Puerto Rico was just hit with the most devastating tropical storm in the island’s history, but that didn’t stop the nitwits on “The View” from trying to politicize the tragedy in a shameless attempt to smear President Donald Trump. The panel of cackling communists welcomed Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rosselló onto their show, where they instantly tried to use him to make Trump look bad. However, their plan immediately backfired as soon as Rosselló opened his mouth.
The ladies wasted absolutely no time trying to get Rosselló to throw Trump under the bus. Co-host Sara Haines said to the governor, “We saw a clip of President Trump saying the White House is doing a ‘great job.’ How do you think they’re doing in terms of response, and do you think it’s enough?”
However, Rosselló was not having it. “Well, certainly here’s the two components we need to consider,” he responded. “Number one, the president has been in contact with me almost on a daily basis. He is aware of the devastation. I thank him for issuing emergency declarations, issuing disaster declarations verbally as the storm was hitting Puerto Rico. He has also given instructions to FEMA and other federal agencies to help Puerto Rico. That effort is ongoing, and it’s very good. It’s very effective,” added Governor Rosselló, effectively putting to bed any expectations that he might take the opportunity to bash Trump on live television.
“There are some logistical threats that we’re facing,” Governor Rosselló added, according to IJR. “A lot of people in Puerto Rico that used to truck gas or food from one place to the other have not reported. The logistical transportation of the help that’s arriving to Puerto Rico is kind of becoming a bottleneck. What we need are some human resources, which we requested, and FEMA has established the Corps of Engineers and Special Forces from the D.o.D. that are going to be coming to Puerto Rico so they can help in transportation, medical safety. They can help with fuel lines. They can help with a whole host of things. I know it’s a challenging situation,” he said.
“Let me put this in this context,” Rosselló continued. “It’s the most devastating event in Puerto Rico. Two Category 4 or 5 hurricanes passing in the span of two weeks. The U.S. Citizens that live in Puerto Rico — the proud U.S. Citizens that live in Puerto Rico want to work, want to deal with the emergency,” he said.
The Governor has also asked for “equal treatment” from Congress, according to CBNC. “We also are looking forward to special aid package from Congress. I call upon Congress to act quickly. A lot of messages of solidarity by congressmen and women. I’ve spoken to them. Our ask is to treat Puerto Rico equally. Attend to the devastation. If we do that we can avoid a humanitarian crisis in the United States and put Puerto Rico back on the path to recovery and in the long run build it stronger than ever,” said Rosselló.
As Puerto Rico works to restore order in the wake a devastating hurricane season, the ladies – and, I use that term loosely – of “The View” would do well to offer their support without politicizing a tragedy. That ain’t a good look on anyone.

Donald Trump is set to reverse an order by former President Barack Obama to close Guantanamo Bay, it has been claimed. The notorious military prison holds suspected terrorists but has attracted fierce criticism from human rights groups. During his time in office, President Obama signed an executive order for Guantanamo to be closed "as soon as practicable". In practice, he wasn't able to end the facility entirely due to opposition from US Congress. But hundreds of prisoners were moved to the mainland and just 41 remain. During his presidential campaign, Donald Trump made clear his support for Guantanamo and said he wanted to "load it up with bad dudes". According to Politico, he now intends to come good on that promise and will start by signing an executive order reversing the Obama mandate. He is expected to make the announcement during the State of the Union address on Tuesday or perhaps before, the reports claim.
The recent Southwest Airlines tragedy that claimed the life of a woman who was sucked through an aircraft window also showed up a worrying lack of knowledge about basic safety procedures. An image shared online by Marty Martinez, a passenger on board flight 1380 from New York to Dallas, shows him and his fellow passengers wearing oxygen masks, which dropped down after one of the jet’s engines blew. Oxygen masks should be placed over the nose and mouth (Facebook/Marty Martinez ) However, as travel expert and former flight attendant Bobby Laurie pointed out on social media, none of the people in the picture are wearing their masks correctly. He tweeted : “PEOPLE: Listen to your flight attendants! ALMOST EVERYONE in this photo from @SouthwestAir #SWA1380 today is wearing their mask WRONG. Put down the phone, stop with the selfies and LISTEN. **Cover your NOSE AND MOUTH.” In the photo, the three passengers clearly shown only have the mask over their mouths,
The continuous level-headed discussion of whether high-ranking government officials should be forced to undergo drug testing has quite recently been exposed. A few individuals from Congress were quite recently uncovered for being on a reiteration of mind-altering medications which a pharmacist in Washington, D.C’s. top legislators quite recently uncovered subsequent to feeling guilty about a portion of the medicines he had been giving these authorities for months. He feels that genuine conditions these endorsed meds are to treat can and do have some especially condemning impacts on the sorts of choices these Congress individuals are depended to make. Many lower-level government workers are legitimately compelled to undergo random drug testing for the undeniable reason for being in a data touchy position. Since these individuals should be clear personality and judgment just to deal with paperwork and procedures, shouldn’t the individuals who settle on the huge choices mu
