After serving 18 plus years as a county commissioner, I have served with 10 separate boards, and even in my initial career of public service here in Beaufort County (as the first Republican ever re-elected to the county commission in our county's history), serving with a full Democrat board, save myself, I have never served with a more liberal board of commissioners than this current board.

Considering the fact that these nominal Republicans cut deals with Liberals to maintain their chairmanships (without the support of we two Conservatives they have to), this board with a Republican majority have steadily edged to a far more Liberal posture costing Beaufort County taxpayers their treasury and common sense governing because of expansive wasteful spending.

Something has to change - that is why I sought to be elected back to the commission - commissioners who have claimed the Republican mantel must learn to govern appropriately or step aside.

A completely wimpish response to a serious issue, completely mishandled by a once proud, but now pathetic university located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Unless he went totally ballistic because Larry was just too much.

Check out the one of the funeral o his Marty's mother, where Larry throws a "soiled" 50 dollars on the floor and creates a Hebrew panic.

Maybe North Carolina's Liberal governor should urge his fellow partisan Socialists to end the "Government Shutdown".

Yoni is the man. I bet he is an Israeli Jew. Impressive Dude.

The Dire Straits video was very raw, probably done when the band had very little experience together and before they got their outstanding keyboardist - Alan Clark.

I think it remarkable that you would even try. Bobby Tony, I don't know if you are trying to impress me or that you are just showing off, but, you certainly keep my attention.

I'm working on "Romeo and Juliet" in my own ham handed way, so, I you have impressed me taking on "Sultans of Swing"; a far more difficult song to master.
to take my grand kids to see the new "Mary Poppins", but tonight, I will go through your post and consider your challenge.

I'm still impressed with your consideration of what should become great consternation. But, Man my must dream of new frontiers ... always.

Excellent.

I had one lay a cussing on me on FB about this Wall thing, when I asked her to reconsider the math when she said that the 5 billion to start the Wall would cover everyone's health insurance.

Regarding the Left's regards for this President, we can sum it up in three words: "RESIST!!" ... "RUSSIA!!!" ... "RACIST!!!!"

I do not own an AR-15, but if I did, I would it, in part, for that very same reason as you stated.

Bobby Tony, you always see the pragmatic truth in a thing to the point of funny.

Few jobs are as lucrative as Federal jobs. If one could fire 25% of nonmilitary jobs, that would be a good fiscal start.

Hilarious. Military /Combat Zone humor is always top nothch.

It is so real. That may be why R. Lee Ermey's character in "Full Metal Jacket" is so memorable.

Bobby Tony, I just saw where Burt Reynolds died on September 6, 2018. I guess I was busy that week.

Sadly, your post is most prophetic.

I really enjoyed this thought provoking, self-reflective post on our human condition and war.

If there is a strike: Immediately fire all those that strike and give the students their tuition money back, and then re-assign them to other classes for free, further making their ability to take lost class a priority for free again.

Then make sure that policy is written that if educators refuse to work, then they are summarily fired for bad conduct.

Great post Ted: Bring in a navy Seal to tell us all, including Seniors, how to "kick ass and take names".

Good theme.

I swear B.T., I have had a terrible cold, which began 34 hours before my first, great return county commissioner meeting, where I hacked, sputtered and wheezed, continuing through the stock market and the Dow yet crashing thousands of more points, and now, your comment was the first belly laugh I have had all week, and I thank-you.

Since Liberals believe that our nation's immigration statutes and policy are written upon the base of the Statue of Liberty in poem form, maybe we should continue that Liberal /Socialist tradition and extend it to other levels of governing by that one poem regarding all Animal Control statutes and policy.

I remember this lady senator sitting in judgement of Judge Brett Kavanaugh during his hearing for Supreme Court justice. She was the one that said Brett Kavanaugh was guilty because a woman, who was alleged she fondled against her will 35 years earlier, accused him of an event that where she could not remember where it happened; she could not remember any credible witnesses, and never told anyone that it happened, and that all men should just "shut up" about it if they struggled with that accusation as credible.

Yes, she is a real smart Democrat Senator.
