The problem as I see it is fear. Right now the fear factor is in the back seat. However, when fall and flu season returns, the media will amp up the fear propaganda, and the return of masks, social distancing, and lock downs. We can hope that people will rebel, but it's not likely judging by past reactions. Plus the unjabbed will probably be blamed for every case of the sniffles. Boosters may be involved for all the 'variants'. Sadly, most people lack fundamental scientific understanding, and buy into the propaganda.
Good luck getting a member of the cult to even listen to information that doesn't follow the rules of the cult. It's the new accepted religion. |

Commented On Why do we give up our privacy so easily?
Just because you are a honest person, you should never think others are honest, especially if money is involved. In today's world, data is money.
Sadly, its almost impossible to opt out of the surveillance world short of moving to a desert island, and that probably doesn't work either. |

Commented On D Day...June 6, 1944
Few are left that even remember D-Day. I'm beginning to think it wasn't worth the sacrifice. Americans have let fear rule their lives, and courage is as rare as chicken teeth.

Commented On An update from the front
Auditor, you are certainly correct that this information is held inside the city's books. Auditors can not add or delete information, only verify and perhaps reorganize. The problem is that the books are not open to the public. Since November 4th, I've requested three simple bits of information several times: 1. If any debt has been added during this fiscal year, and what our current total debt is. 2. What percentage of the budgeted amounts has been spent in each fund and how much we are below budget. 3. If we wanted to pay off any debt, how much is unrestricted and available for us to do so. When I asked Greenville for this information I received it in a few hours. I have yet to receive it from Washington.
Your accusation of my ignorance or deception is curious. I do not claim to be anything more than a citizen-representative reporting back to my fellow citizens. While I am certainly not a municipal accountant, and I suspect neither are the other 99.99% of residents and former city councilmen and mayors, I have a rudimentary grasp of finance and accounting. Like most, I rely on the high-paid director of finance, the finance department, and the expensive outside annual audit for information. When none of that information is supplied expeditiously or intelligibly, I have little recourse except to become suspcious and seek outside opinions. If you have this skillset, I highly encourage you to investigate and I would greatly appreciate your feedback. My goals are pretty straightforward. I want to lower our property tax rate and naturally the budget is a fairly big part of that. The audit is inordinately important to me because I cannot get these numbers from our finance department and I'm trusting that I will get them from the auditors. I do not leap to the conclusion that things are nefarious. The state auditor said that sloppiness is far more common than graft. What I am saying is that this information has been elusive. I cannot speak to past experience or history, I can only speak to my personal experience since November 4th. And I intend to continue relaying that experience openly to all who care to hear about it. I appreciate your reading and I appreciate any advice and criticism. |

Commented On City of Washington Government Will Know Change
I called out the city manager about our deplorable financial state. He could have produced facts that made me look like a fool if I was wrong. Instead he resigned. Really, that says it all.

Stan, we have a real opportunity during this election. Lou Hodges is not running; William Pitt withdrew from the race; and Brooks barely skated in last time. That's three potential seats. If the conservatives in Washington really turn out this year the Republicans will control the Washington City Council for the first time in living memory. We can accomplish amazing things. If we use that wave of enthusiasm we can tip the scales during the County Commisioners race and we can have the the city and county controlled by conservatives! This is the year to make great things happen! Let's ruduce property tax to nearly zero percent, trim the budget by 10%, cut utility costs by 10%, and ferret out all corruption, waste, fraud, and abuse!

Obviously, there are uninformed voters that do not know the difference between conservatives and RINOs. I would suggest the reading of the republican party platform and then determine if County commissioners (republicans) vote according to the ethical, moral standards of the party. Jyst because a person is registered as a republican, does not mean he/she adheres to the party platform. The person suggesting that Commissioners Richardson and Deatherage are not conservative obviously do not k iw the meaning of CONSERVATIVE. I challenge everyone to attend a commissioners mtg. And listen to certain commissioners that are opposed to investigating the number of illegals in BC and the cost to the tax payers. And, speaking about commissioners with derision, that believe the border should be closed in order to control fentanyl and drug dealers should be put in jail as a means if curtailing substance abuse. I thought true republucans believed in border security and drug dealers going to jail.

Republican Legislators in North Carolina should demand that opposition speakers should be heard in full. If the Republican Committee Chairs won'[t permit this then: (1) their constituents should replace them in the next election and (2) the Republican caucus should invite opposition speakers who are heard in full, or (3) Republican legislators who want to know the truth should hold events where opposition speakers are heard.

Amen, Jeff, and thank you.
Except my concern is not with any Amendments which could be proposed at an Article V convention. My concern is that the Delegates will almost certainly invoke that "self-evident right" claimed in the 2nd paragraph of our Declaration of Independence to throw off the Constitution we have and set up a new Constitution (with a new mode of ratification) which creates an entirely new government. That is what the delegates to the federal convention of 1787 did. Even though their instructions from the Continental Congress and their States were to propose Amendments to the Articles of Confederation (our First Constitution), the Delegates ignored their instructions and drafted a new Constitution which created a new government. Furthermore, the new Constitution had a new [and easier] mode of ratification: Whereas the Articles of Confederation required that Amendments to the Articles be approved by the Continental Congress and ALL of the then 13 States; the new Constitution provided at Article VII thereof that it would be ratified by only 9 States. And in Federalist Paper No. 40 (15th para), James Madison, Father of our Constitution) specifically invoked this "self-evident right" to throw off one government and set up a new one - as justification for what they did at the federal "amendments" convention of 1787. The Left is well aware of this! It's the Right who stuck their heads in the sand. The Leftists' proposed Constitution for the NewStates of America is ratified by a National Referendum. All they need to get their Constitution in place is an Article V convention where it can be proposed. And it will be easy to get it ratified: whoever controls the voting machines will determine the outcome. So George Soros and the Marxists have the progressive Constitution they want in place by the year 2020; and the globalist Bush/Cruz/Council on Foreign Relations/Koch Brothers?/ conspirators need a new Constitution to move us into the North American Union. Everyone on the Left and the phony "Right" is well aware of this! But they don't want Republican Legislators to know it. That's why they push for hearings on applications for an Article V convention with no public notice - or limit opposition speakers to 1 or 2 minutes. That's why they smear and revile the honest Patriots who tell the truth and prove it. |

Commented On EU approves scheme to close 3,000 Dutch farms
Have these European countries lost their minds? Freezing to death during the winter of 2022 and now the leaders are planning to starve Europe in the winter of 2023 is insane. Do they not know how this will end? Caving in to the Globalist climate alarmist by shutting down fossil fuel and nuclear power power generation and now stopping food production will not end well. Biden and his ill informed sycophants are dead set on the same strategy for the United States. If anyone believes they are saving the Earth with these policies, they need to wake up and smell the roses or prepare to live in 1932. Ask your grandparents what that was like!

Commented On Critics say Tillis' appointment to the "fracking commission" should be examined for potential conflicts of interest
The citizens of Beaufort County need to fight the devasting effects of fracking. Yes promise of much money and jobs but what about the impact of cancer and contaminated ground water from the known cancer causing agents in the fracking agents. Most countries in Europe have banned this technology. Beaufort county residents will have contaminated drinking water and who will pay our doctors bills when the fracking chemicals cause us to suffer and die of cancer? The County Commissioners sold their souls. Now we will be the new love canal. One we loose our ecological infrasture we can get it back or clean this mess up. This is too devastating to fix. We need to shut down th
is hydraulic fracking technology before permanent damages are done. Reverse the vote. Where are the OLF organizers fornthis Issue. |

You stepped on a live wire for the pro-DEI far left, Joe. Conservatives and moderates are pro-family, honoring the traditional family of a father, a mother, and children. The far left wants to pander to nutters who "identify" as something that they actually are NOT. That is what it is all about.
A northern state recently passed a state law declaring that the words "mother" and "father" should no longer be used, but should be called "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent" instead. Glenwood Antwan Horton and his merry band of leftwing city council members are joined at the hip ideologically with those Democrat legislators who are anti-family. Council member Glenwood Antwon Horton is the head of the DEI program at BCCC. That tells you how far off the deep end he is. |

Glenwood Antwan Horton heads the DEI program at BCCC. That explains why he is opposed to the nuclear family (a family with father, mother, and children). DEI bureaucrats like Horton are nothing but grifters.
We knew there were two far left grifters on the city council - Tyre and Horton - but what explains Perrault throwing in with them? |
