Summer here, the one who debunks atheism. Isn’t it funny how atheists always say they prefer a “no-nonsense, evidence-based approach” to understanding the world, but when I bring up logical arguments for theism, they suddenly clam up?

If freedom of speech is absolute, how come it's not applied for private spaces and for the Internet?

I know it doesn’t seem like a big distance but when you see power truck convoys a mile or so long, followed with the necessary support equipment and personnel, you realize this is something heavily planned.

Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee

Representative Gus Bilirakis of Florida

Why do siblings (or other close relatives) stop visiting each other as they grow older? Why does this happen with so many people nowadays?

Part of the problem you point out to the agitator is the recent battle in Congress that threatened to derail the necessary $20 billion FEMA funding. This funding should’ve been resolved months ago in preparation of the new fiscal year. But rather than do that, these politicians (if I could make my written words to drip with more sarcasm I would do it) decided that because FEMA would be wiped out under Project 2025. While the bill eventually passed, the following people voted against the bill:

Representative Nathaniel Moran of Texas

Representative Eli Crane of Arizona

You now need to figure out how you are going to turn them around, ship them a couple hundred miles and hope that you can find and secure the necessary staging grounds. The contacts they used to have built up over 4, 5, 6, 10 storm seasons are no longer useful so they need to find new ones.

Representative John Joyce of Pennsylvania

Representative Roger Williams of Texas

Representative Kat Cammack of Florida

If one them is yours, let them know of your outrage and then, on your ballot, send these unprincipled MAGAts back to their mommy’s basement.

While we really can’t do anything to stop or redirect storms (despite what Marjorie Taylor Greene spews), we can hold accountable the members of Congress who put their agenda ahead of the physical safety of their fellow Americans.

Representative Lance Gooden of Texas

I am sure that someone, who has a political axe to grind, would say “Why didn’t they have extingency plans??? See! See! See! They and their leaders are incompetent and vote for the other guy!!!”.

to the new staging areas (red area).

Representative Bill Posey of Florida

Representative Andy Biggs of Arizona

SO you are now the Disaster God. You know a storm is coming so you activate your assets and move them to their staging areas. You know the storm might change a bit but not as big a shift that has happened.

If you look back in history, you will see that storms usually hit in the same general area and follow the same general path. So the plans to respond, assemble, stage and deploy were all built around history.

Representative Mike Ezell of Mississippi

I lived in NC for over 25 years. In all my time there, I saw more than my share of storms. The vast majority of them came up from the south and either skirted along the coast or bent inland and then run into the northern states. By the time they got to central NC, the storms were mostly petered out or, the swung back out to sea. In the past, Helene would have tracked like the black arrow I have crudely drew

Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona

Representative Keith Self of Texas

Representative Russ Fulcher of Idaho

Representative Harriet Hageman of Wyoming

Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee

Representative Laurel Lee of Florida

Senator Mike Braun of Indiana

Representative Debbie Lesko of Arizona

Representative Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey

Senator Deb Fischer of Nebraska

Because of this, state and federal authorities had to figure out how to move the assets from their “normal” staging areas (blue area)

Representative Mary Miller of Illinois

They are listed above.

Representative Rudy Yakym of Indiana

The rest of the landscape in not exactly conducive to move a lot of heavy traffic.

Representative Randy Feenstra of Iowa

Now, with Helene cut into a new area and at the same time severed the 2 major highway (Yellow Circle) capable of handling all the trucks and traffic:

Representative Darin LaHood of Illinois

House members

Representative Mike Waltz of Florida

Senator Pete Ricketts of Nebraska

Representative Tony Gonzales of Texas

Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky

Representative Matt Rosendale of Montana

Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma

Senator Ted Budd of North Carolina

Representative Michelle Fischbach of Minnesota

Senator Mike Crapo of Idaho

If you see your representative or Senator on this list and you are subject to Helene or Milton, know that they don’t give a crap about you. They care more about their power and subservience to their Most Exalted Grand PooBah and identifying and destroying people and things that are “woke” than they are to their fellow Americans that have been laid low by a storm that had never happened before. That $20 billion could have been put to use in projecting and gaming the response and, among the weather games would be what to do if another devastating storm follows right on its tails.

Representative Tom McClintock of California
