Thousands have been displaced and entire towns have been swept away after Hurricane Helene. Countless people remain missing. I have heard reports that they are sending refrigerated trucks to the beach areas by me to collect bodies but the news does not want anyone to know the true devastation of the storm. North Carolina, in particular, has not recovered and people are continuing to perish as federal assistance has not arrived. It appears the majority of the heavily impacted towns in North Carolina happen to be predominately conservative, and our liberal government is allowing these citizens to die. Experts have deemed Helene the most devastating storm in US history since Hurricane Katrina but it is receiving minimal attention by the US government.
Kamala Harris was campaigning for personal gain when Hurricane Helene hit, while Joe Biden was enjoying an extended weekend trip at the beach. Biden immediately told the press that Americans should not expect any additional aid as the rescue efforts were ongoing. Kamala Harris then announced that the government would provide a mere $750 to victims in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. How will the people rebuild with $750? That is not even enough to cover a week’s stay at a hotel. It’s $50 more than they provided to the victims of Maui and BILLIONS less than they provided to those in Ukraine.
Kamala Harris initially said that she believed resources should be distributed based on race, gender, and socioeconomic status. This is completely unconstitutional and outright prejudiced. Harris believes that non-whites are impacted “by issues not of their own making,” as if straight white males are somehow better prepared to deal with a natural disaster. The hurricane is not woke or discriminating on which lives it will take based on DEI scores.
Ukraine has received over $175 billion in aid since the beginning of the war, with Congress approving new multi-billion dollar packages every few months. The United States federal government is funding the government of Ukraine, using US civilian tax dollars to pay for civil servants who receive free benefits like health care and pensions. America has spent billions repairing Ukraine’s infrastructure while abandoning its own. Biden and Harris have also approved of aid for Israel and Taiwan that is far more than they are providing to their own citizens who are in the midst of a severe crisis.
Let’s not forget that migrants are receiving thousands per month for simply existing. Again, that money has been taken from US taxpayers and provided to migrants. Would Harris focus on states like North Carolina if they voted blue? Some may recall that George W. Bush came under fire for not doing enough in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Celebrities with large platforms, like Kanye West, accused him of allowing people in predominantly black communities to die. Bush said that accusations of racism in the aftermath of Katrina were the WORST MOMENTS of his ENTIRE presidency, even surpassing the terrorist attack of 9/11 or the beginning of America’s involvement in the Middle East.
FEMA needs to be investigated. I would urge people to donate to churches or private groups over FEMA as there are numerous reports that the organization is confiscating supplies. The delayed response to the catastrophe seems deliberate. The government is also actively preventing private citizens and corporations from providing rescue efforts because they want their cut. What a shame it would be if the people realized that the private sector and individuals were more efficient than the federal government.
A pilot from South Carolina, who also works as a volunteer firefighter, rescues several people trapped in homes in North Carolina. “They only had one day of supplies, which was gone by Saturday. They didn’t have any food, water, no running water, no power.And we were coming back this direction anyway, so we actually took them to Charlotte-Douglas Airport and they were able to fly home from there,” the pilot said. Upon safely landing, authorities told him that he would be arrested if he attempted to rescue the other hurricane victims in the home. As Bobby Kennedy said, every time the government claims to be imposing rules to protect citizens, it is merely a ploy to usurp power.
What will it take for people to open their eyes and realize that the government simply hates them. American citizens are the LAST priority under Biden-Harris and that will remain under Harris-Walz.
Texans applying for relief from Hurricane Harvey faced an unusual stipulation to receive aid. Over 20,000 people in Dickinson, Texas, had their lives affected by the storm. The US federal government is offering to provide some form of aid, but first, residents must agree to support Israel.
The “Verification not to Boycott Israel” clause states that by signing the agreement, “the Applicant verifies that the Applicant: (1) does not boycott Israel; and (2) will not boycott Israel during the term of this Agreement.”
This is absolutely outrageous as once again our government places its boot on the neck of the people to force them to abide by their agenda. There is absolutely no correlation between Israel and the hurricane as this measure is simply all about power and forcing the people to submit.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) issued a warning that the local government is violating the First Amendment by withholding aid from those who disagree with the war on Palestine. “The First Amendment protects Americans’ right to boycott, and the government cannot condition hurricane relief or any other public benefit on a commitment to refrain from protected political expression,” said ACLU of Texas Legal Director Andre Segura. “Dickinson’s requirement is an egregious violation of the First Amendment, reminiscent of McCarthy-era loyalty oaths requiring Americans to disavow membership in the Communist party and other forms of ‘subversive’ activity.”
Furthermore, Texas passed a law that requires all contractors to verify that they will not boycott Israel. Governor Greg Abbott of Texas said that anti-Israel policies are anti-Texas when signing House Bill 89 (HB 89), known as the Anti-BDS (Boycott, Divestments, and Sanctions). “As Israel’s number one trading partner in the United States, Texas is proud to reaffirm its support for the people of Israel and we will continue to build on our historic partnership. Anti-Israel policies are anti-Texas policies, and we will not tolerate such actions against an important ally,” Abbott stated.
Boycotts and speaking out against wars are permitted and protected under the First Amendment. The Supreme Court ruled in NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware Co., 458 U.S. 886 (1982) that the Constitution does indeed protect boycotts. That lawsuit involved the boycott of white-owned businesses amid segregation.
The ruling held:
The nonviolent elements of petitioners’ activities are entitled to the protection of the First Amendment. Pp. 458 U. S. 907-915.
(a) Through exercise of their First Amendment rights of speech, assembly, association, and petition, rather than through riot or revolution, petitioners sought to bring about political, social, and economic change. Pp. 458 U. S. 907-912.
(b) While States have broad power to regulate economic activities, there is no comparable right to prohibit peaceful political activity such as that found in the boycott in this case. Pp. 458 U. S. 912-915.
It has been said that everyone in politics has an assigned APIAC representative. The corruption is not on one side as both the Democrats and Republicans have sold out. None of this is Constitutional but our decision-makers have been sold out to foreign entities. Now, American businesses are prohibited from engaging with state agencies if those said businesses do not support Israel. Individual citizens are being coerced into supporting a foreign nation simply to receive aid. How much further will they take matters? Will they de-bank citizens for posting support for Palestine on social media? Government power knows no bounds.

The Russian Neocons have forced Putin to accept reality. Zelensky’s “VICTORY PLAN” is the complete destruction of Russia. As I have said, I have had employees in both Kiev and Donetsk. The two would never talk to each other, and the one from Kiev attending our conference in Athens refused to take any flight hole that connected through Moscow. If you ever brought a bottle of Russian vodka to dinner in Kiev, it was an insult.
Russia has terminated any peace negotiations. The Russian Neocons have made their point that Zelensky is purely interested in killing every possible Russia. There is no more resolution to this conflict than there are between Israel and Iran.
Our computer has pinpointed October as the shift in trend. We can even see a Panic Cycle showing up in November. Ukraine will NOT survive—that much is clear. Russians’ hatred for events involving previous generations will ensure that Ukraine is not a country that will survive. That may not be popular to say, but this is the UNBAISED forecast of the computer—not my personal opinion. We can see that volatility was scheduled to begin rising here in October.
The problem is that October is showing up as an important turning point in many surrounding nations as well. Watch the arrays for the daily and weekly targets as we proceed into this month.

The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) has reached a tentative agreement with port owners and representatives of USMX, for a reported 62% contract increase in wages over six years. As a result, the dockworker strike is suspended as negotiations on other aspects of the contract are extended through January 15, 2025.
According to the New York Times – […] A 62 percent increase would raise the top longshoremen’s wage to just over $63 per hour at the end of a new six-year contract, from today’s $39 per hour. And at $63 an hour, the wages of East and Gulf Coast longshoremen would slightly exceed those that will be earned by West Coast longshoremen, who belong to a different union, at the end of their contract in 2027.
In the resumed talks, the issue of how much automation can occur at the ports could divide the sides. The union has also been pressing for improved retirement benefits. (more)

The Biden Administration, under the Neocons’ control, has sent Ukraine $24.4 billion. The Ukrainian population is about 28 million, minus all the ethnic Russians in the Donbas, which would be about 42 million combined. That means the Biden Administration has sent the equivalent of $871 per person, but it does not go to the people. If we subtract the 8 million that fled and live in the EU, it will be $1,200 per person in Ukraine. FEMA has been generous and is handing $750 to the homes impacted by this storm, Helene.
Biden is paying all the salaries and pensions of those in the Ukraine government. He is handing $9,000 per illegal alien he has let in to vote Democrat so they can screw everyone who has voted against the Democrats.
I stated that I went to bed with my two dogs, and we slept the night. Some commented on how I could possibly sleep through the night. This was not a direct hit. Just about everyone I have spoken to, their insurance companies are denying all claims because they say this was not caused by wind. This was a tidal surge – not wind. So I could sleep. There was now a howling sound. I woke up, and my house was fine, but 4 feet deep sand was by the end of my driveway. This area has NEVER been flooded. Nobody has ever seen a storm of this nature. It was 150 miles offshore from me.
All election appliances are out on the street. Pinellas County has just closed the dump, for it is full. There is now nowhere to go. The streets are full of everyone’s beds and belongings. Many have lost everything. Because I had a generator, some neighbors came here just to charge their phones.
Some restaurants that have survived offer free food to those with nothing. And This Biden Administration offered them $750 when the insurance companies denied all claims? They are handing free healthcare to illegal aliens to make sure they vote to ensure the Democrats can fine destroy America since they are firming in the clutches of the Neocons who want to rule the world.
The United States CAN NOT survive divided in this manner

President Trump sat down with Dave Ramsey to discuss specific economic drivers that will jump start the U.S. economy in 2025.
Beginning with an immediate shift in energy policy, President Trump sets the aggregate goal to reduce overall energy prices by 50% in the first year. The drop in energy price then begins to reverberate throughout all facets of the economy as the cost of goods sold, distributed and warehoused immediately lowers. This directly starts to lower the end price of goods.
President Trump then proposes a drop of the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 15 percent. However, in order for corporations and manufacturers to get the lowered rate, they MUST produce their product INSIDE the USA. The tax drop will only apply to companies who produce goods domestically from USA origins. This approach further bolsters employment and wages as the companies shift operations to the USA to gain the favorable rate.
Dropping overall energy prices, targeting tariffs on strategic sectors, decreasing regulations, increasing domestic production, creating jobs, becoming less reliant on foreign goods and enhancing the Gross Domestic Product, directly expands the economy and provides more revenue for government operations. This is the MAGAnomic success formula that allows Social Security to survive without change.
.
Around 13:30 of the interview, Ramsey talks about the culture of excellence that exists within the Trump organization. President Trump notes that Eric Trump currently runs the organization and talks about one of the key secrets to their success, ‘promotion from within’.
Many Main Street titans will agree. Selecting excellence within the organization for direct advancement to leadership is the single biggest commonality of organizations who maintain excellent operations. In an era where people jump jobs, in a privately owned company – the ability to promote the best from within ensures long-term employment.
At 20:42, Dave Ramsey asks about President Trump returning to Butler, Pennsylvania to continue the rally interrupted by an assassination attempt. The Butler rally is scheduled for Saturday, October 5th.

The globalists condemned Italy’s Giorgia Meloni for promising to curb immigration if elected. As with Donald Trump, she was called a racist for wanting to secure her nation’s borders. Italy was facing an all-out invasion by land and sea under relaxed European Union edicts that permitted open borders. Now, under Meloni, illegal immigration has dropped 64% in the past year.
Over 150,000 migrants arrived in Italy by boat in 2023, nearly doubling the new arrivals seen in 2022. Instead of building shelters to house migrants with taxpayer funds, Meloni sought to build detention centers. Centri di Permanenza per il Rimpatrio (CPRs) or Repatriation Centers were extremely controversial but effective. Thousands of migrants were detained and deported if their application for asylum was denied. Word traveled that conditions in these centers were less than desirable, making Italy itself less desirable for would-be intruders.
Meloni hosted a conference last July, inviting 20 nations to participate, including EU officials and North African leaders. As with politics, there is always a pay-to-play bargain. Italy, along with the EU, agreed to provide Tunisia funding if they worked to control the outpouring of people from their country. Italy agreed to help the Libyan government in Tripoli and helped their coastguard learn tactics to deter migration. Deals were made with North African nations that benefitted each country. The Mattei Plan launched nine projects across six African countries in exchange for their participation in fighting illegal immigration to Italy. Although it came at a cost, the price was far less than Italy would have paid to house endless newcomers.
Then there was the Naval blockade proposal whereby Meloni wanted the Mediterranean secured. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen only agreed to offer Meloni support when she realized that migrants were using Italy as a starting point to enter other European nations.
There is no need for open borders. World leaders do have the ability to act if they choose to do so. The United States, Canada, the UK, and elsewhere in Europe are witnessing a deliberate and calculated invasion of their borders. It begins with the rhetoric that illegal trespassing will not be tolerated, and ends with actions that show the world their threats are not baseless. A decrease in 64% is quite significant and proves that anti-immigration policies are extremely effective.

For the second consecutive year, fewer women are giving in birth in Canada. The country now has a birth rate of 1.26 children per woman, with some provinces like British Columbia reporting a rate of only 1 child per woman. Yet, the number of children remained consistent year-over-year at 350,000, although there was a 5% decline in births from 2021 to 2022. The problem lies in fewer women of childbearing age opting to have children amid the terrible economic conditions.
“Canada has now joined the group of “lowest-low” fertility countries, including South Korea, Spain, Italy and Japan, with 1.3 children per woman or less. In comparison, the total fertility rate for the United States was 1.62 per woman in 2023,” Statistics Canada said in its press release.
More women are waiting until later in life to have children. Gone are the days when young couples could have families and rely on one income for support. Both the mother and father must be financially stable to responsibly bring life into this world. Over 26.5% of mothers in 2023 were over the age of 35 but that figure was only 10.7% twenty years ago. Unfortunately, this has increased the rate of premature births, which has reached a 50-year high.
On the other hand, Canada’s population reached an all-time high this year. Canada’s population surpassed 41 million, but it is not due to new births. Statistics Canada professed that the population rose 0.6% or 242,673 people from Q1 to Q2, standing at 41,012.563 as of April 2024. The nation rose by 1.27 from 2022 to 2023 or a 3.2%. Nearly all population growth (99.3%; 240,955 people) were solely attributed to migrants arriving in Canada.
We are witnessing population replacement at play. Birth rates are declining across developed nations among the citizens who can no longer afford to expand their families. On the other hand, these nations opened their borders and provided free shelter, healthcare, etc., to migrants who are comfortably expanding their families. We are witnessing a shift in society as the current citizens are being phased out and replaced by newcomers.
