I’m going to say this before the result of #SuperBowlLX is known…
This has been one of the best seasons for me as a Patriots fan. I had few expectations for the team and was rewarded with unthinkable results.
Every Tom Brady Super Bowl, with the exception of 36, there was a stress and anxiety of losing. With a second year Drake Maye, I have none of that. The game is an opportunity and that’s it.
The Patriots don’t need to win the Super Bowl for this season to remain magical.
@chatham58 No points for style. Win ugly, win with flare, win by one point win by 30 it doesn’t matter. Win and advance. One game at a time. This is something that Vrabel established immediately with his team and they wholeheartedly bought in. They are truly a great TEAM. #GoPats
@TheDegenWeekly He kept saying “they’re dealing with real conditions. It’s real conditions out there. These conditions are real” no shit Tony we can all see it’s real. 😆
Trump's win shows us who we really are: This article by professor Aaron W. Hughey is one of the most powerful and accurate post-election indictments of America you'll ever read. 😳👇
Last thought before attempting to go to bed: if Americans are willing to reelect Trump after everything he’s said in the past three months, there’s nothing Harris could’ve done.
To follow up my last tweet saying you would have to basically start over from the ground up with a complete reengineering of the entire infrastructure, here’s why this can’t be fixed in traditional terms.
Most people see the road is gone and think “aye let’s bring in some clay and build it back up and throw some asphalt down.” That’s only 1 element of public utilities at play.
Now take that same mindset and repeat for your power grid, your internet, your municipal drinking water systems, municipal sewer systems, storm water runoff & management, any natural gas service, and a few others.
But before any of that can take place you will have to re survey all of these areas, change property lines, setbacks, right of ways, and procure new property from landowners where suitable conditions are found.
And the killer here will be all of this will have to be done to the modern standard which will cost much more than it did when these utilities were originally installed.
I need people to understand something with the news coverage regarding effects of hurricane Helene. There is a lot more to the NC Mountains than Asheville.
Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Vilas, Sugar Grove, Elk Park, West Jefferson, Black Mountain, Swannanoa, Sylva, Cullowhee, Brevard, Bryson City, Hendersonville, Cherokee, Waynesville, Burnsville, Candler, Canton, Spruce Pine, Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Linville, Marshall, Maggie Valley, Newland, Grandfather, Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Old Fort, Morganton, Marion are just a few of the cities and towns that have been flooded and/or destroyed. The counties of Yancey, Mitchell, Avery, Ashe, Watauga, Transylvania, Burke, Caldwell, Alleghany, Madison, Buncombe, McDowell, Rutherford, Polk, Henderson, Wilkes, Haywood, Jackson, Macon, Clay, Cherokee, and Swain are devastated and in need of the same help, some even more.
Other counties that fall under various definitions of Western North Carolina include: Alexander County, Catawba County, Cleveland County, Surry County and Yadkin County. When these counties are added, they form a total regional area of roughly 11,750 square miles (30,400 km2).
This makes the region roughly the size of Massachusetts. Western North Carolina holds 11% of our state's population.
There are millions of people up there with no electricity, no communication, no water, and no way to get out or let rescue teams even know where they are. I am not taking anything away from Asheville and the utter destruction there or any other areas in NC that have damage. The level of destruction is unimaginable. But it's not one or two cities or towns that are in need of help.
This does not include the destroyed areas in the Tennessee mountains, Western Virginia, Georgia, or South Carolina.
Please do 2 things for me:
1. Donate to Operation Airdrop, Samaritan’s Purse, or Fleet of Angels (or all 3!)
2. Contact news media to get coverage for ALL of Western North Carolina. People need to know the full scope of this disaster so that more people can get desperately needed help. And so more people can be located because a lot of us have loved ones up there and we don't know if they're dead or alive.
These are our homes. These are places we raise our families. These are communities I work in on a daily basis. My heart breaks for everyone involved.
We practiced with caskets that were stored outside our barracks building. To simulate the weight of honored remains, we’d toss several full sandbags into the belly of the casket and then, for hours, we’d go through our exact movements.
Over and over and over.

Dear Democrats:
Many Americans (myself included) will be voting Democrat for the first time in our lives this November.
We’re not doing this because we agree with Democrats on policy; we’re doing it because we understand the need to stop Trump from destroying our Constitution.
If you see us non-Democrat Kamala supporters on Twitter espousing beliefs you disagree with, like on taxes or guns or whatever, try to let it go. Don’t be jerks. Don’t disparage and argue, expecting us to toe the Democrat line, because we won’t. We’re not Democrats. Being hostile to us will backfire and endanger our alliance.
We’ve made common cause with you in this election because our democracy faces an existential threat. We agree Trump is dangerous and we want to work with you to defeat him. Let’s be grateful for this mutual cooperation.
We can go back to arguing and being opponents after November. Until then, we have a country to save.
