Also, @googlemaps why you don’t adjust for time zone change in the arrival time is asinine to me. Any other form of travel displays arrival time local to the destination.
@apple or @googlemaps, one of you please integrate with @accuweather and give us a radar feature. You know my route, they know at what approximate minute the rain is going to stop. When I drive into a downpour I would love to know how long it’s going to last 🙏
Why did @ChuckEdwards4NC sell us out to the chemical companies? Why does he want them to have federal immunity?
@adamrsmithfornc has committed to say no to immunity for Monsanto. The choice is clear! Time to go, Chemical Chuck… you sold our children’s health to Monsanto! #MAHA
It was such an honor to be at @Mercury1Charity For His Glory event last night. It’s because of Mercury 1, @glennbeck and @jpauldecker that many lives were saved. It wasn’t just during the immediate relief effort, but has been an ongoing effort that’s continued to today.
Im grateful I get to call you all friend.

The Adam R. Smith for Congress Official Merchandise Store is now live!
Every purchase is a donation toward the campaign. Wear it, share it, let people know where you stand.
It’s longer than most videos. But watch it. I promise it’s moving.
You had to be there. But if you weren’t, Dustin’s Way Collective was—capturing the chaos, the grit, and the heart of Savage Ops in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
What you’ve seen online is just the surface. We have hundreds of hours of unseen footage that tell the full story of volunteers, veterans, and community members rising together.
Until now, this reel has only been shared privately to try and secure funding for a full documentary. On the one-year anniversary, we’re sharing it publicly for the first time.
If you know someone who can help us bring this story to the world, please reach out. We promised not to let Western North Carolina be forgotten and want to share the reality of what we saw firsthand.

Unapologetic leadership is going to Washington!!
Thanks @JDVance for keeping Western North Carolina on the mind of the nation.
I look forward to working with you to help WNC continue to rebuild.
Hurricane Helene left WNC in ruins. Adam Smith built an airbase in a Harley dealer's parking lot. Rep. Edwards brought only excuses. Now, Smith wants to hold him accountable. #NC11#election2026#ncpol

Saturday 20 Sept. 2025, I had the honor and privilege of announcing my candidacy for the NC-11 US Congressional District.
We were blessed with the opportunity to serve our neighbors of Western North Carolina during the Helene rescue and recovery efforts. I watched first hand just how inefficient the bureaucracy truly is.
I have no desire to be a politician, but I simply won’t sit on the sidelines while weak representation refuse to stand up for their district.
The next 5 months are going to be a heavy lift. However I know my neighbors and the residents of WNC are ready for someone who’s willing to talk straight, stand our ground on the values we hold so dear, and push back on the nonsense constantly being pushed by insanity of the left.

Just over a month has passed since Western North Carolina was devastated by Hurricane Helene. Swannanoa, Savage Freedoms Relief Operations formed from the ground up, as well as much of Buncombe county, were left in the wake of destruction. Many families lost everything; some even lost loved ones.
From across the country, your outpouring support has been humbling. Thank you to every single person, agency, and organization that’s shown up—whether in those critical first hours or still showing up today—to restore resources like power and water, clear roads, conduct wellness checks, and get essential supplies to those who need them most—with Savage Freedoms or likewise. Even as the media moves on, we’re in this together, and the work is far from over.
In the aftermath of disaster, the immediate search and rescue operations are just the beginning. As the rescue efforts wind down, focus shifts to recovery, then the rebuilding phase starts. It is going to take a lot to rebuild these communities in WNC. There are roads and driveways to fix and structures and piles of debris to clear. People urgently need temporary and permanent housing. Right now, we’re focused on bringing in tiny homes, campers, and RVs to provide immediate shelter as winter approaches. The unfortunate reality for those requiring more than an emergency repair permit is that they are facing a hard wait for floodplain remapping and rezoning decisions before they can rebuild. We are grateful to be able to still be here helping and have resources left to assist with rebuilding homes and businesses!
As of today, Savage Freedoms Relief Operations has raised $600,000! And that doesn’t even include the value of the millions of pounds of donated supplies that have been received. What we have done with the materials and skilled labor contributed by generous people and volunteers has allowed every dollar to be allocated to maximize impact. We are tirelessly working to rebuild lives, homes, and hope!
But there’s still more work to be done. Every dollar, every volunteer hour, and every supply counts. If you’d like to contribute, please visit https://t.co/HlkUmqYCwb or reach out directly if you have other resources to share. Thank you for your support!

Had a chance today to speak with former President @realDonaldTrump, as well as continue to keep our promise to not let WNC be forgotten.
I've said it again we have a chance to make a serious change. This is a hat I do not want to wear, and have been told by many who are close to me that when God chooses those to move mountains it's often the most unlikely, and to not push back against it.
I get to wear the hat now as we continue to move forward in our efforts to help WNC rebuild while also working hard to make changes at the National level with regards to the National Disaster Response Strategy.

Mr. @elonmusk, we need your help in Western North Carolina with Starlink pre-activated for 30 days. @RoyCooperNC, thank you for the 500 guardsmen but WNC needs many more. FEMA, the Baptists are here, where are you? Many good organizations to donate but @SamaritansPurse and @nc_missions are on the ground.

@CameranKnipp@Sprite@Sprite please don’t make me travel across the country to Club Cool for a 4oz cup of it. I would like to buy it by the case at my local Target! 🥺🙏🏻
