Alright alright alright back at it again with Hurricane info since Florence is gonna be bearing down on the Carolinas in a few days
Know your local shelters, just in case! IF YOU HAVE PETS BE AWARE OF THE ONES THAT ACCEPT PETS! Unfortunately not all of them do
Beware of price gouging! Especially on gas!
BE PREPARED FOR GAS STATIONS TO RUN OUT OF GAS!
SOMETHING TO ADD:
DO NOT ASSUME YOU’LL BE ABLE TO GET THINGS VIA PRIME RIGHT BEFORE THE STORM
I could not stress this more. It was a HUGE issue last year! Amazon can and WILL run out of things in their warehouses- INCLUDING FANS, BATTERIES, AND PORTABLE CHARGERS. And shipping will be delayed due to the storm! If there’s anything AT ALL you need from amazon via Prime order it ASAP. 3rd party sellers were gouging the shit out of stuff like fans just before Irma last year on amazon so if you want stuff and don’t want to pay and arm and a leg for it, GET IT NOW
Don’t bother with buying things like flour and eggs and milk! Don’t buy perishables! If you lose power they will do nothing for you!
Fill gallon freezer bags with water, seal them tightly with duct tape, and freeze them before the storm! If you lose power you’ll be able to toss them in your fridge to keep it cooler longer! You’ll also have extra emergency water if you need it

Fox guest compares NFL protests to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor: "We're being assaulted by the left"
Burgess Owens: "It's like 9/11 and Peal Harbor, we're being assaulted by the left. ... They're globalists, and they're leftist globalists."Video ››› September 10, 2018 11:33 AM EDT ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
URGESS OWENS (FORMER NFL PLAYER): We now just have Nike, for instance, just joining the fray. And, as we see a little bit less, probably, of the kneeling, we're going to still see the narrative by Nike, and that is a Marxist who's going to be the face in commercials in NFL games from this point moving on.
We have to look at the bigger picture and understand in America that we're under assault. It's like 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, we're being assaulted by the left. And we need to understand who they are. They're globalists, and they're leftist globalists. The worst thing that can happen to our country is to let them get away with it and not understand what their long game is. It's not American, it's not about patriotism. It's profit and politics for them.
STUART VARNEY (HOST): What was the name of your book again?

Just think about the inherent implication of that question for a moment... Especially since they're posing it towards a black woman who was born in Africa.
It's pretty much a tacit admission that this country has always defined itself as a nation which was built on dehumanizing and subjugating black bodies.
For black people we must always being reminded that America's one true legacy is slavery and not as the "Home of the brave and the land of the free."
Does anyone actually think that they would as her this exact same question if she wasn't a black woman of African origin?
And they have the nerve to get mad whenever we point out the fact that America has never progressed from the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow.
America needs to realize that it's not all that...
