Quaestor said...: FEMA is now interfering with Starlink's efforts to re-connect the devastated citizens of western North Carolina to the world.

It seems like Kamala is trying to prevent those people from casting ballots. That couldn't be true. Could it?; 10/6/24, 7:52 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Three women and a storm.

TikTok via X: This looks like what network news television used to do

TikTok via Reddit: "Hurricane Ian survivor has a message for those spreading misinformation about FEMA..."

ABC This Week via X: "FEMA chief Deanne Criswell says criticizing her agency is “dangerous.”"

"Come in" she said,
I'll give you shelter from the storm."; 10/6/24, 8:29 PM
Mason G said...: "It seems like Kamala is trying to prevent those people from casting ballots. That couldn't be true. Could it?

Hard to say for sure, maybe she just wants to be the one to get those people hooked up. $42 billion was dedicated to getting the job done. In other news...

"California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed legislation that prevents local governments from requiring voters to present identification at the polls, a law aimed at curbing conservative efforts in cities like Huntington Beach."

Q. Who is opposed to insuring that only eligible voters cast ballots?
A. People who intend to cheat.; 10/6/24, 8:40 PM
Dixcus said...: Hillary Clinton ... get this ... a washed up Arkansas hick who's kid looks exactly like Web Hubbel for some reason ... thinks she is "in control" of the rest of us. When she cannot even control her own husband.

Somebody needs to feed her another cheeseburger and vodka tonic and tell her to take a good look around at her crumbling empire.; 10/6/24, 9:09 PM
Disparity of Cult said...: "Please No More" Tracy Nelson; 10/6/24, 9:09 PM
Dixcus said...: FEMA is NOWHERE to be found in the devastated regions of North and South Carolina. They are completely absent. They aren't handing out supplies. They didn't even pre-position supplies in this area. And they are threatening arrest of anybody who tries to fly in supplies to this area or rescue trapped people off mountains that are currently inaccessible due to roads being entirely washed out.

I DARE Deanne Criswell to show her face there. She'll find out what dangerous is.; 10/6/24, 9:12 PM

Dixcus said...: NY Post: FEMA abandons residents of Devasted North Carolina town

https://nypost.com/2024/10/06/us-news/fema-abandons-residents-of-devastated-nc-town-because-of-road-closed-sign/

Seems dangerous for them to do that. Puts their "employees" in danger when they show up and try to scare off rescuers and others helping. Those employees might find themselves in REAL danger if they show their faces.; 10/6/24, 9:18 PM
Political Junkie said...: DJT stole my look. And I am 54. No fair!; 10/6/24, 9:23 PM
Gospace said...: I guess closed road signs are the FEMA equivalent of sloped roofs for the Secret Service.

They're a disaster response agency. OSHA would have nightmares viewing what real people do in disaster recovery. Like driving around road closed signs.; 10/6/24, 9:36 PM

Eva Marie said...: 1. Why aren’t news organizations sending in drones so we can see the devastation and FEMA progress.
2. Shouldn’t our satellites be able to locate every single person still stranded for helicopter evacuation or at least to drop supplies.; 10/6/24, 9:48 PM

Follow it up with yellow matter custard for dessert; 10/6/24, 10:28 PM
Jim at said...: Do you really think people are going to look at this post - and the format - and try to wade through it all?

Or are they going to look at the author, see a page of gibberish and scroll on by?; 10/6/24, 10:31 PM

Dr Weevil said...: If you're going to quote someone else's statistics - I've already seen these, word for word, quoted on Twitter - you are morally, ethically, and quite possibly legally obligated to tell us whom you are quoting.; 10/6/24, 11:05 PM

Dr Weevil said...: An awful lot of people who were paid to work for Trump were actually working against him. If they criticize him, it's a point in his favor.; 10/6/24, 11:06 PM
Achilles said...: If you support Kamala Harris you are a fascist and have nothing to do with what this country was founded to be.; 10/6/24, 11:21 PM
Eva Marie said...: I just did an informal analysis of your comments:
negative word count: 63%
Incoherent ramblings: 87%
Experts say it might be time for your nap.; 10/6/24, 11:22 PM
Drago said...: I love that the New Soviet Democraticals are going hard with the "age" stuff against Trump! It's awesome!

Think about those things the New Soviet Democraticals dont dare to mention. That gives an observer a PERFECT sense of the race despite the massive corrupt Cheat Machine the marxists have in place.; 10/6/24, 11:23 PM
Achilles said...: Remember this person claimed that Biden was fine just a few months ago. These people are so stupid they can't even see how dumb they look spouting this crap.

Trump was just on a stage speaking for 4 hours straight. He is in better shape than 95% of Kamala supporters at 78.; 10/6/24, 11:24 PM
Drago said...: Reading the comments of our Usual Leftist Suspects is precisely, exactly, without deviation, like listening to screaming Maoists waving their Little Red Books or apoaratchiks spouting off the "wonders" of the next 10 Year Plan while warning against those darn Kulak wreckers.; 10/6/24, 11:38 PM

Drago said...: It says outsiders that have to fill tens of thousands of govt positions while fighting the deep state russia collusion liars and the ChiCom allied and purchased elected officials and Fauci types, including 50%+ of his "own party" (wink wink) is going to have a rough go at advancing policies that roll back that crew in favor of policies that deliver for the American people.

Which is why Mutaman's newest bestest pals are the Cheneys, the Romneys and the Bushes along with the entirety of the Forever War Neocons and the Shift All US manufacturing Jobs Out Of The US types.

Congratulations!; 10/7/24, 12:37 AM

Those guys are YOUR current political amigos...getting standing ovations at YOUR events now!

But do keep the blinders on. Its a fantastic look for you...and YOUR neocon pals!; 10/7/24, 1:02 AM
Quaestor said...: Karine Jean-Pierre, professional liar; 10/7/24, 1:09 AM
Drago said...: The very best part about Mutaman's self-own comment, and there have been so many, is this:

Over the last 20 years as the masks have all come off on all the players and corrupted institutions my side of the political equation has moved away from all deep staters, neocons, authoritarian censors, forever war fanatics, etc. While at the very same time the Mutamans of the world have aggressively and passionately and lovingly moved to embrace every single one of those types....across the board...without exception.

Without. Exception.; 10/7/24, 1:09 AM
Drago said...: You just know Mutaman has a Liz Cheney In-Home shrine right next to his/her/xer's pro-Hamas islamic supremaciat alliance flag!; 10/7/24, 1:14 AM

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: The flop sweat of desperation flows heavily from the left side of the commentariat here. It’s an amazing thing to see. The striking contrast between mainstream media coverage of Katrina and the universal blackout of on the ground coverage of Helene is exactly like the media coverage of Trump’s presidency compared to Biden. Biden is still unfit yet he is still president. Ignoring the story didn’t change the fact he was too addled to serve it just delayed the inevitable until he crashed on live TV. The media ignoring the dead, dying, missing, homeless and desperate people in Appalachia can’t and won’t last forever. Just like Biden, these desperate victims of FEMA and the storm will find their way to the spotlight and tell the truth. We need to hear the whole story. We will get the facts.; 10/7/24, 5:11 AM
Humperdink said...: Bidenomics success stories continue as crude oil prices are up an additional 2.5% this morning.; 10/7/24, 6:30 AM
West TX Intermediate Crude said...: The only reason that oil is <$100 is that Biden emptied half of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to salvage what was left of his re-election chances before the Democratic Party coup.; 10/7/24, 7:09 AM
lonejustice said...: Remembering October 7 -- One Year Later.

For many Israelis, 10-7 is their 9-11. To put it in perspective, the number of Israelis massacred by Hamas terrorists was almost 40 times the amount Americans killed in New York City, given the population size proportionality. Here is an excellent presentation by Asaf Romirowsky, executive director of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East. He holds a BA from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and a doctorate from Kings College London. The presentation was sponsored by The Friends of Israel, a U.S. conservative Christian Zionist organization that I financially support. Here is the video:

Jersey Fled said...: Three of the five most accurate polls from 2020 (AtlasIntel, Trafalgar and Rasmussen Group) are now showing Trump ahead in the national vote.; 10/7/24, 11:42 AM
Jersey Fled said...: PS: I couldn’t find current numbers from the other two, Wick and Insider Advantage. So all three of the top five that I can find have Trump ahead in the popular vote as of this date.; 10/7/24, 12:24 PM

"Walter nailed it. On occasion, they do feel embarrassment and perhaps even shame."

I know you folks aren't too bight (bad genes?) but do you actually think several people simultaneously deleted our anti-Trump posts?; 10/7/24, 2:52 PM
walter said...: Oh no! Must have been some good stuff!; 10/7/24, 3:26 PM
walter said...: Usually such deletions indicate by blog administrator or the like. You've been impersonated?; 10/7/24, 3:27 PM

Nobody's stopping you from starting your own blog.; 10/7/24, 3:55 PM
Aggie said...: "I know you folks aren't too bight (bad genes?) but do you actually think several people simultaneously deleted our anti-Trump posts? "

First listed post deleted at 10/6/24, 9:15 PM, last listed posted deleted 10/7/24, 12:50 AM, the following day. "simultaneously".

Is this a new conspiracy theory you're developing, or just malinformation that you're trying to propagate? Are you accusing someone else of deleting your posts?; 10/7/24, 4:36 PM

"Is this a new conspiracy theory you're developing, or just malinformation that you're trying to propagate? Are you accusing someone else of deleting your posts?

I'm just stating facts. Not accusing anyone of anything-you have mistaken me for a Know Nothing.
And, if it will get the stick out of your ass, I will change "simultaneously" to "within a few hours."; 10/7/24, 4:45 PM
