Henderson County Main Library termed a toxic bastion of wokeism
Sunday, 08 February 2026 21:56

When one steps into the Henderson County Main Library in Hendersonville, one steps into an all-blanketing, toxic atmosphere of political correctness and wokeism and cancel culture — so thick you can cut it with a knife.

It envelops you like the San Francisco fog!

And prior to enterting the Henderson County Main Library, one must leave his constitutional rights to freedom of speech and freedom of expressession outside the building... or else be confronted by cancel culture inside.

It reminds me of the immersive video game where you are immersed within a politically correct public library marked by all-blanketing political correctness and book bans and culling of politically incorrect library books from library shelves and their replacement by politically correct books that contain fake facts, misinformation and disinformation.

Who is responsible for this?

A few years ago, a zeitgeist of political correctness and wokeism and cancel culture descended upon Hendersonville and blanketed the area like a blanket of snow — and it needs to be shoveled away!

All of the members of the U.S. Supreme Court are cowards

This has to end! Our current president is not the man for the job.

He is destroying our country. SCOTUS  en banc must come forward to demand that President D.J Trump resign the presidency immediately. 

Please, resign for the sake of the U.S. and our standing in the world . 

To the people and leaders of the entire world: We apologize for the actions of President Trump, this is not America. We elected — a mentally ill with severe thinking problems — president... and greatly regret our mistake and are sorry for his actions in the past year .

Abortion donations yield returns to average American, reader claims

Grok says every dollar an average Ashevillean gives to Carolina Abortion Fund can save him $4.10 in school and child care tax by every level of government, but Planned Parenthood South Atlantic can only recoup $3.50 due to greater dilution by larger nonresident populations served, not by the literal ocean; unless he moves out within 19 years. 

Wealthier taxpayers can profit even more from such donations, but what can the local Unitarian Universalist church save on Sunday school costs?

I knew that cities could profit, and churches and millionaires, but it took unconstrained AI calculations to convince me that normal, individual donors could profit, despite existing abortion charities mostly serving nonresidents.
