[Daily Caller] Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton weighed in on the deadliest mass shooting in US history, claiming Monday morning that there would have been more deaths if the shooter had a "silencer."
"Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer," Clinton tweeted on Monday, "which the NRA wants to make easier to get."

Since nearly every shooter has turned out to be Islamic, or a person on the left she's trying to control the narrative in case the odds play out again.

Probably would have been less deaths with a silencer. Bullet velocity and range would have been reduced, back pressure might have interfered with auto-firing physics, and the thing might have disintegrated under the excess stress, and sent splinters into the shooter's eyes, ending the assault early.

And someone had put silencer on Hillie's mouth when she was first complainer (or a sock, or anything), more people would be alive today. At least the ones in Benghazi.
Tech note: Current commercially made suppressors are made out of Inconel, just like the turbine blades of a jet engine. Or at least Ruger does.

[PJ] A Puerto Rican police officer says that the United States military needs to take over disaster relief on the hurricane-ravaged island because the local government is not doing what needs to be done.
The distraught female officer, who was able to get a call in to a Hispanic radio station in New York (La Mega) last week, described the gross incompetence and inaction she has been witnessing in the wake of the hurricane. She said she couldn't give her name because she works for Puerto Rico's police department.
FEMA reported in a news release on September 21 that commodities such as meals, water, cots, and blankets were already pre-positioned and ready for distribution at its Distribution Center and Warehouse in San Juan. More supplies have been shipped in since then.
As of September 30, at least 10,000 shipping containers of food, water, medicine and other critical supplies were sitting on the docks at the port in San Juan, but were not moving because of a lack of truck drivers, some of whom appear to be on strike.
The frustrated officer said red tape was preventing people from getting the supplies they need.
Fighting tears, she said Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz was not allowing anyone to distribute the aid and begged that the U.S. armed forces take over and distribute the aid and stop Governor Rossello and Mayor Cruz from "doing what they are doing."
"It's an abuse," she sobbed. "It looks like communism in our own island!"
She said "people are helping us but they are not accepting it. They are not accepting any more help because supposedly they have to wait for the [licenses] ..."

Ah, it's all about control to them. The situation can be going to hell, but what's more important is the feeling of control over the situation. It is very satisfying to issue commands and have them obeyed.

Just when you thought Trump Derangement Syndrome had finally leveled off, they now go full scorched earth on the entire island in order to blame him.
[Got the remember this is the party of slavery and segregation who've been blaming all America for decades for their deeds. Shouldn't be surprising that after decades of malfeasance of office in PR they want to dump their handiwork on him.]

If they hand out supplies, they won't have any. You wouldn't want them to be without supplies, would you?

We have an 'instant gratification' world, but from my perspective it looks like rescue and recovery are going at least as well as can reasonably be expected under the circumstances.

The drivers could be at home trying to protect their immediate family in all of the chaos -- simplest explanation... Many armies had massive desertion rates in similar situations.
#14
US Military should take over, use Military drivers to drive shipping containers to places accessible to trucks and helicopters to move shipping containers to further or less accessible areas.
Don't wait for the corrupt, go around them and make them look the fool.

....problem with that is if they are effective, people may ask why bother with the incompetent and corrupt pols and bureaucrats. Can't allow that to surface.
[APNEWS] In Puerto Rico’s hurricane-ravaged capital, it seems Carmen Yulin Cruz is everywhere these days: handing out bags of ice, wading through chest-deep floodwaters, hugging people in need of comfort.
Cruz has long won attention across the island for her hands-on style of leadership in San Juan. But this week she rose to international prominence as a target of Twitter attacks by U.S. President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ‐ including one tweet Sunday calling her and others "politically motivated ingrates."
The insult came hours after "Saturday Night Live" portrayed Cruz in a skit highlighting the latest controversy for the 54-year-old former human resources executive, who occupies one of Puerto Rico’s most powerful posts and has become something of a divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... figure on the island of 3.4 million residents.
Some of Puerto Rico’s mayors have praised federal hurricane relief efforts, while others have joined Cruz in saying they have been insufficient and slow-moving.
In a U.S. territory whose relationship with the mainland is usually the single most prominent political issue, Cruz backs independence but is a member of the Popular Democratic Party, which supports maintaining the territorial status quo. A graduate of Boston University and Carnegie Mellon, she is also a former member of the island’s House of Representatives.

Lovely photo ops - instead of meeting with the FEMA folks or leaning on the striking truck drivers to get in the game. You know, doing stuff that actually matters. Here's hoping she becomes as famous as Ray Nagin!
Tune in tomorrow when Donald Trump offers to sell the entire island on eBay.
