Floods at the End of a Dynasty
Posted By: Imright, 10/8/2024 9:12:43 PM
This morning I noticed a link at Instapundit linking the Appalachian floods and the Mandate of Heaven. Of course! Experts agree that Yellow River floods have frequently marked the end of a dynasty in China because the flood showed that the emperor who ruled Tianxia (天下; "all under heaven") had lost the Mandate of Heaven. The experts at Google Search AI agree: Yellow River floods have contributed to the end of multiple dynasties in China, including the Yuan, Northern Song, and Western Han dynasties. That’s because, when things start to go wrong, humans realize that God is not mocked by corrupt incompetent rulers. Secular westerners prefer

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) walked away from the counter at a cafe without paying, with Walz’s daughter revealing that “someone will be up” to pay.
Video footage posted to X appeared showed the two men walking away from the counter after Walz’s daughter tells them she will “wait” for the tea and informs a worker behind the counter that a campaign staffer is coming to the counter to pay.
“I’ll wait for your tea,” Walz’s daughter says as the two men walk away. After being handed the tea, Walz’s daughter can be heard thanking the worker and informing them that “someone will be
Kamala Harris’s campaign song may be Beyoncé’s “Freedom,” but Del Shannon’s “Runaway” is a more apt choice considering how she is operating her campaign.
As TGP readers know, Trump is scheduled to hold a campaign rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania, today at 3 ET as polls show the race to be a dead heat in the Keystone State. His speech will reportedly be focused on inflation and the rising cost of living.
But a funny thing allegedly happened just before Trump Force One departed for Scranton from “>LaGuardia International Airport in Queens today.
Republicans will use Vice President Kamala Harris’s words against her in new ad spending, Axios reported Wednesday.
Intended to highlight Harris as the anti-change candidate, the ad will center around Harris’s statement on The View when she said she could not think of one failed policy she would change from the last four years under the Biden-Harris administration.
Under the administration, costs increased by about 20 percent across the board, Russia invaded Ukraine, Hamas and Iran attacked Israel, illegal migrants invaded the southern border, and the nation suffered the deadly Afghan withdrawal.

St. Petersburg, Florida—These are the hard-headed Floridians who have ignored repeated, dire warnings to get the hell out of dodge.
“I guess I’m going down with the ship if I have to,” said 60-year-old Marc Tucker, whom The Post found driving around his neighborhood in a bright yellow, 40-inch lifted Jeep Wrangler with a waterproofed interior.
“I live about four blocks from the water. All my neighbors have gone. I’m the only one left on my block. Everyone left but me. They all want me to call them to let them know I’m safe.”

Rudy Giuliani’s son is trying to save his dad’s Yankees World Series rings from being used to settle the $148 million defamation judgment against the former Big Apple mayor.
Andrew Giuliani says three of the four rings — from the Yankees’ 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000 wins — were gifted to him by his dad and therefore shouldn’t be turned over to the two Georgia poll workers seeking to collect on the massive 2023 judgment, according to court papers.

Kamala's North Carolina Lie

Vice President Kamala Harris has no problem lying and flip-flopping on her own policies while repeatedly saying she is ready to “turn the page.” To change her course, she would have to separate herself from the Democratic Party, and this week, she has already proven that she is incapable of doing so. North Carolina Mayor Derek Roberts accused Harris of lying about the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) efforts to help residents who lost everything in Hurricane Helene.
According to Roberts, storm victims are not getting the $750 relief payment Harris promised them. Instead, the mayor said his daughter, and many others, were turned down for the payment and

Kamala Harris had an obvious hot microphone moment during a briefing on Hurricane Milton.
Donald Trump's campaign and critics on X are accusing the vice president of being fed what to say during the briefing on Wednesday.
While National Weather Service Director Ken Graham was providing information on the storm, Harris could be seen covering her mouth awkwardly and heard saying: 'It's a live broadcast.' (Photo) 'Kamala can be heard telling an aide (who is feeding her questions) that it's a 'live broadcast' before immediately asking the question. She's a total fraud,' Trump War Room wrote on it's X page with a clip of the moment.
Democrats, who were once optimistic about the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris, are now feeling extremely nervous about the party’s decision to push President Joe Biden to step aside.
Harris won exactly zero Democrat primary votes before her coronation and held one of the lowest approval ratings as a vice president in U.S. history. Only after the establishment media began writing about Harris in a positive way did her standing among the electorate appear to rise.Everything is deadlocked and the composition of the electorate is unknowable, and there are so many things that are unprecedented,” said Jamal Simmons, a Democrat strategist who served as Harris’s communications director until last year.

The earliest signs of Hurricane Milton's coming gale-force winds and sheets of rain are now belting Florida as the eye of the storm barrels on toward its western coast.
The US National Hurricane Center (NHC) has called Milton 'dangerous' and 'catastrophic' ― reporting that it's maintaining its Category 5 status as it builds up to 'devastating' maximum sustained winds of 160 miles per hour (mph).
The eye of the storm is expected to hit Tampa late Wednesday just around midnight, based on forecast models from NHC and weather data visualization firm Ventusky.
“World’s worst influencer” Caroline Calloway says she is refusing to leave her Florida home in a “mandatory evacuation” zone — even though she knows it’ll likely kill her.
“So if you’ve been following Hurricane Milton, um, I’m going to die,” the controversial Instagram scammer said in a video Tuesday, a day before the monstrous storm is expected to kill those who refuse to leave.
“It’s supposed to make landfall in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. I’m in Sarasota, I live on the water. It’s a zone A, mandatory evacuation,” she said.(Photo) The 32-year-old, an early influencer who hawked workshops that never happened while getting friends to ghostwrite her popular posts, attempted to explain
During the disastrous August 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden administration evacuated thousands of unvetted Afghans and allowed many of them into the United States. At the time, Americans and Afghan interpreters who served the U.S. military in their fight against the Taliban, were left behind. (X) The White House reassured Americans Afghans coming to the United States would be vetted, especially given the country is home to ISIS, the Taliban and Al Qaeda. In September 2021, just days after the last U.S. soldier left the country, Press Secretary Jen Psaki said "no one" coming to the U.S.

Apparently, Kamala’s interview with 60 Minutes was much worse than we first thought.
Fake news 60 Minutes was caught editing Kamala’s answers to make her sound coherent and normal.
In fact it was so bad that ’60 Minutes’ spliced her nonsensical answer and replaced it with a completely separate sentence she said earlier in the interview. Cut Kamala’s nonsense answer on Israel and replaced it with a completely separate sentence she said earlier in the interview…

Minnesota governor Tim Walz on Tuesday reiterated his support for abolishing the Electoral College and switching to a national popular vote as the sole means of electing presidents and their running mates.
While campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris on the West Coast, Walz suggested at two different fundraisers that he would prefer to focus on winning votes across the country rather than concentrate on key battleground states that could sway the upcoming presidential election as they have done in the past. “I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go. We need, we need national popular vote, but that’s not the world we live in,”
Hezbollah said Tuesday it is now ready to engage in cease-fire talks with Israel, after suffering serious blows to its leadership and ranks in recent months.
The terror group in Lebanon made the announcement after firing more than 100 rockets at the Jewish state hours earlier.
Hezbollah’s deputy secretary general, Naim Qassem, publicly endorsed a truce with Israel, the first such time the terror group has proposed a cease-fire not conditioned on the war in Gaza. “We support the political efforts led by [Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih] Berri under the banner of achieving a cease-fire,” Qassem said, according to a CNN translation.
New Zealand’s navy has suffered its first peacetime ship loss since World War II when the $100 million multi-role support vessel HMNZS Manawanui ran aground off the southern coast of Upolu Island, Samoa, caught fire and eventually sank—triggering an environmental disaster in the process.
With all 75 passengers and crew evacuated, the vessel’s loss brings fresh scrutiny to the leadership under its openly lesbian commanding officer, Commander Yvonne Gray.
The Manawanui, originally built in Norway and repurposed for New Zealand’s Royal Navy with a substantial $103 million investment, was conducting a seabed survey mission when it hit a reef, according to maritime news outlet gCaptain.

Supporters of former President Donald Trump were ecstatic to hear that Vice President Kamala Harris could leave the country if he wins next month's presidential election.
Harris didn't specifically say she would jump ship, but rather didn't answer the question directly when it was posed Tuesday by radio host Howard Stern.
Stern, a vocal Democrat and Harris supporter, had asked the Democratic nominee: 'If he wins, God forbid, would you feel safe in this country? Would you stay in this country?'

Millions of Christians in the United States indicated in a study released on Monday that they are not likely to vote in the upcoming election this November, signaling a potential problem for the Republican Party.
Just over half of interviewees (51%) in a Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University study, who identified as "people of faith," responded that they are likely to vote in the presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris said Monday on CBS’s “60 Minutes” that she owns a Glock semi-automatic pistol.
Correspondent Bill Whitaker said, “A hard left turn here, but you recently surprised people when you said that you are a gun owner and that if someone came into your house they would get shot.” Harris said, “That is not the first time I’ve talked about it.”Whitaker said, “What kind of gun do you own and when and why did you get it?”

SWANNANOA, North Carolina — Hundreds of special operations personnel in North Carolina have formed their own homegrown rescue and supply operation in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene after they grew tired of waiting for the federal government to get its act together.

Vice President Kamala Harris cracked open a can of Miller High Life on Tuesday, and took one sip, during an appearance on CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
“When you first became the nominee and named Tim Walz as your vice president nominee people were calling it the vibe election. The vibes were all good,” late-night host Stephen Colbert told Harris, referring to the enthusiasm for the new Democratic nominee after President Biden dropped out of the race.
“But elections, I think, are won on vibes,” Colbert continued, in a clip released his show. “Because one of the old saws is I –
President Biden uses a vulgar nickname for former President Donald Trump when the Democrat speaks about his predecessor in private, according to a forthcoming book.
“That f—king a—hole” is how Biden, 81, refers to Trump, 78, behind closed doors, CNN reported Tuesday in a preview of Bob Woodward’s tome “War,” out next week.
In public, Biden usually refers to Trump in roundabout ways, such as “my predecessor” or “the former guy” — when the incumbent deigns to mention the 45th president at all.
The president’s hot temper and penchant for profanity has been reported before, with Politico revealing in October 2021 that Biden regularly f-bombed West Wing aides in meetings,
Of all the results from the latest I&I/TIPP poll, the most unsettling has to be that voters think Kamala Harris is at least as much of a fiscal and economic conservative as Donald Trump.
Our latest poll, taken of 997 likely voters, finds that more voters say they trust Harris (who’s already announced $4 trillion in tax hikes) than Trump to cut taxes by a 48%-45% margin. Among the crucial independent voters, the margin is even greater – 49% to 36%.
That’s not all.
