Donald Trump met with Governor Kemp to receive a briefing on the storm damage in Georgia and progress on helping Georgians. Brian Kemp is popular and is handling the crisis well. He’s also supporting Donald Trump. However, he also attends the World Economic Forum regularly which raises suspicions about him. He says he goes to […] The post Gov.

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg discussed allegations that the federal government was preventing good Samaritans from delivering supplies via helicopter to storm-ravaged North Carolina on Friday. Musk posted a screenshot of text messages he had received from a SpaceX engineer on a helicopter trying to land in North Carolina and deliver supplies, including Starlink terminals, for victims of the devastating flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. A group of SpaceX engineers recorded a video of the storm’s destruction in the state while attempting to land. “SpaceX engineers are trying to deliver Starlink terminals & supplies to devastated areas in North Carolina right now and @FEMA is both failing to help AND won’t let others help. This is unconscionable!! They just took this video a few hours ago, where you can see the level of devastation: roads, houses, electricity, water supply and ground Internet connections completely destroyed. @FEMA wouldn’t let them land to deliver critical supplies … my blood is boiling,” Musk wrote on X.

Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! “They are about to shut down the Air space to ‘regulate’ the private choppers we are riding in to deliver Starlink and supplies. We are pushing back with trump team as well to help us, but not looking good,” the employee said. “We need help to get the word out about FEMA, we spoke to Ivanka [Trump] and handed out starlinks with her yesterday but FEMA then showed up and started blocking us.” “The largest concern for us here is the FAA throttling flights for our choppers where they are requiring To/from information and mission now to deliver discrete code. Doing this could take a long time and [is] very cumbersome to the ops. This is the largest concern and most help we could use,” the message added. Just received this text 20 mins ago.

If you’re encountering a problem give me a call.” Musk shot back, telling the Biden Transportation Secretary, “There are hundreds of reports of FEMA/FAA blocking flights. This literally just happened. I will follow you. Please DM me the number to call.” Sixteen minutes later, Musk pinged Buttigieg again, writing, “Still waiting … the helicopter is trying to land to deliver critical supplies. What’s the number to call?” Finally, Buttigieg apparently called the SpaceX CEO and the two discussed the issue. Musk thanked Buttigieg after the call, adding, “Hopefully, we can resolve this soon.” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! Earlier on Friday, whistleblowers accused FEMA of misappropriating taxpayer dollars and leaving first responders on the ground with no orders. “My office has been in contact with whistleblowers in numerous emergency-management functions at the federal, state, and local levels, and they all point to the same critical management issue. FEMA has wasted taxpayer funds, misappropriated funds, and left other federal, state, and local responders without deployment orders on the ground,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) wrote in a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “As reported and further confirmed by my office, hundreds, if not thousands of service members were deployed by the Department of Defense to North Carolina and have sat idle, waiting for FEMA.”

Video surfaced late this week of an attack that Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists carried out at the start of the month on another tanker in the Red Sea. The Islamic terrorists rammed a cheaply made explosive-loaded boat drone into the side of the ship, causing a massive explosion that ripped into the vessel’s ballast tanks, according to The Times of Israel. The attack on the Panama-flagged oil tanker Cordelia Moon happened less than 100 miles off the coast of Yemen, where the terrorist group is based. The report said that the terrorists have increasingly started to use the drone boats.

Video posted online appeared to show the security guards shooting at the relatively slow moving drone boat with rifles trying to stop it before it rammed into the ship. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! The report said that the Houthis attacked a second ship that was traveling north to the Suez Canal with a missile. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), said that the ship was attacked by a missile and that it “sustained damage.” UKMTO WARNING – INCIDENT 125 – ATTACK UPDATE 001https://t.co/ye4ZO0L5nC…… #MaritimeSecurity #MarSec pic.twitter.com/cpREPPCMhM — United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) (@UK_MTO) October 1, 2024 At the end of last month, the Houthis fired dozens of missiles and drones at U.S. Navy ships after Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike. “Three U.S. Navy warships shot down nearly two dozen incoming missiles and drones launched by Iran’s rebel army in Yemen earlier today while transiting the narrow entrance to the Red Sea,” said Fox News defense correspondent Lucas Tomlinson. No U.S. ships were hit, no sailors were hurt, and it appears as though all of the projectiles that were fired were either shot down or missed. “A pair of guided-missile destroyers, the USS Stockdale and USS Spruance, along with a littoral combat ship, the USS Indianapolis, were transiting the Bab al-Mandab Strait when the American warships came under attack from a barrage of incoming ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones,” he added. The Biden-Harris administration had no immediate military response to the terrorist attack and did not even release a statement on it. Related: Israel Blasts Iranian-Backed Houthi Terrorists In Yemen
