    Re: Harris/Biden Asleep at the Wheel. 1000 Natl. Guards AFTER A WEEK!!! Who are they kidding? Maybe a bit too much time spent campaigning & beach lounging. Instead Harris/Biden are busy blocking shipments of donated Starlink antennas & fining volunteers’ drone flights searching for survivors & victims, despite their keeping far lower ceilings than SAR aircraft. Bureaucracy at its best keeping their status quo as the over arching priority. Oh, & don’t you Trump voting hillbillies even hope Harris/Biden aren’t gleefully dancing on your graves, along with the actual vultures picking over your bones, knowing the less they help, the fewer of you will ever make it to the polls, even if you somehow survive.
    Please know that we true Americans stand with you, including those of us in the Tesla NA GoFundMe campaign. ❤ 🙏s. Stay strong!

    REMEMBER, how many innocent people has been killed with American weapons in Gaza and Lebanon. What you have now is the a-return

    May God have mercy on us all. The judgment is set and we all need to amend our ways. Shalom

  27. @monoracional on October 7, 2024 at 7:48 pm

    "the pioneers,…since the beginning", he meant to say the sqautters land thieves colonizers genocidal people. those colonizers did NOT started this, american indias have lived there for thousands of years, stop lying.

  28. @catpaws1196 on October 7, 2024 at 7:49 pm

    I would never choose to live in Florida. I can’t imagine going through this every yr. There are so many other states to choose from that are just as nice.

  29. @TheBerendir on October 7, 2024 at 7:49 pm

    Hopefully no round two 😮. Fingers crossed for all the folks there!

  30. @dh5380 on October 7, 2024 at 7:50 pm

    Don’t believe Trump’s lies. The reason there’s no money is because the Maga House won’t pass a budget! Has nothing to do with immigrannts

  31. @molinakp1 on October 7, 2024 at 7:51 pm

    This place has been my go to when I come down to Florida. I am devastated to see this. My heart and prayers go out to the people of cedar key.

    Climate change, climate change, climate change, climate change, trump says is a hoax

  36. @pattawney5621 on October 7, 2024 at 7:55 pm

    And just so you know, the government doesn’t show up for at least a week. The local fire dept and the National Forest crews were here to save lives. We still aren’t back together. And my mom has PTSD and panics when ever she smells smoke. If you think it isn’t a competition then you don’t understand capitalism. Our trees burn, no wood. Prices go up. No govt. Support to replace the trees because it take 4 generations to grow these trees and you just waste the lumber on building as that flood every year.

  37. @Sagatta32 on October 7, 2024 at 7:55 pm

    I must be one of those conspiracy nutcases but consider wea’ther mani’pulation.

  38. @johnmessina6317 on October 7, 2024 at 7:58 pm

    The government aid to North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee is astonishing and shameful: 1. All hurricane aid was transferred to Israel. 2. There is no one to help them. 3. They are arrested if they try to return to their homes, or rescue or bury their relatives, or retrieve their belongings. 4. Government agents occupied all the hotels and people had to stay outside in the cold at the mercy of the hurricane. 5. They went to their houses and it turns out that they are government property and they are giving them to Black Rock for the lithium they found on these properties and people are left homeless on the streets. Copy this and pass it on quickly before it is deleted, so that all the American people know what the Government is doing, FASTER, FASTER

  39. @abdulazizsaleh9567 on October 7, 2024 at 7:59 pm

    It’s seems No Politicians will talk about those people….only some YouTube channel including this one.. who’s going to tell us what’s happened…. I haven’t seen any police department, Fire department, in this Video….
    Did those people Left alone in this disaster ?
    I feel very sorry for everything 💔

  40. @ElCyberWizard on October 7, 2024 at 7:59 pm

    It’s crazy how much a storm can do so much damage including pulling huge trees from the root down.I don’t think many peoples realize that what a hurricane can do to what I witnessed.Please be safe and always be prepared!

  47. @cameronlieble856 on October 7, 2024 at 8:08 pm

    The pioneers didn’t factor in climate change. Drill baby drill?

  48. @elenaserban5406 on October 7, 2024 at 8:09 pm

    😢😢…nu pot sa cred ca este adevarat…chiar m am abonat la canalul tău

  49. @cheguevara87 on October 7, 2024 at 8:10 pm

    Why American government is giving billions to Israel when American people need money f.e. to rebuild?

  50. @gtechnosinc2518 on October 7, 2024 at 8:10 pm

    I don’t think is climate change, is weather manipulation 100%, they want every one poor in this country and every where, so they can bring their new world order, no climate change bs.
