Maybe you need to do some research on topics like this before you write an asinine article. Cardiac monitors ARE used to treat cardiac issues not just look at the patient’s heart and monitor vital signs. They use electricity to correct cardiac dysrhythmias. They monitor more than just a blood pressure and pulse. As a tax paying citizen of Beaufort County, I believe our EMS providers are entitled to have the BEST equipment to save lives. I would think as a county commissioner that is supposed to “represent” the constituents, you’d want that too. I’d hate to see the expense of a lawsuit against Beaufort County due to a death linked to one of the outdated and out of service cardiac monitors that you’re using now. I’d personally hold you responsible. Time for you to retire Hood!

I have come to the conclusion that after the 9-11 tragedy, when we were attacked by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda, though they destroyed buildings and killed thousands of people, they didn’t managed to destroy the United States and Americans will to survive and move forward. Nor did it stop America’s support of Israel, or its involvement in the Persian Gulf War and its continued military presence in the Middle East. So now they have come up with a new plan to destroy the United States from within our government.

Now we have a “Democratic Socialist Squad” of 4 women: 1. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez born in the Bronx, NYC, of spanish decent in a Catholic Family. 2. Rashida Tlaib, born in Detroit, Mi., the first Palestinian-American woman in Congress of Muslim Faith. 3. Ilhan Abdullahi Omar born in Mogadishu, Somalia, of Muslim Faith. 4. Ayanna Soyini Pressley, born in Chicago, Il., African American, religious preference unknown.

Doesn’t anyone see and hear and understand what is going on? These 4 women have completely different core values from what our Constitution stands for. The people who voted these 4 in are searching for a leader to lead them to the “FREE” land, where everything is free, because they think this country owes it to them or they are just to lazy to go out and get it for themselves. This is not what this country was founded on. And what these people don’t understand is nothing is life is for free and eventually someone will be around to collect the payment and the payment will be so large that you will lose everything, even your freedom. That is called “COMMUNISUM”.

Funny to me how hypocritical your "defund the police" movement is so adamant here in Beaufort County when the Beaufort Observer and BCN has such a strong opinion against other "defund the police" movements happening across the country in states, cities, and towns you know absolutely nothing about.

But that should be the entire point, correct? Forming our opinions based on merit instead of political party? Something Beaufort Observer and BCN has zero interest in doing until it serves the Reublican interest?

This is nothing more than a smear campaign by a front group for the meat industry, which has long tried to make PETA and other animal protection groups look bad in an attempt to distract from the real issues. Unlike the industries this group represents--which kill animals painfully, so they can make money by selling their flesh--PETA is a shelter of last resort for animals who need euthanasia to end their suffering (many of whom have been rejected by other facilities because euthanizing them would make their “numbers” look bad). This includes dogs who are aggressive and unadoptable because they have been kept chained their entire lives; feral cats dying of contagious diseases; animals who are wracked with cancer; elderly animals who have no quality of life and whose desperate guardians brought them to PETA because they can’t afford to pay a vet to euthanize them; and the list goes on. Euthanasia is a kindness for animals who are suffering beyond hope and have nowhere else to turn. PETA refers healthy, adoptable animals to local shelters and has also found excellent, lifelong homes for many animals themselves. Please watch this short video to see some of the animals PETA has helped in its community: www.youtube.com.

I was not familiar with this story until I stumbled upon Westerby at the early voting site about a week out from the election and he turned his head away from the crowd, and said with a big grin on his face, "an Exocet Missile has been launched out here" Intrigued, I studied up on the battle, and quickly became hip to what was going on when the next time out there I saw the target babbling away on his cell phone as a couple of dozen voters walked right pass him. It reminded me how the air 'defence officer was talking on a satellite phone when the missile hit.

Steve is right. The Biden administration and campaign have irresponsibly thrown this extreme rhetoric out to the public and there have been horrendous consequences. Other administrations are not blameless either, but Biden has exceeded all others. The mainstream corporate media continues to bear plenty of blame too. How do you justify a man being murdered by saying he was a polarizing figure. Is it the belief in the Golden Rule or the free speech advocacy that make Kirk polarizing? Maybe this irrational rationale passes muster in the present-day Left-Wing bubble, but it is certainly not true in my world.

I find hateful violence and authoritarianism way more polarizing than anything Charlie Kirk ever stood for.

Stan: Yeah, it's the same thing except they've upped the ante from name calling to murder.

Cancel Culture was conjured up by people lacking character. Its proof the authoritarians on the left truly fear healthy debate and free speech. Yes, I do consider it evil.

You probably aren't aware of this. Monica was buried Today, Tuesday October 9th.
I would hate for a family member or friend see the missing notice, and have to relive the sad situation.

And that was very selfish thing to do. Punishing hard working dedicated students over some lazy unethical people. nOw I have to drive 25 min out of my way to attend college at another school because of this nonsense. So sad, when I have a college right down the road from me. But thank god I will not have to continue on this routine much longer since I will be graduating this year. Not everyone in this town has money or comes from money. Some of us are single mothers with children to support and have bills to pay. So thanks a lot bccc board for your thoughtless decision.

Obviously, there are uninformed voters that do not know the difference between conservatives and RINOs. I would suggest the reading of the republican party platform and then determine if County commissioners (republicans) vote according to the ethical, moral standards of the party. Jyst because a person is registered as a republican, does not mean he/she adheres to the party platform. The person suggesting that Commissioners Richardson and Deatherage are not conservative obviously do not k iw the meaning of CONSERVATIVE. I challenge everyone to attend a commissioners mtg. And listen to certain commissioners that are opposed to investigating the number of illegals in BC and the cost to the tax payers. And, speaking about commissioners with derision, that believe the border should be closed in order to control fentanyl and drug dealers should be put in jail as a means if curtailing substance abuse. I thought true republucans believed in border security and drug dealers going to jail.
