Thank you for your service. I confess I did not read the article carefully. I see it is congress that holds a fair bit of responsibility for this situation. It is interesting to note that some of those who voted against extending funding to FEMA represent states that were hard hit by Helene.
September 2019
Mentioning states that would likely be impacted by the storm, he incorrectly included Alabama, which by then was known not to be under threat from the storm. Over the following week, the President repeatedly insisted his comment had been correct. On September 4, he showed reporters a weather map which had been altered with a black Sharpie marker to show the hurricane’s track threatening Alabama. He also reportedly ordered his aides to obtain an official retraction of the weather bureau’s comment that the storm was not headed for Alabama.
When asked by reporters how the Sharpie marker ended up on the printed map, Trump said: “I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
While I don’t disagree that Biden ought to retire and spend his time doing something else, any reasonable person should realize the other guy is not a better choice.
Nypost says that? FEMA says something different.
There’s an obvious two part solution to this that will fix everything perfectly: 1. Tax cuts for large corporations s and the wealthiest Americans, and 2. Make sure trans people don’t feel safe in their communities. I dont see how such a plan can fail.
OK I see. Apparently the DEI hiring process is such that a male applicant with several degrees in administration of justice, a blackbelt in akido and holder of both rifle and pistol expert qualification badges would be passed over in favor of a female applicant whose qualifications include having “been to a laundromat a few times” and “knows all the words to Vanessa Carlton’s 2002 hit single A Thousand Miles”.
Well I’m not in favor of that but in the case where both male and female applicants are equally qualified, it makes more sense to hire the woman because you can pay them less.
So this women’s group wants the secret service to hire less women because… why? I’m not getting how that fixes anything.
The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Department doesn’t have a DEI hiring policy and uh…seems like that didn’t somehow automatically create competence and professionalism.
In 2004, Arizona passed a law requiring voters to provide proof of citizenship to vote
Prop 200, the 2004 Arizona law that started all this trouble, was pushed hard by republicans and in particular promoted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a nonprofit, anti-immigration organizationThe Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a nonprofit, anti-immigration organization in the United States. The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies FAIR as a HATE GROUP with ties to WHITE SUPREMACIST groups. FAIR was founded in 1979 by Michigan surgeon and white nationalist John Tanton.[13][14][15] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation_for_American_Immigration_Reform
So the strange story here is that republicans and white nationalists, in an effort to stop nonwhite people from voting, created this situation in which a large number of white republicans are in fact ineligible to vote, and have been voting illegally for years.
Now that democrats have discovered this issue, white nationalist republicans are trying to blame democrats for the problem that white nationalist republicans created.
Confronted by compelling peer-reviewed scientific evidence of the harms of smoking, the tobacco industry, beginning in the 1950s, used sophisticated public relations approaches to undermine and distort the emerging science.
The industry campaign worked to create a scientific controversy through a program that depended on the creation of industry–academic conflicts of interest. This strategy of producing scientific uncertainty undercut public health efforts and regulatory interventions designed to reduce the harms of smoking.
A number of industries have subsequently followed this approach to disrupting normative science. Claims of scientific uncertainty and lack of proof also lead to the assertion of individual responsibility for industrially produced health risks. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3490543/
These climate alarmists are simply trying to disrupt our God-given prosperity and thwart the inevitable triumph of American commerce. Experts at the ExxonMobil Climate Research Institute assure me there is no actual evidence to suggest climate change is even real.
Ha! A dumb mistake, I deserved that.

I had to marry my wife because all my life I had been looking for someone to jam with. I have met some great musicians, many people far more talented than I am, but it was always hard to find someone who I could instantly and easily connect that flow with and rock out together.
When I met my wife and I heard her strum and sing for the first time I knew she was special. I don’t know how to describe it but our musics can connect in a very easy and pleasing way. She has many other excellent qualities, and in addition she’s hot, but that musical connection is the one essential thing that brought us together. I feel so connected to her, she is my best friend forever and it all started from sharing musical joy together.
I keep it on new.
Over time, Zero Hedge expanded into non-financial political content,[b] including conspiracy theories and fringe rhetoric[3][24] advancing radical right,[15][25] alt-right,[26][27][28] and pro-Russia positions.[1][29][30][31] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Hedge
I sometimes randomly think of that girl on the bus and wonder where she is and how she’s doing.
This got a genuine lol out of me. I’m imagining the patient explanation, “See, the actors can’t hear you…”
