Commented on Slaying dragonsIf deep down, you have an inkling that you are a Dragon Slayer, but feel you life lacks the power to go up against the hugeness of the world... STOP. Dont feeling that way, because it is a fact that a single grain of sand starts a landslide.
You can be that single grain of sand in this world, because one never knows what small things we do or say, may telegraph around our city, state, nation or world, and eventually change what today looks like the coming of a painful future.

Commented on Faith, family and freedomJohn Steed, you could easily be describing the USA Executive Branch, as well. Over the decades our Congress has surrendered so much of its power to the WhiteHouse, tha WeThePpl are now living at the mercy of all old fool, who wont live long enough to suffer with the rest of us, under the misery of a destroyed Republic.

Commented on Faith, family and freedomIts election time again, but it doesnt matter who we elect because the only thing that will change is the flavor of the corruption.
As long as we have a corrupt self-serving City Manager, the local corruption will continue. (Anyone checked his bank acct?) Why is no one ever held accountable? Because here and there, the people in govt, that are holding the dirt over each other, would rather hold it in secret, so that dirt can be weaponized to control each other, and silence each other. The manager controls all the incoming info, and can keep that knowledge from the elected ones, so that they can claim "plausible deniability." Dem or GOP... it is the system. The campaigners keep promising change and never deliver. They blame others. You all know this is true. I exclude Trump... he tried and is still trying to do the right things for WeThePpl. He is practically a martyr for the nation. God Bless Trump.

Commented on Faith, family and freedomYes its election time. The time when we may exchange 1 swamp creature for diff 1. And yes, a GOP swamp creature might be an improvement over a Democrat, its still a swamp creature. The rot begins with the city manager who hires, fires the useful idiots ... & promotes the Mayor's favorite agendas so that he can be sure of keeping his job.
So, voters take this as a warning, you cant take your eye off the prize (truth), because the rot will continue with a diff face. Bobby has been on the council a long time, but did nothing to stop the corruption at the Housing Authority. Why not? He wont answer the phone to explain himself. Maybe if you are 1 of the martini sippers he answers the phone 4u, but not others. I have personally heard Bobby say: I think a person should be able to do whatever he wants on his own land. As a conservative, at 1st I think yeah, me too. But then I realize, if 1 person is allowed 2 violate ordinances, then another citizens rights r being violated.

From one Dragon Slayer to another. Thank u Gary Ceres, for exposing the corruption n city govt
Its seems most here hav their hair on fire abt national politics, but have little interest n the local Rot that affects them daily. Maybe the martini sippers as Ceres calls them, are silent because they like the idea of rubbing elbows w the local "small town" powerbrokers. These Sippers were silent when the corrupt govt cheated their neighbors, & eventually (this is a truism) there will be no one left to speak for them, when big govt comes to smother them. It all reminds me of SC's stealing, lying, murdering attorney Alex Murdaugh. He would be at home in our City. Gary Ceres has been trying to obtain public records, but the corrupt system finds it easy to just ignore. It ignores all of us bec we keep electing th same dishonest,or just incompetent Council ppl over & over again. Over 3mo. & we get NOTHING from th Housing Authority. What r they hiding? Why isnt your hair on fire over this?

"I'd estimate well above 90% of Republicans and Democrats are either leveraged, blackmailed or bought and paid for by entities outside of our country. You wanna know why we have a shit show on our hands? Because almost every one of them answer to someone other than We The People." quoted from: @JohnRich on X.
Warning: You must recognize similar grifters among those in WashingtonNC. With our hair on fire, we keep asking, why does the USA citizens keep electing these grifters? Well I ask... why does WashingtonNC keep reelecting the same kind ruinous self-serving officials? You want change? Vote the scoundrels out.

Commented on How I see the Washington City Council CandidatesIf we want to change the corruption and lack of accountability in Washington,NC then we should all agree to vote the scoundrels out!
The council members we have now, are all a bunch of lazy "do nothings," sitting on their thumbs and waiting for the city manager to tell them what to think. Such people have not earned our vote. Choose the "refresh" button. Of course the voters always get the govt. they deserve. Right?

The dogs, bats, cats are the least of Washington's problems and seems very mild, when we compare it to the corruption of Washington's Govt.
If we want to change Washington, then dont reelect any of the incumbents. They are ALL rubber stamps for the city manager. Call any one of them and ask them a question. Their first reply is..."I dont know, I will have to ask the city manager." All of them have said this to me. Lastly, all of the staff are dependent on the city manager for their jobs. They either go along with his whims or things dont go well for them. Hence there is no justice in Washington,NC... only the will of our city dictator and his puppets who confirm his demands. If you are one of the privileged, the laws dont apply to you. Its been this way for a long time... how about voting out the scoundrels?
