Thinking about the County Commission and the School Board: In Beaufort County there is surely a Gang of Five. There also seems to be a Gang of Six. On some issues the gangs merge into a Gang of Eleven. All the Democrats are on this Gang of Eleven, but that only totals four. The rest are Republicans. RINO rich indeed.

About the school vandalism issue: On that one I think Bob is on the right track, although I'm sure I do not see it as the racial issue that he probably does.

Unlike most folks Trump has actually been under fire - literally. For all to see, he behaved courageously.

Kamala Harris had to work hard to find a running mate as radical as she is. She hit the jackpot with Tim Walz.

Most veterans do not see it Bee Bob's way.

Bob really said, "trumps worse"? Firstly, that's not a literate phrase. Secondly, it's nonsensical. It is a glaring example of TDS. A mental health professional may be able to help with the Trump Derangement Syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder issues. A 20th century English book will be needed for help with correct sentence, phrase and word structure.

Mediocre soldiers like Tim Walz earn the contempt of real veterans when they embellish their records and the details of their service in order to benefit themselves politically. Stolen valor is an act only worthy of shame. To real soldiers there is no cause worthy of stolen valor. When they do it, they dishonor men and women who are worthy of real valor.

"Woke" Olympics insulting me and my friends, progressive policies causing my grocery cart to be half as full for the same price as full, and that's supposed to be OK. Then these progressive twits call me weird for not prioritizing their "melting planet" craziness. That's looney even for them.

I said, "One person does give Kamala high marks: Ex San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. Willie's wife. That's another matter." Literate people can decide.

For those wanting more details, check out what Judge Joe Brown has to say about Ms. Harris' political career in California as well as her time at Howard. Judge Brown is closer to the primary sources than I am, and he says it in more plain-spoken language than I did.

Checkmate again, Bobbie.

Speaking of weird: It's hard to get by the picture. A white woman pretending to be an Indian (Native American) and a mostly Indian (Asian) woman pretending to be an African American. Only in America.

That's nothing in the present-day Democrat party where grown men can pretend to be girls at the expense of girls. In modern America the Coo Coo nest extends from sea to shining sea, and the Democrats want to make illegal aliens citizens at the expense of real U.S. citizens. The freak show is one thing, but having to pay for it is another. I'm tired of getting dumped on by these sick weirdos.

Just think. The tripe Bob is slinging is actually what Kamela Harris is running on. How crazy is that?

No Bob. I made reference to Willie Brown. You made the other references. Thanks?

It is comical how hard the stateside corporate media is trying to project enough excitement to create some kind of Kamala Harris wave. Watching Chuck Shumer seal clapping to himself in front of drooling MSM is a bizarre sight. Remember Kamala Harris is still the same candidate Tulsi Gabbard obliterated from a primary in one exchange.

It's not often that I agree with the Marxist group BLM, but they are right about this. The Democratic Party has already been on shaky ground with their rigged primary system using the superdelegates for quite some time. They've upped the ante this year and showed how fickle and abrupt their king making can be with the recent palace coup. They give lip service to being the party of the people, but they are not even pretending well anymore. Aw shucks. Why even have a primary at all.

Going down this rabbit hole has been surreal. I don't know most of the "characters" on this board unless they specifically identify themselves. I don't know if I know anybody on the BC Repub Executive Committee except by reputation. That said, these fake characters with the personal issues overriding all local politics are fairly easy to identify. I mean, how many Philly Pandas on the exec committee that hate local conservatives can be in these parts?

Also, I've looked into this "minion" bull crap because I live in one of the districts in question. Turns out one of them barely knows the exec committee's supposed boogieman, one of them runs into the "boogieman" at a meeting once and a while and the other one pretty much knows everybody in Beaufort County. I told MY rep to keep doing what he's doing.

And who is this "boogieman"? He is the longest serving public servant in Beaufort County and he's a Republican. Why is the Repub Exec Committee at war with him?

It seems like the BC Repub Exec Committee is more of a petty clique than an organization working for the good of the community at large.

The personal hate within the BC Repub Party outweighs all issues.
I used to think people were joshing around with me, but it's true: The BC Repub Party really is aligned with Big Bob the progressive and really does hate almost 50% of local Republican office holders way, way more than Democrats! No good can come from an organization this toxic.

It appears racism is so fundamental to modern progressivism that they just cannot NOT be a racist. That's why many of us do not want this warped DEI thinking being pushed down our kid's throats.

If folks like B Bob are this guilt ridden maybe they should give to charity or something. Further, counselling may be necessary. Find a pastor, priest, rabbi, shaman, or perhaps a psychiatrist for help.

I'm sorry folks like BB grew up in such a mixed-up environment. I'm thankful I didn't grow up in a racist household.
