During the height of effort to provide rescue and recovery efforts in #WNC,
We had Army National Guard, Air National Guard, Active Duty Army Personnel, NC State Troopers, Local Law enforcement, Air Guard helicopters, private helos, retired Special Operators, Special Operators on leave, and hundreds upon hundreds of civilian volunteers all working directly with us. We coordinated the effort, and built a small army of capable individuals who wanted only to be of service.
I faced personal attacks day after day with claims of everything from being responsible for running militia in the region to claims of being a federal agent plant, designating targets to use directed energy weapons (yes. Real rumor, said by actual people…. Wish I could make that up).
All the while we were able to move millions of pounds of supplies, establish a partnership with other Non-profits, build a supply line that included fixed wing into private airports, ground transportation to get supplies to distribution hubs, and helicopters to move critical supplies into the mountains.
We supplied all of Buncombe county with bottled oxygen because the county ran dry.
We supplied insulin to doctors and first responders, as well as diabetics in the mountains that had no access.
The list of heroic actions taken by the volunteers of SFRO is to many to count.
God blessed us with the abilities and opportunity to act.
We are now building homes. We aren’t stopping. We made a promise to help our neighbors. We live here. Some from Black Mountain, Asheville, Waynesville, and all over WNC.
We are grateful for @realDonaldTrump,@JDVance, @elonmusk@Mercury1Charity, @TimMoffitt, @glennbeck, @TedBuddNC, and so many others who have supported the effort on the ground.
We still need your help. We still need help rebuilding NC.
If you’d like to help rebuild homes!!

🚨This is the real truth about #FEMA, from people on the ground in Asheville.
I know this will upset a lot of people, but if you aren’t actually here, you do NOT understand how bad it really is.
Remember, this could be you one day.
Earlier today, a reporter standing outside the Senate chamber told me that, after four months of secrecy, The Firm™️ plans to release the text of the $106 billion supplemental aid / border-security package—possibly as soon as tomorrow.
Wasting no time, she then asked, “if you get the bill by tomorrow, will you be ready to vote on it by Tuesday?”
The words “hell no” escaped my mouth before I could stop them. Those are strong words where I come from. (Sorry, Mom).
The reporter immediately understood that my frustration was not directed at her.
Rather, it was directed at the Law Firm of Schumer & McConnell (“The Firm™��”), which is perpetually trying to normalize a corrupt approach to legislating—in which The Firm™️
(1) spends months drafting legislation in complete secrecy,
(2) aggressively markets that legislation based not on its details and practical implications (good and bad), but only on its broadest, least-controversial objectives,
(3) lets members see bill text for the first time only a few days (sometimes a few hours) before an arbitrary deadline imposed by The Firm™️ itself, always with a contrived sense of urgency, and then
(4) forces a vote on the legislation on or before that deadline, denying senators any real opportunity to read, digest, and debate the measure on its merits, much less introduce, consider, and vote on amendments to fix any perceived problems with the bill or otherwise improve it.
Whenever The Firm™️ engages in this practice, it largely excludes nearly every senator from the constitutionally prescribed process in which all senators are supposed to participate.
By so doing, The Firm™️ effectively disenfranchises hundreds of millions of Americans—at least for purposes relevant to the legislation at hand—and that’s tragic.
It’s also unAmerican, uncivil, uncollegial, and really uncool.
So why does The Firm™️ do it?
Every time The Firm™️ utilizes this approach and the bill passes—and it nearly always does—The Firm™️ becomes more powerful.
The high success rate is largely attributable to the fact that The Firm™️ has become very adept at (a) enlisting the help of the (freakishly cooperative) news media, (b) exerting peer pressure in a way that makes what you experienced in middle school look mild by comparison, and (c) rewarding those who consistently vote with The Firm™️ with various privileges that The Firm™️ is uniquely capable of offering (committee assignments, help with campaign fundraising, and a whole host of other widely coveted things that The Firm™️ is free to distribute in any manner it pleases).
It’s through this process that The Firm™️ passes most major spending legislation.
It’s through this process that The Firm™️ likely intends to pass the still-secret, $106 billion supplemental aid / border-security package, which The Firm™️ has spent four months negotiating, with the luxury of obsessing over every sentence, word, period, and comma.
I still don’t know exactly what’s in this bill, although I have serious concerns with it based on the few details The Firm™️ has been willing to share.
But under no circumstances should this bill — which would fund military operations in three distant parts of the world and make massive, permanent changes to immigration law — be passed next week.
Nor should it be passed until we have had adequate time to read the bill, discuss it with constituents, debate it, offer amendments, and vote on those amendments.
There’s no universe in which those things will happen by next week.
Depending on how long it is and the complexity of its provisions, the minimum period of time we should devote to this bill after it’s released should be measured in weeks or months, not days or hours.
Please share this if you agree.
Happy birthday to me!

No politician can hide from me, not even Nancy Pelosi.
She disclosed $NVDA call options on Nov 22.
Using Unusual Whales, we can find her EXACT trade.
She paid $1,888,050 total for her calls, done 20 minutes before close.
Her husband traded while Congress was in session.
