In a show of support for those affected by Hurricane Helene, President Donald Trump visited the battered city of Asheville, North Carolina, on Friday, receiving a warm welcome from residents grateful for the attention to their ongoing recovery efforts.

The hurricane, which struck in September during the presidential campaign, left a trail of destruction, with many locals still grappling with the aftermath. Trump's visit to Asheville was his first since taking office for his second term, focusing initially on the disaster recovery in the region before heading to assess wildfire damage in Los Angeles.

During his visit, the sentiment among the residents was overwhelmingly positive. Locals gathered to see Trump, with many voicing appreciation for the federal spotlight on their community's needs.

Matt Van Swol took to X posting a video saying ”This is why we're excited for Trump to come today," he continued "Trash is everywhere. This is why we've been screaming for months. We need help."

Trump, speaking at a briefing in Fletcher, just south of Asheville, emphasized the importance of local and state involvement in disaster response, critiquing the federal government's role in past disaster recoveries. "FEMA just hasn't done the job, I'm stopping in North Carolina first because they've been abused by what's happened, We're going to fix it as fast as you can."

Arrogant Acosta gets DEMOTED “to the Siberia of television" as CNN CLEANS HOUSE!

Jim Acosta, once a prominent anchor at CNN, has been moved from his mid-morning slot to the network's midnight to 2 a.m. Eastern Time shift. The move has sparked significant “glee” internally, with many CNN insiders describing Acosta's behavior as "insufferable" and "egomaniacal."

The decision to reassign Acosta was part of a broader shakeup at CNN, where 200 layoffs were announced, and programming adjustments were made to realign the network's schedule. CNN's new programming strategy was confirmed by network boss Mark Thompson, aligning with President Trump's second term inauguration, leading some to speculate that CNN might be attempting to curry favor with the new administration by sidelining one of its most vocal critics from a prime-time slot.

Insiders at CNN have not shied away from critiquing Acosta's approach to journalism. "Jim is one of the least-liked and most eye-rolled of all the talent at CNN. And this has been a longstanding status," one network source confided. They noted that Acosta has a tendency to make himself the story, which has not sat well with many of his colleagues. "He's insufferable, an egomaniac. If he can make himself part of the story, he will," the insider added, highlighting Acosta's penchant for inserting himself into the narrative rather than focusing solely on reporting the facts.

Another colleague pointed out Acosta's jealousy, stating, "His jealousy is even visibly thicker than his makeup and hardened hair gel." This comment reflects the dissatisfaction among CNN staff over Acosta's style of coverage, which has been described as grandstanding rather than objective reporting.

The reassignment has understandably rubbed Acosta the wrong way. He is reportedly considering leaving the network rather than accepting what some have called a "demotion to the Siberia of television."

Homan has FIVE WORD RESPONSE to detained Hatian gangster going viral!

Border Czar Tom Homan had a sharp retort for a Haitian gangster who went viral after cursing President Donald Trump and defiantly declaring he "not going back to Haiti," during his arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

In a video that circulated widely on social media, the Haitian migrant, amid profane remarks toward Trump and praise for former President Joe Biden, was heard proclaiming his refusal to be deported. The man, whose identity was not disclosed, has a significant criminal record, with at least 17 recent convictions, according to reports.

Homan, appearing on Fox News' "The Will Cain Show," responded directly to the clip. "He’s going back to Haiti, I can tell you that," Homan said with a smile, emphasizing the inevitability of the deportation despite the gangster's protests. The arrests, which included the Haitian migrant, were part of broader ICE operations in Boston, targeting individuals with criminal backgrounds, including multiple members of the MS-13 gang, as well as suspects in murder and rape cases.

The lightning raids in major cities underlines the Trump administration's aggressive stance on immigration enforcement, particularly targeting those with criminal records.

The gangster's arrest (and Homan's response) underscore the administration's commitment to deporting immigrants with criminal convictions, reinforcing the message that the law will be upheld regardless of resistance or public outcry.
