Most wokesters on school boards and in school administration are not this blatant. They tend to operate by stealth, and use terms like "diverstiy", "Equity", and "inclusion" as cover, their definition of those terms grossly distorted from their original meaninss. They recognize that people are onto Critical Race Theory so they shy away from that term.

Here in Beaufort County, "woke" has raised its ugly head with the proposal to adopt a woke curriculum for Social Studies that fits in with NCDPI's radical new Social Studies programs. It is highly suspect that this new local program was likely passed from NCDPI to the local superintendant who assembled a committee that would rubberstamp what he asked them to do. It was telling that when conservative school board members questioned that committee about what was in the full plan, not just the sales pitch, they looked like a deer in the headlights, started to stammer, and could not give any answers. That suggested that either they had rubberstamped the proposal without looking at the details themselves, or that they had looked at it, knew it was bad, and did not want to answer. Either way, this SAVVAS curriculum is clearly not what we need.

The more subtle wokesters are sometimes the most dangerous, and so are the useful idiots who go along with things they should not.

Florida and Texas have worked hard to take "woke" out of their schools. Why not adopt a curriculum used there? Also Hillsdale College produces solid K-12 curricula. School boards need to particularly beware of anything coming out of the NC Department of Public Instruction, as the state school board, stacked with lefties by Governor Roy Cooper, has approved a radical recommended social studies curriculum. There was a high profile fight over that as the conservative minority and Lt. Governor Mark Robinson fought hard to try to stop it. We do NOT need "woke" in our schools. Call your school board members.

One of the most fundamental rules of medicine is "first, do no harm". Procedures that assist patients in self-harm would not pass muster under that principle, whether it is assisted suicide or genital mutilation. But it is clear that someone who supports one type of self harm would likely be okay with another.

Oh, and Big Bob, legal "assisted suicide" is NOT legal in "many" US states. In fact, most Americans doing that have to go abroad to do it.

One could also call assisted suicide an elective medical procedure.

It appears that many doctors who are pushing genital mutilation are failing to warn of its very common and very serious side effects. It also appears from studies that at least among children, these "medical procedures" increase the risk of suicide, not a good outcome.

The National Health Service in the UK has advised its doctors that in the majority of cases, gender dysphoria among children is a passing phase that they grow out of. They further advised against hormone therapy, surgery, or even suggesting they use a different name or pronouns.

Gender dysphoria is a mental disorder like pyromania or kleptomania. Encouraging wayward ideas is not the way to treat any of these for the good of the person suffering that condition.

Today's doctors who sexually mutilate children are no better than Dr. Frankenstein. They are no different.

"Renewable energy" (wind and solar) has not proven either reliable or reasonably priced anywhere it has been imposed by government. Germany imposed it like Comrade Cooper is trying in NC, and their Energie Wende (energy transition) has left Germany with the highest electric rates in the world, over three times what we in North Carolina pay, and they have only been able to avoid blackouts by importing coal fired power from Poland and nuclear power from France. Cooper is pushing far left ideology over common sense.

Agencies like the CPSC and EPA need to be stripped of power to make law through bureaucratic regulations. They should not have the power to do things like this without Congress. Unelected bureaucrats are way too powerful and need to be chopped down to size. It is essentially facsist rule by decree.

Actually, the political polling shows that those who want wide open abortion are a relatively small group and hardcore lefties. Those who want to ban all abortions are also a fairly small group. Most people prefer to allow some abortions but very limited. A candidate who supports banning all abortions except for rape, incest, and the life of the mother has a winning position, for example.

A proven, fully tested vaccine is one thing, but an experimental vaccine from a new process that is far from fully tested is quite another, and the mRNA vaccines for Covid fall into the latter category. No one should be compeeled to take them, and government agencies that promote them should give full discloaures and warnings. As it turned out, the herd immunity approach, that was proposed early on by one of the world's leading virologists and epidemiologists at Oxford University, was the best way to go, not the totalitarian lockdowns. Sweden proved that herd immunity worked best. Its public health authorities are to be commended, unlike those like Fauci who followed Red China. Chine is proving right now that lockdowns are a time bomb that will eventually blow up on you.

One thing that is also needed is to reinstate the Hastert Rule, used by the last half decent GOP House leader, Denny Hastert. That said that nothing was put on the floor for a vote unless a majority of the GOP caucus agreed, and anything that a majority of the caucus wanted to go to the floor did so. That rule is also very badly needed in the NC General Assembly.

In meddling in primaries, it is not just the 1st District in eastern NC where McCarthy has meddled, but also our own 3rd District, when it became vacant after Walter Jones death. We keep to get the Washington, DC saamp OUT of our local primaries. McConnell is also horrible on that one.

If McCarthy will come to Jesus on some of the key issues, then maybe they can settle on him, but I would rather see someone more trustworthy and without his baggage.

I like the weekly commentary on the Ukraine war on the conservative site Redstate by a former US infantry officer. Here is a sample:

Mitch McConnell is also incredibly unpopular with the voters, with positive ratings down in the single digits, which makes him a drag on the whole GOP Senate ticket. His rating with voters is much worse than Biden or Pelosi or GOP House leader McCarthy. One post election poll put his positive rating at 8% and another at 7%, while his negative ratings are in the 70s. McConnell is unpopular with everybody - Republicans, Independents, and Democrats, although ironically his most favorable numbers come from Democrats.

A Senate race in Colorado several election cycles back show McConnell's distain for both conservatives and the grassroots. In Colorado, the easiest way to get on the primary ballot is to win over a certain percentage of the state GOP convention vote, and the less easy way is by petition. Usually, two to three candidates get enough convention votes to make the primary ballot, but that year, grassroots support was so strong for a black conservative county commissioner that he took the convention by storm and was the only one making the primary ballot from the convention. McConnell's annointed candidate, a squishy state legislator, had to get on by petition. When the votes were counted in the primary, the black conservative county commission won by a wide margin, while McConnell's candidate ran a distant fourth. Initial polls for the general election showed a tight race, but McConnell in a huff announced his PAC was pulling out of Colorado because the nominee could not win. The Republican nominee's campaign took a big hit on fundraising from McConnell's knife in the back and ended up losing the seat. McConnell plays a "rule or ruin" game with conservatives.

Commented on Great Expectations

Moore County is a good example of how to do it. They have already put out their Parents Rights policy and the new conservative chairman is putting cameras in the classrooms up for discussion. They are moving. The school bureaucracy will do all it can to slow things down and they should not get away with that. dailyhaymaker.com

That YIMBY business of Woodcox tracks national Democrat policy of trying to break down things like zoning laws and scatter pockets of the ghetto through middle class neighborhoods. He is backing Democrat policy in that endeavor. The Dems are trying to do that all over the country. And this guy claims to be a Republican? Horsehockey!

Has the local school district changed the name of the Christmas Break to "Winter Break"? If so, they are part of the far left War on Christmas. Real Americans need to make sure that gets changed back. Calling it "winter break" is total wokeness. The Beaufort County Schools still call it "Christmas Holidays" but some "woke" districts do not.

Beaufort County schools need a solid policy to keep boys out of the girls restrooms and locker rooms. Do we have one?

I knew that Catherine Truitt was a phony when she immediately hired a very liberal Democrat as her chief deputy superintendant. Real Republicans hire conservatives in their key staff positions, not liberal Democrats. Since then it has been one thing after another where she has been caught taking the liberal position. This fake has earned a very strong primary challlenge in 2024. This firing is just the latest incident, and they just keep coming with her.

I wonder if McConnell really wanted to win a Senate majority. He seems more comfortable being a minority leader and doing the Democrats' bidding, as he is doing now with his omnibus to negate the new GOP House majority. A few election cycles back, Mitch McConnell even vowed to "crush them everywhere" speaking of conservative Republicans, NOT Democrats. "Candidate quality" is McConnell's code phrase for a candidate more conservative than he wants. McConnell's actions and statements during the 2022 campaign were NOT those of someone wanting to elect a Republican majority.

Google is rabidly anti-privacy and anti-free speech. Conservatives need to get Google out of their lives in more ways than just dumping their corrupt search engine. They block free speech and invade your privacy lots of other places, too. Use G-mail? There are lots of better alternatives that don't record your data. Have an Android phone? Get one that has been de-Googled. There are several different alternative operating systems, and you can find many options on eBay that do NOT send reports back to Google. There are also the FreedomPHone and ClearPhone that use the Clear Operating System, with nothing connected to Google.

The big problem is poor Republican leadership, in the Senate, the House, and at RNC, specifically Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and Ronna Romney McDaniel.

Mitch McConnell withdrew funding from conservative GOP candidates who were in close Senate races to divert it to the campaign of RINO Lisa Murkowski, whose opponent was not a Democrat but conservative Republican Kelly Tshibaka. He also finished the campaign with $40 million in the bank unspent. McConnell was never interested in a GOP majority, only power for himself. McConnell's extreme unpopularity with voters also made him a lead anchor for GOP candidates. Polls show McConnell is viewed favorably by only 8% of voters and unfavorably by 71%. A competent and charasmatic leader would have won the Senate for the GOP, but McConnell was just not up to that task.

McCarthy is not quite as bad as McConnell but his ineptitude showed when he bungled the attempt to follow Newt Gingrich's Contract with America. McCarthy also wasted a lot of House Republican campaign money fighting conservatives in primaries instead of Democrats in the general election. $4 million of that waste was in the neighboring 1st district of North Carolina primary and McCarthy's RINO candidate, Sandy Roberson, lost the primary anyway.

Ronna McDaniel was incredibly inept at leading the RNC as well, but after three failed terms, she is seeking a fourth.

Frankie Waters saying he is a Republican is like some of these "transgender" boys saying they are girls. The facts do not bear out their claims. I guess we could call Waters a "transpartisan", just another type of tranny.

Nullification of tyrannical laws like gun grabs by not enforcing them when they infringe on our liberties is exactly why we need elected sheriffs instead of appointed county police chiefs.

Beaufort County's newly elected "Republican" state senator, RINO Jim Perry, played a major role in imposing this expensive wind and solar energy on North Carolina, which will see our electric bills explode upward in coming years. Can't Republicans come up with someone better than this dude? Why in the world should we have a Republican copy of John Kerry as our state senator? That is what primaries are for.

Our Beaufort County conservatives have only 3 of 9 seats on the board, but they need to press similar issues. Those holdovers who vote liberal need to be targeted for defeat in 2024.

Another Constitutional right Biden is attacking is our 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms, which follows Hitler and Stalin who also attacked gun rights. Ironically, Lenin did little against gun rights, but it was his more brutal successor Stalin who did. Hitler's 1938 Reich Gun Law is still in force in Germany.

Biden is following the exact same path as Stalin, wanting to limit guns in private hands to single shot versions. If Biden is so set on this, why does he not demand that his own security forces also be limited to single shot pistols and rifles? Biden is a huge hypocrite. His Secret Service guards have fully automatic weapons which ordinary Americans cannot normally get.

Then there is the FBI and DOJ which are becoming a partisan secret police on the model of the old East German Stasi, if not the KGB and Gestapo.

GOP messaging from the top - McConnell and McCarthy - was very substandard, especially with McConnell. These two incompetents should have been dumped from leadership due to their inept performance in messaging this election. Abortion turned out liberal voters and the GOP should have done better messaging there. The GOP was completely asleep at the switch on explaining how the Democrats green new deal will drastically raise electricity prices. That was a kitchen table issue for families budgets that the GOP totally missed. Our idiot senators and congressman rewarded failure by keeping McConnell and McCarthy in their leadership roles, and that is just disgusting.

Mitch McConnell is a traitor and he simply must be taken out of his leadership position. We need a GOP Senate leader who is actually on the side of Republicans and who leads.

The problem on too many school boards is members who think the superintendant is the boss and they are the employees instead of the other way around. The elected leaders need to bring the education deep state to heel.

Whisper campaigns, like the one being run by Rogerson's supporters misrepresenting Hammonds positions on issues, are the very dirtiest form of politics. It is common in politics to raise issues about opponents, and I have no particular problem with that as long as it is done openly where the opponent has a chance to respond. Since whisper campaigns are usually based on untruths, they are done underground, making it hard for an opponent to respond. Rogerson does not misrepresent Hammond's positions on issues at candidate forums or in advertising, where Hammonds could respond but his supporters are doing it in an organized word of mouth campaign.

Another whisper campaign by Rogerson's supporters is directed at Republicans, telling them Rogerson will switch parties if he is elected. That is clearly a lie after he took $5,000 from liberal Democrat kingmaker Harman Gaskins, but they hope some Republicans may fall for it.

On Scott Hammonds stance on guns, I have heard him speak to that issue in person. Hammonds will protect the Constitutional rights of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. The only guns he will take away are those of criminals, including convicted felons who are not allowed to have guns under our state laaws.

Stan, it is shocking that the Rogerson crowd is going after people in other races just because they support Hammonds. Who wants someone who holds grudges like that as sheriff? You do not seem to be the only one. After State Representative Keith Kidwell made radio ads for Hammonds, some of Rogersons campaign people working his tent at early voting told Kidwell that they were going to "get" him in the next election. We don't need the Rogerson crowd anywhere near the sheriff's office.

There is not enough control in the Beaufort County schools to stop radical teachers from using CRT, gender ideology, and related radical and obscene materials and concepts in the classroom. We have a superintendent who looks the other way and a rubber stamp school board. There was a boy invited to speak at Washington High School recently on "transitioning" to a girl and to encourage other students in this destructive path. Fortunately, we have three conservative running for the school board who will address such issues.

My son voted yesterday and said the sign for that radical Lucy Inman had been moved from Corey Rogerson's tent to across from it, but the Rogerson sign is still there on the truck holding the sign. I guess Rogerson got enough heat for backing the radical Inman and got permission from his financial sugar daddy Gaskins to move the sign. He did not have enough brains to take his sign off of the truck or maybe Gaskins did not allow him to do that?
