Admits They 'Rotor Washed' a Hurricane

As RedState reported on Tuesday, Brian Trascher, Vice President and PIO of the United Cajun Navy, confirmed the Sunday "rotor washing" event at one of their Hurricane Helene relief stations in North Carolina by what he surmised was a UH60 Blackhawk helicopter.
On the evening of Sunday, October 6, a helicopter "rotor washed" a POD center where the United Cajun Navy was distributing supplies and giving relief to the people impacted by Hurricane Helene. This area was no-fly territory, so the appearance of a helicopter flying 500 feet from the ground was extremely frightening, as the UCN documented on its X page.
Only MSNBC would trot out this clown to deliver such nonsense about Hurricane Milton. Bill Nye was featured for a segment since every left-wing blowhard thinks hurricane season is some climate change phenomenon. Without fail, this is where some people go. To the public’s credit, it’s dismissed mainly since everyone has more important things to dwell on now. People are preparing for Milton in Florida, but Nye decided to drop his solution: if you want to stop these storms, vote for Kamala Harris in November. I’m not kidding—he pretty much said that:
Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.
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
Former President Donald Trump’s sprawling Florida mansion and club, Mar-a-Lago, will be just fine as Hurricane Milton sweeps over the area — because it’s tethered to a coral reef, experts said.
Trump’s official home in Palm Beach was designed to be storm-proof — made with reinforced concrete, 3-foot-thick walls and steel anchors holding the structure to the coral reef below it, the Palm Beach Post reported.
It’s also located on the Sunshine State’s east coast, opposite from where the storm is expected to make landfall early Thursday.

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.

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.

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

As Hurricane Milton barrels toward the west coast of Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis fired a shot across the bow of anyone lying in wait to plunder homes or businesses left abandoned in the storm.

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.
Self-professed radio guru Jessie Kelly recently did a show discussing the reality that, often, what seems like a win in life can turn out to be a loss, and what seems like a loss can turn out to be a win.
I was thinking about this regarding the uproar from the vice-presidential debate question to JD Vance whether he thought Trump lost in 2020.

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
Until the day he retired, my parents revered CBS News’s Walter Cronkite. Combining dignity with a gentle flow of compassion and wisdom, and always with a warm twinkle in his eye, he informed Americans about events worldwide. Then he concluded the show by saying, “And that’s the way it is.” They told me how they wept with him when President Kennedy died, and they believed him when he lied about the U.S. victory in the Tet Offensive, a lie that effectively lost the Vietnam War for America. In those days, CBS News had gravitas, and no one knew understood was pushing propaganda along with its straight news reporting
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.
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.

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.

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
The problem with solving problems is that once they are solved, no one needs the solver anymore. The better kinds of problems are recurring problems that ensure customer retention, employing plumbers, locksmiths and police officers, but the best kind are the completely unsolvable problems.

a false picture’ of protection for Trump: Hawley replies
Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley sent letters to U.S. Secret Service (USSS) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) leaders on Wednesday detailing a new whistleblower claim that Secret Service leadership is trying to hide the level of protection given to former President Donald Trump. The letter to USSS Director Ronald Rowe and DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari alleges a whistleblower’s claims that government auditors are being denied access to certain Trump campaign events in an effort to hide these apparent protection shortfalls for the former president.
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.

Political analyst Mark Halperin said this week that both Democrats and Republicans believe former President Trump’s chances of winning the election are looking strong after seeing recent private polling data. Appearing on a livestream on his media platform 2WAY, Halperin said people on both sides of the political aisle familiar with the polls have told him they’ve seen Vice President Harris’ electoral prospects slip, and that they’re leaning towards a Trump victory being in the cards. "In the conversations I'm having with Trump people and Democrats with data, they are extremely bullish on Trump's chances in the last 48 hours. Extremely bullish," Halperin said.
In a perfect storm of Democratic nonsense, White House chief flack Karine Jean-Pierre blew off factual info around Federal Emergency Management Agency spending and foreign aid that her own employers released as “misinformation” before stomping off in a huff.

I was initially wondering why it took CBS 60-Minutes over 36 hours to upload the full interview to their YouTube account. Now things make sense.
CBS 60-Minutes not only edited the interview, but they also completely erased parts of the interview and structurally moved answers to questions in an intentional effort to assist the Harris campaign. In essence, CBS completely changed the interview.

If ever there was an ironclad example of the failures of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices in Kamala Harris’ America, the devastating government response to Hurricane Helene should leave no doubt. And it’s about to grow ever more apparent.

Hurricane Helene victims are suffering because of it. Hurricane Milton victims are about to as well.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a whole has endured stunning ineptitude through the DEI-fueled hiring of Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Hurricane Milton has started to impact Florida, with the full force of the historic storm set to hit Tampa Bay later tonight.
The once-in-a-century weather event's winds have begun to hit Florida's Gulf Coast. Milton is a Category 5 hurricane with winds of 160mph, according to a 5am National Hurricane Center update.
It sits around 300 miles off the coast of Tampa and is moving towards the city at around 14 miles an hour. Forecasters expect Milton to make landfall as a Category 4 hurricane with winds of 130mph.
The greatest danger is posed by the wall of water, known as a storm surge, that Milton will whip up.
How many times have we heard the lie from Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, as well as Democrats and media, that former President Donald Trump is somehow a "threat to democracy" or a threat to the Constitution?

In the movie Eight Men Out, the story of the White Sox who threw the Series, we remember a scene where the manager Kid Gleason goes to the mound to pull the pitcher, Lefty Williams. He looks at the pitcher and said something like "Not your day, Lefty."

Bob Woodward has a new book, War, about the inner dynamics of the Biden White House, some of which you probably guessed to be true in the long four years we’ve suffered under this man. It paints a picture that’s become familiar: an angry old man, not in control, and holding seething resentment toward pretty much everyone, including Barack Obama. It captures the baffling arrogance of Mr. Biden, who has never done anything remotely significant to earn such a demeanor.
Let The Economy Roll

Maybe the primary complaint against Kamala Harris is that voters don’t know who she is nor where she stands on issues, given her flip-flopping-for-votes campaign. But we can be sure that her instincts are to bridle the economy rather than unleash it.
Not many weeks ago, we argued that Harris’ Marxist roots, from both her mother and father, inform her economic positions. It should be kept in mind whenever looking at her economic proposals.
Without giving her economic positions a label, Harris, who has spoken appreciatively of the impact her parents had on her, is definitively, though not necessarily nominally, a Marxist.
The state of Florida had a population of 22,610,726 as of July 2023, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That ranked third among all states -- exceeded only by Texas, which had a population of 30,503,301; and California, which had a population of 38,965,193. As of this September, federal, state and local governments in this country employed a record total of 23,421,000 individuals, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In other words, government payrolls were populated by more people than lived in the state of Florida or in any of 47 other states.

At the Economic Club of Pittsburgh, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris recently said she would “engage in what Franklin Roosevelt called ‘bold, persistent experimentation,’” as he had told the 1932 graduating class at Oglethorpe University. But she did not mention FDR’s vision of “remaking the world,” which included fundamentally changing “our popular economic thought” to see to “a wiser, more equitable distribution of the national income.”
Instead, she said she would seek “practical solutions” and even declared, “I am a capitalist.” She said she’s “been working with entrepreneurs and business owners” for her “whole career.” (No one has yet even been able to verify Harris’ job at McDonald’s.)

An exasperated North Carolina sheriff slammed the Biden-Harris administration’s offer to Hurricane Helene survivors of $750 in “immediate” relief funds, arguing it was nothing compared to what they gave Ukraine and because it requires access to the internet — which residents in the worst-hit areas still do not have.
“That lady that’s running for president talks about the $750. Heh — what about all that money you give to Ukraine and all these other people who really want to kill us and don’t want to do anything to help us.

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
