2021

Political disinformation is not new, neither are politicians who use it knowingly or unknowingly. 

On February 26, 2021, a social media post was made by Senator Bob Steinburg to his personal Facebook page where he stated that a grandparent of a middle-school student called him, the grandparent’s grandson “was asked to play the part of a transgender” in a virtual class play. Additionally, Senator Bob Steinburg wrote that “If this nonsense has already seeped into rural classrooms then what’s next.” and asked for more engagement in school boards and that “schools- get back to what we are paying you to do- teaching our students academics!” Senator Bob Steinburgs official government Facebook page does not have this issue posted nor any follow-up to the issues raised.

Based on the Tyrrell county school’s investigation into this matter, we have since learned that what was stated by Senator Bob Steinburg, was not corroborated by the school’s findings.

The foundation of cooking great barbecue, or any protein for that matter, is the ability to cook to perfect moisture and tenderness.  Moisture and tenderness are very much related.  Cook your protein too long and you’ll cause all of the intermuscular fat and collagen to evaporate, resulting in dry meat.  Undercooked proteins are unsafe to eat and can be tough and dry because those same fats and collagens haven’t had time to properly break down.
