  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Fema’s acting chief reportedly could not be reached during deadly Texas floods

[Since Noem had to approve things, somebody had to put it on her desk.]

As such, Richardson needed to quickly submit requests for assistance to Noem, but instead, “nobody could get a hold of him for hours and hours,” a senior official who coordinated search-and-rescue resources told the Post, which spoke with eight current and former officials who said they could not reach Richardson after the floods.

Acting FEMA Administrator David Richardson resigns: Sources

Richardson was installed after his predecessor was fired by DHS Secretary Noem.

With all the budget cuts to FEMA, and people laid off, since Trump became president. I think FEMA will go away . That's why you don't hired business person, that had multiple business bankruptcies. It's also the reason, that there's laws. So, business and developers are forced to have safer building's and business. Because shady business people, will get rid of safety regulations, so they can save a dollar. Instead of caring for people safety, health or food .
