Fox News Actually Asked Bush's Failed FEMA Administrator About Hurricane Ian. Sheesh.

Former FEMA Administrator Michael Brown appeared on Thursday’s edition of Your World with Neil Cavuto to share his insights on the government’s response to Hurricane Ian.

Brown was head of FEMA when Hurricane Katrina slammed into Gulf Coast states in 2005. The storm and resulting floods killed more than 1,800 people. He was heavily criticized for his handling of the disaster and relieved of his duties less than two weeks after Katrina made landfall. Three days later, he tendered his resignation.

A federal judge on Thursday spared former President Donald Trump and his lawyers from having to submit a sworn declaration about whether they believe the FBI inaccurately summarized the items seized from his South Florida home.

James Madison defeated DeWitt Clinton in 1812 to secure a second term in the White House. To commemorate his inauguration, a craftsman from Paris made him a crystal flute.

Hurricane Ian's "extremely dangerous" eyewall moves onshore in southwest Florida

Hurricane Ian's "extremely dangerous" eyewall moves onshore in southwest Florida

Hurricane Ian's "extremely dangerous" eyewall was moving onshore in southwest Florida late Wednesday morning, just hours after it grew into a Category 4 storm. It was packing sustained winds of 155 mph — making it just shy of a Category 5 hurricane, which is the most powerful storm possible.

My heart breaks for all those in the path of this monster hurricane.

When the hurricane hits Florida, federal aid will flow into help — paid for by tax dollars from Americans across the country. Airplanes will be full of supplies, not stunts. There will be no "us" and "them." Because this is how America should act, and most Americans know it. - Dan Rather

DeSantis Appointee Resigns Due To KKK Ties, In Other Words, He Got Caught.

A Florida official appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis abruptly resigned on Friday after a photo that appeared to show him in a Ku Klux Klan robe and hood surfaced.

John McCain Approved

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) is leading Republican challenger Blake Masters by 10 points in his bid for reelection, according to the latest Marist Institute for Public Opinion poll.

With the midterm elections just around the corner, 51 percent of registered voters in Arizona say they support Kelly while 41 percent are backing Masters.

I’m not a journalist, so I can’t say whether Maggie Haberman is doing her job appropriately.

I am a lawyer, though, so I can say her failure to report Trump’s felonies upon discovering them — saving them for her book instead — appears to be misprision, which is itself a felony. - Tristan Snell
