"An October surprise is like a lightning bolt in the final stretch of a campaign, leaving both the candidates and voters scrambling for answers" - Garry Wills
Candace Owens is working on the Right's version of Red October. Have you been following her tear- down of Kamala's past? If not, listen to Episodes 70 - 75. I'm listening to 75 now. Even if her info goes viral, those with TDS will still vote for Kamala even though she's a proven liar. I'd love to hear your slant on this - she also goes into Michael Jackson (references Episode 55 of hers for the deep dive). I pray for your sanity and safety, Jessica. Thank you for all you do. There is zero chance of any of us like-minded peeps leaving you. Quite the opposite. I was at my 4 year old grandson's preschool last week in HB wearing "I Heard it on House In Habit." One of the teachers who saw me started talking about you and how they all love, respect and follow you. Eat well for your strength. We need you.
I’ve found an accidental HIH posse of moms as well. Women, mothers, desperate for TRUTH and hope for our families. Jess, your voice is so important to us and for us. THANK YOU.
Was just coming to suggest Jessica listen to Candace’s recent deep dive into Kamala’s family lineage. Sounds like evidence is pointing towards racial appropriation for political gain.
Crazy, right? Like why lie about your grandmother when it can be proven. If one lies about their past (keeping the white people out), what won't one lie about? For the media to be denying her father is a Marxist is so stupid too when facts show differently. I have 1 friend and 1 niece I know are voting for K. I'm not gonna lie - it vastly changes my opinions of them. I stopped listening to Candace during the beef with Ben Shapiro but I can't say I disagree with much of what she says. The fact she doesn't say "You must think the way I do and here is why" is great - she is merely placing facts in front of us with the receipts and saying "Hey - whatcha think?" I will always love her for the Jessica/Mike connection. The fact celebs support Kamala and we know what celebs are really like should tell the everyday person on the street they're being used and no one gives an eighth of a fuck about them.
Yes!! I came to say the same thing. I have been watching her since she left Ben Shapiro’s show. That girl comes with receipts!! The propaganda media will not cover this - to lie about being black. Unbelievable. Well, believable but disgusting.
Since she left the Daily Wire I just discovered her on YouTube and Rumble. She is fantastic and I love her humor. She talks about things that no one else is.
Thanks Tonni! I need to get ahold of these Kamaltoe episodes! I’ve been meaning to watch the MJ one she has and also about MJ the documentary Square One on YouTube.
It was a September surprise, a huge hurricane took out the western part of a state. A state that normally goes red bc of the western part. Will the people of NC truly be able to vote with roads and voting locations washed away?
As someone who grew up in Burnsville NC, along with my husband, and currently have our entire family and childhood friend group currently stranded in those mountains I can tell you, no. We didn’t even know they were alive a few days ago, they won’t even have running water by the time the election comes. And from first hand experience, this hurricane has the mountain people feeling SUPER amped up about this election
I had the same question, where will they vote, and yet they are probably more concerned with "where will we find water, food, supplies". it's so horrible to hear the stories.
Personally, My jaw hits the floor with all the insanity. I was shocked that the left didn't pay more attention to the areas this storm destroyed, and impressed visited and brought supplies. I am also wondering how those very important states that were hit the hardest will be able to vote. Disgusted that we can pour endless funds to the war going on, but not share that same help with our own states. Just increasingly shocked by all that is happening in the news right now, this election is probably one of the most important of our time. I appreciate your insight and coverage!
You know what!? I’m pissed at the unions and the dockworkers. Most of this country is barely getting by. We don’t have the luxury of asking for an exorbitant pay raise, and yet they are going to grab this country by the balls when we’re down on the mat and squeeze harder. Are these are fellow Americans? Makes me sick and just to straighten my tinfoil had a little more look into the fact that one of the areas where North Carolina was decimated has some of the richest lithium deposits in the world and primed for Blackrock or some other entity to come in and scoop up that land for pennies on the dollar. I know I sound crazy. They’ve driven me here.
You said it perfectly “they are going to grab this country by the balls when we’re down on the mat and squeeze harder”. My two cents - that Union president is a piece of greedy 💩 with his 900,000 yearly salary and his Bentley bragging about crippling our economy.
What scares me about this is that it’s all a set up and they will prop Kamala to “save the day”. I’m just sick spit the state of our country and that some can’t see it.
I thought extortion was illegal. But then again, when it's from a union I guess that's okay. Makes me sick. Fire them all for putting already vulnerable folks at even more risk.
These dockworkers are striking against foreigners who own all these US ports (and the products foreigners are shipping into the U.S.). The dockworkers are asking for more money from foreigner corporations …. isn’t that the same as Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on foreign imports?
Keep up the great work. Nuzzi is a smear tactic against RFK and distraction from major issues. Re October surprise, if we had a serious media they would be digging into Tim Walz’s 30 trips to China. He is a baizuo Manchurian candidate, fully compromised by the CCP: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/tim-walz-baizuo-court-eunuch-useful-idiot
If Nuzzi was a dude who sent out unsolicited dick pics, and essentially stalked a woman running for president….would it still be sexism for you to call him out?
If the candidate in question was sitting in the “correct“ party, they would be painted as a victim of a relentless stalker. Protected by the benefit of the doubt. If the genders were reversed, oh Lord, have mercy!
I haven’t seen anyone comment calling it sexist to say Nuzzi was in the wrong. I think most folks have just been saying RFK Jr. is a grown man who has had multiple affairs and both affair parties are responsible.
To answer the question “how are you holding up,” I’m just so fucking sick and tired and beyond furious at our current officeholders *AHEM* turning a blind eye to the victims of the hurricane and instead protecting Ukraine and the immigrants. They will answer to God for their crimes against the oaths they swore, abandoning the needs of their country for their own selfish, diabolical plot.
And don’t forget illegal immigrants that in many states and through BS noon-profits (liberal driven) are provided money filled cards, free housing in hotels, clothes, free meals. It’s a disgrace.
Every request from local government officials has been fulfilled by the Biden admin. Where have you heard otherwise? Trump has been spreading disinfo on this topic.
Yeah sure. The countless videos coming from locals on the ground, volunteers from charities trying to help and various other groups like truckers showing that there zero loads going to NC are all paid by Trump to spread disinformation. Wake up before it’s too late!
The fact Joe COULD pause this for 80 days and is refusing to makes one wonder. There is no doubt these workers are invaluable. However, for them to demand a 75% increase is astounding. I'm not dissing brawn - I love me a "toxic male" but lets be honest - many of these workers do this as they lack the training/education/brains to do anything else.
AI and robots are coming for their jobs. No benefits, no health care, no pension, no injuries, no paid leave…It’s an issue that needs to be sorted out. But maybe not right this very second?
I do agree about the AI and robots. I have not seen anything about healthcare/injuries/paid leave. I question if that is accurate since a Union is responsible for ensuring everyone is cared for - at least I think they are. I just googled and saw nothing about it - they just don't want robots taking over their jobs (which I agree with) and more $$$. I'm a sales director for an attorney service. What we do is massively important for law firms but we get low-balled constantly. There is always someone who will literaly lose money to keep an account just to keep the other guys out. I'm sure our industry is not alone. It is automated with efilings. Things that would normally cost $150 to do "NOW" can be done by the client for $12 using our portal or us for $45. Guess what - we pivot and still survive. I agree the dock workers have an enormously imporant job - but holding the country/world hostage so they can have their own way is not the way to do things in my semi-humble opinion. The fact Biden could pause this and isn't is beyond wrong. My guess is it's "the Dem Machine's" call and not his. AI and robotics are dangerous - we need jobs.
I see that and agree - these Strikers may want to realize that. They also need to be cognizant that the robots and AI still need (at least for the time being), humans to create and fix them and these workers don't have that skill so they will really be screwed. This whole thing sucks hard.
Yep, AI is taking over my job (stenographic court reporter). Soon there will only be AI or tape-recorded trials, hearings or any other legal proceedings. God forbid, there is a malfunction! There will be no record of what occurred for future decisions or appeals. The powers that be claim it is a cost-saving decision, but we are all independent contractors who receive no benefits. No work-no pay, no insurance, no retirement. And you get what you pay for, folks!
I watched a video posted by a Longshoreman’s wife. She explained the issue from the side of the Longshoreman. It gave me a completely different perspective. It’s obvious MSM wants to divide our citizenry anyway possible, so I am suspect when they serve up a new villain (ie the Longshoreman). I think the Longshoreman’s sticking point is that ‘they’ kept their contract & the other side broke their contract by implementing AI. Everyone says AI is here & nothing can stop it. But I keep thinking, just bcz we ‘can’ do something (AI) doesn’t always mean we ‘should’. Like comments (above), imagine the magnitude of the loss in jobs across the country. It’s staggering to think about. We need to educate ourselves on this issue. It seems to be complex w/nuances. It’s not always “the good guy vs. the bad guy”. Sometimes it’s “the bad guy vs. the worse guy”. In this case, something does feel right about standing in support of the hardworking 🇺🇸’s negotiating against the billionaire class (Corp. Elite). Ultimately, need we more info.
Can you share the video? I'd like to see it. I feel badly for the average dock worker. It's the Union dude I have a huge issue with and he is the controller of the dock workers. They are in a bad situation. I agree with you on AI - Just because one CAN do something it doesn't mean one SHOULD. I think some automation is good -those crates are heavy and cumbersome but I think they need humans to oversee the automation. It's a slippery slope. Thank you for your civil response. A couple people on this thread could learn from that. :)
Automation is definitely a sticking point for Longshore workers. I have many of them in my family and many of our friends are longshore union members as well. The port of Los Angeles does have some automation but it’s my understanding the strike on the East Coast is demanding no automation whatsoever. Which is just unrealistic in light of the volume of containers that move in and out of these ports every day.
Where do your friends/family members stand on this strike? Do they truly want to, or are they being forced. The fact the union president lives so high on the horse is troublesome to me when those who are doing the work are struggling. Machines break down so these workers could learn to fix them and perhaps make more money while learning a new skill.
I agree, too fishy. Especially since if the strike isn’t settled in the next few weeks, I read (on business insider so take it as you will) that it would send the US into another recession. Which would be a few days before the election 🤔 suspicious timing for sure.
I keep telling myself to delete the apps and not get sucked in but like a bad accident, I can’t look away. Helene passed my house and somehow we were spared. I’m not sure how. But it has me realizing that I’m not invincible and can be affected by these things. Now with the strike added to the mix, I’m turning into a prepper. I just want them to stop the madness and live in a vibration of abundance for all! Anyhow, my Scorpio rising self does not think Iran was in on it. I think that’s what the war machine wants us to think. Hang in there. Jessica, I appreciate you!
I agree. And I think it is because I generally hold women up to a higher standard than I do men. We are fed the idea that men cheating is par for the course, there are many avenues which say that it is a matter of biology - men just can’t help themselves. We should expect men to lie, to betray. But, I have experience the most hurtful betrayal by other women - mostly because I have, like Jessica, I been over trusting. Never thinking there would be a reason for a betrayal. A jealousy. Or anyone having ulterior motives. I come from a family made up of mostly women. Went to an all girl school. Spent my career as a makeup artist in film - a heavily female dominated part of the industry. For a long time, I was about the sisterhood! But I can tell you most of the troubles I have experience in my life, be it personal or professional, have come from other women.
My betrayal from a female friend nearly broke me. I sobbed for days in my boyfriend’s arms but I knew he didn’t really understand. I had to pull myself up and deal with it as I had young babies at the time. Honestly also it’s made me very wary now, I only have one true girl friend and am much happier alone. You burn yourself on the cooker and you don’t forget how it hurt so you don’t make that mistake again. I’m not bitter, I hope I don’t sound it, i just learnt. And it hurt Xx
This is a really odd take, to me. Why would anyone choose to vote for a man for any office if you truly believe they cannot help themselves in the face of temptation?
We need to expect men to behave themselves. And most men do.
My comment, if that’s what you are referring to, isn’t made in the context of ‘voting for a man’. It is a response to the betrayal of trust of female friends, as a woman. And I believe that there are many temptations that people in positions of power face on a daily basis - and they aren’t all sexual in nature. Like insider trading in the stock market to make millions of dollars, or allowing yourself to be monetarily bribed so that you can give your wife and family members a better life - or a loved one needs money to pay for a life saving surgery.
Whatever someone’s kryptonite, or shame is, will potentially be a place where they could be compromised. It takes a strong individual not to allow themselves to be corrupted on any level. And often, people don’t even realize they may backed themselves into a corner.
I would absolutely agree with you that we need to expect men to behave themselves, and we would probably agree that bad behaviour is not the sole domain of men.
I predict another Trump assassination attempt - coordinated by DEMS and NOT the Iranians. “Iran after Trump” is a coverup lie from the left. The nation is in total chaos right now….spiraling towards Nov 5. Just when I think it can’t get any worse, it always does. Probably time for Fauci to unleash a new virus soon? Keep writing though Jess - we need you!
Lol! Nice try. I’d like to see Hilary, Fauci, Obamas, Soros, Myorkas, JB, Hunter, Kamala, Newsome, Pelosi, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, etc etc etc etc. in prison for their actual crimes!!
I personally feel they are going to launch a Cyber attack right before or on Election Day making it impossible to vote in most places, or at least in the "key swing states" It's heartbreaking and exhausting to fully see the deliberate attack on our country from within and all the blatant lies, corruption, and evil at play. I pray for our country nightly, I pray for protection over Trump and his family, I pray for truth and good to overcome. Also - I wear my "Curiosity is Not a Crime" hat everywhere and get compliments from Fullerton CA! Keep up the great work Jessica, you're our hero.
Brand new reader. I feel like the p.diddy thing, ny mayor indictment, Kennedy story are all devised to draw our attention away from the election. It isn’t working. I am really tired today for no reason. I’m going to bed earlier and earlier. Trying to figure out what I want in general, lower grocery prices, a functioning library, and stability. Right now I don’t have those things. Lots of people are getting laid off, not a peep about it, inflation is just my imagination, the overall intake of breath as the election comes closer and closer AND I’m not the only one with a delayed check from the IRS. Now there is a story! We can pay out to Ukraine but can’t get money that you are owed from the IRS. SCORE! Sarc/
Rescue the Republic event renewed and rallied my morale. I’m hopeful but that didn’t stop me from going to Costco today to stock my garage of water and dry goods. Preppers gotta prep. I mean, I did the same thing for Y2K so hopefully we have the same outcome and the worst that happens is that my friends roll their eyes behind my back. I hope at the eleventh hour more people see this isn’t Republican v Democrat, we have evolved into something far more sinister. At least that’s how it feels. The donor class can’t have an outsider ruining their good time. Praying that people see the Avengers-esque team behind Trump will have enough support behind them to rescue the Republic for real. As whistle blower Marcus Allen recently said, my warning for Americans is to please use your vote, arm yourselves and pray. Amen. 🙏
Hey there. Just wanted to add something to the stocking your garage comment. I live in Northeast TN just about 30 miles from the hospital that had the rescues from the roof by helicopters. I have an old friend still stranded with several others in her community on the side of a mountain. Thankfully on Sunday they received supplies by helicopter but still don’t know how long they will be just there with no power or water. Here’s another issue. People from all around have been taking supplies to the people hit by the storm, as they should, but now we have nothing left in our grocery stores to purchase for our families. Absolutely no bottled water to be found, toilet paper, diapers….This strike is at the worst possible time for this entire region. Joe couldn’t delay and help us out of a crisis situation. As someone else posted these mountains are sitting on lithium and quartz deposits that would be very valuable. Also in Spruce Pine it states are already some mines for silicone sand they say is in the purest form that is used in chips and is very sought after. What will happen to all the mountain towns where residents have no flood insurance? Doesn’t flood a lot in the mountains. Something is just wrong with the way this is happening. Saw a video yesterday saying several choppers are waiting to help find the people still out there but they won’t let them. It’s crazy this is happening. Thank you for letting me vent.
Vent away, seems like it’s a very similar government response as Maui disaster. With the same empty promise of 750.00 per person relief money. Is that a bad joke? Absurd. I’m sorry Deborah. 🙏
Your opinion and experience matters, please be brave and bold to continue to share as you're living near the chaos and disaster unfolding. By them ignoring these American victims who are left to suffer and die alone is unimaginable. I can't stop praying for everyone especially the innocent animals, women, children and vulnerable. The government is never going to save us, we have to save ourselves.
The US Port Strike by the ILA workers. Very timely blow, especially after hurricane when supplies are already being gobbled up and desperately needed. I just went to Sam’s club 7 hrs away from disaster and there is no TP or water bottles because everyone wants to help those in need and donate.
Problem is, each day that there is a strike and no movement of goods, it takes 6 days to recover. Imagine the ripple effect and the potential I think this major blow will have in descending us into chaos. This is the biggest story I think brewing on the down low and the public at large is unaware of the tsunami in the distance thanks to the suppression of the media. They talk about it but not in the way they should. Maybe that’s a blessing…because it will subdue panic buying.

Was just coming to suggest Jessica listen to Candace’s recent deep dive into Kamala’s family lineage. Sounds like evidence is pointing towards racial appropriation for political gain.
I have been listening to this too. I am fascinated and believe Candace is on to something.

I feel the same about Candace. She lays the facts out. 💥
Yes!! I came to say the same thing. I have been watching her since she left Ben Shapiro’s show. That girl comes with receipts!! The propaganda media will not cover this - to lie about being black. Unbelievable. Well, believable but disgusting.
Since she left the Daily Wire I just discovered her on YouTube and Rumble. She is fantastic and I love her humor. She talks about things that no one else is.
Just came on to say this exact thing!
Thanks Tonni! I need to get ahold of these Kamaltoe episodes! I’ve been meaning to watch the MJ one she has and also about MJ the documentary Square One on YouTube.
That was Tulips suggestion, but I’m here for all things Candace too!
I started listening to the Kamala family tree series this week. Pretty damning imo! But the left doesn’t care if she lies.
Now it’s coming out that her husband is a woman beater who paid off in hush money. They’ll dismiss this as well. Sickening!
I don’t know if I can truly handle an October surprise. For real. I want out of this timeline please 🙋🏻♀️😆
It was a September surprise, a huge hurricane took out the western part of a state. A state that normally goes red bc of the western part. Will the people of NC truly be able to vote with roads and voting locations washed away?

I had the same question, where will they vote, and yet they are probably more concerned with "where will we find water, food, supplies". it's so horrible to hear the stories.
Maybe Scott Preslar will come to their rescue. That would be amazing 🇺🇸
I love Scott so much. He is single handedly saving Pennsylvania.
I wonder the same!
Me too
I know, it’s exhausting.
Personally, My jaw hits the floor with all the insanity. I was shocked that the left didn't pay more attention to the areas this storm destroyed, and impressed visited and brought supplies.

I believe I heard the House has subpoenaed records. I might be wrong but I saw an IG post earlier today.
Tell it like it is Jessica. This is always what the public needs and wants. Thank goodness for truth in reporting like you.
You know I will!
Oh phew!!
If Nuzzi was a dude who sent out unsolicited dick pics, and essentially stalked a woman running for president….would it still be sexism for you to call him out?

I’ve heard some say it’s a set up for Kamala to come in and negotiate a deal and look like a hero. Hmmmm. Everything is fishy! Let’s all timeline hop!

Automation is definitely a sticking point for Longshore workers. I have many of them in my family and many of our friends are longshore union members as well. The port of Los Angeles does have some automation but it’s my understanding the strike on the East Coast is demanding no automation whatsoever. Which is just unrealistic in light of the volume of containers that move in and out of these ports every day.
Where do your friends/family members stand on this strike? Do they truly want to, or are they being forced. The fact the union president lives so high on the horse is troublesome to me when those who are doing the work are struggling. Machines break down so these workers could learn to fix them and perhaps make more money while learning a new skill.
I agree, too fishy. Especially since if the strike isn’t settled in the next few weeks, I read (on business insider so take it as you will) that it would send the US into another recession. Which would be a few days before the election 🤔 suspicious timing for sure.
Maybe shortages are to be Biden's revenge.
On top of catastrophic storm destruction in the southeast.
So now Nuzzi is suing Lizza?! Olivia does not want this story to fade away…!
Toilet paper is produced here in the US as are a ton of our groceries. No shortages are expected of either.
I keep telling myself to delete the apps and not get sucked in but like a bad accident, I can’t look away. Helene passed my house and somehow we were spared. I’m not sure how. But it has me realizing that I’m not invincible and can be affected by these things. Now with the strike added to the mix, I’m turning into a prepper. I just want them to stop the madness and live in a vibration of abundance for all! Anyhow, my Scorpio rising self does not think Iran was in on it. I think that’s what the war machine wants us to think. Hang in there. Jessica, I appreciate you!
Don’t you dare go easy on that honey trap girl! It’s a betrayal of friendship! Go off Sis!
Agreed!
I think girl friend betrayal is worse than break ups with boys/lovers.
(Yes I’ve been hurt. Dont think I ever got over it tbh)
I agree
I agree. And I think it is because I generally hold women up to a higher standard than I do men. We are fed the idea that men cheating is par for the course, there are many avenues which say that it is a matter of biology - men just can’t help themselves. We should expect men to lie, to betray. But, I have experience the most hurtful betrayal by other women - mostly because I have, like Jessica, I been over trusting. Never thinking there would be a reason for a betrayal. A jealousy. Or anyone having ulterior motives. I come from a family made up of mostly women. Went to an all girl school. Spent my career as a makeup artist in film - a heavily female dominated part of the industry. For a long time, I was about the sisterhood! But I can tell you most of the troubles I have experience in my life, be it personal or professional, have come from other women.
Utterly agree. Beautifully written.
My betrayal from a female friend nearly broke me. I sobbed for days in my boyfriend’s arms but I knew he didn’t really understand. I had to pull myself up and deal with it as I had young babies at the time. Honestly also it’s made me very wary now, I only have one true girl friend and am much happier alone. You burn yourself on the cooker and you don’t forget how it hurt so you don’t make that mistake again. I’m not bitter, I hope I don’t sound it, i just learnt. And it hurt Xx
This is a really odd take, to me. Why would anyone choose to vote for a man for any office if you truly believe they cannot help themselves in the face of temptation?
We need to expect men to behave themselves. And most men do.
My comment, if that’s what you are referring to, isn’t made in the context of ‘voting for a man’. It is a response to the betrayal of trust of female friends, as a woman. And I believe that there are many temptations that people in positions of power face on a daily basis - and they aren’t all sexual in nature. Like insider trading in the stock market to make millions of dollars, or allowing yourself to be monetarily bribed so that you can give your wife and family members a better life - or a loved one needs money to pay for a life saving surgery.
Whatever someone’s kryptonite, or shame is, will potentially be a place where they could be compromised. It takes a strong individual not to allow themselves to be corrupted on any level. And often, people don’t even realize they may backed themselves into a corner.
I would absolutely agree with you that we need to expect men to behave themselves, and we would probably agree that bad behaviour is not the sole domain of men.
I predict another Trump assassination attempt - coordinated by DEMS and NOT the Iranians. “Iran after Trump” is a coverup lie from the left. The nation is in total chaos right now….spiraling towards Nov 5. Just when I think it can’t get any worse, it always does. Probably time for Fauci to unleash a new virus soon? Keep writing though Jess - we need you!
Don’t get the Iranians going after trump, red herring imho, besides I think full out war Iran verses Israel is the “surprise.”
Please God, a truthful election. Silent prayer.
I’m unusually concerned for Trump’s family and their safety. I keep telling myself “they wouldn’t do that…” I pray for them a lot.
No one I know on the left wants Trump dead by assassin. We want him in prison for his crimes.
Lol! Nice try. I’d like to see Hilary, Fauci, Obamas, Soros, Myorkas, JB, Hunter, Kamala, Newsome, Pelosi, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, etc etc etc etc. in prison for their actual crimes!!
I personally feel they are going to launch a Cyber attack right before or on Election Day making it impossible to vote in most places, or at least in the "key swing states" It's heartbreaking and exhausting to fully see the deliberate attack on our country from within and all the blatant lies, corruption, and evil at play. I pray for our country nightly, I pray for protection over Trump and his family, I pray for truth and good to overcome. Also - I wear my "Curiosity is Not a Crime" hat everywhere and get compliments from Fullerton CA! Keep up the great work Jessica, you're our hero.
I'm afraid the October surprise will be Kamala, Pelosi and the liberal mob invoking the 25th amendment so that Kamala is the incumbent.
No one is gonna do this, lol. The election would still take place. The left likes elections. We don’t try to overturn them.
I fear that is very likely as well so she can claim the 47th Presidential Title going into Election Day :/
Brand new reader. I feel like the p.diddy thing, ny mayor indictment, Kennedy story are all devised to draw our attention away from the election. It isn’t working. I am really tired today for no reason. I’m going to bed earlier and earlier. Trying to figure out what I want in general, lower grocery prices, a functioning library, and stability. Right now I don’t have those things. Lots of people are getting laid off, not a peep about it, inflation is just my imagination, the overall intake of breath as the election comes closer and closer AND I’m not the only one with a delayed check from the IRS. Now there is a story! We can pay out to Ukraine but can’t get money that you are owed from the IRS. SCORE! Sarc/
Rescue the Republic event renewed and rallied my morale. I’m hopeful but that didn’t stop me from going to Costco today to stock my garage of water and dry goods. Preppers gotta prep. I mean, I did the same thing for Y2K so hopefully we have the same outcome and the worst that happens is that my friends roll their eyes behind my back. I hope at the eleventh hour more people see this isn’t Republican v Democrat, we have evolved into something far more sinister. At least that’s how it feels. The donor class can’t have an outsider ruining their good time. Praying that people see the Avengers-esque team behind Trump will have enough support behind them to rescue the Republic for real. As whistle blower Marcus Allen recently said, my warning for Americans is to please use your vote, arm yourselves and pray. Amen. 🙏
Hey there. Just wanted to add something to the stocking your garage comment. I live in Northeast TN just about 30 miles from the hospital that had the rescues from the roof by helicopters. I have an old friend still stranded with several others in her community on the side of a mountain. Thankfully on Sunday they received supplies by helicopter but still don’t know how long they will be just there with no power or water. Here’s another issue. People from all around have been taking supplies to the people hit by the storm, as they should, but now we have nothing left in our grocery stores to purchase for our families. Absolutely no bottled water to be found, toilet paper, diapers….This strike is at the worst possible time for this entire region. Joe couldn’t delay and help us out of a crisis situation. As someone else posted these mountains are sitting on lithium and quartz deposits that would be very valuable. Also in Spruce Pine it states are already some mines for silicone sand they say is in the purest form that is used in chips and is very sought after. What will happen to all the mountain towns where residents have no flood insurance? Doesn’t flood a lot in the mountains. Something is just wrong with the way this is happening. Saw a video yesterday saying several choppers are waiting to help find the people still out there but they won’t let them. It’s crazy this is happening. Thank you for letting me vent.
Vent away, seems like it’s a very similar government response as Maui disaster. With the same empty promise of 750.00 per person relief money. Is that a bad joke? Absurd. I’m sorry Deborah. 🙏
Your opinion and experience matters, please be brave and bold to continue to share as you're living near the chaos and disaster unfolding. By them ignoring these American victims who are left to suffer and die alone is unimaginable. I can't stop praying for everyone especially the innocent animals, women, children and vulnerable. The government is never going to save us, we have to save ourselves.
The US Port Strike by the ILA workers. Very timely blow, especially after hurricane when supplies are already being gobbled up and desperately needed. I just went to Sam’s club 7 hrs away from disaster and there is no TP or water bottles because everyone wants to help those in need and donate.
Problem is, each day that there is a strike and no movement of goods, it takes 6 days to recover. Imagine the ripple effect and the potential I think this major blow will have in descending us into chaos. This is the biggest story I think brewing on the down low and the public at large is unaware of the tsunami in the distance thanks to the suppression of the media. They talk about it but not in the way they should. Maybe that’s a blessing…because it will subdue panic buying.
