Hurricane Milton is a Category 5 storm. Authorities want people in the path of the storm to evacuate. That is why tons of cars are bumper-to-bumper trying to escape the Tampa area. This is caused by climate change and warming waters worldwide. The storm will hit on Wednesday night. The Tampa Mayor said that people who want to ride out the storm in the Tampa area may die. It is that serious. People will see which areas of Florida will get the mighty storm surge. Milton may be a once-in-a-century storm. Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (she is the same person who claims to be a believer in God but curses people out unnecessary, dehumanizes a black woman, and promotes outrageous lies) is politicizing the storm by making up the lie that the storm is being created for a purpose while denying the existence of climate change. Officials are pleading with Floridians to evacuate. Highways in the state are clogged up and some gas stations are running low on fuel as residents respect the serious warnings. This storm comes just two weeks after Hurricane Helene came into Florida.
Thirty-six states have early voting. Vice President Kamala Harris will have a 60 Minutes interview on Monday night. Harris will use different media outlets to promote her campaign and express her political views. She is using digital avenues like podcasts to promote her goals for America. Donald Trump is not doing the 60 Minutes interview. There is a double standard. Some in the corporate media give passes to Trump regarding his policies because of the perception that Trump is being Trump. Kamala Harris has given overt policy positions on issues from economics to housing. However, some in the corporate media still promote the false narrative that Kamala Harris lacks details (when she has shown tons of statistics and information on what she will do for America). Trump has spewed racist, sexist, and xenophobic rhetoric for a while being supported by Thiel and Elon Musk.
Days ago, was the first-year anniversary of the invasion of Israel by Hamas. There can be no sugarcoating of what took place. Hamas did an anti-Semitic modern-day pogrom against Jewish people in Israel. Hamas murdered civilians, raped women, attacked civilian locations like a music concert (of the Nova Festival), and held hostages. These acts constitute war crimes, and they have no justification period. Many people in Iran celebrated Hamas' actions which is sick and disgusting. The growth of anti-Semitism is real in the world. We recognize that racial, gender, and religious bigotry have no place in the Universe. Likewise, Netanyahu responded in a fashion that went beyond legitimate self-defense in my view. This isn't just my view.
It is found in the reports of international organizations documenting how churches, mosques, hospitals, homes, etc. have been attacked by Israeli military forces resulting in over 40,000 Palestinian people, who are dead. So, the Israeli hostages should be all freed, and this occupation in the West Bank and Gaza should end. This war should end. Netanyahu is a person that I knew during the 1990s as a child and teenager. Even back then, I knew of his ways. It is important to note that anti-Semitism should be condemned, and legitimate critique of Israeli governmental policy is not anti-Semitism too. So, there should be peace, and fair-minded Jewish and Arabic people in the Middle East must work together to make sure that there is a real solution to this complicated crisis.
