Here in WNC as you are probably aware, corporate dems backed by lawyers and developers keep getting appointed to city council and doing things that aren't exactly what the people of Asheville want. Yet, because people aren't doing that primary voting, investigating, it continues.

In Asheville’s Elections, a View into How North Carolina Is Constraining Local Officials In liberal Buncombe County, elected officials have watched the state shrink their powers over detention and immigration. Now that looms large over the March race for district attorney.

Today, three candidates are competing in the Democratic primary for DA in the Asheville region. All oppose a state law that has ballooned jail populations, but are proposing different policies for how to deal with it, Piper French reports.

Thom Tillis is behaving like a decent human being. WTAF? Where was this version of him a decade ago when I lived in West Asheville?

Just consider the lengths he has gone to keep those files secret. It's worse than anyone could ever imagine. He's a psychopath.

Who wants to believe anyone is capable of something like that? We're talking about a very evil individual here, who suffered significant abuse as a child that contributed to how he turned out.

Trump had kids tortured and killed. That's his kink. It gets FAR worse.

The GOP would never consider helping America as a whole. They concentrate their efforts on the top 1% specifically.

Everything released so far has been severely redacted to protect Trump and select others

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

25 years ago I would brag to others about how great our city is. One Sunday morning while on vacation in Maine, there was an article in the NYT about Asheville and I was so thrilled to see word was getting out. Now I regret that.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

That military industrial complex isn't going to feed itself. Not to mention, Israel has Trump by the short and curlies

My secret for many years were chicken thighs. They were so cheap (maybe a buck a pound)! I think the cooking shows picked up on them and now they're not much cheaper than breasts. Now wait until they're on sale and buy in bulk, typically $2.98 a pound
