Mr. Richardson, i wish you would write more of these kind of articles, a pleasant departure from your usual articles. It is kind of crazy how our society is. I would say we do want to point out some positive things, though, too. Under Trump, crime is at historic lows. Forcing states to sanctioned abortion is no longer in existence due to the Dobbs decision. The United States military is stronger than ever before. And we have a renewed interest in grassroots politics thanks to our current President. So, yes, I do agree that almost all of your points.Do you point to something

The never-ending temper tandrum of perpetual victim Mr. Richardson continues. Mr. Richardson would be a great comedy skit ala SNL or the old In Living Color if they needed a crybaby politician that thinks the universe revolves around them. There isn't a week that goes by that this guy doesn't see himself as an oppressed specimen.

The guy has changed parties literally 11 times. He is not a conservative. He doesn't have an ideology other than uncontrolled power and the aggrandisement of himself. A true crap stain on the county.

Mr. Richardson is the ultimate poster child for term limits (which he will comically say he supports after being in office since Cleopatra was on the Egyptian throne.) Those of us wanting to advance tax reform, protection of property rights, expansion of business opportunities, deregulation and bureaucracy reduction always have to contend with this guy turning off every sane person to the point that we can't get anything like that done.

My God, if Mr. Richardson devoted one tenth of the time he obsesses over Carolyn Garris and other Republicans to actually trying to accomplish something I think hell would freeze over. This guy has CDS (Carolyn Derangement Syndrome). Besides being the worst Republican I've ever met and a grade A douche I have yet to have anyone name a single leiglative accomplishment of this horse's rear.

There is no one that does more harm to the Republican brand than Mr. Richardson. He spends his time in his endless lifelong failure to take over the Republican Party for personal aggrandizement while ensuring he turns off dvery sane person in the county. He is not a conservative. He is a demogogue...there is a difference.

Perhaps one day instead of calling the police on overweight black women walking down the street, tearing apart Republican elected officials and sleeping in meetings after not stepping foor in a school for 20 years, this dinosaur will be retired. One can dream.

I agree with you 100% Washingtonian. I'd add revealing who you are puts a big old target on your back from bad actors like Mr Richardson. I'd wind up in one of his endless "It's everyone else's fault but not me" "articles".

Mr Richardson, you literally had to dissolve your PAC because you were fined twice for campaign finance law violations and claimed you couldn't operate a computer competently. Listening to a lecture from you on campaign finance laws is like getting marital advice from OJ Simpson.

Did he seriously reference Christian ethics? Lol. The guy that repeatedly calls women the B-word, called the cops because he saw a black woman w
walking in front of Frank's Pizza and has attacked the Christian church that Randy and Carolyn Walker attend! Lol.

While he is mostly right about Michael Whatley's campaign I am afraid to say ... he again offers nothing positive. Only seeks the game power within the Beaufort County Republican Party instead of using the Trump model of expanding the base to accomplish conservative goals. What a crock of absolute bs yet again from the sleepy one.

To be clear I'm not part of leadership or the Victory Committee. Just calling things as I see them.

Well I can certainly be forgiven for not recognizing Mr Richardson as a Republican as he's changed his affiliation no less than 11 times and routinely endorses non-Republicans.

Here's truth ... of the last 33 articles you wrote ... 33 out of 33 attacked Republicans with ZERO attacking Democrats. You portrayed yourself of as a victim in 33 out of 33 articles. You named slightly more than 35 individuals that you claim are liars or wronged you. You never once admitted any mistakes on your own behalf. Out of the 33 articles only 2 touched on actual issues (taxes) and you STILL focused those articles on attacking Republicans. You wouldn't know truth sir if it smacked you in the face.

On April 21st, NASA coordinated with the Beaufort County Republican Party in an effort to continue the conspiracy against number one Beaufort County victim Hood Richardson. Since he is the center of the universe, Mr. Richardson is enduring the grandest conspiracy to ever hit Beaufort County. Despite many pointing put that Mr. Richardson incivility, false claims, ego, and rude demeanor are the cause of the failure of his political efforts, those wearing tge tinfoil hats know better. Hood Richardson is uniquely qualified to identify true conservatives because the codes that the aliens are beaming into his head apparently told him so. Everything is a conspiracy you see. He is actually a sane, adorable little man and not a nasty demagogue like his behavior would lend any rational person to deduce. The conspiracy is so deep that the Trump Administration is apparently tasking Kash Patel with the ongoing conspiracy of photographing Mr. Richardson falling asleep at commissioners meetings, convention and his weekly feedings.

I wish the counties in north carolina had the ability to limit property tax increases during assessments. Unfortunately, it looks like you have to have state.Legislative action to allow the county's to limit how much an individual's property tax can go up based solely on an assessment. Other states don't do what we do, and they allow a cap on property tax increases for individuals. I'd love to see a resolution on this to send to the state legislature to ask for more authority.

Yes its the dispatcher's fault. It's Lori Norman's fault. Or Michelle Nix. Or Paul Varcoe. Or Mimi Speers. Or Carolyn Garris. Or Keith Kidwell. Or Randy and Carolyn Walker. Or Greg Dority. Or Scarlett Stokes. Or Gayle Breed. Or any other person on the massive amount of people you have on your enemies' list. Never once could it possibly simply be you. All hail the mighty Richardson who is the pillar of virtue and good behavior. Your failure to take ownership of your toxic behavior knows no bounds.

When you demand that Van Zant, Washingtonian, RINO Hunter, John Steed, John Valley, Befuddled, and Country Girl unveil who they are and you call for them to identify yourself I'll do the same. Not that I haven't already basically told you before. But deal?

You want a list, Mr. Richardson? Here's what only I have observed. You called Mimi Speers a b*tch to her face at one of GOP County conventions in my presence. You threatened to slap Lori Norman at another. You referred to a group of Latino moms as Taco Moms. You called the police to report "a 300 lb black woman walking down the street in front of Frank's Pizza with a blank stare". You refuse to leave when the public portion of executive meetings is concluded. You tell people to shut up constantly when they question you. You raise your voice whenever you can. You make everyone that is visiting a meeting uncomfortable by pretending to constantly be a victim of some grand conspiracy against you. Your personality is simply toxic at any meeting.
