Commented on DEI: The Billion-Dollar Zombie That Won’t Stay DeadCV: Good idea, but there is one holdup.
Tying funding to any DEI disallowance, will not pass with the current board of county commissioners because the Center-Left /Left Coalition will not back this issue tied to funding because funding is what they most enjoy; however, it is a good campaign issue until the real work can get done later, when there is a real Republican majority.

Commented on City of Washington Municipal Election PostmortemThe City of Washington elections were dictated by turnout, which was low, not historically, but low from what I am used to.
When I run for office, I talk specifically about issues that drive people to vote for either their personal, and, or patriotic concerns; hopefully for both. The key for higher turnout is education: First for the politicians in their speech; but, moreover, for the voting public in their better perception of that good and patriotic speech spoken and professed.

Commented on ‘Completely Irresponsible’: White House Rips Mamdani For Connecting Election Day Bomb Threats To TrumpAnd, now that this Islamist Mamdani is one of the leaders of the Democratic Socialist Party proves many fears and bolsters my hypothesis that sectors of our self-governed society are a proven poor product of our foundering public education system. This constant reminder will be a harbinger of doom if we can not right the intelligence level of those that make incredibly poor decisions while picking our leaders, especially in the corrupt city of New York.

Commented on Another Political Campaign BeginsSince Snowden has been well discussed, I will make this one salient observation: The willy nilly closing of Snowden will be a major campaign issue going forward, at least it will be for me, since, if re-elected within the structure of a new board of Beaufort County Commissioners that is majority Conservative, I will be able to lead to make the difference to keep the Snowden facility for the Aurora community, and, or continue this excellent learning plant as an outstanding educational resource.
This one thought provoking idea was one of my extemporaneous talking points at the so-called public hearing at Snowden before the Beaufort County Schools abject misadventure is closing down this important Beaufort County /Aurora landmark. If re-elected, Beaufort County will find a way to do what is right, as best we can at this point, to rectify a completely ignorant move in the administration of Beaufort County Schools toward the people of Aurora and Beaufort County regarding the Snowden Debacle.

Well, if the "Unknown 'Republican'" wishes to make himself known, he better speak loud and clear to real Republicans, and this publication is the touchstone of most real Republicans in this county of Beaufort. Maybe he can inform us all why he is better suited to serve as a Beaufort County School Board member rather than Conservative Charles Hickman.

Commented on Another Political Campaign BeginsVan Zant: Every general election that I have won for the Beaufort County Commission over the last two decades, I have felt that I was fighting more than just the Democratic Socialist party, and for the last two general election cycles it has gotten much worse.
I have a hunch that my primary for the my re-election will be greatly contested by the Beaufort County GOP RINOs. In this upcoming primary, although I do very well in Beaufort County General Elections, I will need every real Conservative in Beaufort County to find their way to the polls to enthusiastically vote for this one real, proven Conservative - Stan Deatherage - in the 2026 Republican primary. This may be the first, but will not be the only time that Conservative Stan Deatherage will be humbly asking for the wise votes of all real Conservatives.

When I ran for elected office, probably because of the RINOs that the Beaufort County GOP actively support, which are also my Democrat adversaries, there is no real spending of the money to support me and my Conservative constituents; just that "Forest Woman" running her fool RINO Whispering mouth at the GOP headquarters. There are questions that must be answered going forward; all real Conservatives know that.

Washingtonian: Good questions; however, I have been told by the three members of the Tax Cut Team that they will listen to me, and will learn whatever worthwhile I can impart.
As a Beaufort County Commissioner, I have developed a firm reputation as a free agent, and well knowledgeable about all levels of governing, and I promise that I will be paying close attention to the City of Washington to make sure there is a solid turn to the light of truly doing the People's business, which they have not for years.

Fortunately for the taxpayers of Washington, NC, SNI /ENCNOW had the distinct pleasure of working with Top Vote Getter Nick Fritz in his quest to guide the City of Washington from their brink of governmental insanity through insolvency, with a great big ole splash of corruption thrown in for good measure.
No Nonsense Nick Fritz not only was elected Washington's Mayor Pro Tem, but he is the natural legislative leader on the council, and I wish the entire City Government Godspeed in turning around a long inept government that has made huge governing blunders through malfeasance, and therefore has incurred much liability in failing, in all good governing conscience, to provide for the proper environment for conducting the People's business. Governing is serious business, and it is high time that the City of Washington treat it as such.

Disregard all lies from the Non Patriot Left and the propagandistic Media, the Democratic Socialists have shut down the government, and if you are reliant on SNAP, you will not be getting that benefit because the Non Patriot Left believes that you are as ignorant as they are, while they are playing politics with your food security, and the entire government for that matter.
This is the "Schumer Shutdown," and it is being perpetrated upon this Representative Republic because the Democratic Socialists, in the minority of the US Senate, would rather filibuster the issue rather than doing job in voting to open the US government for the People. that is the truth, everything to the contrary is a Democratic Socialist lie.

Commented on Some Refreshing Change at School Board MeetingsOutside of bidding this out to get the best value on the best attorney available, it is my request that the school board get a smart attorney, with zero Leftist values.
The Ignorant Left has had a huge grip on education, at all levels, for far too long, and our society is absolutely paying a huge price for it right now, and for many years preceding now. I am aghast when I hear the profound stupidity coming out of the mouths of some extremely overpaid and utterly valueless "educators," case in point, any educator that discusses Charlie Kirk and speaking in cliched Leftist language without speaking directly to the issue in a specific many with any credible evidence.

Commented on Some Refreshing Change at School Board MeetingsExactly Steve, one must recuse themselves when in the decision making process on issues that might have the appearance of a Conflict of Interest.
I will go one step further: Any business that local officials seek or is offered must be completely bid out, that they must be the low bid, and their service should be unique, one where there are very few individuals who can provide the probable highest level of workmanship in the region. This is my philosophy of correctness regarding Conflict of Interest that supersedes all Conflict of Interest tennants demanded by the North Carolina General Statutes. I rather doubt that these high standards of mine are being followed by any or all local governments in Beaufort County. RINOs and Democratic Socialists are simply not capable of such levels of competent consideration of the People's business.

Commented on Some Refreshing Change at School Board MeetingsJeff: Beaufort County is excluded from any conflict of interest statutes due to the size of the county as per the size of the contract. People involved in government are already doing business with governments for very rudimentary products and services.
Take what I did for the county schools: No one in eastern NC can provide the level of service that we provide for that very technical service where quality control is paramount, so why punish the people of Beaufort County by paying more money for a lesser service from an out of the state vendor? Local is very important in dealing with highly specialized services. That is not economic development or a service to the taxpayer or education at large in this instance, and that is why North Carolina has the Small County Exclusion within its general statutes for Conflict of Interest. Additionally, I had both contracts before I was elected for my third time as a non incumbent, and was pre-promised by management that it would make no difference if I was elected, because of ... drumroll ... "The Small County Exclusion within its general statutes for Conflict of Interest." Additionally, I was assured that my high level of service at a guaranteed lower cost was all that would matter. No, this is RINO /Democrat politics, and that is the only truth here, and I detest lies, corruption and ignorance at all levels of governing. That is how I am built.

Commented on Some Refreshing Change at School Board MeetingsI have another personal problem as an individual and as a politician: I am incredibly honest.
Long before the NC General Assembly ratified School Choice, I have been a long time advocate of School Choice as a means to break-up t and the public at large for generations ... At least the Millenials going forward, of which I have certain proof. My attitude has changed since late December, 2023 on so many things business and personal, and the part where Stan Deatherage - the business person / the business person being mistreated is pretty much over. I am taking an inventory, not only constantly on myself, but others that wander aimlessly in my sphere.

Commented on Some Refreshing Change at School Board MeetingsYou are so right CT.
The great irony is that the Administration /School Board took the business from me, and gave it to a National Company for much more tax payer money; the same National Company that we took the business from during the tenure when Superintendent Don Phipps adroitly managed the Schools, simply because they were not getting the job done; the site's overall performance was poor. In the greatest of all ironies, the site, now managed by the overpaid National Company, eventually went downhill in fundamental performance, as determined by SNI months later when we monitored the platform, especially in the all important ADA puzzle piece of compliance, which is crucial for a government funded site. This one bold stroke alone fiercely proved to me that the Administration /School Board was, and still is poorly managed. As a tax paying citizen and a county commissioner representing all Beaufort County taxpayers, I would love to know just how much the school board spends on all informational platform technology in terms of their digital interface with the public at large, teachers, students and parents. The site we gave them could do it all. We are local, and were much less expensive, and have proved to be more capable. Because I am a proven Conservative, I have been banished from bidding any projects for Beaufort County Schools. In the past I was told that needed to neglect my services by the administration that they 'did not wish to anger' the incredibly corrupt, and now discredited "Black Lives Matter." This mindset is our current administration of the Beaufort County Schools.
