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?

22.73% 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 3.00 per squ. ft.

65.91% 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.

11.36% Why should I care about the public's education?

State Department cancels 83% of USAID programs, thanks DOGE

After a six week reiew of programs funded by USAID, the United States State Department has cancelled 83% of them as being not helpful and in some cases actually harmful to the core mission of US diplomacy. Secretary of State Marco Rubio publicly thanked DOGE for uncovering the waste and fraud in the heavily woke agenda of USAID and the types of programs is was funding.

Secretary Rubio said that the remaining 17% of programs deemed beneficial would be administered directly by the State Department going forward. The State Department will be working with Congress on the details of that.

USAID had become a rogue agency, throwing away money on ideological agendas instead of real foreign aid. It is a good thing that waste and fraud has now been eliminated.
