The ‘unreal’ part, is to watch North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper read from a teleprompter –ON DAY THREE– about the devastation in Western North Carolina that is only just now starting to surface in mainstream media reporting. I’m trying not to be political within this crisis, but seriously here folks, this is incompetency on steroids. A Friggin’ Teleprompter?
Governor Cooper outlines ‘what he knows’ about a situation that has been increasingly getting out of control over the past 48 hours. Ordinary patriots have done more to save lives than any representative of Cooper’s state government. Watch closely, listen as Cooper positions himself amid proactive excuses and justifications for the unfolding catastrophe.
Governor Cooper is trying to avoid the political damage now for himself and for Joe Biden; it’s obvious. Remember, this is DAY #3 WATCH:
.
On the upside, now the political continuum has swung, and the risk variable has shifted. As a consequence, aid will start pouring into Western North Carolina as the politicos attempt to create the optics of magnanimous competency.
They are suddenly super worried about Asheville. Can’t have the leftists in the deep blue, getting full awake to the incompetence of leftism. However, help will also start to flow further west too. That’s cool. At least, people are finally going to get help.
I was on I40 West today as far as I77. i40 WAS ROADBLOCKED TO A CHOKE POINT AND NON-EMERGENCY TRAFFIC WAS BEING TURNED BACK. Information from Lt Governor Mark Robinson who was inside the disaster zone noted that supply runs were being escorted by LEO units to drop off points. As i was returning later, Eastbound traffic on I40 was very sparse until you got to the next big towns with natural traffic flows.
Close to 100 miles each way on I40 today; npt a single military vehicle seen. However, a private company convoy {labeled trucks and trailers} of commercial sized generators passed headed West; probably 10K volt size, about 12 units mounted on trailers and 2 ton trucks. These units, in my experience, are self contained and relatively mobile. I also know that FEMA has similiar equipment in inventory SOMEWHERE, just not where needed.
