Yes it has. They couldn’t stand the BAD PR!..............
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:

And “Back the Blue” will do the arresting.
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........
Lake Lure fire chief,
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.
Looks like none of the authorities in the article have names
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
There will be ground holds and restricted airspace NOTAMs whenever the Big Guy decides to do his lookie-loo visit.
Now, if it were illegal aliens he was helping....medal of freedom time with Bidet*
Possible conservative deplorables?
Arrest him.
Lack of names always makes me suspicious

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.
"Now, Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority conferred in me by said Act of Congress, do hereby declare and proclaim that I have found that there exists a national emergency [...]" —Proclamation 1354—Emergency in Water Transportation of the United States (non-FR)
”I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” —James Madison, Speech at the Virginia Convention to ratify the Federal Constitution (1788-06-06)
”The system of the General Government is to seize all doubtful ground. We must join in the scramble, or get nothing. Where first occupancy is to give right, he who lies still loses all.” —Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 1797.
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.
"16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states [emphasis added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.
The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
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.
