So, to sum it up, they couldn't find anybody here so they went to the next county over?

That ought to say something.

AI has no place in the Arts, it has no soul and removes the human element from the equation. Imperfections and "mistakes" make music/art special. I can't tell you how many legendary riffs have come from f-ups and producers deciding to "keep it on the tape".

I agree that AI, with strict oversight, can be used for the purposes of good BUT if unregulated, you'll see why and how places like Atlantis fell from grace.

B&N hasn't been worth a crap for almost 20 years. They are a footnote of American Culture now. We used to meet girls there, get our music magazines and graphic novels.....but those times have long since passed.

One thing that many Conservatives have forgotten:

Pat McCrory was declared winner of the 2016 Governor's race UNTIL Cooper contested the election results due to votes "mysteriously found" in Durham County. The polls even shut down for several hours during that election, everybody knew they were "stealing" it when it happened.

This has nothing to do with HB2 but it did, the insurance companies. McCrory was the roadblock preventing the monuments from being pillaged for insurance purposes. Cooper, of course, knew this.

McCrory also wouldn't have gone along with the whole COVID narrative. Cooper also knew this too; McCrory costed him more money than he made him.

In an alternate timeline, folks would have raised hell about Cooper throwing the election and asked hard questions. The outcome would have been completely different.

Fritz's resignation, a "Bizarroworld" reference and Tyre's Supervillain-type of veiled response.....is this a coinkeedink or what?

The "wheels of government" fell off a long time ago and they've been rimmin' it for decades.....now the rim is on fire.

The public wants answers...not deflections.

So...anyone who questions the narrative is a "hard left conspiracy theorist", Steed?

You better think about that one again, man.

Your response sounds like one your boy, Keith Kidwell, would make.

I'm not pulling an Uncle Hood here BUT there does seem to be a huge disconnect between the County GOP Executive Committee, Victory Committee and those with common sense

I know of two Victory Committee members who, based off of previous history, have:

1. Denied the 2020 Election was "stolen" and acknowledged "Biden" as a legitimate President.

2. Supported Mark Robinson's "If you don't stand with Israel, you're a terrorist" statement.

3. Had nothing to do with J6 patriots, who were boots on the ground and extracted many ladies from several Eastern NC County GOPs back to safety...without assistance from law enforcement, who called them out for pushing a bulls*** narrative.

Midterms are coming up and the viewpoint of the public: "F-it, let them hold the bag for once." The harder they try to hide the fact that they've screwed themselves, the worse it's going to be when people catch their breath.

They've been warned for four years but quickly change the subject when asked about it

Hood: I think that, while some strategies can be improved within the party, serious long-term damage has already been inflicted that can't be reversed.

There's 80 million people out there who have neither party nor representation; the Democrats went far left and the Republicans went cookoo far right leaving common sense conservatives from both sides of the aisle on their own....with nothing.

That, in itself, is enough to piss anyone off that has a vested interest. Then on top of that, you've got the Bizarro Republicans trying to convince everyone that they're not seeing what they're seeing in plain sight and that common sense conservatives are "conspiracy theoriests" or, wait for it, "anarchists" just trying to cause trouble. Trump has even made some comments about people who question Israel and Epstein.

We're in a very unconventional scenario that requires strategies based around open thinking and situational awareness. Critical thinking is is key.

What it comes down to...with all the glittery things aside;

1. The GOP strategists, including "Trump's level" , are trying to find a way to keep remaining swing voters from nuking the Warhawks (Neo-Con Zionists) and milk-toast Republicans in the midterms; still-soaring costs of everyday living, the support of Israel's escapades through the Middle East and the suppression of the Epstein Files ain't sitting well with those holding the GOP pocketbook.

2. Mr. Dick Adams's unwavering belief of term limits and common sense transparency is considered to be heresy by both sides of County GOP''s across the country; good folks are getting tired of being played by those stealing their money..for a variety of reasons.

The old school Crusaders are becoming a liability to the party. The MAGA crowd is tired of the Crusaders because they're running off Conservative swing voters with their insanity.

It's like old Mid-South Wrestling but Dusty Rhodes ain't doing the booking.

If the county convention was anything like CPAC, I can only imagine the amount of polarity that was on display. As we've discussed in this forum, it seems that the Neo-Cons/Bizarro RINOs are openly advocating for the expulsion of anyone who doesn't go along with their decrees; that should concern anyone, if you ask me.

I don't believe there is a civil war in the GOP. However, I do believe that common sense conservatives, who come to their own conclusions based on fact, are seen as threats by the bizarros that are pushing for international intervention and the same thing the left is pushing for, a strong centralized communist welfare system of government.

Traditional Conservatives (Anti-Federalists) and Neo-Cons (Uber-Federalists) are two different groups. I do not believe violence is the answer here as that's what the bizarros want; there has to be a revolution of thinking, one without sacrificing men and women for the enrichment of the controllers.

BOCO, we need to get real..fast

Had an interesting conversation with a cousin of mine this weekend; she, too, is aware of the bizarro nature that encompasses our community. She informed me of a local attorney who is taking some interesting points on to TikTok platform and establishing commentary on the platform.

"SassyAttorney" made two comments, in one of her videos, that I agreed with:

1. Those speaking FOR the County GOP all sound like a bunch of fruit loops.

Given what we know and have been able to piece together....I don't think the ol' girl's too far off on that one.

2. Many of those who are talking about "unity" and uncovering the extent of "Sadlergate" aren't really doing that; they're creating theater to hide the fact of them working to corporatise everything.

Again.....none of this is tin-foil hat crap that Carmen Sandiago has to figure out; these are points being brought up based off of public knowledge.

These are truly "bizarro" times for the Common Sense Conservative. The treatment of Brian McGinnis, who is a patriot and Marine Corps veteran, is eerily similar to how knowledgeable patriots within our County are/have been treated, on several occasions, by those who've been trying to turn the GOP into a Neo-Con echo chamber.

The Republicans who made this particular cut need to be cautious of who and what they align with; things could further go to hell for the GOP if Uncle Donnie keeps silencing questioning of the US Military being the muscle for Israel.

To sum it all up, people like Commissioner Deatherage aren't Neo-Cons or local bizarro libtards; they give a damn and are trying to wake folks up while there's still time. If the community doesn't come together and call out the bad actors, we're going to be in a very bad way and surrounded on all sides.

If everybody's got money on the line, people tend to pay attention.

One thing the Bizarro RINO Neo-Cons love to do is distract while dangling carrots in front of your face to make it LOOK like they've done something when, in fact, they've done absolutely nothing.

Killary has never been arrested nor will she ever be arrested; Benghazi was brought to us in part by the US Government. After Gaddafi told the UN to go f-themselves and that he wasn't going to do their bidding (the mainstream media will never admit to this but it's well documented), they sent in the US (their military arm) to destabilize the region....major shocker there, right?

Libya was actually a very rich country and the Globalist Neo-Cons weren't having it: they operated on the gold standard and kept the banksters out of the equation.

I don't get involved in many elections anymore BUT I do believe that local elections are very important; they are the first line of defense and it's important to get your affairs in order on the home front before worrying about anything else.

Stan is a friend to common sense conservatives, a mentor to creative minds and doesn't stand for homogenized corporate autocracy. He has my vote and support. I urge others to do their homework and continue to root out those who stand against common sense; nobody is going to save us but US.

I may be jumping the gun here but I'm going to say it anyway:

I don't trust Brabo. I think she wants to globalize the City of Washington and become "Little Greenville". There are already measures in place to slowly implement these alien procedures but the public is too caught up in the engineered crap to see it.

Joe Jr knows this to be true also, he's already ahead of the game.

The Conservative Club and this publication seem to be the only regional platforms that encourage/promote open thought and common sense discussion.

Remember what the Bible said about the two witnesses in the Book of Revelation?

What is the County GOP doing to strong Conservative minds?

I think they're killing the two witnesses, so to say.

Exactly, VZ; it don't get much more plain than that.

TBT: There are parts of this story that don't add up; I know how both sides can "play it up" BUT the County GOP is obviously projecting here....playing the victim.

It's funny how THEY, the infamous "Trinity of the County GOP", get alllll bent out of shape about someone refers to THEM as Nazis but have no issue with using direct Nazi terminology when they try to get them ol' Unaffiliated votes from Brabo's base!?!?

I would be curious to know if the GOP could provide accurate minutes and/or unedited video footage documenting this incident (for educational purposes and situational context). If so, the public could decide, not a select few, on the situation.

Unless proven otherwise, from what I've been able to gather, certain Republicans ARE acting as Nazis, from the dictatorial standpoint. It don't take Steve Jobs to figure this out.
