There are lots of things that states can and should do to crack down on illegal immigration. This is a great expansion of those opportunities. The problem is that Democrats want the illegals to come and stay, even those who commit serious crimes. They want to put them up in hotels at taxpayer expense. We have a legal immigration system that vets those wanting to immigrate, and it is highly unfair to let these line jumpers in front of them.

RK confuses ethnicity with immigration status. The two are NOT the same. There are many Latinos who are American citizens, many whose families have been here for generations. On the other hand illegal aliens come in over a hundred different nationalities. Polling shows that Hispanic Americans are just as supportive of crackdowns on illegal aliens as other ethnicities, sometimes more so.

Why would any school system hire someone with mental health problems to be around students? Gender dysphoria IS a mental health problem.

John: In today's business /political climate, the greatest reason businesses feel comfortable, in any selected area of their choosing, is whether the local government can manage to remain business friendly by providing a less expensive place to do business, additionally with fewer ridiculous regulations, which is the now the hallmark of Democratic Socialist governments.

Think in terms of their control during the dark days of the Plandemic.

The Tax Shenaniganry, within the City and Greater Beaufort County, has restricted independently owned businesses from establishing roots here.

Washington, back in the early 90's, was the go to place for Wolfman Jack and the players who he called to record with him. They came here because of location, people and comfort. Joe Walsh walked down to gas station on the corner of Market and Oakdale Cemetery, bought cigarettes and talked to the girls at counter for 15 mins; they had no idea who he was.

My point is that people liked to come here and spend money. Now, there is no appeal or incentive to do so. The powers that be don't, for some reason, seem to understand the revenue that could be generated by independent businesses... especially those in Audio/Film Production.

There's plenty of pertinent information here. I was struck by the sentence, "As long as 1% of registered voters turn out at precinct meetings and county conventions, there is little incentive for those elected to do anything other than enrich themselves and waste taxpayer money." That is so true. Additionally, if those 1% are giving us party leaders from county to state level of the caliber we are getting now then the public will continue to get La La land information from them. We need better. That fantasy Rah Rah Rah is leading us toward a disaster senate race this cycle and more looney tune local elections.

We need a more involved general public if we are to block the trending conditions leading us to Blue state status. The bad news in Virginia is coming ever closer to us too.

Rep. Cunningham's move makes perfect sense. The black population is much more highly impacted on jobs and housing by illegal aliens than the white population. What does not make sense is the other black legislators staying on the Democrat plantation on this issue.

Good for her! Polls regularly show that black folks don't agree with the pro-migration pro-amnesty Democrat policies.

The Victory Committee has STILL not reported to the Executive Committee. These people live in an alternate reality universe, where they are not accountable for anything, and if they get questioned on their indiscretions it's the boogieman's fault for asking.

The gun grab by Canada's Liberal Party is EXACTLY what the Democrats want to do here, and will try if they ever get power again. Look at Fuhrer, uh, Governor Spamberger of Virginia.

Rational Observer, The Queen decided to recognize me to speak is what made the meeting civil.
When she does not allow me to be heard there is always trouble. It is not my behavior that has changed, it is Queen Garris.

Ratinal Observer, were you ever a CNN reporter?

The last excom meeting was the best in months. Mr Richardson behaved homself which was a welcomed surprise so we actually had a decent meeting. Buzz Cayton did a great job as the chairman of the precinct committee with excellent suggestions. When there isn't constant negativity from Mr Richardson its amazing how well we can come together as a party. Great speech by Marty Ruiz about the importance of these midterms and reaching youth. Volunteers for various upcoming events and get out the vote efforts. Two months sponsored of rent for the new HQ office space. If things continue as this last meeting went we will deliver Beaufort County for the GOP in record numbers with current trajectory. If Mr Richardson regresses to his normal self yhere will division and lower turnout because of his suppressive effect on the turnout in the public at large. But credit due to him for not acting the fool at this meeting. This is the detached observation of the meeting.

Benedict Arnold is clearly Tillis' role model. He cannot get GONE soon enough.

Why would ANY father try to do this to a young child? It is twisted and sick. It looks like this evil nutjob father who is "trans" is trying to force his child to be "trans", too. Hooray for the FBI for saving the child from this awful fate. The Biden regime would not have intervened to save the child.

Leave it to Tillis to screw the GOP in a critical election year. Off years are turn out elections, and if a party screws its own voter base, they are less likely to turn out. One of the candidates who would be most negatively impacted by Tillis' treachery is his own protege, US Senate nominee Michael Whatley. Why in the world would Tillis do that? Does he have an offshore bank account that Soros or womt creature like him is funnelling money into?

Why is the city manager in a town of less than 10,000 people being paid more than a US Senator, a US Congressman, the Governor, the state Attorney General, and the other members of the Council of State??????? That is just obscene and a taxpayer ripoff.

"Lack of a quorum delays decision on Ell Hotel special use permit.
Decision on Mayor Brab's special use permit for the Ell Hotel
delayed as the Board of Adjustment lacks a quorum; meeting reset for May 7."
www.thewashingtondailynews.com

Why the lack of competence from this committee? AND, you will have to wait a month or more to see the transcript.

Also for inquiring minds: new City manager's contract is for $185,000 through 2028. Info From WDNs.

Gun grabs can go very wrong for those in power. Alberta will be voting later this year on independence from Canada. The federal government's gun grab gives them one more reason to do so.

One can remember that the American revolution started over a government gun grab. The government's red coats were sent to Lexington and Concord to confiscate the Patriots guns, They did not get the guns, but they sure got the bullets! The rest is history.

It is disappointing that you continue to spread lies and misinformation. VanZant (Stan) and Hood Richardson, particularly Stan Deatherage, rarely attend GOP Executive Committee meetings. You seem more interested in creating discord than in contributing positively. You do not listen; instead, you merely wait to express negative comments that lead to nothing constructive. Your intention does not appear to be building up the party, but rather throwing stones from the sidelines.

The victory committee members have been announced several times. The chair wanted to make sure the minutes reflected the members as she had done before. Stop spreading falsehoods and start contributing. Oh, that's right—you don't volunteer or support any GOP events or activities. Your behavior tarnishes the reputation of conservatives. Your continuous attacks on dedicated conservative Republicans are getting old. If you are going to call yourself a conservative, act like one.
