Was Hurricane Harvey, the Mother of All Hurricanes, weaponized by man-made, rapid evaporation techniques of global weather manipulators to decimate the densely populated Houston region of Texas? Mike Adams, Health Ranger, is asking that very question and is directing his viewers to satellite imagery of Harvey, a hurricane which refueled three times and stayed in a holding pattern over the Houston-Rockport area instead of moving inland to disperse naturally. As seen from outer space, the deep black center reveals an ominous circulating and rotating in place. On Saturday and Sunday (8-26, 8-27, 2017), this long lasting weather event increased both...

She’s helping others with the milk of human kindness. Danielle Palmer of Owensville, Mo., has donated 1,000 ounces of her own breast milk for Harvey victims. Palmer, a mother of three, watched as Hurricane Harvey flooded Houston, Texas last week and wanted to do something to help.

Let this sink in for a minute... Hundreds and hundreds of small boats pulled by countless pickups and SUVs from across the South are headed for Houston. Almost all of them driven by men. They're using their own property, sacrificing their own time, spending their own money, and risking their own lives for one reason: to help total strangers in desperate need. Most of them are by themselves. Most are dressed like the redneck duck hunters and bass fisherman they are. Many are veterans. Most are wearing well-used gimme-hats, t-shirts, and jeans; and there's a preponderance of camo. Most are probably...

Seeing the destruction and suffering caused by Hurricane Harvey on TV – as survivors take their first steps on the long road to recovery – brings back my own memories of the aftermath of 55 deadly tornadoes that claimed 243 lives in Alabama on April 27, 2011. Some things I learned after that terrible day six years ago can help us all understand what’s to come for the more than 1 million people displaced from their homes and for others whose lives were also upended by Harvey’s fury in Texas and nearby states. I was not in Alabama when the...

Here is what is fixing to start happening in Houston, probably within the next few days: You’re going to see a lot of Antifa, Black Lives Matter and other Soros-funded activists come in from other parts of the country and begin to infiltrate the community, particularly in minority-heavy neighborhoods. Their purpose will be to make it appear that the federal and state response to the Hurricane Harvey disaster is racist and ineffective. We can imagine that these activist groups and their benefactors in the national Democrat Party have had enough of seeing uplifting video from Texas. So, in the coming...

More than 70,000 people have signed a petition to rename a Texas highway after Houston Texans star J.J. Watt due to his efforts in raising millions for Hurricane Harvey victims. The petition, which was created on Change.org Friday, calls on Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to rename State Highway 99 the J.J. Watt Parkway. [Snip] "JJ Watt has been an exemplary humanitarian and Houstonian," the petition states. "He has given to our great city more than we could ever have asked for! As a token of our appreciation not only should (State Highway) 99 bear his...

[snip] J.C. Spencer said the moment calling Chick-fil-A was hilarious to him. "We had to get out of there so I called Chick-fil-A, now that sounds kind of funny," J.C. Spencer said in an interview on "Good Morning America" Wednesday. "I ordered two grilled chicken burritos with extra egg and a boat. And can you believe that one of the managers of Chick-fil-A, she sent her husband to pick us up and we are so grateful."

HOUSTON, Texas — A New York firefighter currently working as a first responder in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey got his first taste of a Texas icon — Whataburger. His reaction tells the whole story. The fast-food restaurant chain that operates nearly 700 stores in Texas set up a food service operation for Hurricane Harvey relief workers. An unidentified New York firefighter stepped up to get his first taste of the often bragged about Texas burger. The skeptical fireman said, “Texas guys wanna tell me ‘This is a burger,’ this is the official Texas burger,” he said as he prepared...

Antifa Man O’ War Sails Into Houston 5 Comments Posted by Earl of Taint on September 2, 2017 Of course they have a Navy. The proud vessel pictured below is the Flagship of their vast nautical fleet.  Apparently, our recent coverage of ongoing Nazi activity has alerted them to the the presence of their arch-enemies (ie; pretty much anyone) in Houston and they have sent a rapid attack force to, in the words of their press release: “…Defend All Communities Of Colors from the hateful, oppressive and perversely privileged ACT of rich white people playing like they’re Helping Victims Solely Out...

The scenes of destruction wrought on the Gulf Coast by Hurricane Harvey cannot do other than move even the stoniest heart. One aches at the sight of people who have lost everything, including loved ones. Yet amid these scenes of suffering and anguish there also shines a glimmer of hope. As I watched footage of ordinary people piloting their fishing boats down the streets of their flooded neighborhoods, plucking strangers from their upstairs bedrooms and rooftops and taking them to safety, I could not help but recall the events of September 1940. Britain was in grave peril. Hitler’s armies were...

Together, we will prevail in the GREAT state of Texas. We love you! GOD BLESS TEXAS & GOD BLESS THE USA (No need to have a Twitter account to see the video)

Earlier this week, I was holed up on high ground in Houston, riding out what meteorologists are calling an unprecedented flooding disaster brought on by Hurricane Harvey. My place has, so far, stayed relatively dry. But I have had to step out to lend a folding ladder to a friend who drove a circuitous route to borrow it to fix his gutters and lessen the chances of water cascading into his home. Other friends are stranded on the second floors of their homes, crossing their fingers that waters don’t rise; many more are on their roofs awaiting rescue or already...

resident Trump said the recovery from Hurricane Harvey would be "hopefully a quick process" after arriving in Texas on Saturday to tour massive damage caused by the Gulf Coast storm in Houston. Trump and his wife, Melania, visited a relief center and mingled with victims. The Trumps are also scheduled to join members of the Texas delegation before heading to Louisiana. "There’s a lot of water, but it’s moving out. Most importantly, the governor, the relationship with the governor, the mayor and everybody, it’s been fantastic," Trump told reporters while touring the relief center. "We’re signing a lot of documents...

If you search the internet for “Houston mosque” or even simply “Houston,” nearly every mainstream media publication has multiple articles, being updated regularly, showcasing Houston area “mosques opening their doors to hurricane Harvey victims.” In fact, even so-called fact-checking website Snopes published an article on the matter, and not as a fact-checked one, but as a promoted news story. Many of these articles are centered on the issue that mosques opened their doors to evacuees, but Christian pastor Joel Osteen did not immediately open his megachurch doors. (Osteen later alleged that the surrounding streets were not open or safe;...

Houston is trying to dry itself out and recover from the historic floods of Hurricane Harvey. It will take years and unknown billions of dollars. Unlike New Orleans in 2005 after Katrina, the country's fourth largest city was as prepared as any metropolis can be for a thousand-year flood. But unlike New Orleans, Houston's city government was not horribly corrupt and incompetent. In Houston, no poorly built or badly maintained federal government levies broke open, instantly flooding whole neighborhoods with sea water up to their rooftops and killing nearly 2,000 people. In Houston, where so far about 40 have died,...

Could it be possible that during a major hurricane like Harvey that actually LESS people die in a city than would die on a regular day? For the most part, during a hurricane, people are inside their homes or shelters sitting still, when on other days they might be out on the freeway, playing sports, digging trenches, etc. etc. It also seems that unless there are some extreme situations, suicides and homicides would drop during such an event because people are focusing on getting to safety more than they are on their emotions or on seeking revenge. In 2012, Harris...

RUSH: Did you see where the largest refinery may be shut for two weeks down in Houston because of the recovery here from the, not really the hurricane, the flooding. You can argue that it’s a man-made disaster down there, not a weather disaster. You get in trouble if you do that. I mean, Katrina was a man-made problem. They hadn’t upkeep the levies. They were stealing the money, rather than plowing it into refurbishing the levees. And the levees gave away. And there’s some people out there saying Houston, hey, it’s a man-made problem. They should have never built...

In the wake of Katrina in 2005, the Louisiana congressional delegation, led by then-Senators Mary Landrieu andDavid Vitter, swung for the fences, bringing forward an initial proposal for a massive $250 billion appropriation that included funding for things like $35 million in marketing funds for the state’s seafood industry, $8 million for alligator farms. This breathtaking money grab came after the George W. Bush Administration had worked with congressional leaders to push through $62 billion in Katrina-related recovery funding. In the end, congress rejected that proposal, but did end up appropriating more than $120 billion in Katrina-related recovery funding in...
