Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
I will not get worried about the storms predicted for the DC area, because those poor people of the mid west that I love to tease are suffering so much more. They don’t deserve that.
1So….
How does our economy withstand all these onslaughts?
Hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, blizzards, drought…
Massive defense spending, trillions in debt (hundreds of billions in interest payments), tariffs, tax cuts, fossil fuel subsidies, factory tax giveaways…
Poverty, sickness, bad bridges, dams and roads, failings cities…
There comes a point where no measures can stave off the social effects, except war, which may be nuclear.
Meanwhile we dither.
2It’s obvious this bad weather has been brought to us by Russia and Putin.
3No, the point of going to war is to distract from Donnie’s problems.
Best wishes to anyone under the storms or downstream. A lot of trees down and other damage in DC area but haven’t seen any reports of injuries.
4Kansas city meto area is ok but very wet from the storms. Apart from power outages we are ok. But neighboring areas in Kansas and Missouri really a mess from twisters, and it does not seem to be over yet. Scary.
5The definitive source for severe US weather [and official], what your media uses to inform you [your tax dollars at work]:
6.
NOAA’S Storm Prediction Center:
https://www.spc.noaa.gov/
.
Direct current SPC storm reports, has links for ‘today’, ‘yesterday’, or any past day:
https://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/online/
.
And, because it has already begun [Andrea], the NOAA National Hurricane Center:
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/?atlc
.
Of course there are various other websites, like some “stormchaser” ones for WXnuts, where you’ll get live ‘on the ground now’ reports.
First good luck to all and be safe.
7From what I have read the midwest and much of the Missouri/ Mississippi are seeing flooding that sounds similiar to the disaster that befell them when Clinton was president.
At that time FEMA was praised for its response, espiacially after perjurer poppa’s misadministration and botching recovery from Hurricaan in Florida.
I remember that FEMA at the time required some relocation out of the floodplains for structures and in some cases even entire towns.
I am curious if people in that region are seeing any positive effects of those relocations and how is FEMA doing under demented donnies maladminitration?
I think we got away from the storm that blew through NoVA about 4 PM yesterday with some damage but nothing like what others elsewhere suffered. We have had tornadoes in our region before some years ago when a whole bunch of them came tearing up northward along I-95 and old Route 1. On the TV weather map they looked like a pack of wolves chasing prey. There was a tornado warning yesterday but it never materialized by 8 PM so we all hit the hay in safety.
8Sorry for those enduring violent weather. Here in GA we’re just looking at 100+ temperatures. Summer is nearly a month away.
I read yesterday of wildfires in northern Scotland. Climate change is real.
