I was on the first team in during the crash. I reflect often of the events that transpired that day. Patrick was very courageous. I am so sorry for your loss.

Beautifully said. To bad George Washington and those of his era aren't still around today. This country would be all the better for it.

I told people the dumbocrat party was going to take this country back to the days of hitler. After all Soros was/is a hitler worshiper and he has 4 kids right behind him. He ran from Germany when they lost the war straight to the dumbocrats who took him in for money and they began their downfall of America then. It's in history. All you have to do is look. I stumbled across him in a documentary and it's happened just like I said. The democrats will destroy this country if they get the chance. We dodged a bullet with Harris. They would have used her as a puppet while putting their plan into action and she would have let them.

Ah nostalgia. Spent many afternoons at the bar restaurant before going into my job at the Victoria Station restaurant further down Piedmont Rd. To go to the bathroom one had to pass by the performers dressing room lounge area. Door was always open. A friend brought a group of us into meet Country Joe McDonald and his guitarist Barry Melton. Never would have had to guts to do that by myself. We smoked a joint and Country Joe spent the whole time staring at the ceiling. Saw Jerry Garcia there the night of my high school graduation.

Excellent presentation. However, we the people need specifics on where tax payer funds are being wasted and who is being over compensated. Please tell the people what will be eliminated to reduce spending. Red tape covers a lot of territory. Please be specific.

I spoke out against the SAVVAS curriculum at the School Board meeting on February 21, 2023. As mentioned in the article, we still don’t have an approved social studies curriculum in Beaufort County after more than two years! Teachers are creating their own lesson plans, utilizing information they find on the internet and other sources but without an approved curriculum to use as a benchmark. The decision was made to table the adoption of the SAVVAS curriculum for a later date. This most likely happened because the Superintendent got egg on his face for trying to push through a “woke” curriculum with a weak school board and received more public outcry than was anticipated. They probably hoped to push it through at a later date when the public wasn’t watching but eventually decided to give up completely in order to pursue finding a science curriculum.

This whole fiasco is just another example of why DOGE is needed in the public education bureaucracy. Administrative staff (bureaucracy) at the county, state and federal levels has grown by 88% since 2000. In the same period, student and teacher levels have only grown by 8%. That means bureaucracy in education has grown at an excessively higher rate than the folks doing the actual educating in classrooms and students being taught. We have also seen a continuing decline in school and student performance scores during the same time. That tells me that the bureaucracy is broken and needs much necessary reform. The issues with our county curriculum selection process are a perfect case study as the article explains. If Dr. Parker and the BCS staff are incapable of choosing more than one curriculum at a time, what are they actually doing? The bureaucrats at the county level and the superintendent are incompetent at best and, at worst, don’t actually care about the education our children receive. It is way past time for them to do their job. It is also way past time for the weak, incompetent School Board to hold the superintendent accountable!

This makes sense. The United States has plenty of laws in place to prevent discrimination in hiring practices and to protect the rights of workers without a need for DEI. The Equal Pay Act (EPA), Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Executive Order 11246 governing Affirmative Action Programs for federal contractors until it was recently rescinded. These programs exist to protect employee rights and rely on merit and selecting the most qualified candidates for a position as opposed to other factors such as race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. DEI changed that trajectory focusing more on an individual's identifying characteristics as opposed to merit in decision making.

This just doesn’t make any sense and is such a reach. If the Dems were trying to steal any race.. it would’ve been for Harris. Not a single seat on the Supreme Court that already has a heavy republican majority. I have worked for the board of elections, and the counties that are still counting provisional ballots are largely blue and have larger populations which is why it’s taking longer. This is just biased nonsense from someone who clearly can’t accept that NC voters mostly vote mixed ballots. This race will go to a recount, as it should. Don’t spread misinformation just because you’re mad about the results.

Harris had pleanty of time to get her message out!! She jusy didn't have a message that most of the country wanted! She knew that if she told what she really had planned if she became President that she wouldn't get voted in!! That is the reason for so many word salads! She couldn't tell what she really wanted to do so she just talked all around the questions and then the word salad was invented! That was all on her and the ones that were telling her not to answer the questions!
They do need to audit her campaign! I am sure that there are discrepancies!

Biden is such a busy person he is on vacation you cannot be bothering him he is so important not like you would want to worry about what is going on in our country and help our citizens . Harris is off campaigning being a glorified VP who has done nothing for this country or the citizens in this country! the bottom line they could care less about US citizens! Biden / Harris Administration has their nose everywhere it should not be! they should worry about the United States and the people in this country and that is the last thing they worry about! The Biden/Harris Administration is being paid by US tax dollars to do a job for our citizens but they have neglected to do so for almost 4 years! they need to be fired!

Great piece Buzz. May I add a hearty "Amen" to what you wrote...and added: Another thing about Hood that I have come to learn over the last few years working with him on the Beaufort Observer is this: He is the most principled government official I have ever known personally. I have seen him work through political issues and the distinguishing characteristics that come through are honor and integrity. I can honestly say I have never known him to be dishonest in word or deed...and I think that says alot about a political figure who has been "tested by fire." Finally, a word to those who are tempted to misunderstand Hood's "personality," I've found it instructive of him when I saw how he performed when he chaired the interim Hospital Board. He was a totally different persona than he has been as a minority member of the BOC. He is truly a "leader for all seasons." Hood's brilliance and commitment to honesty has served Beaufort County well and I am proud to call him "friend."

Using your words not mine, once again you left out two of the sniveling rats, Shreve and Carlton. Your own conservative PAC loyalists, or are they really, which one made the motion to close Snowden and the other supported. You just can't stand the truth can you. I may not live south of the river but I watch and pay attention. Maybe you should.

(commented on March 30th, 2025 @ 7:25 pm)
This article names the so-called "four conservative PAC members" and that 2 of them voted in opposition to closing Snowden. It failed to mention that the other 2 voted to close Snowden and that one even made the motion to move forward with the closing. Might want to include all the facts next time.
