The storm saw at least 27 tornadoes touch down in Florida.

Sit back, relax, and let’s Break It Down in episode 35...

Vibrio vulnificus are found in warm coastal waters and can cause very nasty infections.

On Thursday’s installment of  Comedy Central's The Daily Show, host Jordan Klepper claimed to uncover the reason why Kamala Harris is trailing by 12 points among male voters: sexism. Klepper’s unoriginal “insight” led him to claim that “right-wingers” believe that if you vote for a woman, “your penis evaporates.” After a clip of NBC’s Steve Kornacki delivering the news, Klepper sarcastically reacted, “Wow, 12 points! Really? That's a lot. I mean, surely, men would be open-minded about having a female president.”     Klepper then pretended to read a book called The Entire History of Men and came to the conclusion, “So, perhaps this shouldn't come as a huge surprise. There's a reason why America has the same number of female presidents as the Taliban. There's a certain type of person who thinks that voting for a woman makes you less of a man. And that type of person is on TV.” Women, including Republican women, have been getting elected in this country for years and conservative women have led other countries for years, but none of that stopped Klepper from playing a montage of conservative media personalities claiming no real man could vote for a Democrat. Afterwards, Klepper tried to mock what he considered to be conservative hypocrisy on the matter, “Exactly! Republicans are the party of real men. Real, tough men who are strong, and love America, and won't back down, and hate Democrat-run cities because there's so many scary people there! ‘Oh, mama, please don't let me get murdered when I'm crossing the street! Oh, god, mommy, the streets are dirty and there are immigrants! Please, please send Donald Trump to help me, mommy! I'm so scared!’” He added, “That's how a real man feels! But that's what right-wingers believe. If you're a man who votes for a woman, your penis evaporates. And then you just walk out of the voting booth with a smooth mound with an ‘I voted’ sticker on it.” Klepper would continue the bit, mocking what he considered trivial critiques of Tim Walz’s masculinity. He would also team up with Troy Iwata to suggest "ingrained homophobia" has something to do with it. He did not, however, try to come up with a serious explanation for Democrats’ problem because if Harris is trailing by 12 among men, it is not just conservative TV pundits who oppose her. Here is a transcript for the October 10 show: Comedy Central The Daily Show 10/10/2024 11:03 PM ET JORDAN KLEPPER: But while an improving economy is a boost to Kamala Harris, she's got another big problem on her hands. JONATHAN LEMIRE: What is becoming a growing concern among Democrats and the Harris campaign, that she is, indeed, struggling with male voters. STEVE KORNACKI: Among men, Trump has a sizable lead. He's beating Harris by 12 points. KLEPPER: Wow, 12 points! Really? That's a lot. I mean, surely, men would be open-minded about having a female president. You know what, hang on, let me check something. Okay. Let me see. All right, here. Okay. All right. Oh, no. Seriously? Okay. Whoa! Oh, god. Oh, god. All right. Oh, my. Yeah. Oh, okay. No, no, no that checks out. Yeah, that checks out. So, perhaps this shouldn't come as a huge surprise. There's a reason why America has the same number of female presidents as the Taliban. There's a certain type of person who thinks that voting for a woman makes you less of a man. And that type of person is on TV. GRAHAM ALLEN: No real man would ever vote for Kamala Harris. JESSE WATTERS: I don't see why any man would vote Democrat [jump cut]. That person has mommy issues or they're just trying to be accepted by other women. CHRIS PLANTE: I vote like a real man. And I vote for the conservative. BATYA UNGAR-SARGON: The Democratic Party has been emasculating men for decades. CARL HIGBIE: Kamala Harris picking up a shovel. It's like she's never used one before. TUCKER CARLSON: If you want weak men and the angry women around them, like, that's the party for you, for sure. KLEPPER: Exactly! Republicans are the party of real men. Real, tough men who are strong, and love America, and won't back down, and hate Democrat-run cities because there's so many scary people there! Oh, mama, please don't let me get murdered when I'm crossing the street! Oh, god, mommy, the streets are dirty and there are immigrants! Please, please send Donald Trump to help me, mommy! I'm so scared!  That's how a real man feels! But that's what right-wingers believe. If you're a man who votes for a woman, your penis evaporates. And then you just walk out of the voting booth with a smooth mound with an "I voted" sticker on it.

Democrats are panicking over recent indications that American men don't particularly like Kamala Harris and are increasingly gravitating toward President Donald Trump. Rather than do some soul-searching or find a way to engage with this disaffected demographic, Harris boosters are instead dusting off a failed strategy that didn't exactly help Hillary Clinton in 2016: Accuse them all of misogyny. The Democratic meltdown was fueled further by the telling results of a recent nationwide New York Times/Siena College poll. When asked who they would vote for if the election were held today, 51% of likely male voters said they would cast a ballot for Trump. Only 40% of men said they would vote for Harris. This is more or less an inversion of the results among likely female voters, 53% of whom said they would vote for Harris and 38% of whom said they would vote for Trump. Harris' relative unpopularity among male voters, particularly Hispanics, might come to bite her in swing states such Arizona and Nevada, where a recent Suffolk University/USA TODAY survey revealed that men under 50 are choosing Trump over the vice president. Among Hispanic men ages 18-34 in Arizona, 51% said they planned to vote for Trump. Only 39% said they would bother voting for Harris. 57% of Hispanic men ages 35-49 said they would vote for Trump. 37% in that cohort said they would vote for Harris. Among Hispanic men ages 18-34 in Nevada, 53% said they would vote for Trump, and 40% said they would vote for Harris. These numbers held among Hispanic male respondents ages 35-49, where 53% said they would vote for Trump and 39% said they would vote for Harris. 'The message is too feminine: "Everything you're doing is destroying the planet."' A Democratic donor told The Hill, "Men are gone, at least for this cycle." "I don't think people understand what a big problem we have on our hands with men," said a prominent Democratic strategist. "Black men, Hispanic men, men in general." Democratic strategist James Carville understands full well the diminished appeal of the Democratic Party among red-blooded American men and has been sounding the alarm for several months. When discussing President Joe Biden's unpopularity earlier this year, Carville told the New York Times' Maureen Dowd, "A suspicion of mine is that there are too many preachy females" dominating the culture of the Democratic Party. "'Don't drink beer. Don't watch football. Don't eat hamburgers. This is not good for you,'" said Carville. "The message is too feminine: 'Everything you're doing is destroying the planet. You've got to eat your peas.'" "If you listen to Democratic elites — NPR is my go-to place for that — the whole talk is about how women, and women of color, are going to decide this election," added Carville. "I'm like: 'Well, 48% of the people that vote are males. Do you mind if they have some consideration?'" Carville stressed that "feminine" browbeating coupled with the left's "faculty lounge" attitudes and "woke stuff" is ballot-box poison. Rather than address this underlying issue, Democrats have ostensibly worked harder to alienate men since replacing Biden with Harris on the ticket. CNN host Dana Bash suggested around the time of the Democratic National Convention in August that to the extent Harris' party has attempted to appeal to men, it is specifically those with testosterone deficits and an aversion to the kind of machismo displays that helped make America great. "There's the gender gap. Then there's the idea that for the last month, the Democratic Party has been rallying around a woman at the top of the ticket," said Bash. "Which is — the only other time they did it, which is in 2016. And it has been noteworthy to see how they are learning about what to do and how to confront Donald Trump as the opponent to a woman. 2016 and now — very different campaigns, very different female candidates." 'The not-subtle message of Trump's campaign is, "If you're a 'real' man, you're for me."' "They are doing so in trying to put forward male figures, Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff last night, who can speak to men out there who might not be the sort of testosterone-laden, you know, gun-toting kind of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan and the kind of players that came out at the RNC or might want to listen to that," said Bash. "But also, in addition, understand that it's okay in 2024 to be a man comfortable in his own skin who supports a woman." Democratic strategist Christy Setzer signaled to The Hill that Harris' disfavor with men will be spun as a byproduct of misogyny. "She has a problem with men for the same reason Hillary Clinton did: because misogyny exists, as do outdated ideas about who should hold the presidency," said Setzer. "Meanwhile, Trump has doubled down on this 'strong man' machismo and dictators act, playing 'It's a Man's World' at his rallies." It's unclear whether Setzer thinks that getting up covered in one's own blood, then confidently yelling "fight" after surviving an assassination attempt qualifies as an "act." "The not-subtle message of Trump's campaign is, 'If you're a "real" man, you're for me,'" continued Setzer. "That 1950s mindset is still appealing to some, unfortunately." Jim Manley, another Democratic strategist, apparently got the memo, telling The Hill, "It's ridiculous to have to say this in 2024, but not everyone is ready to vote for a qualified woman to be president of the United States." The misogyny narrative is currently making the rounds on networks ostensibly happy to overlook Doug Emhoff's history of alleged abuse. 'You just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president.' "[Harris] has got such a big problem with men," MSNBC talking head Andrea Mitchell recently complained. "I think think there's an under-count of the Trump vote. I think there's misogynation in all of this. Black and white men: big problem. But also, the business world, they don't think she is serious." The Guardian indicated that former President Barack Obama has been unable to contain his desperation, telling "the brothers" in Pennsylvania to fall in line. "We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running. Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers," said Obama. "You're coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses. I've got a problem with that." "Part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you're coming up with other alternatives and reasons for that," added Obama. The Lincoln Project — an anti-Trump group best known for staging a fake white supremacist rally in 2021 to smear then-candidate Glenn Youngkin ahead of the Virginia gubernatorial election, whose co-founder John Weaver reportedly had a habit of sexually harassing young men online — recently ran a pro-Harris ad, stating, "It's time to be a man and vote for a woman." Time will tell whether American men will oblige Democratic strategists, Obama, and the false flag outfit and do as they are told. Like Blaze News?

During a Thursday press briefing, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) came prepared with the facts on hurricane history, schooling a reporter who tried to blame tornadoes caused by Hurricane Milton on global warming.Two hurricanes and dozens of tornadoes have hit Florida in the last couple of weeks. 'People should put this in perspective.'When asked by a reporter whether he thinks the increase in tornadoes could be linked to climate change, DeSantis responded, “I think you can go back and find tornadoes for all of human history for sure.”When Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida late Wednesday, it had a barometric pressure of roughly 950 millibars, the governor stated.“I think, if you go back to 1851, there’s probably been 27 hurricanes that have had lower [barometric pressure] — so the lower the barometric pressure, the stronger it is,” he continued. “I think there have been about 27 hurricanes that have had lower barometric pressure on landfall than Milton did, and of those, 17 occurred, I think, prior to 1960.”The most powerful hurricane to hit Florida since the 1850s was the Labor Day Hurricane in the 1930s, which had a barometric pressure of 892 millibars, according to DeSantis. “It totally wiped out the Keys. We’ve never seen anything like it, and that remains head and shoulders above any powerful hurricane that we’ve ever had in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said. He noted that the state’s most deadly storm was the Okeechobee hurricane in 1928, which killed more than 4,000 people. DeSantis added that Hurricane Ian, which killed 149 people in Florida two years ago, “wasn’t even close to that.”“I just think people should put this in perspective. They try to take different things that happen with tropical weather and act like it’s something; there’s nothing new under the sun. This is something that the state has dealt with for its entire history, and it’s something that we'll continue to deal with,” he said.DeSantis argued that what has changed is Florida’s population. “We’ve got 23 million people. A storm that hits is likely to hit more people and property than it would have a hundred years ago. And so the potential for that damage has grown,” he continued, adding that the state’s prevention ability has also significantly improved.“We never did the pre-staging of power assets until I became governor. Now, people, like, expect that, but that wasn’t what was done in the past. That’s why people would be out with power for three weeks when we’d have hurricanes,” DeSantis stated. “Now we have to pay to get these guys to come in, but my view is, the quicker you get everyone hooked up, the better off the economy is going to be anyway.”Another reporter asked DeSantis if he would denounce “misinformation” about “some entity controlling the weather.”The governor replied, “This is on both sides. Some people think government can do this, then others think it’s all because of fossil fuels.”“There’s precedent for all of this in history,” he said. “It is hurricane season. You are going to have tropical weather.”“These are natural occurrences,” DeSantis added.Like Blaze News?
