Hurricane Ian is intensifying rapidly and on track to hit Florida on Wednesday. Hurricane warnings are in place throughout Grand Cayman and Cuba, with storm surge watches in effect for the Florida Keys all the way up to Tampa Bay as Ian moves northwest, according to the National Hurricane Center. The center is urging residents throughout the warning areas to rush preparations to protect their lives and property. “Cuba is expecting extreme hurricane force winds, also life threatening storm surge and heavy rainfall,” NHC senior specialist Daniel Brown told The Associated Press on Monday. Hurricane Ian is not expected to hover over Cuba, but strengthening is anticipated as the storm sits over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, the AP continued. Evening model consensus now shows Hurricane #Ian making a direct hit on Tampa Bay, likely at a Category 3 strength. This is a near-worst case scenario for one of the most storm-surge flood vulnerable cities in the world. … [Read more...] about Forecasters Warn Major Storm To Hit Florida In Coming Days

“We’re going to make it possible for musicians today to do something I never could, to make enough money so they don’t have to work fulltime while trying to be an artist.” So says Scott Arey, CEO of Community Musician, front man and songwriter for his latest band The Lost Cavaliers of Mercy.  As a young musician, Scott signed with Warner Music and began touring as a warm-up act for the Indigo Girls, but he quickly discovered he couldn’t make enough money to pay his bills.  Nothing has changed in the last 30 years.  If anything, it’s gotten even harder for musicians to earn a living wage. But now Scott’s literally got a card up his sleeve he didn’t have in the early days, the “Collectible Music Card”, a patented product he’s going to bring to music fans around the world. “A few years ago I was lucky enough to become involved with a company that wanted to do a gift card but didn’t completely understand how to execute it. I had already explored the concept of the music card and I had … [Read more...] about It’s In The Cards: Could Scott Arey Being Holding All The Aces?

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz, who attacked President Donald Trump for his response to the hurricane devastion in Puerto Rico, has previously praised FALN terrorist leader Oscar Lopez Rivera. Yulin Cruz is a member of Puerto Rico’s Popular Democratic Party that wants the island to remain a U.S. territory. But she sounded more like a member of the island’s Independence Party in a video that surfaced back in January when President Barack Obama commuted the sentence of Rivera Lopez. The mayor is shown praising the convicted Puerto Rican terrorist in the video below. “Hello, San Juan. Freedom for Oscar Lopez Rivera.. soon he will be with us. We have to thank every Puerto Rican man and woman, who for a long time, many of us didn’t know Oscar Lopez Rivera. He was fighting the fight,” she said. “We’re going to give you more details when we welcome this great Puerto Rican patriot in a cause that unites us and to know that, in spite of our differences, we can do big things in … [Read more...] about San Juan Mayor Praised Convicted FALN Terrorist

FEMA administrator Brock Long defended a series of tweets from President Trump blasting San Juan’s mayor for criticizing the relief efforts following Hurricane Maria. In an interview on CNN, Long suggested that Carmen Yulin Cruz, the mayor of Puerto Rico’s capital city, has failed to connect with a command center FEMA set up on the island to help with the relief effort. “The problem that we have with the mayor unfortunately is that unity of command is ultimately what’s needed to be successful in this response,” Long told CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield. “What we need is for the mayor, the good mayor, to make her way to the joint field office and get plugged into what’s going on and be successful,” he continued, adding that, “I think that’s the bottom line on that tweet.” Earlier in the day, Trump blasted Cruz over what he apparently saw as criticism over his response to the Category 4 hurricane, which hit Puerto Rico on Sept. 20. The storm destroyed much of Puerto Rico’s power grid … [Read more...] about FEMA Chief Defends Trump Tweets, Dings San Juan Mayor [VIDEO]

New Orleans, Louisiana, is adding dozens of civilian employees to its police department amid an ongoing staffing crisis, according to police. The New Orleans Police Department is hiring 50 to 75 civilians amid a staffing crisis to reduce the workload on officers and decrease the police response time, NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson said in a Thursday press conference. Civilians will respond to calls that do not require police presence and answer the phones and take some of the workload from administrative police officers, and some civilians will be trained to take over detective work, according to Ferguson. WATCH: “As we take calls over the phone, there may be some evidence that needs to be collected with that call,” Ferguson said. “We’ll have civilian investigators to go out and collect that evidence instead of an officer having to go out there and collect that evidence.” (RELATED: 43-Time Felon Charged With Woman’s Murder While Out On Bond) The department has … [Read more...] about Desperate Blue City To Hire Civilians Amid Police Shortage, Violent Crime Spike

If New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is elected the first female president of the United States, her first act will be to clean the Oval Office with bleach, she said at Wednesday’s Democratic presidential debate. Gillibrand was not seeking to reinforce gender stereotypes. Instead, like most Democrats on stage in Detroit, she was taking a shot at President Donald Trump. Gillibrand worked in her joke after being asked about her support for the Green New Deal, the multi-trillion-dollar plan by many estimates that progressives have proposed to address climate change and income inequality. “You’re a cosponsor of the Green New Deal, which includes the guarantee of a job with medical leave, paid vacations and retirement security for everyone in America. Explain how that’s realistic?” CNN moderator Dana Bash asked Gillibrand. “So, the first thing that I’m going to do when I’m president is I’m going to Clorox the Oval Office,” Gillibrand replied.

Amid the party’s financial struggles, some Democrats are struggling with the notion of returning donations from embattled billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein, who has been charged in a high-profile sex trafficking case, donated to many Democratic committees and campaigns in the early 1990s and 2000s. There are some politicians who have returned Epstein’s contributions such as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer , who donated his campaign contributions from Epstein of more than $7,000 he received decades ago. Schumer’s donations will go to charities that combat violence against women and anti-sex trafficking. There are others who question why these donations, made years ago should be taken off their books. Don Fowler, DNC Chairman from 1995-1997 didn’t see the concern of keeping his contributions from Epstein. NEW: The DNC and DSCC are declining to say whether they will donate or give back Jeffrey Epstein contributions. Former DNC chair Don Fowler when I asked if … [Read more...] about Some Democrats May Keep Thousands Of Dollars In Donations From Jeffrey Epstein
