President Donald Trump hosted his top military brass and their spouses for dinner at the White House on Thursday night. The group posed for a photo. Then this exchange with reporters happened:
Trump: “You guys know what this represents? Maybe it’s the calm before the storm.”
Reporter: “What’s the storm?”
Trump: “It could be … the calm, the calm before the storm.”
Reporter: “Iran? ISIS? What storm, Mr. President?”
Trump: “We have the world’s great military people in this room, I will tell you that. And uh, we’re gonna have a great evening, thank you all for coming.”
Reporter: “What storm, Mr. President?”
Trump: “You’ll find out.”

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has restored statistics on its website on Puerto Rico’s access to water and electricity following outrage over their removal. The agency posted the updated statistics on Puerto Rico’s recovery on Friday after drawing criticism for inexplicably removing them on Thursday morning and only providing what amounted to propaganda – such as how many federal workers were on the ground and the extent to which roads had been cleared.

FEMA Administrator Brock Long ripped San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz for her attacks on the agency Sunday, saying “we filtered out the mayor a long time ago” and he didn’t have time for “political noise.” She tweeted Sunday morning that after power collapses in the San Juan hospital, she had asked for help from FEMA and gotten nothing. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/fema-administrator-rips-san-juan-mayors-criticisms-we-dont-have-time-for-the-political-noise/
