If you hand over ALL this information about yourself, you are naive.

Beaufort County is implementing a new emergency alert system. All residents are encouraged to sign up to receive alerts via phone and email:
Enter your phone number(s) and email address(es).
Provide an address to receive alerts for a specific location.
That could be your home address, your workplace, your child's school, a family member's house or another area.

Reading the forum topics, I was once again convinced that there is no limit to creativity and the desire for comfort. Everyone shares tips, tells you how to cope with difficulties, speed up household processes, and improve the space around you. It is important not to focus on standard schemes, but to look for new approaches to solving familiar tasks, because it is creativity that often leads to unexpected but beneficial results. For example, tips on storage, organization of space, choice of materials and equipment — all this looks like a small mosaic that adds up to a picture of an ideal lifestyle.

But no cozy environment, even with the most modern solutions, will be complete without a reliable water supply. This raises the question of the well, because it is its own water source that often becomes the answer to the challenges of the time, rising tariffs, and interruptions of centralized networks. This is a sustainable solution for those who value stability and care about the fut

All three had good answers and truthfully getting three existing councils out and replace them with these three candidates will be a positive thing. It’s time out for just holding seats. Don’t vote for people because you know them or because of race but vote for the person that honestly care and wants change for all.

I recorded a Ray Whitley song (called "Let's Try Something New") around 1967 or so with Ray as our producer at the classic "Old Schoolhouse" studio in Brookhaven community where most of the Atlanta recorded hits of the 1960's were recorded (including the Tams hits) I really enjoyed that session and was sad to hear of Ray's passing.

John Valley: Good points, I guess only time will tell on DC's future.

On a little personal note, Dean Cain was my least favorite Superman and his acting skills went so far downhill to the point where he was "CANCELLED" and no-one would or will hire him for any roles, maybe he should have stayed out of politics as all actors should. He said that he left acting to focus on family, but I don't by it! The truth was that he was 99.98% "CANCELLED" because of his political views and statements.

Also, Christopher Reeve will always be the best Superman and one last cool fact, Reeve's son makes a guest appearance in the new film, and that is at least one good thing about the new film I suppose.

(commented on July 27th, 2025 @ 12:41 pm)
Dean Cain doesn't know what he's talking about! I did some quick research to find out that Superman 2025 is already a box office hit. The budget for that film was $350 million and it's already hit $415.1 million worldwide and climbing. So, it did not loss any money at all and everything earned from now on is straight profit!

How to Train your Dragon is doing a lot better with a smaller budget of $150 million and currently at a box office of $592.6 million worldwide which is some damn good profit right there!

All I want to add at this moment RH, is that if you/we contact any elected official, and they dont bother to reply...then kick them to the curb. Give someone else your vote. Term limits is a good thing, even for the paid/volunteer bureaucrats who really run the show.

So your game is to come on NOW, thumb your nose and write "naney naney naney"...you lost and I won! LOL, no R.H., Kidwell lost because no matter how he voted in Raleigh, he failed WeThePeople. The people voted and didnt want to see more of him. There was a reason for that. He wasnt working for us, he was working for big corporations. By the way, I dont worship politicians, and have trouble understanding why some folks do. But I do know some people think it makes themselves important, if they can rub elbows with people having "titles." Kidwell failed YOU too. I sorry that your whole life seems to be wrapped up in HIS life. Is it possible that your future, is dependent on HIS future?
You're sure acting that way.

The election is over. Kidwell lost, so stop campaigning already. Armstrong hasnt even taken office yet, and yet you think u are Nostradamus and are predicting bad service from him.
Ya'll remind me of the Democrat woman I saw on TV recently who said: I dont care if they are Nazi's at home as long as they vote the "right way." That seems to be your theory on Kidwell. These people are "Representatives," they are suppose to be helpful to any citizen that reaches out. Kidwell got too big for his britches and forgot that. So the people retired him. It's over, UNLESS you are campaigning for him to run in a different position??? Is that what the "useful idiots" are being told to do?
CAn I name where Kidwell failed? Yes, he forgot WeThePeople, while protecting Big Government against us.

Are you on the Victory Committee that Kidwell sits on here in the Beaufort County GOP?

First, let me acknowledge that the roles of County Commissioners and School Board Members are not easy. When done well, these positions require dedication, thoughtful decision-making, and hard work. Thank you to all who serve and help keep the county functioning as smoothly as possible.

That said, there is a quadrant of this county, the third largest of six townships and the fourth most populated, that is the source of the most local income and tax revenue and includes multiple communities and an incorporated town, that is now functioning worse from the decision of the School Board. This area and its school district are now destabilized. The elementary school and the people it served were not considered important enough for elected officials to explore reasonable alternatives before removing the school from an entire township community.

Consolidation has been ongoing for over a century. For the first 50 years, and during the 60s and 70s desegregation, it made sense. But as it has become more centralized, it increasingly fails to serve the unique needs of local elementary aged children, especially in remote communities like Aurora when viewed through the lens of child well being. Despite the education and experience among Board Members, the emphasis was less on children than on balancing the county’s overall education budget at the expense of one of its most underserved and remote school populations. Instead of lobbying for more resources to meet the actual needs, the Board chose to close the least visible school.

We’re hearing from families now forced to relocate, change jobs, or cancel their plans to move into the area. Others, who just moved here before the closure decision, are scrambling to figure out how to manage their children’s schooling and their family’s stability. Busing small children for long hours each day should have been reason enough to reconsider. But the impact goes beyond logistics; this decision is dismantling a community one family at a time.

Had proper impact studies been conducted, as required by state policy, the Board would have likely seen this coming. But for most Board members, this isn’t your district, and these aren’t your families being affected. While I don’t believe the decision was made with malice, I do believe that if this were your children, your school, and your community on the line, you and others would have made a different choice.

This article brings up some very concerning issues about Williams, who supports him and why? Is this the old boy system at work? Does it indicate future corruption? Certainly someone so eagerly sought after and endorsed by Democrats and defense attorneys brings up questions about whether Williams is a true Republican. How impartial would he be as a judge? Seems like he'll be soft on crime if defense attorneys are supporting him that much.

I suppose the most troubling thing is the question of ethics. Not only of the judges mentioned in the article and their decision to be involved in a campaign, especially outside their own party, but Williams' ethics or moral compass himself. A review of the Williams campaign finance reports does indicate the majority of his funding (between 67 to 87 percent based on differing analyses but clearly a majority) comes from defense attorneys. What will he owe them afterwards if elected? What do they expect in return for their support? However, the biggest concern for me came in the mail. I got a letter promoting Williams, a palm card or brochure, that came in an envelope with a return address of Jones & Sasnett, P.A. in Washington, NC. The postage wasn't a peel and stick stamp but a Pitney Bowes stamp machine ink printed postage mark. It appears from this that Jones & Sasnett paid for the mailing, a campaign contribution. This seems to violate Campaign Finance laws about taking contributions from corporations or businesses. Whether this is a violation of Campaign Finance law or not and the repercussions are above my knowledge level. It certainly brings up serious moral questions in addition to legal questions regarding Williams and his campaign. It is even more concerning when you expect someone wanting to be judge doesn't seem to follow rules, laws, and seems questionable in their activities to get there.

I'm no Nostradamus but I predicted the downfall of Aurora in 1974.I told people that they was no way you could mine at the depth they were doing and not disturb the aquifer. As I studied more I said that there was a possibility of polluting the waterways. Slowly over the years my predictions came to life.with Pollutants come the the chance of cancer and that has happened also.

Good morning Mr. Blinson,

Thank you for your article of June 17. It was amazing. So many points that I and those of us who have taken a great interest in, you have summed up in this piece. You are so correct that Snowden is a big part of this entire picture currently, but the bigger picture is as Snowden goes, so goes the County of Beaufort. It is not about consolidating everything and pulling it all closer to Washington. That should not be their growth plan. Tt is more about the County Leaders having the foresight to push economic development and growth to all parts of its territory. "Share the wealth and the wealth will be shared with you guys." It is a sad day when a small town feels the need to cross County borders for a vast number of resources; thereby, increasing the economy in its neighboring county, Pamlico, who opened its arms to Aurora/Richland Township residents.

Sincerely,

Joy Peele Dunn, President
Aurora Richland Township Chamber of Commerce

Auditor, you are certainly correct that this information is held inside the city's books. Auditors can not add or delete information, only verify and perhaps reorganize. The problem is that the books are not open to the public. Since November 4th, I've requested three simple bits of information several times: 1. If any debt has been added during this fiscal year, and what our current total debt is. 2. What percentage of the budgeted amounts has been spent in each fund and how much we are below budget. 3. If we wanted to pay off any debt, how much is unrestricted and available for us to do so. When I asked Greenville for this information I received it in a few hours. I have yet to receive it from Washington.

Your accusation of my ignorance or deception is curious. I do not claim to be anything more than a citizen-representative reporting back to my fellow citizens. While I am certainly not a municipal accountant, and I suspect neither are the other 99.99% of residents and former city councilmen and mayors, I have a rudimentary grasp of finance and accounting. Like most, I rely on the high-paid director of finance, the finance department, and the expensive outside annual audit for information. When none of that information is supplied expeditiously or intelligibly, I have little recourse except to become suspcious and seek outside opinions. If you have this skillset, I highly encourage you to investigate and I would greatly appreciate your feedback.

My goals are pretty straightforward. I want to lower our property tax rate and naturally the budget is a fairly big part of that. The audit is inordinately important to me because I cannot get these numbers from our finance department and I'm trusting that I will get them from the auditors.

I do not leap to the conclusion that things are nefarious. The state auditor said that sloppiness is far more common than graft. What I am saying is that this information has been elusive. I cannot speak to past experience or history, I can only speak to my personal experience since November 4th. And I intend to continue relaying that experience openly to all who care to hear about it. I appreciate your reading and I appreciate any advice and criticism.

Stan, we have a real opportunity during this election. Lou Hodges is not running; William Pitt withdrew from the race; and Brooks barely skated in last time. That's three potential seats. If the conservatives in Washington really turn out this year the Republicans will control the Washington City Council for the first time in living memory. We can accomplish amazing things. If we use that wave of enthusiasm we can tip the scales during the County Commisioners race and we can have the the city and county controlled by conservatives! This is the year to make great things happen! Let's ruduce property tax to nearly zero percent, trim the budget by 10%, cut utility costs by 10%, and ferret out all corruption, waste, fraud, and abuse!

My understanding is
Brooke McGowen won the popular vote by 4 votes. Because the rules use a weighted vote- the # of qualified delegates at each district is included. I think Beaufort County has 40 qualified to come to the convention. Only 13 of us were there voting but once we had a majority voting for Brooke McGowen instead of Jason Simons, she got 40 “weighted votes”
She lost by 805 votes.
Some counties have hundreds of qualified delegates.
Sooo… we as a smaller county could increase our voting power if we could enlarge the # of eligible delegates.

Well, it was at least refreshing to see that Steve Rader corrected you on your statement that Daniel Hudson and myself was "trying to steal Steve Rader's fire" on suggesting we hire a local attorney. It was indeed Daniel Hudson who brought it before the board after he and I discussed this multiple times. Secondly, your comment that "I stated I would never vote for anyone other than Tharrington and Smith to represent the school board" is grossly incorrect. I stated I would not vote to remove them from retainer but voted to search for a local attorney to use on a day to day basis. Thirdly, your comment that CPS Principal was incorrect on stating that Snowden parents and students are completely happy at CPS, an "A" rated school, shows you haven't been at the school. I've visited the school at least 10 times since August and see how much these students are benefitting. Maybe try visiting the school yourself. Your readers deserve better or better yet watch the video themselves.

Every since Nutrien crossed the street and found more ore, the continuation of the destruction of aurora continues. Only building with ay taxes going to it is the school, post office, and liqour store. The town isn't good enough for a bank, grocery store, drs office, and now any school, but there's a person in that liqour store everyday selling shot bottles of liqour to the community. The county wants aurora to be gone and if I was a resident of that town I'd be heartbroken. No taxes are going towards helping them. Its a travesty.

Illegal immigrants in the United States have the right to due process, meaning they cannot be deprived of life, liberty, or property without fair legal proceedings. This right is guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. While the extent of due process protections may vary depending on the circumstances, all individuals, regardless of their immigration status, are entitled to some form of fair legal procedures.

Fifth Amendment:

This amendment states that "No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law".

Fourteenth Amendment:

This amendment uses the Due Process Clause, which describes the legal obligation of all state governments to provide equal protection of the laws to all persons, regardless of their immigration status.

Happy Birthday Hood. It’s always interesting to me that people think because you vote to lower taxes, you are automatically a good steward. Going all the way to Washington DC on the taxpayers dime is such an accomplishment. Kudos. It’s also quite interesting that the employees are held to a strict per dime that doesn’t even cover meals while ALL commissioners eat high on the hog. Them $40 breakfasts and $50 dinners on the taxpayers dime isn’t being a good steward. It’s giving “do as I say, not as I do”. It’s amazing what a public information request reveals.

According to the 2026 State Plan of Organization, the chair of the county committee nominates the chair of these subcommittees.

From Section 4-203
"...Upon taking office, the County Chair shall nominate (i) the Election Integrity Chair and the Audit Committee Chair and (ii) may nominate a General Counsel and a Finance Committee Chair, if that Committee is created in accordance with Section 4-302(d), each of whom shall be subject to confirmation by the County Executive Committee".

If the person nominated to chair these subcommittees are not confirmed by the Executive Committee, the chair is obligated to nominate someone else.

The implication of this language is that subcommittee chairs must be nominated and members appointed upon the completion of the county convention every odd numbered year.

The county PoO is to be brought into compliance with the current state PoO by December 31 following the effective date of the state plan.

For all on this forum that castigate Commissioner Richardson for his relentless attacks on The Chairperson of the Beaufort County Republican Party, take a deep breath.

The Beaufort County Republican Party is in shambles. The NC Republican Party Plan of Organization is totally ignored in Beaufort County. Take a few minutes to read it. It is posted online at the NC Republican Party website. The 2024 NC Republican Party Plan has been ignored. The recently adopted 2026 NC Republican Party Plan is being ignored.

A county plan of organization must comply with the state plan.

The Chairperson and executive committee have clearly identified roles. These clearly identified roles are being ignored. Calling out these deficiencies during the minimally required executive committee meetings and on these posts is not ridiculously boring or tedious. It is an obligation of anyone demanding adherence to the party rules.

The NC Republican Party adopted a new Plan of Organization during the NCGOP Convention in June 2026. This new plan requires revisions to the 2025 Beaufort County Plan of Organization. To date, I have seen no efforts by the BC Republican Party to modify the 2025 PoO to align with the new state plan.

There were statements made by the local party leadership that did not comply with the state 2024 state PoO in effect at the Beaufort County precinct meetings and the Beaufort County Republican Convention.

The rules stated before the state convention were not effective in February and March 2026. Hopefully the local Beaufort County Republican Party can come into compliance before the 2027 BC GOP County convention.

Trump has no interest in saving the whales or lowering your utility bills. He plans on drilling in the ocean. Drilling will kill far more then the whales. Drill Baby Drill.

Just checking back in, and I see that the Undocumented Racism continues here still.

Stan: You are an old white man, and Ms. Abrams is a progressive black woman.

Is it it any wonder that you say these negative things about her just she learned how to work the system like you old white men.

Those answers are simple, and can be simply summed up in one answer: Donald Trump is Hitler.

Mr. Fucito you seem to have spent a lot of effort explaining why things talked about in a recess dont go into a set of minutes. That all seems logical. What I dont see you explaining is why there was so much effort involved to avoid a meeting or reconvening one. Seems like that WOULD require minutes and nobody wanted the ouster of Unca Hood and the other two ladies to be on record much less that the police were called. If something isnt rotten enough to pass the smell test there usually isnt a need to try to keep it in the dark.

Giving the Army a grand 250th birthday celebration was the right move. It is important to remind the people of this nation (99% who have not served themselves since the creation of the all volunteer military) what it takes to give us the freedoms we enjoy. This is more important given all of the things happening with China, Iran, Russia, North Korea and more. Hegseth served low enough in the ranks not to be corrupted by the bureaucratic and political issues that have been detrimental to the military over the past 20-30 years. His leadership and vision to bring back the focus on lethality and the warrior ethos within our armed forces is vital and necessary. The sharp increase in recruitment since Trump was reelected is a clear demonstration that the people who serve and protect America, many who come from multiple generations of veterans, didnt agree with the Biden/Obama eras of DEI and mismanagement in DoD.

Wasn't our nation started because We the People opposed an actual King? Were we not opposed to taxation without representation? Did we not fight back when those who would oppress us came for our firearms, the AR-15s of the day, at Lexington and Concord? Don't our founding documents lay out a limited federal government so that the sovereign states could represent their people according to what they believed best? People shouldn't fear their government, governments should fear their people. They do work for us after all, not the other way around. Its sad to many people don't realize this or remember it. Its a travesty the bureaucrats and seemingly more often the judiciary don't understand this either.
