Trump's Mar-a-Lago is in the projected path of Hurricane Dorian

https://www.tampabay.com/hurricane/2019/08/29/trumps-mar-a-lago-is-in-the-projected-path-of-hurricane-dorian/?fbclid=IwAR3aYKrjUXGDGIYximZPn-XczlsGpYefsveZrW-6Qk5fjJ_sZnA_-CQe5Mw

Hurricane Dorian is threatening to strike Florida near Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s prized South Florida resort.

The storm is projected to make landfall as a Category 4 hurricane on Monday, with Melbourne as the most likely landing spot. That’s about 115 miles north of Palm Beach, where Trump’s ocean-front hotel is situated. Mar-a-Lago remains in the “cone of uncertainty" — the range of potential paths the hurricane could take as it strengthens in the Caribbean.

The U.S. Secret Service declined to respond to questions about any security measures taken at Mar-a-Lago during an extreme weather event and directed questions to the resort. The Trump Organization and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“It will be a very big Hurricane, perhaps one of the biggest!” Trump wrote.

Mystery of missing votes deepens as Congress investigates Georgia

https://www.ajc.com/news/state--regional-govt--politics/mystery-missing-votes-deepens-congress-investigates-georgia/x4OTY0ylxfA0Z0Rg6wjkyN/?fbclid=IwAR2kc0MQSGmJ1-0N4crzQmDvtkbYvO45n_6zCxJmCMsT7qg19vxEw7Vh2fg#

To find a clue about what might have gone wrong with Georgia’s election last fall, look no further than voting machine No. 3 at the Winterville Train Depot outside Athens.

On machine No. 3, Republicans won every race. On each of the other six machines in that precinct, Democrats won every race.

Even though it was the second race on the ballot, fewer votes were counted for lieutenant governor than for labor commissioner, insurance commissioner and every other statewide contest lower on the ballot. Roughly 80,000 fewer votes were counted for lieutenant governor than in other down-ballot elections.


We've seen these anomalies in Florida since 2000. Unless we can get election integrity, the Russian/Repubs will continue to "win".
