Hurricane Relief Workers Forced to Evacuate Due to Threat of ‘Armed Militia’ UNREAL The U.S. Forest Service warned on Saturday that the National Guard had ‘come across x2 trucks of armed militia saying [they] were out hunting FEMA.’ by Will Neal Oct. 14, 2024 https://www.thedailybeast.com/hurricane-relief-officials-threatened-by-armed-militias-in-north-carolina?ref=home?ref=home “Government officials were forced to flee a North Carolina county amid reported threats of armed civilians out “hunting” for hurricane relief workers. On Saturday afternoon, the Washington Post reports a U.S. Forest Service official sent an email to several different federal agencies warning “National Guard troops had come across x2 trucks of armed militia saying [they] were out hunting FEMA,” the government body responsible for overseeing emergency response management. The message, which has been confirmed as authentic, added that incident management teams “have been notified and are coordinating the evacuation of all assigned personnel” in Rutherford County.” Make America Great Again.

Trump did it again. Absolute chaos' as 'MAGA faithful were stranded' in desert after California event: report By David McAfee October 13, 2024 https://www.rawstory.com/trump-fans-stranded-desert-rally/ "Donald Trump left his own followers, including elderly supporters, stranded in the desert after a rally in Southern California, according to reports. After the rally ended, Trump left the rallygoers stranded after only providing busses one way, according to the Tennessee Holler." The Tennessee Holler included a video from a purported Trump rallygoer who says it's "absolute chaos." "This isn't normal. Apparently the busses are no longer coming," the attendee says in the video. "It's just chaos, absolute chaos. All of us are stranded here. Everyone is stranded here." Steve Thomas

To anyone who says we should do away with FEMA, and let the States handle it, I say, look at how the State of Mississippi has handled the water problem in their own Capitol City of Jackson. Steve Thomas

So evil': Pro-Trump TV host calls immigrants 'satanic' and 'involved in human sacrifice' By Carl Gibson, October 12, 2024 https://www.rawstory.com/so-evil-pro-trump-thost-says-immigrants-are-satanic-and-involved-in-human-sacrifice/ “Prior to the rally in Aurora, Colorado, host Bobby McNeily of the Right Side Broadcasting Network — an openly pro-Trump outlet — prepped audiences by insisting that immigrants in Aurora were primarily affiliated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TDA), calling them "so evil." He went on to baselessly conflate the gang members with other Aurora migrants, suggesting they were pedophiles and even that they were participants in occult practices. These people, they are are so evil. They are not your run of the mill criminal. They are people that are satanic. They are involved in human sacrifice," he said. "They are raping men, women, and children — especially underaged children.”” Well, what should I do today? There's not much going on. Think I'll just go whip up a mob. Go down to the Home Depot and pick up a bunch of torches and pitchforks. Steve Thomas

On October 11, 2024, Donald Trump announced that upon taking office, he will invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. According to The Brennan Center for Justice, "The Alien Enemies Act discriminates against immigrants based on their country of citizenship and, more broadly, based on their ancestry." https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/alien-enemies-act-explained This was the law that we used to intern Japanese citizens in WWII. Willamette University historian Seth Cotlar posted to his Bluesky account. "The Alien & Sedition Acts of 1798 also authorized the gov't to lock up journalists, so that's on brand too."The law would allow Trump to target journalists. According to the National Archives, the law Trump invoked would make it a crime to "write, print, utter or publish" anything "false, scandalous and malicious writing or writings against the government of the United States." And any violations could be punished with a fine of $2,000 and a prison sentence of up to two years. https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-twitter-2669383345/ Steve Thomas

Since FEMA is diverting money to murderous migrants with bad genes, Donald Trump offers hurricane relief: Steve Thomas

"Free" Starlink service for hurricane survivors costs $349 up front By Gail Sherman Thu Oct 10, 2024 https://boingboing.net/2024/10/10/free-starlink-service-for-hurricane-survivors-costs-349-up-front.html “After the widespread connectivity issues in areas devastated by Hurricane Helene, Elon Musk announced that SpaceX would provide free Starlink access to affected areas. SpaceX is crediting thirty days of free access to people who already own Starlink hardware. That's great, but for anyone who doesn't already own a Starlink kit, it will cost $349 to access the free service. The fine print on the Starlink site reads: For those in areas affected by Hurricane Helene, Starlink is available and temporarily offering free service for the first month. Please note: A Starlink kit is required to access this free service. If you do not already have a Starlink kit, you will need to purchase one from starlink.com/residential or an authorized retailer such as Best Buy or Home Depot.” Such a deal I have for you.

Meteorologists Getting Death Threats Over Hurricane Milton Conspiracies by David Gardner October 10, 2024 https://www.thedailybeast.com/meteorologists-getting-death-threats-over-hurricane-milton-conspiracies?ref=home?ref=home “After receiving a threatening message, another leading meteorologist Katie Nickolaou said she tweeted: “Murdering meteorologists won’t stop hurricanes.

- a Trump supporter - "If you ask it (Amazon's Alexa) about [Hurricane Helene], it'll tell you the government actively used seed clouding," she insisted. "If you're looking at where the hurricane's going, it's a lot of red states." "If you're looking at the counties in North Carolina that were hit, there were all of them, 26 out of 28 of those counties were for Trump," she added. Damn guv'ment and their seed clouding. Steve Thomas

- Alex Jones - "Then we have the bold headlines that I put up on X that the Kamala Harris, you know, the Biden-Harris administration is in control of this hurricane," he said of Hurricane Milton. "So they have the power certified easily with just five or six big aircraft," he opined. "And that's the old technology, not the lasers that are all certified and the Doppler radar. They also have on ships and in large oil drilling platforms that they've launched. They could totally just make this thing stop and dump the water in the ocean." Why is this guy still on the air? Steve Thomas

I'm really pissed that the government is sending money to hurricane relief victims instead of cat-eating migrants with bad genes. Steve Thomas

HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 203 (By Delegates Ridenour, Mazzocchi, Dillon, Longanacre, Coop-Gonzalez, Foster, Foggin, and Steele) [Introduced October 6, 2024; referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.] Requesting that the West Virginia Legislature shall not recognize an illegitimate presidential election. https://www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Status/bills_text.cfm?billdoc=hcr203%20intr.htm&yr=2024&sesstype=2X&i=203&houseorig=h&billtype=cr Whereas, the Constitutions of the United States and the State of West Virginia require that only legal citizens may vote in U.S. and West Virginia elections, and that there is abundant evidence that non-citizens have been and are being registered to vote in the national election of 2024; therefore, be it Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia: That, the sovereign State of West Virginia declares it will not recognize an election for President if such election is enabled by illegal or fraudulent acts; and be it Further Resolved, That, the State of West Virginia will not recognize any election of the Democrat candidate for President during the 2024 election cycle if the Republican presidential or vice-presidential candidate is assassinated, seriously injured during an assassination attempt, incarcerated, de facto eliminated or barred from the ballot in any states, or is the subject of legal actions that preclude their effective campaigning; and be it Further Resolved, That, the State of West Virginia will not recognize an election of a candidate for President during the 2024 election cycle if the Attorney General of West Virginia or the Secretary of State of West Virginia, in consultation with the West Virginia Legislature, determine that election fraud in any state was a major reason that resulted in a candidate for President obtaining a majority in the Electoral College. Election fraud includes non-citizen voting, vote buying, ballot forgery, illegal or illicit ballot harvesting, illegal or illicit discarding of legal votes or voter registrations, ballot miscounts, algorithmic manipulation of votes or vote tabulations,...

For instance, the @HarrisHQ account juxtaposed the complaint by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who said, "Not only are Hurricane Helene victims only given an insulting measly $750 and being left stranded, the U.S. government is giving $1 BILLION to Ukraine every single month to fund the Ukrainian government." Greene, wrote @HarrisHQ, "voted against FEMA funding two weeks ago." Other Republicans making similar complaints who also voted against FEMA funding include Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), and Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Tim Burchett (R-TN), Mike Collins and Andrew Clyde (R-GA), and Byron Donalds (R-FL). House Speaker, Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back from recess in order to pass a supplemental funding bill for FEMA. Steve Thomas

Republicans Who Voted Against FEMA Funding Now Face Hurricane Milton Threat Oct 07, 2024 https://www.newsweek.com/hurricane-milton-republicans-voted-against-fema-funding-storm-path-florida-1965181 "Milton is forecast to hit Florida's western coast, then move across the state's peninsula before exiting on the eastern coast into the Atlantic Ocean by Thursday. The districts of several Republicans who voted against the continuing resolution are in the path of the storm, including Representatives Daniel Webster, Gus Bilirakis, Laurel Lee, Anna Paulina Luna, Cory Mills and Bill Posey. Others, like Representative Byron Donalds, aren't in the direct path but will likely experience some of the widespread effects of the storm, such as strong wind and heavy rain. Steve Thomas

- Donald Trump on undocumented immigrants 10/07/24 - ""Many of them murdered far more than one person," Trump declared. "A murderer, I believe this, it's in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now." Eugenics anyone? Bring Out the Purebloods! Damn Muggles. Steve Thomas

- Donald Trump, at a rally in Wisconsin, October 6, 2024 - "Is there anybody here who's going to vote for lyin' Kamala?" Trump asked his rally attendees. "Actually, I should say don't raise your hand, it would be very dangerous. We don't want to see anybody get hurt. Please don't raise your hand." Here come the Brownshirts. Steve Thomas

I think I read one time that JFK's assassination was the first time in American Presidential assassination history, that the President was taken out by long guns. In every other Presidential assassination attempt, the assassin used a pistol - up close and personal. No, this was an assination by snipers, and that's where one should look - at people trained as snipers. Perhaps at Fort Benning. It involved military precision with enfilade and triangulation of fire. I have always felt that the first shot, described by many as a crack, rather than a boom, was fired by a lower caliber gun - perhaps a .22. I live out in the country where there are many hunters sighting in their rifles in preparation for deer season. You can tell the difference between the crack of a .22 and the boom of a 30.06.

They were traitors:’ Republican slams Trump for 'despicable and disgusting' promise by Erik De La Garza October 4, 2024 "… Trump, while at a rally in the crucial battleground state of North Carolina, repeatedly incited his crowd by insisting that the state’s Army installation Fort Liberty would be changed back to Fort Bragg if he wins the 2024 election next month.” “Should we change the name from Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg?” the former president asked rallygoers. “Right? So, here’s what we do – we get elected – I’m doing it, I’m doing it. I’m doing it. And we’re leading in all the polls we should win, but remember this: they cheat like hell.” The crowd later booed an active duty soldier who was selected to ask Trump a question when he said he was stationed “here at Fort Liberty.” I was thinking of the jarhead, who was parading the Confederate flag through the Capitol on January 6th. I hate to tell you this, but if you're going to tie yourself to the Confederacy, you've just lost 2/3 of the population. It's a good thing he said this in North Carolina. (especially Bragg. He was about the worst general the Confederates had). Steve Thomas

Oklahoma is accepting bids to supply its Department of Education with 55,000 Bibles for all the public schools in the State, but vendors can only find two versions that meet all the statutory requirements The bid documents show that Bibles must be the King James version, contain both the Old and New Testaments, be bound in leather or leather-like material, and include copies of the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, but vendors are suspicious of the requirements, reported The Oklahoman. Guess who is the only vendor in the world... in the world who meets those statutory requirements.? Steve Thomas
