Trying to prove MAGAT wrong on FEMA alert today.

Three inlaws who all got their phones near Houston, got the message in Spanish. One is a MAGAT and went into all kinds of BS about the government and FEMA.

For the analytical types... FEMA stated that the language of the alert was based on phone settings - language. Easy to find on my android. MAGAT sent screen shot of phone setting - English only language listed.

Wondering if there's a deeper language setting ? Installed by phone company?

Read somewhere else that alert sent in the official language of municipality it was purchased in. ?? Contrary to what FEMA said.

Just know there's a logical individual explanation . Otherwise problem would be rampant.

Geez supply chain really screwed up for appliances

In NE anyway. Anyone else experiencing this?

Thought once we had the money set aside and could pick what we wanted it would be fun to redo a kitchen in the new old house we just moved into.

Online stores lie about delivery. They promise dates that are bogus - months away from when they said. Going to a big box store just as bad. Was told it would be at least a month for the dishwasher I want. And online ratings make things worse cuz everyone wants the best products. Even if an appliance is made in US - they depend on parts from abroad.

And it snowballs cuz you have to line up plumbers and electricians. As it stands now we'll have a counter cut out for a stovetop we might not get until November.

Funniest thing Obama ever said

"Has anybody bought that wine? I want to know what that wine tastes like," a laughing Obama said at a Democratic Party fundraiser Saturday at Gilley's in Dallas. "I mean, come on. You know that's like some $5 wine. They slap a label on it. They charge you $50 and say it's the greatest wine ever."

I thought of this Obama moment since looking at a place to stay in VA..and place popped up that said it was the trump winery??? Thought long defunct.

New NY Filing - Trump overstated assets by up to 3.5 B per year

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/08/trump-overstated-net-worth-by-up-to-3point6-billion-per-year-ny-ag-alleges-in-new-filing.html


Former President Donald Trump’s net worth was inflated by billions of dollars more than what the New York attorney general’s office recently believed to be the case, the AG said in a new court filing Friday.

Citing an analysis by valuation and accounting experts and taking into account other adjustments, the AG alleged that Trump’s net worth in any given year between 2011 and 2021 was overstated by $1.9 billion to $3.6 billion.

That is “still a conservative estimate,” New York Attorney General Letitia James alleged in the filing, because those valuation experts still accepted many of the assumptions used by the defendants in their annual financial statements.

James made the new claims in a filing opposing Trump’s request for a summary judgment in his favor in the AG’s sweeping civil fraud lawsuit against the former president, his adult sons and his businesses.

Per AP/NORC poll a whopping 77% think Biden too old to be President

Say poll bogus. Say too soon. Say too Republican, whatever.

But more productive would be how you reduce 77% !!!!!!
