These are YOUR people destroying my Republic, and then you cast shade upon those of US trying to save it from your Non Patriot Left.

You talk about history, Big Bob, this infamous history that is being now written regarding the Non Patriot Left will mortally wound this political movement charged in the destruction of this Constitutional Republic.

Your Non Patriot Left will fail; the question is, however: How much damage will be ultimately done.

Big Bob: What in your Corrupt Leftist world are you talking about? The patriots in congress are building a case against rampant Institutional Corruption.

You do know that the rest of us are NOT corrupt and certainly Not stupid like your kind.

Good one CV: I cringe every time I hear an Elitist Fool state these stupid words; now they become funny for a short bit.

At this point in my life, I consider sloth and low ambition as possible character flaws that the People my have trouble defending and thus sustaining going forward, as all the World now, and all of what has always been real is suddenly closing in.

RH: That is good news ... Another RINO bites the dust.

Big Bob: Keep parlaying your Leftist MAGA Extremist invective, and you too might secure the Stupid Trophy, just as your Idiot President did, winning the equivalence of Stupidest President in United States History Grand Prize ... Never again to be equaled; count on it.

Then again Big Bob, you may have properly read the Ignorant Non Patriot Left; however, as an optimist, I am a believer that the Leftist Stupids are shrinking in quantity, and there will come a day when grandfathers will recount to their relatively smarter grand children the exact time that they, these former Leftists, OPENED their EYES to what was real, and were part of the evolving movement that STOPPED the Stupids from serving in elected office.

I agree that history should be taught as honestly as we know all the information available to do so.

An example of such: I agree that killing over a million buffalo to feed railroad workers, while starving the plains Indians was incredibly cruel and stupid on many fronts.

I agree that slavery was wrong, but that it was no more of a South issue than it was a North issue. The War Between the States could have NOT been fought, and slavery still ended by negotiations if all parties were realistic and fair.

That is the way I see the teaching of history, but I do not write the books.

Speaking again of history, I was just afforded information that a poll suggests that 63% of all within the Millennial and GenZ generations believe that there was NO Holocaust of the 20th century, or were not aware of it. Many of the balance (37%) of those polled were unclear on the particulars of that atrocity.

Now, if it is parents fault or the fault of the Education Industry, or the abject stupidity of Social Media as currently present, is real positive change in order? Will you make that stand for positive change?

What is frightening, these two generations are the highest educated in American history, and many of them are not even smart enough to vote ... but vote they do.

Wait, could it be that Idiot President Biden really did win the election fair and square after all, and it is just that there are so many stupid, but highly educated Americans of voting age, that The Fool President was, without any hint of chicanery, truly elected to represent this "highly educated" class of our electorate?

The real truth: The Public Education Industry, and the public at large need to be tuned up right now, with all haste. "Time is of the essence" on this major issue of correcting the chronically dull, and it needs to start right NOW.

I stand fully for School Choice to destroy the monopolistic paradigm of Public Education Industry. Will you?

Big Bob; You talk about history as if it is a golden goose that will feed you exactly what you want, what you need to create workable solution, where one does not exist to satisfy your specific Leftist precepts.

History is built upon many things, but first and foremost is human nature. When you skew what is real about human nature, you end up not understanding what went on before your time Big Bob, so that is possibly what leaves you so lost and gasping for what is real, which is unattainable for your Leftist code built upon the broken footers of a cracked foundation.

To reiterate one more time, this FOIA request should be honored as soon as possible to remove this claimed cloud against the City of Washington government.

Exactly, John Steed, in your second paragraph, which is almost exactly what I experienced, and yes, exactly, it is ultimately the responsibility of the politician enriched, and to a lesser extent, the other board members and staff are not completely absolved of some liability in any matter of this kind, depending on their position in the issue.

In these issues, being stupid is NOT a defense. In fact, I would argue that the Stupid Defense does not work for any of the parties in a conflict of interest issue.

Once again, I would like to reiterate: This is why all public dealings, where the public's issues are dealt with must be done in public, preferably recorded for posterity by camera.

In government: "Sunshine is the greatest disinfectant."

There always has to be a request for recusal, not necessarily a recusal.

If it was me, and it has been me on occasion, I have always requested a recusal, actually I have argued for it when I did not feel comfortable.

And in every case, there was a huge public need that no one else could provide, nowhere in this region, not just Beaufort County, and that is proved.

Maybe this why, I have to believe that red flag discussions must have been held in public. There has to be minutes to that effect; video is always better.

I do believe I have said his before, "as a long time county commissioner who has proved to know conflict of interests statutes better than most", and that includes local board attorneys /administration types, I cannot see how this was allowed to occur as you have presented this Concerned Taxpayer. This is such an obvious infraction that red flags would have been available for all to see. Only the intentionally blind would have missed this; the statutes are clear.

You, and maybe Gary, have gotten all of this just a little bit, or maybe a lot wrong.

I am sure this could all be solved by the City government just laying it out there for folks to pick through.

On another issue, a constitutional issue, which you just inadvertently helped me make Big Bob, Gary should not be forced to go to court to prove anything, especially where his government is concerned. He is more than welcome to use his 1st Amendment guarantee of Freedom of Speech to seek redress, and in particular for Gary Ceres, his guaranteed Free Speech is political speech.

The government does not have to do a thing if it wishes to try to wriggle out of that whole transparency paradigm ... but, then again there are the courts, but better yet, there is this inconvenient system of elections every few years.

Changes can be made then, and they can be made at the political drop of a hat. That we should all be well aware of.

One more comment, this time about about the clustered mess of the School Board's seating arrangement before I move on.

It is feasibly and technically impossible to record these meetings without exclusively concentrating on separate headshots of the person speaking, which will require multiple cameras and extensive editing, or ... one camera that must charge to the sound of whoever is speaking, which will make the meetings very difficult to watch due to the lag time in voice and the filming of that person who is recognized to speak.

It is as if the governing body's inane layout is planned for perfect imperfection of purpose.

Actually, to put forth a fully truthful and knowledgeable expression of what is real, the Beaufort County Commissioners elected to stop using Randy Walker before 2020, probably before December, 2018, when I was re-elected to the board of county commissioners as a nonincumbent; that vote being another successful initiative by the Center-Left Coalition, led by Commissioners Jerry Langley and Frankie Waters. While I cannot immediately remember if this was yet another vote where I voted on the losing side supporting full transparency, I am most certain that the initiative to end the recording of the commissioners' meetings and the school board's meetings was yet another Center-Left Coalition initiative won by majority vote.

As far as there be no money allocated by the commissioners to the school board, a separate political body, to promote this school district's full transparency through building a full record of their public proceedings, I have to believe that their NOT filming their meeting is purely a matter of their own political choice.

To express a finer point here, since the school board has the largest budget governed by any governing board in this county, and chooses to spend a wealth of money on billboards and advertisements exclusively in Left of Center publications, one must believe that all honest Beaufort County citizens, with a full working brain, would consider that not better advertising the local public schools by employing the full transparency application afforded today's governmental outreach - at a fractions of the cost that has been required through aforementioned targeted advertisement - would be a far wiser form of allocation of tax payer funding of local public education.

To be adamantly honest, it truly is a matter of choice by the Beaufort County Schools' administration of the budgeting of precious resources funded by the public, thus allocated by the Beaufort County School Board and their administration.

George Soros picking up the mantle of evil is always the natural progression for the committed Non Patriot Left.

I actually agree with you on this one Big Bob.

One will slip up, and find a competent moral compass in a police precinct far quicker than they will within the pinnacle of the Education Industry.

Plus, evidence needs to be collected immediately and in a perfect manner.
