Here's what they're REALLY saying:

"We're going after anyone who is critical of Israel, US Foreign Policy and the President. You shall not question anything unless we instruct you to do so."

Look up the SHALOM Act that passed here in NC a couple of years ago....this is just one example

Washington is so poorly maintained, a dead body can lay next to a busy roadway in a busy business district for so long that it turns into a skeleton.
But any citizens that try to suggest changes for a better Govt are routinely ignored. Remember the City of Washington just wants your bank account and for u the taxpayers to just butt-out!

American Democrats and British Labour are the same breed of cat on DEI, which is nothing but racial discrimination against white people.

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.

These lousy Obama judges, and Biden judges, care nothing about Americans or about the law, only about their own party's far left ideology and pandering to illegal aliens. We need a quick way to take them all out of office. Maybe they should all be indicted for treason?

Any local government that puts all this severance pay nonsense in contracts with career bureaucrats is betraying their taxpayers. In state and federal government, policy level management serves at the pleasure of the policymakers, and that is the way local governments should operate. The golden parachute that the Sadler machine gave to their city manager flunky was a violation of state law, and it is an outrage that the current city government is not trying to claw that back for our taxpayers.

All I have to say is When you lie down w dogs, you get up w fleas. I'm ready to paint all these local govts w a broad guilty brush.
"Fired Onslow County manager sues county, claims commissioners broke state law."
ONSLOW COUNTY,NC. (WITN)-
"The fired Onslow County manager is suing the county, saying county commissioners often broke state law.
David Smitherman was fired on Feb 16 by a unanimous vote, and commissioners refused to give him more than $900,000 in severance pay, saying he was fired for cause.
The govt said Smitherman was fired because he wasn’t willing to perform his duties.
"The former manager claims he never refused to carry out lawful duties, “but did object to actions or directives of the Board that violated NC law.”
The suit says commissioners routinely attempted to use their govt for personal, business, or political gain.

Some of those include:

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.

The problem with Todd Blanche, for RINO Tillis, is that Attorney Blanche is so very much smarter than Thom and he has character; two things that Thom has been shown to lack.

Just when I had about gotten to the point I could hold my nose for Whatley, a RINO who would be Tillis 2.0, the original Tillis is now making that much more difficult. Roy Cooper is terrible, and I wish we had a real alternative like Don Brown would have been.

What is Tillis Smoking? He knows he is a short-timer. Did some Dumocrate offer him a job?

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.

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

That ought to say something.

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.

"Complaint Sparks US Dept of Education Title IX Investigation into NC School District

WASHINGTON, DC – May 13, 2026, America First Legal (AFL) filed a formal complaint with the US Dept of Ed and the US Dept of Justice, alleging that policies enacted by Cabarrus County Schools (CCS) in Concord, NC, violate Title IX, FERPA, and the US Constitution. The Dept of Ed’s Office for CivilRights (OCR) announced that it launched an investigation in response to AFL’s complaint.

AFL’s complaint exposed CCS’s policies permitting “gender expansive and transgender students” to access sex-segregated intimate facilities based on “gender identity” rather than biological sex. One female student attending Cox Mill High School raised concerns during a public school board meeting that a biological male student “identifying” as female participated on the girls’ football and basketball cheer teams and used the girls’ locker rooms & restrooms."

(WITN) - "A new county manager has been sworn in to serve Beaufort County, a month before County Manager Brian Alligood is set to retire from the seat on June 30.

Tim Corley was sworn in Monday night, bringing with him 28 years of experience in government, working in the western part of the state in the City of Gastonia, and in Eastern Carolina with the City of Greenville, and in Pitt County as a deputy county manager.

Commissioners who voted against hiring Corley previously expressed concern because he would not be required to live in Beaufort County and would be allowed to work a second job in addition to the new role."

Beaufort County's two RINO commissioners, Frankie Waters and Randy Walker, raised spending by 4.7 million this budget period of 070126 to 063027 after last year's harsh revaluation, and then voted against the Ending of Limited Voting for the second month in a row ... just to add insult to the permanent injury of their political character ... As RINOs.

I think the biggest pile of dinosaur s*** in the middle of the room here is, again, how do you justify increasing taxes to build two Metropolis Mega schools when you don't even have the students to justify building them?

Nobody has brought this up since all the other hoohoo has been in public conversation; ain't that somethin'?

The two Metropolis Mega dump site proposal got shot down because of.....an increase in cost. Hmmm..riddle me this, Alfred: if the cost of the dump sites went up, wouldn't that mean the cost of other shit, shit needed to build a school, has gone up too? Odds are it's probably doubled, wouldn't ya say?

It don't take Batman to figure out that somebody doesn't know what the hell they're doing and it's costing us a lot of bread; bread we ain't got.

READ: www.northcarolinahealthnews.org
• "Trump's $50B rural health bet meets a HEALTHCARE DESERT in North Carolina (northcarolinahealthn ews.org) — Greenville's ECU Health Medical Center is straining under surging ER demand as nearby Martin County's hospital closure forces more rural patients into the city's only Level 1 trauma center east of Raleigh. Local leaders and ECU Health executives are lobbying for funding, but say Trump's new $50 billion rural health program won't reopen Martin General or quickly ease Greenville's long ER wait times."
+++++
Why would any thinking human choose to relocate to a Regional HEALTHCARE DESERT such as we have here locally? Is the plan to eliminate most humans in coastal NC? Let us die off for lack of medical care, and tax to death the rest of the humans here.
