Commented on Some Refreshing Change at School Board MeetingsSteve: When the Beaufort County Schools unwisely sued the Beaufort County Commissioners for elaborate funding, and eventually lost the case in NC Superior Court, the commissioners hired competent outside counsel without having outside counsel on retainer, thereby saving money.
This was a big, precedent setting case. Shouldn't the Schools do the same, and hire competent local counsel that can do more than sit like a lump at government meetings, and offering little else of value. We never had that problem when we hired Billy Mayo as the county attorney back in my early days as a county commissioner. Steve: Make sure they hire competent local counsel.

Commented on Some Refreshing Change at School Board MeetingsConcerned Taxpayer: The majority on this Beaufort County School Board, with their current administration, prefers to use out-of-county vendors, preferably at a higher cost, while getting a far lesser value in quality. There are many recorded instances of such; however, I have heard that those of local RINO affiliation tend to do well, far better than the more talented, in terms of skills, yet still nonconnected.

Commented on Some Refreshing Change at School Board MeetingsJeff: Whether Steve started this conversation on the board of education or not, Steve would have finished it if the conversation on changing the attorney had not gone particularly well in the affirmative on doing what is ultimately right.
I do know Steve Rader at least that well.

TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) is a debilitating condition for the Left, leading them to far too often care so little about others around them other than those also suffering from that same debilitating condition, so that they all wallow in the same misery.

There are many people that once believed that Bill Gates was smart.
I "abandoned that ship" years ago, and stopped using Microsoft products, mostly because they are expensive and inferior.

This abhorrent civil behavior by the Non Patriot Left will be coming to a head in many Leftist controlled cities near and far from US here in Eastern NC.

Commented on Some Refreshing Change at School Board MeetingsConsider this query: Just how Leftist does one have to be to make the grade of Chairman of the Democratic Socialist party in the Sanctuary County, by local choice, of Durham?

One of my agenda items for the Beaufort County Commissioners' general meeting was "The 'Schumer Shutdown,' and what is its Effect on Beaufort County," but I pulled it because that issue will be coming up on the agenda earlier in the meeting as an important business issue, not as an item of prospective curiosity which interests me and my constituents as I return to my first general meeting after my hip replacement surgery 5 weeks prior.
I will speak to that business issue from the Conservative perspective, which is always my political nature to do so.

The Democratic Socialists, with their Non Patriot leaders, just keep losing political and governmental battles, when all is required of them is to show some understanding of what it means to be an American patriot, which they clearly are not.

Commented on Some Refreshing Change at School Board MeetingsConsidering that education, or lack thereof, is a benefit or problem in our society at large, the governing of public education is absolutely a public issue, and public issues must be delt with in public, which means that the back room negotiations need to immediately take a "back seat" to the needs of we, the self-governed.
For those of you that might take umbrage with my true remarks, please remember that there are general statutes dictating how the People's business is conducted, and thus governed. Backroom dealing is not part of the NC General Statutes plan for our open government for we, the public.

Corrupt Planned Parenthood and the corrupt Democratic Socialist party has been scamming the Americans people for decades by money laundering illegal campaign donations for the votes to legislate the abomination of publicly funded abortion mills.

Joe Biden type politicians, and bureaucrats, as in vegetable brained manipulators of the public's confidence, will always be there taking up space when the Left is in charge of how any part of the world works.

My question from the common man, those who spend much of their lives considering what is real from that which unambiguously is not: Where are the patriotic Leftists, or is that now a furtive oxymoron - patriotic /Leftist(s)?

Van Zant: In the Beaufort County GOP executive meetings much respect is given to those that defile the Republican Party Platform, but that has been going on for a long time, and will continue as long as RINOS are greatly involved in the local party.

Two things:
1. In a political sense they are all young, and will need some help in managing themselves as public servants, so listening to the more knowledgeable people is most important. 2. My bionic hip is doing great! I was released from PT early due to the success of my consistent, though limited, exercise regime. It appears that I am a minor success story in recovery.

Two things here Washingtonian:
1. These are young candidates, some are younger than others; some are wiser than others. Now here is my one immediate concern: I am very interested, going forward, which of these elected people, here in Beaufort County, will listen to me; all because of just this one reality - I know more, and will know more about how to best govern in their respective offices than they do now, and for some time to come; and, these young elected people need to have the initial wisdom to recognize that truth immediately. 2. Washington: When you vote for me in the 2026 election for Beaufort County Commissioner, you have my promise that I will act in a manner to achieve what I believe to be absolutely best, on all big issues here in Beaufort County, and I will explain why I did so here on ENC NOW.

Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), who lost to the politically ignorant and morally corrupt Adam Schiff in the Democratic Socialists' US Senate primary, is a demanding woman. By the look of her in this interview with a friendly interviewer provided by the the Liberal Media, the taciturn and virulent Porter demands easier and more politically friendly questions, just as she would demand copious quantities of completely unnecessary food at every meal, when less victuals might be the better option for her plus sized appearance.
Save the elected Republicans, California is becoming well known for creating Clown Car Class politicians at every level of government, which is the single reason why California is a failed one-party state.

Commented on NC Senate advances new congressional mapEven here in North Carolina, when the Democratic Socialists were in charge, they ran some of the craziest looking districts (remember the I85 Congressional District), and now that we have entered the times of a Post Racist America, where the only racists left are mostly in the Democratic Socialist party, it is time to draw districts which better represent THe People, with as many whole counties as is possible.

All City Council candidates that were non incumbents were invited twice. The first go-round we had three; the second go-round we felt that we did not have enough interest to do the second show, which made rethink small elections like the City of Washington, which is small in number of voters and small in the real size and necessity of that government.
Having said all of this, that one segment has had many thousands of views, so, it should be a benefit to the first participants. As a politician for so many winning elections, I never missed, and will never the opportunity to speak before any group of people, especially opportunities within a medium with as many ears and eyes as encnow.com provides.

Commented on ‘You Woke Up A Beast’: A Father’s Fury For His Murdered Daughter Exposes Broken Justice SystemNo father should have to go through this; then why does the Non Patriot Left believe so passionately in the Crime Culture, and its supposed benefits for our Representative Republic.

Come on; nobody truly believes that Mr. Trump had any real chance of winning this formerly prestigious award that is now reserved for Leftists other than the Nobel awards committee, unless ... someone like María Corina Machado, who, unknown to the Nobel awards committee, is not a Leftist, and, after receiving her award, did dedicate her Nobel Peace Prize to none other than ... "wait for it, drum roll" ... President Donald John Trump, who she credited for her success here in this western hemisphere.

Many city governments, and, to a lesser extent, county governments are either ignorant or corrupt, and that is a great inhibitor to the wise governing of growth in North Carolina.
And whose fault is that: The politicians? Partly, but the larger part is the people that elect these corrupt idiots in this self-governed society. North Carolina Voters remember: These corrupt idiots represent you, who you may be; so don't be that guy.

I agree Bubba, North Carolina "does NOT need a sanctuary state on our northern border."
Now here is question I will ask: If Abigail Spanberger was once a CIA officer, when did the CIA start hiring stupid people, and how long why does the hire stupid people?

Many within our Society of the Self-Governed have lost touch with the understanding that all government, all politics are local, and just how important it is to know what is real within the realm of how we, the self-governed, manage government to best manage our societal Republic.
