Beaufort County Schools are building a new school on the same ground where Eastern Elementary already exists, at a cost of $10,500,000.00 to Beaufort County's Taxpayers. Is this a wise expense of taxpayer dollars at this time?

19.23% Yes, Beaufort County has been awarded a 42 million dollars of grant money from the state of North Carolina (FREE MONEY) to construct school at three hundred and eighty three $ per squ ft.

71.15% No, this is the wrong time, to build the wrong school, on the wrong placement - its lowest point - of Eastern Elementary's existing location, when community schools work best.

9.62% Why should I care about the public's education?

Comment About Jewish Students May Get Ilhan Omar Censured

    Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), a member of the leftist "Squad," is again facing the prospect of being censured, this time for suggesting that some Jewish students support genocide.

    During a visit last week to Columbia University, Omar spoke with a Fox 5 New York reporter about anti-Semitism as she walked on campus with her daughter, Isra Hirsi, a Barnard student who was recently arrested while participating in an anti-Israel protest on campus.

    Omar noted that she had just met some Jewish students in an encampment.

    "I think it is really unfortunate," Omar continued, "that people don't care about the fact that all Jewish kids should be kept safe, and that we should not have to tolerate anti-Semitism or bigotry for all Jewish students, whether they're pro-genocide or anti-genocide."

    One of her Republican colleagues, Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), reportedly took umbrage at the comment about Jewish students and said that he was putting together a censure resolution in response.

    "Talking about pro-genocide Jewish students is wrong," Bacon told Axios, adding that "folks can protest Israel, but don't blame Jewish-American students for Israel. That is by definition anti-Semitism."

    A spokesperson for Omar said the congresswoman "clearly condemned antisemitism and bigotry for all Jewish students," adding, "Attempts to misconstrue her words by drafting this baseless resolution are meant to distract" from the Gaza conflict and anti-war protests.

    It would not be the first time Omar faced the ire of her colleagues. In February, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said she would force a censure vote against Omar for remarks concerning her native Somalia, but did not follow through.

    And Omar was kicked off the Foreign Affairs Committee last year over comments she made about Israel.

    Throughout history, 27 members have been successfully censured, which is a formal rebuke and a less severe form of punishment than expulsion, though there has been an uptick of late.

    Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) were among the House members who were censured last year.

    In a post to X last week, Omar sought to defend the protesters at Columbia, who have demanded the university divest from Israel, and chided public officials and media "making this about anything else are inflaming the situation and need to bring calmness and sanity back."

    Rep. Anthony D'Esposito (R-NY) was among those who fired back, saying, "Ilhan, there's video. Lots of it. These antisemites don't need police & public leaders to make them look bad. They're doing that all by themselves. Only demands should be: Hamas, surrender; Release the hostages."

poll#211

26 days after the October 7th Terror attacks on Israel, where over 1400 Jewish men, women and children were gruesomely murdered, and hundreds more made hostage: Should the Biden /Harris administration finally state that the administration's primary Middle East negotiating partner, Iran, is behind the funding and strategy of the aggressors, the Hamas Terrorists, or continue to take the more moderate position of "Don't," which is clearly not working?

Yes, name Iran as the funding /strategy culprit, and begin to enforce the President Trump era sanctions to END Iran's ability to prosecute this war against Israel and the United States.

No, Iran is a valuable partner in the motives of the Biden / Harris administration, and must not be named as the culprit and our enemy.

I have larger concerns just to survive in this economy.

poll#209

In the minds of many, since January 20, 2021, the World has become far less safe in every theater of conflict, beginning with the attack of Israel by Iran /Hamas, so the question becomes: What caused this Worldwide calamity of extreme geopolitical dysfunction, and what will correct it?

Joe Biden is the cause of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when a Republican is elected president.

This delayed Worldwide dysfunction and constant conflict is all Donald Trump's fault, as it is with everything that occurs going forward, and long before the man ever became the 45th president..

Joe Biden is the "root cause" of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when former President Donald John Trump is elected president.

In the imitable words of Alfred E. Newman: "What, me worry?"
