In regards to AG Holder continuing his 15 month investigation in the George Zimmerman incident to determine whether he violated the late Trayvon Martin's civil rights, I still contend: If Trayvon wanted to inflict such a "beat down" on this overly curious doughy Hispanic man with a Jewish sir-name, he should have disarmed him first.

The first rule of martial arts training is to never use your skills to fight someone unless you are called to defend yourself, or someone else, from a menacing force. The second rule is to first take away their weapon.

Trayvon should have first taken away Zimmerman's weapon, and if he did not feel capable of doing so, he should have run like the wind.

I mean, how fast could a doughy Hispanic man with a Jewish sir-name be?

I almost always know the solution before I write that there is a problem. In fact, I expressed the solution in this post.

In today's America, the great racists are those that cry racist.

Well, my record is to spend smart money on narcotics interdiction, and I expect the Sheriff to continue to keep busting those who are involved with the illicit trade.

I despise narcotics and the stupidity that is so overwhelming by its users.

But two things you have to know: the Zimmerman case does not effect any of this, and I am not responsible for the streets of Washington, I only set policy for the funding of a sheriff that is only partly responsible for these societal ills.

The Sheriff, and I may not agree on everything, but the sheriff's dept. does a good job of busting the perpetrators of these evil tools.

Please comment if you have any ideas to support this initiative, or if you wish to defend the contrary position.

This is such a rant, and it is Father's Day, so I deserve to just "get this off my chest." The real meat will come in the succeeding posts.

My apologies to the first 72 viewers that read this informative article from the Beaufort Observer over the last 4 hours. I uploaded this article before I left for Raleigh, and have just now noticed that I uploaded the videos incorrectly. Now they are corrected.

Since I was a young child, I have been exposed to the Reverend Billy Graham, especially when spending time with my grandmother, Ida Mae Dunn and her husband, Stanhope Dunn.

I have always been aware of the man's presence as a great evangelist, and as I grow older, the man's profound sincerity.

May God bless Billy Graham for we all have long been blessed by his beautiful spirit.

At one point this morning, the poll showed the special interest advocates up by 2% over the principled Republicans, and now the principled Republicans are up by over 9% points over the avowed special interest wonks. 9% is a big jump when there are this many votes - more than double the total of the next highest subscribed poll in BCN's short history of providing a polling service.

Good work real Republicans, but ... don't let up.

The RINOs are organizing, but they will not win Beaufort County's Republican Party without a fight.

The poll will be available for all to vote their convictions through the Beaufort County Republican Convention on March 26.

I'm not following your thinking.

We do pretty well in our linking, as we did in this article.

Lisa, you know and understand the essence of my plan.

Also, there is the promotion component and that is complicated, pseudo proprietary for our capabilities at SNI, but the crux of the Turnage is that it must be used, enjoyed.

The Turnage must be for everyone, and I know who those people are, and what kinds of music they enjoy and how to recruit the talent at a reasonable price. That actually ties back into what I can do for them on the net, a variable that others naturally struggle with.

Charles, my plan supports many partners with many talents coming together to save a landmark, make money and have fun doing it.

Not everyone has to have large sums of "skin in the game", even I don't want too vested; however, I want to be in it enough to push the plan through, and deal with the certain egos that come with some money.

Ego is a wonderful thing. Someone, like me, needs a certain sense of self, or they would have a hard time suiting up every day to deal with complex issues with the certain detractors who haven't a clue; however, I do realize that there are some who have an overextended sense of self, irrespective of whatever success they may have enjoyed.

The building, the hope, the promise, and the fun of the Turnage can be saved, but egos will have to be checked at the door, and my ideas will need to fully implemented for this plan to work.

There is one necessity, however: No government involvement at any level. My history is that government is not qualified to make good decisions. Not enough good, honest, sensible politicians - not by half.

Just not by any government entity, or by some "nonprofit" sucking on the public teat.

Certainly the City of Washington is not capable since they have long been managerially challenged. This lost bunch make the Beaufort County Commissioners look like geniuses by relative comparison, and who would have ever thought that could be possible.

However, after all said here, I actually have a foolproof plan on how to save the Turnage, and trust me on this one point, it requires no government assistance with those nasty, stupid strings attached. In fact, I may be the only uniquely qualified individual around these parts to have the potential to accomplish such, or ... whoever does attempt this quixotic quest will eventually, or better - very quickly - need my group's unique abilities ... if they are smart ... but then again, when has smart ever mattered when putting together a long term plan to purposefully effect real change around here. With the foreseeable challenges on the near horizon, it just matters very much now to be smarter - way smarter. I'm betting heavily on this.

If anyone is interested, you can contact me, but since this does not pertain to any of my jobs that I am already paid for, you better be serious, and you best bring money or know where to get some ... fast.

Remember this one truth: The Turnage Theater can be saved for, pretty much, ever, but it will require no government assistance, and complete thinking "outside of the box," which is not a very popular thing to do around here.

You qualified to do so?

Remarkably, I have just read and heard today commentary on the "low-info voter," and how this is the new wave of wannabe cool voters that make up much of the Democrat ranks that keep all of the "brain surgeons," like Candidate Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Vice-candidate Joe Biden in leadership roles running our nation to ruin.

I had no idea that this was a class of Democrat that was being managed for votes at election time.

One learns something new every day. The "low-info voter." Kind of has a ring to it.

At that same NACo conference in 2010, where then Speaker Pelosi made her now infamous comment of passing the unread ObamaCare, I spoke with a group of "African America" and Democrat county commissioners (some from north Carolina) about the illogical healthcare legislation, and, moreover, the poorly crafted Stimulus that had recently passed, asking: Just what kind of world are we leaving our grandchildren?

The entire group of like-minded aforementioned county commissioners answered me: "I don't care about the grandchildren, I care about providing for my people now, and President Obama is going to make that happen now."

Obviously, "The Math' did not matter with these elected leaders of like-minded ambitions. so I ask: Why do Democrats not care about their nation's fiscal health?
