At the point in time for Beaufort County Government, my conservative estimate is that we spend about 21% too much of the county's treasury for our bureaucracy.
Commissioner Richardson is right to question everything at this point.

I was so hoping that "Head Fake" (my very own coined well considered name for Robert Francis O'Rourke) would have been the Democratic Socialist Candidate.

Commented on Will the Soul of our Republic Survive?Thanks Cynthia for your well considered comment.
I do well appreciate that you understand that our best way forward is to employ the values of our past. No matter how flawed the United States may be, what nation is not(?), we are the World's greatest hope and have been for 78 years, since 1941.

Maybe it is my life's experience governing Beaufort County, but, county commissioners, often, "can say the darndest things".

Learning about governing in this pseudo body politic is admirable training; however, I hope they understand that the real world is all very different.

Commented on Rejection of the Electoral College is the Surest Path to the Destruction of this CountryThanks Diane.
It's just common sense, that the more agrarian states should have more proportionate power since we are closer to the land. Being closer to the land is truly a far different reality than stuck in cities and suburbs, where using the land, knowing the land, paying taxes on the land is a necessity. Diane, what you whipped up here in a matter of minutes, which is your prolific custom, would make an outstanding post on the perspective of Limited Government, with the Electoral College as an allegorical necessity.

Commented on Rejection of the Electoral College is the Surest Path to the Destruction of this CountryFrom my perspective, I love the Electoral College, and believe it to be one of our Founders greatest creations.
Anytime any power can be removed from the mob mentality that motivates the less informed among us, even ever so slightly, it is a good thing for America. I like to think it also aids in my vote counting just a wee bit more than others that do not take the democratic process seriously, and the necessity of knowing what is real, which, sadly, there are far too many.

Commented on Some Endorsements MatterJust last night, on local Talk Radio, Amy Kremmer went was employed to attack Joan Perry ad nauseam, while boosting the star of Vidant's own Dr. Greg Murphy.

I am truly sorry to hear this from Diane; someone I unequivocally trust.
Ms. Kremer may mean well, but, to expound upon your works by appropriating the good and better works of others is not only unethical, but fraudulent if you are only selling yourself as the product.

Commented on "Progressiveness" in Beaufort County Government Offers its Citizens Another Rise in TaxesI reckon I employed that whole filming debacle as allegorical to Beaufort County's continual wrong direction in government.
I will be talking about that wrong direction for my remaining time as a county commissioner until it abates.

Selling stupidity is no way to lead by example, which is what every member of congress should at least endeavor to do at the margins of what constitutes a congress person.
AOC must challenge herself to not be so unmitigatedly stupid when informing the public.

Commented on The Jail Hit PieceThey are if you can prove it when there is a quorum (for BC, 4 or more commissioners).
First, the commissioners never meet unless it is 3 or less commissioners, which is okay. If 4 or more meet and discuss any county business, that is illegal. The problem here is that there will be some commissioners, like me and Hood, who, like the public, are in the dark. That is wrong.

Commented on When is it Wrong? When is it Real?It does kind of seem like a Rocky Balboa fight.
Plus, I have no doubt that, as far as lawyers go, Bill Barr is a good man and would probably do the right thing; however, these Democratic Socialist idiots going and supremely pissing the man off may be that insurance policy that the right thing will get done.

Thanks Ted for the review. I saw that Netflix had this documentary on the 29 year old former bartender from Queens, but knowing how stupid AOC is, I could not bring myself to watch it.
This level of stupidity really depresses me.

John Warner's curriculum to engaging young college students to learn how to better write might have some merit.
Students need to use grammar well enough to communicate, and there should be some grading scale to evaluate the students status, but, writing well must come from the heart, and people should say something real when they write. Strict grammarians and most often notoriously terrible, boring writers bent on bad content.

Commented on This Altered Reality is Still No ExcuseRecently, before the reveal of the Mueller investigation, I was engaged by a friendly, but, sadly deranged Democratic Socialist, who asked me in great confidence: "Stan, what would it take for you to finally be done with that sorry excuse for a president, Donald Trump?"
I answered him quickly: "Just two things. First, if the President does not do all within his power to build The Wall, or as much of a wall as he capable of on our Southern Border, for defending the sovereignty of our right to control our borders is paramount. Second, if this President ever stops fighting the Fake News, I will drop him cold; because, I agree with Mr. Trump that "the Fake News is the enemy of the people". Without one smidgen of comment or debate, this friendly Democratic Socialist threw up his hands and walked away. I think that was wise of him - to just walk away.

Commented on I Agree With The Democrats!Now that is rich.
Hick, I agree with the Democrats too ... or: Wasn't Mueller their fair haired boy? I do believe that if Mueller had spent more than about 30 million on this debacle, then the Democrats would have respected him more. Democratic Socialists love to waste the people's money ..."it was never theirs anyway".

Commented on Joe Biden: Space Invader!Bobby Tony, you mix it up well. And we here at BCN are the great beneficiaries. Great picture by the way, I shoot a bunch of images, and I may never shoot one this profound.
Joe would make a terrible president, but, I do respect his flashes of standing up for what should be right - this whole touching thing is far over blown, and do agree with you and Joe on that. Just this weekend, we visited some old friends, and they are a good bit older than my wife and I, so I made sure that I invaded our female friend's personal space, and announced that I just experienced a bidengasm (coined by your truly). She is a full fledged Deplorable, so she well enjoyed the invasion.
