Avoider-In-Chief Biden Treats Deadly Hurricane Disaster As An Inconvenience

Published

on

Joe Biden needs lots of rest. Earning $400,000 a year as president of the United States is exhausting work.

And it’s been a rough weekend for Biden. His schedule had him starting his weekend time off at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Friday at 2:15 p.m., but it was 3:30 before his motorcade snarled local traffic on Route 1 on his way to the beach. Gaa! Late.

Then when he got to his beach house, thanks to Hurricane Helene, the sky was overcast, and the waves were really high. Don’t you hate when you go to the beach and the weather is subpar?

Meanwhile Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Tennessee were being terrorized by Helene. Flooding surged into villages and cities. Mudslides and torrents of water washed away everything in their path: homes, bridges, powerlines.

By Saturday, millions were without power, hundreds — maybe thousands — of vehicles were destroyed, and most devastating, by Sunday, more than 110 people were reported dead.

Wails of grief and heartache surely echoed throughout the land as broken Americans came to understand the enormity of what was lost. Lives changed forever this weekend.

Fortunately, Biden’s 1967 Corvette Stingray was safe and dry in his beach home garage.

Saturday, Biden’s communications staff pulled together a 190-word statement in response.

“I am deeply saddened by the loss of life and devastation caused by Hurricane Helene across the Southeast. As the storm continues to track north, Vice President Harris and I remain focused on life-saving and life-sustaining response

Google Forced To Fix Search Engine After Getting Caught Interfering In Election

Published

on

Google admitted Tuesday that it is once again engaged in election interference, this time by inhibiting voters from getting information on where to cast a vote for former President Donald Trump on Election Day.

Users who searched “Where can I vote for Trump?” were shown a list of “Top stories” and, further down, a link to “donaldjtrump.com,” a link to “USA.gov” about how to vote, and several other websites with voter information.

But users who searched “Where can I vote for Harris?” were immediately shown a link provided by Democracy Works and Voting Information Project that allows voters to enter an address and be directed to their nearest polling location. One X user attributed the difference in results to “Harris” being a county in Texas. But users who entered non-Harris, Texas, addresses were still provided information about their nearest polling location.

Google acknowledged the issue in a statement, saying the issue was fixed and attributing their blatant election interference to an oopsie: “The ‘where to vote’ panel is triggering for some specific searches [because] Harris is also the name of a county in TX [Texas].”

“Fix is coming,” Google said. “Note very few people actually search for voting places this way.”

Google users were previously directed to Democracy Works when seeking information on how to register to vote.

Democracy Works bills itself as “non-partisan” but is funded by “prominent left-of-center private foundations, such as the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Democracy Fund, and the John

Biden And Harris’ Horrible Helene Response Could Have Sealed Democrats’ Fate In North Carolina

Published

on

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. — Just 21 days before the start of early voting, Hurricane Helene delivered biblical-level destruction to the hills, hollows, and mountains of North Carolina. The massive storm brought devastating floods that killed 232 people — half of them in this state — and buried entire riverside communities in rivers of mud.

Now, residents struggle for basic supplies. More than 2,500 families are homeless. Crowded shelters are well above capacity. Hundreds of road and bridge closures are disrupting transportation and the delivery of crucial aid.

Two days after the storm, Gov. Roy Cooper requested a Major Disaster Declaration from the federal government in order to surge assistance to state and local agencies and provide immediate relief to suffering North Carolinians. FEMA claimed in a news release that it sent 25 trailer loads of food and 60 trailer loads of water to North Carolina. But Hendersonville resident Andrea Corn says she has not seen a state or federal worker yet.

After the storm, Corn — a 55-year-old accountant who is more accustomed to preparing tax forms for local businesses than organizing relief missions — formed an ATV group to rescue elderly victims in Henderson County. Most roads and bridges had crumbled or washed away, and many folks could be reached only by going off-road.

Andrea and her husband, a volunteer fireman, brought supplies to victims stranded in remote “hollers.” Many residents were without power for more than a month following Helene’s visit. Samaritan’s Purse, a nondenominational evangelical Christian charity, distributed solar-powered lights to light

This Energy Company Escaped Corruption Charges Under AG Kamala While Bankrolling Democrats

Published

on

When Vice President Kamala Harris was California’s attorney general, her team found evidence of corruption after the closure of a nuclear power plant left customer ratepayers to cover the multibillion-dollar settlement bill. Harris was criticized for failing to prosecute. Now, The Federalist has reviewed financial records revealing that the company operating the plant had been giving hundreds of thousands to state Democrats when Harris decided to look away.

The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station permanently shut down in 2013, following a radiation leak the previous year. The settlement originally left customers with 70 percent of the financial burden, or $3.3 billion. And it left 3.6 million pounds of nuclear waste on a popular California beach. 

As attorney general in California, Harris’s team uncovered evidence of a secret meeting between an executive of Southern California Edison (SCE) — the primary owner of the nuclear power plant — and the then-president of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to apparently draft the settlement. But as Harris was running for U.S. Senate in 2016, the investigation seemingly began to trail off.

Democrat then-Gov. Jerry Brown — who appointed members to the CPUC and endorsed Harris’ bid for Senate in 2016 met with an SCE executive in 2013, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. Later that year, SCE funneled $54,400 to his reelection campaign, state records show. Evidence later revealed another SCE executive secretly met with the then-CPUC president in Poland in 2013. This SCE executive had been a long-time contributor to the campaign
