From the articles linked, there was not any major event that caused that blade to shatter. It just happened. Imagine a hurricane or even a bad nor'easter blowing through a gaggle of these things. How much damage would that cause, and how long to clean it up, if that were even possible? We DO NOT need these wind scams in our oceans. Roy Cooper is an idiot to propose it.

Here is a retired Canadian army sniper who has also worked protective details for major world leaders, who says the Trump shooter had to have had help from insiders:

Yes, Bobbie, that sounds EXACTLY like what the Biden Democrats are doing with their distortions about Project 2025. Gaslighting. Also, all of their "Trump is Hitler" and "threat to democracy" crap.

Little Bobbie is a quota-head DEI fanatic who does not seem to comprehend that the important thing in hiring is getting the people most capable of doing the job. If you set ANY arbitrary criteria other than qualifications to do the job, you get a less qualified workforce. If you restrict jobs to white males, you will get a less qualified workforce because invariably there will be some women, some blacks, some Hispanics who can do the job better than the lowest tier of the protected class. Positions in the Secret Service, and all government positions, should be open to everyone to apply, but selection should be strictly based on those with the best ability to do the job. It is clear that the Secret Service under Biden, like the FAA, is hiring based on quotas instaed of qualifications and the results show it. Is it going to take a major air diasater to get the quotas out of the FAA? The near misses ought to be enough to set off the alarm bells. Is it going to take a successful assassination to set off the alarm bells?

And it is still an open question, as Elon Musk and Erik Prince point out, or whether this was extreme incompetence or worse.

Speak for yourself, Little Bobbie. The Democrats, the left, and the media have been the ones radcializing their base by demonizing the opposition. You, yourself have done it right here. Your side is the ones who have said the extreme things that need to be toned down. Republicans have never said the things about Biden that your side has regularly said about Trump.

That the shooter registered in a way to vote against Trump in the primary is not at all significant about who he is politically. His political contribution history tells the real story and it is a DEMOCRAT story. What will tell the tale is what information is found in his vehicle and his residence, and if that is not what Biden wants us to see, the FBI will undoubedly sit on it until at least after election day.

Stopping the woke curriculum is the main reason we need a conservative school board, something we do NOT have right now. Florida is fighting the woke curriculum statewide with great success but most fights are on a county by county basis. It is why parents all over the country are voting out school board members who suck up to the liberal education establishment. Parents do not want school board members who brown nose the bureaucrats. Our candidate for governor, Mark Robinson, has fought these same curriculum battles on the state school board, as has State Treasurer Dale Folwell.

Corey, as I recall, you were one of those who challenged Sheriff Coleman, not one who was in his support group. You did it as a Democrat, however. Republicans making mischief in Democrat primaries is something that has gone on for a while. I remember in one election cycle Rush LImbaught dubbed it "Operation Chaos". I would not assume anything from just taking a ballot in the Democrat primary. How he voted in the general election would be the key factor.

So, Bobbie agrees with the anti-democratic maneuver of kicking opponents off the ballot even though they qualified for it? Or does he/she think it is "idiotic" to object to that partisan hanky panky?

WE need more sincere and honest election workers like this young lady who will speak out about what is being done to our elections.

You are like a broken record, Bolshevik Bob, to keep repeating your bullcrap far left talking point, claiming your opponents "will turn on everyone" or some variation. You are just practicing the Josef Goebbels playbook that if you tell a lie often enough, you think it will become the truth.

Bobbie, you may have to call them "Comrade Commissar" if any of these loony left Democrats get in for four more years. "President" will no longer be the term they use. Gavin Newsome, commissar of the Peoples Republic of Californication is a prime example.

Like your buddy Biden, you must not be following the news on all the crime from the illegal aliens, Little BObbie. You might take a look here with lots of links: www.beaufortcountynow.com

Credentials and knowledge matter. Dr. Blinson's background shows he has it. On the other side running this circus is a gang of three, two of them complete know-nothings on school construction, and one with a personal agenda of resume building and only limited knowledge of what he is doing.

On the county commission, while some people have knee jerk opinions of people because they don't like them politically, one again has to look at credentials. As an engineer, Richardson has been involved with many substantial building projects and knows all the professional and technical aspects. Frankie Waters knows little to nothing about construction and has questionable business ability. After all, the old Tri-County Telephone went under during his stint as its chairman and had to be sold to an outside company to keep it from going bust. Waters is the perfect know nothing for Cheeseman to control.

We need to look at credentials, not who we like or don't like politically.

Why will nobody name the "Republican" commissioner who contributed to the Democrat sheriff nominee? His name is Frankie Waters, and yes, he is back on the county Republican executive committee. In fact, if you compare the contributor list for that Democrat sheriff candidate with the list of those elected to the current Beaufort County Republican executive committee, you will see more names on both of those lists than just Frankie Waters.

Somehow, all of those people were allowed to run for seats at the convention, but Tandy Dunn, whose exclusion was overturned by the state party, was not. When his precinct elected him precinct chairman, they were told they had to elect someone else or they would be considered an unorganized precinct. Why was he treated differently that those who wrote checks to that Democrat campaign? As the state party ruled, Tandy's exclusion was bogus and should never have happened in the first place, but he was the only one not allowed to run for office at last year's convention.

A bait and switch by the Democrats would be a real assault on democracy. I wouldn't put it past them, but I do not think it will go over with voters.

Great post, Mr. Blinson. All of the things you mention are things a competent school board would have considered and gotten to the bottom of, but the majority on this Beaufort County School Board just follows whereever their superintendant tells them to go, without looking at the options. We got a few good ones in two years ago, but we need to send up some more thinking members this year to replace the dead wood we have.

Cheeseman says he is building this school for 1,000 students. The enrollment of the two elementary schools he is consolidating is 800, and the system has declining enrollment. Where are the other 200 students going to come from? The two closest elementary schools are Bath and Chocowinity. If I were a parent of a prospective elementary student in Bath or Chocowinity, THAT is what would worry me about this scheme.
