The hurricane victims will be supporting Hannity in the future. Why? One of his sponsors, MyPillow, is donating 10.000 pillows. So even if these poor souls are sleeping on the floor, their head will be comfy. They will remember.
No--they will not become Fox loyalists. They will become socialists.
Everyone’s a Socialist After a Natural Disaster
Ted Cruz’s hypocrisy won’t stop government from helping in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, but Texas will be needing help for a long time.
Superdome was a football stadium with seating for almost 77,000 plus a football field for setting up cots, then you need a lot of bathrooms, food service, doctors, a little privacy, and more showers than the team locker rooms. The former Compaq Center was a basketball arena seating about 17,000. The Superdome was hell on earth during Katrina; not a good example of caring for people.

Keep giving your money to Osteen. Perhaps he can build an extra wing on his mansion.
Trump arrived with sharply dressed trophy wife in tow, gave some thumbs up, looked disinterested in much but the crowd size. He hugged no babies, talked to no seniors, didn't ask a single businessperson about the challenges ahead or how the feds could help. Trump is a man without a soul. He is incapable of empathy. He is unfeeling to the point of being inhuman with a loathsome fixation on himself and only himself.
I'm absolutely sure you don't "get it", but what you describe that the President failed to do - is a "photo Op" for nothing but a Political Grandstand. You are correct, he didn't do any of that. What he DID do was to talk with First Responders and bring his Cabinet Leaders that were applicable WITH the staff that he is putting in place in the TEXAS-FEMA authority to facilitate the recovery.
That means nothing to you, but it's likely to mean quite a bit to those in the path of the Harvey Destruction.
Texans are perfectly OK with the fact that he didn't "kiss babies" or "talk to seniors" for a Photo Op.
Thanks for your concern, we all appreciate it a lot.
All the sheet rock and most wood floors that were under water will need to be ripped out, same for electrical that was submerged. The remainder that is salvageable will need to be scrubbed with bleach to prevent mold.
Bleach would be the worst possible anti-microbial for porous surfaces like wood and drywall. It doesn't penetrate.
A flood victim slams CNN reporter. Looking for drama and ratings. I noticed there was no CNN logo on the mic and wonder if it was deliberate since they know how despised they are as a news outlet.
I didn't see it, I don't watch Drama News .... did CNN try to talk about the Scary Alligators/Crocodiles and her opinion on High Heels??
If so - CNN "reporter" was Lucky-Lucky-Lucky she/he didn't get Punched Out.
Gotta love HEB. They are making a mobile kitchen heading to GRBrown convention center to feed people!
HEB - the pride of Texas. Texas Born, Texas Proud. The Largest Privately Owned Grocery Chain in the USA.
They donate 8-10% of their profit to the communities where they have stores. You can always count on them.
Texas Task Force (State public/private/volunteer Disaster Relief) is moving their Kitchens and AMBUS's as needed most urgently. I'm not sure that most are remembering that Texas has disaster/refugee/cleanup going on all the way from North Padre Island to the Louisiana/Texas Border. Millions of people at risk that these wonderful organizations are helping.
The current crisis for Life is in Houston and the surrounding area -- BUT, Coastal Bend areas like Port Aransas, Rockport, Aransas Pass ..... are rubble and they are still doing door to door searches for Life.
Thanks Mpowering we ended up staying here. Our power went out so that's why I stopped posting. It's doing better but we are really concerned with levees close by. Hopefully they will hold up!
Same re the Conroe Dam holding Lake Conroe.
to pbmaise for his related posts. IMO, he skillfully communicates the information he is absorbing with his 'engineer's eye'.
