Hurricane Erin is approaching Puerto Rico. So you know what that means, within 48 hours, Anderson Cooper and a trained elite CNN camera will walk ashore on a sandy beach in Puerto Rico to interview a local lefty official who will claim that because of Trump everyone is dead.
Hurricanes usually devastate Puerto Rico because even a small leaf can take down the island’s entire electric grid which is made out of wishful thinking and money laundering (plus some solar panels) and despite nearly killing President Truman as part of a demand for the island’s independence, no one can figure out how to run the place.
But it’s only a problem when Trump is in the White House.
Storms hitting Puerto Rico under Biden got back page coverage, but everyone remembers the storm of lunacy and lies that broke out with Hurricane Maria, including a massively inflated death toll with no basis in the real world.
“Hurricane Maria killed more than 4,600 in Puerto Rico, not 64,” USA Today blares. “A New Study Says Nearly 6,000 Died In Puerto Rico,” BuzzFeed shouts. “Puerto Rico’s Hurricane Maria Death Toll Could Exceed 4,000,” the New York Times reports slightly more cautiously.
4,000, 4,600 or 6,000. Which is it?
This is what comes of a media monopoly that thinks fact checks are only for Republicans.
Except that the margin of error is “plus or minus 3,852.”
They surveyed 3,299 random Puerto Rican households, used the survey results to generate a death rate of 14.3 per 1,000 between September 20, the date the hurricane hit, and December 31.
That’s over 100 days after the hurricane hit.
Then they compared those numbers to the same period in 2016 and produced 4,645 deaths.
Just wait until a month from now they pull the same trick again and declare that 5,000 people died.
“All the propaganda that’s fit to fabricate,” from the venerable Pravda on the Hudson — the reliable Dhimmi-crat stenographer/shill/parrot/narrative amplifier.
Good humor 🙂
USA acquired Puerto Rico during the Spanish-American War (1898). Seemed like a good idea at the time 🙂
I really, really, really wish the Trump would figure out a way to give those free loading parasites their independence. They’re able to emigrate to America at will, you know.
Haven’t we abolished FEMA? Just send Samaritan’s Purse, the Cajun Navy and a few hundred Amish down there. It’ll be back to normal in no time, such as it is.
That would work – for a while! And then any reconstructed or new facilities would be stolen or sold! PR has been a DEMOcrat crap hole since it was profitable for the DEMOcrats! We really should just grant them their INDEPENDENCE with the promise of LIMITED Support for maybe 10 years. That would give them enough time to either sink, swim (but not to the USA), or sell out to China! I stopped drinking rum and coke due to Coca Cola’s stupidity in siding with the obese Tank!!
From the NYT’s to USA TODAY the typical leftists Propaganda we get from the M.S. Media then wonder why the American People no longer trusts them perhaps it they took a look in the mirror they would see the producers of the Leftists Propaganda that they call News
The Purto Rican government probably has video of fake victims crying and saying they lost their homes ready to broadcast at a moment’s notice.. Too bad for them Hurricane Erin isn’t going to go anywhere near Puerto Rico and unless it changes course radically to the West, it won’t hit the Continental US. It’s currently well over 300 miles northeast of Puerto Rico and heading north by northwest and the National Hurricane Center says it will swerve away from the mainland of North America long before it gets near it.
Fuck off, Puerto Rico. No American largess to line the pockets of your top politicians and monied interests. No TDS fest for the cameras. Just go back to eating your beans and rice and put your hands in your own pockets and out of ours.
Well. Trump did not run on a platform to rebuild Puerto Rico. If the Democrats want to try that one on, go for it.
I guess their ‘scientific experts’ will point out that Trump’s anti “Climate Change” policy is the CAUSE of the hurricane if it is a bad one?
Last I saw, the hurricane’s track is to go harmlessly up the east coast and veer off into the Atlantic. That means at least 10,000 people on Puerto Rico will die today. And it will be Trump’s fault.
