Miami faces up to 12 inches of rain as Tropical Storm Alex struck Florida on Saturday morning, trapping cars in flash floods as the cyclone barrels through the Sunshine state. The Miami Fire Department said it was using six high water vehicles to pull people from stranded cars on flooded roads throughout the city starting as early as 6 a.m., with the city closing several roads that have been inundated.'We continue to urge you to not drive or walk through standing water,' the fire department tweeted on Saturday morning. 'Be safe and please allow us to assess the situation.' Many have had to abandon their cars

Holy mackerel! Heavy rains in Florida? How........normal. I lived in the state for many years and yes, heavy rains are extremely common from tropical storms. I have seen 24" rainfalls from a hurricane which had only barely enough winds to qualify, but dumped a heck of a lot of rain. Fortunately, most of the state is either already swamp, or sandy soil that sucks up rain like a sponge. But, in cities, with lots of pavement and concrete....that prevents the local soil from absorbing it, and HUMAN modifications cause these floods.

Seems every time we get a Hurricane, the Streets flood and guess what. There is ALWAYS some Idiot who thinks he/she can be the one to get through the Flooded Street! Once they stall, they call for help. I say, let them float away! We don't need people that stupid here anyway!

A stark reminder that Miami is vulnerable to tropical storms and hurricanes. Maybe some of its residents will go back to the blue states they fled from.

A ten inch rain fall in a few hours happens often in Louisiana. Had to wade through water one day just to get to my house. It all drained off in a few hours.

Life’s a beach for President Biden.Shortly after the president and first lady Jill Biden were taken to a safe house after a private plane violated the air space around the home they own in Rehoboth Beach, Del., on Saturday, he was spotted at a nearby beach in shorts. The photo of the president, wearing a ball cap and carrying a couple of tote bags through the sand around 3 p.m., was obtained by Fox News. A couple of hours earlier, the president was rushed to a fire station by the Secret Service after the plane was detected.

After the majority draft opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was leaked, the left quickly mobilized with the talking points that Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett lied about Roe v. Wade being “settled precedent.” It was a garbage argument, of course, as there is no such thing as “settled precedent.” If there were, slavery would still be legal. Nevertheless, it’s an argument that was endlessly repeated after the Dobbs opinion was leaked.So, my question is: Will the same people who accused Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett of lying also accuse Joe Biden’s recently-confirmed U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson of lying about the individual right

Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat, is again under fire for running her mouth — or, rather, her fingers — and offending Christian conservatives and gun owners in one fell swoop. Late last week, The Recount posted a video to Twitter of Rep. Ken Buck, a Republican, defending AR-15s by noting that they’re the “gun of choice for killing raccoons before they get to our chickens.”Omar responded to the video by tweeting the following: “Jesus Christ, Republicans will literally say anything to keep the NRA blood money flowing in.”Notice the use of the words “Jesus Christ.” (Tweet/Video)

“What Is a Woman” has dropped like a bomb into the center of the political sphere, drawing a wide variety of reactions. In it, Matt Walsh interviews a range of subjects on transgender ideology, from supposed “experts” on gender to a trans-man who emotionally exposes the dangers of targeting children with so-called “gender theory” (click here and here for more coverage). But while there’s been no shortage of public praise and outrage, those you’d expect the most to give their opinions are running for the hills. According to emails published by Walsh, movie critics are refusing to even review the movie.

If it weren't for compounding interest, Cheryl — who requested her last name be withheld for privacy concerns — thinks President Joe Biden's plans to forgive $10,000 in student debt for federal borrowers might have made a difference for her.

As the nation looks for ways to cut fossil fuel emissions to meet ambitious carbon reduction goals, natural gas, that common household fuel staple loved by cooks, is feeling the heat. So far, 77 cities and towns and Washington state have banned or discouraged new natural gas hookups. Los Angeles became the latest to join the list when its City Council voted last week to rewrite building codes requiring new homes and buildings achieve zero-carbon emissions – effectively eliminating future natural gas lines. Climate change experts say the shift is a necessary part of the nation's energy transformation. About half of

Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Friday blasted President Joe Biden and his administration for having created the record-high inflation and gas prices across the United States. Jordan told Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Company” that he was not as surprised as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she was that inflation followed the “crazy” spending, paying people not to work and doing away with energy independence. He suggested it was “intentional” by the White House. “As you know and your viewers know, inflation is the worst tax possible on American families,” Jordan lamented. “So, this is real.
