Would it have killed Ron to simply speak briefly and tell them "Thanks for all you're doing(?)"

Typical Lumper, then you'd complain he wasn't specific.

Biden's phoning it in, Biden's literally not doing anything.

Shut up. :)

His political career, such as it was, is now over.

LOL Yeah this was the hair that broke the camels back.

What a stupid comment.

Dodging them also seems political.

Only if you advertise it, only one side advertised it.

He can now blame the federal government for not helping Florida.

Not a Florida or DeSantis fan, but her making a big deal about this is pretty damaging to her.

What can she offer?

Oooooh, Bootsie upset? Angry little boy? Make like MAGA man-child. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Idk, given the narratives here on the DR she can't really do anything, she doesn't set policy, has no power?

Are you saying otherwise?

Seems like nothing but a political move on her part, trying to get DeSantis to claim she saved the day.

Towns, Cities, County State will make assessments and submit it to the Federal government for long term help.

This is very similar to the FEMA Grants that are in the Shelter Program which fund Immigrant housing. The NGO's supply receipts and apply and they receive their money.

Ergo there's no need to call them in congress, they don't even know how large to make the funding.

Note that the It still has enough to meet immediate needs, Mayorkas said. comment was made before Milton had spun up.

This is irrelevant, he knows there is a potential for more Hurricanes, it would be silly for him to speculate like this ignoring future hurricanes.

What I don't understand is the administration has found funds for Lebanon relief ($157 Million) but little for the immediate needs of Citizens.

It would be interesting to see application data, not so much acceptance data.

My niece from CA chose to attend Alabama over Cal Berkeley and UC Santa Barbara. Just to get away.

A friends daughter goes to LSU for same reason.

Is this our new normal, and if so, how are the Florida coasts going to remain habitable for human-built structures and life?

Stop with the dramatics

Florida wasn't habitable, until AC.

Look at the geography, it flat for a reason.

Miami is fine. On East coast.

To be more concise:

Logistics, the means of strategy and tactics, determines what is practically possible in war.

Its nature is expressed in operational choices and decisions, and is fundamental to military preparedness.

Not really worth reading.

The military is built to do this, if they aren't they are going to lose. But it needs to be activated.

I have subscription software in which lets me see the activity within the airspace. (Even if the military turns off their beacons there are signs).
There were no NOTAMs for almost 2-3 days after the fact. Then it took them almost 5 days to shut down an airport for resupply.

As comparison, if there is a fire in California, the nearby airport is shut down for CalFire, and resources are deployed within a day.

The response to the hurricane was a reaction to it after the fact, it shows there is no plan. There was little to no preparation in these States. Which do get hit with hurricanes and floods less often but it still occurs in NC.

Regarding the amount of material needed, there are many logistical bases around DC that contain huge amounts of supplies in the event of a war. These bases should be utilized, and activated.

The fact that there is an enormous amount of material and supplies that have to move in an emergency should dictate the infrastructure and preparation needed to do this. But it's not activated even though it's paid for. It would make GREAT training excersizes, and allow them to better their plans in the actual event of a war, or limited nuclear response. Thats the failure.

What this episode has shown me that a serious earthquake in California the response is going to be pitiful. I am amazed at how terrible the government responds.
you see this as a political thing, I am just looking at the reality of what Americans have paid for, and what they are getting back in return. Its pitiful.

Again the only State I see as organized is Florida.

Why is that? What could the Federal Government learn about dealing with Hurricanes from Florida? Have they ever asked?

IMO There should be a playbook that the public can see, and watch as the government executes it. This isn't complicated.

Funny no Lumper can figure it out

But this just shows how far left Lumpers have lumped.

#53 TL;DR

It must really bum you out that someone somewhere is getting help.

#5 | Posted by donnerboy

You're confused, as usual.

Signing a loan document and getting it forgiven isn't help.

It's me, and immigrant paying for it. Taking dollars from my children.

So ---- you.

And never let them forget that blue states are subsidizing the -------- states with our $
#3 | Posted by truthhurts

Not sure what you mean

All States are taking money from the federal government. It's sort of how the federal government makes States do what it wants.

Are you saying California does not need it's school subsidies from the federal government?

Or firefighting subsidies?

I could go on.

I sure would enjoy just paying California taxes rather than Federal and State. I hate the IRS.

How would you make the rural areas generate more GDP?

It's kinda like why they are called rural.

Doesn't change the fact, though, that the derided blue areas are almost always the primary economic engines states

Why? Why do you imagine that's true? Why are these places blue?

When I travelled across the country this summer, I preferred staying in rural America. It was more beautiful, the people were more friendly, and nature is much more easily accessed. The food was original.

No one said visit St Louis. Or Kansas city. They said visit the lake of the Ozarks.

Why is that? As an Asian visiting new States I couldn't help but notice the blue areas sucked. And I live in one, makes me wonder about what I am doing in California.

And people ages 15 to 24 made up half of new chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis cases in 2022.

Thanks for this, as someone with an daughter its nice to know, keep track of my girl. Let her know.

The more you know.

@#2 ... This is News because?? ...
Yeah, I wondered the same thing.

Because you don't have children, probably weren't an engineer, and don't know what the demographic range for "youth" is.

MAGA seems to prefer to cherry-pick quotes in their lame attempts to justify their lies.

The cherry-picking is Gals "article", there's no qualification that is quoted.

FFS people, understand the difference between a contextomy and an actual quote.

Yeah, that's where I disagree with your current alias.

You can disagree, but an engineer would back it up with reasons and logic.

And I have never seen that from Gaslighter.

#52 | POSTED BY GAL_TUESDAY

Strange MSN uses his words, the same as Bellringer, but then MSN doesn't quote Mayorkas again, making some vague references to qualifications.

Can't you get a real statement Gal or "qualifications"? Or is it all just fluff?

The fact is Bellringer assertion is true.

@#41 ... FEMA has put out a website trying to debunk rumors and claims about Hurricane Helene recovery.

Some of this is false or over generalization.

There's a lot of propaganda on both sides.

But doesn't ameliorate the latency after the storm.

Florida as much as I hate to admit, cleaned it's mess, and then cleaning up in NC.

Feds have really screwed the pooch on this it can't be denied.

I don't understand why thinking individual would have confidence in these numbers.

It's hilarious people take this release seriously, after years of it being incorrect.

Let's wait to the revision before we pop the Champagne.
