I ask Siri, what is Christian Nationalism? She said "Christian nationalists in the United States advocate "a fusion of identitarian Christian identity and cultural conservatism with American civic belonging." It has been noted to bear overlap with Christian fundamentalism, white supremacy, the Seven Mountain Mandate movement, and dominionism."

The Deron Harris Podcast Season #3 EP# 131 - FLORIDA REBOUNDS

After Hurricanes Helane and Milton,  Floridians have to find the strength to pick up the pieces and move on.

Hurricane Milton has had a devastating impact on Florida, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. 

Hurricane Milton made landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast as a powerful Category 3 storm near Siesta Key, about 70 miles south of Tampa. The hurricane rapidly intensified from a tropical depression to a Category 5 storm in just over 48 hours, setting a record for the fastest intensification in the Atlantic.

- At least nine deaths have been reported across the state.
- Over 3.3 million utility customers lost power.
- Approximately 11 million people were at risk of flooding.
- More than 125 homes were destroyed, many in senior citizen communities.

- The storm generated multiple tornadoes, with at least nine reported in St. Lucie County alone.
- St. Petersburg experienced 18.31 inches of rainfall, a once-in-a-millennium event.
- Wind gusts reached up to 107 mph in Venice Beach, Sarasota County.

- The fabric roof of Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays, was severely damaged.
- A construction crane in downtown Tampa was toppled.
- Widespread flooding and road damage occurred throughout the state.

- Major river flooding is expected to continue through the weekend.
- Coastal areas remain under threat from dangerous conditions.

Should Floridaians Start Packing Up and Moving Out of State?

The decision to move out of state is a personal one that depends on various factors. While Florida does face hurricane risks, it's important to consider:

1. Florida's emergency management has improved over the years.
2. Building codes have been strengthened to better withstand hurricanes.
3. Many other states face their own natural disaster risks (earthquakes, tornadoes, wildfires).
4. Florida offers many benefits, including no state income tax and a warm climate.

Instead of moving, you might consider:

- Ensuring your home is hurricane-resistant
- Having a solid evacuation plan
- Maintaining adequate insurance coverage
- Staying informed about weather forecasts during hurricane season

Ultimately, the decision should be based on your personal risk tolerance, financial situation, and lifestyle preferences.

The Deron Harris Podcast Season #3 EP#130 - P - DIDIT - The Downfall Of "Diddy"

Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and William S. Walker, the Acting Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Office of Homeland Security Investigations (“HSI”), announced that SEAN COMBS, a/k/a “Puff Daddy,” a/k/a “P. Diddy,” a/k/a “PD,” a/k/a “Love,” was arrested last night and charged in a three count Indictment with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.  The Indictment unsealed today alleges that between 2008 and the present, COMBS abused, threatened, and coerced women and others, and led a racketeering conspiracy that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, among other crimes.  COMBS is expected to be presented in Manhattan federal court this afternoon before Magistrate Judge Robyn F. Tarnofsky. 

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “As alleged in the Indictment, for years, Sean Combs used the business empire he controlled to sexually abuse and exploit women, as well as to commit other acts of violence and obstruction of justice.  Today, he is charged with racketeering and sex trafficking offenses.  If you have been a victim of Combs’ alleged abuse – or if you know anything about his alleged crimes – we urge you to come forward.  This investigation is far from over.”

HSI Acting Special Agent in Charge William S. Walker said: “Today, we shatter any false notion of impunity as we uncover the defendant's alleged pattern of manipulation, exploitation, and outright abuse.  Make no mistake: we are here today only because of the unwavering strength of victims and witnesses who have already endured unspeakable hardships.  I commend them for their courage and urge anyone who believes they are a victim of sex trafficking to contact HSI by email at [email protected], or via our mobile tip-line: 1-877-4-HSITIP.”

According to the Indictment unsealed today:[1]

From at least 2008 through the present, COMBS led a criminal enterprise that existed to facilitate his abuse and exploitation of women, to protect his reputation, and to conceal his conduct.  As part of that criminal enterprise, COMBS, along with other members and associates of the enterprise, committed crimes including sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice. 

Among other things, COMBS’ sexual abuse of women included causing them to engage in frequent, days-long sexual activity with male commercial sex workers, some of whom were transported over state lines.  These events, which COMBS referred to as “Freak Offs,” were elaborate sex performances that COMBS arranged, directed, and often electronically recorded.  To ensure participation in Freak Offs, COMBS used violence and intimidation, and leveraged his power over victims—power he obtained through obtaining and distributing narcotics to them, exploiting his financial support to them and threatening to cut off the same, and controlling their careers.  COMBS also threatened his victims, including by threatening to expose the embarrassing and sensitive recordings he made of Freak Offs if the women did not comply with his demands.   

COMBS’ efforts to control women included repeated physical abuse.  COMBS assaulted women by, among other things, striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at, and kicking them.  COMBS similarly assaulted witnesses to his abuse.  These assaults often resulted in injuries to the victims, which took days or weeks to heal. 

To commit these crimes, COMBS relied on his power as the leader of a multi-faceted business empire.  Employees of COMBS' businesses—including high ranking supervisors, security staff, personal assistants, and household staff—acted as COMBS’ intermediaries to, among other things, arrange travel and hotel rooms; stock the hotel rooms for COMBS’ commercial sex activity; contact or locate women and other individuals whom he targeted for abuse; and conceal and cover up the abuse.  This criminal concealment included efforts to prevent law enforcement from learning about his abuse.

If you believe you are victim of a crime perpetrated by Sean Combs, please contact HSI at [email protected] or via their mobile tip-line at 1-877-4-HSITIP, and reference this case.

*                *                *

COMBS, 54, of Miami, Florida, is charged with one count of racketeering conspiracy, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison; one count of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison and a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison; and one count of transportation for purposes of prostitution, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. 

The statutory maximum and mandatory penalties are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the judge. 

Mr. Williams praised the outstanding investigative work of HSI and the Southern District of New York Special Agents, Digital Forensic Unit, and the Complex Analytical and Social Media Enhancement Team at the New York/New Jersey High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area. 

This case is being handled by the Office’s Civil Rights Unit in the Criminal Division.  Assistant U.S. Attorneys Meredith Foster, Emily A. Johnson, Christy Slavik, Madison Reddick Smyser and Mitzi Steiner.

The charges contained in the Indictment are merely accusations.  The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.   

[1] As the introductory phrase signifies, the entirety of the text of the Indictment, and the description of the Indictment set forth herein, constitutes only allegations, and every fact described therein should be treated as an allegation.
