KELY radio to take a look back at Illegal Administration - 71 years ago

While much attention has been paid to Illegal immigration in the two Trump administrations, this issue is not new.  The issue of Illegal Immigration stretches back decades.  

As President Eisenhower was contemplating what would become known as Operation Wetback, a significantly flawed mass deportation program in June of 1954, CBS Radio devoted an hour to a groundbreaking, hard-hitting documentary named "The Wetbacks". 

Using what was then cutting-edge technology, a bilingual reporter embedded in Mexico journeyed into the U.S. with a suitcase-sized portable tape recorder to explore how far migrants could travel before facing Immigration or Border Patrol forces.  Spoiler alert:  He made it all the way to Los Angeles unchallenged.  

Governor Lombardo has signed AB224. Here's why we needed this!

White Pine School superintendent Adam Young notified us Wednesday night (June 11) that Governor Lombardo has signed Assembly Bill 224.  The video below explains why this bill is necessary.   

------------------------------

Original story reported April 6, 2025

Disgraceful.

The fact that we have county commissioners who refuse to acknowledge that we have two schools built before World War I still in active service and need to be replaced because the renovation costs would exceed the replacement costs, that is disgraceful.

The good news is that Assembly Bill 224 has passed out of committee with additional sponsors.  That means we might be able to get the bonds with no additional cost to the citizens of White Pine County.  And yet, Commissioner Dirt and Commissioner Sheep fail to understand the crisis.  Watch this presentation video and realize the danger that opponents are putting our children -- our future-- in.  

If it hit the fan like it did in Western North Carolina, would you be prepared?

 After a week, people in Western North Carolina have no power, internet, or reliable cell service.  What's keep them informed?  Radio.

Radio is a lifeline, but how can you be connected to the lifeline if you don't HAVE a radio?  Sadly, people think of radio as an antiquity, a relic of the past.  But when push comes to shove, radio will be here long after the other devices have failed.  

But how do you get a radio?  What little retail business we have in White Pine County doesn't even sell them.  Well, The Greek might, but the others?  Nope. 

Try this inexpensive radio.  Under $20, uses 2 AA batteries.   Add this to your next Amazon order. (I know you're shopping Amazon and not local.  It's no secret.)

If nothing else, you might learn some truths that Facebook and TikTok won't tell you.  Because they don't give a damn about you.  You know that. 

Dysfunctional County Commission has lunch-possible

 During the break of the April 16, 2025 County Commission meeting, four of the five commissioners had lunch together, captured by a local citizen on camera.  This is a potential Open Meetings Law and Ethics Violation, particularly if any County business was discussed during the lunch...

Here are links to news and commentary on the meeting.
