I still don't understand why we needed to do this at all because we were assured that a big beautiful wall would stop all drug trafficking.

For most of the world, the US is now a malign actor While many may be tempted to cut the U.S. off as an ally and partner, I hope our friends don’t give up on us so easily.

I thought this was a really good OpEd. Sort of an open letter to people around the world shocked and dismayed by US foreign policy under Trump, written by a wise, knowledgeable and insightful American. www.politico.eu/article/us-p...

KERR COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) – Social media posts piece together a timeline of apparent delays in public notification by government officials in Kerr County, as devastating flood waters rose on the Guadalupe River early Friday morning. 13+ fatalities in Kerr County, 20+ children missing from camp after flooding While the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning at 1:14 a.m. for portions of that area, it would be hours before the city and county’s Facebook pages posted their initial urgent directions for residents from local authorities. The first came from the Kerrville Police Department, reposting an NWS alert at 5:16 a.m., adding: “Anyone near the Guadalupe River needs to move to higher ground now. Local streets are flooded in town and low water crossings are impassable. Do not drive into water.” At 5:31 a.m., Kerr County posted: “Be safe and move to higher ground. Do not drive through water. Turn Around – Don’t Drown!”

Early reports indicate the beleaguered NWS did its job. It was Texas officials who seem to have failed to properly warn the public. There is a 4+ hour gap between the NWS alert & the first Texas govt alert. Read this from local TV news outlet KXAN:

Literally thousands of dollars being lit on fire around them and my knuckleheads decide to pull out their lightsabers.

For the record, my neighbors spend the big bucks. We spent tens of dollars. Most of which was leftover from last year because it rained.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Kansas man who was falsely accused of being a shooter after Chiefs’ 2024 Super Bowl win has died A Kansas man who was falsely accused of being among the shooters who opened fire at a rally celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory last year has died.

Goddammit.

One of the people that falsely accused him of this is now the Missouri Secretary of State.

The other two, Rick Brattin and Nick Schroer are the reason why women chose the bear.

They'll never stop being the villains.
