They're now coming faster and may soon be furious

Pay attention to soon to be Grace

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Depression Fred, located about 105 miles west of Great Inagua,
Bahamas.

1. Satellite-derived wind data from this morning indicated that a
small area of low pressure has developed along a tropical wave
about 1200 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. However, the low
does not quite have a closed circulation, and the associated shower
and thunderstorm activity remains disorganized. Environmental
conditions are expected to become more conducive for additional
development, and a tropical depression is likely to form by the
weekend while moving generally westward at about 20 mph across the
tropical Atlantic. This system is expected to reach portions of the
Leeward Islands late Saturday or early Sunday, and interests there
should monitor its progress.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

He thinks he's got all the billionaires behind him and that's all he needs. He does not care anything about the rest of us, doesn't care about the media. Unless the billionaires start caring and his funders leave him, he will continue on killing the folks of FL on purpose.

Trying to get more government $$ to his friends the billionaires. He'd be fine letting the rest of us die.

He's a Yalie. And said to be a member of Skull and Bones secret society.

We who lived through the Bush years likely remember the significance of Skull & Bones in conversations about the Deep State, CIA, etc.

The guiding principle taught by S&B to its elite members is this:

"In chaos, there is opportunity."

Seriously.

And so the goal is to create chaos, in order to profit in some way.

Here's an article written in 1991 that shines light on Skull & Bones.
