Kingston, Jamaica --

Get ready to batten down the hatches...as a new possible hurricane named Bonnie is gaining stem here in the Gulf of Mexico.

Currently known as "Tropical Depression 3," the system has formed here in Bahamas earlier today (Thursday morning) according to the folks over at the National Hurricane Center.

Right now, winds of 35 miles per hour are at the center of this storm, and gaining.

If early projections are correct, this storm will probably threaten operations at the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The system showed significant signs of intensification during the overnight hours with thunderstorm activity increasing. Above is a map of the projected path....and not good news....it could end up hitting New Orleans.

The National Hurricane Center issued tropical storm warnings and watches for portions of the Bahamas and Florida. If the system is powerful enough to become a tropical storm, with sustained winds of at least 39 mph, it would be named Bonnie. (Below, the skies above Kingston this afternoon.)

Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen told CNN that "Bonnie" will have a direct impact on the area and could disrupt operations for 10 to 14 days.

Rain is a constant here in Jamaica which is around 400 miles due west of The Bahamas. I will be returning to Los Angeles on Friday and will be returning to Kingston in late August to continue work documenting the works of the Mustard Seed Communities and it's Founder Msgr. Gregory Ramikissoon.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
