No one is stopping you, my man. Post their flag. Problem solved.

Oh I agree, It would have been nice to see our leader lead the way.

My brother in law lives in Maui, and has for almost 40 years. He sends regular updates to my wife and sisters in law. He says the response from the feds has been basically spectacular. Leadership is more about doing things than it is about performance artistry. But go ahead, surf the algorithm.

Glad to hear this, and I quite agree. I saw Oprah speaking to locals and their request for help seemed as if they needed far more than what was being provided....down to her calling Hanes and them committing to send 2.5 million units, to supply undergarments for everyone.

I wonder about our expectations of our leadership too. This calamity in Maui -- like the hurricanes in Houston and Haiti and countless (and counting) other weather related disasters -- are just far beyond the scope of virtually any of us to wrap our heads around. Where do you start: shelter, potable fresh water, food, clothing. After that it is a long slog made more complicated by the intransigence and bureaucracy of insurance companies and the governments trying to help. It is never a neatly rehearsed little play or performance. It always leaves some people slipping through the many, many cracks that have opened up in the communities. If the government is committing the resources, trying its best, and helping as many people as it can manage, it is doing alright. No one gets an A in this course; a B- is probably what we can properly expect.

Well said. It certainly makes matters worse, when it is an island. Although, being in a profession when contingencies are crucial, there are always MOP(Methods of procedure) that must be followed. I would hope that FEMA, Red Cross, and our Military would already be on stand-by and following a flowchart that would flip the switches for action within frist request from the state or local government to the feds.

Can only hope they don't end up like Puerto Rico after multiple hurricanes.

Two things.

1. you can see here that Americans EXPECT the FEDERAL government to fix things. Not insurance. Not the free market. Not their own savings. Not their STATE Government. The FEDERAL.

This is what gets my back up------when the chips are down, Americans who claim independence and freedom are LYING. I wish they'd stop with this lie, so that we could get on with good governance, and stop LYING and saying the Government is the problem, and that socialism is bad. How many times have I said this: if you don't want big government? Great. Start with what YOU get from the Federal government.

This is the entitlement that conservatives swear "only the libs" have. They're not being remotely honest.

2. does this mean folks are FINALLY tired of the reality that it is the US OFFENSE industry, and has just about nothing to do with DEFENDING our shores?

YA link is to something called “end wokeness”….Remarkable

The link is the problem in Hawaii not the person in turmoil. 🫣

Lift himself up by his bootstraps and stop acting like a victim. End wokeness. The government is not here to help you.

Those lesions are really taking a stronghold, even effecting your ability to discern it was a woman in the video, not a man. You can do better...but maybe not

ok, herself...TLD's comment remains relevant.
First, what the heck does this have to do with wokeness, second what the heck is she whining about?

Sure, she's facing a huge calamity.

But she sounds like she assumes the federal government is supposed to pay for everything, all the time and yet she's obviously a partisan...if she wasn't making it political, I'd say, yes, this is a disaster and that's indeed where FEMA steps in to help with disaster relief...thank your lucky stars that FEMA exists, thank you whoever bothers to come help, bring attention to your disaster, showing some concern and empathy...or else shut up.

A fan is right, shut up about hating the federal government, hating "socialism", if you're just going to turn around and expect help...focus your ire, if any is appropriate, on those actually responsible, if anyone is, for the actual disaster...look at your local government, look at your local power company...ohh, you want the federal government to do more regulating? ok, then shut up about too much safety regulation...or stop asking for help...

Pick a lane.

and like clockwork....MD comes in to clean up TLD's messes. You must really think he needs the help, I tend to agree.

Put your thinking cap on. How do you know that person’s preferred pronoun? Anyway, praying for her will help. Maybe those people weren’t holy enough? Are you not Christ like?

No clue what you are talking about. The only story to discuss is that pain she has endured and the nothingness she and others have yet to benefit or received from the Feds...implying they can do better. But hey.....let's make the story about the one site I cited or many, or pronouns, or wokeness, or mocking prayer and their faith.

It's a shame you spend so much time finding the negative in most everyone, I suppose it could reflect how you feel internally with your daily projections of others. You can do better.

I find negative in people? Dude go look in the mirror. I find bull$h!t in people that are hypocrites….but act like a victim….

Apparently I too didn't pick up on TLD's sarcasm with the pronoun switch..."wokeness"...

What I don't get is why you shared this link from a source, EndWokeness.

What do you think about her whining?

Warner Bros. Discovery named Mark Thompson as its next CEO and chairman of cable news network CNN.
Thompson previously served as president and CEO of The New York Times, as well as director-general of the BBC.

Will be interesting to see if he can stop the bleeding of audience at the network.

Maybe start by letting the news anchors sit down on the air.

,,, there had been rumors that they were going to follow Faux News into the darkness. I would guess this move at very least puts that plan on hold.

It’s how younger people make the algorithms work for themselves.
