Gosh. I wonder if you could characterize this as another conspiracy theory turning into a spoiler alert? Turning into an "I told you so"? Edit: The capper's gonna come when they reveal that pizza was served at some of the parties.

Or maybe it was to say thank you for not attacking Ukraine like he did under Obama and Biden. A few pretty unreliable test kits is a small price to pay for peace and avoiding Armageddon.

So what you're saying is that FEMA is so busy doling out money and managing projects for illegals, and they don't have enough staff and resources to properly manage a hurricane response. It doesn't look good for them, no matter how you spin it. Especially with all the DEI and social justice pandering that's hitting all but the MSM, who sit in their command posts and say the residents aren't pissed off. You have to click on the non-MSM sites for the truth. FEMA's main focus has been on equity and illegals, not hiring based on merit and caring for American in need. (Kinda like the Secret Service, and we've all seen how that's working out)

There was no bipartisan support. They had a token Repub on the committee that wrote the bill. When the bill allowed for 5000 illegals a day before action was required at the border, it was DOA. With or without Trump's input. It was mostly about spending money on bringing newcomers in and processing them into voters faster.

I don't recall online sales being on the list of occupations reserved for Thais. Did I miss an update? Of course, it probably requires a WP, but didn't they recently change the law to allow WP holders to moonlight in other jobs? Tough to keep up... I'd sure hate to be a teacher or other legal foreign employee supplementing my income selling Beanie Babies, and get banged up and booted for that... Does anyone really know? No guessing...

If the FBI and MSM hadn't covered up the laptop, there would be someone else sitting in the White House. And you could all be real happy his last term is almost over.

The only time I object is if there's a queue and it takes awhile. But then, I only object to them not having enough staff. The fact that they check receipts doesn't faze me in the least, understanding that it keeps my prices lower by reducing shrinkage. If it didn't reduce the shrink, they wouldn't waste the wages paying them.

So the technology isn't perfect. They missed by a few miles. You won't find me claiming the Dems caused or steered the hurricane, but I have to give them grudging acknowledgement that they don't let a perfectly good catastrophe go to waste. Just like they didn't let Covid go to waste... Kevin McCarthy says Hurricane Helene could lose Trump the 2024 election, asks why no one is doing anything to protect western NC votes. Helene will also allow many voters to circumvent the state’s photo ID requirements. North Carolina law allows voters to fill out a provisional ballot if they are unable to provide an ID due to a “natural disaster” that occurred within 100 days of election day, provided they fill out an affidavit beforehand. Anyone else forecasting a bunch of newcomers flooding in before election day? I'm also forecasting that in-person voting in the affected area will range from a PITA to impossible. Because that's how most Repubs prefer to vote. https://dailycaller.com/2024/10/07/north-carolina-alters-election-rules-after-helene/

If you mean by not attacking Ukraine on Trump's watch, I can live with that. I like peace.

I suspect the story would have a different ending if it was foreigners collecting the fish. And it wouldn't be a happy one. I'm always amused when foreign tourists are banged up just for "disturbing" the same species you'll find for sale in just about any Thai seafood market. Of course, I doubt it's amusing for the divers on holiday, who get fined.

They'd say about the same thing as they did in 1928. And for hundreds of years before that. "That's Florida weather, fer ya."

Rummy explained it. Sleight of hand... To divert attention from $4 Trillion missing Pentagon dollars.

Looking at the WaPo data, and understanding the woefully compacted timescale reminds me of a ScAm article I read on a flight to China in the early 2000's. Their research at the time indicated that the earth was headed into another ice age before agriculture turned that around 2500 years ago. Seems like global warming kept us out of an ice age. Looking at the WaPo graph, it's obvious that climate has changed many times before industrialization. And blaming it on CO2 from industry is just a temporal correlation. The very CO2 that makes modern life possible. Otherwise, billions of us would be freezing in the dark. BTW, ScAm is my new name for Scientific American, since they (for the first time in their 175 year history) came out and endorsed a candidate. That was basement candidate Biden. So much for their scientific powers of deduction, and their credibility.

Hardly rank as conspiracy theories though, do they? There ya go, changing the goalposts again. First you claim there's not many. Then it's well, maybe there's a lot, but they're not serious. Next it'll be, okay they're serious, but they didn't change anything...

OTOH, I love the lefty sheep, believing what they're told.

You mean like Biden's senile, the laptop is Hunter's and there are vaccine side effects? I could rattle off a hundred more, just from the past few years. But you'd have to hold your nose and click on some non-approved sources to get wind of them.

Looks to me like escapees from the Blue states are the ones that will fund Florida rebuilding, by moving to Florida to to escape Blue policies. https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2024/bay-area-migration-trends-map/ Most of Florida is booming, save for that Dem controlled area around the foreskin.

Are you claiming that strawberries and apples are a bad thing? Meanwhile WaPo said the quiet part out loud: Climate change has been going on for billions of years, long before industry. So I hope you don't mind if I object to fraudsters asking for my money to fix the billion year old process.

Did you miss the part where Adams is demanding $12,000,000,000 of FEDERAL money to help NYC? That's $36,000 a head, each year, for the 110,000 newcomers in NYC.

The guv'ners sitting in their command posts may be happy. Folks on the ground are pissed.

Is that the same Joe Biden who claimed that we've already sent everything we have into Helene recovery? That we have no more to send? That's not going to be a good look when Florida gets hammered in 2 days. Maybe that's the October surprise everyone's talking about.

Sorry if this has been covered, but why would anyone want a re-entry stamp on a visa exempt? Even if you could get a re-entry permit, wouldn't it expire when your VE entry stamp expires? Just enter again on a visa exempt. Get a fresh stamp... My own experience... I've recently flown into BKK 17 or 18 months in a row (I lost count), each one on a visa exempt. Last one was September. Next one is in about 2 weeks. I stay for about a week each entry. (no extensions for a week's stay, obviously) So far, so good. I'll post back if I ever do have an issue with my entry. (US passport, worked in Thailand pre-Covid, nothing but VE's since Covid) Just to be clear, I only stay a few days each visit. My experience has nothing to do with extended stays. YMMV

Meanwhile Mayor Adams of NYC is asking for $12,000 million of our tax dollars to care for illegal immigrants for 3 years. What's 12,000 divided by 137?

That's why it's good to have some kind of relationship with the local well drillers (and the gub'ment groundwater people). They can tell you if the local water table has moved up or down, and how it's trending long term. That's helpful long after they've drilled the well using their expertise to know how deep they need to drill to get to a good water zone, and where to set the pump in anticipation of next year's (or next decade's) dry season. There are tons of good interweb sources explaining all those parameters, in whatever language you're comfortable with. But local knowledge is still required.

Carter and Clinton prove that whopper is absolutely false. Carter had character in spades, and his presidency was a disaster. Clinton's presidency was successful, in between not having sexual relations with that woman. As for the rest of your diatribe, go line by line and ask yourself which lines Biden accomplished. Start with "reducing prescription prices" Of the thousands of drugs out there, Biden claims to have negotiated discounts on 10 of them, starting in a couple of years...
