The timeliness of evacuation orders given in Lee County, which took the brunt of Hurricane Ian’s deaths for the state, was justified by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. It was Tuesday evening, 21 hours before the devastating Category 4 superstorm made landfall on North Captiva Island, when the southwestern county that contains Fort Myers and Cape Coral advised coastal residents to leave their homes. According to CNN, at least 35 county residents were confirmed deceased, which accounts for more than half of the 66 fatalities recorded in Florida by Sunday morning. DeSantis defended the timing of the advisory by Lee County

Neither of the leading contenders in Brazil’s crowded presidential race, right-wing incumbent Jair Bolsonaro or leftist former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, prevailed in the first round of voting on Sunday. In the runoff, Mr. da Silva, the leader of the Workers’ Party, will face Mr. Bolsonaro, a rule-slashing firebrand who has been compared to Donald Trump in Brazil.

I mean, look at Joe Biden… it’s been two hellish years, and he’s gotten so much worse than he was when he was first installed. And that’s saying a lot, because he was really far gone back then, too. Now, he’s talking to dead people, and can’t find his way off a 6-foot stage. But President Trump, on the other hand, is energetic, sharp, and has that razor wit, not to mention he’s

There are so many theories floating around about Trump, DeSantis, Biden, Kamala, Hillary, and even Gavin, for 2024. It’s hard to keep up. I think the goofiest theory of all is the “Biden 2024” one. The guy is now talking to dead people — at this point, I think we’ve crossed the Rubicon in terms of Biden’s mental health. But that doesn’t stop the theories from coming. Personally, I never believed for one minute that Joe Biden would run again. The big powers lurking around behind him would never allow it. The man has been a complete and total disaster
