U.S. MILITARY ON PUERTO RICO: “THE PROBLEM IS DISTRIBUTION” AND HERE’S WHY

Valle says of the major disconnect today between the perception of a lack of response from Washington verses what is really going on on the ground. “I have family here. My parents’ home is here.

Thank you. I believe I saw Sean Spicer as Navy spokesman during the Comfort hospital ship segment.

CNN delivers a shirt to San Juan mayor to put Trump down when it is her own people sabotaging the relief effort. Sad, but the left wing media are trying to nail Trump. I’m surprised this is from Huffington.

I can’t understand why CB radios won’t work, either.
My friend there suggested a convoy of supplies dropping off along the way but that was rejected. Somebody higher up wanted point drop offs. with No street signs, recognizable landmarks etc. foreigners are lost. Now what?
