You can only hold outdoor rallies if you have thousands of people attending.

People need to prepare themselves. The Regime is going to do something between now and November. They are desperate.

And in between the election and January it will get even worse. Expect them to claim Kamala got 60 million votes on election day and magically 30+ million in the week after the election, mostly in Madison/Milwaukee Detroit and Philadelphia.

All of the illegal immigrants they have imported are having ballots mailed in for them right now.

They will not give up power without a fight.

When does Trump begins his lies about FEMA and the federal response to Hurricane Helene??

Peachy ayon kay ...

Bich - Do you get your BS talking points from the D-NBC pez dispenser?
Trump's anger is just a mirror of America's anger. A righteous anger at the greed, neglect, ineptitude and corruption - given to us in non-stop giant soup ladles over the last 4 years... by the corrupt democrat party and their loyal paid pals in the corrupt MSM.

So do I believe you about Trump’s alleged “lies,” or do I believe the people on the ground in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee? I note that you never tell us what you assert that Trump says and how what he says is a deliberate falsehood, so it follows that probably (Occam’s Razor) you are the one spreading lies.

“According to former President Donald Trump, the federal government is intentionally withholding aid to Republican disaster victims. Far-right extremist groups warn on social media that officials plan to bulldoze affected communities and seize the land from residents. A tale straight from science fiction asserts that Washington used weather control technology to steer Helene toward Republican voters in order to tilt the presidential election toward Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

The claims, according to experts and local officials dealing with disaster response, say less about the reality of the widespread damage from Helene than they do about America’s fractured politics and the fear and distrust shadowing an election year marked by assassination attempts and escalating global tension.

State and local officials from both parties have condemned the conspiracy theories as rumors, saying the focus should be on recovery, not political division and hearsay. Responding to the hoaxes is taking up time that should go toward assisting victims, said North Carolina state Sen. Kevin Corbin, a Republican who urged his constituents not to give into hoaxes.

“Friends can I ask a small favor?” Corbin posted Thursday on Facebook. “Will you all help STOP this conspiracy theory junk that is floating all over Facebook and the internet… Please don’t let these crazy stories consume you.

wildswan ayon kay ...

I don't thinkthe regime will have illegals voting in the big cities. It has stashed thousands upon thousands in small towns like the 20,000 in Springfield, Ohio which is the voter registration center for Clark County. They, of course, cannot legally vote. So that ballot harvesting among these unknown thousands cannot legally happen. That's fortunate because if it did it would overwhelm the legal voters in fairly tight races in swing states. The DOJ/FBI under Merrick Garland can be trusted ultimtely to detect and prevent such activities. It's lucky we don't live in a banana republic because I think the rotten elite of such a republic would not resist the temptation to have peon "voters" rather than citizens monitoring their corruption.

Inga ayon kay ...

Emergency officials responding to the Hurricane Helene disaster in Western North Carolina say false rumors on social media are impeding their efforts to help tens of thousands of people in need.

“False information is being widely shared on social media channels, including AI-generated content and images,” N.C. Department of Public Safety officials said in a statement. ”Nefarious actors and those with ill intent may be taking advantage of this situation by spreading false information.”

Ah the new PBS/Inga trick of inflating the complaints and calling it crazy conspiracy theories. Maybe a citation as to "officials plan to bulldoze affected communities and seize the land from residents." Or "Washington used weather control technology to steer Helene toward Republican voters". I haven't heard those complaints until PBS published them and Inga fell for it.

Facts: the Biden Administration had over a week's notice that Hurricane Helene was coming and would stall over the southern Appalachian Mountains. Biden and DHS Secretary Mayorkas said all available aid was sent to the region. DHS Secretary Mayorkas said no more could be sent because they were out of money. FEMA claims it is disinformation to say they are out of money. FAA put a NOTAM Temporary Flight Restriction over Western North Carolina allowing only approved "Medivac" flights despite few if any "approved" operators flying in that region. Private helicopter pilots and STOL bush pilots were providing aid and rescue until they were told they could not fly into the area to provide aid and rescue. DOT Secretary Buttigieg claimed it was disinformation that flights were restricted. Death toll for Hurricane Helene is now 227 and climbing.

Inga: Those wild stories are a red herring. My nephew and a friend of mine are on the ground in western North Carolina as members of search-and-rescue and cleanup crews, and there is considerable dysfunction on the part of federal "leadership." The media covered this sort of thing nonstop in the aftermath of Katrina. But now we have the totally objective PBS Newshour taking passing notice of "an election year marked by assassination attempts." Leaves me wondering who was the target. Guess we'll never know.

I suspect that the stories about emininent domain in Chimney Rock is a conspiracy theory. It is not even that significant a source of lithium in the US, much less in the world.

But,

I remember that in 1982 PanAm flight 759 in Kenner LA (on takeoff from New Orleans) ploughed into a residential neighborhood destroyed dozens of houses and killed 8 on the ground plus everyone aboard.

The next day, the city condemned the damaged houses and started bulldozing them without allowing people to remove their belongings. The city said it was going to seize the now vacant land under eminent domain but backed off after protests.

In the 90s New London CT seized a bunch of land and houses under eminent domain for Pfizer. This became the Kelo case.

In other words, if govt did seize Chimney Rock, there would be precedent. And the govt, especially in the past 20 years or so, has proven themselves to be more and more fascist. It would not greatly surprise me if they tried (state or feds or both) to seize the land.

Again, I tend not to buy into the theory.

There is no question about Joe Biden. He’s been sent packing because his addled brain was a liability for Democrat Incorporated. Trump is in impressive form and according to Politico and the Times working three times harder than Harris. Get back to me when your candidate can hold even one event without busing in a fake crowd to fake cheer for her fake positions delivered in a fake accent. Y’all are still too slow to realize Trump’s originality is one of his greatest strengths.

Mike (MJB Wolf) ayon kay ...

Ten thousand active duty military logistics specialists were pre-staged for Katrina, able to spring into action as soon as the storm struck, not counting the carrier fleet offshore with a dozen medical ships and thousands of helicopters. This administration did no preparation and took almost a week to activate a measly 1000 Army members, only half of which have been deployed to assist FEMA. The Feds always take a week to show up. This is worse than usual because FEMA spent all their training time on DEI bullshit. Does it really matter if their obvious incompetence is due to benign neglect or partisan apathy? Americans are hurting and in need and neither Biden nor Harris is engaged enough to make a difference. Joe has complained more about Trump insulting him than about FEMA’s shitty slow-walking incompetence.

Of course our resident dipstick is going to white knight for the indefensible. That’s all that leftists have now. Weak attempts to defend the indefensible.

“House speaker Mike Johnson has signaled that supplemental funding would come from Congress, but that the body would not convene immediately to pass it. He predicted more funding would come after election day, when Congress returns from its recess, Politico reported, and that “it will take some time to tabulate” the extent of the damage.

Other Republicans have suggested that Fema has enough funding.

“It provides for up to $20bn and we’re not going to run out of money to respond to natural disasters. They didn’t add money, but we can use it faster, and it resolves any concerns I have,” Senator John Kennedy, a hard-right Republican from Louisiana and a member of the Senate appropriations committee, told the Hill. “We’ll talk about it in December, particularly if we keep having natural disasters.”

Before her testimony I was unsure. After her testimony and Kavanugh’s testimony, I believed her. Kavanugh behaved as if he got caught and was enraged and he looked like he felt entitled to sit on the Supreme Court because he was a good boy( ha). He lied about the meanings of boof, devils triangle and the meaning of Renate alumnius, why? His over the top anger and self pitying tears were very very odd. Ford’s demeanor, while appearing frightened, seemed more credible. She had the names of the people who were at the house correct. What reason would she have to lie, unless you believe in some grand Democratic conspiracy.

“It appears unlikely Congress will return early, with lawmakers spread across the country campaigning ahead of November and GOP leaders saying the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding included in last week’s stopgap spending bill is sufficient to address Helene.

“Congress has previously provided the funds it needs to respond, so we will make sure that those resources are appropriately allocated,” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Tuesday.

And House Appropriations Committee Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said this week the funding legislation Congress passed has ensured FEMA “has sufficient resources in the near term.”

So tell me Achilles, how is it mathematically possible to manufacture 15 million plus (I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming by "mostly" means 50% +1) votes in the cities you open. The combined population of those cities is around 3.1 million. I would really like to see your math (oh, and while you are at it, please provide the math that says it is "mathematically impossible" for Biden to have received 81 million votes.

This reminds me of Michael K claiming that 3 million illegals voted for Hillary in Los Angeles alone. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he meant the Los Angeles area, not L.A. itself (because that would mean almost every person living in L.A. is here illegally). But even if that were true, that would mean every single foreign-born person (people under 18 included) in the L.A. area are undocumented and they all voted for Clinton.

Well, read the article closely, he did not have "direct contact with FEMA". He had a direct contact with a "logistics officer" at the Fire Department, he did not say who she worked for. Regardless, he should have checked with the local authorities before he drove all that way with 10 "vics" (Whatever the hell a "vic" is) of supplies.

Have you ever been in or responded to a major disaster? It can get very confusing and accepting donations that have not been coordinated can cause major logistical problems. I also saw that he took generators with him. Might be a good idea if gasoline is readily available, which I highly doubt.

Disgraced Fraud Myorkas is RECORDED saying "we do not have the funds to make it through the hurricane season."

And how does that prove that they don't have the funds for Helene relief? Hurricane season extends through the end of November. Myorkas stated he was worried he would run out of disaster relief money before the end of Hurricane Season and said that it was likely there would be more hurricanes by then. And lo and behold Milton is headed to Tampa, and will probably be a Cat 3 at landfall.

Christopher B ayon kay ...

Without commenting on the accuracy of this specific report, seizing the land would likely save the state and federal government millions in assistance and especially infrastructure rebuilding costs versus allowing people to rebuild in the same areas.

I lived through the massive 2008 flooding in Cedar Rapids Iowa. Portions of residential neighborhoods in the flood area were cleared and turned into greenbelt areas rather than rebuilt. I don't know what compensation was given to the affected homeowners at that time.

Flood rebuild assistance can be a catch-22. In most cases you are given a fixed sum but then required to repair the structure *even if the funding does not cover the complete repair cost*. You can't use the money to tear down the damaged structure and rebuild something different.

Obama 2008 got 65 million votes and outperformed Joe 2020 in thousands of counties.

Joe Got 81 million votes in 2020 and outperformed Obama in only a few hundred counties where they counted ballots for days after the election.

Joe Biden somehow got 25 million more votes in a few hundred counties than Obama got in 2008 but got fewer than Obama in thousands of others. Most of them mail in and obviously fraudulent.

You are too stupid to figure out how impossible that is. Nobody cares about you idiots anymore. Nobody believes you.

Your memory is pretty shitty. If I had the time or inclination, I would dig back and find the exact quote.

Regardless, your current post will do just fine. You are still arguing that 3 million illegals voting in CA for Hillary Clinton. Now you have expanded the illegal voting to the entire state. Under your theory, that would still mean every single undocumented person (including those who would be ineligible to vote even if they were citizens, e.g. children and currently incarcerated people) not only illegally voted, but every single one of those votes was cast for Clinton.

Peachy ayon kay ...

Did you forget about the person shot and killed? I guess so. Easy to do as a dedicated democratical.

Here's the difference. Reagan was shot. The bullet barley missed his heart which would have killed him. Reagan was in the hospital for 12 days before being released. No one said that the Dems, CIA, FBI, DOJ, Secret Service, deep state were trying to kill Reagan. Trump was shot in the ear. They put a BandAid on his ear. I cut my finger this afternoon chopping an onion and I bled more than Trump did. But Trump's injury was alleged by his supporters as being a conspiracy by the Harris campaign, CIA, FBI, Secret Service, DOJ, etc. to assassinate him. Balderdash.

Freder Frederson ayon kay ...

I already gave you the math Freder.

A couple of unsupported statements, including your claim that most of the mail-in ballots were "obviously fraudulent" is not math.

You didn't give me shit.

A couple days ago you said mathematical regression analysis proved that Biden could not have gotten 81 million votes. You said you would provide the math, but I was too stupid to understand it. So, show me the math (the accuracy of your independent variables, and the sheer number, should be very interesting).

You ignored the obvious truth in my comment.

Joe Biden got 25 million more votes than Barrack Obama in a few hundred counties.

He got less votes than Obama in thousands of counties.

You are a subliterate moron. Joe Biden did not have 81 million voters. Period.

You can see just how dangerous the inept response to the Carolina flooding disaster is to the Democrats. It is apparently an "All Hands on Deck" response in on-line forums- all while the national media try giving the story a "good leaving alone."

tastid212 ayon kay ...

Jeez, this post has really lit up the commentariat! It reaffirms what I and others have noticed before, that the Dems/libs/progressives can't address Trump objectively. Example: Linda Greenhouse (former NYT legal reporter, Supreme Court opinion writer, Blackmun biographer) has really interesting things to say about the Supreme Court, the media's professed objectivity and its desire for clicks, and the filibuster and the removal of the filibuster for judicial matters (which she sort of blames on McConnell, not Reid). But when it comes to questions about Trump and Dobbs, she completely abandons facts and specifics. Then it's all "lies". And like her, many people will vote for Harris solely because Trump is "crazy", and abortion is being decided by states rather than the federal government. Talk about a college-educated, low-information electorate.

COTTON STATEMENT ON VIOLENCE AT CAPITOL
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Caroline Tabler or James Arnold (202) 224-2353

January 6, 2021



Cotton Statement on Violence at Capitol


Washington, D.C. — Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) released the following statement after violence broke out at the U.S. Capitol earlier today:



“Last summer, as insurrection gripped the streets, I called to send in the troops if necessary to restore order. Today, insurrectionists occupied our Capitol. Fortunately, the Capitol Police and other law-enforcement agencies restored order without the need for federal troops. But the principle remains the same: no quarter for insurrectionists. Those who attacked the Capitol today should face the full extent of federal law.



It’s past time for the president to accept the results of the election, quit misleading the American people, and repudiate mob violence. And the senators and representatives who fanned the flames by encouraging the president and leading their supporters to believe that their objections could reverse the election results should withdraw those objections. In any event, the Congress will complete its constitutional responsibilities tonight.”https://www.cotton.senate.gov/news/press-releases/cotton-statement-on-violence-at-capitol

Just a twinge of conscience..
Then, like the rest of the GOP congress, Cotton had to remove his principles and place them in the freezer at Mara Lago. This defines MAGA politicians. Like it or not, this is today’s GOP.

You mean when you lie, Tim?

Do any of Tampon Timmy's "misspeaks" make him look bad if they're taken at face value? If all his "misspeaks" are going in only one direction, well you'd have to be an idiot or a Democrat (BIRM) to not know what that means.

Abacus Boy, LLR-democratical Rich positioned himself as a business financial whiz kid who had literally "been in the room" when bigtime business decisions had been made at unspecified companies.

LLR-democratical Rich was pushing that storyline in parallel with his moronic cut and paste attacks on Elon Musk's business acumen.

However, over time it became quite clear LLR-democratical Rich was a buffoon, like gadfly, pretending to know things but getting so many fundamentals hilariously wrong that I nicknamed him Abacus Boy...a child sliding little plastic disks back and forth with zero understanding.

Of course, Frder could have asked where ilthe nickname came from but he is far too busy falsely accusing me of threatening and/or wishing violence against lefty posters at Althouse blog. When challenged to produce evience of such a comment, which Freder claimed were great in number, he failed to find any.

So what did Field Marshall Freder do then? LOL. He went Full Inga, declared it to be true anyway AND that I would be doing it again in the very near future!

Beyond amusing!

LLR--democratical Rich and the other lefty drones keep relaunching 2016/2021 "stuff" as if no onther information about events, actions taken, decisions made, evidence hidden, corruption exposed, policy results, and impacts on citizens etc hasnt occurred!

LOL

That tells everyone all the need to know about how circumstances are vuewed today by the general electorate.

Will the cheat machine the New Soviet Democraticals have crafted and built over decades be sufficient again to install their candidate and complete the transition of the American Republic to Venezuela status?

I think probably so....so efforts have to be doubled and tripled in this last stand to try and stop this runaway marxist train.

I don't want anyone to kill Trump, just like I don't want anyone to kill you. But it's one thing to have a bullet barley miss your heart and then spend 12 days in a hospital not knowing if you are going to live or die, from having a cut on your ear and putting a band aide on it. These are significant differences. Trump was in no more serious danger of injury than when I cut my finger this afternoon chopping an onion. Yes, it bled for a few minutes, but that was it.

If it were "literally the middle of hurricane season" it would be noon on August 31st (91.5 days past out of 183), but it's past nightfall on October 6th, more than 5 weeks later and 69.85% of the way through the season. More than two-thirds of the way through the season seems "late in the season" to me. Next time, check your arithmetic before posting, and try not to say "literally" when you mean "figuratively".

I am supposed to be on self-imposed gag order here until after the election, but this little ditty is really getting to me.

Trump escaped death by a couple of centimeters. You think it matters whether he was hospitalized for the near miss?

Let me ask you - as, was it Yancey Ward above? asked you: when you sliced your hand the other day cutting an onion, was it your intent to kill yourself while getting your mise en place together? And not only dumb luck that you failed in your attempt, but no big deal that it was your intent to kill yourself in the first place?

I would have broken my pre-election silence for this if Harris had been the target, just to be clear. Lonejustice, don't be an ass. You didn't have to say this. You could have let it lie. We all know Trump wasn't seriously injured - that in no way erases the intent of the shooter.
