Check your town councils and planning committees. They’re full of them. We had a local issue here a few years ago, when the council made a massive decision without the input of the townsfolk first.

The very next time elections came around, every single one of those jerks was voted out. Every single one. Good riddance!

They’ve been spotted, and now they aren’t welcome to try that bs again. If they ever run for election for something else, I’m pretty sure there will a big stink. The gloves will come off and they’ll be made into mincemeat.

They don’t even want drones flying about to locate victims needing help. Keeping the skies clear for their non-rescue efforts. Unbelievable.

This is the best media report I’ve seen, which is not really surprising, as it’s coming from an “alternative” source, vs. the legacy establishment media.

But there are still questions that should be pretty easy to answer. Like, who was the guy who told the pilot to get lost? What’s his side of the story?

Lake Lure has a full-time fire department, and the chief’s name is listed on their website, so it shouldn’t be too hard for a reporter to at least call and try to reach him. It’s easy to imagine that he might be a little preoccupied, but they could at least report “we tried to reach the department at the public number, but were unable to contact a representative at the time this article went to print.”

Would be good to follow up after things settle down a bit as well.

Here’s the guy:

Does anyone remember about 15-20 years ago there was a terrible flooding of the Mississippi River. One of the states along there was not getting any emergency help. It turned out that the female governor had received a call from the DNC or maybe the democrat president’s staff telling her not to do anything. It seems like this has become SOP for the dems. I’m trying to find the details on that situation.


More justification for breaking away from the US and creating our own country. Sorry but I’m not willing to live under their rules anymore. When will the right stand up for themselves and start doing? Enough talk........

Reading the article, it was one dude that was a bit freaked out being stoopid.

Sounds like it got sorted out in fairly short order, and work progressing as it should the next morning.

Sheesh - a little grace can go a long way in dealing with some human frailty here.

How does this not make them look worse than people dying? I will never understand their sick convoluted logic. That’s something I can thank God for

Thank you for referencing that article Red Badger.

"Firefighter threatened with arrest in NC after using own helicopter to rescue hurricane victims as Biden-Harris admin restricts private flights, drones over affected areas [??? emphasis added]"


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Although federal relief from natural disasters would arguably be the best invention since sliced bread, it remains that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds the specific power to either provide relief from natural disasters, or to regulate air traffic.

Note that the Wright Brothers' first airplane was invented long after Constitution was ratified, the neglected Constitution never appropriately amended for regulating peacetime flying machines.

But more importantly imo, consider that misguided activist President Woodrow Wilson is the one who signed Congress's National Emergency Bill into law, the unconstitutional law (imo) giving presidents the first-time, constitutionally indefensible unilateral power to declare national emergencies, POTUS not even having express constitutional power to declare war.

Also note that troubled times as a consequence of WWI gave Wilson the politically correct excuse to sign National Emergency Act.

Think of unconstitutional federal relief for victims of Helene as reparations for victims paying unconstitutional federal taxes for the last 100+ years.

As for the rest of us, we'll get our reparations when the new Congress that we support Trump with on Election Day supports hopeful Trump 47 in leading the states to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments.

Since Congress and renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are enemies of the people imo, evidenced by Congress's failure to impeach and remove Mayorkas from office because of failed, politically correct open border policy, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.

In fact, it's up to us Trump supporters to take the first MAJOR step in draining the swamp by supporting hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.

Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.

Western NC is deep red.

The Democrat scum are going to drag their feet on this just enough to screw up the voting there in western NC come election day....giving the Dems a good shot at Prez & Governor.

Sounds like:
-Local fire chief didn’t know what to to, so he said stop.
-Local fire chief just being a self-important dick

They’ve been doing it to private landlords over the last 3.5 years with “tenant protections” and “good cause eviction”

Remember when “George Bush don’t care about black folks?”

Well Joe Bi-Dung and Kamalama Ding Dong don’t care about white folks.
