Kidwell is Audi 5000 and he knows it; so does his small but dedicated fan club. His treatment of the public on his own "home" turf and the Robinson 2.0 Abortion (with NO exceptions for r@pe and/or incest) stunt he pulled last year did him in with those who hold the pocketbook. We won't go into his verbal sparring match with a group of guys who were boots on the ground at J6....that's another story.

If Armstrong gets in and screws up, he too will be in the same boat as Kidwell.

As indicated in the article posted yesterday, both Democrats AND Republicans rely on the Unaffiliated vote to win the public poll; Kidwell doesn't appeal to those who know what time it is.

I don't want him in Raleigh and I damn sure don't want him running the Beaufort County GOP in any position.

Unca Hood grand slammed this one out of the park; he's way ahead of 3/4's of the MAGA and Mainline GOP "boomers and doomers".....light-years ahead on this one.

There are certain "Republicans" who have used the cover of MAGA, both mainline and "underground", in an attempt to keep themselves in office..... unopposed. The remaining voters and HONEST elected officials who know the playbook of these B-movie actors are holding feet to the fire and ain't backing off until a "first down" is achieved. Even then, you have to keep gaining yards on the field; complacency leads to despotism.

The 2026 midterms are going to, I believe, be one of the biggest wild card ACTUAL upsets we've seen in politics, especially NC politics, yet. You can best believe that North Carolina and other key swing states are being watched closely by the Trump team; Kidwell and others know this.

As we've said previously: "Politics as usual" ain't cutting it anymore and people are doing their homework.

SD: I agree; there has to be a separation of powers AS WELL AS an internal system of checks and balances.....with adequate oversight.

Other than on this publication, the Mr. & Mrs. John Q. Public's of the GOP seem to be unaware of the friggin' lunacy they're paying for....that's a major problem. They're either apathetic OR they're getting smoke blown up somewhere by someone to keep them purposely unaware.

Sooner than later, the public needs to start turning up the heat and asking questions. I've already been told that Kidwell refuses to talk to anyone but HIS "Republicans" and that anyone who disagrees with him is considered a "plant".

The Emperor doesn't like it when people realize he ain't got no clothes on.

Fritz mentioned a couple of things that grabbed my attention:

1. Building Schools

The CITY is going to build new schools? I would think that would be a County endeavor; Are we going back to a "Washington City Schools" scenario?

People don't want another Washington Montessori or Terra Ceia Christian School; they want community charter schools, like BGCS, throughout the County so they DON'T have to come all the way to Washington.

2. Bringing in land developers

There has been a noticable population decrease since 2020. People are either dying or leaving the County due to sub-par education, insane real estate prices (controlled by the school board), lack of industry and idiotic politics. Houses aren't flying off the market...unless you're a rich Yankee moving down here to retire in what's become known as a "Death Community". I'm not understanding the "glitter appeal" of living in overpriced homes stacked on top of each other.

3. The New Mayor

TBA...

I second the "Stan Deatherage Declaration" and also agree that it is, in fact, inarguable to the common sense thinker.

There IS a conspiracy, within the County GOP, to usurp and abuse positions of power through complete disregard, or "misinterpretation", of SOPs that should be common knowledge.

Something ain't right and the Black Hats are trying to leave Dodge....with our money!

The GOP is eating itself alive and MAGA ain't quite got the horsepower it used to have; I hate to say it but it's an undeniable truth. People aren't as clueless as they were in 2016.

Current "MAGA" Republicans, those who hotdogged it through the "Election Integrity" farce and played along with the "BIDEN is a legitimate President" script, are in a very tight spot with the remaining voters come primary time.

The "old guard" mentality of conducting conservative political strategy has led to several disastrous high profile fumbles that ended campaigns overnight. The turd that Robinson started never stopped rolling downhill; they wanted you to forget it was there.

There has to be a "come to Jesus" but the odds of that happening look slim at the present. They would rather go down with the ship than face intelligent public questioning. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them was to get on TV and sound completely cookoo for CoCo Puffs....something that makes absolutely no sense.

To quote producer Rick Beato: "Pick up an instrument and learn how to play it. Create, explore and own the rights to your music. With AI, you don't own the rights to your music; it becomes public domain."

There's good and bad in everything BUT AI, being the archaic structure that it is, must remain highly regulated and restricted. If unleashed and used by the general public for everyday life, history is doomed to repeat itself.........again.

There are still idiots advocating for the "advancement" of AI but it hasn't gained the traction they, the "powers that be", thought it would. On one end of the spectrum, AI hasn't been warmly accepted. On the other end, "The Terminator" and "RoboCop" ain't that far off.

Washingtonian: I had heard about "The Daily News" article from some friends but hadn't read it until you shared it here; thank you.

The picture TDN posted in the article is very interesting: the body language of those pictured should be taken note of; there's lots of fun to be had in deciphering that Kodak moment.

Tyre, Ol' Franz and Brabo are the public faces now involved in one helluva political Mexican standoff that everyone's watching. Even the distraction of Dominic Connelly isn't pulling people away from what's going on in City politics.

This is like some s*** from Robocop; you can't make it up.

Btw, I'd be willin' to bet money that both Kidwell and Cheeseman are watching this with puckered dukes....if this IS legit and not just Kabuki theater.

We shall see......stay tuned
Commented: Sunday, December 14th, 2025 @ 6:10 pm By: John Valley
Washingtonian, I also strongly doubt that the old boss will ACTUALLY be sued by the new boss; it seems like window dressing. I'm on the fence about Brabo but I find it very interesting that no one has refuted the city being in the red; that is very telling.

If the City is broke, the County ain't too behind. With rampant fraud being discovered all around us, I don't think it would be too far fetched to surmise that the taxpayer has been royally screwed over and exploited by the "powers that be".

The question is: Where?

I think Fritz is onto something
Commented: Saturday, December 13th, 2025 @ 7:26 pm By: John Valley
I strongly urge members of the Executive Committee to please consider holding an emergency meeting to address issues of unauthorized financial transactions and party disloyalty. "Infighting" is what they want and we ain't giving it to 'em. If they want to be stupid, they've got to be tough.

There is substantial probable cause to be bring up charges on both accounts of what I've listed above. The shenaniganry can stop and will stop if the people continue to find out what these sick bastards have done with OUR money.

The people have a right to know what's being done and has been done with their money. There's a problem when the people CAN'T find out what's been done with their money.

Wasn't this dude a player in "Davisgate"?

He's also the wizard who wanted to put "Surrender boxes" at WHS, if I remember correctly.

Republicans better start remembering "things" and asking hard questions to those running for office; "politics as usual" don't cut it anymore.

Commented on As the screws turn

The title of this article should be:

"As the screws loosen"

As the common sense reader can tell, there have always been a few screws loose within the NC Methodist Conference. Between 2015-2020, the Conference began fuel-injecting Progressive politics into the church.....and eventually caused a complete separation of rural congregations/districts.

Noone should rely on the Independent vote to secure an election, think about that one, BUT, from what I've noticed over the years, Independent voters tend to lean more conservative in key age groups. Her logic is both flawed and desperate.

Through her political and ideological retardation, Lib has shown us the playbook of BOTH the looney left and the RINO right. They BOTH go by the public script and BOTH never deviate from it; they can't look "in-between" and connect the dots.

If you really want to see how close THOSE people go by THE script, engage them about why THEY think MTG announced resignation. I guarantee you they'll dance it.

Ladies and gentleman, do you remember the 94,000 votes allegedly found in a "broom closet", in either Durham or Orange County, on Election Night 2016?

THIS is all Cooper, Stein and the globalist NC WEF operatives who play both sides. If this audit continues, I think you're going to see certain Republicans start getting nervous. The NCDHHS and the State board of elections have more in common than most think😎.

Hell, I know one guy, in Pitt County, who found out that his deceased grandmother of 12 years had an address and was registered as a Democrat on 4th street in Greenville.

Filed a complaint with the county...nothing. Called the state....nothing.

I've got a feeling that DAVE is just getting started and he's coming to a County near us.

Commented on ICE Capades

I respect Mr. Campbell's overall message acknowledging a very important issue that exists within a portion of the GOP.....blind obedience.

While I believe that the media is spinning everything towards a "chaos" narrative, I have also seen many aging conservatives buy into the public script and look at those of us who ask questions, as they once did, like thorns in their retirement plan.

Folks need to look much deeper than "ICEcapades" and look at what it's being used to distract them from here and abroad. You've got some countries doing whatever the hell they want WITHOUT question being touted as the "good guys" and then others, who are ACTUALLY good guys, are demonized by Western Media.

Nobody's talking about the Nordic Countries, primarily Sweden, have had enough of the "refugees" and want them out. I wonder why?
Commented: Saturday, November 29th, 2025 @ 10:21 am By: John Valley
The New Majority should always remember that we don't want Washington turning into Greenville and that we don't want globalist politics, of any kind, in any form of our government. We want our taxes low and our culture left alone.

They, TNM, have Farrahkrat opposition BUT, in time, the opposition will take care of itself. The good Washingtonians have come together to make a statement and it's been heard across the board.

At some point in time, the "Beaufort County" comes out in people and it gets folks' attention. It knows no skin color; it comes down to situational awareness and common sense.

CV: I think we can all agree that this thing has turned into a good old-fashioned "cluster". In my opinion, a future political timeline of the GOP railroaded after J6; younger people, now closing in on "middle-aged", who were involved in the Trump-McCrory era of the NC Grassroots GOP began withdrawing from the party after elected Republican officials began avoiding questions on "Election Integrity" with Trump in '20 and McCrory in '16.

The message now is the same as it was back then: We're screwed either way BUT...how CAN WE get on top of this thing AND assume reasonable control? If we had the approval of the Executive Committee, considering the technology and grade of smarta**es we have at our disposal lol, this could be fun actually.

Blend the old with the new; it'd be great comedy and fully approved😎.

Every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man!
Commented: Thursday, November 27th, 2025 @ 8:05 am By: John Valley
I don't agree with the philosophies of State politics outweighing local politics and supporting someone, like Kidwell, just because the "Berger Boys" or whoever's boys are going after him. The days of pullin' fer somebody "just because they's Republican" has gotten us a**holes like Kidwell....and he knows it. His career thrives on the uniformed continually doing this over and over again.

The younger-middle aged conservative will not put up with some of the crap the older heads keep trying to pull because they view ANY kind of change as bad. Trump is finding this out, and others will too if they keep trying to play "politics as usual."

This upcoming cycle is going to be a huge indicator of the discourse within the GOP if we don't start putting foot to ass and holding people accountable.

I find it very alarming that our Executive Committee is in the dark. That ain't good.
Commented: Wednesday, November 26th, 2025 @ 4:16 pm By: John Valley
The media, for the most part, will not touch why MTG has caught a lot of flak from Trump; they don't have the sack to do so because of WHO owns them.

Are they going to bump her off, like they did Charlie Kirk, for speaking out against what Netanyahu/Is-RA-EL?

If this isn't being done for "optics", Trump is REALLY playing a bad hand here. As I've said previously, I tend to like Ol' Unca Donnie T BUT rolling out the red carpet for Netanyahu doesn't sit well with me.....unless things are not what they "appear" to be.

I think we're playing Blackjack in 10K definition, folks. This is either one of two things....and I hope it ain't the second one.

RoadKill: I'm picking up what you're putting down, Bruh; What you said IS Kidwell to the effing T!

I don't care if the man parted Sharon Harris for the Israelites to cross, there'd be a motive behind it AND it would be sold as HIM, being the good guy, trying to help the oppressed.....when it's actually a production that both Kidwell and the "Israelites" planned to blow smoke up the ass of remaining uniformed voter AND those in Rale....the Neo-Roman State House/Senate OCCUPYING Raleigh.

There is a disconnect between Raleigh and the "bothersome humans" everywhere else. Raleigh is the new Rome and as the late Michael Jackson once said: "they don't care about us."

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out. I don't know why some can't shake the dirt off and call these things out for what they are, man...its mind boggling.

RoadKill Part 2: From a business and financial viewpoint, the REAL politics of Kidwell and others have actually prevented business owners from investing locally.

A smart business mind would invest in an area that has their s*** together and can talk to anyone who sensibly comes to the table with an "out of the box" approach. He wouldn't invest in an area where you've got B-movie actors trying to play "grab-ayse" and move up in LOCAL politics.

Why do we have elected STATE officials obsessed with dominating a LOCAL COUNTY GOP? Is Raleigh not a big enough conquest? I think the guy out there at the flea market, who sells Savane 52x23 (The Keith Kidwell Collection) pants, has withdrawal support and moved on to another spot.

We'll see.

Steed: I trust no politician of any kind as....they're politicians; they're skilled at selling you one left shoe for the price of two and convincing you that "it's for your own good."

Both Berger and Kidwell need to go Audi 5000; they are perfect examples of what's wrong with the GOP. Both of them think they know everything when, in fact, they are the biggest bull**** artists this side of Raleigh. If Kidwell is playing a big part in trying to bend the County GOP to accommodate his agenda, why is he really doing it?

Does he know, in the back of his mind, that his time in Raleigh is coming to an end? If he treats people in Raleigh like he treats people here in BOCO, he's not the champion that some of these Boomers portray him to be.

Give him five minutes, in a Q&A, with the right "one"; he'd start short circuiting and claim that he's being set up by the democrats....typical Kidwellism when he's being hammered and there's no way out.

Ain't it funny how Garris put the hit out on "Little" (that is not meant with disrespect; His pops was Mr. Joe/"Big" Joe) Joe Davis but came swooping in to stand behind Brabo?

I think the Executive Committee should hold a meeting, ask hard questions and demand accountability. There are MANY instances that we could list here but....I think many of y'all get the picture.

I wonder how Kidwell will try to weasel out of this one? I wonder if he CAN weasel his way out of this one? I smell some big charges.

Speaking of Uncle Frankie, has anybody heard anything about the megaschools?

I haven't heard a peep from anyone of position, have y'all?

There're "rumblings" that the Greater BOCO Metropolis project may have run into issues and that there's a damage control plan being rolled around. Again, this isn't coming from me; this is coming from what I've heard in talking with people who have a good pulse on things throughout the county.

When Unca Stan, point blank, asked Randy Walker about the current numbers of enrollment some months back, Randy spouted off that "test scores are better than ever and people are coming to Beaufort County."

I think there's some truth to these "rumblings" and they might have some connection to why Uncle Frankie is allegedly not running next time around.

We'll see.......

VZ: Since 2020, there have been several interesting conversations among "Clint Eastwood" conservative-minded thinkers pertaining to the core problems of the current GOP and how it was being hijacked.

One issue that many "modern conservatives" shy away from discussing is the local implementation of globalist politics and how it effects the surrounding communities. Handlers get real nervous when regional parties start talking about related Geopolitical matters.

Remember....US politicians can most definitely get donations from the WEF. A turd rolls downhill.
Commented: Friday, November 14th, 2025 @ 5:32 pm By: John Valley
Part 2 (more restrained and professional):

The underlying problem that permeates through the turd tossing, that is sometimes very hard to NOT engage in, is the witch-hunt against "native" conservatives who tell it like it is regardless of who is involved. If you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.

All politics are local; the same clownshow that's happening HERE against native common sense conservatives who want to reign in the outside stupidity and cut out the middle man is happening EVERYWHERE there's people of a community with common sense.

Jesus on a bicycle, folks; what the hell does "illegal immigration" have to do with the housing market? This is the distractionary stupidity that takes people away from the meat and potatoes of any issue....divide, conquer and distract.

While I'm on the issue of "stupid", I wonder what up and coming "conservatives" like Mr. Garrison think about 50 year mortgages and the insanely stupid comment Vance made the other day?

Befuddled: Kidwell needs to go Audi 5000 and fade into obscurity like Mark Robinson has. I don't understand (I actually do understand) how he keeps "winning re-election" when many common sense conservatives cannot stand him. Either it's rigged OR somebody's got a few tapes of the ol' Karpetbagger with his name in sharpie across the top.

JS: Kidwell IS NOT a strong conservative leader in the NC House; He's a legend in his own mind and not even a native of NC. Everyone knows he's an a-hole but yet some in this area still vote for him because......he's got an "R" by his name. THAT's the biggest problem; people who still think that the GOP does no wrong and that the two-party system is legit.

Well......another "conspiracy theory" has been proven to be true: Garrison and others are being groomed and told what to say in an effort to create a County Cabal where common sense conservatives are non-existent and blind obedience is required.

The current regime doesn't like strong personalities and out of the box thinking....which is a far detachment from the Trump-era of Conservatism....ideals of Conservatism that they, the County GOP, CLAIM to support.

Intelligent people, such as Mr. Hickman and Mrs. Stacey Davis, are seen as "troublemakers" because they DO NOT follow the mob mentality; they ask hard questions AND have "boots on the ground" experience.

They didn't come from the GOP "Belk ad" test tube like so many in the GOP seem to come from.

For the record....just because you've lived in Cypress Landing for 15 years and have several extra stacks of Yankee money at your disposal doesn't qualify nor guarantee one admittance into local leadership.

If anything, one would be further questioned if they came to a Confederate State with their Northern politics and all their worthless Yankee money to "invest" do they can ultimately come down here to screw up our way of life and then die.

They leave us holding the bag.

It's a simple fix. They can go back to where they came from and deal with the crap they created. We didn't need them before, we don't need them now.

Both the left corner and the right corner are using the same strategy; it's just being SOLD with different packaging. Hmmmm....what have we just seen, many times over, HERE?

Native family representatives are going to have to get involved, in some capacity, to demand accountability and change for this problem to be corrected. The County GOP shall "Make BOCO Great Again" by removing and barring any outside alien from local leadership until proven to have a genuine knowledge of local culture, bull**** and etc.

Van Zant: I think that Ol' Karpetbagger Kidwell and Varcoe (both are Yankees) are trying to oust ANY Conservative mind who calls them out on their bulls***; Garris is the public face AND the distraction.

Both Kidwell and his handler, Varcoe, have a proven history of dodging direct questioning and abruptly leaving meetings when "We, The People" hold their feet to the fire. Many have seen this and know these truths to be evident BUT, mysteriously, he is always "reelected"?

With that being said, I think the most recent botched hitjob on Mrs. Davis has guaranteed incoming napalm strikes on those who sought to turn the public opinion against her and others who share her scope of view.

Kidwell, Varcoe and Garris have stupidly declared war on common sense conservatives who think outside of the box....the very people they CLAIM themselves to be. These are the idiots who sank Atlantis into the Heavens....they never learn.

Is the Executive Committee actively recruiting strategic minds?
Commented: Friday, November 7th, 2025 @ 8:25 am By: John Valley
Befuddled: Garris calling for the resignation of Donald Sadler was a test....that's all I'll say. The whole Brabo controlled op was and is, in fact, a controlled op. You never forget someone who refuses the olive branch......Trump Strategy 101. It's my opinion that Brabo controls, by proxy, a majority of the Big 5 but that's another story.

Davisgate was an attempted hitjob by a contingency of the GOP who hates Trump Conservatism across the board. Kidwell and Garris don't have the brainpower to spearhead such an operation; they're near sighted opportunists that don't understand "The Art of The Deal".

I don't know enough about the O'Neal incident to comment on it.

Million Dollar question: Is the County Manager planning to install Brabo and those she may/may not control after Uncle Donnie's term runs out?

Brabo obviously doesn't like the terms:"Farrahkrats" and "Gestapo". The truth speaks for itself. Will any of this transpire or will I look like I'm batsh** crazy?

I'll bet a mark..
Commented: Saturday, October 4th, 2025 @ 8:56 pm By: John Valley
Befuddled: Those are great questions. Considering how some don't do their homework, I be willing to "bet a mark" that Kidwell didn't call Miss Davis to get he skinny on what went down; his "people" skills are extremely lacking and he doesn't handle pressure well.

From my view, it would serve Miss Davis no purpose to contact Kidwell. He'd be made a bigger example of, in the public eye, if he fell on his own sword and continually drove it in deeper. Has he issued an apology for his diarrhea of the mouth?....he hasn't, to my knowledge.

What happened here was a botched hitjob, by the GOP, against a conservative lady who has put heat on the school board's ass......a very stupid and counterproductive move to the development of Trump-era Conservatism within the GOP.

Garris needs to resign or make a public apology to Miss Davis.... personally. If she doesn't handle this properly, her political ambitions may be short-lived if common sense voters put two and two together.

Kidwell ..same.
