Hurricane Ian is moving up the Atlantic seaboard and apparently passing into history. It was tremendously destructive as it hit the Gulf coast of Florida, and Democrats didn’t even wait for the hurricane to make landfall before politicizing it.
Democrats hope Ian will bring down, or at least put a chink in the armor of, the heretofore invincible Ron DeSantis. But I am confused: didn’t we learn during Katrina that dealing with hurricanes is the responsibility of the federal government? Specifically, the president? And that other officials, like governors and mayors, are irrelevant? So if there are problems dealing with the aftermath of Ian, they will be blamed on Joe Biden. Right?
The Democrats have tried to politicize Hurricane Ian in at least two more ways. Notwithstanding the fact that Florida has been hit periodically by hurricanes throughout recorded history, they blame this one on global warming. The New York Times, which exists to mislead its readers, was particularly dishonest, as is explained at Watts Up With That. The Times claims that severe hurricanes have been increasing since 1980:

Excellent article, especially this one quote: “The New York Times, which exists to mislead its readers,”

(“The New York Times, which exists to mislead its readers,”)
Nicely done
At least they didn’t call it “Iran” Luke Nancy Pelosi.
There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.
The NYT uses all three.
Just counting the $$$dollars, I’d be willing to bet that Biden has done more damage to Florida than Hurricane Ian has.

DARN YOU, AUTOCORRECT!!!!
The arms of the Media get tired from constantly moving the goalposts...

The Pelosi Force gives you great dark powers.
In the wretched hive of scum and villainy.

How about the major of New Orleans?
Mayor of New Orleans Ray Nagin, who once called it the "Chocolate City", was convicted of on 21 corruption charges, including wire fraud, conspiracy, bribery, money laundering, and filing false tax returns related to bribes from city contractors on July 9, 2014, Nagin was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment, and more than $585,000 in restitution and forfeiture. He was released from the Federal Prison in Texarkana in 2020 and placed on home arrest due to Covid policies.
The Dark Side - which is the god of this world, for sure
The responsibility and blame in connection with hurricanes falls on the President, if the President is a Republican. If the President is a Democrat, the blame falls on the Governor, if the governor is a Republican, or on the mayor or mayors if the governor is a Democrat. If all the officials who could possibly be blamed are Democrats, then the blame falls on climate change deniers.
