An MSNBC reporter interviewed a N.C. beach resident who planned to ignore evacuation orders and stay…with her three children (at least there was a photo of three). She said “there was safety in numbers.”
Comment and tell me how this is not child endangerment. What do you think should be done. Apparently th
is is not an unusual situation. I don’t want to pull a Donald Trump, but I hope we don’t read they drowned.
He has stripped Ameica’s protection agencies of $200 million. I was suspicious earlier when he wanted to quit security checks at small airports, but now “FEAR” makes more sense.
Agencies weakened, in addition to FEMA, include the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers, the Coast Guard, the Transportation Security Administration, the cybersecurity office, and Customs and Border Protection.
A lightning bolt would have struck Trump today when he said FEMA’s response to Puerto Rico was “one of the best, ever.” I seriously wonder if he has ever had an MRI of the brain.
It would be sad if he has a brain tumor, but an explanation for his sitting there and bragging on our response. (Remember him throwing paper towels at the victims?)
Many are saying the N.Y. Times op ed anonymous author should stand up like a man, resign, and tell all. That sounds moral, upstanding, even patriotic. But can we not put ourselves in his place without preaching about him?
Perhaps others will read this, by me.

I apologize. I failed to include one truth from my book Fallout: A Survivor Talks to Incest Offenders and Others. I was afraid one piece of truth I came across might be destructive to victims of severe sexual abuse in childhood, and I didn’t want to depress them even further. I have since realized that it may be important for those survivors to know and understand the full effects, which are reflected in the following:
“Child Sex Abuse Leaves Mark on the Brain,” by B. Bower, Science News of the Week, Vol. 147 June 3, 1995. “Two new brain-imaging studies, conducted independently, indicate that severe, repeated sexual abuse in childhood underlies damage to a brain structure that helps to orchestrate memory. This cerebral injury may predispose people to experience an altered state of consciousness known as dissociation and to develop symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)”….They had remarkably smaller…

WHO’S LEFT?
If you can’t make jokes about crazy folks,
who can you joke about?
Crazy actions, crazy sayings, they’re ok I guess.
But not queers or retarded dears nor
blacks, browns, reds or yellows–
Hare-lipped. cross-eyed, club-footed
Hare Krishnas, holy rollers, jews and muslims,
they’re all off-limits, specially red necks and old biddies
and bastards, the lame and in-laws
and while poor white trash do cause me pause,
bleached blondes, fat folks, hearing impaired,
gods without humor and scary presidents do not.
But better keep me away from would-be poets!
AND THE ELDERLY!
Earth-shaking.
ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND
I have a little snowman
Who isn’t made of snow.
I met a man who knew him
Before we two met, and so
I wasn’t surprised to find
He was the other kind.
When ‘ere the sun is out
His little arms they wave
And I guess this little habit
Will follow him to the grave.
Sometimes I want to stop him,
Offer him some tea,
See his black eyes twinkle
Looking back at me.
He follows his blueprint to a T
And just does what he aught
Alas I am the other kind
who can’t do right for naught.
