Well Garry, I am glad that you and The Hood could work that out.

Actually, The Hood was on the Trump Train long before anyone I know of closely ... except possibly Diane Rufino - beaufortcountynow.com.

And, I actually agree too about the labels. Being a Republican in Beaufort County means absolutely nothing right now, and has been moving in that direction for well over a decade to this fruition. Labels are useless, and only action matters to me; The Hood is no different at his core.

There are some real tough times ahead for Beaufort County; there were before the Governor's Unilateral Shutdown of all counties, irrespective of their density.

Please continue to pay attention to the commissioners' meetings, and then ask yourself: What is prudent, understanding that government cannot fix everything, and often make things worse by trying to do so?

You are always welcome to discuss your thoughts on BCN. We are growing as a media space, and are currently the largest online publication in Beaufort County's history, employing the top technology to do so, developed right here in Beaufort County.

Remember, you are welcome.

What Commissioner Richardson says is true.

In my 17 years of budget workshops with The Hood, he never fails to offer an alternative to needlessly wasting the taxpayers treasury.

Watch him do it again, this year very soon, in my 18th year of serving with this true Budget Hawk.

Exactly Clifton. That is is how Socialists operate.

I just put this on BCN's FB page with this comment:

Comrade Cooper does not have the Constitutional right or obligation to enact these Draconian measures.

What we may find is that most stores, while not openly defiant, will not follow these unconstitutional executive orders issued by North Carolina's Democratic Socialist governor.

Ironically, Comrade Cooper, as the former AG for NC, would not follow or defend all of the laws within his charge because he found them "unconstitutional". I can't imagine "Ole Coop" knowing the difference.

Overcome by the Covid Blues.

Health Director Jim Madson is currently giving his report to the county commissioners on Covid-19, also known as the Kungflu.

The normal 35 to 60 member audience is replace with one an audience, a photographer from North State Magazine. He just left before Jim finished his presentation. Jim truly is not that boring. I actually find him quite informative.

In fact, as I ask questions, I find Jim a welcome source of stuff to know here in the "Age of Coronavirus".

Here we have a cautionary tale from Italy as to how and why their nation has been devastated by the Coronavirus.

That may be what we are doing. They will be shutting down my county next. We have three cases so far out of about 49,000 people.

Bobby Tony, if you are out there, I am one chord (A/G#) away from playing this song. That breakthrough may come the next time I try running this one around the block.

If these poll numbers are relatively true, I would pretend to sympathize with these sad folks, if were not so pathetic.

Wake up Americans, no one gets out of here alive; we are all dying each and every day of our existence. We, as a collective of the human species, die. Ultimately, this is what we most have in common.

The dying is not what is important, it is the living, so toughen up and stop moaning about what you have yet to fathom.

Mr. Trump is on this. "Where's Joe Biden" is still complaining about "erecting barriers and Xenophobia"

This post is an important reminder that we still have freedoms, and while Governor Cooper may have a probable right to close the schools, unless taken away by the NC General Assembly, closing businesses and other mass gatherings is a huge stretch since the governor has no NC Constitutional authority to do so.

In the clear view of hindsight, I now see that Don Cox may have been duped into playing a roll to weaken me in this election, so that other very committed Beaufort County RINOs could remove me from the county commission in this primary.

It was a longshot, but, after more than 50,000.00 campaign dollars spent in this primary by their side (the most ever spent in any Beaufort County commissioner election ever), and with the crazy limited voting format, they succeeded.

Since this election cycle when the Nominal Republicans took over the board of commission, Beaufort County Taxes have risen aggressively due to the highest spending in the history of Beaufort County.

Remember, these are so-called Republicans raising your taxes.

Nice image of the infamous Loretta Lynch. Whatever would Infamous Loretta Lynch have to do with justice? Well understanding her history, I am not so sure what she has to do with diversity either.

The House of Representatives' resolution to institute an unconstitutional "War Powers Act" upon the Executive Branch is yet just another event, where the non patriot leadership of the House wants to reassure their non patriot base of voters that they will continue to "Resist" Mr. Trump, even if it means giving Aid and Comfort to the Enemy.

That is all that the Democratic Socialists resolved today in their simple act of self-imposed "Resistance".

The Soleimani Hit was a smart and courageous move by our President and our military.

Equally as big as the Bin Laden kill, this decisive elimination of evil kind will pay well for the good efforts of our best citizens, as well as the subjugated Iranians, who yearn to be free of this theocratic evil.
