Maybe, just maybe, there is a mustard seed of hope….
We are suspending our fundraising and urging everyone to send any available funds to flood relief for these folks hit by this horrible devastation. pic.twitter.com/ckIZVOxrdi

Sometimes someone has something to say that just encapsulates things nicely.
The same could be said about EV charging stations.
I digress….
Today at 2:00pm ET, President Donald J. Trump, will visit Valdosta, Georgia to receive a briefing on the devastation of Hurricane Helene, facilitate the distribution of relief supplies, and deliver remarks to the press.

Likely unknown to most readers, tens-of-thousands of Florida residents have homes and cabins in Western North Carolina (WNC). It is an inside joke in the region about the number of Florida tags on cars there. This is a smart move in principle and in politics by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Giving an update from Steinhatchee, Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis was asked about communication from Joe Biden. Governor DeSantis pointed out that he has not spoken with Biden; however, he would recommend that all available FEMA and Federal recovery efforts be directed immediately to the Western North Carolina region.
DeSantis accurately describes and contrasts the unique challenges faced by people living in the WNC area. WATCH:

This is one of those situations where good policy is good politics.
First, my perspective for new readers. I generally support private sector labor unions. I did not always support them. I do not support public sector unions, nor the leadership of most labor unions in general who politicize their activity. In our modern era, the baseline for organized labor to support the interests of their blue-collar workforce is valid.
Against the backdrop of the larger geopolitical dynamic, I would make the case that, similar to the solidarity movement of the mid 1980’s, organizing the general workforce is going to be the last-resort backstop measure to block ideological western government and corporate intentions.
Populism, nationalism and MAGA specifically, needs a unity alliance with organized private sector labor.
I also believe President Trump sees the looming importance of this relationship as made visible by his support for the Teamsters union during the RNC convention.
Consider what we witnessed and endured with the forced worker vaccination programs of 2021. I do not like the idea of politicized labor but contemplate how organized labor could have been used to pushback against the diminishment of liberty. There is a potential for value; thus, I evaluate organized apolitical labor as a potential pragmatic ally.
That said, let us discuss the looming strike by The International Longshoreman’s Association, which represents 50,000 East and Gulf Coast dockworkers.
There are a lot of economic impacts that can be created by a dockworker strike; they range from inconvenient to severe depending on the industry and sector therein. With the U.S. manufacturing base diminished, imported goods now represent the system to deliver essential products into our nation.
In Austria the Freedom Party (FPO) consisting of Austria-First populists, has won the largest vote of support from the electorate. However, just like Germany, France and the Netherlands, the lesser parties within current government have pledged to unite and form a government against the largest bloc.
The election platform of the Freedom Party was called “Fortress Austria,” outlining popular positions: strict border controls, deportation of “uninvited foreigners,” the end to sanctions against Russia, the end of military aid to Ukraine, and to walk away from the European Sky Shield Initiative, a missile defense project launched by Germany.
The overall positions are pragmatic and popular. The proposed moderate energy policies would likely drop prices. The Freedom Party is led by Herbert Kickl, who has pledged a more pragmatic form of government, while criticizing the elites in Brussels. The Freedom Party won the largest support bloc in the election with 29.1 percent of the vote. The media immediately labeled them “far-right.”
In the USA two parties represent the republican form of government; they unite on policy and we have a UniParty outcome. In many nations throughout Europe, within the parliamentary process that structures government, they have an assembly parties that similarly unite and block the insurgency of the major party.
The Austrian People’s Party and the Social Democrats have agreed to unite and stop the Austria-First Freedom Party from forming a government. They refuse to allow the nation to be led by Herbert Kickl. As a consequence, the largest party in Austria, the party with the most popular positions and the greatest number of votes, will be blocked from governing.
The ‘unreal’ part, is to watch North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper read from a teleprompter –ON DAY THREE– about the devastation in Western North Carolina that is only just now starting to surface in mainstream media reporting. I’m trying not to be political within this crisis, but seriously here folks, this is incompetency on steroids. A Friggin’ Teleprompter?
Governor Cooper outlines ‘what he knows’ about a situation that has been increasingly getting out of control over the past 48 hours. Ordinary patriots have done more to save lives than any representative of Cooper’s state government. Watch closely, listen as Cooper positions himself amid proactive excuses and justifications for the unfolding catastrophe.
Governor Cooper is trying to avoid the political damage now for himself and for Joe Biden; it’s obvious. Remember, this is DAY #3 WATCH:
.
On the upside, now the political continuum has swung, and the risk variable has shifted. As a consequence, aid will start pouring into Western North Carolina as the politicos attempt to create the optics of magnanimous competency.
They are suddenly super worried about Asheville. Can’t have the leftists in the deep blue, getting full awake to the incompetence of leftism. However, help will also start to flow further west too. That’s cool. At least, people are finally going to get help.
I have tongue-in-cheek called attention to the unstable mindset of the Ukrainian extremists, frequently in alignment with the “alligator emoji” people, by saying “Slava Ukrani.” At the end of my purposefully Freudian snark (misnomer I know), it was always the intent to draw attention to the rabid ideological outlook of those who promote World War Reddit.
However, putting aside prior snark, deep inside this unstable and tribal mindset there exists a very real and dangerous proclivity toward violence. Given the nature of how the IC has positioned Iran to be the suspect of any foreign assassination attempt upon President Trump. Personally, I consider that proactive narrative as a deflection from the very real foreign violence threat represented by those who are Ukranian extremists.
In essence, if there was to be any further attempt on the life of President Trump, specifically related to the reports of extremely dangerous weapons (missiles) smuggled into the United States, the most likely nationality of the trigger operators would be Ukraine, not Iran. The second assassination attempt by a Ukraine sympathizer Ryan Routh only underscores the view.
Under the guise of sympathy toward Ukraine, the UniParty power brokers in Washington DC have made substantial financial deposits toward their endeavors. Yes, within the U.S-Ukraine relationship there are billions at stake; and it is within that reality the origination of any threat to Donald Trump must be reviewed.
Adding context to this violent outlook, yet another unstable ‘Slava Ukraini’ story surfaces. Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (Tampa, Florida) received death threats from her democrat opponent, William Braddock, who then fled to the Philippines and was recently captured.
Today, President Trump returns to the keystone state for a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania. Arguably, Pennsylvania represents the battleground state of most focus for both the Trump and Harris campaigns.
President Trump is scheduled to speak at 2:00pm ET, with livestream links below:

Elon Musk sent the entire world a significant and consequential alarm message on Sunday, September 29, 2024 at 11:11am. [Here is the LINK]
The complete message is below.
ELON MUSK – “Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!
Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years.
The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!!
Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying “asylum seekers”, who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election.
America then becomes a one-party state and Democracy is over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty.
The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America. Once the whole country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape.
Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco.” ~Elon Musk
