So the big spender anti-taxpayer coalition rides again. Disgusting. Frankie Waters is a puppet on a string to Jerry Langley and our liberal big-spending county manager. One could say they are spending like drunken sailors, but at least drunken sailors are spending their own money, not that of the taxpayers. Watch them try to mortgage our county to the hilt for their unneeded big new jail.

Climate alarmism is the biggest doomsday cult in history; a Chicken Little mentality on steroids. It needs a stake driven through its heart.

Can we get Frankie Waters to resign as a commissioner, too? Maybe then some of this stupid spending the county has been doing will end and we can get our taxes down.

Sam Bankman-Fried is the new Bernie Madoff, and like Madoff, he is a Democrat contributor and even a much bigger one, sedond largest Democrat contributor this election year, and now it is clear that was with stolen money. What also needs to be investigated is the role of another crypto company, Binance, in keeping this under the radar until after the election, a clearly partisan move. When FTX reached the point of collapse weeks ago, which would have been a pre-election disaster for Democrats, Binance came forward and talked about buying FTX to rescue it. FTX was a Ponzi scheme train wreck and that was never going to happen, but it staved off the explosion until after the election. Then several days after the election, Binance said "never mind".

Frankie Waters is a Backwater Biden. He likes to spend other peoples money to try to buy votes. I hope the voters are smart enough to turn him out this election.

Perry's role in forcing the NC Green New Deal down our throats is reason enough to throw the bum out, but his pushing the Obamacare Medicaid expansion is almost as bad. With "Republicans" like Jim Perry, who even needs Democrats? I like the idea of expressing my disgust with Perry by writing in Bill Cook, who was always dependable in voting for the taxpayers, and wish I had heard about it before I voted.

What does Frankie Waters think he is? The best politician that MONEY CAN BUY? Listening to the video tape of the candidate forum it is very clear that Frankie Waters stated he did not owe conservatives anything because they had not paid him any money. It would be interesting to go back and track who benefited from Waters' votes and how much they paid him.

This is indeed Bernie Sanders socialist plan implemented in Beaufort County. We knew Frankie Waters was a spendthrift. He always has been with the taxpayers' money. But to embrace Bernie Sanders' socialism is a new low for him. I am very surprised and shocked however at Randy Walker voting for this Sander's socialism. I had expected better from him.

The only two commissioners willing to stand up against Bernie Sanders socialism appear to be Stan Deatherage and Hood Richardson. They called this scheme out for what it is, socialism.

The video of the commissioners meeting is clear. The budget does NOT restrict that free tuition money to US citizens. That issue is left up to the community college, and the president of the community college had told the commissioners he wanted to fund tuition for illegal aliens. One of the Democrats on the commission majority openly said he supported that and the rest of the majority did not care. Only conservatives Deatherage and Richardson expressed concern about Beaufort County taxpayers money being used to pay for illegal aliens. Most of the discussion on that issue happened about ten or more minutes into the video. The video shows that five of our commissioners knowingly facilitated use of our county taxpayers money to fund tuition for illegal aliens at the community college. Shame on them.

The really destructive group is the global warming crowd, a pagan cult that ought to be called Climate Scientology.

Spendthrift Frankie Waters lied to the voters of Beaufort County in his first election by pledging to oppose building a new jail. He is a big spender and a Democrat-in-Drag. Waters first choice would be to borrow the money without voter approval if he could get away with it. I do not believe they have time to set up a bond referendum for November.

Rev. Wortman's religious background may mean she sees conservatism only through the lens of social issue conservatism. She may not comprehend what a fiscal conservative is. She clearly does not understand the conservative approach to taxing and spending.

On our present county commission, we only have two strong fiscal conservatives, Stan Deatherage and Hood Richardson. On the other end of the spectrum are the three spendthrifts who vote in lockstep to keep taxes high with their overspending - Frankie Waters, Ed Booth, and Jerry Langley. They are three peas in a left wing pod on spending. The other two commissioners vacillate back and forth on spending issues, sometimes voting as fiscal conservatives and sometimes as spendthrifts.

Longtime Republican Congressman Walter Jones was mentioned earlier, and he was cut from the same cloth on budget votes as Deatherage and Richardson. In representing our district, he was a very strong fiscal conservative, and he routinely voted against any budget that overspent, and that was almost every budget. There were times that RINO Speaker Boehner would do a budget deal with Obama and twist arms of Republicans to vote for it, but Walter Jones always said NO and voted for the taxpayers, not the swamp. Deatherage and Richardson have the same backbone on spending issues. We need more like them. Hopefully Tandy Dunn will put spendthrift Frankie Waters out to pasture.

Conservative policy outcomes? They left out the Green New Deal, the RINOs in the General Assembly imposed on us, a huge shift to the left that will cost our electric ratepayers a bundle. They left out their attempt to give us the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. They left out the RINOs caving in to those who think men should be allowed in womens' restrooms and shower rooms. They left out the RINOs screwing up our election laws. They left out Tim Moore's spineless refusal to let the Parents Bill of Rights go to a vote. Conservatives can do A LOT better in the General Assembly.

Glad to see Tucker laying this out. Too many conservatives are afraid to challenge this climate nonsense. Heck, we have RINO leaders in the NC General Assembly, Tim Moore and Phil Berger who are in bed with these lefties. So is the "conservative" prime minister of the Netherlands.

Jim Perry does not seem to care what the "little people" think. He is all about the special interests. I read on another site that a delegation of party activists from Craven County went to Perry's office to ask him to vote against the Obamacare Medicaid expansion and part of what Perry told them was "I don't represent you." Craven County IS within Perry's new district, so that comment was apparently NOT based on geography but upon his distain for those who work in the GOP. The idea of writing in someone else on the Libertarian line on the November ballot is a good one.

That is badly needed Stan. We have had too many instances of insider shananigans with bidding in Beaufort County. You have hit the high points of transparency and fairness.

Biden's college loan giveaway is nothing but corrupt vote buying with the taxpayers' money. The timing of it makes that obvious. This is just one more reason he should be impeached.
