Biden and Harris had FEMA on the ground before Hurricane Milton hit—prepared and accountable. Trump’s response to Hurricane Maria? Delayed, chaotic, and lacking empathy. The contrast is clear: Biden leads, Trump failed.

And if the con is on, and the plan is to cheat to get elected, then actual job performance doesn't matter. Which is why -- I'll say it again - it's up to us, the grassroots, to get out the vote and get out the vote again.

Yes , I agree it's critical to that we show up in droves to vote. To encourage your family, friends and anyone who is doubt about who to vote for, talk to them.

Every time Trump opens his mouth a lie falls out. He's so full of nonsense it just falls out. Wait, wait, he's about to lie again right now!...

Per David Robson's 10/9 'NEW SCIENTIST' report, "The discovery of a small blue blob of neurons, the locus COERULEUS controls your mode of thinking suggests ways to increase learning, creativity, focus & alertness."

These neurons more commony referenced as the "little blue dot". 🔵

I'd love to know more about this research! Thanks for the tip, Counsellor.

David's 6 page piece takes reports the participants [ cohort ]from "mind wandering" to "better control over their locus coeruleus, a fact confirmed by a functional MRI scan that directly measured its activity."

The publication, New Scientist is valuable. I track cutting edge medical research, lead authors & institutional support of same. Probably tickles my "blue dot" 🔵 but, I don't have a bulky MRI machine handy to confirm, alas. : ... (

True. Additionally, his every accusation is a confession.

David, especially his accusation that the Biden administration “robbed” FEMA of money to give to immigrants.

In fact, he took money out of FEMA’s disaster fund in 2019 to build cages at the southern border for adult male immigrants.

Yes , I agree. This is why we have a responsibility to see to it that the truth is told.

Yet the story on the TV news this morning referenced a "controversy" over FEMA's response. The only controversy is in Trump's tiny brain.

Legacy media has failed it's responsibility. Makes me fear they long for Trump.

Yet the survivors interviewed are probably in the backroads in the mountains somewhere. if it takes horses, boats and helicopters to get supplies to them, hmm. Graham Allen (BIG TIME TRUMP SUPPORTER) did a thing showing how awful things were. I wished I had watched more carefully, but he showed a big tree that had to be sawed to make the road passable. I suspect that there was more than one tree that had to be cut down, possibly more if the guy lived in the woods. One tree to a guy's driveway (or road) whose house was so far off the road, you could barely see it.

We had three trees down on my street and as well as all the other streets surrounding me. I was stuck (this was for a major unannounced blizzard ice storm we had in CT years back). This was in suburbs. No one complained. We were not survivalists. We lit our fireplaces, used our grills, cooked hotdogs. When the trees were cut we just went to friends and relatives. I don't know if FEMA was there or not. I suspect they were. Fortunately, there was no flooding or houses blown down. We did have cold and no power. There were a lot of electric workers from out of state. We had some guys from Georgia. If you live where there are trees you make sure you have some sort of generator. End of problem.
