If criminals followed our laws, we would not need more laws. It does absolutely no good to create more laws just to have more charges. The only thing that will slow the killings is SWIFT AND HARSH punishment. Not a forty year wait in prison, with enough time to contemplate finishing what you started. When there are multiple witnesses such as the church shooting in South Carolina, death should have found its mark within 72 hours of catching him.

Went to get my yearly inspection the other day. Nurse checked my weight, height, checked my BP, eye sight, took a blood sample, and had me check my aim by peeing in a tiny little cup, then went to wait for the doctor. Doc comes in, listens to my thumpin gizzard, taps on my back while I am inhaling and exhaling, assaulted my arthritic knees with a rubber mallet and then asked if I was still on my diet. 

ME: YEP. WHY?
DOC: YOURE NOT LOSING ANY MORE WEIGHT. WHAT DID YOU HAVE FOR BREAKFAST? 
ME: 5 EGGS. 
DOCTOR: UH...DONT YOU THINK THAT WAS A BIT MUCH? 
ME: NO. YOU SAID EGGS WERE GOOD FOR MY DIET.
DOCTOR: WELL, THATS A LOT. WERE THEY FRIED, SCRAMBLED, POACHED, OR BOILED?
ME: CADBURYS.

This how Obama gets away with everything. The powers who CAN stop him, refuse to do so. Same thing is happening in Beaufort county. Follow this link to see absolute proof. www.beaufortobserver.net
If we put their noses to the grindstone each and every time they step out of line, soon they will find it easier to do their job correctly the first time.

What is going on right now to rig the elections in California shows what an out of touch Democrat lackey that Thom Tillis is. Our elections are being corrupted and the SAVE America Act would help stop that process.

John, that is not the worst thing. They limited their search to career bureaucrats and shut out those with private sector management experience. Private sector managers strive for efficient cost-effective operations while career bureaucrats tend to be empire builders who care nothing about efficiency. They sought absolutely the wrong qualifications in a county manager, and , well, they found them.

While the far left likes to throw around the term "fascist", none of them seem to understand that fascism had a rigid economic doctrine, and today's left very often follows fascist rather than socialist economic doctrine. The climate alarmist movement is one particular example of that, and I have seen some aptly call it "eco-fascism".

Government putting its thumb on the scales is the opposite of capitalism. Government Diktat is the only thing that makes the Climate Industrial Complex function. It could not stand on its own two feet to compete under a free enterprise system.

You might want to learn more about what fascism really is before thinking that it just means having a dictator in charge. If you do, you will learn that the modern left's policies here in America are much closer to classical fascist economic doctrine than to classic socialist economic doctrine.

Will, neither you nor I are far left, but it is the far left that likes to throw around the term "fascist" without understanding what it actually means.

How despicable! What Tillis is doing is auditioning to the special interests to try to be their lobbyist when he leaves office. He is throwing the Republican Party and his protege Whatley under the bus to do it.

From what I hear from local teachers, most of them ARE members of the NCAE teachers union, which is the state affiliate of the national NEA teachers union. Both are heavily involved in leftwing politics unrelated to education issues.

I have not heard if there is an organized local chapter of the NCAE teachers union beyond local teachers just being members of the state unit of the union. However, it was clear that teachers were heavily involved in the campaigns of two NCAE members for our Beaufort County School Board who won nominations in GOP primaries over conservative school board incumbents.

It looks like the extreme left hates historic and national flags everywhere. Here they diss many Revolutionary War flags including the Gadsden flag, the 13 star Betsy Ross flag, and others, and historic Confederate flags. They even burn the current American flag. In the UK, they diss the Union Jack and the St. Andrews Cross flag of England. In Canada, it is their Red Ensign. Yet they want to shove things like their "pride flag" is our faces or wave foregin flags at their riots for illegal aliens.

If these anti-democratic thugs get their way, it may soon be illegal to display the longtime national flag of Canada, and at the same time illegal to object to the obnoxious "pride flag". How long until they declare Canada a "people republic"?

Cutting off one's nose to spite one's own face" is an expression used to describe a needlessly self-destructive overreaction. To do someone that is meant to harm someone else but also harms the person who does it. Don't cut off your nose to spite your own face" is a warning against acting out of pique, or against pursuing revenge in a way that would damage oneself more than the object of one's anger.

There are some Republicans seeking to cast a revenge vote and now going to vote on the democrat ticket because their candidate lost in the primary. Now casting a vote for a candidate of the party of Biden, Pelosi , Schumer, Roy Cooper and our local democrat leaders out of revenge. You know no matter who loses as those in the primary, whether it be Rogerson or Hammonds their lives will continue on as ours will. To cast a revenge vote is “cutting off your nose to spite your own face”.

Revenge is sweet they say for only a short time while the consequences will effect us for years.

Stan Deatherage I would encourage your readers to look up the interview on the internet with Fox News! They report we decide. I am a conservative Republican and I support the core values of the Republican Party!

I would like to comment on one of the questions in this poll regarding HB 370.

Speaking of left wing dreams we have a sheriff of Beaufort County that said on Fox News it’s a sheriffs right to hold or not hold a criminal illegal for ICE. He guesses they the sheriffs are doing what’s in their heart he said. I say A sheriff’s right over the safety and welfare of the citizens of this county, our state, our country they are to serve and protect?? Isn’t that in direct contrast on what Trump is doing? Absolutely!! Trump called out Cooper for vetoing the bill and our sheriff saying it’s a sheriffs right! What is going on here?
Side note- as of now holding criminal illegals for ICE is a request to the sheriffs- the N.C. state representatives voted and passed a bill called HB 370 requiring sheriffs to hold criminal illegals for ICE and not release them back on the streets and in our counties. The democrat governor vetoed it. And this was our sheriffs response. He didn’t stand against Cooper vetoing the bill instead he said its a sheriffs right to not hold them. It’s on Fox News video. You can look it up! Unbelievable and wrong!!!
And might I add as long as this is only a request let’s say a criminal illegal is released back on the street by a sheriff that saids he will work with ICE although just a request and he releases a criminal illegal back on the street that commits another crime perhaps of a violent nature. The sheriff can then say well it was only a request and he slipped through by accident. I didn’t have to hold them. It’s not a thou shalt it’s only a request!!
A sheriffs right over the safety of the citizens of our county. Need I say more? Something is not right!!!

Mr. Hickman, I believe completely in what I wrote. I believe we are in danger of losing our once well-intentioned country to a growing group of racist Marxists. And you are right, as I pointed out... what is at stake is the loss of our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and our Declaration of Independence. How many times have you heard Democrats (AOC and even Pelosi) say things like "We've outgrown the Constitution"? OR "The Constitution is racist"? OR "The Constitution is meaningless for these times"? These demons mean business and they won't rest until all our founding institutions, such as the Church, family, education, morality, the grand notions of work and work ethic, unity of Americans, love of country, and the essential principle of personal responsibility, are abolished, destroyed, or undermined. Personal responsibility, the family, and work ethic have already been replaced by the enlargement of social welfare services and government healthcare. The Church has already been replaced by the God who supports abortions, hatred, riots, violence, and property damage, and education has been replaced by Critical Race Theory and other racist and divisive ideologies (Education has been replaced by indoctrination). Unity and love of country has been replaced by racism (intentionally resurrected by the Democrats for political and agenda purposes. These left-wing hijackers are using the very freedoms articulated and secured for us by our Founding Fathers (in the Declaration, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution) to destroy those very rights. If they succeed in destroying our founding documents, then guess what? They destroy the very foundation of the American states and the American union. It will no longer be assumed that individuals have inalienable rights and other essential liberty and civil rights. And that will be the day the government truly and completely (and tyrannically) controls and subjugates us. Patrick Henry said something similar in his "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech in Richmond back in 1775. (Everyone should read it in its entirety!) The sad thing is that the left are too stupid and too detached from reality to comprehend the consequences of their actions. Thanks again, Charles.
