Read about the โ€œfragile masculinity hypothesisโ€ which explains why Donald Trump appeals more to men who are INSECURE about their manhood. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ washingtonpost.com/news/monkโ€ฆ

Hey WNC, hereโ€™s your chance to ask your Congressional representative @ChuckEdwards4NC why he wants to take away Medicare and Medicaid from his rural constituents. (Although if you have a day job it will be tough to attend).

Remember when Democrats got all bent out of shape that time Zelensky showed up at the White House for a meeting with Biden without a suit and tie? No. Because they understood symbolism and the statement he was making. #SlavaUkraini

Where is our HHS secretary? Shouldnโ€™t he be out there promoting the safe and effective measles vaccine to prevent unnecessary childhood deaths in light of the horrific but preventable outbreak and death in west Texas?

Refuse vaccines if you don't want them, fine. But don't pretend there's a scientific reasoning behind it

๐Ÿšจ Promises kept! Thatโ€™s what youโ€™re supposed to say, right? Terminated โ€œbased on performanceโ€โ€ฆ Thatโ€™s how some folks who gave everything during Helene are being treated. Thatโ€™s disgusting, and it absolutely fills me with rage.

Americans are about to learn how much of our food and goods are imported from Mexico and Canada and why trade agreements are beneficial. As a bonus, they will also learn what a tariff means and how they arenโ€™t collected by some magical federal agency that lowers your taxes.

Rage Farmer Matt Van Swol thinks itโ€™s AMAZING that the FCC chair is visiting WNC. *checks notes* The FCC chair visited 3 months ago but I guess it doesnโ€™t count since the chair was a womanโ€ฆ #wnc #mattvanswol #ncpol #fcc

Serious question: Could federal employees sue the government for creating a toxic work environment?

Just a reminder that having less federal employees doesnโ€™t necessarily make the government โ€œmore efficient.โ€

This federal employee โ€œvoluntary resignationโ€ thing is a SCAM. They KNOW this is illegal and wonโ€™t stand. That means they donโ€™t expect to have to honor the โ€œterms.โ€ And now because you resigned voluntarily, you have no recourse. They just culled the herd & will claim a win.

Honest question. Why would Trump care if what he is doing is legal or not since the Supreme Court granted him immunity?

Anyone notice Leavittโ€™s tell? She flicks her hair when sheโ€™s lying or making up stuff.

Asked how organizations that rely on federal funding should make payroll, Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says they should call Russ Vought and make a case

I am just out here wondering why there was ZERO mention of taking Panama, Canada, and Greenland BEFORE the election. And the โ€œAmerica Firstโ€ crowd suddenly wants to be imperialists? We are such a dumb country now and journalism is dead.

More than 100,000 homes in WNC were severely a a damaged or destroyed after Helene, but thank goodness those wealthy families sending their kids to expensive private schools are going to get a tuition break.
