    And let me repeat—these lies and disinformation aren’t victimless. They directly harm the victims of these storms. I’ve already seen some of the wildest conspiracy theories, like the government controlling the weather, with 'proof' being that the hurricane only hit 'red' areas. I wouldn’t be surprised if these originated as Russian propaganda, exploiting a natural disaster to spread hate, weaken the government, create chaos, and deepen division. It’s more effective now because figures like Musk, Trump, Vance, and Congressional Republicans are willing to politicize a natural disaster.

    That's because they are so greedy they are sick in the head. They don't give a damn who they deceive, who they hurt, or who they screw over in their quest for more and more money and ultimate power over the people. The MAGA politicians and their leader are probably the most vile, corrupt, dangerous, lying bunch of extremists ever in one party in the history of this country.

    Florida might need significant FEMA assistance after Milton, but FEMA may not have the necessary funding.

    This is what Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas said last Wednesday, before Milton developed:

    "We are meeting the immediate needs with the money we have. We are expecting another hurricane to hit," Mayorkas said. "FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season."

    In light of this, a journalist asked Speaker Johnson if he would be calling the House back to vote on a disaster aid supplement. His answer so far is no (he is scheduled to visit NC on Wednesday to continue the MAGA politicking around a natural disaster). By Thursday, FEMA might truly run out of funds to help Florida, and MAGA Republicans will likely double down on the false claim that the Biden administration diverted disaster relief funds to house immigrants, rather than working on passing a disaster aid supplement.

    I used the QR scan on TV yesterday during the Texans Football game to donate 50 to the Red Cross.
    You are all welcome. Good Karma made the Texans win.

    I missed the game but have noticed the NFL doing that during other games.

    If the U.S. government is like China, why did you even emigrate here? Obviously, you don’t believe that.

    How is it that a country that had the dust bown period because of man's lack of protecting the environment has so many climate change deniers, when the evidence is in our own history?

    Thats it in a nutshell, just like Springfield, just like the border bill and now a natural disaster. The trump team wants chaos and the way to get it is to lie even when the truth is debunked minutes later, create enough chaos and no one knows what to believe and will assume the worst. Its a russina bots wet dream to have a natural disaster so close to the election................I have seen some shitty politics but maga has taken it to another level. If trump does win and 46% of the country fall for this BS, you will be in for a rude awakening over the next few years. You`ve had record gain in the stock market and the job sector, gas is down, interest is down and if you think your PB and Jelly are higher now at HEB, you haven't seen anything like the trump plan. All these things he is promising you at the last minute will never appear, same as his first go round.....................how about the health care plan he`s been promising for so many years, hey, at least he has a concept after all this time

    People really need to set aside their political differences. Yes Republicans don’t like the Biden administration and Democrats don’t like DeSantis. What I’m hearing is that both are working together to prepare for Milton and will need to work together very closely in the days to come.

    Sadly the rhetoric is just preventing some MAGA disciples from seeking help. I wouldn't feel bad for them for being such Trump diehards if they hadn't gone through such a trauma
