The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

 

The good:

ICYMI --

The bad: 

Millions of Cubans awoke on Sunday to find their homes still without power after another partial grid failure overnight, deepening a crisis that has raised questions over the viability of the government's efforts to reestablish electrical service.

The country's top electricity official, Lazaro Guerra, confirmed a partial grid collapse in the western provinces of Cuba, which includes Havana, late on Saturday.

 

Technicians were working to resolve the issue, Guerra said, but did not provide a timeline for when power would be restored to the region.

 

The capital of nearly two million residents appeared to be entirely without electricity early on Sunday, as many Cubans formed lines for subsidized rations and mulled the situation outside their homes.

 

State-run digital news outlet CubaDebate reported that the country's largest power plant, Antonio Guiteras, was back online Sunday and would begin contributing to a restoration of service over the course of the day.

 

A third grid failure late on Saturday marked a major setback in the government's efforts to quickly restore power to exhausted residents already suffering from severe shortages of food, medicine and fuel.

 

The clock was ticking as Hurricane Oscar bore down on northeastern Cuba early on Sunday, threatening to further complicate the government's plans to restore power.

 

Cuba's meteorological survey warned of "an extremely dangerous situation" in eastern Cuba. The entire region was largely without electricity or communication ahead of the storm, which packed winds as high as 100 miles per hour (161 kph) by midmorning Sunday...

How much longer that regime will last (even with Russian subsidies) remains to be seen.  But the certainty is that Hurricane (now Tropical Storm) Oscar coming ashore and creating more havoc will cause significantly more suffering for the Cuban people.

 

The ugly:

A Donald Trump supporter attending one of the former president's political events over the weekend warned that Vice President Kamala Harris would "meet her maker real quick" if she did not pray. He also advised her to drop out of the race.

Before Trump's town hall event in Pennsylvania on Sunday, a supporter named Andrew told Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) that he was there "to represent the truth, Jesus Christ."

Despite Harris attending church earlier on Sunday, the man said she and other Democrats had "sold out for the devil." 

"They don't want anything to do with God," he said. "I think [Harris] better get on her hands and her knees and start crying out to the one and true living God because if not, she's gonna meet her maker real quick."

"I think she's dumb," he added. "She's one of the dumbest women that could ever run. She shouldn't run."

"This is a man's world. This is a man's country. This... this country is supposed to be run like a business. And that is why that Donald Trump is the one that we need at this moment."

We don't know where to start in deconstructing and debunking this dimbulb MAGAt misogynist's completely ass- backwards views, nor would it matter because he clearly doesn't have the brainpower of a gnat.  But one observation:  judging from his "argument," it seems he got his talking points from a Trump Truth Social post.  Great minds...!
