Now that Hurricane Milton is a Cat 5 storm aimed right at Tampa, maybe DeSantis can get on the horn with Mikey and change his mind about that supplemental FEMA funding bill, instead of using state tax dollars on electioneering against the abortion rights referendum. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

"Do you want to force Catholic hospitals to perform abortions against their will?" No, of course not, JD. Don’t be so short-sighted. I want the Catholic Church out of the healthcare business completely. Looking at you too, Baptists.

“Civility” is wearing eyeliner with jackboots and calling it fashion. The ugliest and most evil parts of history are repeating themselves through simple rebranding, and we’re falling for it because we’re mistaking polite terrorism for decorum.

But nobody cussed, called each other names, or foamed at the mouth like Cujo while the cameras were on! Fascists in suits are by far the most dangerous type, but as long as they keep their elbows off the table and know which fork to use, we keep on inviting them to dinner.

Hey, Jay. I was born and raised in Black Mountain, went to high school at Owen, college at UNCA. Based on what I’m able to piece together from afar (I live in WI now) “downtown” Swannanoa, especially along Old 70, is just gone. As for Black Mountain, my parents are both among the missing.
