Hurricane Helene had devastating effects on Western North Carolina. Many residents are still displaced. Some of them are even living in tents right now.
Why then has FEMA and the North Carolina National Guard ceased operations in areas most impacted by Helene?
Mercury One executive director JP Decker joins Jill Savage on “Blaze News Tonight” to share what the nonprofit is doing to fill the gap in the government’s absence.
The “Protect Economic Freedom Act” would mandate that universities submit yearly certifications to the Department of Education proving they are not involved in any “commercial boycotts dictated by those in the boycott-sanction-divest (BDS) movement,” according to a Committee on Education and the WorkForce news release. The bill would also require the U.S. Department of Education to “make publicly available a list of all institutions that fail to certify.” “Enough is enough. Appeasing the antisemitic mobs on college campuses threatens the safety of Jewish students and faculty, and it undermines the relationship between the U.S. and one of our strongest allies,” Foxx (pictured) stated in the news release...
Here's how Christian broadcaster and bestselling author Eric Metaxas put it one day after a would-be assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania, shot Donald Trump, hitting him in the ear while missing his skull by literally half an inch – and only because Trump suddenly turned his head 90 degrees at the exact right moment:
"I have said repeatedly for months that those who hate Trump would stop at nothing to make sure he doesn't get back in to the White House, including trying to assassinate him. I have also said God's hand is on him, and would protect him, if God forbid someone did try to do that. Last night we saw that happen. His survival was nothing less than a miracle. So be assured that God is not finished with this nation.
Cable news network MSNBC claims it was blindsided to learn that a non-profit founded by longtime on-air personality the Rev. Al Sharpton received half a million dollars from Kamala Harris' campaign just before he interviewed her. The donations that flowed in just before the New York activist's conversation with Harris have brought up questions about the news outlet's credibility. The National Action Network, a civil rights non-profit that was founded by Sharpton in 1991, received $500,000 from the Harris campaign just weeks before the MSNBC host conducted a highly-anticipated sit-down with the Democrat...
I want to single out Mr. Ramaswamy for additional praise as last year, during the heat of the presidential selection process for the Republican Party, he became the very first candidate in the history of this country to hold a town hall specifically for the people who make up the essential lifeblood of our economy: truckers.
On a cold winter night in Iowa, Mr. Ramaswamy came to the largest truck stop in America and heard our concerns.
Legal Insurrection readers will recall that in my post on the United Nations climate conference in Azerbaijan this week, its president boldly declared that oil and gas were a ‘gift from God’...
The climate cultists will likely be working themselves up into even more hysteria because of another climate conference that occurred mid-November in the Czech Republic city of Prague.
The Czech division of the International Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel) organized a two-day climate conference in Prague on November 12-13, 2024, where climate scientists declared that the “climate emergency” is over...
An Illinois man is giving a whole lot of thanks to a stranger-turned-hero this holiday. A US postal worker rushed to the aid of an elderly man who fell and hit his head while on a walk – now the pair of former strangers will celebrate Thanksgiving together as a family. Jaylen Lockhart was working his regular postal route in Aurora, Illinois, on Saturday when he spotted Guy Miller, 75, take a nasty fall and bash his head on the ground while out walking his dog, Bentley, according to local reports...
“No matter where you are, no matter what you’re doing, you always have time to stop and help,” Lockhart, who has worked for USPS for about a year, told The Washington Post.
The young girl said she and her friends have been subjected to males 'in booty shorts' and do not feel safe in their own bathrooms.
Astudent at a California high school said female athletes were stabbed in the back by their administrators when they expressed concerns over boys being in their change room.
During a board meeting for the Riverside Unified School District in California, an unnamed 16-year-old girl spoke out about a male athlete competing on the girls cross-country team.
"I run on the cross country team. So I'm constantly affected by these actions that have taken place this season," the young girl began. "I have been around the females and just my team in general who have felt almost silenced to speak out about it because the whole LGBTQ is shoved down our throats; it is put in our face."
The root of it is that the Pilgrims must have been giving thanks to the Indians for saving them.
That’s not what the Pilgrims were thankful for, as you will soon hear.
“The story of the Pilgrims begins in the early part of the seventeenth century (that’s the 1600s for those of you in Rio Linda, California).
The Church of England under King James I was persecuting anyone and everyone who did not recognize its absolute civil and spiritual authority.”
The first Pilgrims were Christian rebels, folks.
“Those who challenged [King James’] ecclesiastical authority and those who believed strongly in freedom of worship were hunted down, imprisoned, and sometimes executed for their beliefs” in England in the 1600s...

Among the OIG's findings, a lack of public trust in the DOJ remains a "longstanding" problem, Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz announced Monday, and strengthening such trust poses "a significant challenge."...
President-elect Donald Trump has officially selected all 15 Cabinet nominees less than three weeks since he won the election.
Trump has selected several MAGA-aligned nominees to serve as his closest advisers in the upcoming administration. Although they have the president-elect's support, these nominees will still need to secure the Senate's approval.
With the incoming 53-seat Republican Senate majority, Trump's nominees can afford to lose only three votes during the confirmation process, assuming Vice President-elect JD Vance also participates in the vote. Some candidates are expected to breeze through the confirmation process, while others may be facing an uphill battle.
Here is what you need to know about all of Trump's Cabinet nominations.
I wrote a post recently that proposed conspiracy theories were caused by lack of information - well, that is for people who try to pay attention to events, both current and historical.
Then I read a link from X about school officials and police in Houston, Texas, reporting and detaining a middle schooler for passing counterfeit currency and warning his grandmother, who gave him the money, for using counterfeit bills. The counterfeit money in question? A perfectly legal $2 bill. Produced until 1966, paused, and then re-issued beginning in 1976, it is rare these days, but is legal.
Shortly thereafter, I ran across the "controversy" about how Pete Hegseth, Trump's putative SecDef nominee, is a known white supremacist. How do they know? Well, he has tattoos of a swastika on his chest and a well-known white supremacist phrase on his arm. The problem is the "swastika" is a Jerusalem cross and the phrase "Deus vult" (God wills it) are common Christian symbols originating at least a thousand years ago.
Then there are the "man on the street" interviews that show people don't know who the sides were in the Revolutionary War, WWI, or WWII or even the Civil War. Some people who were interviewed about the recent election didn't even know who was running...
A century ago, a high school diploma signified an important educational achievement. Fifty years ago, the mark of achievement was a college degree.
Today, a college degree is a mark of nothing other than a person who made it through some ill-defined four-year curricula at a specific location and was released, seemingly unharmed...
