Big Bob: "Voting by mail increases participation and is proven safe and secure.
Trump votes by mail."

This Democratic Socialist scheme is part of the many schemes that Non Patriot Left employed to successfully cheat in the 2020 Presidential Election to "elect" the Vegetable President, and the Non Patriot Left will continue to cheat as long as the People let them.

Some of our readers have expressed that 'all politicians are unclean or unqualified,' which I have naturally objected against; however, I will conclusively admit that former NC State AG (two terms), NC Governor Roy Cooper has abjectly proved to be both - unclean or unqualified.

Ole Coop's atrocious handling of Covid against all data to the contrary was one simple sign to know this truth. Roy Cooper will be far more pathetic than RINO Richard Burr and his companion of ideals Thom.

The one significant thing that Whatley has going for him is that he will listen to the wisdom of Mr. Trump, and should prove not to be a free thinking idiot like Burr and Tillis were.

Washingtonian: I will defend the honest politicians I know well, and those that I have the acute knowledge to know from far away.

The problem that remains is we need more of us.

Big Bob, there are not enough hours in the day to outline just how Non Patriot Leftists are a huge drag on the sustainability of this Republic. Every normal American knows that.

No right thinking American believes that Illegals should be allowed to pour into our nation of laws, and then once we get lawless vegetables, like the latest Democratic Socialist Idiot, out of the office of the executive, patriotic Americans are not going to enforce our immigration codes.

Big Bob: There is only one side to what is real.

JV: I know real estate quite well, and I know government even better, whereby, I am forced to declare Steed is correct: The Democratic Socialists, and the Non Patriot Left are completely responsible for the Inflation that got rolling hard during the Vegetable President's Administration.

The two main culprits that drove up housing inflation was mainly the over stimulus by the Democratic Socialists, and the Non Patriot Left when Covid was absolutely over, which was the worst supply and demand imbalance in history. The housing inflation situation was just as bad: The recruitment of Illegals by the The Democratic Socialists, and the Non Patriot Left to use for their nefarious political and non patriot purposes.

It is my estimation that the Democratic Socialist /Non Patriot infamous and planned treasonous invasions by Illegals is costing a minimum of 1/2 trillion dollars per year of tax payer dollars over and above any possible benefit these Illegals may economically provide.

This planned invasion will continue to cost We, The People until the problem is fixed, or this Constitutional Republic is dissolved by these terrible actions of the Democratic Socialists /Non Patriot Left.

Washingtonian: County Commissioners have very little leverage to affect the governing of cities, other than cut off the money, where county taxpayers might subsidize certain programs that The City might offer.

This I have voted to do in the last number of years, when I noticed that the corruption within the City of Washington government was far too pervasive.

Well Big Bob ... the Democratic Socialists and their accessories, the Non Patriot Left, cheating copiously by enough in the 2020 presidential election to elect the Vegetable President, also caught the patriots of this Republic by a very big surprise as well.

"J6," while literally uncalled for, was a very small price to pay for that level of widespread cheating for this incredibly Non Patriot President to serve ... as a vegetable.

You can rant and rave about "J6" ad nauseum, but the institutional corruption of election cheating, en masse, in that 2020 General Election had, and still has the unambiguous power to piss off good people.

The Non Tolerant Left has finally hit their eventual waterloo.

The only reason the Non Tolerant Left has made it this far is because of the pathetic parts of an abysmal Education Industry that conspicuously considered indoctrination the best avenue to educate our youth into becoming demented dolts willing to plow pitiful paths to their own demise rather than serve society as a whole by being patient citizens of good and worthy purpose.

Van Zant: Now that the ruling of Louisiana vs Callais, by the U.S. Supreme Court, is judging permanent, precedent setting clarification regarding our 14th Amendment's guarantees; which may now automatically stipulate that Beaufort County's school board is out of constitutional compliance with that Amendment's guarantee that voting citizens may NOT be afforded "Equal Protection Under Our Laws" here in Beaufort County, and furthermore, it should be immediately prudent that Beaufort County change their election method for school board members.

Truth Whatever: If I am not liberal enough for your RINO sensibilities, then that is your pathetic conundrum to unravel. I serve at the behest of my good conservative constituents, most of whom cannot stomach Fake Republicans, of which I am their antithesis.

You know Hood, I often claim the real Republicans I know, and work with, such as yourself, as The Real Republicans. I reckon I may need to rearrange my vernacular since I NOw have been informed that my semantics of differentiating that quality of Republicans between what is real, and what is NOT has been hijacked.

Ray, you are right!

Irrespective of the the Plan of Organization; the older edition, or its most recent revision, the core of the Beaufort County GOP will NOT respect its contents enough to follow it.

TruthBeTold ... As an alias with the protection of anonymity, you impress me as someone that "carries a great deal of weight" ... You also appear to be someone that is not a native of Beaufort County, someone who knows nothing of one who practices exhibiting the humility of real intelligence rather than the full fusillade of your bombastic blasts, which is your standard.

The real truth: Stan Deatherage and Hood Richardson, over the previous 35 years, have done as much, or far more than anyone you know to further the Real Republican party here in Beaufort County. That is just a plain inarguable fact that you do not have the raw command of wisdom to be familiar with due to, as per your usual, "ignorance is bliss" syndrome.

Van Zant: Of course, these are my sentiments exactly.

People of Beaufort County: Until the Beaufort County GOP turns itself around and toward the light of transparency, you would be wise to be distrustful of their ambitions.

Also, The FB post still exists; however, there are "hard copies" of the Statement.

Here is mine below:


"STATEMENT FROM CHAIRMAN CAROLYN GARRIS OF THE BEAUFORT COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY:

The Beaufort County Republican Party exists for one purpose -- that is to get Republicans elected.

I was very disappointed to read the latest Facebook comments by non-Republican Washington City Councilman Joe Davis where he blames the Beaufort County GOP Victory Committee for the City of Washington's current leadership crisis. Davis seems to feel the Republican Party is to blame because the sole GOP member of the council is young and a relative newcomer to politics, while harping that Republican strategy cost seats in last November's election.

That is asinine. So is Joe Davis.

Joe Davis voted against a tax cut he promised the voters. Now he wants former mayor Donald Sadler, defeated in the last election by the will of the voters, to fill the vacant city council seat after attacking his policies during the campaign. When the just fired city manager threatened to hold Davis accountable for violating city ordinances with his questionable business practices it was clear the man's tenure would be short-lived.

So how did all of this happen?

Last November’s City of Washington municipal races were decisive and I feel it is important for the people of Washington, and Beaufort County, to know the difference between the actual party and a group who calls themselves the Beaufort County Republican Conservative Club. The Beaufort County Republican Party has very strict rules which require us to support Republican candidates at all levels of office, which also includes “non-partisan” races. The Club which is run by Hood Richardson and supported by Stan Deatherage, and his publication Beaufort County Now and its sister the beaufortobserver.net, do not adhere to the same rules as required of the county party. Historically the club and those publications have supported many non-Republican candidates over the years and recruits these candidates via signs posted along the public road with no vetting other than one simply calling them up.

The party recruited and supported five Republicans for City Council. We worked hard to support each and every candidate and did so in a manner to promote true Republican and Conservative causes. The paid campaign materials approved by the Victory Committee such as radio ads and mailers promoted all five Republicans running for city council evenly and fairly. We were aware of the political reality that getting all five seats was nearly impossible however every one of our candidates was supported just as hard as the ones who were elected. And we have no regrets for doing just that.

Here is where the confusion lies. Hood and Stan’s PAC Club and online political publications acts as a defacto propaganda arm of this group that heavily supported and promoted then Candidate Joe Davis and viciously attacked one of the Republican candidates. There was much confusion in the community due to citizens not understanding the difference between the actual party itself and the Political Action Committee club and these named political propaganda sites run by Richardson and Deatherage. Richardson and Deatherage have worked hand in hand on the county commission for decades while their PAC/publications combination often serves to obfuscate the true facts.
Foremost, the party could not promote nor endorse Davis because he is not a member of the Republican Party. Secondly many rank and file Republicans had severe concerns regarding Davis and his very disturbing behavior at the Board of Elections once early voting began.

To say that Davis’ tenure on the City Council has been problematic and heavily scrutinized by the community would be an understatement. I have had many people reach out to me and members of our team with multiple concerns about the questionable behavior of Davis as an elected official.
To be crystal clear once more: Joe Davis is not a Republican but is a registered Unaffiliated candidate recruited by the club and supported by Richardson and Deatherage. The Beaufort County Republican Party in no way supported nor endorsed Davis.

The actions and behavior of Davis as an elected official have indeed drawn criticism and rightfully so. His candidacy and election was not due to the Republican Party but rests solely with Hood Richardson and Stan Deatherage and they should be examined for their intentions and motives in supporting this non-Republican in such a vital race. Joe Davis is not the type of individual a true conservative Republican would support; his attacks on the minority community and those of other religious beliefs are beyond the pale and should be called out by the citizenry.

The bottom line is the taxpayers here in Beaufort County are being burned at the stake with massive tax increases causing even more hardship to our fellow citizens while so-called political leadership plays vendetta games. Now Joe Davis is making noise about bringing the defeated Democratic Party mayor back into city government while a few political insiders, a couple who have been in elected office for decades, continue to govern with the tired political shell game that has gotten us where we are today.

Joe Davis is not a Republican. Hood and Stan’s club nor publications are not part of the Republican Party.

So why are they in such an awful hurry to replace an outgoing Republican council member with a defeated Democrat?

Surely there aren’t more land deals going around?"

Carolyn Garris, as chairman of the Beaufort County GOP, you should know better than to promote what is not true, especially against a Real Republican such as myself, who is running for office.

You should resign immediately.

Theresa: North Carolina's congressional Districts may be among the least gerrymandered in all of the United States, and the way one can discern this is to observe NC's congressional districts highly regular shape.

District One keeps Beaufort County intact, in one district. That is a good thing.
