    FEMA in Western North Carolina - Thursday, April 9th, 2026
    Apr 9 2026

    Sen. Ted Budd hosted DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin (in his first official trip) for a roundtable in Chimney Rock on April 7, focusing on Hurricane Helene recovery 18 months later.

    Mullin emphasized clearing FEMA backlogs, cutting bureaucracy, and shifting more authority to state/local responders for faster aid. Budd noted $134M recently released and praised Mullin's proactive support. Local leaders discussed ongoing delays in approvals, regs, and funding, plus lessons on communication and resilience for future disasters. Overall, it highlights momentum but calls for structural FEMA reforms to ease burdens on WNC communities.

  • Two Week Ceasefire - Wednesday, April 8th, 2026

    Two Week Ceasefire - Wednesday, April 8th, 2026
    Apr 8 2026

    President Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran late Tuesday, just before his 8 p.m. deadline. It's conditional on Iran immediately reopening the Strait of Hormuz for safe maritime traffic.

    Trump cited a "workable" 10-point proposal from Iran as a basis for talks, noting the U.S. has met its military objectives. Pakistan helped broker it. Negotiations begin soon in Islamabad to aim for a longer-term peace deal in the Middle East. The pause avoids further strikes while both sides finalize terms.

  • Last Chance for Iran - Tuesday, April 7th, 2026

    Last Chance for Iran - Tuesday, April 7th, 2026
    Apr 7 2026

    President Trump has set a firm 8PM deadline tonight for Iran to agree to a deal reopening the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping. He warns of immediate, overwhelming U.S. strikes on power plants, bridges, and other key infrastructure if unmet—potentially "taking out" the country in one night. Iran has rejected the terms and a related ceasefire proposal, vowing defiance while calling for volunteers to defend sites. Tensions are at a boiling point with no deal in sight.
