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. “There’s going to be a lot of damage from this storm. There will be a lot of opportunities to take advantage,” the Republican governor said in a press conference from Tallahassee Wednesday morning. “Don’t even think about it. We’re going to come down hard on you, and you’ll regret that you did that,” DeSantis said in his sternly issued warning to would-be looters. To help enforce the promised crackdown on would-be looters,

Sixty or so years ago, the rule was simply to shoot all looters. The polices' duty was/is to rescue people at time of disaster.

Every state should have shoot the looters gun laws, especially in times of emergency and crisis. Scum that would loot should be shot on sight.

Our original 48 states have had some great governors, but since I've been on this planet, Ron DeSantis is by far the best governor in both the 20th and the 21st Century.

#4, there were a lot of those around here in south Mississippi after 2005's Katrina. I found that the storm, like when someone dies, brings out the true nature of people..... mostly good, but some bad.

Sounds like a win-win. Looters are stopped and the welfare rolls go down, too.

Kamala’s ‘Charm’ Blitzkrieg Fails Miserably 0 replies
Posted by ladydawgfan 10/10/2024 9:31:13 PM Post Reply
There are some people so incompetent that they could blow a tap-in putt. “Hand me the wedge,” they say as they overlook a 2-inch gap. You can’t help these people, even though they are likely the most in need of saving anyone, because you can’t save people from themselves. This, I suspect, is why the handlers of Kamala Harris have chosen to run the campaign they have. Hiding is the only defense against incompetence. The only problem is that no matter where you hide, there you are. A person can escape a lot, themselves is not one of them. After two months of hiding not working,

I had a friend who worked for a polling company tell me polls are not meant to learn what people think; they are created to tell people what to think. I have accurately predicted every presidential race since 2004 except 2020, when I hit a "wrinkle." I did this by counting campaign signs and attributing value amounts based on the size. I traveled the country, specifically Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, counting signs. Most importantly, I would stand on a stage in front of groups of people and ask them who they wanted to win. And they always told me.

On Thursday during a speech at the Detroit Economic Club, Donald Trump announced his intention to make interest on car loans fully tax-deductible if he's elected. "Today, I am announcing that as part of our tax cuts, we will make interest on car loans fully deductible," he said. In a classic Trump fashion, he connected with the auto industry professionals in the room, noting that the idea even impressed industry veterans. “I met a lot of them backstage,” Trump recounted. According to Trump, one longtime auto industry professional told him, “I’ve been in the car industry all my life. I’ve never thought about that.”

On Wednesday's entertaining episode of ABC's "The View," co-host Joy Behar — with zero evidence — accused former President Donald Trump of treason, a crime punishable by death. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg kicked up the idiocy a notch by demanding that Trump and critics of the idiotic show leave the U.S. to live under a dictatorship. Yeah, we're not exactly talking about Mensa-level mentality here. Their beyond-absurd segment was triggered by unverified claims made by former journalist and author Bob Woodward, who alleged in a new book that Trump sent COVID-19 test kits to Russia's Vladimir Putin.

Vice President Kamala Harris is so spectacularly bad at what she does that reporting on it may sometimes come across as a "dog bites man" thing, where you know the outcome of it well in advance. But because she's in a position of great power and wants one that has even more power, these things have to be documented if for no other reason than to let the record show that this is what she tried to do and this is how it turned out - with her chalking up another massive and embarrassing "L." The latest example happened Wednesday as Hurricane Milton was making landfall in Florida.

Disneyland in California is hiking its ticket prices for its high-demand days on the tail of reports that Disney’s parks are seeing looming financial loss. The Anaheim-based park will keep its entry-level ticket price of $104 a person, but tickets based on demand will rise between $7 and $12, which is up to a 6.5 percent increase, according to CNBC. The park’s Magic Key annual pass is also going up, increasing between six percent and 20 percent — or between 100 and 125 dollars — depending on the pass. The hikes come after reports that Disney shares dropped more than two percent early this month

What good is this woman? Kamala Harris is doing interviews for The Weather Channel. The real question is why? Because the vice president—I don’t care who it is—has no business chiming on this network. That point goes doubly so when nothing of substance is spewed on air. Harris is trying to sell an image that she’s a capable leader in a crisis. Sorry, lady, that ship has long sailed. It’s a sunken ship ever since you played a part in covering up Joe Biden’s mental decline. You were a leader in a crisis—but you played the part of the villainess.

Lebanese terror outfit Hezbollah has changed its tune: After spending weeks trumpeting an apocalyptic end for Israel, the cadre of bloodthirsty cowards is begging the Jewish state to let up. “We support the political efforts led by [Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih] Berri under the banner of achieving a cease-fire,” whined Hezbollah deputy leader Naim Qassem — for the first time not conditioning a truce on an end to the war in Gaza.

It captures the baffling arrogance of Mr. Biden, who has never done anything remotely significant to earn such a demeanor.

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. CBS didn’t just shape or modify the interview; they literally moved answers to questions.

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.
