In the area of Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina, things are really bad in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene winds and rain. The massive flooding in the entire SE region has created multiple crisis points in NC, TN, GA, SC, AL and Virginia.

In Western North Carolina, eastbound Interstate 40 is gone. I-40 washed away by massive amounts of water through Pigeon River, near the Tennessee state line. {STORY HERE}  Initially, state officials denied the collapse because it was impossible for anyone from the state to get to the area to confirm it.  They later said, “oh, shit- it’s real”… and now admit it will take a long time for repairs.

In northern East Tennessee the Interstate 26 bridge has collapsed near Erwin. I-26 is closed eastbound at mile marker 37 and closed westbound at mile marker 43.  {STORY HERE} Again, this is another closure that is likely to take a long time for repairs.

The region where Tennesse and North Carolina come together at the base of the Appalachian Mountain range has been severely damaged.  Transit into the area will be impeded for a substantial amount of time.  Rivers and streams throughout the area are far beyond their capacity and only now starting to recede.

I know we have a lot of Treepers in this area.  Check in if you are in any of the affected areas and let us know your condition.  There is going to be a significant amount of time delay in getting resources moved into the area to assist, and the national MSM do not seem to be recognizing the issues.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

President Donald J. Trump is holding a Town Hall today at 6:00 PM EDT in Warren, Michigan.  The issues and potential lost jobs within the auto industry, a result of the Biden/Harris policy, are exceptionally pertinent to the outcomes of the state.

President Trump has focused on rank-and-file labor union support with his MAGAnomic “America First” policies.  The blue-collar and white-collar workers within the states of Michigan and Wisconsin are solidly behind President Trump; however, union leadership is subject to manipulation and payoffs by the leftist control officers.

The start time for the Warren, Michigan, townhall event is 6:00pm with livestream links below:

In an almost identical replay to the 2016 election, Attorney General Merrick Garland held a press conference today to note the indictment of three Iranian suspects for hacking the Trump campaign and attempting to influence the 2024 election outcome.  [37-page-indictment pdf Here]

In 2016 the identified influence agents were from the nation of Russia. In 2024 the identified influence agents, Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri and Yasar Balaghi, are from the nation of Iran. All other aspects seemingly remain identical.

According to CBS, “The three defendants — identified in the indictment as Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri and Yasar Balaghi — are all members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Prosecutors said they executed a “wide-ranging hacking campaign that used spearphishing and social engineering techniques to target and compromise the accounts of current and former U.S. government officials, members of the media, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals associated with U.S. political campaigns.” (more)

This is an interesting and curiously unmentioned diplomatic contrast.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had a two-hour dinner with President Donald Trump after the U.K leader delivered a speech to the United Nations in New York.  However, intentionally unnoticed by U.S. media, the Prime Minister immediately left the U.S. following the lengthy meeting with President Trump, and never met with Kamala Harris.

The extensive discussion and dinner took place in New York, apparently at Trump Tower.  There is an aspect of typical British worry woven throughout British media reporting on the meeting because U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy, also attended the meeting.  Lammy once called President Trump a “woman-hating, neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath.”

Undoubtably, when the priority of the dinner is overlaid with the U.K position on Ukraine; keep in mind a meeting with Zelenskyy followed the next morning; PM Starmer appears a little worried.  There is a massive amount of geopolitical embarrassment possible right around the corner when, not if, President Trump wins – and the position of the British govt toward Ukraine leaves them dancing alone when the music stops.

CONTEXT: Chairman Xi is big geopolitically, driven mostly by his economic position.  President Putin has become bigger geopolitically as a result of his smart post-sanction moves, in combination with his increasing economic position.  Heck, even Mohammed Bin Salmon (Saudi Arabia) and Narendra Modi (India) are now big in a world of stupidly applied Bidenomics. However, when you consider the dynamic of actually using economic leverage as THE truest aspect of geopolitical power, President Trump is GODZILLA.

Starmer and the rest, eh, lol. 😂  Prime Minister Keir Starmer meeting with President Trump is what might be called, ‘risk mitigation‘.  And people were wondering why Ric Grenell was present beside Donald Trump for the past few days.  lolol…  {{¹Hint}}

Earlier this morning in New York, President Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

During part of their brief remarks (video below) President Trump noted in his estimation there could be a quick resolution to the conflict with Russia, saying, “I have a good relationship with President Putin,” to which Zelenskyy interrupted, “I hope we have more good relation.”  In the artful and honest way of a man positioning for peace, President Trump noted, “it takes two to tango.”

.

The professional democrats and the professional republicans, essentially the UniParty in Washington DC, do not want the conflict to end.  The money laundering process created by the Ukraine conflict with Russia provides affluence for a host of domestic and foreign political interests.

Zelenskyy was created as a figurehead for Ukraine by western interests, the U.S. State Department and foreign policy establishment.  A change in administration stops the dynamic DC supports.

The only group who can end the conflict is the group who doesn’t benefit from it, that’s the American people.  The only person who can end the conflict is the voice representing the group that wants it to end, that’s President Trump.

Flooding and high water continue being a serious problem as former Hurricane Helene dumps massive amounts of rain.

Fast moving Helene made landfall about 10 miles west-southwest of Perry, Florida, at 11:10 pm last evening. Helene came ashore as a Cat-4 storm with over 120 mph sustained winds.  Seven fatalities have been reported. Following the storm surge, impacts are now being felt across the Southeast and into portions of the mid-Atlantic as the storm pushes farther inland and weakens.

The greatest ongoing threat from Helene’s activity continues to be flash flooding as torrential rain falls throughout the southeast, impacting rivers and pushing streams onto roads and into communities, sometimes trapping residents.

According to Fox News Weather, “The flash flood threat stretches from the Southeast into the mid-Atlantic, where multiple Flash Flood Emergencies were issued early Friday morning, including the first-ever Flash Flood Emergency issued for Atlanta.

At least seven other Flash Flood Emergencies were also issued in western North Carolina from Asheville to the Charlotte area.

According to a post on X from Haywood County Emergency Services, residents in portions of Waynesville, North Carolina, are being told to evacuate because of the potentially deadly situation that’s unfolding. (more)

Treepers in the affected areas, please use this thread to update your personal condition.  Also, all long time Treepers understand you can reach out via email if you need assistance, and we will do our earnest best to assist and/or connect you with resources.

1,500 search and rescue responders are active right now just in Florida.  If you are in an impact zone, do not go looking around, be careful.  There is a great video below, a press conference from moments ago, that contains excellent information for those in the impact zone.  Please watch it.
