I would have loved to be there, but, I had an Equalization and Review meeting as a Beaufort County Commissioner, so the venerable commissioner, Hood Richardson, had my full proxy in voice.

RMB: 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.

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.

Steve Rader: Thank you for being there at Snowden.

Your wisdom did fill up the room, and most people listened, just not the School Board Zombies ... All except Charles Hickman ... That guy is a great representative of his constituents.

John Valley, I truly agree with both of these last comments of yours; however, I have no idea what Kayfabe means.

What I do know fairly well is that NO one gets smarter from spending copious time on Fakebook, and I am most happy you agree with me on that one.

I left Fakebook in summer of 2020, when Zuckerberg found himself totally compliant to the will and whim of the Non Patriot Left, and I questioned myself: How stupid am I to use my valuable time to "build-out" Mark Zuckerberg's website just to destroy the Patriot President, Donald J. Trump?

RINO Hunter: If it was the one public hearing required by law, it was a very strange one, most unlike any county commissioner open hearing I have participated in during my nearly 25 years on the board.

The taxpayers of this Republic are fortunate that this wrongful death was not more than 5 million.

The so-called Insurrection has cost this nation tens of billions of investigatory dollars, while the crime wave, fomented by the Non Patriot Left, has swept this nation costing our taxpayers hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars, and thousands of deaths just during the Biden Administration alone. Where was the FBI during this extreme surge of anti social, psychopathic and sociopathic behavior during the incredibly failed administration of the Idiot President - Joseph R. Biden (or was it Hunter)?

The Democratic Socialists' Insurrection cost the capital less than a million dollars, and NO deaths.

Do the math People! Why would any Right thinking person ever vote for the political /governing intellect of a Democratic Socialist, or a RINO for that matter, ever again?

Borderhawk: Roberts is compromised, and will go down in history as one the worst Republican appointees of all time.

Republican Presidents need to vet their appointments far more stringent Democratic Socialist senators, or the Democratic Socialist Propagandistic Media, when making appointments.

The Center/Left Commissioners and School Board Members (remarkably, the vast majority of whom are registered as Republicans) are moving toward closing Snowden School in Aurora.

Killing off another community school is no way to run a county school system in a county the geographically immense size of Beaufort County.

John Valley: Actually, Hood has been in a classroom within the last 5 years (he was with me). Hood was simply making an awkward point, which is this point: A commissioner being in a classroom does not matter; being a smart commissioner does matter.

I digress, John, you keep mentioning Charter Schools as if the Center/Left governs wisely; ergo, the Left and the Center/Left do not embrace School Choice or Charter Schools. I have proved in before in open session, I will probably prove it again.

John, The Center/Left and the Left will never change. One will never broker some grand compromise on taking money away from traditional Charter Schools. Change comes from winning elections.

I have known this for over two decades, and now President Trump is proving my point in a resounding manner.

John: Your comment here is to the Beaufort County School Board and the Center/Left - Left Coalition of the Beaufort County Commissioners. "Randy Walker" is member of the Center/Left - Left Coalition of the Beaufort County Commissioners.

His wife is on the School Board.

These Center/Left - Left politicians are NOT in favor of charter schools anywhere in Beaufort County.

Commissioners Hood Richardson and Stan Deatherage, who are heavily in favor of School Choice as a fine alternative to make education more real, and Tandy Dunn, by his votes, may well join us in that School Choice paradigm, have proven to know what is probably best for education here in Beaufort County ... certainly more than the current administration.

The Left needs to understand that they do NOT have a lock on what is art.

A prime example of such is your comedians are NO longer funny.

John Steed: It is always about the money, because without taxpayer's hard taxes collected, the Non Patriot Left would have no reason to exist.

I sat through a meeting commissioners' budget meeting Tuesday night, where the Center-Left Coalition, those who swap votes to share power here in Beaufort County's Government, are working themselves into a Leftist frenzy to close a school in perfectly good condition to build a mega school, one in which we do not need, at the lowest point of the land, land that BCSs did not entirely own; the management of which could not be bothered to order a title search until it was TOO LATE.

It is moving toward 4 months now since I have asked for a copy of that "TOO LATE Title Search," from every authority available, and this duly elected county commissioner can NOT get a copy of it. At every turn, I have been stopped in retrieving what was never done in a timely manner, for huge expenditures that never needed to be made, not in my fiscally balanced world of management.

One has only to intellectually move an inordinately small distance to wonder: Why are the Leftist Center-Left Coalition, administering Beaufort County's government, and a Leftist Beaufort County Schools' administration now asking for more and more taxpayer's treasure to keep a school system afloat, one with a dwindling student population, so they may remain viable in a condition that they have become well accustomed?

Could the answer just be terrible management ... With the public's money?

John, it is always about the inordinate need for the public's money for Leftists, without which the Left would NOT exist.

How does J.B. Pritzker get elected?

Such Frightening prospect for this Republic that this Fat Fool has any degree of governing responsibility.

Van Zant: Since I am a county commissioner; I cannot make the decision as to whether to leave a school open or close it; however, I will never vote to spend any county tax dollars for its replacement.

If I was a member of the school board, it would be a wise understanding that 3 strong votes on this board understands stewardship of the county treasury as well as I do, and once we gain that 4th vote, a 4th Real Republican on this board of county commissioners, there will be many changes.

There will be DOGE here in Beaufort County.

Amendus: This deportation period is a sticky wicket, since these Illegals were aided and abetted by the Traitorous Administration of Treasonous President Biden.

I am not sure that the American People would agree to give all Illegals your idea of Due Process; however, if the trade off was the prosecution of the entirety of those responsible within the Idiot President's Administration for tens of millions of Illegals allowed to enter this Constitutional Republic, aided and abetted by these Non Patriot Bastards, the American People may consider differently.

I would agree with that tradeoff. That would set a fine example for the Non Patriot Left to understand going forward what will come of their extra illegal, and inarguable non patriot actions.

Nohate: American Citizens have due process; Illegals, understandably, have less in many instances, such as being deported under a government of patriots; much unlike the traitorous non patriot government of the former Idiot President, who, acting as the Traitor-in-Chief, in the Battle of the Border(s) Invasion of 2021 to 2025.
