It is not conservative to advocate dismantling the USA, shredding the Constitution, and re-erecting a Confederate States of America. 2024-10-10T16:15:04Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszadgv8khaaj0w7ez3fvg4epj6erme0988p09ejhmnwz792vf34gqzyz7efnwf6lnzu6dgsy78ac6syced406xtlp5e4787p57tlt8k4sh2m7a6tl TO DONATE VIA NC GOVERNMENT SITE<br/>The NC Department of Public Safety press release boosted by Chip Kroh and A16LYR Ben contains a link for those who may want to donate to help victims of the western North Carolina flooding.
