@HiddenStormy Excellent point. It was the best way to have Sue step into a new light. Byrne, with this story, moved her ahead by leaps and bounds.

One of the few times I agree with @stephenasmith , but this is exactly what's happening. Division creates sides. Sides create conflict. It feeds itself. Wake up!

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Stephen A. Smith says he’ll never forget when two politicians ripped each other apart on TV, only to later spot them together at a restaurant “laughing it up.”

“I was in a booth next to them. And they were like, ‘That was some DAMN GOOD TELEVISION.’”

Smith says things on TV got “really bad” and “ugly.” So intense that you felt like you needed security on standby because they were “going to come to blows.”

But after the cameras stopped rolling, Smith says he spotted the same politicians “laughing it up” and “clanking glasses,” bragging about how they got “everybody fooled.”

Smith says this was a moment that “changed” his life politically forever. He couldn’t believe it.

He realized: “The more division you have, the more control you have because you’re forcing folks to pick a side.”

“Four fingers. The symbol of excellence. The symbol of the Horsemen. Be the best at whatever you choose to be.”

@Tully4HOF @TheArnShow @RicFlairNatrBoy - you have no idea how much that symbol has influenced me in my life. Thank you all for all the years of entertainment and also for setting the standard.

[Tully Blanchard @Tully4HOF]

The symbol, the men, and the full story.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mother figures in our lives. Some through blood, some through necessity, some through adoption and fostering, some through circumstance...all with a love like no other.

Remembering when Johnny gave Sue a Mother's Day card in 'Fantastic Four' #520 🌷🥲

[Mike Bandy @wmbandy]

Same. I talk with them about paying into social security through SE, and I get the "but you're supposed to keep me from paying taxes."

Then, they look at their future SS benefit calculation and wonder where it all went wrong. That's a hard conversation, and "told you so" doesn't feel right in that moment.

[Glenn Youngkin @GlennYoungkin]

Justice has been served. From the beginning, this was the most obvious violation of Virginia’s Constitution. Abigail Spanberger and Democrats in Richmond knowingly violated our constitution to disenfranchise millions of Virginians.

The Constitution prevailed, and Virginians will never forget this unlawful attempt to rob them of their voice in Congress.

@BringBackLSH @DCOfficial I just read this on DC Universe Infinite. Fantastic story!

@RDriscollCPA How much is it?

[Mike Bandy @wmbandy]

@whiskeymyers Reminds me a lot of The Black Crowes.

[Mike Bandy @wmbandy]

I'm glad @mattvanswol is calling this sensationalist (and skewed) "reporting" out. Has @60Minutes gone the way of click-bait journalism? It appears so.

Keep doing good anyway. What you do will always far outweigh what they say. The truth, as it always does, will come out in time. Matt is expediting the process here.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

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.

[Mike Bandy @wmbandy]

@marcuslemonis 100 percent agreed. Did you ever decided to run for president though, you’d have my vote.

[Mike Bandy @wmbandy]

@marcuslemonis I would. I specialize in small business accounting, consulting, and tax. Ran my own practice for almost 25 years now.
