The Calendar today may say 2025,
but the Corruption has just continued from the many years gone by!!
And NOooo CC Official has yet been prosecuted!!!
Much less CONVICTED!! WHY NOT???
Questions, Reports, Opinions, Eritas and Conclusions -provided by Robert A
Editor’s Note: The biggest news today (Jan 4, 2025) is that an American Citizen turned Terrorist by ISIS attacked a large crowd of other American Citizen in New Orleans by ramming them with a big truck. Ten were killed outright and 30 or so were injured. Of which five of the injured have also died from their injuries as of today.
Within hours another terrorist (seemingly ISIS related to the first terrorist) packed a Tesla car full of fireworks, bombs and explosives, pulled up at the Front Door of the Trump Towers In Las Vegas, and simultaneously shot himself in the head and set off the explosives.
And, just hours after that somebody in a Subway Station in New York City “violently” pushed another person in front of a Subway Train.
However, the FBI, Local Law Enforcement, City Officials and the White House were so bum-fuzzled (and Joe Biden was out of the Country on another long vacation) by the first two terrorist attacks that they can’t tell whether the New York Subway attack was terrorist related or just business as usual in New York.
And, according to the Calendar, this was just another “Democrat” day in America that just happened to occur on the First Day of January, 2025.

BUT, Folks, down here in good ole Kleveland Kounty, NC things happen at a much slower pace. Some of our most notorious crimes and corruption happened years ago may go unsolved until the very last person with knowledges of it either die or everything is just finally forgotten by all. Let’s name a few.
December 7, 2024—Unnamed man shot by Shelby Police at Oak Tree Lodge, Shelby NC. News stated “Man armed with several knives during domestic dispute, when shots rang out… (How does a man armed only with knives threaten to or fire the first shots?) Note that the Governor’s Inn, also in Shelby has been temporarily shut-down under a Nuisance Complaint filed by the SPD because of violence, drugs and Prostitution. Also note this question. What will happen when the new $700 Million$ Indian Casino near Kings Mountain fully opens up with Gambling, Drugs and Prostitution. (drugs are everywhere now and Prostitution seems to follow Gambling Casinos: Ref: Las Vegas.)
The Catawba Casino is being built to benefit the Catawba Indian Tribe, based in South Carolina. They are very poor and need all the help they can get. Question? If the Catawbas are so poor, who i going to loan a tribe of POOR Indians $700 Million to build a new Casino and Hotel Complex???
December 4, 2024– Year old infant shot by 3-year-old toddler with .22 Rifle in Lawndale…Sheriff Alan Norman says “when it comes to securing your firearms: make sure they’re in a place you can access in case of an emergency, but that they’re not accessible to children.
November, 2024. Lots of complaints about FEMA Fraud and other emergency responses related to Hurricane Helene. KK Kommissioners vote 5-0 to pocket $12.5 MILLION$ from FEMA with ZERO public discussion or documents presented that show just what Kleveland Kounty did to deserve this payment. More later about this.
July 4, 2024, A negligently unattended two-year old toddler, Wyatt Scott Gordon, drowns in his Grandparents swimming pool during a well-attended July 4th Celebration Party.
All over 2024: Many public complaints and criminal allegations against KK Kommissioner Deb Hardin and other Kommissioners related to dog fights, dog bites, Rabies Vaccination Records in disarray, conflicts of interest and improperly licensed animal shelters. Most likely sour grapes from fired county Animal Control employee. Note that Public Complaints against Kommissioners deserve public answers FROM Kommissioners. No Public Answers were ever provided by Kommissioners. Or Documented for the public to see for themselves.
2013–The phony Sale of the Cleveland County Hospital to CMS for $100,000,000. (One Hundred Million$). When a similar hospital system in Wilmington sold for $5,000,000,000. FIFTY times as much!
2013: The $1,000.000 (MILLION DOLLAR) Check the Kleveland Kounty Kommissioners made out to the American Legion World Series, Baseball, Inc (Kommissioner Eddie Holbrook) without ever disclosing where that Million Dollars came from. (The gossip was that CMS somehow gave Kommissioner Eddie Holbrook a Million Dollar Check to close that sweetheart deal Hospital Sale. And Eddie Holbrook CASHED that CMS related Check into his personal account. Then Eddie Holbrook personally becomes afraid of his accepting this “Bribe.” So, Eddie Holbrook turned the Million Dollars over to Kleveland Kounty and Kleveland Kounty wrote out a check for One Million Dollars to the American Legion World Series, Baseball, Inc., which belonged to Eddie Holbrook.
2001-Asha Degree Disappearance and now the latest scandal in 2024 when the FBI, SBI and the CCSD basically ganged up to falsely “accuse” Roy Lee Dedmon, his whole family and a dead man (or maybe two dead men)” of a wrong doing. Even when THEY could not “prove” that any WRONGDOING had ever taken place. Although they did impound an old green Nash-Rambler with a dent on the front end. When the description of the car they were looking for was a green Thunderbird or Lincoln Continental. None of which resemble a Nash Rambler. Since this last fiasco, when Attorney David Teddy stepped in to represent Roy Lee Dedmon, the FBI, SBI and the CCSD have gone into a “hidey-hole of silence” ever since. Like nothing ever happened at all. Which is a Kleveland Kounty tradition!!!
Then, there are the mostly forgotten issues from further back in the past.
2000-2014–The 200+ Kleveland Kounty School P-Cards (Credit Cards) Scandal which defrauded taxpayers of Hundreds of Thousand$ (perhaps $Million$) that resulted in the “Retirement” that quickly turned into a “Resignation” of the CCS Superintendent, in lieu of Criminal Prosecutions. And, the very next day the CCS Superintendent went to work for Gardner-Webb University. Like nothing had ever happened. Another Kleveland Kounty Tradition.
1990’s-The CC Trash Dump Land Flip Scandal—Where land bequeathed to Gardner Webb University by Ralph Gardner was “flipped” by a Former State Senator (using a proxy middleman) from Gardner Webb to the Middleman and one minute later the middleman flipped to the Kleveland Kounty Kommissioners for more than DOUBLE the PRICE.
1987 Triple Murder at CC Dirty Movie Store (RAWSTORY) (More Later)
Over 40 years ago:
Brenda Sue Brown was 8 or nine years old when she was found beaten to death near her home in Shelby. Over the years there was much speculation regarding her killer. Many were accused by the gossip crowd but there were never any trial or convictions. Mr. “Soupy” Price was finally charged many, many years later with the crime by the KK District Attorney. Mr. Price hired Attorney David Teddy to defend him, but many years later Mr. Price died of old age before the case ever came up for trial.
Folks, The list above represents just a sneak preview of what Robert A has “discovered” over the years that bear more looking into. And, reporting to the people of Cleveland County about. No matter what Calendar Years these scandalous events have happened in, NO FINAL JUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE!!!
Stay Tuned Kleveland Kounty!!! Robert A always says “IF I CAN’T ‘FIX’ A PROBLEM, THEN IT AIN’T BROKE!!!
And, KK has lots of problems!!
