Folks, I hope all y’all know, Early Voting for the 2022 Republican Primary Elections is going on PIGHT NOW. And election DAY is NEXT Tuesday-May 17, 2022. I ALWAYS recommend voting on ELECTION DAY because there is less of an opportunity for voter fraud, ballot switching, and all other kinds of voting mischief when you put YOUR ballot in the box and it is counted when the polls close that same day. Within hours of you voting. That’s my reasoning and I believe it to be sound reasoning.
There are other forms of election mischief besides switching ballots, tampering with voting machines, and such. I am sure you have already been bombarded with election stuff in the mail that includes WHOLE packs of lies and deceptions. Radio and TV Ads. Even Facebook. If you remember the 2020 Elections you will remember the School Board elections when Robert Queen, Rodney Fitch, Ron Humphries, Greg Taylor, and Joel Shores told all those lies about how they would be Transparent and do what was best for taxpayers, parents, and the children.
That so-called promise of Transparency didn’t last as long as it took for the echo from their voices to fade away after they were sworn in. And it has been nothing but lies, deceptions, dirty dealings, and dirty tricks pulled on taxpayers, parents, children, and Danny Blanton ever since. Actually, it has been getting worse ever since that night this Rogue Republican crowd got themselves sworn it. I admit that I made a mistake in recommending that gang in the 2020 Elections, but I quickly learned that I had made a mistake and have called them out over and over and over again ever since. Including right now. In this article. And in every article, until they are finally runoff from the School Board by the people who realize just how much we have all been “screwed” over.
Pay attention folks, these sorry Rogue Republicans have pulled many dirty tricks and planned schemes of a highly unethical and uncouth nature. They have heaped web after web of deceptions, lies, and corruption many, many, many layers deep. Please pay attention as I am about to hit the” high spots” (Maybe I should say LOW SPOTS) in their doings. I will start with this very week and add the supporting details as we go along. I am sure you if you pay attention, will recognize just how despicable, bad, and mean these people really are.
Publicity Stunt Number 1 (May 9, 2022, School Board Meeting):
Monday night at the May 9, 2022, School Board meeting. Right in the middle of the Early Voting election process. Kids after Kids and all their parents were invited to the School Board Meeting for a “Recognition” Session lasting 45 minutes. Elementary School Kids, Middle School Kids, High School Kid. Even former School Board Chairman Shearra Miller (defeated in the 2020 elections) from the Arts Council showed up with many, many kids who had been involved with an art program at the ARTS Council. Everybody got their pictures taken with the smiling School Board members. Over and over again.
Even School Board Chairman Robert “Luke” Queen was smiling this weird smile. Then, remembered what an astute female source had recently told me. That “I knew Queen had a “roving eye” the first time I met him. But I would not have guessed her (XYZ) being one of his affairs.” I turned around from my front-row seat and I see all these “eye-candy” mothers of these kids sitting there under the “roving eyes” of Robert Queen. Quickly realizing immediately, exactly what was going on in that dirty and lecherous mind of the School Board Chairman. Also, remember what I was told by a trusted source about Robert Queen’s former Home Construction Business. That the business had its business license revoked because of a scandal where one of the business owners had an affair with the wife of one of their clients. Mr. Queen, was that YOU? As a “Public Figure,” Pease explains this to the citizens of Cleveland County!!!
Later in that May 9th, 2022 School Board meeting. During Public Participation, I noted the 45 minutes of the School Boards time taking credit for the “cream of the crop” students at CCS and in all my 200+ CCS school board attendances I had never heard even 45 seconds of school board time ever being spent on even recognizing that a full half of Graduating CCS Students are NOT proficient at the Ninth Grade level!
I would also note that my previous article also noted that I had mentioned in that same Public Participation segment I had informed the entire school board that there was an egregious error and omission in the minutes of the April 11th, 2022 School Board meeting minutes that was about to be approved-the very next item on the meeting agenda. And, that every single School Board member EXCEPT Danny Blanton, voted to approve that manipulated and illegal document. Go back to my very last article for all the details on that School Board fiasco orchestrated by Chairman Luke Queen.
Publicity Stunt Number 2. Robert Queen’s Phony Letter berating Danny Blanton:
Back in February 2022 School Board Chairman Robert “Luke” Queen and his Rogue Republican gang, Dennis Bailey, Wes Westmoreland, Ron Humphries, David Allen, Kevin Whisnant, and others, cooked up this crooked scheme for the Chairman of the School Board to draft a phony letter to Danny Blanton stating all kinds of false, twisted and deceptive allegations against Blanton. The letter would say that all the other School Board member “colleagues” had requested Queen to do this phony letter (which is NOT the Chairman’s job OR within his authority) that proposed to ”REPORT” Blanton for NOT working with the entire School Board. Doing his own investigations and then telling the public. Things that the PUBLIC would expect and demand ALL School Board Members should do. But twist it around into something that would sound very bad about Blanton to low information voters. Especially if they would get the “lapdogs” at the Shelby Daily Liar to go along. Right at Election time.
So, that is exactly what Shelby Liar did. Go along with the Rogue Republicans since the Shelby Liar gets lots of subscription$$$ directly from CCS for the Non-Existent
Newspapers in Education Program. Where bundles upon bundles of Shelby Daily Liars are delivered to schools across Cleveland County one day and hauled to the dump the very next day still bundled. I have seen this with my very own eyes. Taking old newspapers to the dump and while dumping them into the recycle bin, seeing all the day-old bundles of the Shelby Daily Liars in the recycle bin. All at the taxpayer’s expense. And not one of the Liars being read by any student at the nearby High School Middle School and Elementary Schools. A total waste of education funds, but a payoff from the Shelby Daily Liar to CCS for the Liar’s “Favorable Publicity.”
Now it is Tuesday, May 10, 2022, and the Shelby Daily Liar has a front-page article about Queen’s Letter that is damaging to Danny Blanton.
But, before we go there, folks, this is what transpired from March until now regarding this phony Robert Queen Letter.
When I heard about this letter being maneuvered by Robert Queen into a closed session, then refusing to discuss the letter as it was supposedly different than the personnel items and Lawsuits the School Board went into the Closed Session for. But all you smart folks that read my articles, think about this. Personnel items are personnel items that are never identified by the School Board when they go into Closed Session. When Blanton brought up Queen’s letter as a personnel item, it was exactly that-a personnel item that deserved, NO, that DEMANDED, discussion.
But Luke says NO. And, unfortunately, the School Board lawyers are in on the scheme. They go along with the phony excuse that this was a different personnel issue than the personnel issues they went into closed session for. So, NO discussion. Only thing was, Danny Blanton refused to give ANYBODY a copy of Queen’s phony letter.
Then, Queen and the School Board lawyers cook up a scheme to release the letter to the public without Luke Queen directly releasing the letter to the public. They release a statement about the letter into the “Draft” minutes of the Closed Session of that meeting “Mentioning” a letter that was not discussed or even released in that closed session. Something that has never ever been done before. Then SOMEBODY secretly calls the Shelby Daily Liar, Guy Smith, and Kevin Whisnant so they can issue a Public Request for a letter that was never provided to the School Board in that Closed Session. But alas, Robert Queen provides that letter to the School Board Lawyers so they can fulfill the contrived Public Records Request.
Of course, I read the DRAFT minutes too. Noticing immediately that it was totally different from the hundreds upon hundreds of School Board minutes that I have previously read. I immediately smelled a rat. So, I immediately issued a public records request to CCS also. And receive a copy of that phony letter at light speed. Which was also totally different from any public records request that I have previously issued. Again, I smell a rat!
Upon receipt of that letter, and reading it, I immediately made that so-called public record letter public information myself. Without any comment. Since I recognized that Robert Queen had stated that the School Board had informed them of the details of the phony letter, which was probably a lie, I made sure to send a copy of that phony letter to every School Board member so they could NOT deny knowing about it. A little trick I have learned to do that I know for a fact irritates them as it often upsets their applecart in pulling off dirty deals and dirty tricks.
And, as dirty and evil tricks go, it was a pretty good dirty and evil trick. The Rogue Republicans could use it to get rid of Danny Blanton with their favored four sycophant candidates in the 2022 Republican Primary Election. And, if that failed, the Rogue Republicans could then help the Democrats use that dirty trick and evil letter in the General Election to tarnish the reputation of Danny Blanton. So, the Democrat Candidates have also gone along with this dirty and evil scheme. Much to THEIR discredit too. Folks, remember that. This Rogue Republican Scheme also has a Democrat component that should NOT be forgotten at election time.
Now, remember that I have also released Robert Queen’s phony letter to ALL the School Board members some time ago (and also at the end of this article). Plenty of time for the School Board members to demand that this letter be addressed. But, NOOOoooo!!!. Everybody wants this Robert Queen phony letter to come out in the Shelby Daily Liar smack dab in the middle of Election time. And the Daily Liar has obliged.
Folks, first, I ask YOU this question. Since Two-faced Robert “Luke” Queen has lied to his wife, to the taxpayers, to the Commissioners, Parents, voters, citizens, and probably to his dogs and cats if he has any; Why would YOU believe Robert “Luke” Queen now??? Same with the Shelby Daily Star!!!!
The Dirty trick article in the Shelby Daily Liar was published Tuesday, May 10, 2022. On the FRONT-PAGE right below the fold. The Shelby Daily Liar article was titled School Board Chair sends letter of criticism and includes a picture of Danny Blanton. The ACTUAL Five-page Queen letter was NOT included. Probably because the general population could see that the FIVE pages could be condensed down into a page and a half once the repeated statements were removed.
Obviously, the Shelby Daily Liar did not list most of the content of this letter because they didn’t do their research and were afraid Danny Blanton would sue them for defamation. So, they twisted things around with interviews of Robert Queen, Danny Blanton, and CCS Superintendent Stephen Fisher. And most of what Supt. Fisher said was NO Comment! Obviously to save his own ass from a defamation lawsuit.
The RACE Card is played in the Shelby Daily Liar article. The Shelby Daily Liar article quickly turned dirty with the Race Card. Questioning whether Blanton’s interest in the hiring of a black school counselor was hiring the best-qualified candidate. I have personally heard Danny Blanton say that he didn’t care about the race, creed, color, flavor or where they go to church, as long as the candidate hired has the best qualifications. If the Shelby Daily Liar, Cleveland County Schools, or Robert Queen and his Rogue Republicans have a problem with that, they can all KMA. Which is short for Kiss My Ass. I think that most of Cleveland County, parents, and probably all Taxpayers feel exactly that very same way.
Then the Shelby Daily Liar brings up something about Blanton’s granddaughter not getting a job she had applied for. This is what Danny Blanton told ME about That:
This is exactly what happened. ”My Granddaughter was working at CCS as a teacher’s aide, although she had the credentials for a full teacher’s pay. She was working on a Master’s degree and wanted to get that behind her before she applied for a full teacher’s job. Then Superintendent Stephen Fisher approached me, telling me that he had been observing my granddaughter and she was doing a very good job. That I should go get an application for this certain job, have my granddaughter fill it out, and send it to so and so. So, I did. My granddaughter filed out the application and sent it in as Fisher had suggested. And then didn’t get the job. The next thing I know is I am being accused of threatening somebody because my granddaughter didn’t get the job she had applied for. I never threatened anybody and I believe this was all a big setup.”
The Shelby Daily Liar stated that Superintendent “Fisher did not reply to a request for a comment on Blanton’s account.” Well hey, Shelby Daily Liar, why did you print anything about the defamatory allegation in the first place??? A defamatory allegation was made by the already proven liar, Robert Queen. Who didn’t have personal knowledge himself? A Defamatory allegation that would not stand up for two seconds in a REAL Court of law. (Which is where this “Bull-ony” might eventually end up.)
Mr. Blanton, I also believe this was a setup that should be investigated. Even if I have to do the investigation MYSELF.
Then, the Shelby Daily Liar article goes from bad to worse. The article accuses Danny Blanton of not taking the “required” school board member training. The article states falsely that “Blanton did not dispute his failure to complete required training for School Board Members.” Mr. Blanton tells me that this defamatory statement is a downright LIE. That “he has taken more training than any other school board member except for Phillip Glover.” The Shelby Daily Liar provided exactly ZERO proof of this defamatory allegation. The Shelby Dailey Liar even goes as far as to say that they had requested documents weeks ago, but CCS did not provide those documents. WELL, Shelby Daily Liar, why did YOU print something that YOU can’t back up. And say so. Using defamation from a well-proven liar-Robert Queen-and passing it along. Nitwits. No wonder nobody believes your stuff.
The letter goes on with statements from Robert Queen and the School Board lawyer that I am not bothering to even mention. It is THAT full of Bull-ony. My recommendation to Shelby Daily Liar readers is to NOT read their Lies and cancel your subscriptions immediately, if NOT sooner. But, don’t worry. If this episode ends up in a lawsuit, I will cover the trial for you and tell you all the juicy details about Superintendent Fisher and Chairman Luke Queen crying crocodile tears as they beg the jury “please don’t take my house and car and bank account away from me. I will never tell a lie again; I cross my heart and hope to die.” Folks, if YOU get to sit on that jury, throw the book at this crowd of Rogue Republicans.
Publicity Stunt Number 3: Auditoriums at Burns and Crest High Schools
The Rogue Republicans on the School Board ended up looking like fools at their Special Called Meeting held on May 11, 2022. Only two regular citizens were in attendance, Mr. Brandon Bridges and MYSELF. We were, however, thoroughly entertained so much that I busted out laughing at the Rogue Republicans led by Robert “Luke” Queen acting like the fools that they are. It was also videoed by CCS so all y’all can be entertained if you don’t have absolutely anything else to do.
First of all, this meeting could have been easily held at Monday’s regular School Board meeting-but the Rogue Republicans are bound and determined to have their publicity stunts as much as possible before next Tuesday’s Election Day.
The meeting opened with an invocation and a Pledge to the American Flag. Then the school board went behind Closed Doors for 45 minutes to talk to their attorneys. Then they came back to the open session and Superintendent Fisher immediately went into his infamous “fast-talking” mode. Bottom line is, that the delay in starting the auditorium construction because of a lack of money has been resolved by more grant money coming in. Fisher read a Resolution for the Start of Construction (ordering materials) basically tomorrow. The expected cost was noted to be almost $28 Million for auditoriums at both Burns and Crest High Schools.
Then the entertainment began.
Luke Queen asked if there were any questions and Danny Blanton spoke up. So-Called Parliamentarian Ron Humphries immediately called Danny Blanton Out of Order. Blanton said he was NOT out of order. The call for questions was made and I had questions. And you had better stop calling me out of order when I’m NOT out of Order. This went on for a few moments and I am laughing out loud. Blanton was indeed NOT out of Order, if anybody was out of order it was Luke Queen for calling for questions at the wrong time (According to Humphries). Queen was thoroughly P.O.d at his outbreak and especially with me laughing at their publicity stunt that went haywire. There was some question if the school board Attorney (who was sitting behind me) had signaled to Luke but, Luke had to let Danny Blanton ask his very good questions and Ron Humphries was fuming at himself for acting like a fool. Which he was.
Blanton asked Fisher if the new roadways in and out of the auditorium areas had been reviewed for traffic control. That traffic at Crest especially had traffic issues because Crest High School and Crest Middle School were so close together. Fisher said that the traffic issues had been addressed in the auditorium design development. I suspect that Fisher could have been telling a lie about that. That he would go back and see if traffic had looked at, and if not, look at it. And hide any extra cost of the road changes so nobody would know that he was telling a fib.
Nobody else had any questions and Phillip Glover, a Democrat candidate for re-election, quickly made the motion to adopt the Resolution and begin Construction of the new auditoriums.
I laughed again. The Rogue Republicans had just let a Democrat, running for reelection to the School Board, take credit for finally building auditoriums at Burns and Crest High Schools. Outmaneuvered, Outwitted, Outfoxed, and Outsmarted; ALL. I would bet that Dennis Bailey, Kevin Whisnant, Wes Westmoreland, David Allen, Guy Smith, Hayden Soloway, Tim Moore, Kelly Hastings, Ted Alexander, and others were watching this meeting on their computers or TVs back home and just had a “hissy fit” when Glover made that motion. I also wondered if this crowd had been reading my mind when I previously stated that if Danny Blanton, Ronnie Grigg, and Annette Fain win the Republican Primary, the Rogue Republicans would turn to the Democrats in the General Election to defeat Blanton, Grigg, and Fain.
These crazy Rogue Republicans named above should be tarred, feathered, and rode out of Cleveland County on a rail. They would rather have a Democrat elected than a Republican that won’t kiss their collective asses. What fools they are. All of Cleveland County Republican Party Leadership, every one of them, should be forced to resign immediately from their positions in the Republican Party leadership. Amen to that idea!
PS: This article is long. I will send the Queen’s five-page bull-ony letter in another article. I am attaching a Robert A. Sample Ballot instead. As an election day guide.
PS Part II: Folks, Be sure to vote for Danny Blanton, Ronnie Grigg, and Annette Fain for the School Board in the Republican Primary Election. Don’t be fooled by the Rogue Republicans who only manage to make fools of themselves.
