She died this morning from complications related to a stroke suffered last week.

Hurricane Milton carves deadly path through Florida, millions without power  DeSantis told reporters Thursday that officials are still analyzing damage from the storm. 

   “We will better understand the extent of the damage as the day progresses,” he said. “The storm was significant but thankfully, this was not the worst case scenario.”

Here’s How The Media Are Lying Right Now: Hurricane Helene Victim-Blaming Edition  The offensive coverup originated with administration officials, including Vice President Kamala Harris. This week they have been faulting victims of the storm for the woefully slow and inept federal assistance in Tennessee and North Carolina, where Helene had the most devastating impact.

Could the Hurricane Response be Election Interference?

You can take off your tin foil hat now. Hurricane Helene will almost certainly affect the election, as ABC News, Politico, David Axelrod, and Kevin McCarthy noted above.

   Will it suppress Trump voters? Or will Harris/Biden incompetence sway marginal voters toward Trump? What will the net effect be? Another potential hurricane (Milton) is heading to Florida at the time of this writing. How will that strain already tapped out resources?

FEMA has become an ideological joke, where equity is job one and disaster assistance is job none  FEMA is a deeply febrile and inept government agency that should probably be defunded and its work contracted out to effective organizations that really care about people regardless of their gender, skin color or sexuality, like the Samaritan’s Purse.

Professor Says Men Who Don’t Vote for Kamala Should be Lined Up and Shot  “There should never be a call for violence anytime or anywhere in the classroom,” Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) added. “We must cool down the political rhetoric and be respectful and civil to each other, & that is especially true for someone charged with teaching our young people.”

   What’s even more disturbing is that the instructor’s comments were made after two assassination attempts against former President Trump.

Pro-Hamas Activists at Pomona College Take Over and Vandalize a Campus Building  Professors told students in the classes being disrupted that they could leave, but one Jewish student said they didn't feel safe walking through the throng of activists chanting about the Intifada. The activists also zip-tied the doors shut and blocked entrances so no one else could come in. As you can see in this video clip, some students were forced to climb out of windows to get away.

Pro-Hamas Protestors Vandalize Congressman’s Office for a Second Time  The Manhattan office of Representative Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) had its windows and facade covered in red paint, and the glass in its front door broken. “Free Gaza” graffiti was spray painted on the sidewalk in front of the Democrat Congressman’s office.

1 in 3 Homeschooled by 2030 as 16 Million Flee Public School, Forecast Finds  According to The Learning Counsel’s predictions, only 50.26 percent of American students will remain enrolled in public schools (including government charters and “virtual” schools) six years from now. That would represent a decline of 16 million students between today and 2030, the organization said in a report about “The Future of K12 Education.”

Debt Doom is Coming...Everybody knows it. Here's what to do   And who knows?  Politicians have been kicking the national-debt can down the road for as long as I’ve been alive.  There were predictions of doom at debt levels that seemed high back then, but that seem comically low now.  So maybe they’ll keep that can moving for a while longer.  Maybe new technology developments in AI, robotics, or nanotechnology will set off so much economic growth that we’ll grow our way out of it.  Maybe they’ll be able to inflate it away to manageable levels without setting off hyperinflation or riots.  Maybe aliens will come and offer us a new monetary system that will make debt meaningless, or enslave us all as food animals, also making debt meaningless.

   But maybe not.  There’s a pretty solid chance that we’re going to face some sort of economic collapse as the debt proves unserviceable, and there’s probably not much of anything that anyone can do to stop it, or at least nothing that anyone who could do something wants to do.

Google Does It Again, Buries US-Based Right-Leaning News on Election 23-Pages Deep  For example, Google buried Trump’s campaign website so far down that it did not appear on the first page of results during the Republican National Convention and ahead of the July presidential debate between Trump and Biden. The search giant also did this while Trump shortly after a guilty verdict following Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s politicized prosecution of him. 

This is just one of a myriad of ways that Google has interfered in American elections on behalf of its favored candidates. In fact, Google meddled in American elections no fewer than 41 times from 2008 to 2024, including by burying 83 percent of the Republican campaign websites for the most competitive Senate races during the 2022 midterm elections.

Marijuana Use Causing Psychosis, Addiction, Rare Syndrome Especially Among Young Adults: Report   A decade after the first state moved to legalize recreational marijuana, the dangerous effects of the drug are coming to light.

   Across the country, physicians are seeing more people with marijuana addiction, psychosis including delusions or paranoia, schizophrenia, and a serious syndrome involving severe vomiting as more people use the drug, The New York Times found. The outlet examined medical records, insurance data, and spoke to hundreds of doctors and marijuana users.

Almost 5,800 Minor Patients had Irreversible Gender Surgeries Last 5 Years  “The database provides conclusive proof that these interventions are happening on children across the country, both hormonal interventions and surgeries,” said Beth Serio, external relations manager at Do No Harm and a registered nurse. “We used bulletproof data from insurance claims databases to show that these procedures have been done on children.”

The bad consequences to the bad COVID policies in 2020 continue to pile up  “This study clearly shows that Pfizer’s COVID vaccine provides almost no benefit to children and adolescents, but does increase their risk of myocarditis and pericarditis,” said Brian Hooker, Ph.D., chief scientific officer of Children’s Health Defense. “It begs the question: Why does the CDC continue to recommend these unlicensed shots for kids? Where is the data they use to support their statement that the benefits of these vaccines outweigh the risks?”

Just like New Zealand, an alarming increase in people going to hospital with chest pains after the rollout of covid “vaccines” is reported in Australia  There has been a tenfold increase in chest pain and heart attacks among the under-40 population in New Zealand.  This increase began after the rollout of the mRNA injections.

   After these alarming statistics were reported in New Zealand, the media in Australia pressed the authorities for data and, unsurprisingly, it revealed the same trend.

   Also unsurprisingly, “After the reveal of the pre-covid-19 but post-vaccine New Zealand chest pain figures and other recently published studies, the prevalent misconception being promoted by health authorities, governments and the media [is] that covid-19 infection is the ultimate cause of the cardiac problems and sudden deaths among the youth,” Dr. Guy Hatchard notes. This “needs to be firmly corrected.”
