Surprised at no Hurricane Beryl thread all this time. This piece is right on the money (except that Cat 1 is a small storm, not major). I'm in this worthless outfit's service area and was out of power for 62 hours -- and I'm one of the lucky ones. A neighbor not given to exaggeration says that the top 20 executives of CenterPointle$$ need to be fired, amidst other overhauls. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why is the Power Still Out in Houston? Yes, a major hurricane blew through Texas. We all understand that. But it's been a week and the power is still out in significant portions of the Houston area. What is taking so long? Governor Greg Abbott has returned from his diplomatic visit to Asia and his patience is clearly wearing thin. This has brought renewed attention to CenterPoint Energy, the company responsible for managing and maintaining the power grid in the region. Abbott is not only demanding that they get the power back online, but they quickly prepare and submit plans that will allow them to do better in the future. If they fail to comply, he is threatening to impose his own requirements on the company via executive action. You can't really blame him. This situation is long past the point of being ridiculous and is turning significantly dangerous. [...] https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2024/07/15/why-is-the-power-still-out-in-houston-n3791822

Exclusive: County Officer Warned of Seeing Man With Rangefinder Before Trump Was Shot A Beaver County police officer warned a command center of seeing a man with a rangefinder before former president Donald Trump was shot on Saturday. The officer had also warned the man was scoping out the roof of the building he was stationed in as a counter-sniper, and that the man returned with a backpack before ultimately scaling the building. Despite all of those warnings, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park was able to continue in his plan to become Trump's would-be assassin.

Justified indictment of the media. Look at some of those headlines! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Revulsion Derby: Media Coverage Of Trump Attack Following the shocking assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump on Saturday, the biggest story aside from the incident itself has been the corporate media's appallingly unprofessional reaction to it – ranging from downplaying the attack that left one innocent bystander dead and two more seriously injured to outright blaming Trump for the attack.

In a lot of ways, so was I. However, if the VP role is indeed "worth less than a bucket of warm spit," her capabilities could be used elsewhere to far greater effect -- e.g., SecDef, Chairwoman of the Joint Chiefs, or just about anything else, in fact. I think that she'll make an excellent President someday.

Not to have given it to him from the start was not only stupid but cruel, given his family history. His own father was murdered, for God's sake.

The above was split from a thread in another forum.

Trump is taking somewhat of a chance in choosing JDV, because election of a Republican to his Senate seat is not at all guaranteed.

Thread is moved to the Embassy/Consulate forum -- topic involves that phase.

Bingo. This seems "inconvenient" in terms of, e.g., enforcing the southern border, but we can all shudder to think how 0bummer would have used/abused this... Bingo. As explained plainly and often on conservative radio and in conservative print. The SCOTUS ruling exempts 0bummer for vaporizing that Afghan family, for one thing.

Thanks for posting it in this thread, Bill! Trump is thinking about the future of the Party. I can't wait for the VP debate between JDV and Kama-Lama-Ding-Dong.

Eminently reasonable-sounding, but I never underestimate the vitriol of radical leftists who are in power.

Like most other "alleged" attributions. If true, he might simply have been thinking out loud about a variety of options.

Presented because it's interesting and potentially helpful. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once you hit this credit score, experts say you're 'good' — here's how to get there These days, it's common for lenders, cell phone companies, landlords and even utility providers to check your credit before deciding if they want to do business with you. The big question, though, is what exactly you must do to impress those companies and make them comfortable taking you on as a customer. Most credit scoring systems run on a scale of 300 to 850, but do you really need a perfect score to get the best rates?

Justice Thomas, and the others who concurred in the relevant recent opinion, gave Judge Cannon the blueprint and the basis for this decision. Frankly, the dismissal couldn't have come at a better time, given the sympathy surrounding the assassination attempt. The leftists and media (redundant) will have a hard time fighting this one. That creep Merchan will find it massively daunting to impose even house arrest, I'm confident.
