Did you know the boiling temperature of coal tar is between 205 and 450 degrees Celsius. In other words, if the tar is hot enough you don’t need to worry about the feathers when it comes to punishing tyrant bureaucrats. Here’s AI’s description of tar and feathering:
Tarring and feathering was a public punishment that involved covering a victim in hot tar and feathers, and then parading them through town. It was a form of vigilante justice used in colonial America in the 1760s and 1770s, and was often used by early American patriots to protest British taxation. The punishment was not intended to be deadly, but it could cause severe burns and blistering.
State and County bureaucrats in North Carolina certainly could use some tar and feathering after what they are doing to people who have lost their homes in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. From PJ Media.
After Hurricane Helene which left untold thousands of western North Carolina (WNC) residents homeless, volunteer Amish carpenters showed up to build temporary shelters, but the heartwarming story has a bitter ending.
There are a couple of stories here that the mainstream media hasn’t reported on much. The first is that FEMA, for whatever reason, has not been up to the task after Helen destroyed or damaged approximately 100,000 homes in WNC, impacting more than 200,000 people. People are living in trailers or even tents all these weeks later — and as temperatures drop.Here’s the video aerial video that Matt von Swol took last week.
I hate that I even have to post this.
Here is aerial footage I shot this morning of one of the many “tent cities” in #WNC due to Helene.
FEMA says these don’t exist. Yet, here it is.
So, where are you FEMA? Why have you abandoned us?

“Any news organization or network can use this footage,” added. “You don’t need my permission. Just please get these people out of tents and into something warm.”
Well, that’s exactly what hundreds of Amish volunteers have been doing.
WNC resident (and X user) Margo reported last month that her area had “56 passenger bus load groups of skilled Amish carpenters coming down from Lancaster PA weekly to help build tiny homes for Cabins for Christ.” Margo was doing her bit, looking for help finding room to lodge all of the volunteers. “We are bringing our own supplies and would be 100% self-sufficient,” she posted, “Just need a place under [a] roof to sleep and house our volunteers from Monday night through Friday night every week.”
And Another Thing: According to another X user, Scott Presler helped make sure all those volunteers voted early in Pennsylvania before they trekked down to North Carolina. Is this a remarkable time for conservatives or what?That’s the kind of spirit that helps make America great. Then there’s all the hard work those Amish carpenters accomplished after they arrived.
Teamed up with Cabins 4 Christ, the Amish volunteers have been working five-day shifts before swapping out for the next team of volunteers. Nobody seems to know how many tiny homes have been built. But I used my paid research assistant, ChatGPT, to do some investigating for me. For whatever it’s worth, ChatGPT claims that “In disaster relief efforts, such as the recent North Carolina project, Amish carpenters often build small cabins in as little as 5 days.”
If a small team can build a home each week, and there are hundreds of volunteers working for almost four weeks, they must have built more than a hundred quality cottages by now. All on their own dime. If you know anything about Amish carpentry, you might safely assume those little cottages are well-built.
Then this happened.

The Amish came to Western NC and built 100+ tiny homes to shelter Helene victims from the cold mountain weather.

Remember, Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper is NC’s ineptocrat governor. He’s NC’s version of JB Pritzker.
And the county officials sound just as inept.
Why not let the market decide? Tents or cottages? I know which I would choose, especially in sub-freezing weather at night.
Anchored or not.
