Sorry for the silence. Many hours of hard chasing. Many hours of picking a location & then immediately changing my mind. Many hours of neurotic driving up & down the west coast of #Jamaica in the darkness, in the rain, hating the whole mission. But I finally settled on a spot,

I think folks that read my posts a lot will detect a bit of a tone change tonight. Really just a bad, bad situation for Jamaica.

Hurricane Melissa, Cat 5, is unstoppable. But the absence of U.S. aid? That's a choice. In 2007, USAID had boots on the ground in Jamaica BEFORE Dean hit. In 2025, as Melissa tears in stronger, Trump gutted the response system. No team. No aid. No statement. That's abandonment.
