DeSantis gives media a history lesson on hurricanes

 American Action News:

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis gave a history lesson about hurricanes in Florida to a reporter who attempted to link Hurricane Milton to climate change during a Thursday press conference.

A reporter asked DeSantis about how many storms throughout history have formed “as rapidly” as Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which both caused mass flooding and high winds throughout Florida. DeSantis pointed to a series of hurricanes that struck Florida in 2004 and in the 1940’s.

“Speaking of history, sir, how many storms formed as rapidly as they have between Helene and Milton?” a reporter asked.

“Oh, I think most people remember 2004 where it seemed like you had them every other week in 2004,” DeSantis said. “Then there’s also time periods, you know, we had from 2006 to ’16, we had no hurricanes at all in Florida. There’s also been times where we had a lot. The 1940s, we were getting hit a lot. Now more recently, we’ve had a spade of more. So that’s just kind of the nature of it. But this really does have a lot of similarities to 2004 in terms of the season.”
...

The climate kooks are acting like Chicken Little assuming the sky is falling.  Texas has also had its share of Hurricanes through the years.  Milton was unique because it formed near the Yucatan and headed east instead of in the Atlantic Ocean.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
