Biden and Mayorkas, who let these illegal aliens in, should be indicted in all such cases as accessories before the fact.

The very purpose of the city "loaning" (there appear to be no documents that one would normally expect on a real loan) that money to the Housing authority was to buy those two substandard lots from Brooks and build houses on them. That is Conflict of interest with a capital "C".

Seven women have accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, with the most damning being his former Senate staffer Tara Reade, who says Biden put his hand up her dress and penetrated her private parts with his finger, which is referred to as digital rape. This sexual attack on an employee who found it very unwelcome made this particularly egregious.

Then there is serial sexual molestor Al Gore. The leftwing Big Media just keeps covering up for lefties like Biden and Gore.

There is a secret fund in Congress to pay off the victims of sexual assaults on congressional staff. It has been asked but never answered if Tara Reade got one of those payoffs.

Sounds like something that Bigot Bob would do.

An essential step for change in our schools is getting a solid curriculum, something that is totally under the control of elected local school board members. Unfortunately, too many of them want to bury their heads in the sand and lets others exercise that function and they just rubberstamp the result. That is a big part of what is wrong with our schools.

There are guidelines and recommendations from the state Board of Education, appointed by the governor, but that board is dominated by hard core leftists appointed by Governor Cooper and they are a big part of the problem. Weak minded local officials too often just follow their lead.

Big textbook / curriculum companies tend to pander to the liberal states with their products, making them full of "woke". A few states have stood up at a state level and said "NO" to these companies and insisted on non-woke curricula. Florida is a champion in this and Texas has also made great strides.

We need a school board that will take the bull by the horns on curricula. Our local board in the face of community opposition sidelined the "woke" Savvas social studies curriculum, but it is hard to tell what they are doing on that presently. Then they adopted the Bridges math curriculum which is not only Common Core but also packed with "woke". They claimed they would just not teach the Common Core part, but that was a lie because Common Core math assignments are coming home as homework. One was posted on this site.

Yes, Gary, brainwashed new teachers from universities are a problem, but the bigger problem, which is totally under the control of elected school board members, is having a woke curriculum. We need action, not words on that.

At present Cheeseman appoints the committees that recommend curricula. He has total control of that process. If he appoints too many younger teachers who have been recently indoctrinated in universities, then everyone should expect a "woke" result.

Oh, and good luck in your city council race. Too many on the city council, like on the school board, are low energy people who just go with the flow. Sadler has his set of poodles on the city council just like Chesseman has his set of poodles on the school board. We need energetic and informed public officials who make up their own minds.

The Beaufort County Schools have had numerous incidents of gender bender behavior and it keeps happening. Cheeseman is only going through the motions.

First, there was a male student south of the river that the school authorities allowed to change into girls clothing when he arrived at school and then change back when he left in the afternoon, hiding his fetish from his parents.

Then last year there was an incident of a teacher at Washington High School bringing in a speaker on gender transition.

Now we have the "Gender Unicorn" given out in the Early College High School program. What has Cheeseman done about that other than flap his gums? He won't tell us, and anyone who attended the meeting where this was discussed would know that. Cheeseman spoke extensively over someone at the Education First Alliance using an incorrect heading for the internet saying it was in Brunswick County (everything in the actual article said Beaufort County), but he gave no details as to what, if anything, he did to see that this did not happen again. One would expect him to obtain a signed agreement with the Community College that these things would not be allowed when high school students were in a class, but it is very doubtful if anything like that was done.

I have looked at Beaufort County Schools policy on curriculum and while it prohibits a number of things being taught, radical gender theory is not prohibited. It certainly should be. If Chesseman really wanted to do something, putting that in county school policy would be among the first things, but he has failed to do so or to bring it before the board.

Oh, and the school board chairman is a bad joke. He is Cheeseman's poodle, a total front man for the superintendant. The puppet strings are obvious.

This woman is a woke nutter.

Mark Milley bragged about studying Marx, Lenin, and Mao's writings but apparent never people like Jefferson, Franklin, or Hamilton. It is good he is gone from our military and only the woke far left sees him in a positive light.

The "trumped up" phony charges against Trump are politically motivated, which even foreign leaders have publicly noted. Of course a hardline wokester like one of the Campbells would take them at face value. The lack of charges against the corruption of Hunter and Joe Biden is similarly politically motivated.

The Campbells may be useless as to any substance, but they are a far left version of the Babylon Bee.

As usual, Little Bobbie, you do not keep up on real facts, just the leftwing narrative. The German Health Minister not long ago revealed the results of their government's study on the effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine, the one most used in Germany. He did not reveal the results voluntarily but only after an opposition member of the Bundestag used a parliamentary inquiry to force disclosure.

That study involved over 45,000 people, half given the Pfizer vaccine and half given a placebo, and then their Covid history was followed, with the key metric being how many died of Covid. The German Health Minister was compelled to reveal that there was no difference whatsoever in Covid deaths between the two groups, meaning the vaccine did nothing.

Then there are the stasitics from Taiwan, which only counts people who died from Covid itself, not just with Covid, as Covid deaths. Their statistics showed slightly more deaths from the Covid vaccine (not sure which one was used there) than from Covid itself.

Summed up, Polish politics has gotten a lot more fragmented. The farthest right party, actually a coalition of smaller parties but functioning as a single party, Confederation, made gains but is still far behind the major parties of the right, Law and Justice on the populist side and Civic Platform on the traditional side. Only once since the fall of communism has a single party been able to achieve a majority in Poland by itself, and that was Law and Justice. Poland is back to a more fragmented situation but with a whole lot more seats in parliament for parties of the right than parties of the left. The result also means than one of the two major parties of the right will lead the new government, and it is Law and Justice with the better path to a stable coalition.

And maybe you think George Orwell was a "dummy". Orwell wrote: "So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot."

If you want to see a dummy, Little Bobbie, here is a hint: Go look in a mirror.

THose who want to put deed records on computers remind me of those who insist on using voting machines, which are corruptable, instead of paper ballots. Computerized records are fine as a convenience for those offsite, but permanent records should be hard copy of critical documents.

That said, the real problem in the Register of Deeds office is a space problem, which has been called to the attention of the county commission several years ago by the previous Register of Deeds. Even space for more computer terminals would be a space problem. At one time, it was thought that the old Seaboard Savings and Loan building would go to the Register of Deeds for more space, but the county manager gave that to the finance department instead.

Your attitude is like Biden admitted to, where for the left "truth" is a different thing than facts, Baghdad Bob. Those who excused the Nazi's horrors and those who excuse Hamas' horrors are equally evil. Look in the mirror, Bobbie, because that includes YOU.

If you want to see crazy, Bigot Bob, go look in a mirror. The polling shows most Americans view Israel, not Hamas, as the victim, and they view what Hamas did as terrorism. Your view is that of the far left radical fringe.

There goes Bigot "Blame the Jew" Bob again! Despite what he says, the terror inflicted by Hamas is NOT Israel's fault. And NO, Israel does not practice "apartheid", that is simply far left nonsense, the "blame the Jew" mentality.

When Israel declared its independence, local Arabs had a choice of staying and becoming full pledged Israeli citizens, with full rights as Israelis, which many of them did. There are even Arab Israeli parties in the Israeli parliament, which were part of the last coaltion government.

However, a larger number chose to reject and renounce Israel and flee. They made their choice and now have to live with it. Israel gave them the chance to participate as full citizens, but they rejected it.

That is just like American independence. British sympathizers had a chance to stay and become part of the independent American states, which many did, with full rights as Americans. Others chose to flee and renounce their opportunity to be Americans. Many pro-British planters from North Carolina, for example, fled to the Bahamas with their slaves. Many Bahamians today are descendants of those transplanted North Carolina British loyalists or the slaves that were taken with them from North Carolina.

When a country achieves its independence, one often has a choice to make on taking part or not. Some choose badly in those circumstances.

Fess up, 2nd Holocaust denier. Bigot Bobbie, you posted the far left meme that the Hamas terrorism is the fault of Israeli "apartheid". And it is your buddies, Hamas, that are the violent ones - beheading children, raping women, burning people alive. cutting the baby out of a pregnant woman, etc. Supporting terrorists NEVER brings peace, unless you want the peace of the grave for the victims. You are beneath contempt, Bigot Bob.

Oh, and like most conservatives, I never "google" anything. I search with a more honest and less biased search engine like Brave Search, DuckDuckGo, or even Bing. Google is anti-privacy, anti-free speech, and very biased.

More like a grown up Hamas (nazi) apologist. Your blame the Jew attitude is repulsive.

Why rehash your false spin, Bigot Bob? Yes, Israelis are pissed that their government got caught offguard by the surprise attack, as most populations would be in similar circumstances. But that is a far different thing from the far left's "blame the Jew" approach that you try to insinuate.
