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.

News release:

Good Afternoon:

    I have enclosed a briefing that was done earlier today, but is still very valid. The only thing I would add is that the rainfall we do receive is going to be wind driven and this will create more visibility issues if you are driving. It appears the worst of the storm may not arrive here until around 7:00 pm this evening.

    Once again, it is very important to not get caught outside during one of these storm lines. It is possible there will be two lines of storms separated in time by one half hour so please remain inside until the storms have completely passed by your home. Report power outages to your power provider and downed trees across roads to the Department of Transportation. If you witness or have verified major damage to structures please contact the undersigned. If you are witnessing a life threatening event of any kind please dial 911.

The last derecho to assault Beaufort County, as evidenced by these two images, made quite a mess and claimed the lives of two folks: Above and below. photos by Stan Deatherage

    Fire Chiefs and EMS Captains please respect the winds as we dispatch vehicles and crews into harm’s way. Once again, during the Severe Storms please do not use the High Level US 17 bridge for Emergency traffic unless that is your only option. Chiefs and Captains just as a reminder, you have the authority to delay response if the weather situation so dictates as per the Beaufort County Standard Operating Procedures guidelines.

    Please be Safe Out There and stay “Weather Aware”.

    Thank You for your attention.
