FEMA is turfing 3500 families out of hotels as we speak, as a state-wide winter storm is bearing down on us in NC. Meanwhile Biden has already offered (or sent?!) money to LA. Forgive me if my sympathy is limited at the moment. I lived in Orange County for 4 long years after college and even in the '80s hated it. I don't wish this devastation on anyone, but voting has consequences.

Two independent companies have stepped up and paid for 3 weeks in hotels. And by the way , Biden just sent $500 MILLION more to Ukraine. Thank God for all the wonderful people who have shown up with donated RVs, Tiny houses, campers, heaters, basic survival supplies. Proud to live here.
And we still have over 420 people missing since Helene. Efforts are being made to locate and identify every one of them. It may be years, but every family needs to know. Proud to be in NC
Money means nothing to the 3rd Obama administration. If any is left over after the California millionaires get government assistance, the Republicans in North Carolina will still be suffering.
I'm only hoping the extreme heat of the LA fires weakens the connection of California to the rest of the USA and that worthless desert floats out to sea and sinks.
There is no question: Obama has been the president for the past four years. The old dimwit who occasionally occupies the White House is a gangster, a fool, and a traitor.
E. Just by chance an acquaintance took a side trip to Reno: she reports Reno appears down at the mouth with rows of empty storefronts, closed businesses, and plenty of homeless people in the streets.
Good cops know when not to care? Like the one who walked past a woman on fire in NY subway system without trying to do anything. Anyone riding that can't be important.
You seem familiar with Reno...were you there during the golden days of the70' and 80's before Indian Casinos and the computers changed it for the worse? Much worse.
Computers released the casinos from relying on offering benefits to get people in the door. 99cent breakfasts, $4.95 one pound new york steak dinners...prime rib anywhere for $6.00...pouring 99 cent well drinks from a Tanqueray bottle opened in front of you.
Now facial recognition and player cards weed out the dead-beats.
Analog glory succumbs to digital slavery. That is really unfortunate. It's harder and harder to find little bits of joy in this world. Every once in a while, I have a glorious memory like that and my kids ask me why I'm staring off into the distance.
I told my son once that he'll never know the glories of tearing through dirt roads at 3am blind drunk screaming Waylon Jennings at high volume. The roads are paved and the cops would sooner shoot you than leave you alone.

We sent modest checks...to Greg Biffle (for chopper fuel) and Shower Up.
We were floored by the handwritten Thank You from the Biffles.
Maybe the displaced residents of LA and Pacific Palisades and Malibu will get $800/household, adjusted for inflation, if they qualify.
Actually I believe the sum sent to Ukraine this week is closer to $1billion.

I love that, the 3rd Obama administration.

BRH,
You could have a pretty good weekend in Reno with a Billion dollars....
E. Just by chance an acquaintance took a side trip to Reno: she reports Reno appears down at the mouth with rows of empty storefronts, closed businesses, and plenty of homeless people in the streets.
BRH,
Yeah, put a fork in it.
Well done, and done well....
There's nowhere like Renowhere
The bars don't close, The cops don't care

John Rocker was perceptive enough to recognize that 25 years ago...

Sadly, no. I was there in the late 90's and early 2000's and haven't been back since 2005 or so.
