Thanks to Most Merciful God

After the horrendous devastation that Hurricane Harvey wrought, Hurricane Irma bore down on Florida and the Gulf. While it was massive and caused great damage it could have been far, far worse had it not weakened substantially before it made landfall. Our dear friends who live in the area came through it and will recover in good time. Almighty God has answered our prayers and for that I am truly thankful.

Bannon: McConnell Told Trump to Cut Out the “Drain the Swamp” Stuff

Breitbart’s Steve Bannon went after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan during the 60 Minutes interview aired Sunday night, saying, “They do not want Donald Trump’s populist, nationalist economic agenda to be implemented.”

Ex-Hillary Adviser: Dems Must Double Down on ‘Identity Politics’

New York Times reporter Nick Confessore pointed out that it is impossible for Democrats to be a majority party “absent a coalition of a substantial number of working-class white voters.” He pointed out that every Democrat who was won the presidency, including former President Barack Obama, has won over working-class white voters in places like Macomb County, Michigan. Confessore said that if Democrats don’t appeal to these voters, they will continue to be a “minority party for years to come.”

UN Security Council Announces Unanimous Vote to Sanction North Korea

Monday, the United Nations Security Council voted unanimously to increase sanctions against North Korea after the rogue state’s latest nuclear weapons test.
GEORGE W. BUSH FOOLISHLY TRIED TO APPEASE DEMOCRATS BY GOING TO THE U.N. FOR 14 RESOLUTIONS TO SANCTION SADDAM. ALL THAT DID WAS GIVE HIM TIME TO SPIRIT HIS WMD OUT OF IRAQ AND INTO SYRIA. THE U.N. IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.

Judge orders Maryland bar to investigate lawyers who helped Clinton delete emails
WHEN A MEMBER OF THE CLINTON CRIMINAL SYNDICATE IS ACTUALLY INDICTED, LET ME KNOW, M’KAY?

Anne Arundel County Circuit Court Judge Paul F. Harris Jr. said the complaints lodged against David E. Kendall, Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson were egregious and the state bar couldn’t dismiss them as frivolous.

“There are allegations of destroying evidence,” Judge Harris said at a hearing Monday morning.

He said the state’s rules require the bar to conduct investigations no matter who raises the complaint and can’t brush aside accusations.

Trump’s Hurricane Rebuilding Job

A construction labor shortage will add costs and time to the recovery.
Older construction workers have left the workforce since the last housing boom. About a third moved to higher-paying industries such as energy and manufacturing. Fewer young men are pursuing the trades or a vocational education, and some can’t pass a drug test.

Sub-Chicago and America’s Real Crime Rate

Neighborhood, not citywide, crime data show how deadly some portions of American cities have become—especially Chicago’s West and South Sides.

During the 365-day period beginning June 7, 2016, Chicago had 711 first- and second-degree homicides. Of those, 556 (or 78.1 percent) occurred in just ten of the city’s police districts. Those districts—which are contiguous—constitute a geographical area almost half the city’s size and house 40.3 percent of the city’s nearly 2.7 million residents.

Professor tells students that right-wing terrorism more of a threat than Islamic terrorism
According to audio clips of her lectures originally posted on American’s e-learning software Blackboard over the summer and obtained by The College Fix, Professor Erin Kearns said Americans seem most afraid of Islamic terrorists, but that so-called right-wing extremists here have actually committed a higher number of attacks.

Hillary’s ‘What Happened’ Conveniently Ignores One Of The Campaign’s Biggest Scandals
“What Happened” conveniently ignores one of the election’s biggest scandals: then-Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile’s leaking of debate questions to Clinton during the Democratic primary — a clear-cut example of DNC officials rigging the primary in favor of Clinton.

The fact that Brazile leaked questions to Clinton before two different primary debates only came out when WikiLeaks published stolen emails from Clinton campaign chair John Podesta in October.

She dismisses reporting about the leaked emails as the media inventing a story out of nothing.

Naples city manager: Irma caused “very little structural damage”

Moss agreed that the storm initially was as fierce as expected. But he went on to say that the back side of the storm seemed to “peter out.” Although it was still dark, Moss said that so far they have seen “very little structural damage,” and that he doesn’t think the flooding of structures will be “very severe.”

Moss concluded that whereas getting power back could be a challenge, “all in all, I think we’re going to be back to business very quickly.”

    Mexico rescinds offer to help Harvey relief efforts

    Mexican officials have their own hurricane and earthquake to deal with
    The Mexican government announced Monday it would rescind its offer to help Texas clean up after Hurricane Harvey due to an earthquake last week that rocked the states of Oaxaca, Chiapas and Tabasco and killed 95 people. Then came Hurricane Katia, which recently whipped into Mexico.

    “This decision is due to the fact that conditions in both countries have changed and that Texas’s need for assistance has fortunately diminished,” read a press release from the Mexican government.

    Dan Bongino: ‘Apparently, Condemning Irma Looters Makes You Racist’

    “Apparently… discussing looting now makes you a racist,” he said.

    Bongino, who lives in Florida, said those who are burglarizing stores during Hurricane Irma are “hack, phony frauds who have no lives.”

    He said the political left makes excuses for looters during natural disasters because their livelihoods are “based off clickbait.”

    Tale of Two Interviews: CBS’s Rose Goes to Battle With Bannon

    On Sunday, CBS News ran two high-profile interviews with two very influential political movers and shakers, the Jane Pauley interview with Hillary Clinton during Sunday Morning and Charlie Rose’s interview with Steve Bannon on 60 Minutes. And the two interviews couldn’t be anymore different. Pauley’s was mournful as she tried to connect with Clinton over her loss to Trump, while in the other, Rose was eager to fight and became combative as he lectured Bannon.

    We have a local meteorologist who is not affiliated with any of the tv stations, etc. He has a subscription based business and is darn good at predicting the few snowstorms we have here in VA. He is a native New Yorker, and a flaming Dem. I used to follow him for the weather but had to cut it out during the election because he was so rudely anti-Trump and pro-Hillary it was just ridiculous. I picked him up again during the hurricanes, just to see what he had to say about the storms. I was wondering whether or not to have the boat pulled out of the water. Lo and behold, he said he couldn’t believe he was saying it but he had to give the Trump administration full credit for a terrific federal response to the storms and the aftermaths. It was like hell freezing over. Maybe things will start to settle down. Oh, well. I can dream.
