Hurricane WILMA
Trump Scores a Win

Trump Bilked The Government For $17 Million In ‘Repairs’ During Hurricane Wilma

Trumps failed environmental policies are going to make things like this even more common

'No way to prevent' potential chemical plant explosion near Houston, Arkema CEO says

http://abcnews.go.com/US/risk-chemical-plant-explosion-houston-prompts-evacuation-harvey/story?id=49521170

unlike all the other prez's, Trump came with ALL the needed heads of the depts that would be needed to get the info from the "on the ground" guys/gals so they could get to work ASAP.  He's been lauded by the governor of Texas over and over for being so prepared and having everything in place and ready to go BEFORE Harvey hit AND for the coordination and communication between local, state and federal groups.

Did he inherit some of this from those who came before him, probably, but not ALL of it.  Just give him credit for what he does right and stop nit picking and trying to find everything wrong with him.

I hated Bill Clinton and Obama but I did give them credit when it was due.  ie Bill Clinton actually worked with the GOP in congress to pass Newt's Contract with America. 

I can't think of anything positive that Obama did however... the whole eight years... not one thing.

WTF? Texas is underwater and GOP eyeing nearly $1B disaster funds cut to help build Trump's wall

after they finish paying for "the wall "

Why Do Trumpers Think Obama Was President During Katrina?

http://crooksandliars.com/2017/08/why-do-trumpers-think-obama-was-president

teh STOOPID

it burns

ALL politicans "pray" and are at least publicly are so called "Christians"
you cannot get elected in this country without pretending to be religious
and when Trump isn't praying he is "grab them by the ------"
or defrauding carpenters,sheet rock guys,electricians etc who put up his buildings made of CHINESE steel

talk is CHEAP
what did Jesus say about praying ???
Matthew 6;6
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

or you can stand on a stage and pray for the world to see
kinda like the Pharisees did ???

sorry but Trump didn't score a "win"
let me break down the situation
he was a politician who went to a disaster scene
said our "thoughts and prayers are with you"  BLAH BLAH BLAH

like EVERY other politician before him
and EVERY politician after him will do
BIG FREAKING DEAL

setting the bar kinda low aren't we ?

and in other news

duhhhhhh !!!!

"To those of you affected by this storm we are praying for you and we are with you every single step of the way. To those Americans who have lost love ones, all of America is grieving with you and our hearts are joined with yours forever. "

President Donald Trump to the victims of the Harvey storm in Texas and Louisiana.

comment: What more compassionate statement with spiritual values could be said to those suffering? When have we ever seen this before for any president - with over 70% of America - Christians?  We need to get back to our moral and basic values and faith we once had in America. More than ever - we need divine intervention to protect and watch over our country.

Thank you nc_girl. There was an eye-opener today that truly disturbed many anti-Trumpers in San Francisco near where I live in Monterey.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/08/30/feinstein-stuns-san-francisco-crowd-trump-can-be-good-president.html

U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., stunned a San Francisco audience Tuesday when she said that if President Trump "can learn and change," he could “be a good president.”
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Feinstein made the comments during a sold-out Herbst Theater interview. She was onstage with Ellen Tauscher, a former Bay Area congresswoman.
The paper described the event as a “political lovefest” — pointing out that Feinstein is wildly popular in San Francisco, where she served as mayor for a decade. She was first elected to the Senate in 1992, after a failed bid for governor of California.
Toward the end of the evening, Feinstein reportedly shocked the crowd when she declined to say that Trump should be impeached and then told the audience that they should be prepared to see Trump complete his four-year term.

Feinstein serves on both the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee, both of which are investigating Russia’s alleged involvement in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
“The question is whether he can learn and change. If so, I believe he can be a good president,” she said.

The report said, “the crowd reacted with stunned silence, broken only with scattered “No’s and a few hisses and some nervous laughter.” The article said that kind of talk is “never heard in Democratic circles.”

comment: I truly approach this on neutral ground and every president we have had is human, has flaws, and skeletons in their political closets. The bottom line in being a president is a learning situation with a learning curve. No one is truly 100% prepared for what they face when intelligence people brief them on how things "really are" versus what the public had been told. Diane Feinstein is on the intelligence committee and most certainly knows the truth about the investigations currently going on and more than the press.

Most of the allegations have been smoke and mirrors and had there been anything solid, the liberals would not be hopping from issue to issue as most attacks fail without any lack of fuel or substance. The stock markets continue to consistently go up. Faith in America and even more so, businesses and a drop in unemployment is a reality.

As Lincoln once said "You can't please all the people all the time. You can please all of the people some of the people some of the time, but if you can't please all of the people all the time."
Or precisely

https://scottdunlop.wordpress.com/2007/09/07/famous-word-of-lincoln-and-lydgate-you-cant-please-all-of-the-people-all-of-the-time/

After a recent experience with a candidate, I was reminded of the famous words from poet John Lydgate, later adapted by President Lincoln – and appearing in various permutations:
“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.

There are some good journalists, but we have seen a rather solid and consistent attack on Trump unlike any other president in history. Also if you will look at the numbers for foreign leaders, many of them have and even lower approval rating than Trump. This includes the Prime Minister of the U.K.

The wave of global criticism globally for many leaders is not a sign of a more informed public. It is a sign of people who are overwhelmed with TMM (too much misinformation).

The press is an extremely powerful entity. Most people do not check to see if news stories are accurate and just accept them. They will riot, be violent, and even kill people based on information that is inherently false.

Unfortunately, in America, this applies to many areas of our life where drugs (i.e. medicine) often does not do what it supposed to, groups seeking money blatantly lie as much of it goes to the organization and far less to those they claim to help, and daily news which is more like history rewritten for those who watch it to shock them.

Yes, shock is a value learned in the past in late-night T.V. ads that suddenly got louder and the guy would stand in a clown suit selling used cars. They were irritating. So the media has learned the being basically annoying is the way to get attention - and tearing people up - the forte of National Enquirer and made-up stories about movie stars - gets more readers.

They are no longer reliable or truly credible and we need Real News - from people at the scene - and the whole fabric of Twitter to get around misquotes of what is said or happens.

Trump has scored a win. He did what he said he would do and he was out there trying to help and will go back and try to get congress to help Texas. Whether his wife Melania wore stiletto heels when she got on the plane, she was wearing tennis shoes when her feet stepped down on the Texas runway from Air Force One.

https://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/343330/melania-trump-change-shoes-texas-hurricane-harvey/

Much ado about nothing.

She has been a noteworthy first lady and is loyal and supportive of her husband.

You did a good thing Donald Trump in Texas. Different than two other presidents, especially Bush during Katrina that totally messed up.

The liberals need to learn the concept of being positive and that you create your world by your attitude towards it. If you want a short and unhappy life, you can criticize everything, and ignore facts that prove you wrong.

People have a right to express their opinions and say them without being attacked. Any group that violates that right for others is guilty of the same oppression and fascism they are protesting against.

And now for Louisiana - the ghosts of hurricanes past - Katrina - it isn't over by a long shot.

Thank you Med for telling the truth in a clearly anti-Trump discussion group. 

I voted for him, believe in him and am grateful for all that he has already accomplished and hope that Congress gets their act together to support Trump's agenda.

Is he perfect?  Nope, but he is definitely better than Clinton or Obama and is actually trying to build up our country instead of tear it down.  Is he a Christian?  I think so... does that automatically make him no longer a sinner?  nope.  We are all sinners even after we're saved. 

Look in history and notice in the Bible how many times God used flawed men to do his will.  He uses them over and over and over again.

I want the MSM to stop telling lies and start just telling the truth.  I don't want to him them push their agendas any longer.  I'm sick of it.

Trump visited a Texas firehouse where victims were gathered and commented on the turn out. Tell me that's normal behavior for anyone but a full blown narcissist.

Now we watch and wait and see - The Real News

That is pretty dramatic proof!  There always were climate "bombs" before, the scary bit is the escalation of size and frequency - and the escalation of the escalation.

Sorry to hear about your medical issues, Med. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Those are some seriously rose colored glasses you have on there - you elevated a ruthless businessman with a reputation for refusing to pay his debts practically to sainthood in one post.

It is interesting to watch the media squirm as U.S. President Donald Trump scores a a win in his handling of the disaster in Texas and possibly Louisiana.

What can they do? So far he is doing a great job and preparing to fly to Texas, not just over it, and has already mobilized help and is done the best of any president in handling a disaster in decades.

Already Fox and CNN prep to find anything wrong or evil in his dealings, to catch him in a single line in Twitter, to trap him as he arrives in Texas to possibly be a hero.

"He can't handle it - he won't be able to handle it"

CNN correspondent Jim Acosta, a constant critic of President Donald Trump, tweeted (i.e. posted on a social media network) about what the Trump administration is going to do to keep Texans safe:



Now is the winter of our discontent...

http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/261500.html

Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious summer by this sun of York was coined by Shakespeare and put into print in Richard III, 1594. The 'sun of York' wasn't of course a comment on Yorkshire weather but on King Richard. In this play Shakespeare presents an account of Richard's character that, until the late 20th century, largely formed the popular opinion of him as a malevolent, deformed schemer. Historians now view that representation as a dramatic plot device - necessary for the villainous role that Shakespeare had allocated him. It isn't consistent with what is now known of Richard III, who in many ways showed himself to be an enlightened and forward-looking monarch. The discovery of Richard's skeleton under a car park in Leicester has provided precise evidence of the extent of his deformity. While being somewhat curved Richard's spinal deformity has now been shown to have been exaggerated and deliberately faked in some portraits.

comment: so amidst their dreams the Democrats stir hoping somehow, someway, in a single line said or an act done by Trump, they can completely invalidate whatever he does in shining where many other presidents have failed.

Funny mouth, funny hair, evil, bad nasty and racist Trump showing love and compassion for Texas, what I consider a mini-nation that could probably exist without the U.S.

Reality check and time for ... The Real News.

Almost every significant win and gain by President Trump, including a soaring stock market, a huge reduction in illegal immigration, a solid support for manufacturing, U.S. industry and a sincere try to force the stubborn Democrats to fix a disastrous Obama care and pass tax relief for Americans - has all been ignored as they desperately argue over how many angels can dance on the head a of pin.

This was a classic debate over nothing of the clergy in Medieval and unenlightened Europe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_many_angels_can_dance_on_the_head_of_a_pin%3F

Having attended a church service Trump ended his oath of office with the significant words -
"So help me God".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=820BKHVjyP0

Despite an ending series of attacks and stalking by the mainstream media - we now see a person with compassion and intelligence moving to help the people in Texas and promising to back them 100% in their struggle which continues.

As I visited my doctor yesterday day after a serious heart attack on August 22, 2017 where I almost died and entered a neutral sex bathroom in the new VA Clinic, I found myself thinking, and thanking God that despite all the social chaos and claims, President Trump is trying his best to beyond the words and hypocrisy of the last administration, to draw upon the strength and commitment to show the world that  America cares about its people and will unite in a tragedy, while the love and decency in Texas for their neighbors, not just friends, shines like beacon to show us how people should act and behave and love each other in a moral and enlightened society.

And so as I left intensive care and returned to post here on AFT - and called Dr. John Ray and asked him - Will the media not stop stalking him?

Not likely.

Walking through a minefield of reporters Trump heads for Texas and I hope his words will be remembered and that God will help him make America great - again - by showing sincere caring and actions far more than words for those whose lives are in danger. My prayers are with you Texas and with our nation as we face some of the greatest challenges to survive in a truly dangerous world.
