    To an extent, I do see your point. However, people who just constantly lie haven't earned that respect.

    They're just parasites who take what is offered among the graces of society, and then steal what is not. Without meeting their end of our social compact; behaving with at least an amount of honesty and integrity.

    So yeah, I have no interest in conversing with liars. And off you go.....

    Negative. You may not like my opinions at all, but I don't post outright lies.

    You should give it a try.

    North Carolina mayor: My daughter was denied $750 FEMA relief (nypost.com)


    “My daughter, whose house got completely wiped out, she has no flood insurance. She meets with a FEMA person, applies for everything…she doesn’t get the $750 that Kamala says she is supposed to get,” Roberts lamented.

    “[She] gets approved for $300 for personal items. What’s that supposed to do?” he continued.

    “That’s literally all she got. Her entire first floor is wiped out, we hauled everything off, it’s gone…that won’t even cover what’s in her refrigerator.”

    Desperate North Carolina residents, however, have repeatedly called out FEMA for seemingly abandoning them in the aftermath of the Helene, which laid waste to swaths of the western part of the state.

    Things I learned waiting at the doc’s office today

    Helene and Milton were steered using microwave transmission energy. The info is downloadable for anyone to analyze.
    Haitians getting all the money
    FEMA and AG stealing crops for their personal use
    Soros and Schwab have put together global operations to eradicate half of the world’s population using the above illustrated tactics.
    Russia and China are in the same battle with us against Soros and Schwab.
    DeSantis is a true leader upholding the constitution for the common man.

    That is a lot to absorb at 0700. I might have mentioned that the amount of click bait out there for morons is overwhelming for some. Might need a new doc.

    And even the New York Post admits to the actual intent of those programs, which is not to replace what you lost but rather to handle daily expenses in the short-term. There is a later process for the replacement of at least some of what you lost (although her lack of flood insurance is going to somewhat limit that). It sounds like she was approved for $300 for the daily expenses by FEMA.

    BTW, it is always fun to see the people calling for small government complain that government is too small.

    I assume that the post is satirical although based on your posting history there is the possibility that you are serious.

    If they said this part Cypress Hill style, as in "Cops....try to snatch my crops!".....and moved themselves appropriately while doing so....

    ...then sorry, I would have to support that small element of their conspiracy theorizing.

    It is fascinating.

    This is why the “immigrants are getting aid!” or the “black welfare queen!” schticks works so well on these people. They really do think they are competing with immigrants for govt handouts that they are entitled to.

    As far as this mayors daughter, it references her “downstairs” being flooded. So presumably the upstairs of her home is habitable. Pretty sure that’s why she wouldn’t qualify for that assistance if she’s still able to sleep in her own home. Sounds like this mayor thinks FEMA is free “make whole” insurance or something. I do agree even for those that do qualify or had their homes made uninhabitable, $750 is pretty sad just because in many areas that’s just 2 or 3 nights in a hotel at best. Should probably be more like $1500. But I tend to think the govts job is to provide temporary shelters in impacted areas, not to just hand out boatloads of cash.

    What a truly despicable person he is.

    Meanwhile, the world just keeps getting weirder. No, I guess there's always been people like this. We're just more award of them.

    Lara and Eric Trump-backed “prophet” claims God told her the hurricanes were “man-made” and “they” will also “set off” an earthquake
