Please 🙏🏻 download an app with weather alerts. I use the FEMA app and get weather updates before they show up on the news or a weather alert/siren. I sure hope that this app doesn’t go away.
It also gives location of shelters and then recovery centers when and if the event is declared a disaster

Attachment FEMA. When and if it’s declared a “FEMA” disaster let us respect the individual’s whose lives were lost, the survivors and their families.
These are unprecedented sudden disasters and will most likely continue here and elsewhere in the world.

So will I need a passport to enter a national park? Planning on visiting one later this month just want to prepare. Don’t usually travel in the US with my passport but it’s definitely looking like it will be the norm before too long.

Laptops have replaced books in schools. The digital books cost less than traditional textbooks. The laptops are the cheapest alternative. I’m guessing the parents will have to buy the laptops. Another hidden “tax” as students are required by law to go to school and have the required materials.

How do you know that they won’t take away citizenship from people? Do you know the current plans of the administration? I have yet to read what the plan is for birthright citizenship. I do know there is a citizenship plan for the extremely wealthy.?
June 27, 2025 at 8:06 PM
Yes I understand what is involved in the birthright citizenship requirements. Birth certificates list only parents names and not nationality-at least in the state where I live. So how do I prove I’m legal? If both parents are birthright citizens I’m I legal? Too many variables-lots of lawsuits.

If birth right citizenship goes away does that mean every citizen will have to find documents from their parents proving that one or both were US citizens. Will it void passports of birthright citizens?

Why do they sound like middle schoolers doing an oral book report who haven’t read the book?

So if it’s was top secret why is she talking about it? Has it been declassified…I don’t know the rules used by the military but classified info when leaked doesn’t declassify.

So the GOP wants to cut healthcare but Kennedy wants people to buy wearables to monitor our own health. 🤔So we have to become our own doctor, lab tech and determine our own treatment. Excellent plan. Wonder what the US life expectancy will look like in 10 years?

Survey of one.

So now anyone can show up with tactical gear ( bought online) wearing a mask and grab anyone that looks like an immigrant (brown). How is this not kidnapping without the proper writ…it is kidnapping. It is a federal crime if they transport across state lines.

Stay healthy and you won’t have to see a doctor.

Even if the farm labor is here legally the goons at ICE don’t seem to listen to people’s appeals or evidence of legal status. Who would want to show up to work and risk being arrested and deported to a country that is unknown to you or worse put in custody in a gulag.

The sad part is they are following the oath they swore but I can’t say that for the…oh my…I really don’t believe I’m going to write this…commander in chief.

I know this is a meme or sarcasm but really….why use the photoshopped face of Pmurt? A real unvarnished image would be more effective.

AirBnB morphed to a property/money grab-in the beginning it seemed like it’s was people who had extra space to rent and the owners were present. Haven’t used it for years now-seeing the housing shortage nearby partly caused by AirBnB

I think that there’s a twisted idea that if ACA is destroyed then people will go back to work. The problem is the GOP is out of touch-people are working sometimes 3 jobs and none offer health care benefits as part time jobs. Time to unionize for part time workers.
May 31, 2025 at 11:32 PM
Thinking the GOP doesn’t care but could it be they are trying to commit political suicide. They are so afraid of the wrath of Blumph that this is the only way they can stop the madness.— Losing congress in the midterms is the goal. 🙏🏻
May 23, 2025 at 5:23 AM
I just don’t understand the logic of the GOP—all the pro-life rhetoric yet they want to take away food the sustenance of life and in addition should you be bodily weak and become ill you might not be able to seek care to carry on living. Doesn’t sound pro-life to me!

Sadly very typical this time of year. The school cafeterias have to operate within a budget and don’t want to be left with unpaid lunch tabs. Usually the students can get a free basic sandwich and milk. This country is rich enough that no child should go without a nutritional meal. Shame on us!

The policy also reduces herd
immunity therefore increasing the possibility of more cases even among those vaccinated.

I’m looking at the icon used in this post…does that look like a reichsadler or German imperial eagle?
