In the shadow of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning USA, a stain now exists upon our nation's collective conscious, a condition that must be excised, or our nation will not function properly as one of a self-governed people. Understanding these long standing truths: What would you suggest as a quick, and, or proper corrective measure?
20% Destroy the Fascist Donald Trump and all of MAGA, because America must never be Great Again.
80% Our self-governed people, and their properly restored institutions, under President Trump, must discover the root causes to properly correct, and save our Constitutional Republic.
0% I thought we had to shut down Free Speech we don't like to save our "democracy," so I am totally confused now.

I was in attendance, as were a room full of Beaufort County citizens. I suppose there were at least 200 present along with the media.

Late in the day on Friday, 10/10/2014, the Federal Court handed down its decision over the NC Marriage Amendment, adopted with great angst a couple of years ago.

I am told there are equally "deep pockets" folks funding the Hagan Campaign. With current disclosure laws supposed to make Campaign Finance more transparent, we have a TOTAL FAILURE.

We left for Florida Monday, a week ago, in the rain.
 
We have heard about the changes in Voter Registration rules for NC. I am not in favor of ANYTHING which makes any voter have unnecessary blocks as a barrier to expressing his right to vote, come November. The current deadline is October 10.

WOW!!! I hope you made a personal copy for review at least 10 times! It is so full of more recent history. It is totally full of "history repeating itself."

It seems the author, P.L. Travers, was quite a hand-full for Walt Disney. With all pomp and circumstance she was invited to Los Angeles to approve the script and movie.

I don't have one. Those of my Baby Boomer Generation were taught that they were ugly and a form of self-abuse. Only sailors or roughnecks had them. The women who did were supposed to be circus performers or other "low" forms of society in the female side.

I trust many of you have discovered the Roosevelt series running this week on PBS at 8:00. It is Proof Positive that history repeats itself and positions change drastically so don't assume what neither Democrat nor Republican stands for.

It was a lovely September day and we were working on a big pine tree in Tarboro. It had to be dropped just right and gently to prevent yard damage to an elegant front yard in a nice neighborhood of that lovely town in Edgecombe County.

This is in response to a people trying to say the problems in America today have to do with a loss of Conservative and Religious basics.

A good friend of mine knows my political position = INDEPENDENT who leans Democrat. He also knows that I DISPISE people who use hate and division to get a political advantage.

I have been trying to get a better handle on what is really going on between Vidant and Belhaven.
 
It is drawing nigh to August 25, the date set for hearings to begin over the battle between Vidant Medical Group, LLC, and the citizens of Belhaven who are up in arms over losing their local hospital.

I am now age 68. Since I was age 30, I have suffered from a chronic prostate. It is a direct result of stress and dealing with a small town Baptist church in the beginning!

Here is a story of the big Mars Hill Church out in California. Like Vidant, it is a 501(c)3 Tax-exempt / Non-profit institution.

Yesterday was a big day for the people of Belhaven trying to save their hospital and medical care. Vidant is the Corporate Giant headquartered in Greenville, NC.

The Pastor spoke and the crowd, already most respectful, hushed. He began a lovely old spiritual and you could tell people were serious, but not angry. His prayer was for God's help in their Hospital plight.

I have been trying to get before this body and the public since the first of this year relative to the Property Tax evaluations, especially those touching water.

Until you have felt the sting of miscarried justice and been in a bad and filthy jail, you have no compassion for those in our County Jail right now! How many citizens have spent the night there and eaten the food to see what it really is???

What can I say??? It was entertaining / it was enlightening / it was comical / it was sad . . . I only have a page and I could write a book on the Beaufort County Council Meeting last night whose main topic was a possible new Law Enforcement Center.

This is a serious subject. It is drawing some good early response. It is not the kind of subject you can write a definite final “thus saith the Lord” treatise on. I would like to be the leader of discussion rather than some arbitrator.

My good friend and mentor, Wayne Martin, sent this to me. I send it to you as just one more example of the way terms like "liberal" and "conservative" are thrown around these days.

I was peacefully shopping at our local Wal-Mart. It is a joy to be in that particular store, although I normally hate the crowds at them elsewhere. In another town where I used to live there were 2 stores.

To be accurate, I don't think most citizens really know what or who we are! Civics is not a required subject nor is political science.

I see it in the same light as President Ford tripping on the steps of AF- 1 = brings him down to the "foot-in-mouth" disease of most of us. Those who speak publicly and the audience begins to snicker, immediately start to regret they ever said a word for idiots to criticize.

    Vicktor Frankel's "Man's Search for Meaning" was a book I read as I majored in Psychology at Emory. He was a prisoner of the Nazis.

As tired as I was last night, this morning could well be called a resurrection! It feels great to be alive and have a purpose other than filling a chair or bed in a nursing home!

I am now 68 and have enough life experience to comment with a degree of wisdom. After a long journey with intelligentsia, Augustine says something simple and real to me: “Almighty God, himself supremely good, would never allow anything evil to invade his works, unless he were so almighty and so good
