Not sure I’d have the balls to drive it

I was out getting supplies on the way to help a friend, and stopped at the nearest home improvement store to get what I needed.

Now, I generally park pretty far away form the entrance so I get a few extra steps….cause a bit less of me (fat-wise, anyway) is a good thing, right?

 

What did I spy parked in the next row over?

The details were pretty nicely done.

Plus the sticker on the back:

The Biden administration’s Katrina Moment:

But will the biased press ask why FEMA isn’t there fixing everyone’s issues?

Having pointed that out, I gotta say that many folks chose to have their own issues:

I mean, if you were unaware that there was gonna be a hurricane hitting Florida’s gulf coast and then moving more or less directly north…..with pretty much the predicted path forecast a week ago…with incredibly heavy rain, then you are either hiding under a rock (now flooded) or just plain not paying attention…or stupid. I knew a week ago that Hurricane Helene ‘s remnants would hit Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina. likely Virginia and maybe Kentucky and Tennessee. And that was just from watching the nightly news in my area. I don’t live in any of those areas. I realize that the devastation is incredible in some areas, and I feel sorry for those folks who lost homes to damage, or flooding. But if you didn’t fill your gas tank, didn’t stock up on food, and didn’t plan for extended power outages, then you kinda deserve the misery, assuming your house is undamaged.

3 days in, and people are beginning to starve and run out of water. No power, and, apparently “roving gangs” are stealing generators (hint: Tie those suckers down with a cable or chain…..and if you don’t have the means to defend it or your other supplies, you really don’t own it)…

But if your home is intact, and if you didn’t prepare, and are starving or dehydrating after only three days, I find it somewhat difficult to feel sorry for you. I mean, gas cans are relatively cheap, you can use the gas in your car later if you don’t need it for storm outages…fill those gas cans a day or two before the storm hits, realize that canned food stores for a long time, etc. A gallon of water per person per day (prepare for a week) isn’t that hard to store and is relatively cheap. A tiny bit of preparation makes for a much less taxing existence until you get your power back. Propane stoves are inexpensive, and likely most people have a propane grill, so cooking isn’t that hard…I mean you can boil water for food and for drinking if you need to….

You can’t, perhaps, prepare for damage to your home from winds or floods, but you can prepare for a loss of power and the resultant issues. Food/water/medicines/ etc shouldn’t be a problem after 3 days. Same for gasoline.

But back in the days of Katrina, when thousands of people failed to prepare in New Orleans, the press was screaming that President Bush had not prepared properly and that FEMA had somehow failed the black people…. When it was their local (Democrat run) governments that had failed them.

“Where is FEMA” isn’t the question people should be asking 3 days in…But rather “Where is the State?” and Where is my local government?”

Will the press castigate Biden and Harris this time for the same thing they did Bush? …that FEMA isn’t there already handing out food and water and ice? ? Or will they choose not to mention that?

It is said

That Mayor Adams is getting the punishment he is, that the DOJ is after him, only because he has loudly criticized the Harris-Biden immigration policies due to the damage they have done to his city and the budget.

 

Apparently, he was told to fall in line and shut up.

He did not do so…. and now, oddly enough, he is under investigation.

Innit a strange coincidence?

 

You gotta be amused

when democrat supporters point to the record Dow figures (or pretty much any stock market) and claim that that is a Good Thing and it is all because of the great job the Biden/Harris team did with the economy and forget that it is all due to inflation (due to incredibly high deficit spending), not economic growth. (1/3 of all deficit dollars have been crated in the past 3 years)

 

Either they are stupid, or they are lying.

 

Interesting facts:

The Canary Islands have nearly no canaries on the islands, they are nearly extinct.  All the wild canaries are gone….The only canaries on the Canary Islands, with few exceptions, are domesticated and in captivity.

 

 

Apparently, the the same is true of the Virgin Islands:

 

 

 

 

 

No wild canaries there either.

questions at the Dr office

So the new chick at the doctors office asks: (and by new, I mean so new she squeeks…fresh out of whatever training/college she attended and fully indoctrinated)

“Do you have guns in your home?”
(First time I have been asked this there….the Doctor knows I do ’cause I shoot with his son once in a while)….apparently they are taught to ask this in school….My doctor really doesn’t care

“Christ honey, I have guns here IN YOUR OFFICE”

Wigged her shit ….Right. The. Fuck. Out.

Even the Doctor laughed at that one…..Part of the reason he’s my doctor.
