Major props to Katie Button for putting a positive light on Asheville on a national stage!

Remember this lie? Trump said he’d totally eliminate the national debt. Instead, he’s add over $10 trillion to the national debt in just over 5 years in office. Promises made, promises broken.

@yankinasia I agree

@ColMoeDavis Moe, he had me all the way! In fact I've never before supported a candidate for the Senate as strongly as I did Fetterman. Don't know his game plan now, but he surely is going to get discharged from the Democratic Party if he stays his current course!

I apologize to the 41,564 donors to my 2020 congressional campaign. After the campaign ended, then Lt Gov Fetterman's senatorial campaign staff contacted me and asked if I would share my donor list with Fetterman, and I agreed to do so. I sincerely regret whatever part I had in helping to elect @JohnFetterman in 2022. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

Pam Bondi said we shouldn’t be talking about the Trump-Epstein files because the Dow was over 50,000. Well, it’s fallen to 45,806, so perhaps now is a good time to talk about the Trump-Epstein pedo files.

Since the President’s inauguration last year, national debt has climbed by around $2.8 trillion. time.com/article/2026/0…

biden total spend on ukraine: $180 billion the pentagon just asked for $200 billion for war in iran.

If Congress is able to find $200 Billion in supplemental defense funds, they should attach the Major Richard Star Act to restore retirement to combat disabled retirees. Stop the wounded veteran tax!

From the article: On Monday, John Verdejo, who represents North Carolina on the Democratic National Committee, submitted a petition to the NCDP calling for Knott’s removal as WCDP chair. The INDY obtained a copy of the petition, which argues Knott abused his visibility and authority as chair to unfairly elevate one primary candidate over another. Knott acted “in a manner inconsistent with neutrality, fairness, and the Party’s best interest,” the petition alleges. . . . . . “When the county chair publicly intervenes in a contested primary … the injury is not merely a matter of political disagreement,” Verdejo’s petition reads. “It diminishes confidence in party governance, weakens trust in internal fairness, and signals that formal party authority may be used selectively rather than impartially.” __________________ Sound familiar? It’s a shame some chose to remove democracy from Democrat. indyweek.com/news/wake-demo…

National debt passes the $39 trillion mark. That’s $113,615 of debt for every man, woman, and child in America in case you want to send in a check to pay your share. And we keep electing people who have no clue how to stop the debt avalanche nor any desire to do so. The status quo has got to go! fortune.com/2026/03/18/how…

As Reagan said, “there you go again!” Neutered knows that Democrats have tried to fund TSA and FEMA, but Republicans refuse unless they also agree to allow the modern day Gestapo ICE and CBP to continue terrorizing American cities. thehill.com/homenews/house…

From today’s New York Times: Across both of his terms, Mr. Trump has granted clemency to more than 70 allies, donors and others convicted in fraud cases. In his second term, Mr. Trump’s pace of pardoning those convicted of fraud has increased. In the first year of his second term, he handed out nearly three dozen pardons and commutations for people accused of fraud. Mr. Trump is unabashed about using the government to reward friends and supporters and punish foes. Still, his handling of fraud cases stands out. Not only are there striking similarities between some of the crimes that were prosecuted and those that were pardoned, but the president also has excused some of those who have stolen the most. . . . . . Last March, Mr. Trump pardoned Trevor Milton, the founder of electric vehicle start-up Nikola, who had been sentenced to four years in prison on allegations he had defrauded his investors. Before Mr. Trump granted the pardon, his campaign received donations from Mr. Milton and his wife totaling more than $1.8 million. . . . . . Mr. Herrera and the others pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, but Mr. Trump pardoned them before sentencing. The clemency grants came after Mr. Herrera’s daughter, Isabela Herrera, donated $2.5 million in 2024 — and then another $1 million in 2025 — to MAGA Inc., a super PAC devoted to Mr. Trump and run by his allies. . . . . . Mr. Weinstein has not been as fortunate as Adriana Camberos. In 2021, Mr. Trump commuted the sentence she was serving for a fraud scheme involving fake energy drinks. A lawyer who had worked in the Trump White House assisted her with her case. Three years later, Ms. Camberos was convicted with her brother of defrauding food wholesalers. In January, Mr. Trump pardoned them both, with no explanation. _________________ Imagine that — a rich felon convicted of fraud excusing rich felons convicted of fraud … if the price is right. They say actions speak louder than words, and Trump’s actions on behalf of large-scale fraudsters speak as clearly as his actions on large-scale drug traffickers (see Trump pardoned drug traffickers including former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández and Silk Road online drug market founder Ross Ulbricht). Particularly galling is pardoning a fraudster who then goes out and frauds again and then scores a second fraud pardon. How do you square fraud x2/pardon x2 with the claim that you’re serious about cracking down on fraud? The old saying was “justice is blind.” The current saying is “you get as much justice as you can afford to buy.” If we’re serious about rooting out fraud, I know exactly where we should start.

Trump on Monday: “It looks small, but in person it’s very big. It’s the only plane capable of carrying a 200,000-pound bomb.” A B-2 has a maximum ordinance payload of 40,000 pounds. The heaviest bomb in America’s arsenal is the “Bunker Buster,” which weighs 30,000 pounds and is 20.5 feet long and 31.5 inches in diameter. So, to recap: America doesn’t have a 200,000 pound bomb and if it did the B-2 couldn’t carry it.

Crude oil, natural gas, gasoline, and heating oil all up again today.

American citizens deserve an honest and ethical government!

BREAKING: longtime WNC house Rep. Mike Clampitt (R-Swain) has passed away after a long illness. Mike was a tireless advocate for his constituents and a hell of a nice guy. More to come from us on this heartbreaking news very soon.

I’m convinced more each day that Ken Paxton is an asshole.
