Georgia Gov. Kemp has suspended the state gas tax (temporarily) in an effort to help with the state’s hurricane recovery.
It’s amazing the resources a competent state executive can bring to bear on behalf of its citizens when a state is managed well and running within its budget.
1. On the first of October, it was 111 degrees here in Tempe AZ. Amazingly enough it really didn’t feel so hot. And this evening is lovely.
2. Melania’s book was #1 on Amazon’s best seller list for a few days and is now #11. Yahoo News says the Trumps may be buying copies. Always possible. Poor Bill Gates is at 53,197. Bill Gate’s book is a heftier book - it weighs in at 1.45 pounds. Melania is a slender 1.16 pounds.
If all goes according to plan, I'll be back here on 13 or 14 October. Please don't solve all the world's problems while I'm gone.
Rachmaninoff piano concerto 2 played by Koreans, not remarkable (you could remark that Western culture is being preserved by East Asians) except that everybody has black hair, unusual picture for an orchestra.
The first violinist has tinted slightly red though.
Let's please remember that hundreds of thousands of people in North and South Carolina are still without power. Over a thousand people are unaccounted for and missing. There are NO FEMA TRUCKS anywhere in any of these communities and you can tell by looking at the photos from citizens on Twitter. FEMA is NOWHERE to be found. These people need our prayers because they have ZERO help from Walz or Harris.
Ths is from a non-political blog, by a very successful author who usually blogs about the craft of writing — how to get published, how I did publishing works, how to evaluate voice talent for audiobooks, etc. But her husband has family in Western North Carolina and that led to this set of observations:
Why didn’t people evacuate?
I see this question a lot, and I can tell you why. First, when WNC catches the tail end of a hurricane, it usually results in some flash floods and sometimes the power will be out. WNC is far inland. By the time the usual storms reach it, they lose steam, so buying supplies and waiting it out is usually sufficient. That’s why when Floridian evacuate, they go up north to north Georgia and North Carolina.
This is not the case of some stubborn coastal residents who know what hurricanes do because they get frequently hit. This has not happened in the last 40 years. By the time it became apparent just how bad the storm would hit, it was too late.
Second, a lot of people in that area simply have no place to go. It’s mountainous, roads are few, and you have livestock and pets involved. Roads in the mountains are not always safe. I-40 is the main artery in or out anwashed awayd it collapsed in the storm. The entire region is devastated.
I can add that I’ve seen pictures of parts of I-40 and I-26 that are gone — simply washed away. As of the last time I checked I-40 is closed from mile marker 3 to mile marker 435.
BOOM.

/1⚠️MISPLACED PRIORITIES —
Over the last 4 years the Biden-Harris admin has steadily transformed FEMA — the agency responsible for responding to natural disasters like Hurricane Helene — into an illegal alien resettlement agency that emphasizes DEI over public safety.
THREAD:
Read the whole thread here.....It is unbelievable, but it makes it real that they are importing illegals and giving them everything that the victims who are CITIZENS deserve. THESE people hate us. Wake the fuck up and vote for Trump or else YOU are telling us you are okay with illegals taking over.

I can’t make a definitive identification of these mushrooms without a look at the gills and a closer look at the stem. But i think they may be a choice edible Agaricus.

The female Al Sharpton with Trump hair is ignorant, but they are a DEI company and they have to hire ignorant black women obviously, that wouldn't be able to get hired elsewhere because of her psychotic hatred for a man who she never met.

NBC should be ashamed of itself for hiring her and the REAL Racist Al Sharpton, but then, it is a DEI company, and somebody has to hire these idiots.
Same temp here in Yuma but with 50% humidity. It's been the most miserable weather of the entire summer. The last gasp.
"Why is this one American’s voice so threatening to the old guard? It’s simple: President Trump is (1) a political outsider who (2) rejects the supremacy of the administrative state and (3) prioritizes Americans over foreign nationals.
It might seem strange to call Donald Trump an “outsider.” He’s a billionaire. He’s famous. He’s served as president of the United States. But for all his success, wealth, and celebrity, he is not a member of the ruling political class."

Inflation is down touts the Biden, Biden, and Harris administration. For some mysterious reason, crude prices are climbing (+$2.00 this morning). With the steady hand of Biden at the helm, peace will break out in the Middle East at any moment. Prices should then retreat.
The Lake Lure, NC fire chief has threatened to arrest helicopter pilots flying stranded Americans off cut off mountainous areas flooded by Hurricane Helene. Our country has CEASED functioning.

700 members of the Tennessee National Guard are about to be deployed to the Middle East. I do not see why that deployment can't be postponed for a month, because those people are needed right there, in eastern Tennessee.
See CDR Salamander for the explanation. He recalls a Veep episode.
The whole thread is here, on the ThreadReader app - and others, too, like the amazing story of 'how the illegal Haitians were made 'legal'.....
