   If you read past the headline, it looks like it’s the Mayor of San Juan with a problem. The amount of effort is massive and considering the extent of the damage, to already have 50% of the population with running water is very good.

     I think she has a leftist axe to grind, Michael. (and I always read past the headline)
     Problem is, the Herald knows that most readers don’t. They just want their anti-conservative prejudices validated.

       The media taking advantage of the average person not being familiar with geography,not knowing the extent of the damage,not knowing what a massive effort is required or how that effort will be delivered.
       Also no examination of why given it’s geography,it’s climate and it’s unique position in the world,is Puerto Rico constantly either bankrupt or on the verge of bankruptcy?
       Could it be all those NYC educated liberal democrats causing Puerto Rico to be the Detroit of the Tropics?

   The sinistre MSM is doing its best to find something to blame Trump for. My advice to them – “don’t piss into the wind”.

     Indeed!

     ….and don’t forget in January they said Trump would be impeached and removed from office “within 90 days” – long 90 days, heh? So the Left sits in the darkness sucking their collectivist thumbs and grow weaker by the day – but Trump stands in light of sucess and grows stronger by the day.

     Meanwhile, Trump’s approval numbers are rising making the “lawfare” witch hunters under Herr Mueller – who bares a striking resemblance to the infamous “Gestapo Mueller” of Nazi fame – look more and more impotent by the day.

     Like the Bible says, “Do not strike at the king except to kill” – and Mueller and Company have delivered the “sucker punch” but the king still stands – and the king will have his way against the knaves involved.

   The governor of Puerto Rico is a DEMOCRAT – but he’s honest enough to admit that everything he asks Trump for in the way of federal aid is granted with a big red rubber stamp of approval at the Oval Office before the sun goes down.

   The Propaganda Ministry of the Globalists may print lie after lie, but they are speaking to an empty room – the people on the ground in PR know the truth about the federal aid – and Trump will be rewarded at the polls for his efforts, as rank&file blue collar Democrats have no problem voting for him.

   This morning Trump was up to 45% on the Rasmussen poll – the most accurate – which is 6 points less than a majority – but sure as hell beats his closest Democrat politician in D.C. – Nazi Pelosi – with a whopping 26% approval rating – and Congress which is down to 9% approval (how low can they go?)

     Congress and the NFL are currently in a dead heat to the finish,who wants points on which one hits the basement first?

       Huh?

       Trump has already won – the NFL will stand for the National Anthem – This is a great victory in the “Culture War” – First he nuked the Leftist Media by calling them “Fake News” and they lose the few normal Americans who watched them and their reputations for being “fair and balanced” – and now he’s nuked the mighty Leftist dominated NFL and they are the losers.

       Next? Maybe Hollywood? Maybe Academia? Who knows? It’s kind of like Trump is a mosquito at a nudist convention, “Who next to bite?”

       …and when they get the inevitable “bite” from Trump they go into immediate emotional meltdown – kind of like Pavlov’s dogs – always the same predictable false rage with the same stupid charges against Trump: “Racist, Sexist, etc”

       This makes the Left look even more stupid and crazy than in the last fit they pulled…

       So I predict Trump will keep on kicking in their doors…

         Trump won,yes,but the NFL has lost more than they realize.I know many diehard fans who have said this is the last straw and they won’t be back.

           I hope the NFL does dry up and blow away. Then maybe they’d start a pro-American football league with safeguards to keep out Leftist athletes, and black ghetto rats with room temperature I.Q.s criminal records as long as their arms.

   It’s been a bankrupt,corrupt cesspool for decades,fat chance of changing that.

     I see an excellent opportunity for the Trump Regime to depose the corrupt, stupid and degenerate Democrat government of the island…

     Yes, a military general in charge of relief. Yes, martial law. Yes, a purge of the PR leadership on the island – and the elevation of the honest to office.

     Indictments, trials and imprisonment!

     Bring it on, baby!

   ‘The Washington Examiner reported earlier today that the mayor of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico criticized neighboring San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz for “playing politics” after Hurricane Maria. He also praised President Trump for his hurricane recovery coordination efforts. Guaynabo Mayor Angel Perez Otero says that Mayor Yulin Cruz has been a no show at coordination meetings between FEMA, U.S. military officials, and Puerto Rican leaders. “I´ve seen other mayors participating. She´s not,” said Perez Otero.’
   and:
   ‘The Mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Carmen Yulin-Cruz attempts to make the crisis in Puerto Rico political. The insufferable mindset to make things political is only exceeded by the ridiculous optic of calling for federal aid while surrounded by relief supplies provided entirely by the U.S. federal government. •50% of the native Puerto Rican National Guard refused to report to duty when the governor called them up. •Thousands of tons of supplies and equipment, provided by FEMA, U.S. military and U.S. relief agencies, sit at ports while municipal government has no process for delivering them….’

   Hey KG,

   I was just curious if you have had any blowback from your ‘NZ Herald prints fake news’ items? Any contact from other ‘news’ agencies to perhaps call the Herald on their bias?
   • KG says:

     Nothing at all, Michael. I can only assume the Herald is too insignificant.
