Hurricane Melissa.

 

Hurricane Melissa has spread into Jamaica and now is in Cuba. It has wins of well over 140 mph. It has been one of the strongest hurricanes in the Atlantic in recorded history. The storm has destroyed homes, caused massive flooding in Jamaica, and is continuing to travel up in the Caribbean. In southwestern Jamaica, damage has come to hospitals, schools, and other places. Melissa has caused as high as 7 deaths in Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. There are rescue operations in Jamaica now, and America has sent massive resources to help people in Jamaica. There has been landslides in the country too as Jamaica has many places with high elevations. The Prime Minister of Jamaica has declared Jamaica a national disaster area. Millions of Jamaicans and 25,000 tourists have ride out the storm. Over 500,000 people lack power. Flash floods have spread in Cuba's 2nd largest city of Santiago de Cuba.

As Americans, we are with the Jamaican people. Jamaica and other Caribbean locations are experiencing a dangerous, deadly hurricane. Weather doesn't discriminate as it can harm young and old, rich or poor, etc. Many people in Kingston and other places of Jamaica have brought food and using certain precautions. The storm by Sunday has reached 140 mph. The storm is Hurricane Melissa. Melissa will travel to Jamaica and go to Cuba. The Hurricane now is in 175 mph over warm waters which makes it very dangerous. Weather experts predict that it can cause as high as 40 feet of flooding waters. With this storm's profound intensity, catastrophe can come to many regions of the Caribbean. It is the most powerful hurricane to travel into Jamaica since Gilbert back in the 1980s.

The shutdown continues with little end in sight for the foreseeable future. November 1, 2025 is the date when SNAP benefits are being cut for 40 million Americans. That is why there is an increase of people going into food banks to get food to survive. Many federal workers are waiting to find out when they will get paid. Trump wants the National Guard to monitor the 2026 elections which seek to intimidate voters who don't agree with the Trump agenda. So, we must be clear to realize that fascism is not years away. We have fascism in America now. Steve Bannon, who is a Trump ally, wants Trump to have a third term. That is illegal as the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution mentions that Presidents can only be elected to two terms. This plan of Bannon to urge Trump to have a third term is treason. It is also treason for Trump to pardon January 6th terrorists who sought to overthrow the American government back in 2021. The lie is that Trump represents the interests of workers and poor Americans when Trump is aided by the oligarchy by pardoning billionaire Changpeng Zhao, the former CEO crytop exchange Binance, for supporting billionaire social media figures who funded his inauguration, and his support for the massive tax cuts for the super wealthy. Corporate donors from Meta, Amazon, Apple, Caterpillar, Comcast, etc. support the destruction of part of the White House to build a ballroom. Trump continues to promote the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. The DOJ's trying to monitor sites in Democratic states is an attempt at intimidation. We should disagree with this plan.

We see Trump speaking to the U.S. military in Japan. He gave a bizarre speech about magnets. Now, we have the longest complete shutdown of the federal government services in American history. Many federal workers are impoverished. By early November 2025, over 20 million Americans will receive Obamacare premium notices for 2026, which could mean a massive increase in health care premiums in 2026. Trump giving $40 billion in taxpayer money to support the far-right regime in Argentina when people are starving and suffering in America shows the hypocrisy of the MAGA movement. Airline service continues to deteriorate as skipped paychecks have forced air traffic controllers and the Transportation Safety Agency inspectors to call in sick and seek food for their families at charity food banks. Some resort to working on Uber, Lyft, or Doordash to pay the bills. Trump possible trying to invade Venezuela shows Trump to have an unstable mentality. The Department of Agriculture said that it will not draw upon its $6 billion in emergency funds to help continue SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), the main federal food aid program. This is evil and cruel.

We should know about data centers too. Data centers are receiving billions in state tax exemptions. These centers are owned by Big Tech giants. Many of these centers are increasing electricity bills and getting large amounts of water. AI is boosting the stock portfolios of the richest Americans while everyone else pays the price. That is why the world's 10 richest people are $500 billion wealthier this year, thanks to the AI boom. According to Reuters, officials are required to sign NDAs tied to Latin American missions. This is bizarre as people deserve transparency involving Trump's illegal murder of people in the Caribbean, the Pacific, and other parts of the world. Amazon announced plans to lay off 14,000 employees as it looks to invest more in AI. Some in Wall Street have praised this cruel news as more people will lose their own jobs in the process. This action will cause Amazon stock prices to increase and increase the Amazon CEO's pay, thereby bolstering Jeff Bezos's net worth, which is now $250 billion.
