Steve: None of this makes sense to me.

This a perfect example of how I would lose my real estate brokers license that I have held since 1984.

Incompetence has a way of begatting more incompetence, so everyone better keep their eyes wide open.

Diane Rufino once told me that "Gladiator" was her favorite film of all time, but Diane said that about other films at other times, which revealed to me that Diane loved many things at many different times; however, was never distracted from she knew to be real, and what she knew to be real ... was legendary.

I agreed often with Diane about she knew to be so real; that was incredibly important not only to her, but should be to others.

After watching "Gladiator," yet again, this time with my dear wife of 46.6 years, I must agree with Diane that this film, with its fabulous soundtrack by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerard running almost constantly in the background, is one of the greatest films ever made, and will forever withstand the test of time to remain so.

Washingtonian: These "wise" decisions are made by the Center-Left Coalition far ahead of the open session meetings; notice from the meeting's video how few questions these Center-Left politicians answered, when asked by myself and Commissioner Richardson.

These "bipartisan" commissioners do not work well under the same strain of scrutiny that publicly elected officials are expected to withstand.

Steed: I questioned the incredible reasoning that a Durham based lawyer was not responsible for a simple title search on this land so conveniently purchased by the Center-Left Coalition.

Van Zant: By showing support for disloyal "Republicans" on such a large scale, for such a long time, the Beaufort County GOP is complicit in this unnatural behavior of abject RINOism.

Van Zant: In that meeting, on that day, there were those that had a collusive plan to waste 1/2 a million dollars, and there were your 3 Conservative commissioners ready to solve this grand error of incompetence by spending no additional tax dollars.

On this day, the compounded incompetence of the Center-Left Coalition won out.

DEI is a "feel good" set of convoluted principles that provide a sense of well being for people who generally are intellectually challenged.

Yeah Will Simmons: That is an image I am proud to NOT BE SEEN in.

I have voted against every aspect of this ill conceived misadventure, but I did vote for the 4 acre swap to get these fools out of trouble; however ...

There was NO shame to found as they wasted yet another $500,000.00.

CV: I cannot state this enough: This one issue is a simple, but effective litmus test for governing stupidity ... a stupidity that has raised it head far too often in recent years here on the Beaufort County Board of Commissioners.

What is it with Democratic Socialist lawyers: Do they lose their patriotic zeal once elected, or are they always that way?

Jack Maggio wrote: "A more pressing concern is the suspicious timing of the four-acre property ownership change, which was close to the timing of the grant award. Why has that (NOT) been discussed by the commissioners?"

Because Jack, the 3 Conservative Commissioners were either not notified in open session, or otherwise; while, the 4 members of the voting block, known as the Center-Left Coalition, either had that information in private, or were given that information at the same time as the conservative Republicans (which I doubt), and deeply suspect that it was the former since two members of the Center-Left Coalition are married to school board members.

As a county commissioner, I first try not to do what is ignorant. Spending 1/2 million dollar to buy land because the Durham based School Board attorney failed to conduct a simple title search is one big piece of the stupid tree; electing to spend 500,000.00 rather than trade 4 acres (of unused school property) in a swap, at no cost, is yet another bigger piece of that same stupid tree.

After serving for 26 years in government, stupid politicians and their stupid bureaucrats are really starting to piss me off in a major way.

We have seen what abject stupid governing has done to our Representative Republic over the last 4 years; much longer if you count the Non Patriot Democratic Socialist Lawfare in the first Trump term. Do we really want our local politicians to be equally stupid?

This one issue is actually a governing litmus test on whether one is a Leftist of thoughtful, on whether one is stupid or smart.

Big Bob never gets into the specifics on any issue other that to provide Leftitst speak. This is how Leftists operate.

We are long past diplomacy on the Beaufort County Board of Commissioners when the Center-Left Coalition drives headlong down the path toward abject stupidity.

Big Bob: It is quite natural that you would jump on for the ride.

Big Bob: Every time you throw around the misnomer "White Supremacist," or condemn your so-called "evangelical Christian," or "Christian Nationalist," or support gender mutilation in children, yes Big Bob, you are a confirmed Leftist, so enjoy your "Badge of Honor."

You earned it!

Nothing screams guilty like preemptively pardoning family members for long specific time periods, who benefitted from the nefarious dealings of the Biden Crime Family; the man who participated in gain of function research, for research, that was the nexus of covid; and the entire incompetent January 6th Committee comprised of only Democratic Socialists and RINOs who despise Mr. Trump.

My advice to all patriots: Do not let up on the exposing of all corrupt politicians; the collusive cheating to win elections, like the Presidential election of 2020.

The Separation Movement of Counties is growing now that it is well understood that Democratic Socialists cannot or will NOT govern with a modicum of intelligence at the local level.

I have spoken to many county commissioners from states, where their counties are subservient to the dictates of Democratic Socialists Dingbats, and who are NOT qualified to govern or lead, are mostly ready to secede to other far better governed Red States.

Is it any wonder that these counties wish to join the state next door, like the states of Washington's and Oregon's eastern counties now begging to secede to Idaho for example?

Washingtonian: My position will always be: These Beaufort County ELECTED officials need to be smart enough to not be so easily taken advantage of.

Obviously that was not the case.

And Gavin Newsome wants to be president ...

Just another Idiot Democratic Socialist, but with better hair.
