The only ones who see "nazis" in Ukraine are Putin and his backers. That corrupt pro-Russian Ukrainian president was not "overthrown" by "nazis". He was impeached and removed from office by unanimous vote of the Ukrainian parliament. Seeing the handwriting on the wall, the corrupt president had fled the country the night before. Ukraine's gold reserves fled the country at the same time and have not been seen since. Reputedly they are in exile in Russia where the impeached president also went.

Sometimes Bobbie is particularly stupid. Americans expect a non-political FBI. Obama threough Holder made it political and Biden is making it more so. American needs tp replace the badly tainted FBI with a new, non-political law enforcement agency constructed in a way to make it difficult to politicize.

Bobbie, those bizarre rants show you really do need to see a mental health professional.

Cult? You, Bobbie, are in the biggest doomsday cult in history, the climate alarmist cult, as well as being a supporter of another cult that is a threat to freedom, globalism. I am a Reagan / Helms conservative who originally supported Ted Cruz for president, but Trump did a fine job as president and Biden is downright awful. Trump is a sovereigntist, as I am, while Biden is a full blown globalist. Policies matter, NOT personalities.

Bobbie's definition of the word "true" is like that of the old Soviet Union he loves. If it fits their narrative and agenda, it is "true" and if it refutes their narrative and agenda, they claim it is not. Readers of this site have been onto Bobbie for a long time on that. The far left fool never even tries to post anything that would question what he claims is not true, just makes a stupid blanket denial.

Hunter Biden always had a get out of jail free card with the Biden DOJ. They were not going to prosecute him for anything until the IRS whistleblowers came forward and exposed the corruption in Bidenworld relative to Hunter. Then they refused to move on the most serious cases, the tax evasion during the years of the Burisma deal, which could have also implicated Joe, and the failure to register as a foreign agent, until the statute of limitations ran and he was home free on those charges. Then they tried a sweetheart deal, that an ordinary citizen not named Biden would have never gotten. A conscientious judge, to her credit, cried foul on that, and they were then forced to try him on the gun charges and the least serious of the tax charges, the only one the statute of limitations was not allowed to run out on. So the Biden DOJ manipulation has saved Hunter from the most serious charges that he should have been charged with. How often does the government just let it slide when someone does not file or pay taxes on millions of dollars in income?

And, Van Zant, yahoonews has indeed become a cult. I sometimes wonder if it is being edited in Red China or North Korea it is so bad. I quit using yahoomail when yahoonews dropped way off the left end of the spectrum.

Little Boobbie wouldn't recognize a fact if one jumped up and bit him on the ass. In his Orwellian tunnel vision, a "fact" is something that corresponds with the far left narrative. To him, if it does not correspond to that ideological worldview it is "misinformation". That is how most of the leftist lemmings like Bobbie think.

no, you don't, Bobbie. If a staff member gave a key, it is highly unlikely they did it knowing that this damage was intended, but even so they would have culpability because they should not have given a key to a student. If Cheeseman's looking into the matter has led him to know of beleive where the key came from, that person may also be someone Cheeseman wants to cover up for if they are his buddy.

Will - All it takes is one entry point if someone has the key.

Can't you even read, Bozo Bob? The Superintendant is involved in the COVERUP, not the actual vandalism itself. He had to sign off on doing nothing significant in response to the vandalism. The principle could not have done that on his own.

Playing the race card again there, Bobbie? Everything to you is about race, including your shoot-from-the-hip racial profiling here.

When it comes to racial profiling, this funny video says it all:

It really does not matter who they are. Cheseman could be protecting anybody. Whoever they are, they need to pay for what they did.

This is nothing short of a coverup by Cheeseman, and he should be fired for it, and the $15,000 taken out of HIS paycheck. If these were graduating seniors, they were likely 18 and should be prosecuted as adults. If CHeeseman does not make a full public report, then the school board needs to force him to do so.

The 57 should have been called in and forced to clean it up and pay their share of damages at the very least, but none of that was done. So what they could not walk across the stage? That is no punishment.

They also need to get someone to fess up to providing the key and that person needs to be fired. Put all possible staff suspects on a polygraph if necessary.

Being paid to give speeches was EXACTLY how the Clinton Crime Family grift worked. Liberal putlishers paying huge advances for books has been a gambit for grift for years, too, as has people buying huge quantities of such books so that the writer makes money.

Bigot Bob is just engaged in more of that high tech lynching of a black man he finds "uppity". One thing the far left has never been able to stand is a black man who thinks for himself and takes conservative positions. They want them all to stay on the Democrat plantation.

PJJ, I think this new school boondoggle may be a "bright and shiny object" to try to distract from the school system's huge failures in educating our children as shown by so many low scores by Beaufort County schools, and particularly in Washington on the state standardized tests. That has nothing to do with buildings and everything to do with a subpar curriculum. The school board members up this year are nothing but rubberstamps for our liberal superintendant. The tail is wagging the dog, and that is where the problem lies.

It is very noticable that local young people working as cashiers have a hard time making change correctly. Their math skills have been degraded by Common Core math, yet Cheeseman's appointees proposed, and his school board sock puppets rubberstamped a woke new math curriculum last year based on, you guessed it, Common Core. One of his top staff even tried to lie to the new conservative school board minority to say that the curriculum was not Common Core, but confronted with the evidence had to backtrack and admit that it was. The rubberstamp school board majority approved it anyway.

Another example is cursive writing which state law requires schools to teach but it is a hit and miss proposition here in Beaufort County. I have talked to a number of parents who complain that their children have not been taught cursive. One mentioned going to a restaurant out of town where the menu was in cursive, and his children who had gone to Beaufort County Schools could not read it. It might as well have been written in Greek.

Beaufort County Schools are failing our students in curriculum, NOT in buildings.

I agree that this would be a strange position for someone actually from Bath. All of the money is being spent in a different school attendance district, not Bath, as has been pointed out. But there is also another reason. This is a school consolidation, and the parents in the old Bath High School district were up in arms when their high school was consolidated with Belhaven and Pantego some years ago. I know people who graduated from the old Bath High School and who think the education their children or grandchildren receive or received at consolidated notheastern high school is much inferior to what they received as studants at Bath High School. For multiple reasons, this poster takes very unusual positions for someone who actually was from Bath.

While there are some arguments in consolidating high schools such as being able to offer more subjects, those do not hold true for consolidating elementary schools into a mega-school. At that level, it is just nuts.

Every bit of it is true, Bolshevik Bob, and that is why this abuse of our courts for political purposes is such a threat to our democracy. It is just like Stalin, Putin, Hitler, Maduro, Xi, or you name the dictator.

As usual, Marxist internet troll Bolshevik Bob uses an Orwellian Newspeak definition of the word "true". When he uses it, "true" means "consistent with the far left narrative."

Bobbie is off in far left smear la-la land. Nobody "owns" a supreme court justice.

The guy who had a massive conflict of interest was Juan Merchan, and the Democrats were fine with that because he was a political contributor to them, even though New York ethics standards said judges are not supposed to make political contributions, and Merchan's daughter was one of their political consultants.

The big problem here is total lack of transparency in planning, which has long been a problem with our school board, even pre-dating Cheeseman. Like the last round of school building, this one was concocted in the backroom without public input or outside expert input. For example, did the Washington attendance area have the biggest need, and if it did was this the best location within that attendance area for a school? If memory serves, it seems there have been statements in the past that Washington's growth was projected to be mostly to the west, so would that be the most efficient place to put a new school?

The school board never held any public hearings either to determine needs or to get public input after the plan was conceived. Cheeseman and T.W. Allen clearly want to keep the public in the dark and reserve all power to themselves. That is not the way that government agencies should be run.

Once the school board achieves a majority that is not under Cheeseman's thumb, one of the things they need to do is put together a long range facilities plan, based on input from experts on things like population projections and on public input from the citizens of the county. Government should be conducted in the sunshine and not in secretive smoke-filled rooms.
