interesting things about the Helene disaster:

This was not “Unprecedented”. It wasn’t new. It wasn’t the first time.

 

Ferinstance:

The floods caused by hurricanes in 1940 and 1916 were WORSE.  Both times, oddly enough, also happened during “Hurricane Season”.

Even more strangely, the flooding of 2021 happened in hurricane season also….and while there was less rain, it affected more people that the two above incidents….BECAUSE THERE WERE MORE PEOPLE LIVING IN LOW LYING AREAS.

Pretty much anything that was damaged or flooded in 2024 in eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina had been flooded or damaged in the previous floods. No new places were flooded. Same roads washed out in the same places, same bridges got washed away, the same houses in the same places got flooded …and new houses in areas that had been flooded before also got flooded.

None of this was “Unprecedented”

‘Twasn’t “Climate Change”, or “Glowbal Warming”, or anything else but ….Weather.

Since there was no significant climate Change before 1980 or so, these previous incidents couldn’t have been caused by man….

So none of this was unprecedented….People just forgot that it had happened, and failed to build or plan properly for it happening again.

Make no mistake, this was a tragedy for many people, people died in the floods, and many lost their homes.

But it wasn’t the first time, and it won’t be the last one, either.

Question for the DEI folks

Would you like the surgeon that puts you back together after a car accident to be selected because they were the best there is or because they had the correct color of  skin and the correct pronouns?

Would you prefer that the standards for your doctor passing medical school were lowered because she was a woman or because she was black?

 

Asking for a friend and all that.

 

RFK? Really?

I mean, the dude is a nutjob.

His views on all vaccines and especially fluoridation are whack. Not based on anything but fear and what other (untrained, unqualified, uneducated in the field) people have told him. He doesn’t know enough about any of the subjects or any of the science (he likely can’t even understand the science) to be able to make a rational decision about any of this. He’s as illogical and emotional about this sort of stuff, like the Chemtrails people and the folks that are convinced that Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is put into shampoo and toothpaste as part of a a conspiracy to poison people..

In short, he is a whackjob in his beliefs. Unfounded in science. Only fear. Having him in charge of HHS is like an inner city liberal woman being in charge of rural firearms regulations…Or putting a White Supremacist in charge of black inner city children’s after school policies. .

Only difference is that the inner city liberal woman would likely be more rational.

Y’know the really sad part

about all those Leftist women who are dying their hair, shaving their heads, refusing to have sex with their boyfriends and otherwise protesting (as a group) the election of Donald Trump?

The worst thing is that they have been led to believe by their sisters that doing all of those things to themselves somehow makes a difference…that that aberrant, childish, flat out stupid behavior somehow can change things. I understand that it is somehow making them feel more a part of the tribe of women or something, but they simply are playing childish girl games, they aren’t fixing anything…..But they somehow believe that they are.

Is there any way they can be forced to see the light? I mean, they are harming no one but themselves, and this is a country where they have the freedom to be as stupid as they wish as long as no one else is harmed, but still…

I guess they simply never grew up, That behavior is acceptable in a 12 year old, but they are (physically) adults.

 

A question:

How many “celebrities” who promised to leave if Trump have actually let the United states?

Odd, that, innit?

And, yet for some reason, the Dems think that their opinion matters.

 

Trump or not, this is still the best country to live in, and they damned well know it.

All the rest is just posturing for their friends and associates.

Huh, The FBI actually did their job

and they charged someone who did the politically wanted (at the tine) thing .

Official who leaked Israeli war plans is charged…Espionage

The official, Asif W. Rahman, was indicted last week in federal court in Virginia on two counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information under the Espionage Act. He was arrested by the F.B.I. on Tuesday in Cambodia and was set to appear in federal court in Guam on Thursday.

I would never have thought that they FBI would have done their job. Especially since Biden (or whoever was running things at the time) most clearly wanted the Iranians to know what Israel was doing….I guess he had another muslim do the dirty work.

Maybe it is because Trump is now gonna be President and they gotta behave? Show that they can be team players and all that? Would they have charged him at all if Kamala had won? If the Cheat Machine had decided to act and gain her the votes she needed?

I wonder how they caught him?
