Prepare For The Storm!

You are ready, Anons! Now, be sure to prepare for the storm! As President Donald Trump is set to deliver the State of the Union before Congress tonight, we are witnessing a dizzy swirl of jarring activity around the world.

Our neighbor to the south, Mexico, is engaged in a brutal battle with its drug cartels. These cartels were openly running Mexican society, even using machine guns and armed vehicles to patrol their territories. But with the cartels laying siege to cities, and burning down swaths of beach towns like Puerto Vallarta while terrorizing tourists, the Mexican government had little choice but to go after the leaders behind the carnage.

Meanwhile, Iran remains on the table. Will that nation back off from pushing its nuclear arsenal, or will the United States — or Israel — opt to bomb the reprobates?

There have been some positive developments. The United States won at the Winter Olympics. as the U.S. men’s hockey team whipped Canada in overtime. Also, President Trump sidestepped another assassination attempt, this time mounted by an armed dissident shot down while attempting to enter Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate. The president was in Washington D.C. — not at home in Florida — but Secret Service still gunned down the would-be killer. Pray! Here’s more from And We Know.

He Got Quite A Shock!

A tourist from India came to Paris to experience its charm, its arts and its cuisine. Instead, the tourist found himself in a dirty and declining Third World enclave, every street full of illegals from Africa, hustling to stay alive.

The globalists who sold Europe down the river need to be lined up along the banks of the Seine — and shot! Here’s more from Paul Joseph Watson.

 

Hollywood Freaking Out

Hollywood is in panic mode because Los Angeles tourism is drying up and more and more productions are moving out of state.

They’re blaming Trump for the tariffs (huh?) and are worried he’ll take the tax exempt status away from the Academy. Here’s more from Clownfish TV.

Haley Has No Home Advantage

Former President Donald Trump crushed Nikki Haley in Saturday’s South Carolina primary. While South Carolina is Haley’s home state and she is a former governor, she could only manage to carry three of the state’s 46 counties. Her best performances came in the tourism belt of Charleston County and in Richland County, home of the state capital of Columbia.

Still, with about 75 percent of the vote counted, Trump led 357,692 votes versus 233,023 for Haley. That gave Trump more than 60 percent of the votes, and Haley around 39 percent.

Haley hasn’t won a single state yet, not even New Hampshire, where deadbeat Democrats swamped the polls, seeking to embarrass Trump. Rich-heeled Democratic leftists might still donate money to Haley, but she’s clearly alienating Republicans now. Most are calling for her to butt out, so Trump can prepare to whip Joe Biden, or whichever drone the Democrats throw at the voters. Here’s Trump’s victory speech Saturday night on Fox News.

 

Malaria’s Back; Border’s At Risk

Thanks to creepy Joe Biden and the hordes of illegals he has unleashed upon the country, malaria has returned after a 20-year absence from the United States.

Already, 5 cases have been identified in Florida and Texas, meaning two of our most treasured vacation and tourist destinations are becoming much riskier places to visit. All of the afflicted Florida residents live in Sarasota County, while the Texas case was reported in Cameron County, home of Brownsville along the Mexican border. Of course, Biden and his Democratic backers probably don’t care, seeing as how Florida and Texas don’t vote for the leftist stooges anyway!

But former CIA officer Michael Jaco, who lives in Florida, says chaotic and unsanitary conditions are likely to spread to many other states and regions across the country. Do the Democrats in charge give a rat’s ass? Apparently not.

Jaco predicts the fiery riots that are now the scourge of France will spread across the rest of Europe, and on into the United States and Canada as the summer progresses. “France is in revolution mode,” he says, adding the United States will soon “be the same.”

Here, he shares observations with Kirk Elliott, a wealth management specialist from Colorado and author of the new book Thriving in the Economic Tsunami.

Las Vegas Crapping Out

The April numbers are in for Las Vegas and it appears Sin City is crapping out. According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, visitors to Las Vegas in April 2019 totaled 3,542,000. In April of this year–the first full month since the cornonavirus shutdown, that number plummeted drastically to 106,900, a 97 percent drop! Digging deeper into the report, we find that 529,500 conventiongoers visited Vegas in 2019, compared to a big, fat goose egg this year, a staggering 100 percent decline. Now, the money numbers.

The gaming revenue in all of Clark County last April, which includes downtown Las Vegas and The Strip, was $808,648,000. That number crashed to $3,719,000, a decline of 99.5 percent. You can’t make this stuff up! And with Gov. Steve Sisolak more than likely getting his marching orders from the Deep State, like all of the other Democrat guvs, the future of Las Vegas doesn’t look too bright. This episode of Jacobslifeinvegas gives us more detail on the city’s financial state of affairs and opines on what the future holds.

Las Vegas Rolls Snake Eyes

The majestic neon signs are still aglitter atop Las Vegas casinos, but inside the slots are eerily silent and the tables empty. There are no tourists on the sidewalks of the world-famous Strip and along Fremont Street downtown, a stark contrast from last year when more than 42 million people from around the planet visited Las Vegas. The tourism, hospitality, leisure and gambling industries provide one of every three jobs in the state, but with the city shut down for nearly two months now, nearly 350,000 residents have filed for unemployment. Despite the gloom and doom, many Las Vegans have come up with creative ways to make ends meet and help less-fortunate neighbors. Here’s more from the Washington Post.

Along Came Anthony Bourdain

Once upon a time, travel shows were stodgy as fuck. Television tourism was populated with pleasant, proper people who strolled the Champs-Élysées or the beaches of Rio to show you how to do pleasant, proper, prepackaged things. Then came Anthony Bourdain. More from Reason.TV.

Britain’s Sea Forts

The Maunsell Army Forts could easily be mistaken for a sci-fi movie set on the Planet Hoth. The fortified structures were named after their creator, Guy Maunsell. Built between 1941 and 1942 in the United Kingdom, their purpose was to protect the region from World War II enemy fire. The structures are now in a state of disrepair, but continue to be a popular tourist attraction.
