“Stacey loves to talk about the economy, globalization and what it means for all our futures, not just children.”

“I hold a degree in Public Relations with a large concentration on globalization”

What exactly do these statements mean?

Because Bob the “mask” is an attack on everything this country was founded on. We know all men are created equal in the image of God. Who is God, but the fountain of life and waters of healing. Do we think, we, being made in the image of God, should be afraid of a microscopic germ? There has been sickness and death since the beginning.

“Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

To say you are “looking out for others” by wearing a mask, is a bit of a reach. As it is nowhere in the constitution that any man has the right to be safe. Safety, like happiness is a frame of mind, and not something that men or government can grant an individual.

For example, some may say that tyranny, oppression, and martial law would make them feel safe, but to me, I would feel less safe.

John, I would love to try some of that baked potato the writer was supping on

Also a few days ago, after my previous post, another friend of mine told me about some schools in Hertford County supplying litter boxes for students. Knowing what I know now, I was quite honestly speechless to hear it again. What is really going on?

If you’ll notice in the published photos of school board members, Mr. Hickman appears able to stand on his own accord. Many others have been propped up.

There are members of this school board who thought that mask mandates were somehow a good idea, and did not perceive them to be a psychological operation and the absolute assault on individual liberty that they are. They had no problem mandating that all have to symbolically muzzle themselves, but made it clear that some of their own children were to be exempt for valid reasons.

When others were to present their reasons for not wanting to mandate a civil infringement upon all students, then those arguments were deemed invalid. What then is the definition of a hypocrite?

Other than the few, the rest of the board seems incapable of understanding the issue is not whether or not the teachers are doing a good job.

Teachers should be empowered to become masters of their profession, and allowed to teach in the best way they see fit to yield the learning of the material. I’m sure all of our teachers truly care for the children and want them to learn. All of my schooling was done in this school system and all of my teachers were wonderful.

The issue is with the programs and ideas that seem to need to be force fed because they are inedible by themselves. Through many words and much fluff they are disguised and washed down. If you ask a chef to make a filet mignon, but the only ingredients you supply him with are horsecrap and bread; then it’s going to take a lot of water to wash down the sandwich that is produced. This is like what we are doing to our great teachers. We must give them sound doctrine as a foundation to their teaching and allow their ingenuity to take the reins in their own classroom.

Update about litter box because Bob made me curious so I looked into it and found another freaking rabbit hole.

All I can really say is; WTF is going on in reality, because little did I know, the topic of “Litter Box in schools” itself is a so-called political urban myth that is occurring nationwide. Which took me by surprise because I was told this about local schools, in conversations with local individuals, who had some manner of relationship with the school system in general. This wasn’t some online conspiracy… or was it?

We are not ready for AI.

I do know that there are people who “identify” as animals though and I would not like to welcome that type of thinking around our county or our children.

One more thing, why in the Holy name of God do fourth graders need emails?

Cheeseman has received awards for being ”Superintendent of the year”from NERESA and the RTM Business Group. How does one receive honors pertaining to education, when schools in his jurisdiction are performing dismally? I’ll tell you.

The award was given for making them money. The recognition that Mr. Velveeta beams in is that of a group of slick salesmen. These organizations hold their retreats in fancy locations, hoping to lure in vain educators, who personally have nothing to offer students, so they gather together and congratulate each other on their bowel movements to make themselves feel important. Little do these educators know, but to the salesman hosting, it is a “who can bring the idiot with the deepest pockets” contest.

If your wondering what they are selling, you’d never guess….. Made to order, box-set, state of the art, high-tech, brand-spanking new, top of the line, melt your mind digital learning programs, (and more)

I mean the founder of RTM has a degree in psychosocial studies, not education. It might as well just say hypnotist. There is a direct correlation between failing scores, and digital lunacy. As soon as these purchased programs were implemented, the actual learning ceased. The rollout of digital learning was done in the shadow of Covid, so people would not see it as the absolute sink elbow water it is.

Most people don’t take the time to look into anything, but it scares how far a little research goes.

When it comes to statements, this one is true:

The students of BCS have literally been sold out by their Cheesecake of a superintendent, to the point he was given multiple awards. Think on it.

I’m still curious myself. Sources said it was Washington High School, but I can neither confirm nor deny. Like I said we can only hope not.

Sometimes my good fella I feel like I am crazy. That I must have been driven into madness if everyone else is sane.

Someone honestly tried to tell me, that there is a student at one of our Beaufort County Schools, that thinks their self to be some kind of cat/dog what have you. To the point now, get a load of this, that they are supplied with a litter box that they actually use! I wouldn’t believe it, but it was verified by others.

I mean I feel I just have to pause for people to wrap their minds around it……

There are 1000 things wrong with that, sanitation being the first. Really and truly, who is the sorry pathetic soul that has to clean that out? This student needs some real help along with one of those jackets that make you hug yourself. If I beheld a student, thinking they were an animal now to the point they are wearing ears, a tail, and using a litter box, and this student thought they were gonna come into the cafeteria and eat human food sitting at a table, I would tell them they are sadly mistaken. For the school is not an animal shelter and the cafeteria isn’t in the business of feeding strays. Animals must eat animal food, outside. Meow meow my friend.

You’re the one aiming to be the master debater. My stances are pretty much equivalent to any conservative. I’m saying to you if you seek to debate ideas then air your grievances attaching specifics to a person, place, or thing. Comments such as…….;

“Have I denied a white person a job, housing, education, seating in a restaurant and bank loans (to name a few)/
the policies you supported and continue to support seem to have no problem doing that to people of color.”
- Bobby Biggums

…… have zero tangible value. Instead it is the wild accusation of a racist individual. Other than the more prominent users of this site, you are completely unaware of the race of those making comments. By continuously trying to somehow make conversations about race, you expose yourself as a racist. Being there’s no racist until the one who comes about accusing of it. Doing so I would assume, because you have nothing helpful to add whatsoever.

A firm man like Hood is needed to even the scales because of Nancy boys. Hood has served the county for years and he has earned the respect he is due just being an elder alone. Why would folks run when they see him coming if it weren’t for a guilty conscience?

His generation doesn’t waste much time worrying about feelings but gets down to brass tax. Personally I’m glad to still have this generation around. If people would hold their conversations with this man in respect, instead of the condescending smirking manner I have witnessed at meetings, I’m sure they would get a lot further with him.

I may have missed this information but I’m curious, if Eastern is demolished and it will take two years to construct the new school, where do the students from Eastern go in the meantime?

In my opinion, Pandora’s box was opened once the first dollar was borrowed from the federal reserve. The federal reserve to the best of my knowledge is a private bank that prints the US Dollar. For example, say the government borrows 1000 in cash from the fed at 10% interest because there is always interest attached. The fed would print $1000 and give to the government but that is all they printed because that is all that was borrowed. So there is only 1000 printed dollars in existence but yet the government is on the hook for 1100. The extra 10% was never printed because it wasn’t borrowed, therefore it doesn’t exist.

In order to pay back the interest, the government would have to borrow it again thus receiving more dollars owed in interest that were never printed. The debt can never be payed back because once we borrowed we set about a motion with no end.
