As many as 800 tractor trailers loaded with relief supplies are at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery waiting to be deployed to Florida and Georgia as the areas brace for Hurricane Irma.

Col. Eric K. Shafa, Commander of the 42nd Air Base Wing at Maxwell, said the installation is serving as staging area for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Tractor trailers began rolling into Maxwell yesterday and will be deployed, if needed, after the storm. The trucks contain supplies such as water, food, generators and cots.

That’s something that Bush couldn’t deliver upon after Katrina.

If, as we all believe, President Trump does a masterful job of recovery from Harvey and Irma, he will become unbeatable for re-election and he will have the necessary leverage next year to get decent replacements for a large number of Congressmen and Senators up for re-election.

Build and rebuild is right in Trump’s wheelhouse. That is what he has done for 50+ years and been very successful at it. People like Obama would not know what end of the nail to hit with a hammer.

Good point. The question is whether that leverage will be used effectively by the GOP, et al; Trump, of course, cannot do it by himself.

With regard to the identity of those Congressmen and Senators, a must watch for Freepers is Trevor Loudon's The Enemies Within (free on Amazon's Prime movies).

The film is an eye-opener as to the extent of the multi-headed anti-American threat that is diligently working against us 24/7.

Open borders, NEA, higher education, labor unions, etc., etc.; the map may be very red, but it appears we are quickly becoming outnumbered.

The battle cry ought to be nothing less than "Taking Back America".

That's why he picked a job that didn't need a hammer...:^)
