JUST ANOTHER HATE WEEK …1What’s next? … your guess … joyce(Each page can be screen captured and shared.)Days after the Texas and New Mexico tragedies, 14 million people remain under flood watches across parts of North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and southern New England. Generally, only about 3% of the home owners are covered by flood insurance. Meanwhile, Republicans are focused on dismantling FEMA slightly before hurricane season begins along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.Still, there is money to vastly increase the funding for ICE for concentration camps and more unidentified masked men taking away workers, mothers, fathers and children … you know … those “worst of the worst” folks.1

2Human cruelty; plus climate destruction … a made-to-order MAGA project. Why would MAGA rather spend $450 M for cruelty than for healthcare or FEMA?How did we get here? This issue is devoted to exploring the many baffling questions surrounding us.

Due process rights: none.25-year-old veteran and U.S. citizen George Retes!was detained and abducted by ICE officials during an immigration raid in Camarillo, Ca.#Car window broken, pepper-sprayed, location currently unknown.#Saturday he missed his daughter’s birthday party.If this were about removing criminals from our streets, would masked ICE agents be raiding schools, hospitals, parks, and day-labor pick-up spots?

37Texas Flood: 129 dead; 160 missing; 29 campers & counselors from Camp Mystic died. Dick Eastland, owner of Camp Mystic, died trying to rescue his young campers. He had worked for years to get a better warning system, saying, “The river is beautiful but you have to respect it.” Texas legislature repeatedly rejected the request for a better warning system.

For decades, the GOP has called climate change a hoax, a part of the Great Lie of the Democrats and the “deep state.” GOP leaders have stood fast against science, technology and all attempts to protect our planet and peoples against the heat-wave devastation coming. They have twisted their brains into Gordian knots trying to prove that prayer and God will save us … and, if HE doesn’t, they will all be raptured to a better place anyway. And, the rest of us? We can rot in hell! However, HELL may be here already … watching the death toll of Texas children rising as the destroyers of safety and warning systems wipe their hands clean of the blood. Next time, let’s elect someone who actually cares about American people and not just billionaires. — joyce22
