Myers. It was a Category 3 storm and left more than 3 million homes and businesses without power. It also spawned numerous deadly tornadoes. Areas from Tampa Bay over to Daytona Beach got over a foot of rain. Damage included the roof being torn off of Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays. It's bad in many areas, but it could've been much worse. Thankfully, the storm picked up speed, going from 10mph to 16mph which helped it move across the peninsula instead of slowing down or stalling.

On this episode - We meet our guest Chris Arps, Mark and him dig in right away about today's topics. The Left's voting base is dying off and their goal is to make America into a 1 party system, which is typical of a dictatorship. This also is in line with them wanting to get rid of the Electorial College. These sanctuary cities don't actually want to be sanctuary cities when the people show up. The government today is hiring companies to give away our money becasue they can not give it away fast enough. In almost every case the owners of these companies are big contributors to the Democratic Party. The lower income families in this country are being treated worse than the illegal immigrants who are being put up in free hotels while being given a $10,000 Visa card. When you look at the composition of people comming across the border illegally, they arent from South America. There are huge numbers of Chinese military age males who could be infiltrators or spies coming here on purpose. The Chinese government is in league now with the drug cartels assisting on the fentanyl epidemic here in our country. Just looking at why is our government funnelling billions of dollars into cartels? We as a government are making and allowing the cartels to make more money than ever before. https://nationalcenter.org/ncppr/staff/christopher-arps/ https://newstalkstl.com/tim-jones-chris-arps/
