I mean, on the one hand, the Media is showing us scenes of utter devastation in places like Asheville (but the reporters and camera crews don’t seem to go much beyond there, not out into the real hard-hit towns)…

But then they show us the places where volunteers are handing out food to people, people supposedly hard-hit by the storm….Yet those people are in their cars (that appear undamaged) and are well dressed and clean looking…..

I am confused. Are they really in need? Or are they just taking advantage of the freebies?

I have no doubt that there ARE people in need. I just don’t think those folks waiting in line in their cars for a hour (for someone else to load their trunk) are in that group of needy…..And I doubt that those people in need are in that Lowes parking lot (again, in Asheville)….(notice how the camera is placed to show the Logo??) are needy either.

ETA: And if you got time to spend an hour in line (or more) one would think you’d be cleaning up the damage…

Not even trying to hide it…..

“That pesky 1st Amendment makes it really hard to govern ’cause all those folks who might be telling the truth, rather than the government line of bullshit, make it difficult”

Who decides what is “disinformation”? We know that it cannot be the governments, after all, for the past 4+ years we have SEEN how they lied to us. It cannot be the Media, they too have colluded to lie to us.

But all that Disinformation makes it hard to “Build Consensus” according to John Kerry

It must be disheartening when the sheep refuse to be led, and turn out to be goats instead.

John Kerry and his lik should be taken out back and beaten until they understand.

That Dock Workers strike? Not over…Even the Media is just saying “Suspended”

Yeah, it really isn’t over, it is just held in abeyance until mid-January. Notice how carefully the media is wording this. They know the truth.

Can’t have that interrupt the elections, can we?

It will likely come back in January, as the pay raise was not the only issue, but also staffing levels and use of automation. Especially if Trump should beat the Margin of Cheat.

I wonder what pressure the DNC brought on the Union to find a way to temporarily stop the strike?

(personally, I think it would have been a good thing for the Strike to continue….let people see how much the US imports and especially how many of Santa’s elves have slanty eyes. )

Over Asheville NC

No non-cleared/unauthorized flights in a 30 mile radius of the airport from basically dawn to dusk *by NOTA,M instead of TFR).

I checked with Flight Service to see if it was true or not.

There was, apparently, a broader area  Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) but that was cancelled

There are no other restriction elsewhere in the areas affected by Helene as per Flight Service

Turns out, they spent a shitload of FEMA money on illegal aliens last year and this year. 

I fully expect to find that they also spent it in Ukraine as well, if someone bothers to look….

Ukraine and illegals first, US citizens are at the bottom of the list.

Also overheard:

Boy: “Dad, what’s the best way to calm my wife down when she is angry?”

“Chloroform, son, just a bit of chloroform”

They must really be afraid that Donald Trump is gonna win.

Now there are new “facts” being placed in evidence in the Jan 6th case against Trump.

They just won’t quit, will they?

I mean, at some point, there comes a case for a blanket party with axe handles and such, IYKWIM.

Can’t blame poverty or class or anything else. Stabber’s parent were pretty well off, and she enjoyed european vacations and other luxuries….

Just random black on white violent crime, I guess.

19 year old stabs classmate for no apparent reason. 

“Middle class pays more taxes that Billionaires do”

What a lie.

Percentage wise, this is likely true.

However:

In terms of dollars, Billionaires pay an order (or more) of magnitude more in taxes . The top 50% pay 80% or so of the tax dollars paid….the top 1% pays more than 25% of the total tax dollars that the Federal Government takes in.

Don’t believe me….look it up for yourself.

(Or start here)

How much is a “Fair Share”? Does a multi millionaire (of even higher) use more government than a poor person living in a trailer park?

The ads (again, for how many election cycles have they successfully sold the lie to some people?) claim that the Democrats are the champion of the working people…

“Trump wants to cut taxes just for Billionaires, Kamala will cut taxes for working people” Yet in all of my lifetime, I don’t think they have ever done that. Raised taxes? Yep. Cut them? Nope.

I have no affiliation with this company, except that I own their product.

Highly recommended, especially in today’s Arab/Israeli environment. You might need one sooner rather than later.

If you fail to prepare, then you are preparing to fail
