Comments by Stan Deatherage | Eastern NC Now

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?

When people ask me what is wrong with government and those elected politicians that govern here in Beaufort County, I always answer: "The Beaufort County GOP!"

It 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?

The Snowden Vote, in some quarters, will seal the deal on future coalitions on this very political /bureaucrat driven school board.

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.

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: 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.

Steve: Yet another reason why we need to STOP electing corrupt Democratic Socialist governors, who control the state board of elections by appointing a majority of Democratic Socialists.

Wake up 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.

Freedoms are not free, and Woke Europe is "pissing" theirs away.

This Constitutional Republic of the Americas will NEVER be Woke again!

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.

And, Beaufort County Commissioner Hood Richardson is the problem here; the really bad guy in these foreseeable calamities in the making.

This reminds of Central Committee governing by directive of blame, rather than consideration of what is real within our community of Beaufort County.

Van Zant: The "Snowden deal" is done. The Center /Left - Left county commissioners, not one Real Republican among them, have acquiesced to the Bureaucrat Class.

My question is this: How can 64% of Beaufort County vote for Donald Trump, yet we have 4 Center /Left - Left Democrats on the Board of County Commissioners?

Answer: The Beaufort County GOP.

Yes, and I also remember "Gordon Solie," but I still do not know of "kayfabe."

Van Zant: If that be the case - the 3 minute comment format; the bureaucrats keeping their mouths pleasantly and mostly shut is fairly standard.

John Valley, there are many audiences out there, and some know more than others.

Last night, Center/Left Commissioner Randy Walker suggested political governing by viral Facebook. Now, one thing I do know: the knowing of things for the Facebook crowd is of a lower echelon.

Randy Walker subscribes to this level of intellect. I do not. Neither does Hood. Neither does nearly every parent with school age children, nor do the greater propensity of Beaufort County taxpayers.
