      BLACK ROCK WHO HAS HIGH INTEREST AND A CONTACT TO HAVE SOME
      COMPANY READY WHO IN 2025 WILL START DRILLING FOR THE LITHIUM IN
      NORTH CAROLINA AND AT THE SAME TIME EX-WORKERS OF BLACK ROCK
      WHO ARE PRESENTLY WORKING IN THE WHITE HOUSE AS FINANCIAL ADVISORS
      PLUS FEMA IS UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE 89% of the SENATORS and
      CONGRESS in the White House WHO hold DUAL CITIZENSHIP WITH ISRAEL AND
      ARE LOYAL FIRST AND FOREMOST TO ISRAEL THAN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
      THE CONNECTION HERE ALSO IS THAT THE CEO OF BLACK ROCK LARRY FINK
      IS OF ISRAELI DESCENT THEY WILL HELP HIM FIRST AND FOREMOST CAUSE
      THEY WILL EMPOWER FIRST THEIR OWN OVER ANY OTHER AMERICAN OF ANY
      OTHER RACE. THEREFORE FEMA IS WORKING AGAINST THE NORTH CAROLINA
      PEOPLE AND MORE MORE IN THE INTEREST OF WHAT BLACK ROCK NEEDS
      TO GET THE NORTH CAROLINA LAND OWNERS OUT ASAP IN ANYWAY OR
      FASHION SO THAT BLACK ROCK CAN GET TO GET THEIR EXPLOITATION OF THE

      Probably most Americans, any one who at least looks to see what is going on is feeling this way.
      The thing is, probably most of the establishment, all the bureaucrats, and the most corrupt of the senators and congress people see no path of getting paid off by spending the same money on our own people.
      Giving money to the various "war" efforts, feeds the industrial military complex, and thus some percentage back into their own pockets.
      Can't wait soon enough for Trump to take over. There is a good chance he's going to fire a lot of people, get rid of the bearcats, etc.
      I'd like to see the worst of them be held accountable for bribes, fraud, treason, etc.

      Illegals get flown around the country and given motel rooms, phones, lots of money for food, etc. I saw the video of the sheriff who arrested the woman so they could take her kids. Sickening! His identity should be revealed and locals should take care of him.

      Can you imagine after all of this having your kids taken, and imagine the fear and loneliness the kids are experiencing. It's unfathomable and horrifying. Give them a hotel, food, cars, money to start a business like you give to the illegals every single day. $400-$500 a DAY for hotels alone for the illegals. Insanity has taken hold.

    • @erikasmith4427
      @erikasmith4427 หลายเดือนก่อน +25

      He seemed very uncomfortable. I agree with you. I think he feels terrible that he has to ask strangers for help to take care of his family. But this things happen,he has nothing to be ashamed of. He's not a failure, this tragedy happened to no fault of his own. And it's okay to ask for some help when you and your family truly need it, like in this case. I'm pretty sure they'll be back on their feet soon enough. Seems like they're hard working folks, but just for a little longer they'll have to allow their neighbors to help them in their time of need. Maybe sometime in the future they'll be in the position to return the favor,and help someone else.

    My heart goes out to this family but the Dad especially breaks my heart. He wasn't making eye contact with anyone and is clearly struggling with his emotions. It is very evident that he takes good care of his family and always has. Sir, there is no shame in your game. You need a hand up to get back up on your feet. This terrible event happened to you and your family. None of it is due to your actions and it is clear that you love your family and are doing everything you can for them. Consider the assistance that you receive as a stepping stone to the future where you get your lives stabilized again and then maybe pay it forward to someone else someday. There are so many people praying for your and your family. You WILL get through this.

      Homeschooling has never been the back bone of the USA! The back bone was the RR, built by Native, African and Chinese slaves.
      Their life style is a personal choice, hence the issues, workout isolating our selves from the reality that simply IS!
      Homeschooling is nice, but so is financial stability, steady work, insurance, retirement plan, etc……

Dad must be careful not to get prideful. Be humble. That is a precious gift that many do not know. What they are going through is tough, but with God, they will and are getting through. If they continue to trust in God, they will see how truly loving He is and how blessed they are. I hear the children laughing and playing. They are healthy. There is so much to be thankful for and to give God praise. He is working. I will give. Blessings.❤

      Let's help as much as we can.
      Number of good people can make changes.
      Go Fund me goal is 50k.
      Simple math
      1000 godly people will donate 50 = 50k.
      Let's trust God and good people.
      Let's put to work phrase

      $ 50 for rich people it's like a little drop

      Me too. Our mortgage goes up in December and I lost a grant that paid for my Medicare. But this family made me both sad and mad.

    John, you are doing a great work for this family and others. If I had an endless amount of funds I would rebuild all of Western North Carolina, nothing spared. My heart breaks for them, they are a proud people and this country needs to step up and help all in need. I can give my prayers every day for God to anoint them in the Holy Ghost and the love of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. There is land for sale in Poke Co. NC going for around 15k per acre with road frontage, if no one gives acreage maybe their go fund me can help them find a piece of land led by the hand of God. They can then start to rebuild their lives. I pray for them and all people who are suffering. I want to thank you John for opening the door for all to see the needs of the people. May God bless and keep you always in his name,

    After the “Camp Fire” in California, many people lost everything, and could not get help. They lived in a tent. Many people lived like that! But when I was a child, my dad worked cutting trees. Where they cut there were no houses. We lived in a 12 x 12 tent for 9 months. Was wonderful for me (5) and my brother (3)! It’s could be much worse, but we’re all the damage and how much work has already been done! Stay strong, it does get easier with time. Proud to see all the people helping!

But through the grace of god we had family, friends, and people we did not know or had ever met help us to get back on our feet again. Its a VERY HORRIBLE feeling!
