Something just reminded me that you don’t have to go back to JFK, just look at what happened to RFK Jr when he tried to be a dimocrat.

And another win:

This is destroying the dimocrat party.

Why are insurance companies leaving Florida? The big question is: Why are insurance companies pulling out of Florida? The reasons behind the home insurance crisis in Florida are complicated, but several key factors have a big impact. Soaring litigation costs. The Insurance Information Institute (Triple-I) published a brief on the Florida insurance crisis. It noted that a 2017 State Supreme Court decision allows courts to award a plaintiff's attorneys two to two-and-a-half times their hourly billing rate when courts rule in favor of policyholders. The result is more lawsuits. Triple-I says Florida accounts for 79% of insurance lawsuits filed, with only 21% in the rest of the country. An increasing number of reinsurers who have chosen to retreat from the state in the face of rising litigation. The Florida market is home to several smaller insurers who rely heavily on reinsurers and the booming housing market along coastal counties, which are more prone to flooding and hurricanes. Severe weather. Those hurricanes are incredibly costly; Hurricane Ian caused $113 billion in damage and Hurricane Helene and Milton caused billions more. The bottom line? Florida homeowners are projected to pay higher rates and find it more difficult to get coverage at all as Florida insurance companies in trouble look to reduce risk or leave altogether. https://www.insurance.com/home-and-renters-insurance/home-insurers-leaving-florida You just knew it had something to do with the government.

What form do you use for Chinese and Russian bribes?

I see what you’re doing there.

By what jurisdiction?

I wholeheartedly believe that many wildfires are caused by man - with matches.

He’d recognize it as the communist enterprise that it is.

The Obamas don’t seem to be nearly as concerned with sea level rising as @whaletail and arvy are.

Their reasoning completely ignores the will of the law abiding citizens and is entirely abominable.

He says he’d arrest Bibi Netanyahu if he came to new york for UN assembly. Mossad says: “let me introduce you to my little friend.”

Global warming that doesn’t affect North Dakota? Hurricanes that are supposed to be bigger and more frequent because of man?

Yes, PhD climatologists, and meteorologists. One in particular on the strength and frequency of hurricanes is Joe Bastardi, who also happens to be involved with PSU wrestling. Her is a list of all time high temperatures for North Dakota, note the dates of the highest: https://www.plantmaps.com/en/us/climate/extremes/f/north-dakota-record-high-low-temperatures Here is an article on the subject: https://www.pitchstonewaters.com/theres-been-no-increase-scientists-debunk-climate-change-claims-about-hurricanes/

Scientists and historical references.

Wrong. Any effect man has on the climate is minuscule - wouldn’t make a pimple on a volcano’s ass.

You’re too late. Even though you are making statements that are untrue (quoted) the climate change issue has been discarded for the race to generate all the power possible to enable AI. Solar and wind just won’t cut it.

Fascinating

Trust a little, verify a lot.

The practice among Muslims is that it’s okay to lie to infidels.

He’s got TDS.

If he was a doctor you’d call him a quack, but he’s a politician, so maybe a hack. With reps like Occasional Cortex and Jefferies, it’s possible he’ll be mayor, but somehow I doubt it.

I considered a degree in geography, but there was too much math. And the challenge of getting those maps colored in the right colors was pure horror.
