Commented on Biden Press Sec Karine Jean-Pierre Says She’s Leaving Democrats, Selling Inside Look At ‘Broken’ WHThis book may be a huge revelation, or extremely sad, or both.
Regardless, this will be a book by a minor player in the most corrupt and ignorant administration in the history of the United States; a time many would like to forget, but also a time that will never be forgotten because of the abject damage done to this Constitutional Republic.

Commented on The Closing of S. W. Snowden Elementary School Appears to be a Done Deal – Unless the School Board Grows a SpineTerry 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.

Commented on D-Day: A Time to RememberReading over this fine Diane Rufino post, I am reminded how much I miss her sound mind by the written word, and her wise advice spoken to me on so many occasions.
God bless you Diane; you are with Jesus now, and I am sure you are quickly becoming one of his favorites.

Commented on The Closing of S. W. Snowden Elementary School Appears to be a Done Deal – Unless the School Board Grows a SpineTerry 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.

Commented on Cuomo Says He’ll Spend ‘Eight Years In Washington’ Fighting Trump If He Wins NYC Mayor’s RaceAndrew Cuomo is still the Leftist suck-up, ethics challenged, murder making fool he has always been. Yeah, at this very time, he could be just the right Democratic Socialist to be mayor of New York City.

Commented on The Closing of S. W. Snowden Elementary School Appears to be a Done Deal – Unless the School Board Grows a SpineTerry 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.

Was Idiot President Biden ever more than just an idiot as president?
Or, was the Idiot President mostly just a traitor to his nation on many fronts, and an obvious treasonous bastard, mindless and simple, with his Crackhead Son, and his Fake Doctor Wife in charge of navigating this Representative Republic? Also, why did not the Democratic Socialist Propagandistic Media report this obvious picture of such an imperfect president, rather their constant propaganda that Mr. Trump was evil?

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?

With a few public hearings; a few school board meetings on this closure; a few county commissioner meetings, where Republican commissioners brought up this issue in an attempt to stop closure, the only school board members that I am aware of that spoke to the issue of saving Snowden was Charles Hickman, and, to a lesser extent, Stacey Davis.
Am I missing something here? As a county commissioner, on extra important issues such as saving a school, I always publicly speak whenever I have the opportunity to do so. Did Terry Williams speak in favor of saving Snowden School?

Commented on The Closing of S. W. Snowden Elementary School Appears to be a Done Deal – Unless the School Board Grows a SpineJohn Valley: Yesterday, the following message is one that I texted all Republican School Board Members that came to the Conservative Republican Club asking for that club's political support:
"DO NOT fall into the political abyss of closing Snowden. This is such an extremely obvious vote, with so much on the line for Aurora, you will not survive this politically if you vote to close yet another community school. No one will, when all the other stupid votes the school board has made is factored in; I mean egregiously stupid. Just DO NOT do it."

Commented on The Closing of S. W. Snowden Elementary School Appears to be a Done Deal – Unless the School Board Grows a SpineVan Zant: You are waxing mighty generous by listing an R by the names of these amateur politicians in your accounting of the vote totals. This was a back room deal of the first order, with a majority of the school board and the Center/Left-Left Coalition county commissioners in league to continue to damage education here in Beaufort County.

Commented on The Closing of S. W. Snowden Elementary School Appears to be a Done Deal – Unless the School Board Grows a SpineIt is official: Snowden has been closed by the the "Republican" led Beaufort County School Board.
All conservative Republican elected officials in Beaufort County, whether it was the county commissioners or the school board members, voted against the closing of Snowden School. What does this say about the Beaufort County GOP? I know exactly what it says about the local GOP. What say you?

Commented on The Closing of S. W. Snowden Elementary School Appears to be a Done Deal – Unless the School Board Grows a SpineBy a 4 (Center/Left - Left Coalition) to 3 (Republicans) the Beaufort County Commissioners voted to support the School Board's decision, by NOT interfering by the offering of generous monetary incentive to remain open.
The back room deals are cut; the RINOs win again. Political Analysis: Beaufort County better elect more real Republicans, and keep the real Republicans that are currently elected.

If not for Covid and those 45,000,000 Absentee Ballots floating about, the Idiot President /the Traitorous President, Biden, would have never been elected in the 2020 General Election.
Now, please do not conflate this comment as the absentee ballot issue being the only way the Non Patriot Left cheated in that election, it is, however, the greatest of their methods of cheating to elect the worst, most corrupt, and incredibly incompetent president in the history of these United States.

Commented on Help Fight to Save SnowdenThe Superintendent will, once again, marshal his cadre of boisterous educators to be there to make this vote a true political event.
Please show up to see which Board members have the minerals to do their job by doing what is absolutely right, not expedient.

This first Table Talk is a noble beginning, a point where I had known Dave Hudson for just a matter of weeks, where are learning what a podcast is, should be, and how to best accomplish such, ever evolving.
We have done eleven to date; we will do more, and will shall always endeavor to make each one interesting.

John: I might have to agree with you and Van Zant: For BCS, one stupid move begets another stupid move, then begets another stupid move.
When the Superintendent tried explaining it away, as if there was a pot of money earmarked for really stupid moves by bureaucrats, I became understandably incredulous. It has been nearly four months since I have requested a copy of that infamous Title Search of the Phantom 4 acres, if after-the-fact. I have yet to receive this written opinion of title.

John Steed: Well, that fixtured out-of-town Democratic Socialist lawyer, along with Superintendent Cheeseman, and the inept Center/Left - Left Coalition in the majority of Beaufort County Board of County Commissioners cost Beaufort County's taxpayers 500,000.00 needlessly out of what I consider gross stupidity.

John: So, "Kayfabe" is the backroom deal also for politicians, where the politicians and their associative bureaucrats, mislead the public by a variety of measures, and since they have the majority, the common perception among those that are not up on what is real tends to trend with the majority vote, simply, because people get stuff, while the unsuspecting taxpayers eventually gets hit with the full bill.
Yeah, there is much "Kayfabe" originating with, and by the Beaufort County Commission's Center/Left - Left Coalition, and their associative bureaucrats. I can only imagine what is occurring with the Beaufort County school board, and their associative bureaucrats.

John Valley: When Democratic Socialists continue to spew, "Trump will destroy our Democracy." That entirely means, it is the intent of the Democratic Socialists to do just that: Destroy our democratic process to deny US our true representatives.
In the 2020 General Election, they showed US just how far the "Democratics" would go to destroy our sacred democratic process to elect our leaders for this Representative Republic. Democratic Socialists have proved they will lie, cheat and steal to retain power; even elect an Idiot President to destroy this Constitutional Republic if necessary ... Never again!

It looks like North Carolina has made the national news, and NOT in a good way.
Beaufort County is probably clean here; however, what does this say about the rest of state, many Democratic Socialist controlled counties, employed all of the Democratic Socialist corrupt political machine levers to put "Ole Coop" back in office by the corrupt 2020 general election, just so he could continue the Covid Shutdown, a clear misuse of the governor's Emergency Powers Act. "Ole Coop" kept schools and small businesses closed against the advice of all wisdom, while allowing friends of the Democratic Socialists' to remain open. Never forget People!

Van Zant: There will be some mighty angry residents of Richland Township when this is all over, and their children are stuck on a bus for hours a day. Board member Charles Hickman, representing Richland Township, has work tirelessly, but he is just one vote against the many that have been sucked into this BCS /BC Gov. shell game.
What stupid mess this has become; one stupidity following another; following another; what a way to govern and educate children?

RINO Hunter: As an elected official for 25 years, I have made this profound observation, and it is ongoing: Some elected public officials deeply rely on the Bureaucrat Class to make any decision, ergo, the bureaucrats end up running the People's government.
For true Conservatives, this is a weird concept of futility in governing, but for Democratic Socialists and RINOs, who are elected, it is their way henceforward through their public avocation.

Commented on School Board goes NON-transparent on Snowden closureRMB: It is a fairly simple analogy here as to why Superintendent Cheeseman "still has his job": 1. He is "twice Superintendent of the Year" from the NC School Superintendents Association from the SE Alliance's Council of Superintendents, which is concerning because Beaufort County is, of course, a northeastern county in North Carolina; 2. Much of the Beaufort County School Board is clearly not engaged as to what is their charge within their elected office.

Commented on Cheeseman Named Superintendent Of The Year – Really?RINO Hunter: Corruption is condoned often in many Beaufort County governing bodies through the contracting process, often by bids.
There is a point where governing bodies can take the higher bid, but they must have a viable reason when doing so, and reason must be publicly expressed at some point. That public can become a sticky wicket because: first, the reason not to use that vendor has to be expressed succinctly and correctly; two, most Beaufort County bureaucrats are very good at politics, but not very good at knowing real stuff, which is a limiting factor in discussing these issues in open session, especially when the low bidder knows far more than the bureaucrat, and is willing to stake their reputations on what they consider their truth. At the Beaufort County July general meeting, I will motion that all contracts bid be opened in open session, with all parties notified to be present should they desire to do so, and have the right to speak on that subject. This is just one small step to remove all vestiges of "waste, fraud and abuse" known to exist here in Beaufort County with the public's money.

Commented on Cheeseman Named Superintendent Of The Year – Really?Great post on the inadequacy of governance on the Beaufort County School Board in what should be the proper administration of our public schools.
In this new age of an evolving School Choice plan for all North Carolina's tax payers, the Beaufort County Schools are on a poor course to provide leadership, fiscal and otherwise. Now, here is my word of advice to whatever nominal "Republicans" out of nine board members, who are rumored to be Republicans. If, as a school board member, you are a Republican, I would strenuously advise that you act like one. Politics can be a rough sporting play here in Beaufort County, NC, and it would behoove all Republicans, real and otherwise, to learn how to act as if their hearts and brains are wired well together, and are significantly in the right place going henceforward.
