This thread is for Katrina news and updates.
Me too . . .
:o)
I missed the part of the interview about Lott saying to bypass FEMA...
I reinterate....Lott is a sleaze...
BTW, what do you make of FEMA reneging on the $2000 debit cards, before they even really started giving them out????
I wonder whose idea they were, and why they were discontinued so abruptly....after telling the evacuees they are going to get them...????
My guess Fema didn't realize all the fraud that
that was taking place...
I think it was a pilot, and they found out it wasn't a good idea,.
Quick...Call Henny-Penny.
JUAN WILLIAMS is on FOX saying the race-baiting is wrong. They have some other absolute idiot on to counter him. Imagine Juan as the conservative voice.
The other guy on with Juan Williams is a racist idiot. I am so sick of hearing that President Bush doesn't like black people. It's really becoming ridiculous.
That was some unbelievable tv. Anyone who gets a chance to see this on the re-run tonight- don't miss it. Juan was talking about the president's faith-based initiatives...what he's trying to do for urban schools etc. Knock me over with a feather.
The other guy...Dr. Dyson (sp)...was so hateful I was stunned.
That is Eric Michael Dyson, who just wrote a book not too long ago, blasting Bill Cosby, for being too hard on the young black people,
by expecting them to go to school, speak correctly, dress appropriately, and not steal..
For some reason, Dyson had a problem with that...
Juan did pretty good, until he blamed Bush for not getting there fast enough....but Juan did a lot better than he usually does.
I've seen several reports this week that crime is totally out of control in Baton Rouge. Blk gangs are breaking into houses, breaking out car windows, threatening to kill white students at LSU, etc. I'm trying to find out if there's any truth to these reports whatsoever.
If they show those pictures ... there will be a backlash from the American People like they've never seen before
You can bank on that one!
Do you want to know where the Mayor of New Orleans has been most of this week?
Right here in Dallas....I have heard local interviews with him 2-3 nights in a row...
Yesterday, or the day before, he was down at Reunion Arena, with the Dallas Mayor, Laura Miller...and they were talking about getting all of the kids in school...(they have school buses from each type school, elem., jr. high, high school, pick up the kids at Reunion)...
He brought his family here on the Saturday before the hurricane, and his kids are going to school here...
So, while all of the "hard work" is going on, and the bodies being located, in HIS city...he is up here schmoozing with the Dallas Mayor....
LOL- yeah..well...I mean it's Juan, after all.
Sheesh..now hearing a meteorologist talking about 3 more cat 3's before the end of THIS season..hitting the mainland.
Ophelia..forecasting to hit between Georgia and the Carolinas..
Over here...
Jeff Flake, a representative from Arizona (Arizona Carolyn might know about him), was on with John Gibson a few minutes ago...
he is one of only 10 reps. that voted against the 51 billion in aid, that was passed yesterday, in the House and Senate...
MY representative, Joe Barton, also voted against it...
He said that by doing what they did, Congress basically just handed 51 billion over to Governors and Mayors and others --- with little or no oversight...and he said that it is just too easily subject to corruption or mismanagement.
He said they are already unhappy that FEMA ordered thousands of mobile homes...without discussing it with Congress...and Congress doesn't know where they are going, for what purpose...etc.,,
He didn't talk about it in that interview
He mentioned on FNC shortly after the news of Brown going back to DC
BTW, what do you make of FEMA reneging on the $2000 debit cards, before they even really started giving them out????
My guess ... there are afraid of people who weren't involved with he hurricane taking advantage and stealing money that they are not entitled to get
My husband and I, just tonite, were wondering where that POS was. Thanks for filling us in.
Cajungirl see my post #1009 on this thread...do you know anything about it? I've heard it's being kept quite, and troops are being moved there 'cause this is a huge problem. Don't know if what I'm hearing is true or not.
Especially since 1---they don't even know where most of the evacuees went, so there is no way that they will know if the next of kin has been notified, before the picture of a dead loved one is seen on TV...
2---they are only doing this because they are mad that the White House has a rule against showing the caskets of the military being deplanned on return to the US...
Did you hear Rush today..talk about how disappointed the MSM and dems are that it doesn't look like there will be nearly as many deaths as first rumored...He said they wanted a hugh number to hold against the President...
Disgusting!!!
Well ... we can kiss that money good bye
If there is no over sight on that money .. then nothing will change
LOL- that's why I pinged cajun girl...she lives in that area I believe.
