The Latest
Over 190 Dead, Thousands Missing in Wake of Hurricane Helene
Hurricane Helene has resulted in the deaths of over 190 people, primarily in
North Carolina, with hundreds still missing and severe destruction across the
southeastern U.S.
Significant challenges remain, with nearly one million people still without
power across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, and entire villages
like Chimney Rock reportedly devastated.
President Biden has deployed 1,000 active-duty soldiers to aid in relief
efforts, while former President Trump’s GoFundMe campaign has raised over $4
million for hurricane victims.
Country music star Morgan Wallen donated $500,000 to the American Red Cross,
bolstering the aid efforts for impacted communities. Read More.

FEMA Lacks Funds for Hurricane Relief After Allocating Over $1 Billion to
Immigrant Housing
The Biden-Harris administration has come under fire as FEMA claims it lacks
sufficient funds to handle future hurricanes despite spending over $1 billion
in fiscal year 2024 on housing and supporting illegal immigrants.
FEMA, which is tasked with disaster relief, allocated significant funding to
shelter and food for non-citizens, raising concerns about its ability to manage
natural disasters such as hurricanes.
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas indicated that FEMA is
underfunded for the hurricane season, especially after the severe damage caused
by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina and other areas.
Critics argue that FEMA's resources are being misallocated, with disaster
response potentially compromised due to the large outlays for non-citizen
assistance. Read More.

Longshoremen Strike Halts Trade from Maine to Texas, Supply Line Chaos
Expected to Worsen
The massive East Coast port strike has disrupted cargo operations from Maine
to Texas, driven by workers' concerns over automation and demands for higher
wages.
The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) seeks a $5 per hour wage
increase and stronger protections against automation, while the United States
Maritime Alliance (USMX) offers a 50 percent wage increase over six years.
The strike, now in its third day, could cost the U.S. economy $2.1 billion per
week, primarily affecting perishable goods like bananas and imported products
such as wine, cocoa, and liquor.
The strike occurs during a critical period ahead of the U.S. elections, with
both the Biden administration and former President Trump addressing the
economic and political implications.Read More.

Biden-Harris Administration Delays Release of Hunter Biden Records Until After
2024 Election
The Biden-Harris administration, with the help of the National Archives, is
delaying the release of records related to Hunter Biden's business dealings
until after the 2024 presidential election.
The records potentially contain significant information regarding Joe Biden’s
communications as vice president and his connections to Hunter Biden’s business
ventures.
Conservative group America First Legal criticized the delay, arguing that the
Biden-Obama legal teams are concealing potentially damaging information from
the public ahead of the election.
The documents in question include emails involving Hunter Biden’s business
associates and discussions regarding financial disclosures for the Biden family.

Hundreds of National Security Leaders Endorse Trump, Citing Biden-Harris
Championed Global Instability
Hundreds of national security officials, former diplomats, and military
leaders have endorsed former President Donald Trump, citing concerns about
global instability and the Biden-Harris administration’s foreign policy
failures.
The officials argue that the world is closer to a third world war than ever
before, pointing to Trump’s focus on maintaining peace and strengthening the
military during his presidency.
The endorsement letter highlighted the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal as a key
failure of the Biden administration, which resulted in the deaths of American
service members and left military equipment in the hands of the Taliban.
The letter includes signatures from prominent figures like former Secretary
of State Mike Pompeo, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and Gold Star
families, emphasizing their belief that Trump’s foreign policy was more
effective.Read More.

Trump Gains Edge Over Kamala Among Arab-American Voters
A recent Arab American Institute poll shows that former President Donald Trump
now holds a slight lead over Vice President Kamala Harris among Arab-American
voters, with 42 percent supporting Trump compared to 41 percent for Harris.
Enthusiasm among Arab-American Republicans is higher than that of their
Democratic counterparts, with 80 percent of Republican voters showing
enthusiasm compared to 67 percent of Democrats.
The Biden-Harris administration's policies on Israel and Gaza have
significantly affected Arab-American voter support, with many feeling
disenfranchised due to the administration's continued support for Israel.
Prominent Arab-American figures and movements, including the mayor of
Hamtramck, Michigan, and the No Ceasefire No Vote organization, have voiced
strong opposition to Harris's stance, further shifting support toward Trump.

Gretchen Whitmer Set to Approve Controversial Bill Redirecting Family
Caretakers' Pay to Unions
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is expected to sign a bill that would
classify in-home family caretakers as public employees, allowing unions to
collect fees from them.
The bill, supported by Democrats, mandates that caretakers undergo an
orientation where union representatives can promote unionization despite the
Supreme Court ruling that public employees cannot be forced to join unions.
Critics argue the bill will take money from hardworking family members caring
for loved ones to fund union activities, which may ultimately support
Democratic campaigns.
The AARP opposes the legislation, citing concerns that it would burden family
caretakers with union fees, even if they choose not to join.Read More.

U.S.-Canada Border Crossings Surge 50-Fold under Biden-Harris
Illegal border crossings along the U.S.-Canada border have surged more than
50-fold under the Biden-Harris administration, particularly in the Swanton
sector of northern New York.
In fiscal year 2024, over 19,000 migrants from 97 countries were apprehended
in this sector, with at least 321 terror suspects identified.
The northern border has become a more favorable route due to fewer barriers,
less law enforcement, and the Biden administration’s asylum restrictions mainly
impacting the southern border.
Local residents have witnessed migrant smuggling firsthand, with some being
advised by Border Patrol to carry firearms for personal safety. Read More.

Unexpected Spike in Heart Attacks Among the Young and Fit, Experts Point to
Covid Vaccines
The article highlights an alarming increase in heart attacks among young,
slim, and fit individuals, a condition once predominantly associated with older
adults.
Various factors are believed to contribute to the rise, including the Covid
pandemic, increased stress, substance abuse, and poor lifestyle choices like
bad diets and sedentary habits.
Doctors note the connection between Covid and heart inflammation, as well as
increased cases of diabetes and obesity, which contribute to higher
cardiovascular risk in younger populations.
Some medical professionals suggest the pandemic’s lockdown effects and
undiagnosed chronic conditions exacerbated heart health issues, especially
among younger adults. Read More.

What’s Next
What is “hate speech”?
When you hear the term, you likely think of an unhinged person attacking
others for attributes they can't help, with the sole purpose of causing
emotional harm.
In other words, you probably thought of someone wantonly using an epithet to
disparage someone of a different race.
And while this may be speech that is hateful, is it “hate speech”?
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees Americans’ right to
free speech.
There are no asterisks or exceptions, which is why it should disturb every
American citizen that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz embraced government censorship in
this week’s vice presidential debate.
When Sen. JD Vance confronted Walz over his previous support for government
suppression of “misinformation,” Walz acknowledged that he also wanted
“threatening or hate speech” similarly barred from public discourse.
Efforts to suppress “misinformation” during the Covid pandemic relied heavily
on Big Tech, at the government’s behest, removing and suppressing speech and
social media accounts contradicting establishment narratives.
“Misinformation” included vaccine skepticism, discussing the lab leak theory,
and questioning the validity of social distancing and lockdowns.
As it turns out, the people who were spreading “misinformation” were
vindicated in not believing the government’s narratives because these
narratives were false.
Experimental gene therapies turned out not to be totally safe. The lab leak
theory turned out to be a completely valid explanation for Covid’s origin.
Lockdowns and social distancing policies were not backed by scientific findings.
“Misinformation” at the time simply meant “things the government didn’t want
you to talk about.”
Hate speech laws will undoubtedly have a similar effect.
Just look at how the left treats people who disagree with transgender ideology
and critical race theory. Or even how they react to skepticism of U.S. foreign
policy.
“Hate speech” is speech that offends the left’s sensibilities. That’s it.
Laws attempting to curb it will not stop with the hypothetically
good-intentioned desire to end bigotry.
They will expand into every aspect of our lives and have a horrifically
chilling effect on free speech.
