I think the reason this is so heart-warming is that it feels like the true America. It feels like freedom, it feels like hope. There is enthusiasm and sincerity, that are sorely lacking from the leftist Democrats. Nobody was paid to be there, and there was just a lot of patriotic and community goodwill. That's why we have to win. That's why I believe and hope that we will.
Please donate what you can, try to find a nonprofit to donate to. Uh, church, local PD. A lot of those are taking donations, sheriff's departments. I know my department is running a bunch of stuff to the western part of the state to help donate, but please do not donate to FEMA.
They are hindering a lot of what people are trying to accomplish out in the western part of the state.
FEMA doesn't understand that these Appalachian people are built differently. I'm very familiar with them. They are not gonna stand by idly and have government officials tell them what to do. FEMA's playing a game of FAFO because free men don't ask for permission. Again, please donate and help these people out. They need us now more than ever.” //
FEMA can try their bureaucratic "We're in charge" moves to try and divert resources and true help, but these mountain folks are not going to go quietly. Posts like this one, from law enforcement no less, help to bring even more noise.
After this first video went viral, Deputy DeStefano received lots of response and requests asking where they should send their donations. So, he did a follow-up video encouraging relief organizations and churches in the western part of the state to drop their contact information in the video comments.

That's funny - Harris, the democrat candidate imports the high name talent to her rallies to bring in people, and Jason Aldean imports the republican candidate to his show and crowd goes wild!!!
"So what has happened," Tuberville continued, "is Mayorkas and this whole group have lied to the American people for three-and-a- half, going on four years." Is there any doubt?
He kept saying our border's closed and this and that. Now, you know, we all been looking for, where are they getting this money from to take care of these people? Other than the fact we knew they’re using the CARES money, COVID money, Inflation Reduction Act money.
Now we know that the group that has been confiscated by this regime other than the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, everybody involved, now FEMA. They have been taking money from FEMA and paying these illegal immigrants and taking care of them. And it’s all coming out in the light.
"And people [are saying] 'Wait a minute,'" the senator said, "'This is for a natural disaster, not a manmade disaster like the border."
Tuberville then brought the hammer down:
But they’re corrupt. Every day, something comes up now that they’ve been exposed, that they’ve been doing, they shouldn’t be doing. And people should be going to jail. This is treason. And not taking care of these people up and down the East Coast because this.
We don’t have the money. We’re printing $80,000 a second right now, just to keep our country going. They have absolutely, Jeff, run us in the ditch.
National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) are jointly setting up a highly efficient 800 megawatts advance ultra supercritical (AUSC) thermal power plant. //
India’s current arsenal of thermal power plants operate at an average of 32 per cent efficiency. The AUSC technology can ramp this up to 46 per cent efficiency. In the past few decades, Indian coal fleet has gone through rapid changes in terms of technology, with the first supercritical plant launched in 2010 at Mundra Adani Plant. Following this, a total of 72 supercritical and 20 ultra supercritical units have come into operation. //
State-of-the-art ultra supercritical technology heats steam temperature at around 600 degrees Celsius and 300 Bar pressure with an optimal efficiency of 42 per cent. Increasing steam parameters is one of the best ways to achieve results in increasing efficiency.
The AUSC technology will increase the steam temperature to 710-720°C at 300 Bar pressure and achieve efficiency upwards of 46 per cent. This will decrease the coal usage and emission intensity per megawatt-hour of electricity produced.
To note that our modern society is energy-hungry is not only a massive understatement but an exercise in belaboring the obvious. Everything about our modern technological lifestyle requires energy and plenty of it, and cheap, reliable energy is one of the best (along with free markets) guarantors of a prosperous society. While "green energy" advocates still shout for the need for wind and solar power, the most reliable, efficient, and yes, cheapest energy in the United States is generated by fossil fuels - coal and natural gas - and by nuclear power. //
But given advancements in coal-burning technology, and also given that the United States is sitting on mountains of coal, there are good arguments for the continued use of coal. //
the U.S. led early with a leadoff home run. It invented, developed and perfected the first ultra-super critical (USC) coal-powered plant.
Coming online in 2012, the 600-megawatt (MW) John W. Turk Jr. Coal Plant in Arkansas employed new technology, most notably, an advance in metallurgy that allowed pipes and boilers to operate for extended periods at extremely elevated temperature and pressure.
This higher temperature allows efficiency of 40%, instead of the more usual 33%. Also, Turk had the best pollution controls, its emissions being mostly carbon dioxide and water vapor. Power Magazine was so impressed that it gave the plant its highest honor in 2013. //
Having improved on USC technology, Chinese plant efficiency is around 44%. The new 1,350 MW Pingshan Phase II plant achieves 49% efficiency! The best Chinese coal plant is now cleaner and 22 % more efficient than its American counterpart.
Since 2010, India has constructed more than 90 super critical and ultra-super critical coal plants.

The only reason I am not a fan of coal for electric power is that it takes 100 rail cars per day to feed a 1GW power plant. Half the rail traffic in the USA is coal. If we could cut half the rail traffic it would save a lot of lives lost at rail crossings. Its simple statistics: in a lot of areas in the Midwest, there's an at-grade crossing nearly every mile.
A similar size pressurized water nuclear power plant only needs 35 tons of uranium per YEAR, and requires mining about 200 tons of uranium ore to produce. And the used nuclear fuel is the only waste product that gets safer with time, unlike every other pollutant.
https://www.daretothink.org/how-big-is-that-thorium-ball/
If we would build the molten salt reactor that Jimmy "I pretend to be a nuclear engineer" Carter killed, or the breeder reactor that Bill "sold to the highest bidder" Clinton killed so thoroughly, Nuclear power would only need 1 ton of fuel per YEAR. Versus 100 rail cars per DAY for coal.
I would rather build coal than depend on "sunshine, summer breezes, fumaroles, and chicken manure" for reliable electricity (Petr Beckman), but nuclear is better.

This is what the government politicians say, right before they are about to impinge on your rights. The phrase about yelling fire in a crowded theater is often used by people trying to curb speech without really understanding the context in which it was used. It was in non-binding dicta in a case that was then later overturned so it was never a binding thought on anything. So when people use it, it reveals they’re not aware of the law. //

We've seen a lot of people pitching in to help out people affected by Hurricane Helene. That's a great thing because there are still so many people in a lot of need and some of the areas are going to have issues for a while, trying to get everything back on line.
Now, this is just a short list of non-government people and organizations that have stepped in. There are a ton of folks who have been helping out, including so many local folks on the ground--and we thank all of them for their efforts.
At the Sept. 29 rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, the president called out Brick Suit for his fearless demeanor after Trump was shot.
“There were so many people—tens of thousands of people—they didn’t flee,” Trump said.
“They stood. They watched and wanted to know what they could do to help,” he said. “The people in the front row—the Front Row Joes—(points to Brick Suit)—you were there, and it was amazing.”
Trump looked at Brick Suit again and pointed at him again.
“You stood. I watched you. You didn’t move, Mr. Wall,” the president said.
“I call him Mr. Wall,” he said. “Mr. Wall stood there. He didn’t move an inch, and the bullets are flying all over the place and it was an amazing thing to see, frankly, it was real bravery.”
Brick Suit said he was shocked Trump had such a hyper-awareness of what was going on around him.
Early voting in North Carolina starts in just days, and Appalachian voters in the western, deep-red stronghold of the state are still desperate for help with basic necessities after destruction wrought by Hurricane Helene. A slow-rolled disaster relief response from federal and state government agencies has many wondering if the Democrats in charge are trying to suppress the votes of the predominantly Trump-supporting region. //
The vast majority of the 28 counties and tribal areas included in the emergency declaration are Republican strongholds, and the voters there can make or break a win for former President Donald Trump in the tight swing state he only carried by about 75,000 votes in 2020.
According to an analysis by The Federalist, 604,119 voters in the emergency declaration region cast their ballots for Trump in 2020, while 356,902 chose President Joe Biden. That 247,217-vote difference is more than three times Trump’s margin of victory in 2020.
Trump voters in the affected region also made up 10.9 percent of the total 5,545,848 votes cast in 2020, and the average county voter participation rate is 77.3 percent.
Voter suppression in the disaster zone could be catastrophic for the Trump campaign, and the malaise shown by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Cooper, and the Democrat-run North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) raises significant questions about a life-threatening power play from Democrats and deliberate election interference in order to carry the state for Vice President Kamala Harris in November.

The FAA's effort to force civilian aircraft out of the area seems to be documented in this NOTAM dated October 1 that closes the critical part of the disaster area to all aircraft except those "UNDER THE DIRECTION OF North Carolina task force 8." [That is their spelling, not mine.]
Former President Donald Trump can expect to fight impeachment efforts again pending a second term this November.
Special Counsel Jack Smith’s 165-page report unsealed Wednesday is the Steele Dossier 2.0, an anonymously sourced manifesto compiled to warrant deep state investigations into former President Donald Trump with the ultimate aim of tossing him out of the White House. //
The report, filed and made public within 60 days of an election, serves no legitimate legal purpose, as the special counsel desperately attempts to thwart Trump’s return to the Oval Office.
“Smith was clearly eager to get this out before the public despite Justice Department policies that encourage prosecutors to avoid acts that would be viewed as trying to influence an election,” wrote George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley on X. //
“In some ways …” wrote former prosecutor and National Review Editor Andrew McCarthy, “Smith’s public submission is better than a trial.”
Trials are messy and unpredictable; prosecutors’ written descriptions of what they hope to prove are often compelling and damning. That is why, at a trial, the judge routinely instructs the jury that an indictment and proffers by a prosecutor are only allegations; they are not evidence, they are not subject to cross-examination, and they prove nothing. Here, by contrast, there will be no cautionary instructions. //
If Trump were to win, Smith is certain to continue the deep state lawfare campaign even after the election, likely challenging any effort for the president to pardon himself. In other words, Smith’s persistent prosecution laid out in the 165-page filing is the Democrats’ “insurance policy” against another Trump presidency.
UOCAVA voters can download the Federal Postcard Application (FPCA) from the internet and use it as a voter registration form and as a ballot request. The FPCA asks for a Social Security number and a state-issued driver’s license or identification number. This information is matched with state information to verify a voter is a real person.
But a directive from the Pennsylvania Department of State tells counties they cannot reject voter registrations from UOCAVA voters just because the numbers they provide on their application don’t match state database numbers. The state tells counties they “must” accept UOCAVA applications, even if the driver’s license or last four of the Social Security number cannot be matched. //
UOCAVA voting played a role in the 2020 election. The case cites a report from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission that says in 2020, the state received approximately 27,000 ballots through UOCAVA, with approximately 20,000 of those ballots coming from non-military applicants.
Already in 2024, more than 25,000 UOCAVA ballots have been transmitted to potentially unverified UOCAVA applicants, court papers say, citing the Department of State Absentee and Mail Ballot Report.
The congressmen asked the court to order the state to direct counties to verify UOCAVA voters’ identities before counting UOCAVA ballots. They also asked the court to order counties to segregate 2024 UOCAVA ballots until voters’ identity can be verified.
They’ve spent hundreds of millions of dollars on services for illegal immigrants as Americans struggle after Helene. //
While the emergency response agency is typically proactive, with pre-staged supplies ready for immediate rescue operations, that same support was clearly not available to the Appalachian towns where Hurricane Helene wrought havoc. Instead, the Biden-Harris administration restructured FEMA to provide services for illegal migrants with a new bureaucratic mandate to instill “equity as a foundation of emergency management.” Storm preparedness ranks as a third priority for the disaster relief task force under “lead[ing] whole of community in climate resilience.”
According to the government’s website, FEMA has spent more than $1 billion “to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)” under the “Shelter and Services Program” just within the last two years.
North Carolina’s constitution requires that voters be residents of the state. But a state statute currently in place violates this requirement, opening the door for individuals who have never resided in the state to vote, a newly filed lawsuit alleges.
The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), passed by Congress in 1986, allows absentee voting by members of the U.S. military and Merchant Marine, their family members, and U.S. citizens residing outside the United States.
The rule has been around for decades, but in recent years, UOCAVA voting has displayed some anomalies. //
It goes on to say that even if someone else lives at that address now, or the house was torn down, that’s fine because election offices only use voting residence address to determine if you are eligible to vote in that jurisdiction and which ballot to send. //
"Occasionally, current residents may receive election mail for a UOCAVA voter who no longer lives at that address. Election officials should explain to the current resident that a military or overseas voter is eligible to use their former physical residence for voter registration purposes, even if they typically receive mail overseas.”
In 2009, Congress passed the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act, sponsored by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. It requires all states to accept the Federal Post Card Application as both a voter registration form and an official request for an absentee ballot.
The postcard allows wannabe voters to request ballots by email. That means no postmark. That means you can request your UOCAVA ballot from anywhere. It is hypothetically possible to sit in Anytown, U.S.A., and request that a UOCAVA ballot be emailed to you, while claiming you are in another country. And in 31 states, certain voters can submit their ballots electronically to the state to be counted. //
According to federal documents, “unlike in 2018 and 2016, email was the most common mode of UOCAVA ballot receipt in 2020,” but many voters still mailed their ballots in. //
In 2020, UOCAVA voter participation increased dramatically compared to previous years. That is despite the fact that during the 2020 Covid pandemic, the United States advised Americans abroad — business people, study-abroad students, missionaries, and holiday travelers — to return home. //
Despite an unprecedented number of Americans returning to the states where they could vote on their home turf, the number of UOCAVA ballots counted in the 2020 election was an astronomical 913,734. //
that 36 percent jump in UOCAVA voters another unexplained anomaly of the 2020 election.
New before-and-after aerial photos paint a grim picture of Hurricane Helene’s devastation in parts of western North Carolina that have been hard to access after the storm swiped away the state’s roads and bridges. //
The storm threw down so much water over the southern Appalachians over a 3-day span that it was a widespread once-in-1,000 year rainfall event for the region, according the National Weather Service.
All of that water barreled down the mountains, liquifying the slopes in some places into devastating mudslides that wiped homes off their foundations. But eventually, it all ended up in rivers.
