Two questions for you: 1)Are you seriously trying to imply that ignoring a President’s mental decline then writing a book about said decline is worse than ignoring significant information that a man is a pedophile and becoming the number one contributor to that man being elected President? 2) Is there any topic of discussion that doesn’t have anything to do with Biden that will not give you the Biden quivers and make you lash out against him? My question for the board is general….where’s the ____DS police??? Everyone on break??

This seems brought on from the drugs. Don’t get me wrong, would not be surprised at all if he is in the files. Plenty of smoke for that fire. However, Elon’s work had zero to do with the FBI or DOJ. He wouldn’t have been privy to those files, especially if Trump is in there. Appears to me behavior of someone who’s seeing their personal ‘stock’ (pun intended) drop off the cliff, coping with more drugs, and acting accordingly.

Couple side notes: Federal judge has temporarily blocked the deportation of the family pending hearings. While the attacker was on an expired visa, the mother and children were legal. The oldest just graduated high school three days before the attack, and won a "Best and Brightest" scholarship which she intends to use in medical school. According to reports the wife has fully cooperated.

I don't understand why people don't want to take the time or minimal effort to get actual details on a situation in favor of coming to an anonymous message board with some strong stance that only shows how misinformed they are. No immigration raid here, no human trafficking, no military intervention. It was simply investigating a drug and money laundering case, at two locations owned by the same person (the second location just didn't have all of the citizens thinking they had the right to interfere) backed by a federal search warrant. In other words....something that happens, legally and rightfully, in America every day. Well, minus the cast of PCU thinking they had something to protest about.

Thanks for the feedback folks, and not to worry, I shall do nothing with the highly sensitive and extremely detailed personal information you have given here. Turning the house into a vacation rental is definitely one of the options. On the post Ian rebuild I actually did some things to gear it toward a vacation rental. There are pros and cons to that option but it's certainly on the table.

I have never been a condo person, but I have to say it has been a strong consideration for the simple fact of not having to take care of the property. I don't mind the work involved, but thinking more at that point in life, are there other things I would rather do with the time.

How many empty nesters on this board? Just read the article below that hits at something I have been seriously thinking about for a bit. My youngest of five will be a senior and is going straight into the fire academy after, most likely 'up north'. I have one daughter in Michigan and three others still here in Florida, but all have plans to move out of state in the near future, save for one who is doing a pretty good job at building a business and may stay put. I have no plans to leave my job so I will be staying put in Florida, but I am considering some things on a couple different fronts: 1) Do I move out of this house.....what do I move into? 2) what do I do with this house? Obviously I'm not looking for anyone to 'tell me what to do', but rather interested in hearing some stories from other empty nesters. Both those who stayed put and those who changed their situations. What were your pros and cons, what were some things you would do different, what are same things you're very glad you did do? For those who changed their situations, how did that impact get togethers with the kids, especially those who have started their own families? Side note, and this is not to look for any sympathy but certainly adds important context to this, my wife passed away and I will truly be an empty nester. So it's literally soley my consideration, save for the above mentioned impact on get togethers with the kids. What It's Really Like Living in a Tiny Home, from an Expert Who’s Done It

The details of this, the condition in how the girls were found, is absolutely horrifying. Sickening.

I'm not choosing to ignore anything, I'm just not bouncing around looking for anything possible to argue and make myself feel better like I'm winning an anonymous message board argument. I addressed a very specific stupid comment(s) you made in trying to make a point, that made no sense. I live in the middle of hurricane alley, and I work for a municipality. I have had my house destroyed and I have worked hand in hand with FEMA putting our city back together. I can assure you this is a topic I ignore nothing. I can also assure FEMA is not perfect, for sure. What is? But......parrots are gonna parrot. Enjoy.

FEMA has nothing to do with projecting the path and strength of storms. The more you speak on the topic the more you show how clueless on the topic you are, no matter how many people you and Tripnsweep know out there.... You should just stop.

This is such a stupid, uninformed comment I don’t even know where to begin.

When Captain Butt Bunch does a pretty good job of making my point loud and clear, I need say no more.

You obviously haven’t been paying attention. Like I said, talking out your a** more than normal.

I’m curious how you came to this conclusion. Sounds like Jimmy and the butt bunch….

That is just stupid. You’re talking out of your a** more than normal with this whole line of posts.

Actually it is not factually incorrect. And yes you are saying what I'm suggesting, by stating that aid being withheld from Republican areas being false rumors is factually incorrect. When in reality, aid being withheld is what is factually incorrect. If you would dig into stories instead of running with whatever gives you warm fuzzies, you would have learned that: Yes the state of Florida did sue the FEMA administrator for withholding aid for political reasons based on this event. The suit and investigation ran through the end of the Biden administration, and the beginning of the Trump administration. The conclusion......just about five weeks ago.....was that there was absolutely no findings that FEMA as an agency did or had any intention of withholding any aid to these areas, the suit was settled without any fault or punitive damages, and dropped against FEMA the agency, while still pursuing the claims against the individual. The acting head of FEMA at the suits conclusion, who was appointed by Trump, even stated that field officers are receiving extensive training that political affiliation has no bearing in rendering of assistance. So no, his first point is not at all factually incorrect. One bad actor does not a broader policy make. Hard stop.

A bad actor abused authority and acted like a s**thead, and the agency dealt with it accordingly by firing her a** and turning it over for a possible criminal investigation. As goes with any situation involving a bad actor, one bad actor does not a broader policy make.

I’d take issue with the article placing the increase in death and destruction on climate change. Or at least solely on climate change. It’s not like some of the most recent storms top the list of strongest storms in history. A big part of the issue is we are building more and more and more on the coastlines. The city I live in has been hit hard the last few years. But it’s a city that they literally had to haul in dirt and build hundreds of miles of canals to make it livable. More and more preserves and mangrove areas are being torn down to build living space. Putting a lot more homes and a lot more people in the path. I’m not bi***ing, I’m one of them. I wasn’t born here, I moved here. My house got almost completely destroyed in Ian, but I rebuilt and stayed put. Irma 8 years ago hammered us. Milton last year made landfall 30 miles north, did a lot of damage again. Still stayed put. (For one more year). More houses are going up in my neighborhood. It’s just the unarguable reality of things around here.

We still got Mike’s Weather Page…..so I’m good! It’s also obvious pretty much everyone one this thread is talking all this FEMA stuff without having any at all direct interaction with what they do, and don’t do. Everyone is getting their expertise from what they read on Twitter, etc.

He actually entered legally in ‘22. He became illegal when his visa expired this year. ICE missed one.

You're adorable

I just spent the last 20 minutes sitting down and reading the board, and I think I actually got dumber doing so. Good god

The rematch is set, once again we have the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers squaring off for the cup. Last years series was one of streaks, Panthers jumped out to a 3-0 lead before Edmonton stormed back to force a game 7…and the first six games weren’t really that close until Florida capped it off with a 2-1 win to take home their first Lord Stanley. This is an intriguing matchup. Connor McDavid has separated himself as the best skill player in the NHL, and the Oilers tooled their off season seemingly purposefully for Florida’s game. They went after puck handling and defending the net before the puck gets to the net. Florida is absolutely swarming in the defensive and neutral zones and often creates turnovers in those spaces that lead to their own crafty scores. They have a punishing forecheck when getting to their offensive zone and have players all over the ice who can score. (20 Panthers have found the back of the net in this playoffs, at one point 14 different players scoring 14 consecutive goals.). Edmonton has no lack of depth as well, however they will be playing without their best wingman Zach Hyman, who suffered and injury in game 4 of the WCF and will have surgery. Edmonton has the home ice, but Florida has been absolutely killer on the road. Save for the first two in Toronto second round, Florida has won every road game of these playoffs, including all three series clinchers, and all in dominating fashion. My pick, and obviously a homer one but with a little analysis behind it, is that Florida finally gets it done on the home ice and wins this one in 6. Game 1 Wednesday night, it’s gonna be a good one.
