RH is exactly right. The authoritarian progressives among us want to extinguish the due process rights of the citizenry. Their big knee jerk excuse for doing this is to keep us safe from the crazy shooters. Of course, this progressive tactic is completely illogical.

Progressives want to erode people's protected rights in order to better control people. Those dummy or misguided followers of progressives haven't figured out that the end of protected rights might end up affecting them too. They are so focused on cancelling the rights of others that they have not figured that out.

This country does have a mental health problem. That problem does need to be addressed. This country has a serious border violation problem that is probably our biggest national security threat. We also have a very serious problem with governmental agencies that have run amuck with corruption and gone power mad. They are a threat to the American people.

The assassinations and attempted assassinations over the last 65 years are another issue entirely in relation to the gun rights issue. We are well overdue for an honest, serious investigation and study of those assassination events.

That's right. Ron did teach at Snowden. I think it was his first job in education.

Here's the good news: The 8.20.24 school board meeting is finally up. Here's the bad news: There is no sound for the first 25 minutes of the meeting.

I am aware that members of the Aurora and surrounding communities were going to that meeting, so I called a school board member to verify. Sure enough, the sound was cut for all the speakers from the public which included a number of speakers from Aurora. Also found that board member Hickman made a statement that was not heard on the tape either. Hum. Coincidence?

I've been hearing some rumblings from that part of the county. I think I'm putting my money on those folks having a legitimate gripe.

Mr. Rader - I too have seen a fair number of board situations, and I've not seen anything like this. My take on it is this is what you get when a very weak board hires an authoritarian superintendent. I think it is interesting that the three newest members are being treated this way as their welcome to the board. I know a little about some of the members and not so much about some of the others. I do know enough about the three newest members to know they are all over-qualified for this position, so they have got to know how weird this is.

None of the many questions concerning this assassination attempt been answered. That is very troubling.

Proverbs 26:11.

I'm hearing plenty from my sources in the UK. None of that makes me smile.

What have I gotten from this interesting discussion?
1) We need to change the power balance on the BC Commission.
2) We need to change the power balance on the BC School Board. 3) Be Be the resident troll is suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, TDS, HDS, and racism. 4) Alcoholism????
5) Just what is a looser?

Granted the corporate mainstream media is mostly a propaganda organization, but even so 71 to 86% of Biden voters must be some of the most ignorant people on planet earth.

That damned Trump forcing people to be assassins. That damned Trump forcing crooked district attorneys to prosecute him on false charges. That damned Trump making FBI agents present false dossiers to judges. That damned Trump making Democrats (and establishment RINOs) impeach him twice for nothing. That damned Trump forcing mainstream corporate media ridicule him 24/7. That damned Trump causing earthquakes and storms. That damned Trump causing pestilence and disease. That damned Trump! Damn Trump for everything!!

Tim Walz teaching social studies is about like having Karl Marx leading the class. Concerning Kamala Harris: Her word salads more times than not are outright communist statements. This presidential ticket may be the most openly communist ticket in United States history.

There's a lot of rotten stuff going on in Beaufort County with no consequences even when fraud has been proven. That being the case, no rational thinking citizen should approve any expenditure to any one of these schemes since there will be no fiduciary accountability. Watchful citizens crave transparency and accountability on these issues. Instead, we get a stone wall from five commissioners that have placed themselves above their duties to the public.

Get real. The dude took the pay and benefits and shirked the duty. Real soldiers know the type.

We get it. Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. Progressive attack dogs can deflect at will, but it does not change the fact that it was Tim Walz that misrepresented his military service record, not any other candidate on this presidential ticket. Tim Walz insinuated himself into being a combat veteran. Tim Walz misrepresented his rank. That's stolen valor and real veterans see it for what it is: A sleazy politician puffing himself up for personal gain.
