Chairman Garris and the Victory Committee are willing to blow the local GOP to smithereens for the chance to get Deatherage. Don't worry Ed (Booth). These savvy Repub "insiders" aren't focused on you at all.

Hood, the point of having experienced campaign committees like the Victory Committee is to see that party campaign funds are used effectively to try to elect the entire ticket. I have never heard anyone on the current committee address supporting one Republican over another, to do so would be highly improper. The committee did not even meet during the primary.

There are no "victory committee approved" candidates for county commissioner and the committee has done nothing to take sides in that race. The committee does not ccontrol the facebook page or website. We are presently advertising on radio and on social media.

I have heard of the highly inappropriate "Hood ornament" ads, but have seen nothing to indicate that the Victory Committee paid for or had anything to do with such ads. The Victory Committee spent money SUPPORTING Tex Melton and Shari Clark, certainly NOT anything opposing them.

As an individual voter, when I look at who to vote for I look at two things. One is whether they stand strong on conservative issues, not take evasive and uncertain positions. If multiple candidates pass that test, then I look at their record. Do they walk the walk as well as talking the talk? When you look at the three Republicans running for county commission, it is easy to put them into a 1,2,3 position, with the Democrat, of course, being 4. With "limited voting" however, we only get one vote, not the three we should have in any fair and democratic system.

Folks may or may not agree with Hood depending on what is being discussed. However, Hood has made a point of shining a light on the corruption that exists within the leadership of the Beaufort County Republican Executive Committee and specifically, the Victory Committee. For all of the naysayers, one only needs to look at the Beaufort County Republican Party Facebook page. This page is run by the Executive Committee and Carolyn Garris as the point of contact. During an election, the Executive Committee should be promoting all Republican candidates for County Commissioner. Sides should not be taken or favor shown to one candidate over another. This is not the case. Ashley Woolard, a Victory Committee member, has two or more ads promoting him on the page. No ads promoting Stan Deatherage or John Edwards appear on the page. Stan requested to have one of his ads included on the page a week ago. However, his ad was not posted, nor were Ashley Woolard's taken down if they had been posted mistakenly. Both Edwards and Deatherage should rightfully be outraged regarding this issue. It appears that Hood is correct, that the Victory Committee is playing favorites, and that the corruption within the party is on full display for those who observe.

Civility? How can you possibly be a maga and say it matters?

In all of these riots, migrants are a huge part of the problem. Police should arrest every migrant they can who is rioting, and they should be deported back to their home country along with all of their relatives. Throw the Rascals Out was the slogan of a French political party of the 1950s and should apply to all rioting migrants today.

If a false voter registration like the one for Fani Willis in New York was done by either of the slack and sleazy registration methods, online or mail-in, neither of which would be allowed in an honest system, they will probably never be caught. The only honest way to register voters is their appearance in person before a qualified elections official, the way it was done for centuries in this country until the Democrats subverted it.

The woman who registered her dog and voted it only got caught because she was arrogant enough to boast about it on social media and got turned in. If she had not done that, the dog would still be voting today. How many more dogs are still voting? What about BS Bob's dog?

As my Great Uncle has always said: "THEY not only create problems, they create "the solutions" to solve these problems which, in reality, leads to a predetermined endgame that THEY'VE engineered also."

It's all a shitshow that runs off of people's fear, negative energy and blind compliance.

I've enjoyed working with Steve Rader on the School Board. We will miss his ability, experience and his dedication to principled accountability.

Undermining US elections is what the Democrats have been hard at since at least Covid. They bring in crooked lawyers like Marc Elias to help them do it. That is why an overwhelming majority of Americans back the SAVE America Act to stop that BS from the Democrats.

Probably the state most screwed up in its elections is California. Most Third World elections are now better run and more honest than those in California.

That reminds me of Washington,NC. A Dept head told a citizen regarding a rule: "It means whatever we say it means!"

But that is only the tip of the iceberg. Just like NY city, the cities of NC are run by a group of NGO's. (NCLM) They tell the city govt what to think and how to treat its citizens.
If an employee is here long enough they become completely BrainWashed!
This causes the local govt ppl to circle the wagons against its citizens and go into secrecy mode, just like the Victory committee. We are doomed. Why? Because most ppl cant see that its happening right here in little Washington.

"As NGO's Infiltrate every govt agency, the anti-Americans win the future."
