Assistance...

Officials in New Bern, a coastal town in Craven County, North Carolina, said at least 150 people were "awaiting rescue" early Friday morning as the dangerous hurricane moved ashore, packing 90-mph winds.

"More are on the way to help us," New Bern officials tweeted early Friday. "You may need to move up to the second story, or to your attic, but WE ARE COMING TO GET YOU." 

Emergency workers said they'd gotten more than 100 calls from residents in need of assistance, but there was no way to reach everyone immediately.

We wish people would heed the warnings.

• Limiting sugar-sweetened beverages and sweets.
• *1,500 milligrams (mg) sodium lowers blood pressure even further than 2,300 mg sodium daily.  

Turkey...

Turkey has reportedly shipped arms to Syrian rebels ahead of a planned regime offensive on Idlib province - which now might be have been put on hold.

Turkey's vocal resistance to the offensive might have also been a stumbling block, with Ankara a key part of the Russian and Iranian-sponsored Astana peace process.

Turkey has suggested it would assist the rebels if such an attack takes place, and allow the Idlib garrisons of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) to be bolstered by the Ankara-sponsored Euphrates Shield force in northern Syria.

Among the weaponry to enter Idlib in recent days are Grad missiles, the FSA officer told the agency.

Turkey has been trying to isolate moderate rebel forces from jihadi organisations - such as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham - in Idlib, as talk of a regime-Iranian-Russian offensive builds.

"Let's get real. Let's get the homeless the help they need," Cuomo said in an interview. "Shelters, mental health, job training et cetera. Second, the New York City Transit Authority is owned by the city and policed by the NYPD. The NYPD used to this. They need to do it again."

The Gov. blame the subway system huge problems, passengers late by 40 minutes each direction, derailments, inconveniences on the homeless...

The Subway system is a big problem and the Gov wants to avoid the responsibility on anything that is that big....

Qualified...

New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon was called an Unqualified Lesbian by some of Cuomo's segregates [Christine Quinn].

Cuomo who couldn't fix the subway system in NYC which serve 6 Million passengers daily considered himself to be .......

Cuomo's Subway...

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo 

"We're not going to make America great again. It was never that great."  

 New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) declared a "state of emergency" but that is just warnings for the coming election.

Cuomo has been directly responsible for the NYC subway System for eight years. It has been obvious he's done nothing but make it worse. The crisis is a clear result of his incompetence, his abysmal politics, and his odious personality.

A quality leader would have seen the problem approaching  and fix it. New York State's budget of 168 Billion dollars annual, but that would not fit the Mediocracy, "it was never that great."
