    Now it looks like FEMA will not be abolished. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/07/11/trump-fema-texas-floods/ Trump administration moves away from abolishing FEMA A senior White House official told The Washington Post that no official action is being taken to wind down FEMA, and that changes in the agency will probably amount to a “rebranding” that will emphasize state leaders’ roles in disaster response.
 The official and others emphasized that Trump will make the ultimate decision, but said at this point, FEMA is not set to be abolished.

    I did chuckle when someone said Alcatraz is The Rock, so this place is The Croc. That being said... shameful celebration. I'm all for building a 1,000-foot tall fence and improving the quality/speed of immigration services, but we should be treating everyone with respect even if we are removing illegal immigrants from the country, the VAST majority (one could say nearly all) illegals are hard working and simply seeking a better life for their family.

    That ETF is a roller coaster ride. Whew! My bet is he's going to lose money betting against Trump.

    Sounds good to me. The Palestinians need a dog collar and this guy just might be the person to keep them in line. The Israeli's need to keep that dog collar on a short leash though. Abu Shabab doesn't say Yasser to anyone very easily. [image: 1752175644183-48abe406-8bac-47eb-b31b-b62cd05f58d4-image.png]

    Wouldn’t help. They couldn’t find or pay a citizen to rent a ‘warehouse’?

    That has been the universal great failing of tech docs for as long as I've been in the industry. Everything except what you need.

    Funny, we just bought a new stove (FINALLY!), called an electrician to fit a new socket as the old one sticks out of the wall and it can be flush. "Sure, is 10.30am tomorrow OK?" No show, no email, no socket, no nothing. Still, it's better than the guy who was supposed to install our new deck who did pretty much the same thing after taking $4000 of our finest American dollars. "Sorry, my father just passed away", "Sorry I'm not going to be able to do it this year", "Sure, I'll arrange for a refund"...."Sorry, I thought my office had already taken care of that".....".....silence...." Asshole.

    Drumsticks for me, though last couple of times at KFC we had their 'boneless bucket'.
