Quote of the Day -- Devastating Version

I just ran across this today out on social media. On President Donald J Trump.

It made wonder--and search--for who this Evan McMullin is:

David Evan McMullin (born April 2, 1976) is an American political activist and former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operations officer who ran as an independent during the 2016 United States presidential election.

He labeled himself as the only true conservative running for President at the time, too.

More national coverage on Joplin

Joplin is getting yet more national coverage, thank goodness. This time it's over at NPR on their program All Things Considered: Businesses In Joplin, Mo., Find Economic Opportunity by Missy Shelton. The story also orginated from their local station KSMU so great coverage for and from them, too. Link: http://www.npr.org/2011/09/13/140430152/businesses-in-joplin-mo-find-economic-opportunity

We can't even imagine the devastation of a cyber war in the US

President Obama is wisely and quietly both warning the country and trying to protect us, much as any government can, from any cyber warfare that would shut down the internet in this country. It's a huge threat to virtually all business in this country and so, our way of life. Truly, we can't even imagine the devastation that kind of an act--a collapsed internet--would have on this country. Sure, nothing would be blown up and no one would be killed but the financial devastation would be virtually complete, if "successful". Think World War III, without the bombs. You can't.

"W" in N'awlunz

So "W" is going back again--the 11th time--today, to New Orleans.

Wow.

The guy has nerve or is oblivious or was just forced to go, one--or more--of the three.

With what little he and his administration has done for that city and area since Hurricane Katrina, even he's got to be ashamed. Really.

Fortunately, it looks as though his administration is going to be defined, it's thought, by the Iraq War and this under-reaction to Katrina, at the very least. Oh, that and the corruption, you can't forget the corporate corruption and graft.

He's going down, apparently, to tell them to have hope and that better days are coming, according to the speech that's been released to the press.

Hmmm. Is that like the hope his Mom told the citizens of the city were to have, when they were at the Astrodome, just after the flooding? When she said it must be an improvement for them, compared to being safe and warm in their own homes?

Anyway, "W" says 126 BILLION DOLLARS has been invested in the area.

Yeah. From the pictures and video I've seen, most of the city is still destroyed.

It's 2008, for pity's sake.

This should have been taken care of already.

And for "W" to go now, saying they should still "have hope" rings horribly hollow.

I hope he's just bright enough to be embarassed.

Honestly, I doubt it.
