Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore struck
by tree live on air during Hurricane Ian
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 9/30/2022 3:14:28 AM
Dramatic footage showed Weather Channel meteorologist Jim Cantore struggling to stand and being struck by a tree branch while on-air covering Hurricane Ian in Florida. Cantore was reporting live from an intersection in Punta Gorda, Florida, Wednesday when he was nearly taken out by a tree branch as the Category 4 storm bore down on the state’s west coast. The dramatic footage captured Cantore stumbling through heavy rains and 100-mph winds. Cantore was seen placing his hands on the road as he staggered toward a traffic signal. “Give me a second,” he said, barely losing composure as he regained his footing. “You just can’t stand up!”

Amid the wreckage this week in Florida due to Hurricane Ian, one military family is counting its blessings — and wishing for the safety, well-being and good health of other Americans who have been badly impacted by the latest destructive storm.
The family also reminded other Americans that we have “built” in the past — and “we will rebuild” in the future.
“Yesterday evening I got a notification on my phone that our nest cam picked up movement,” wrote the mom of four based in Sarasota, Fla., on Thursday. She shared her messages and story with Fox News Digital and asked for privacy for her family.
Former President Jimmy Carter turned 98 on Saturday and celebrated in Plains, Georgia — where he was born in 1924, while Calvin Coolidge was in office.
Carter, who has lived longer than any other president in US history, marked the occasion with his family, including wife Rosalynn, 95. He attended a parade in Plains and watched from a wheelchair.
A picture posted by the Carter Center showed Carter smiling and observing the parade from a wheelchair.
That evening, he was likely to watch his favorite team, the Atlanta Braves, on television as they battled for the top spot in the National League East, his grandson said.
Florida cops arrested a group of looters in a devastated section of Fort Myers Thursday, according to a local reporter.
Reporter Gage Goulding of NBC 2 tweeted out a video of five young suspects seated in handcuffs in the stricken city’s beach area.
“Sheriff’s deputies told me Thursday afternoon these people were arrested for looting on Fort Myers Beach,” Goulding tweeted.
Local officials warned of the potential for looting after Hurricane Ian tore through the area and left countless buildings battered and exposed.
Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno issued a stiff warning to would-be thieves this week as the Category 4 storm made landfall in his jurisdiction.

Emilee Carpenter is a gifted photographer whose lavish images celebrate all kinds of people — Christian, Jewish, black, white, straight, gay and everything in between. She aims her lens at clients without fear or prejudice — with one notable exception.
She refuses to take pictures of same-sex weddings. That’s non-negotiable. And it could cost her — big time.
“I serve everyone, including those who identify as LGBT. But I now face threats of up to $100,000 in fines, a revoked business license and even jail time simply because of my Christian beliefs about marriage,’’ Carpenter, who lives and works near upstate Elmira, said this week.
On Friday Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) warned would-be looters that they would be risking their lives by trying to enter the homes of Ian victims, saying, “We’re a Second Amendment state.”
FOX News quoted DeSantis saying, “I can tell you in the state of Florida, you never know what may be lurking behind somebody’s home. And I would not want to chance that if I were you — given that we’re a Second Amendment state.”
During a press conference in Fort Myers, DeSantis said, “We are a law and order state, and this is a law and order community.
Oh, Boy, a Hurricane!

Like Pavlov’s dogs, when liberals saw a hurricane heading towards Florida, their immediate reaction was, slobber slobber drool drool. “Man made climate change caused this hurricane!” A few weeks ago, I wrote about the Weather’s Channel’s report that August had no hurricanes at all. Unusual, but not unknown. That fact produced no rush to deny MMCC (“man-made climate change”). The lack of hurricanes doesn’t disprove MMCC, one big hurricane, though, does prove it. No scientific evidence (other than the hurricane) is offered, just sheer demagoguery by psychopaths. “When in trouble, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.” And people will listen to you,
Reagan's Example

Simi Valley, California -- "I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph and there is purpose and worth to each and every life."
Those words from the late President Ronald Reagan appear above where he and his beloved Nancy's earthly remains rest here at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. Visiting before the National Review Institute's annual Buckley Prize dinner, I unexpectedly found these words a little jarring. What leading politician believes such things anymore?
At the groundbreaking of the library, Reagan said: "The journey has not just been my own.
Wake up and smell the coffee. Can’t you see what’s happening in our country? We elected you to do precisely the opposite of what you are doing.
Your priorities should be God, country, community, family, and self. In that exact order. I believe that’s what Tom and George and Ben and the guys that got together in 1776 decided that America was supposed to be. A country made-up of strong individuals, coming from different phases of life, working together to construct legislation that benefits everyone.
That is not the situation in our Congress, and you know it.
As a citizen, taxpayer, and voter in this country, I am a US government stockholder,
We’ve reported about how Joe Biden seems to be frequently lost, to not know where he’s going after he makes remarks; that frequently his wife has had to lead him off the stage. On Thursday, we saw him delivering remarks about Hurricane Ian from the FEMA headquarters. But at the end of the remarks (his wife wasn’t there), he suddenly turned off to his right and wandered off as the FEMA Director called after him and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas looked worried and surprised. The handlers had to chase after him and pull him out of the staff area.
Now, not only is he getting lost,
Michel Goldman, M.D., Ph.D., professor of Immunology and Pharmacotherapy at Belgium’s Université libre de Bruxelles, has come forward with his belief that a COVID-19 booster shot may have accelerated the growth of his cancer.
Goldman, a prominent advocate for vaccines in Europe, was driven to go public with his beliefs by his desire for open and honest discussion about the COVID-19 vaccines. He told The Atlantic that the Pfizer booster shot he received on September 22, 2021, appears to have accelerated the progression of his angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL).
After being diagnosed with AITL, Goldman, 67, believed it was the right thing to do to get the COVID booster
Queen Elizabeth II died of old age, according to her death certificate, released Thursday in Scotland. She was 96.
National Records of Scotland published the official cause in a death certificate registered Sept. 16. It was released by Registrar General for Scotland Paul Lowe.
Elizabeth died Sept. 8 at 3:10 p.m. local time at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, according to the death certificate. It's signed by her only daughter, Anne, princess royal.
Other members of the royal family, including Prince William, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, were still en route to Balmoral when the queen died.
Britain celebrated Elizabeth's 70 years on the throne in early June.
What was once deemed as “misinformation” by the Biden administration another study has confirmed the implications the Covid-19 vaccines have on women’s health.
A large study conducted by the National Institutes of Health found that women of childbearing age who got the Covid vaccine are at heightened risk of 14 different conditions including having a miscarriage, fertility issues, fetal cardiac arrest, and menstrual abnormality.
“Pregnancy and menstrual abnormalities are significantly more frequent following COVID-19 vaccinations than that of Influenza vaccinations. A worldwide moratorium on the use of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy is advised until randomized prospective trials document safety in pregnancy and long-term follow-up in offspring,”

BIirmingham, Alabama – Long-time Democratic political consultant James Carville says some wild things in American politics could be coming over the next two years.
During a talk, part of Alabama-based PARCA’s Speaker Series, held at the Red Mountain Theatre in Birmingham, Carville said he did not expect former President Donald Trump nor President Joe Biden to be on the 2024 presidential election ballot. “I don’t think Trump or Biden will be on the ballot in 2024,” he said. “I’m going to be 78 in less than a month. The country needs a generational change. I think they’re going to get it.”
New rumors are floating around about who could potentially be a running mate for former President Donald Trump should he finally announce his candidacy for the White House and cinch the GOP nomination. (Snip)
Folks have been wanting to see a ticket featuring Trump and Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, which, I fully admit, would be awesome, but there’s another individual (Snip)
According to the Conservative Brief, a series of recent reports have focused in on New York Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik as a potential political partner for Trump. There is a new article published in Foreign Policy called, “Elise Stefanik Is Most Likely to Succeed,” where the author says,
Should federal hurricane recovery aid be handed out based on need or based the race of the recipient?
According to Kamala Harris, the answer is 'race,' and here's the proof: Vice President Kamala Harris said Friday that aid distributed in the wake of natural disasters like Hurricane Ian should be “based on equity.”
“It is our lowest-income communities and communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and impacted by issues not of their own making—” Harris said before being interrupted by Priyanka Chopra Jonas
One of Atlanta’s newest city council members continues to break glass ceilings — even the ones that not many people know or care about. Liliana Bakhtiari’s bio on the Atlanta City Council website touts her remarkable (at least to the woke) accomplishments.
“Liliana is the first queer Muslim person to be elected in the state of Georgia, and the first nonbinary person elected in the city of Atlanta,” the bio states. “She identifies as gender fluid and uses ‘she/her’ and ‘they/them’ pronouns.”
(Keep the whole pronoun thing in your mind. It’ll come in handy later.)
Bakhtiari is the daughter of Iranian immigrants, which makes me think: I can’t imagine she’d be able
Members of a Vermont girls high school volleyball team have been banned from using their own locker room and now have to change in a single bathroom stall after they complained about a transgender teammate. Some teammates allege that the transgender player at Randolph Union High School made an 'inappropriate remark' to some of them while they were changing in the locker room. They now want the school to relocate the transgender player, who hasn't been named. No details of the alleged inappropriate remark have been shared. But Vermont's state law means that students can play sports and use the locker which correspond to the gender with which they identify.
The day after Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida, President Joe Biden issued his forecast: “This could be the deadliest hurricane in Florida’s history.” Was he hoping it would be? Or is he just ignorant of the history of hurricanes?
“The numbers are still unclear,” Biden said, “but we’re hearing early reports of what could be substantial loss of life.”
So far, the death toll in Florida from Ian is a little more than 20. That number will no doubt rise, but it is far short of the deadliest, and might be one of the least deadly hurricanes to hit that hurricane-prone state.
The deadliest record was set in

A campaign adviser to Florida governor Ron DeSantis accused Vice President Kamala Harris of causing “undue panic” with her suggestion that Hurricane Ian–relief aid should be distributed “based on equity.”
Harris said Friday that those in lower-income communities and people of color are “most impacted by these extreme conditions,” and “we are all thinking about the families in Florida and Puerto Rico with [Hurricane] Fiona and what we need to do to help them in terms of an immediate response and aid.”
Speaking during the Democratic National Committee’s Women’s Leadership Forum, she said: “We have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity,
It shouldn’t be shocking anymore to hear a woke political figure claim that men are capable of getting pregnant.
Actually, it has become a common, yet not true, statement to hear. Unfortunately, this is what America has come to.
While testifying at a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing called on by Democrats to discuss how restricting abortions can harm a woman’s life, a planned Parenthood physician Dr. Bhavik Kumar insisted that men can get pregnant and have babies.
“Men can have pregnancies, especially trans men,” Kumar claimed, answering a question asked by Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) asking if he believed biological men can get pregnant.
It's not just heating that could be missing across Europe this winter: cell phones may be the next to go. That's because if power cuts or energy rationing knocks out parts of the mobile networks across the region, mobile phones could go dark around Europe this winter according to the latest doomsday reporting from Reuters.While everyone knows by now that Europe's chances of rationing and power shortages have exploded ever since Moscow suspended gas supplies, in France, the situation is even worse as several nuclear power plants are shutting down for maintenance. And the cherry on top: telecom industry officials told Reuters they fear a severe winter will put Europe's

Florida Needs Illegal Immigrants to ‘Pick Crops’ 12 replies
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Friday spoke about illegal immigrants and claimed Florida farmers needed them to pick crops, but her remarks drew much criticism.
While speaking during a press conference, she did note the U.S. needed to secure the border, according to the New York Post.
“Right now, the best thing that we can do for our economy is to have comprehensive immigration reform,” Pelosi said: (Tweet/Video) “We have a shortage of workers in our country and you see even in Florida some of the farmers and the growers saying, ‘Why are you shipping these immigrants up north?
President Joe Biden banned cameras from his bill signing on Friday to name a Veterans Affairs clinic in memory of late Rep. Jackie Walorski who died last month.
The move comes just two days after the president, 79, erroneously called out for Walorski at a speech in Washington on Wednesday.
White House officials stumbled to spin the latest of the president's gaffes in the immediate aftermath, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre saying that the Indiana congresswoman was just on the 'top' of Biden's mind because of the bill signing.

Low Levels’ as DOD Sends Weapons to Ukraine 12 replies
Bank of America analysts issued a report on Friday warning that America’s military support for Ukraine in the conflict with Russia has pushed United States military stockpiles to “dangerously low levels” not seen for decades. As part of $16.2 billion in support committed to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February, the Department of Defense (DoD) has sent approximately $8.4 billion worth of military equipment from its own weapons stockpiles through an authority known as “presidential drawdown.”(Snip)They forecasted that Raytheon Technologies (Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s employer before he become defense chief), Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics are best positioned to benefit from the demands, given their experience in producing
