It has been revealed that the City of Asheville, NC, will reportedly rebuild only 8 houses using the $225 million grant it received from the Trump administration following Hurricane Helene.
That's correct…..Eight.…out of 11,488 damaged homes.
The city allocated only $3 million for home repairs.
Meanwhile, $14.9 million was allocated for “administration.”
That means nearly five times more was allocated for administration than for repairing homes for people affected by the disaster.
And that's not the worst of it….
More than 100 approved families are reportedly currently on a waitlist for assistance that they may never receive.
After receiving the $225 million federal grant, Asheville residents deserve answers about exactly where the money is going — and how much is actually reaching families whose homes were damaged or destroyed. @asheville@AvlWatchdog H/T Deep Leaks
Karolyn Leavitt gives brief summary of what Trump policy has done for women.
DEMOCRAT WOMEN, WHY ARE YOU VOTING FOR Dems?
Trump-era policies affecting women and young children span two terms and mix tax relief, family-support measures, childcare incentives, and rules framed as protecting female athletes and minors. Effects vary by income, and some provisions (especially the Child Tax Credit) deliver more to working families that owe federal income tax than to the lowest-income households. Independent analyses and administration data document the following.
Tax relief and family cash support
The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act doubled the Child Tax Credit from $1,000 to $2,000 per qualifying child and expanded eligibility. Administration figures stated that nearly 40 million families claimed it, with an average benefit around $2,200. https://t.co/IrzMBj07iM
The 2025 Working Families Tax Cuts (also called the One Big Beautiful Bill Act) raised the maximum credit to $2,200, made the higher amount permanent, and indexed it to inflation. Treasury data from the first filing season under the law reported that nearly 40 million families claimed the enhanced credit and that most tax relief went to filers earning under $200,000. https://t.co/VTKiaBmlH0
The same 2025 law created “Trump Accounts”—tax-advantaged investment accounts for children under 18. Eligible children born 2025–2028 can receive a one-time $1,000 federal seed contribution. By mid-2026 more than 5.5 million accounts had been opened; 86 percent were linked to families earning under $200,000, and 1.4 million children were eligible for the seed payment. https://t.co/VTKiaBmlH0
The 2017 law also created a tax credit for employers that offer paid family leave and allowed penalty-free withdrawals of up to $5,000 from retirement accounts after a birth or adoption. Paid parental leave was later extended to federal employees. [15]
Childcare, adoption, and early-childhood support
First-term legislation included the largest increase in Child Care and Development Block Grant funding up to that point. The 2025 law raised the employer-provided childcare credit (from $150,000 to $500,000, with a higher cap for some small businesses) and expanded the share of expenses that can be claimed. It also made a larger portion of the adoption credit refundable. https://t.co/HOkJ51I29F
In 2026 the administration announced additional childcare reforms, a https://t.co/TMamUeDqIl resource portal for expectant and new mothers, and guidance encouraging employers to offer fertility benefits. Cost reductions for certain IVF-related drugs were pursued through the TrumpRx platform. https://t.co/UBaL1NULVB
First Lady Melania Trump’s Fostering the Future initiative produced a dedicated fund, a digital platform for youth aging out of foster care, additional housing vouchers, and efforts to stop states from diverting federal benefits that belong to foster youth. https://t.co/UBaL1NULVB
Women’s sports, sex-based policies, and child-protection rules
Executive actions and legislation defined sex as binary and biological for federal purposes, barred federal funding for medical interventions to change the sex characteristics of minors, and directed that women and girls not be required to compete against biological males in sports. Administration statements and conservative policy groups present these as protections for female athletes’ fairness and safety and as limits on irreversible procedures for children. Over 40 health systems reportedly stopped offering the covered procedures after the funding ban. https://t.co/UBaL1NULVB
Broader economic context cited for families
First-term data showed record-low unemployment rates for women, faster wage growth at the lower end of the scale, and declines in poverty and food-insecurity measures. The 2025 tax package added “no tax on tips,” “no tax on overtime,” and other provisions that Treasury said disproportionately reached working families. https://t.co/bmI1v5xIsj
U.S. Muslim population is estimated at about 5.5 million in 2026 (Pew), up from 2.4 million in 2007.
America, keep a close watch on the activity of all these mosques 🕌.
Thinking of all of the survivors and all those we lost and their families.
A big thank you to all the first responders and those that made the ultimate sacrifice. And to all the first responders and civilians that worked the scene everyday THANK YOU!
Every single one of you matter!!!!

Dear @WhiteHouse
I want to interview for @PressSec
I’ve 30 years media experience
I’ve been round the block more times than a garbage truck
And I’ve been ridden hard & put to bed wet.
The press pack deserves me. In the worst possible way.

In addition to blocking the Save America Act, John Thune is allowing 40 million dollars a week to be sent to the Taliban.
John Thune is clearly working for the uniparty cult, not the American people.
Absolutely disgusting.
🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting in Florida after a 19-year-old whose speeding Mustang K*LLED two elderly people last year...
...was just caught doing 120 to 130 MPH, running stop signs, and turning off his headlights to escape cops...
...ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE.
AND HE IS STILL WALKING FREE.
His name is Denis Maldonado-Reyes, he's 19 years old, in Apopka, Florida.
Back in November, troopers say he was driving 90 miles per hour in a 45 zone. Double the limit.
His Ford Mustang plowed into the side of a LYNX transit van as it turned.
Two people inside that van were k*lled.
Jerry Earl, 81 years old.
Aida Maldonado, 94 years old.
He tried to blame the VAN.
Nearly a YEAR later, that fatal case still hasn't been resolved.
He pleaded not guilty and he's been walking free the entire time.
And what did he do with that freedom?
Late last month, a deputy saw his Mustang blow through a four-way stop. Pass a car over a double yellow line. Then TURN OFF HIS HEADLIGHTS in the dark to try to disappear.
The chase hit 130mph.
And he was doing it all on a SUSPENDED LICENSE.
Suspended because he never paid a ticket for illegally blowing past a stopped SCHOOL BUS.
WHY IS HE WALKING FREE?????????
WE. DO. NOT. HAVE. TO. LIVE. LIKE. THIS.
⛽️ A GASOLINE STORY:
WIFE: "Four dollars and fifteen cents a gallon! I nearly fell over at the pump. Thanks a lot, Trump. And that whole mess with Iran."
HUSBAND: "Whoa, whoa. Not so fast, hon."
WIFE: "Not so fast? Gas is through the roof!"
HUSBAND: "Here's the crazy part. Oil is actually about forty bucks a barrel CHEAPER than it was under Biden. The barrel isn't the problem."
WIFE: "Then why am I paying four fifteen?!"
HUSBAND: "Refining. Turning the oil into gasoline. That's the bottleneck. And get this - we haven't built a major new refinery in this country since 1977."
WIFE: "Nineteen seventy-SEVEN? I was in high school!"
HUSBAND: "Not one. And we keep shutting down the ones we've got. California alone is closing about eighteen percent of its refineries!"
WIFE: "Who shuts down a refinery when gas costs this much?!"
HUSBAND: "The Democrats. They spent fifty years regulating them to death - permits, lawsuits, fees, and a promise to ban gas cars. Who's going to spend a billion dollars building something Washington swears it's going to outlaw?"
WIFE: "So it was never really about Iran."
HUSBAND: "Iran nudges the barrel a little. But the real story? We've got more oil than any country on Earth and we STILL import six million barrels a day, because we can't refine our own."
WIFE: "That is absolutely insane."
HUSBAND: "Here's the good news. Trump just broke ground on the first new refinery in almost fifty years, down in Texas."
WIFE: "So I've been blaming Trump and HE is the only one actually fixing it?"
HUSBAND: "Now you're getting it."
WIFE: "Wow, I had no idea..."
🚨 SHOCKING BETRAYAL IN THE SENATE! 🚨
Rep. Tim Burchett just grilled Senate Leader John Thune: Why has the House bill to STOP U.S. taxpayer dollars from funding the TALIBAN been sitting for nearly 11 MONTHS with ZERO action?!
Thune admitted he hadn’t even READ it.
Every week of delay = $40 MILLION more of YOUR money flowing to terrorists in Afghanistan!
This is INSANE. Americans are funding our enemies while Congress sleeps?!
DEMAND A VOTE NOW!
RT if you’re furious! Tag your Senators! #FundTheTalibanNoMore #DrainTheSwamp #AmericaFirst
@SaltyGoat17 I would add that they get no more than 3 months assistance, must be employed in that 3 months and paying taxes and they must assimilate to our country, speak English and become a US citizen.
31 YEARS in prison for taking her daughter’s life just hours after losing custody.
24-year-old Maige Yang of Champlin, Minnesota, was sentenced to 31 years and 8 months after pleading guilty to intentionally causing the death of her daughter, De’Ali, by putting a large amount of children’s sleeping medication into her bottle.
The timing is almost impossible to comprehend.
De’Ali’s father, Erick Delgado, had been fighting for custody. Just a week earlier, he sought emergency custody, telling the court Yang was behaving erratically and that he believed she may have untreated mental-health issues.
Then on January 9, he finally won temporary custody.
According to Delgado, that happened around 11:30 a.m.
By roughly 4 p.m., his daughter was gone.
Yang later told investigators she wanted De’Ali to “pass peacefully in her sleep” and that she was trying to “make the pain go away.”
She has now pleaded guilty and will spend decades behind bars.
Mental health may help explain how someone’s thinking can become this distorted. It doesn’t make the ending any less devastating.
A father fought through the courts to protect his little girl.
He finally won.
He just never got the chance to bring her home.

The fact that it took one lone juror to keep a monster from walking free tells you everything you need to know about our culture. Once you legalize murder up until birth and celebrate it, life completely loses its value.
We are called to be salt and light in this world. We can’t just sit back and say nothing when we’re faced with this kind of evil.
