Climate change is making disasters more frequent, costly and deadly, and here we are with an "administration" that not only chooses to ignore it but to strip away funding for research that could help us become better prepared.

The Texas Flash Flood Is a Preview of the Chaos to Come
Climate change is making disasters more common, more deadly and far more costly, even as the federal government is running away from the policies that might begin to protect the nation.

I ran some numbers last year on voter fraud using the Heritage Foundation's claim of 1,500 cases of voter fraud. Their database needed cases dating back to 1948 to get to 1,500 and they note 41 *attempts" by non-citizens to vote in 40 years, or 1/year. Lightning strikes kill 20/year in America.

I believe Drumpf has visions of a new master race right here in the USA.

Another question to ask: if he and the crew are SGEs at USDS, they need an appointee or career federal supervisor giving direction to SGEs, who are consultants not directors, all likely subject to FOIA. Is there even an acting head of USDS? Do the agencies they are arriving at have acting heads?
If he & others are Special Government Employees, here are some additional questions to ask:

- who is the sponsoring agency and the supervisor of record?
- have they filed the required financial conflicts of interest paperwork and have any conflicts been adjudicated?

Stating the obvious:

Canada, Mexico & China are our top 3 trading partners & combined provide 40% of our imports.

Economic strength is 1 of 4 elements of national power: Economic, Diplomatic, Military & Information.

It won't be long before our economic policies negatively affect the other 3.

Biden preemptively pardoned J6 police officers who were beaten and injured, to protect them against retribution from the insurrection leader because they dared to testify truthfully before Congress.

Trump pardoned the thugs who beat them.

Trump is scum. Elon is scum.
This is what the incoming president is doing. Taking some misguided victory lap as LA burns. Has he uttered a single well wish for the millions of people in this city or is that only reserved for those who display sufficient fealty?
