This would seem to be the second example of election interference by Cheeseman in this year's school board election. Some months ago he was wrapped up in fake claims that a fund raising letter for conservative school board candidates was somehow to be construed as coming from the school system. Among recipients of that letter, only a moron would interpret it that way, and only a manipulator would have then claimed anyone thought that. Cheeseman needs to keep his stinking fingers out of our elections.

So is Biden black, Idiot Bob? He did a whole lot of the damage to our country. The LEFT is who has hurt our country and state, and some of them are white and some black. The key is the ideology, not race, but in your little mind, all you see is race.

There Bigot Bob goes again, obsessed with race. Being black does not excuse all the bad things Obama did any more than being white excuses all the bad things Biden did.

Here is a good analysis of that interview:

Populist conservatives like Trump and traditional conservatives like Reagan ahd Helms or DeSantis and Cruz have more in common than either does with a RINO / Undocumented Democrat like Cheney, Romney, Lankford, or McConnell. Those Undocumented Democrats have been working to push liberal policy under both Obama and Biden.

Traditional conservatives and populist conservatives agree on over 90% of issues.

Traditional Democrats, however are very different than the woke / progressives who infest that party today. I remember a Republican US senate campaign ad in Massachusetts where they had a speech from JFK who gave most of it, with it finishing with the GOP senate candidate at the same location. JFK's speech could have easily been given by just about any Republican today, including Trump.

Bobbie has not been looking at the polls lately.

The folks saying this are British journalists, you socialist buffoon, Bolshevik Bob.

The real danger is that some of the insurrectionist Democrats in Congress are already talking about not certifying Trump's election when he wins.

Equity is nothing but government dictated favoritism of some groups over others and that is extremely un-American. The whole Biden-Harris DEI fiasco is extremely un-American.

Of course, to LIttle Bobbie, ANYTHING that is not part of the far left narrative becomes "a lie". That is simply his definition of the word "lie".

The real question is what would the country do? Maybe the old Czechloslovakia and its "velvet divorce" offers an alternative. Those parts of the country that believe in America as we have known it go one way, and those who believe in Kamunism and globalism go the other in an agreed partition. That is not something I have supported in the past, but we may now be at the point that any other option is worse.

Of course, the best hope is that sanity, in the form of the Republican ticket prevails in November. Even then, if the hard left parts of the country want to leave, maybe we should just let them go.

Ron deSantis nailed what the left was doing in the schools and put a stop to it. You lefties can pitch your tantrum all you want about that. But what about that Pennsylvania court case? You are dodging any answer on that. Also the California law.

Governor deSantis caught them red handed in Florida, and it is even worse in liberal states. Parents in Pennsylvania just sued successfully to keep their children out of "Transgender Awareness classes." stage.redstate.com
California just passed a law that prohibits teachers from even telling parents if their children are engaged in "transgender" behavior in school.

The school board attorney is just one of the outside contracts that Cheeseman has taken away from Beaufort County and given to people outside of the county. He pushed out the local attorney who had served for many years as local school board attorney, and never sought anyone local to take her place. He got his yes-men and yes-women on the school board to agree to bring in this Durham Democrat who he had previously brought in to Chowan County.

But lets look at some of the other contracts taken away from local people by Cheesemen and approved by his flunkies on the school board. One was for grounds maintenance which was taken from a local company that had held it for a long time and was doing a good job and turned over to a Pitt County company. Then there was the website contract taken from a local company doing a good job and given at a considerably higher cost to an out of state company. This seems to be Cheeseman's MO.

It is disgusting that our elected school board sat there fat, dumb, and happy and let Cheeseman take jobs away from local people to give them to his buddies outside Beaufort County.

Bobbie has succinctly stated the attitude of FEMA under Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas, but don't forget Kamala's one time payment of $750 when banks and stores aren't working to use it, while illegal aliens are being paid $2,500 a month.

Commented: Saturday, October 5th, 2024 @ 4:14 pm By: John Steed

If FEMA has money then why did Mayorkas say it did not? Isn't that a bit weird?

If FEMA had money and was competently led, why did they not pre-stage supplies, equipment, and personnel like FEMA always has in the past for major storms? The Republican governors of Florida and Georgia did that pre-staging and it made for great storm response in those states. In fact, help from hard hit Florida in the form of Florida National Guard and rescue teams arrived in western North Carolina to help us before FEMA did.

And there you go falsely playing the race card again. Illegal aliens are of many races, including white. What sets them apart is not race but the fact that they are foreigners who do not belong in our country. Legal immigrants are also of many races, but have been vetted and approved. There is a massive difference. Taxpayers should not be subsidiZing lawbreaking by illegal aliens.

Hurricane Helene shows how Democrats cannot govern. North Carolina Democrat Roy Cooper was like FEMA and did not pre-stage for the response. It was the Republican governors who had their acts together in a robust response.

In the governor's race, it is simply a matter of the lesser of the evils. A flawed opportunist like Robinson is better than an extreme leftist like Josh Stein (or should it be Frankenstein, maybe he shortened the familty name). Stein is an open borders amnesty whore while Robinson seems okay on immigration issues. Stein favors allowing biological boys on girls sports teams and in girls restrooms and locker rooms. Robinson opposes that. Issue after issue, Stein is very wrong for North Carolina. Issues happen to matter more than personalities.

What of the minor party options? The only two that conservatives would consider are the Constitution Party and Libertarian Party. The Constitution Party candidate received a zero score from gun rights advocates and has had nothing to say about immigration. He is not trustworthy on issues. The Libertarian candidate did score very strong on gun rights but is silent on immigration and his party is historically for open borders.

Even considering minor parties, Robinson, flawed though he is, still is a less bad choice than anyone else on the ballot for governor.
