Joe Biden and Kamala Harris got around to going to North Carolina and Georgia on Wednesday to review the damage from Hurricane Helene. But in the face of all the devastation that has happened in the region, what Harris had to say seemed to be pitifully lacking. Just as Biden did in Maui after the huge fire there when he promised $700, Harris promised a paltry sum of $750 payment to people, some of whom may just have lost everything. [Tweet, video] If you lost your home, that would barely pay for a few days in a hotel and food for a family.

Helene Goes Far Beyond What the Media
Is Willing to Tell You 6 replies
Another day, another batch of news coming from the people that demonstrates just how much the government has failed the people, especially the victims of Hurricane Helene.
Amid the heartbreak and loss, we've been learning that FEMA has completely used up its budget to the point where there's little to no funds for disaster relief, reportedly because much of the budget was used up helping illegals at the border.
This isn't exactly common knowledge because the media isn't being forthcoming with this information. In fact, every time I mention this on various accounts,

the Teleprompter Goes Out at Labor Event

Kamala Harris visited Flint, Michigan, to talk to labor union members.
As we reported, she's been losing a lot of union support, so she has to shore up usually reliable supporters. The latest news was from the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) , which said that it would not be endorsing a presidential candidate for 2024. The last time they did that was when they also didn't endorse Hillary Clinton in 2016. That was a big message to Kamala Harris, just one of the many messages from unions this year. She's losing a lot of support from union members who now support former President Donald Trump.

After January 6th, then-Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) hitched her political fortunes to opposing former President Donald Trump. Then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) saw that as an opportunity to give the Democrats and their coming J6 committee a facade of legitimacy. Pelosi wasn’t looking for a new friend; she wanted a useful stooge. Sure, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) cried his way through the committee, and he made up the other part of the committee cabal, but Liz Cheney was the co-chair. She had had the gavel. She led the charge. Was it based on love of country? “Patriotism over party”? I submit that it is just the opposite:
On Friday, former President Donald Trump headed to Evans, Georgia, where he and Republican Governor Brian Kemp were briefed on the devastation from Hurricane Helene in the eastern part of the Peach state, and delivered remarks. You might want to read that sentence again. [Tweet]
They were invited by local officials, according to reports:
But the event is not being billed as a campaign appearance, and officials in Columbia County invited both men to attend the briefing, according to a person with knowledge of the appearance, granted anonymity to speak freely.
Of course, Kemp and Trump appearing in the same place is huge. They last did that in 2020,
We are hearing more and more about the devastation wrought by last weekend's Hurricane Helene, and how our fellow Americans in Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, and Eastern Georgia have been adversely affected. Towns completely destroyed, too many lives lost, and way too much government incompetence and malfeasance.
But we are also hearing about the good: neighbors helping neighbors, brave heroes in private aircraft reaching remote areas with means of communication, supplies, food, water, and hope. This week's Feel-Good Friday offering is a Helene hero story of a different variety, but it is still one for the books.

Politically incorrect words don’t kill, but Venezuelan gangs do.
Donald Trump this week warned rally-goers in a small Wisconsin community that “if Kamala is reelected, your town and every town . . . will be transformed into a third-world hellhole.”
He’s repeatedly said that Biden-Harris open borders are turning New York into a “third world nation” and America into a “third world disaster” — and the rhetoric makes left-wing elites apoplectic.
Never mind the violence perpetrated by migrant gangs and the societal disorder caused by open borders: Their problem is with the words.
NPR says the term “third world” is “offensive.” Foreign Policy columnist Howard French calls it “utterly racist rhetoric.”
Kamala's been looking everywhere for the union label, but she just can't seem to find one.
In the latest blow to her campaign, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) has followed in the footsteps of the Teamsters union and declined to endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential race. This breaks with a decades-long tradition of the IAFF endorsing nearly all Democrat presidential candidates.
A post that appeared on the IAFF's X account Thursday stated that their executive board voted not to endorse after "taking unprecedented steps to hear our members' views and the policy issues that matter most to them" over the past year.
The federal government's disaster response agency doesn't have enough money to help Americans left in distress by Hurricane Helene after blowing billions on illegal migrants.
Over the last two years, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has handed out more than $1 billion taxpayer dollars to specifically support illegal migrants with housing.
But now there's no money to help out the 150,000 American citizens who have reached out for federal assistance after their homes were damaged by Hurricane Helene.
'FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season,' Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted on Wednesday.

The devastation that Tropical Storm Helene inflicted on western North Carolina is still heartbreaking several days after the storm has passed. Countless North Carolinians are stranded in the mountains and valleys of that part of the state, many of them without medications or other things that they need to survive.
Towns and cities like Asheville are dealing with widespread damage and power outages. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park has several road and trail closures, even as U.S. 441, the main highway between Cherokee and Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Sevierville, remains open and passable.
It's hard to describe how difficult people in North Carolina have it,
Eva Edl is a survivor. The 89-year-old widow grew up in the former Yugoslavia, where she saw the horrors of Communism firsthand. She came to the U.S. because she thought it was a bastion of freedom and liberty, however, she now finds herself facing time in prison for trying to convince women not to kill their unborn babies.
When Edl was six, the Nazis invaded her homeland. Even though her family had German heritage, the Nazis considered her father an “impure Aryan” and sent him to the front lines. As he lay sick in a hospital bed, he sent a message to his family to flee,

A Virginia school board must fork over more than $500,000 to a former French teacher who was fired in 2018 for refusing to use a transgender student’s preferred pronouns.
The teacher, Peter Vlaming, along with Christian legal group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed a lawsuit against the district, arguing his termination was a violation of his religious beliefs.
“I was wrongfully fired from my teaching job because my religious beliefs put me on a collision course with school administrators who mandated that teachers ascribe to only one perspective on gender identity—their preferred view,” Vlaming said in a statement following the settlement agreement.

Former President Barack Obama is coming to the aid of Vice President Kamala Harris in battleground states during the final stretch of the 2024 campaign.
A senior Harris campaign official told POLITICO on Friday that beginning next week, Obama will start a swing-state “blitz,” speaking at rallies in support of the Democratic nominee. Obama’s first appearance on the battleground state trail will be in the Pittsburgh area on Thursday, POLITICO reported. The former president is then expected to hit multiple Rust Belt and Sun Belt states.

The U.S. economy added far more jobs than expected in September, pointing to a vital employment picture as the unemployment rate edged lower, the Labor Department reported Friday.
Nonfarm payrolls surged by 254,000 for the month, up from a revised 159,000 in August and better than the 150,000 Dow Jones consensus forecast. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, down 0.1 percentage point. With upward revisions from previous months, the report eases concerns about the state of the labor market and likely locks in the Federal Reserve to a more gradual pace of interest rate reductions.
My only conversation with Pete Rose came in the early 1980s, when he was with the Phillies. And he started it. It was early April, a Friday night, and the Phils were to be on NBC’s “Game of the Week,” the next day. Some NBC public relations fellows were driving down to Philly for the game and asked if I’d like to join them. With our red media field-access credentials dangling from our belts, we watched batting practice from behind the cage. When Rose finished his swings, he walked over, eyed the press passes, then began to speak. Boy, did he.
President Joe Biden warned of the possibility that former president Donald Trump and his followers will not handle the 2024 presidential election peacefully.
Biden, appearing Friday at the White House press briefing for the first time, expressed concerns about how Trump will respond to the election, given his false claims surrounding the 2020 contest.
“I’m confident [the election] will be free and fair,” Biden said. “I don’t know whether it will be peaceful. The things that Trump has said and the things that he said last time out, when he didn’t like the outcome of the election, were very dangerous.”
Biden went on to criticize Trump’s running mate, Senator J. D. Vance

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris celebrated the news that the International Longshoremen’s Association union had temporarily paused their strike until after the election.
The union ended their three-day strike until January 15, after reaching a temporary agreement with the U.S. Maritime Alliance.
The port employers offered workers to increase wages by 62 percent, according to reports, which helped reach a 'tentative agreement.'The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard

Outside of the White House tonight, Joe Biden was asked what he thinks is needed by the states in the storm zone of Helene. His response was jaw dropping.
After a pause, Biden said “Oh, storm zone? I didn’t know which storm you’re talking about…” He then claimed that they’re getting everything they need and that they’re very happy.
That must be news to the millions of Americans who are still waiting for a government response as they’re still digging out of the rubble
The dockworkers' union has agreed to return to work after the White House intervened and strong-armed the U.S. Maritime Alliance, representing shipping companies, to give the union what they wanted regarding wages.
The dockworkers will return to work immediately under the old contract and the two sides will have until January 15 to hammer out the outstanding issues.
Why Biden didn't intervene to prevent the strike is clear. He wanted the International Longshoreman Union (ILA) to demonstrate its muscle and willingness to shut down the U.S. economy to get what it wanted.
If Donald Trump wins this election, the postmortems on Kamala Harris’ campaign should put her choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate at the top of her list of mistakes.
Much of America got to know Walz for the first time during Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate. Unlike his appearance at the Democratic National Convention, the Walz we saw on the debate stage didn’t have his words written for him in a teleprompter. And the unfiltered version underscored a very obvious fact about the governor: He is patently fake. For starters, how about this “Coach Walz” nonsense, which he broached yet again on Tuesday. Let’s be real,
Kamala Harris has sparked fury after praising former vice president Dick Cheney while campaigning with his daughter in Wisconsin.
Dick Cheney, the longtime Wyoming congressman and conservative vice president to George W. Bush is often blamed for America's invasion of Iraq in March 2003.
'I also want to thank your father, vice president Dick Cheney, for his support, and what he has done to serve our country,' Harris said on Thursday while thanking his daughter, Liz, for supporting her. While Harris' embrace of former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney may have been hard to swallow for some Democrats - it was the praise for her father that appeared to
The Maryland Department of State Police (MDSP) has committed to shell out more than $2 million in back pay to black and female applicants who could not pass state trooper tests as part of a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). (snip) MDSP requires that state trooper candidates successfully complete both written and physical tests, which the DOJ alleged “discriminate” against the black and female candidates who could not pass them.
MDSP’s Functional Fitness Assessment Test (FFAT) required female applicants to do “push-ups, sit-ups, a seated reach, a trigger pull, and a one-and-a-half mile run,” according to the complaint.
Obama-Harris whisperer David Axelrod, host of the “Axe Files” podcast, said the quiet part out loud as the Biden Regime blocks ongoing rescue operations in North Carolina.
Axelrod said Hurricane Helene victims in North Carolina are mainly Trump voters who will find it hard to vote in the 2024 election.
David Axelrod said affected Democrats from Asheville are “upscale liberal voters, and they’re probably going to figure out a way to vote. I’m not sure a bunch of these folks who had their homes and lives destroyed elsewhere, in western North Carolina, in the mountains, there are going to be as easy to wrangle for the Trump campaign.”

Zone Need. His Response Sets Social Media Ablaze 14 replies
President Biden appeared confused Thursday evening when asked what he thought states impacted by Hurricane Helene needed after he spent the day touring parts of Florida and Georgia that were battered by the Category 4 storm.
“What do the states in the storm zone need after what you saw today?” a reporter asked him.
Biden paused momentarily before responding.
“Oh, in the storm zone!” he said.
“Yes, sir,” the reporter replied.
“I’m wondering what storm you’re talking about,” Biden continued. “They’re getting everything they need and they’re very happy across the board.”

Western NC is Trump country, so delaying or denying help to them means that voting will be affected. This is just another form of election interference!!
