Kamala Harris has been desperately trying to exploit Hurricanes Helene and Milton to boost her politically, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis isn’t letting her get away with that in Florida.
Earlier this week, NBC News reported that he refused to take her calls. DeSantis has disputed the report, saying that if Harris had reached out to him, he would have taken the call. But Kamala, still trying to appear as the adult in the room, accused DeSantis of “playing political games” and being “utterly irresponsible” and “selfish.”
During a Thursday morning interview on CNBC, DeSantis was pressed to clarify the details of his recent clash with Kamala Harris, and he wasted

Speaking nearly 12 hours after Hurricane Milton's landfall, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that although the storm left significant damage, the state was spared from the worst-case scenario officials feared.
The hurricane weakened on Wednesday from a Category 5 down to a Category 3, which meteorologists had forecast. Although forecasters accurately predicted wind shear would cause Milton to weaken, there were concerns that wind shear would not be enough to take away Milton's fury.
Although the damage was extensive, it was not catastrophic.

Democratic strategist James Carville said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that he was “scared to death” about the election and that the Harris-Walz campaign needed to be “much more aggressive.”
Carville said, “The only thing I feel is the election is coming November 5, and I’m scared to death.”
Host Ari Melber asked, “You’re not in a reflective mood?”
Carville said, “I’m not in a particularly reflective mood right now. I’m very concerned.”
Melber said, “What does Harris need to do with the month left?”
Carville said, “She doesn’t have a month left. We’ve got 26 days. Today is gone, and you are going to lose another four in a hurricane. Just subtract that.

The New York Post and The Free Press offered new reporting Tuesday night and Friday morning on the continued fallout and outrage and subsequent modern-day Struggle Sessions directed at CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil for the alleged crime of asking leftist icon Ta-Nehisi Coates probing questions about his virulently anti-Israel book. Among the new findings are that a tear-eyed Dokoupil said he “regretted” making his colleagues feel uncomfortable, a private meeting with his co-hosts (former NFL player Nate Burleson and Oprah best friend/Kamala Harris and Obama donor Gayle King), a meeting with DEI consultant was scrapped given his racist and far-left politics

MADISON, Wis. — Justices on the Wisconsin Supreme Court said Wednesday that Gov. Tony Evers’ creative use of his expansive veto power in an attempt to lock in a school funding increase for 400 years appeared to be “extreme” and “crazy” but questioned whether and how it should be reined in.
“It does feel like the sky is the limit, the stratosphere is the limit,” Justice Jill Karofsky said during oral arguments, referring to the governor’s veto powers. “Perhaps today we are at the fork in the road ... I think we’re trying to think should we, today in 2024, start to look at this differently.”

Far-left CBS News is proving itself to be every bit as corrupt and dishonest as CNN. In just one week, the former news outlet has publicly shamed one of its own anchors for asking the objectively reprehensible Ta-Nehisi Coates a couple of challenging questions about his antisemitic book. Then CBS’s former news program 60 Minutes was caught rigging its interview to make sitting Vice President Kamala Harris sound nearly coherent.
Below is the video CBS This Morning co-anchor Tony Dokoupil is getting publicly reamed for, as he’s forced to take part in CBS struggle sessions until he expresses his “regrets”:

TAMPA, Fla. — Hurricane Milton made landfall Wednesday along Florida’s Gulf Coast as a Category 3 storm, bringing powerful winds, deadly storm surge and potential flooding to much of the state. Milton drew fuel from exceedingly warm Gulf of Mexico waters, twice reaching Category 5 status.
The cyclone had maximum sustained winds of 120 mph (205 kph) as it roared ashore near Siesta Key, a prosperous strip of white-sand beaches about 70 miles south of Tampa, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said. The Tampa Bay area has not taken a direct hit from a major hurricane in more than a century but the storm was still bringing

Private Harris campaign polling shows Vice President Kamala Harris is in a lot of trouble, political analyst Mark Halperin said on The Morning Meeting with Sean Spicer and Dan Turrentine.
Despite Harris being up three points nationally according to the New York Times poll, Halperin said he sees her support as precarious.
While highlighting key states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, where Harris’s polling deteriorated, Halperin explained that the Wall Street Journal reported that Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s (D-WI) campaign shared negative polling with the paper, indicating broader implications for Democratic candidates in Senate races linked to Harris’s performance.
The consensus was that Harris faces significant risks in multiple battleground

Few living Americans have stood longer against government persecution for their freedoms than Colorado baker Jack Phillips. He has been repeatedly targeted under Colorado anti-discrimination law for adhering to his Christian faith. At long last, his third legal saga is over after the Colorado supreme court on Tuesday rejected the latest lawsuit against him on procedural grounds. After twelve years, Phillips is free of the courts. We can only hope he stays free — and that his fellow citizens will, too.
The end of the current round of persecution of Phillips is cause for celebration but not for unbridled joy. This is America.

Toyota Motor Corp. is reportedly shifting away from DEI initiatives and pro-LGBTQ events following recent online backlash, according to a new report.
Bloomberg reported that the company sent a memo to its US employees last week, stating it will “narrow community activities to align with STEM education and workforce readiness” and will no longer participate in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index. A week before, anti-woke activist and filmmaker Robby Starbuck highlighted several progressive initiatives within Toyota, including financial support for groups opposing laws that ban gender transition treatments for minors, establishing Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) based on race and gender orientation

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,”

Hurricane Helene has devastated parts of Georgia, east Tennessee and particularly western North Carolina.
The death and destruction it dealt to unprepared mountain communities has been catastrophic.
More than a week later, roads are still closed, thousands lack electricity, and hundreds of people are missing amid an unimpressive response from federal and state governments.
So leave it to Politico to ask the big question: Is this good for the Democrats? “The parts of western North Carolina and eastern Georgia that were flooded by the monster storm are largely Republican,” the outlet noted.
“In 2020, [Donald Trump] won 61% percent of the vote in the North Carolina counties that were declared
