🚨HEAD’S UP, NC🚨
Why are power bills going up? I can tell you why in NC.
Duke asked the North Carolina Utilities Commission to approve an increase to customer’s costs by 15% over the next two years.
But why?
Try this on for size: Duke Energy has a net profit of $5B! Yet they expect us to pay for a new fleet, diversified portfolios, coal ash cleanup, solar panels, and a storm reserve.
That’s right. The increase in our cost isn’t for better service. It’s so that they can keep up their profit margins AND expand to rake in even more of our hard earned dollars.
Why are we subsidizing a company’s growth and funding their capital investments?
And is the NCUC going to approve this pay increase?
Ayn Rand: "Under a free system, no one could acquire a monopoly on anything. If you look at economics, and economic history, you will discover that all monopolies have been established with government help."
The historic Great Smoky Mountains Railroad Depot sits in the heart of Bryson City, North Carolina. The train is an ideal way to see the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Nantahala National Forest, Fontana Lake, pristine mountain rivers, historic structures, & stunning foliage.
Out of every disgusting, dishonest piece of filth the mainstream media has produced about Hurricane Helene...
This is the worst.
60 Minutes has NEVER done a story on the families FEMA denied.
They NEVER mentioned the Amish, who are STILL in the mountains rebuilding homes 550 days later.
They NEVER mentioned Jake Jarvis, who has worked 550 days STRAIGHT FOR FREE for Hurricane Helene victims.
Instead, they dug up some fringe conspiracy angle to smear the people who actually showed up as White Nationalists.
I'm so angry.
Let me tell you what 60 Minutes will NEVER report on
I was there. I lived it. I am still here.
I shared every story I could find.
Me, my wife, hundreds of volunteers delivered RVs to mothers holding babies who were sleeping in TOOL SHEDS AND TENTS in the freezing cold, in the mountains.
Because their homes had been ripped off the side of a mountain and washed down the French Broad.
So tell me 60 Minutes... WHERE WAS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?
Tell me, WHY did all these volunteers NEED to show up?
Any thoughts on that?!!!!!
Any investigation AT ALL into the federal or state government's response to Hurricane Helene?
Please tell me... if the federal government was doing such a GREAT JOB, why did we need to put victims in RVs...
...A MONTH AFTER THE HURRICANE?!!!!!!!
Literally every single victim you talk to in Western North Carolina has a horror story about dealing with FEMA...
...and guess who they will all say actually cam through for them?
Neighbors.
Church groups.
The Amish.
The Cajun Navy.
Shawn Hendricks.
Samaritan's Purse.
MercuryOne.
The Mission Mules hauling insulin up washed-out roads, ONLY ACCESSIBLE by mules.
Greg Biffle burning his own fuel in helicopters.
Veterans like Adam Smith who organized helicopter rescues with other veterans BY HIMSELF and then was demonized by the media for it.
Volunteers like Jake Jarvis working TO THIS DAY, 550 days later without ANY PAY AT ALL.
THOSE ARE THE STORIES FROM HURRICANE HELENE WORTH TELLING.
But 60 Minutes won't tell ANY OF THEM.
Because the truth makes the federal government the villain and the "deplorables" are actually the heroes in this story and they can NEVER admit that.
So instead they smeared the rescuers as white nationalists.
This is unforgivable.
I was there. I saw it with my own eyes.
And I will BE DAMNED if I let CBS rewrite the history of what happened to my mountains.

NC ...
after a WILMINGTON pilot of this "harm reduction"/diversion program, Stain just gave NC HARM REDUCTION COALITION/NCHRC $1.5 MILLION to expand into more counties.
NCHRC is accountable only to the IRS (while it's TAX EXEMPT) and NC Gov'nor -- NOT victims or taxpayers!
**11.07am**
There has been a fatal crash near 2347 Junaluska Road (close to the recycling center) in the Nantahala Community. Please use caution in the area as an investigation by the highway patrol may take several hours.

North Carolina voters were sold a promise: 38% of lottery money would go to our schools.
Now in 2025? It’s down to 16%.
That’s not a shortfall — that’s a betrayal.
Where is the rest of the money going, and why are our students paying the price? If the lottery isn’t funding education like promised, then it’s time to call it what it is: a broken system that needs real accountability.
Our kids deserve better. #NCPublicSchools #FollowTheMoney

Someone who buys a home, pays his mortgage, and obeys the law should not spend every year worrying about vicious property tax increases. #ncpol#northcarolina
North Carolinians are fed up, and quite frankly, so am I.
Property taxes continue to skyrocket while some local governments collect far more than growth can justify.
That stops now. House Republicans are committed to REAL solutions and REAL results for taxpayers.
