washington tonight , cutting losses. that s the focus of tonight s angle. now it s natural that we as humans often have a hard time letting go , admitting to ourselves that the path we re on is a dead end, that the goal we set is unattainable or that the cost of achieving are just too high. instinctively we feel like ending something prematurely. maybe it s a sign of weakness that quitting for losers but especially in politics the opposite is often true with joe biden as president, there are sadly many areas where america needs to cut her losses first we need to cut our losses in ukraine. if you hadn t noticed, the ukrainians are not winning as our own nation is hurting. we ve allocated more than fifty three billion dollars and counting in humanitarian military aid to help them beat back the russians. but now well, here s a headline from bloomberg. putin may win in ukraine, but the real war is just starting and more americans now say russia rather than ukraine is winning th

The movement its been what we call wobbling where its going back and forth between west and north and west and north. The question is when does it finally start to make that really sharp turn to the north. We focus on the maximum wind gusts. Notice for the most part its the western half of florida where we have our strongest winds. Key west, this will be our peak maximum wind gusts around 138 Miles Per Hour. But say up around ft. Myers 136, even tampa going to be in the triple digits right around 116 Miles Per Hour. The track its
Across, not roads, but more like rivers with a few bags in their hands. Th they just grabbed a few snacks, pillows. In many cases they were carrying pets. As we talked about last night, still one of the big issues is power. 100 of the island not having power right now, only those that can get to generators, also, the first thing people still ask me is, do you have signal. People desperate to find out the condition of loved ones who they cant get to because of flooding many because of debris . And loved ones who cant get out, because of that same reason. The government has announced that fema has critical supplies right now enroute to puerto rico, and that is via ship. Anderson. What are some of the main priorities now that the storm has passed . Power for the government. I mean, they have already before maria even came here, the government said that they believed that it would take not days, not weeks, but rather months to restore power.

Reporter immediately there were cracks in the president s conservative base, breitbart dubbed the president amnesty don while ann coulter tweeted, at this point who doesnt want trump impeached .

This definitely had shades of that remark and im glad to see that because during the campaign, donald trump ran as something of an isolationist and if you watched todays speech, he took you on a World Tour Of American Priorities and american engagement.
