  1. So interesting that red states are the most adamant with ignoring climate change yet the rest of us are expected to pay to rebuild their homes and businesses. Ultimately, Americans that can turn climate change around and yet choose not to receive exactly what they deserve.

  2. Will events change attitudes regarding climate change and global warming?

    Even if not, then does this change the need to create much more robust flood mitigation systems? A broad and comprehensive flood mitigation system with two days flood water retention ponds and lakes to collect and slowly, slowly release the billions of cubic feet of water out over weeks instead of hours?

    How about reexamination of human development into forests and loss of watershed capacity?

  3. That current trough of low pressure systems over the SW Caribbean Sea is showing some organization and potential to develop into a Tropical Depression. Movement northward into the Gulf of Mexico would aid in its development.

    Sort of a repeat of Helene's early formation. Has the Gulf cooled down? Have the steering winds changed? What is needed is some Canadian cold air and maybe a lot less CO2 production over the next 50-80 years.

  4. I wonder how many of the people they are realize that the 2025 plan the Republicans have for us would dismantle FEMA… catastrophic occurrences like this would not receive any federal help. All the more reason to vote for someone who’s going to continue giving federal aid.

  5. The recent flooding in Appalachia is a devastating reminder of how neglected our nation's infrastructure has become. While American communities suffer from preventable disasters, hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars are being wasted on uncontrolled immigration and foreign interventions in places like Ukraine, Israel, and other regions. This isn’t just a partisan issue—it’s about priorities. The establishment continues to funnel money abroad and into managing the consequences of poorly controlled borders, while ignoring the critical needs of American citizens.

    Rather than preparing for the real and inevitable effects of climate change by investing in infrastructure to protect our communities—like upgrading dams, levees, and flood control systems—the establishment would rather drain your pockets chasing green energy boondoggles that benefit their cronies. For a fraction of what’s been spent on these efforts, we could have repaired and reinforced our dams and other vital infrastructure, preventing the kinds of disasters that cost American lives and livelihoods.

    We need leaders who will put America first by focusing on rebuilding our roads, bridges, dams, and communities instead of putting foreign interests, uncontrolled immigration, and costly green energy schemes ahead of the real needs of our people. It’s time for all of us, no matter our political affiliation, to unite and demand a government that prioritizes the safety and well-being of American citizens.

    Vote for leaders who will challenge the establishment, invest in critical infrastructure, secure our borders, and protect our communities. Enough of putting America last. It’s time to put Americans first.

  6. US Hurricane victims get 750 each. What else do they want? We alrady gave THIS YEAR:

    – $9,000 per illegal immigrant that has entered the U.S.
    – $24,400,000,000 to Ukraine.
    – $11,300,000,000 to Israel.
    – $1,950,000,000 to Ethiopia.
    – $1,600,000,000 to Jordan.
    – $1,400,000,000 to Egypt.
    – $1,100,000,000 to Afghanistan.
    – $1,100,000,000 to Somalia.
    – $1,000,000,000 to Yemen.
    – $987,000,000 to Congo.
    – $896,000,000 to Syria.

    We can't help the entire world and still help ourselves. DUH!

    Don't worry hurricane victims, I'm sure you will make it, but there is just not enough US tax dollars to give you any more.

    BTW, we are saving plenty back to give more to Ukrane.

    Thanks,
