CNN showing on TV the ports in Puerto Rico are completely full of goods in shipping containers. The guy running the port says if they can't get the goods away from the docks, there won't be enough room to unload the barges full of more stuff that are in line. The problem is two-fold: the roads are impassable, so trucks can't get to the docks or from the docks to where the goods are needed, and because of the roads, they can't distribute fuel for the trucks in the first place. Helicopters and military trucks are getting a lot of the goods to the people, but nowhere near enough. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/sep/27/puerto-rico-recovery-is-addressed-by-trump/ Earlier this week, Puerto Rico’s governor was asked by a National Public Radio reporter how he would assess the administration’s response to Maria. The reporter may have been hoping for a different response, but Gov. Ricardo Rossello, who lines up nationally with Democrats, was having none of it. He said, “We are very grateful for the administration. They have responded quickly. The president has been very attentive to the situation, personally calling me several times. FEMA and the FEMA director have been here in Puerto Rico twice. As a matter of fact, they were here with us today, making sure that all the resources in FEMA were working in conjunction with the central government. We have been working together. We have been getting results.” San Juan’s mayor has also praised the administration for its quick response and for the advance planning that had to have been behind the ability to respond as quickly as it did, and the island’s non-voting delegate in Congress agrees. Resident Commissioner Jennifer Gonzalez told a Politico reporter on Monday, “This is the first time we got this type of federal coordination.”
Except you do need to learn one thing from watching that video. I'm no O'Reilly fan, but someone yelled and screamed at the guy responsible for the most massive banking failure in our history and the harm he did to real people. There's no excusing what Frank and his ilk did. They encouraged the banks to make the bad loans you mentioned. They encouraged them to make as many as possible so the most people could own homes, in spite of so many being horrible risks.
And got booed for it. http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/new...nday-night-football/wp37jk7eoiha1p7ktogwfftzs The Sporting News. Not a particularly political publication. Why didn't TV networks show angry, booing NFL fans Sunday or Monday? Some fans, if they reacted at all, happily clapped and cheered during protests, but others did not, and they angrily let their home teams know it. The audio mics picked up the boos. Yet the TV networks mostly avoided crowd shots Sunday, so there was never a chance for viewers to see fans jeering players. A segment of Patriots fans in Foxborough, Mass., for example, nearly booed their own players off the field when some Pats sat or kneeled, with some screaming, "Stand up!" One behind-the-scenes TV staffer at another stadium told Sporting News that camera operators were ordered to avoid crowd shots in case they showed fans counterprotesting the protests. ... If crowd shots were indeed purposely avoided, it was a wise business decision by the networks not to bite the hand that feeds them their most popular programming, but a weak move from a journalistic standpoint. By covering one of the most significant days in NFL history with rose-colored glasses, the networks cheated viewers. We got an incomplete picture of what really happened in stadiums on Sunday and Monday.
...so this whole NFL situation has created quite the response to the website https://dontwatchnfl.com/ I launched years ago when the NFL was more focused on ratings than the criminals on the field -and- more focused on sweeping CTE science under the rug -- the message has taken a dramatic shift and the organic traffic is finally taking off to point that I had to redo the entire website this morning -- Thanks Trump?!
At least. It will hurt China too. Where do you think all the cheap NFL coffee mugs and blankets and other trinkets are made?
