Washingtonian: I will admit, we need to reimagine government to become, in some ways, what it use to be.

I will see Nick tomorrow night; I shall speak with him.

Two women in this congressional hearing, both from the same state; one is intelligent and wise, the other is not. One is a Non Patriot Leftist, the other is not.

One is a Republican and younger, the other is a Democratic Socialist and older; can you figure whom is which?

Can you believe that the state of New York can elect both of these women during these same days of evil and chronic abject stupidity?

The answer: This is New York state, and because of New York City politics, which is ongoing due to both some of the most dishonest, and very stupid voters, New York States is now considered one of the most corrupt states in the USA.

And yes, Governor Kathy Hochul, D, a Non Patriot Leftist, is categorically a corrupt idiot of grand renown.

The other woman, wise Representative, Elaine Stephanik, R, of New York, conversely, is a brilliant patriot. Thank the Good Lord for good people from some very low places, where many local governments, and the state of New York are utterly corrupt.

Another Idiot Democratic Socialist, possibly a Non Patriot Leftist, governing this nation, giving US great pause to wonder: Who votes for these fools?

RINO Hunter: I began calling these idiot politicians Democratic Socialists a little over 15 years ago. Today, this descriptor has caught on, and now even RINO commissioners on the Beaufort County Board has stopped questioning my precise word choices.

Now, I describe these political stupids as Democratic Socialists bolstered by their associative Non Patriot Leftists enablers.

Rino Hunter: Until the Beaufort County Republican Party starts functioning as a local party for real Republicans, it may never happen; however, there are real Republicans out there waiting in wings to help; confused entirely by the continued RINO supporting antics of the Beaufort County GOP; and could be mobilized under the right conditions.

I meet them more and more.

Closing Snowden School in Aurora, NC is an incredibly terrible decision made by the Beaufort County Board of Education, lacking all manner of foresight, backed by erroneous data, done to achieve a petty political rung on a bad governing ladder - Stan Deatherage, Conservative, Beaufort County Commissioner

Economic Development in Beaufort County has been left up to those people that have proven to be completely incapable of wise, beneficial economic development, and, accordingly, the counteractive quality of so much of the public's money and time wasted, here in Beaufort County, is legend.

As a member of the Conservative minority on Beaufort County Commission for many decades, I have had a "ring side" and "bird's eye" view of one stupid move after another after another, which constantly keeps Beaufort County completely unexceptional, and trust me, there are no heroes here among those that are now in charge, and have been in charge, or I would have seen it by now, and recorded such.

Big change here in Beaufort County is most necessary; Conservative change is absolutely essential.

For some unknown reason, my stream of thought process renders unto me the well balanced concept of imposing the death penalty as a resolution for those individuals that commit the crime of organizing large sums of resources to create Fentanyl, and then use their organized cartel to distribute that deadly product for public consumption here in the USA.

Why do so many Democratic Socialist politicians have no sense of self-awareness.

John Valley: Yes and No: People are moving here, there is only so much perkable land in good locations here in Beaufort County, so property values will be going up; yes, there is an elitist mindset, and there are those that will "sellout the county, and take full advantage of their neighbors."

Maybe this is actually a full Yes, 1/2 Yes; and a 1/2 No. How one views the yeses and the noes should probably depend on one's optimism in humanity, or their profound sense of what is incredibly real.

No problem Van Zant.

One of my first understandings about being an honest, and thus successful politician was "not being a weasel."

Terry Williams: I don't care about your private discussions.

My point was, and is that nothing matters in governing unless the People's Business is discussed "in the room where it matters;" the public's open meeting room.

That is where I draw all contrasts; that is where the public is put on notice, and that is where the politicians, moreover, are put on notice as well.

Terry Williams: For me, as an elected official for many decades, the essential governing is always conducted in the public's open session, in that big public room, paid for by the public, and recorded for posterity.

What is advocated for the public is best done there, where there can be open debate, where words matter, and that very special historical record can be made and preserved.

In that big open room, where no doors are locked and all of the public is welcome, is where good government takes place.

That is where my best words are spoken as all of this is the People's Business. Terry, I think it would be wise if you could join me there, in that public space.

Terry Williams, I work three very important jobs, so making it to every school board meeting to close the Snowden School, and every Public Hearing to speak to the utter fecklessness of that impractical position of the Beaufort County School Board was an impossibility for me ... However ...

When I did attend a Public Hearing, or a Beaufort County Commissioners meeting, acting as my constituents' representative, I spoke ardently, passionately against closing Snowden School, and even proposed solutions to keep Snowden School open and viable ... In fact, I am still working, even now, to keep Snowden School open as an educational space, a continued solution for educating our children here in Beaufort County, in Aurora, NC, here now still as an elected Beaufort County Commissioner for this entire county of Beaufort.

Furthermore, my long history as a governing representative of Beaufort County is such that when I latch my purposeful sights on an issue to make things right here in my county, as its astute representative, I purposefully govern as one lone voice, one lone vote, and I never stop until that purpose is brought into fruition, or, unfortunately, I lose because there are just NOT ENOUGH other smart politicians /governing leaders here in Beaufort County, and even then, should I temporarily lose as my constituents' representative, I continue to work to make an uncontrollable wrong as much right, as is possible, through the democratic process ... Elections ... Yes, elections, because the changing of the proverbial incompetent guard, the removal of irresponsible politicians does make for profound consequences here in this Representative Republic, here in Beaufort County as well.

Now, Terry Williams, Beaufort County School Board Member, as you "represent the Chocowinity School district as well as the entire county:" Did you ever speak "ardently, passionately against closing of Snowden School," and where and when did you do it? When and where did you make your representative stand in an open public meeting ... Your passionate declaration, one publicly made before it was all just too late?

I have more questions still about the closing of Snowden, but why don't you start by answering this one very simple question.

I have to wonder if the same out-of-town-attorney, who did not perform a title search on the land used to construct a 52 million dollar school at the lowest point of land that this county school system, in error, thought they completely owned: Did this out-of-town-attorney make perfectly sure that the closure of Snowden School was handled in a complete and properly efficient manner.

What are the odds that every single item was handled perfectly, rather than not?
