This seems a little odd to me. Citing the time it takes to implement contra-flow traffic as a problem, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell stated there is not enough time for the city of New Orleans to execute a mandatory evacuation. Additionally, she is asking all residents who do not evacuate to shelter in place for Hurricane Ida.
Contra-flow traffic is the process of turning inbound lanes into outbound lanes and depending on the metropolitan area takes around 8 hrs for local and state DOT to get set up. The mayor is asking for a voluntary evacuation saying “time is not on our side.” “The City can not issue a mandatory evacuation because we do not have time, Cantrell continued. WATCH:

Yikes… and Biden’s team is running FEMA.
Additional News Report…. WATCH:
Is it just my inexact anecdotal observation of tv……or is every Police Chief in the USA Black?
Might be your tv—-is it black & white or colored?
15% of the USA is Black, so about 15% of Police Chiefs should be Black.
I sense more, many more.
But unless of course there is some racial bias in selection, which there can’t be, it must be just a mirage.
Only if the 13% had a functioning brain.
I clicked on the YouTube link, where many blacks expressed anger toward NO Mayor Cantrell. They are every bit as upset as they should be – at the mayor, at Democrats. When their leaders aren’t lying to them, they’re stealing their elections. We need to pray for them. Cantrell could have ordered counter flow yesterday, then it’d be in place and people would be leaving.
Major metro areas in the news would skew that as they have larger concentrations of people of color.
So you see more. But lots of smaller cities have lots of white folks as Chiefs.
What we tend to be shown are police chiefs from urban areas- cities. Those are almost all heavily if not majority black, or at least non/white.
The city governments are almost all run by DemoFascists, so being the racists that they are, they put blacks in charge of the police so as to appear they care about the citizens.
I would think most would see the blatant racism in that employment and promotion practice.
Urban areas have a higher concentration of minorities. Add in affirmative action and there you have it. I say they should be policing their own, since a high percentage of homicides and other felonies in urban areas are committed by gang bangers who happen to be black and browns.
or LGBTQTV?
You’re noticing the South African Model at it’s best.
“Pack ’em deep and vote ’em cheap.”
Corruption has been in the US for ages. Remember Tammany Hall?
So true. But they no longer have the power to keep it all hidden. Hence the freak out to take control.
My anecdotal observation is that only the incompetent police chiefs appear on TV, male and female.
And not one of them has less than 4 stars on their collars.
I have often wondered why a small-town police chief would have 4 stars on both collars of their uniform blouses. Anyone know why this is?
ummmm …. looks snazzy?
The ones who rush towards a camera are black. The rest of them are busy working to protect their cities.
Shelia Jackson Lee is one of the worst.
What? She represents the Texas 18th District in the house.
^^
SJL is always in front of the camera.
“The ones who rush towards a camera are black. The rest of them are busy working to protect their cities.”
That’s really not a fair statement.
It’s not race/color. It’s the Dem/socialist party which has always been the party of slavery and segregation.
Unfortunately a huge % of Blacks are Democrats, sadly… but I am hoping that will change.
It’s foolish for Blacks to be so controlled by any one political party. It’s foolish for any racial/ethnic group to permit that.
The Dem party has proven, over many decades, by their ACTIONS, not their words… that they want to keep Blacks down– on a plantation of sorts– because it is in the Dems political interest to do that — to keep Blacks angry, paranoid about being discriminated against, etc.
The proof of that is Chicago South side… really ALL dem controlled cities. Black Lives do NOT matter at all to the Dems… and that should be very obvious by now. Look at Baltimore… really any Dem controlled city.
If you watch TV you’re likely to think 3/4 of the US is black.
This country has nukes.
Be very afraid.
Well, these shining examples of our education system should drive all parents who care about their children to get those kids the heck out of the system. This kind of stupidity surely must have been deliberately taught.
I don’t necessarily disagree completely with you, Packrat. I would like to add my experience.
I taught 6th grade math. I soon discovered most of my students did not know how to read an analog clock nor had any idea of English standard or metric measures, among other gaps in basic math such as how to subtract.
Here’s a specific illustration . . . .
Almost every day, 5 days a week, for 3 mos. I included a 5-10 minute lesson on the concept of length: how to read a ruler, strategies for measuring when you don’t have a measuring device, practical application of measures (hands-on), personal measures (how long is your pointer finger, how tall are you, etc.). I has us singing songs about equivalences, we made up mnemonics, and I even used old fashioned drill and chanting. Diagrams on the walls, pictures of things measuring an inch, a foot, etc.
When we worked on other concepts and word problems, I incorporated measures into the task.
Every week I gave a 10 question quiz on measures. We corrected and reviewed.
Punch line: At the end of 3 months there was hardly any difference in at least half the students’ ability to estimate, measure, calculate, or apply length.
I share all this to point out that it’s not necessarily true that “this kind of stupidity surely must have been deliberately taught.”
“hardly any difference”
did you mean hardly any improvement?
And extremely gay.
That is the psychology the left, communists media is using!
Not sure this is really communism. It’s more like totalitarian fascism.
China, for example, is really not communist anymore. It is extreme state controlled capitalism (pure greed, no morals, no mercy, no ethics) … and the workers/the people are mere slaves of the state. It is the worst and most extreme capitalism, which also can be very destructive.
Only members of the CCP live decent lives by our standards. There exists only two classes in china: the rich and the very poor. No one in China is free. All must obey the dictates of the state regardless of station.
Communism always evolves into totalitarian fascism. This is why the hatred between commies and fascists is so ironic.
And almost all are married to whites with cute mixed race kids.
If whites are all so racist who do tv blacks want to marry them?
My wife says that TV programs and commercials lead you to conclude that we are equally populated by blacks, whites, and Asians. And that 1/3 to 1/2 of us are gay.
That overt messaging has been going on since Ozero was installed in the White House.
And all marriages are interracial.
Someday if I’m confined to quarters I will sit and record the representation of race/color on each msm network’s daytime and prime time shows, including commercials, just to quantify how the tube’s racial makeup compares to the Census’.
Seems to me that if the SCOTUS and college freshman class ought to “look like America,” the FCC has an obligation to ensure that ABC/NBC/CBS do too, no?
You see police chiefs on tv where there is trouble.. Ask yourself where most of the crime is… ask yourself the demographics of crime ridden areas… See where this is going? Not a mystery.
Same thing with judges.
Anecdotal EVIDENCE suggests that it is ONLY in CITIES that are controlled by the dem machine!!! and Soros of course…
Let us be sure to deal with merit or lack thereof. I’m certain if they had someone like former Sheriff David Clarke the place would be half empty right now and NO looting tolerated and a President like DJ Trump FEMA would already be setting up.
They are in charge of every Democrat Schiff hole.
Yes. That was the plan all along.
Police chiefs are ornaments found in big cities. Everywhere else has an elected sheriff or hired constable/Marshall. Police chiefs are appointed by mayors. Who elects mayors in big cities? There is your answer.
and the mayors old black
Digging deep into the pile for black folks who are not felons, graduated school, have 10th grade literacy. If 5% were black, it would be reasonable. But it seems like it is about 50% for big cities. It would be interesting to check out how many of these black police chiefs have felon relatives compared to white police chiefs.
Safety move against racist department allegations.
Sure seems that way. Hence the very low crime rates in all of the urban areas. Ditto for a lot of mayor’s in metropolitan areas. Again that’s why the crime is almost non existent!
Okay sarc off.
8 hrs? They must be using city workers. Go park a bus on the on ramps to block traffic and get moving. It ain’t like it’s a secret the storm is coming.
These people suck.
I think I grasped the entire story 4 words into the article
… actually 4 words into the Title, at “LaToya”
Gnomesayin’ ?
They need 8hrs trying to figure out how it is going be the fault of the Ex President.
I guess she’s never heard of the National Hurricane Center. They were watching the formation of this storm the first of this week.
What’s the chances the NHC has tried to contact her only to have their calls go unreturned?
And the path hasn’t changed much since then. SHM.
Good point.
Just like the debacle in Afghanistan… there is no excusing this either.
NHC certainly would warned the mayor.
Yeah but they all have those “tactical” shirts and jackets for every emergency.
Somehow, someone is going to blame PDJT for this storm. Just wait.
It’s almost like they get new threads each disaster.
Hurricane Katrina Part 2?!!?
Yes and we probably all remember who was in charge of that destruction, other than Katrina Part 1. Ray Nagin is out of prison now. He was released because of the plan-demic.
Maybe he will be able to help LaToya./s
So they’re instituting a Perish in Place policy?
Or in this case, Perish in Parish.
I’d’ve been disappointed if I didn’t see someone put that together!
that’s good, Maquis
you too, Holdout
I just love a good pun
Parish in place? See what I did, there?
Well, it does make it easier to seize guns after a storm
Not to worry.
Operation Dumpster Fire is in full swing. The mayor is in control.
Meanwhile, here on Earth….
Every person I know has a cell phone.
Every cell phone has weather.
Look at the phone, see the weather coming, leave.
Simple, really.
Never wait for the idiot officials to tell you to go.
Again the mucho-distracting side dancers. Only Ds have those— so far.
I have a degree in Meteorology and Atmospheric physics with an emphasis in severe weather tracking forecasting and fire weather forecasting. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is pretty damn good in forecasting, tracking and predicting tropical waves, Low pressure systems that develop into tropical depressions, tropical storms into hurricanes. It is a far from perfect science but very accurate enough to give up to a week’s warning on such storms. There is a public forecast and the forecast discussions with much more in depth meteorology lingo. Three days ago the warning were out about what is now Hurricane Ida and the probability of becoming a MAJOR hurricane as conditions are VERY favorable for IDA to gain more intensity and strength. There is NO excuse for the socialist Mayor and her minions to have not been following this and what is possibly coming. The track of Ida can still change and this is always mentioned in the forecast discussi0ons. Another commie liberal mayor failure.
No excuse not to have good, solid disaster preparedness plans in place, after all these years, which provide a template for the local officials, which keeps them from having to reinvent the wheel each time.
Exactly! After Katrina one would think this was done.
I bet there is a plan and they are too incompetent to know it and/or execute it.
This is why we have the expression “liberalism kill.”
They took over the schools for a reason, and too many people stood by thinking its hard to screw up education, let those people who can’t do anything else teach.
Well, they created a country full of dumbass liberals who can’t do anything, and they are now in positions of power.
It’s not if these idiots will get people killed, it’s how many of us will they kill.
You are right, there is no excuse.
The sad reality is, good and effective plans do exist, they are ignored by these politicians in the same way certain illegal activity is ignored.
It takes a lot of time to figure out the many ways to graft/steal FEMA monies devoted to fixin’ the levee system between all the levee board members appointed by the corrupt NO leadership, who also get their cut as well, over 6BILLION spent since Katrina. Bet anyone .25 that levees fail again and NO gets flooded, again, and it is President Trump’s fault.
I’m sure they’ve had countless $500/plate dinners to discuss the emergency planning, but when it comes to actually doing something these people are like a bunch of lost balls in tall rough.
Is it really a failure? The Dem/Commies foment chaos and destruction at every turn. Katrina 2.0 seems like a perfect crisis not to go to waste.
As before, the New Orleans Mayor is black, and a Democrat. And the Governor is a white Democrat (but male). But this time, the President is also a Democrat.
So who are they going to blame things on this time? White Supremacists and Climate Change?
Dear Lord, please deliver us from these idiots.
The last time it was Ray “Chocolate City” Nagan and he was able to deflect a lot of the criticism (Why the levies had never been repaired or the pumps improved) onto the Shrub, who deflected it on to Fema Director, “Good Job, Brownie” Brown. That albatross still ended up getting hung around Bush’s neck . Can you imagine the optics of Joe Biden (or worse, KAMALA!) touring a post-hurricane disaster area? Lord deliver us indeed!
I don’t believe the two unelected top people tour disasters. They are the disaster.
Never Fear! Cackling Camela will be dispatched in a few months to take control of the situation!
Kumswalla will be too busy preparing for her anointment as prezzident to bother w/touring the ravaged NO from hurricane Ida, maybe Susan Rice will fill in if she is not on the list to move in as vice prezzident.
Rice will be out on the news shows blaming the situation on a hateful video.
How the media handles this storm if it is as bad as Katrina and Biden’s “response” will provide an indicator whether his handlers have given up on keeping him around until after the midterms,
Or maybe the media already has (along with the Deep State) and they are just waiting for the right moment.
Never let a crisis go to waste–one of the core principles and tactics of the left.
I think they added a new principle. Never stop making crisises.
Always enhance a crisis for maximum control.
Or simply create one.
Maybe General Russel L. Honoré is no longer hunting down white supremacists in the Capital Police and can assist?
Lot’s of gun-owning, Bible-clinging, good ‘ol boy Trump voters in south Louisiana. General Honoré would have a “target-rich” environment if he needs to hunt down White Supremacist boogey men.
But they may not be inclined to give up their guns or go peacefully.
https://thecajunarmy.com/
Thank God for these people. They are awesome and 19,000 strong. This storm is in their backyard so I have faith they won’t need LaToya.
Gen. Honorless is an Obama knob polisher, period.
You know the answer: TRUMP!
They will still find a way to blame Orange Man. I bet that the stress of four years of white supremacy forced the population of Chocolate City to become reluctant to trust gubmint, which is institutionally racist.
They’ll blame it on Trump. And if that don’t work, they’ll reach back to Bush and blame it on him.
Or God
Climate Change….it’s all in their plan.
Dems playbook-rule #1- Let as many people as possible die. Blame people for the weather.
Rule #2-Do nothing and let things look as bad as possible.
Rule#3- Gather all the news media to rant about bad things are while allowing a disaster to occur.
Rule#4- Get to a microphone and camera quickly and yell about needing new legislation/taxes. to stop mother nature
Rule#5- It’s always Donald Trump’s fault.
Sadly no doubt you are correct.
Our team needs to be in full blame pile on mode. Non stop. No more Mr Nice Guy.
It’s not nice to let people off the hook or take it easy on them when their actions lead to people’s deaths. It’s criminal.
Yes, true. Ask the people of NY state about that re: Andrew Cuomo.
.
Yikes!
Where have I recently heard: “Just stay where you are. We can’t do anything to help you.”
Just another incompetent Demonic Democrat mucking things up. They voted for this. They F up everything they touch.
Everything they touch turns to $hit.
They have a nice stadium to go to so, forget about it.
They should park the school busses on high ground this time,
And provide flotation devices for the nursing home patients.
You have to have been vaxxed to enter that particular stadium or so the ads say
Tickets to see the Aints are going for a Dollar, and Ya Gotta be Jabbed.
NAH.
More depopulation. Not enough people in that area got the arm jab, so they are taking more drastic measures based on results of Katrina combined with the absolute morons running the show.
Dear Lord please send your angels to protect the people in the path of this storm.
Was she the Planner for Bitme’s Afghan evacuation plan too?!
There goes all those new cardboard houses, again. (as he said pointing in the direction of Haiti)
Serious question…Why is it that we watch the usual freak-out in NO over and over and over again, and Floridians, particularly us Crackers in SFL, hear of a coming hurricane and just start organizing a block party?
I’m entirely serious when I say that I would be ready for a cat 5 hurricane in about an hour.
And, don’t give me the “flooding” excuse because I’m situated below sea level.
“Why is it that we watch the usual freak-out in NO over and over and over again, and Floridians, particularly us Crackers in SFL, hear of a coming hurricane and just start organizing a block party?”
Because we are self reliant and learned a long time ago that preparedness is much easier than relying on the gov or anyone else to rescue and/or take care of us and our families.
/but you already knew this ?
No evacuation from NOLA? Houston is relieved.
Katrina was 16 years ago (almost to the day). Since then, $10s of billions have been spent to correct /improve infrastructure, equipment, and training to deal with what is a normal, recurring event, and the City of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana still cannot cope.
When will voters learn?
Nik, exactly, the decision is politically motivated. To your point they spent millions upon millions upon millions to restore and reinforce the levy system.
They need people to stay and showy the world- see we got this, government knows best!
The people targeted are too ignorant (I don’t mean that in a derogatory fashion) to know better. Most of these people rely on government for everything.
Do you still believe in (honest) voting? Unless the vote goes contrary to leftist’s desires I now assume it was stolen and I don’t believe the definition of “assume” applies to my conclusion.
Will they ever find someone who is not too lazy to keep the levies in working order?
“No evacuation from NOLA? Houston is relieved” is a 5 star comment, Nik. (I remember it like it was yesterday.)
Unfortunately, after parish leaders took their cut there wasn’t enough left over to make improvements.
Trained from birth in victimhood, she wallows in it and must enjoy seeing others do the same. No doubt she wants a Katrina 2.0 for her one moment of national fame. Remember Ray “school bus” “chocolate city” Nagan? In the aftermath, we learned that the city had an emergency evacuation plan on its website Nagan didn’t implement it. He waited for the federal government (not the state government) to rescue his peeps from the rooftops. It was his big opportunity to criticize “W”. He excelled at that. Sean Penn was on route with his row boat and his shot gun. Brian Williams SAID he watched bodies float by him as he broadcast from the luxurious French Quarter. This moron apparently wants her two minutes as well.
Katrina 2.0 but worse because democrats are in charge of everything now.
I recall that at places along I-10,I-12 there are already paved crossovers with barriers.Just reconfigure the barriers. I have NOAA weather on the CB and the Waether Cannel has been talking hurricane for days. They had plenty of time to prepare. Unless..no…no one can be this evil…maybe the Demonic Pedo Democrats want a disaster?Nahhh.
LaToya the “Destroya”
Demoncrats will fu*k up a cup of coffee.
New Orleans city government has been corrupted as long as I can remember. Heavely demoncrat. And the Edwards as in John Bell is soooooooo criminal just like the Cantrels. Its old money and demoncrat politics forever. And that is why it is the biggest dump in the south. Hate saying it but I grew up in that neck of the woods and Ive never seen it otherwise. There were some good areas there but few and far between. Great resturants also. But the city haw gone down down down for years.
Latoya the Destroya. She left the body of Jose Arreola dangling in the rubble of the Hard Rock hotel for almost a year. Now she wants more. This woman is evil.
My family’s there y’all, please pray for them xoxo
Jose’s dangling legs hanging out from under a red napkin became a Cult King Cake Accessory. Leave it to NOLA’s cognoscenti to overcome adversity with some gallows humour.
New Orleans, The City That Care Forgot.
Katrina 2.0. They can eliminate a lot of people this way too!
School busses is where the ousted Gov went very wtong. Instead of a parling lot, make it a life line, out.
So apparently, they want a bunch of African Americans to die. So what is the angle? Who gains from this? What racist and equity narrative will be spun?
No angle. They just don’t care.
So much blame. So little time.
Wow, she’s worthless.
Was she put in her job b/c she’s black?
Was she put in the job because she’s black?
Hmm, is the Pope catholic? Are Kennedys gunshy? Does Howdy-doody have a wooden butt? Do ducks fart underwater?
I would be willing to bet that her honor and her fat signer will be evacuated, by private jet.
The mayor must be related to Kirby, Gen. Milly, and Jake Sullivan. Sorry we don’t have enough time to get people out safely….
You ARE ON YOUR OWN!
What are the odds it’s going to hit on the 16th anniversary of Katrina? I mean really what are the odds?
On August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina hit the NOLA area as a Cat 4-5 hurricane. We all know the devastation, chaos and unnecessary loss of life from that one. Ralph Nagin was NOLA mayor at the time: a black democrat who decided to party in the quarter instead of evacuate his “people”. So for the current democratic mayor who is also black to react this way… deja vu? Or a policy of such leadership? I’m calling BS on her! Like Nagin, she knew this storm was brewing!!! Note: I live on the Alabama Gulf Coast and totally understand the dynamics of hurricanes and evacuations…there are several avenues OUT of the NO area, not just one way in/out as is where I live and we have no problem evacuating. And no, I AM NOT RACIST whatsoever, just making an observation. I don’t give a rats ass what one’s skin color is…my gauge of a person is the color of their heart. Sadly, seems there are a lot of dark ones out there today.
Have they blamed Trump or climate change yet?
Stay tuned!
After the Katrina disaster, corrupt New Orleans mayor Ray Nagel was asked by Meet the Press’ Tim Russert why school buses were not used to evacuate residents. Nagel responded that he could not get anyone to drive the buses. Russert, rather than pressing Nagel, moved on to the next question. That’s when I realized Russert was not the journalist everyone said he was. It also affirmed that Nagel was a hack. Perfect symmetry. Two hacks pretending they’re competent in their jobs and getting paid tons of money.
Is it possible Biden could have a Katrina, Saigon, and Iran hostage crisis all in the same month?
And then when her citizens die, she’ll blame everyone but herself.
Person doing the sign language indicated that Mayor LaToilet is corrupt and should be arrested….
Everything woke turns to shit.
You’d think there has never been a hurricane in Louisiana…
Everyone, everywhere, for the most part prefers to be ruled by their own, even when their own are less competent than others. It’s why he have different nations on the planet, to codify our tribal relationships.
That is why diversity is not a strength, and why like other multi-culti, multi-ethnic, multi-religious nations, America is now weak and fatally divided, prone to conflict and disorder and even civil wars and partition (see India, Yugoslavia, Ottoman Empire, Roman Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, British Empire, Spanish Empire, Russian Empire etc.)
Imo, black New Orleans should have a black response to hurricanes and everything else.
If you are enough of a moron to wait for these morons to make sure you and your family are safe, then you deserve what you get. It is time to turn the tv off and limit time on the internet. Those two things ARE THE ROOT TO OUR PROBLEMS TODAY.
I love the Affirmative Action sign language lady. Is it racist of me to wonder if she is signing english, ebonics, or gibberish?
Sounds like she needs a promotion to Secretary of Defense or Chairmen JCS, she would fit right in…’we don’t have the capability‘. Most leadership in this Country even at the state and local level is a complete joke.
When the disaster emerges, how long until we hear, “Biden don’t care about black people.”?
nope, Trump and Repubs don’t care about “climate change” and are purposely killing black people. i.e. hurricaines are racist.
Democrats specialize in abondonment. Kabuland New zOrleans.
Now where have I seen this movie before……hmmm; oh yeah Katrina. Dems want you dead.
Who is running FEMA you ask.
Her name is Deanne Criswell.
Her major claim to fame is that she was in charge of NY City’s response to China Virus under Mayor DeBlasio in 2020.
Notable accomplishments:
Sealing off a Jewish Neighborhood.
Leaving ALL the assets sent by President Trump to assist NY City UNUSED.
Need any more be said about FEMA response??
You can’t ram Climate Change policy through without a horrific catastrophe, with 24/7 coverage of human suffering.
And you can’t have human suffering (for the film crews) if you responsibly lead your city using modern meteorology and best practices in emergency preparedness.
Bonuses: Moving photos of Kamala hugging displaced persons in the aftermath, Afghanistan out of the headlines, election audit … what audit?
The chocolate mayor sabotaged the evac during Katrina also. People keep voting democrat hoping for a different result.
When the gov say it’s too late to leave, then you leave. Don’t trust bureaucrats with your life, ever.
But first…everybody get a vax…am i right?
Let’s take a poll what day will the looting start? Will the school buses be moved to higher ground or will they all get flooded again and have to be replaced? This will be a test to see if anything at all was learned from Katrina! Godspeed residents of Louisiana!
