So Bobbie likes corruption. Who would have ever guessed?

This guy is great. He calls out the climate alarmists for the frauds they are, opposes all the "woke" nonsense, and says you cannot give the leftists an inch. And he has a huge mandate.

Giving $2.5 Billion of our taxpayers money to a radical Islamic regime that hates us is just insanity, but it is typcial of the spnedthrift ways of the Biden spendaholics. It is even worse for them to cover up how the Taliban is spending it from our own US government investigators.

There is a debate in science, so we should not be going hog wild on one side.

The 1600 scientists who signed the letter take a position consistent with conventional climate science and with the observations of climate cycles that have occured in the past, as well as current data. The climate alarmist scientists, on the other hand, take a radical new approach, promoted with political money in the 1980s and since. The climate alarmist scientists have also been caught scheming to cover up facts and data that disprove their theory in the Climategate emails

The last multi-century cycle of global warming, the Medieval Warm Period came to a natural end and went into a cooling cycle, the Little Ice Age. I have yet to hear the climate alarmist scientists try to explain how CO2 and such "caused" the Medieval Warm Period, when it was warmer than it is today and nothing bad happened as a result. In fact, it was a period of great wealth and human progress. Maybe the climate alarmists might claim it was horse farts from all those knights riding around?

Or take the granddaddy of all warm cycles, the Holocene Maximum, when it was MUCH warmer than today for 3,000 years. That coincided with the Bronze Age of human development and the heyday of ancient Greek civilization. We know from ancient Greek history that there were no bad outcomes from that warm period.

You are just a cultist Bobbie.

This is an outrage to taxpayers. It is good to see that President Trump is going to round them up and send them home when he gets back in office, like President Eisenhower did. America desperately needs Trump back in office, and Biden GONE.

And we need that Castro Cuban traitor Mayorkas impeached today.

"Green energy" is a scandal in itself. THe only thing "green" about it is the green money that flows into the pockets of the grifters who promote it.Green energy is much more expensive and much less reliable than conventional power. Both wind and solar are land intensive and have led to vast deforestation, which only in an Orwellian sense could be passed off as "green". That deforestation not only includes the sites where the wind and solar "farms" are built, but also vast swaths of the Amazon, known as the "lungs of the planet" which are being clear cut for balsa wood for wind turbine blades.

Here in North Carolina, the scoundrels behind pushing our own green new deal include Phil Berger and Jim Perry in the state senate and Tim Moore in the state house.

I can't speak for Bobby, but I strongly suspect he will be staying engaged. His knowledge of how the city works will be invaluable in keeping tabs on the Sadlerites.

Well, I guess we can expect more corrupt insider deals like the city buying Brooks' two substandard lots, but who be there to catch it with Bobby Roberson gone? I don't see either Hodges or Pitt having the backbone to do that. They may not vote with Sadler on the more egregious things, but is either likely to have the sorts of confrontations with him that Bobby did over improprieties Sadler was up to? The people do not even have a real watchdog any more. Yes, this is going to be a bad two years.

Stan, Brabo put her "green" obsession in an ad in yesterday's Washington Daily News. That newspaper does not have the readership it used to, so it is sort of slow getting out.

You are right that the "green energy" movement is not environmaentally friendly. A good example is the government of Baden-Wurttemberg in Germany, led by the "Green Party" turning the Black Forest into sawdust to put up their wind turbines. Or the Scottish government cutting down 13.1 million trees on government land, according to figures by their government forestry service, to build wind farms and solar farms. True environmentalists are often suing to stop these wind and solar monstrosities, like the lawsuit in Germany that has, at least for now, saved the ancient Reinhardswald forest, the setting of Brahms Fairy Tales, from being clear cut for wind turbines.

Right at the end of the campaign, Ellen Brabo has come out of the closet full Greta Thunberg, embracing the carbon / climate cult of cliamte alarmism. She wants expensive and unreliable green energy. Since the City of Washington is our electric provider, don't vote for this woman unless you want your electric bill to skyrocket. She put that in an ad right at the end of the campaign. She should have told us she was a disciple of this nonsense earlier. I actually thought early on that she was someone to condider voting for, but now, NO WAY IN HELL. She is clearly on the left end of the political spectrum.

If you check Bobby Roberson's voting record, you will find he has consistently opposed Sadler's big spending and Sadler's tax increases. He has also led some successful battles to protect local citizens from projects pushed by the mayor's cronies.

As to the corruption at the Housing Authority, Bobby was the first to bring this to light. Gary Ceres picked up on it early and has beat the drum more loudly, but it was Bobby who first went to the Register of Deeds to get the goods on the transaction with Richard Brooks. If you had been at his campaign forums, you would have heard him discuss these situations in detail. And Bobby has sent this information to Raleigh to be fully investigated and dealt with. Bobby has also been the one to expose the junketing, all over the country at taxpayer expense by the Housing Authority board, led by Sadler's wife, with Sadler himself on many of those trips.

Our new House Speaker has it nailed on this one. He has offered a bill to provide military aid to Israel, and to pay for it by zeroing out the 87,000 new IRS auditors. If this works, he has fixed one of McCarthy's awful mistakes.

That taxpayer money, over half a million bucks, was to buy and develop two substandard lots belonging to Richard Brooks. Ethics laws required Brooks to recuse himself (not participate) in approval of that transaction, but he violated those laws by making the motion and then voting in favor of it. A Hyde County Commissioner was prosecuted for doing something similar. This is pure sleaze and we do not need sleazy politicians like this in public office.

You can find those deeds easy enough in the Register of Deeds office. You may or may not get the city manager to let you see the Council minutes, but they are clear, too. This is corruption to the nth degree, and Brooks needs to give back the money.

The city's outside audit was scheduled to be made public several weeks ago, but Sadler postponed it until after the election. Can you spell C-O-V-E-R-U-P?

For legal immigrants, they have to file an Affidavit of Support from American citizens which pledges that those citizens will provide any needed support to the immigrant for five years after their arrival. They are legally not eligible for any support programs except emergency Medicaid and natural disaster related assistance.

People who have illegally entered the country are not supposed to get any public assistance program but the loophole is that anchor babies do qualify and that brings others in the family into some programs by the back door.

Those who are deemed "refugees" however have it made as they are entitled to all welfare programs. That is one reason why most illegal aliens try to claim asylum. This is a real racket and the Biden regime keeps trying to expand the ranks of those parasites who can kick back on welfare.

Smaller schools for localized areas are much better for race relations because in a smaller group setting students can much more easily relate to each other as individals rather than on an impersonal large group racial stereo type basis. Getting to know each other as individuals is the best way to break down racial stereotyping and racial division. But, of course, the far left WANTS racial division and racial stereotyping.

Tyre is on both the slate of the corrupt Sadler machine and the slate of the county Democrat Party. Do they not care where the guy actually lives? Does power mean that much to them? Of course it does to Boss Hogg Sadler, who has had two absolute yes-men on the city council, Mike Renn, a drunk who is not running again, and the barely literate Richard Brooks, both of them easy to control. Renn is not running again, so Boss Sadler is looking for two new flunkies who are easy to control and thinks he has found them in Antwon Horton and Anthony Tyre. If Sadler, Tyre, Horton, and Brooks are elected, out city government will operate just like Tammany Hall, and hold onto your wallets.
