What Is Happening in the Dark Red Area on This Map Is Terrifying. You Need to Know About It

Titled article below. Top article shows dates of Disaster Proclamation signed by President Trump so as to clarify the record.

The conclusion I'm drawing from this is that conservatives think ahead as to what can take place so suggest taking measures to prepare for such. Liberals wait for something to happen then try to spin it to a fine froth regardless.

Fable of ant and grasshopper come to mind.

Trump declares a state of emergency: The president signs emergency order from Camp David after tweeting to warn Americans that Harvey is more powerful than thought

"President Donald Trump signed a disaster declaration from the official presidential retreat at Camp David in response to the Category 4 storm Hurricane Harvey.

Trump said in a tweet early this afternoon that he 'just arrived at Camp David, where I am monitoring the path and doings of Hurricane Harvey (as it strengthens to a Class 3). 125 MPH winds!'

Later in the evening, as the hurricane's damage escalated, he tweeted that he had signed a 'Disaster Proclamation'.

'At the request of the Governor of Texas, I have signed the Disaster Proclamation, which unleashes the full force of government help!' the president wrote. "

Why Wasn’t Houston Evacuated Before Hurricane Harvey?

....."On Friday, before the hurricane made landfall in Rockport and well before it flooded Houston, Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, “encouraged residents to evacuate low lying and coastal areas of the state, even if a mandatory evacuation order had not been issued,” reported The Washington Post, quoting Abbott as saying, “Even if an evacuation order hasn’t been issued by your local official, if you’re in an area between Corpus Christi and Houston, you need to strongly consider evacuating. What you don’t know, and what nobody else knows right now, is the magnitude of flooding that will be coming.”

Abbott also said, according to The Houston Chronicle, “A lot of people are going to go a long time without basic necessities. If you have the ability to evacuate and go someplace else for a little while, that would be good.”

Abbott also “offered residents options, like to relocate to inland shelters and seek out one of 200 buses being deployed to evacuate residents at the areas expected to be hardest hit,” The Chronicle reported. ......."

".....Abbott, though, deferred to local officials when it came to a mandatory evacuation order. “Although Houston has a deep history of devastating floods, Abbott said he would stop short of demanding evacuations, saying those decisions should be made by local officials there,” The Houston Chronicle reported on August 25."

Starvation: It’s a Small Price to Pay for Socialism!

".......My one quibble is the assumption that Venezuela exemplifies income equality along with socialism. In fact, relatives and friends of the Chavez/Maduro regime have made off with billions while the majority went hungry. Socialism always leads to this kind of stark inequality. As I wrote at the link:

[T]hat is what socialism is all about: great wealth and power for a handful, poverty and humiliation for the vast majority."

IT staffers may have compromised sensitive data to foreign intelligence

...."Investigators now suspect that sensitive US government data — possibly including classified information — could have been compromised and may have been sold to hostile foreign governments that could use it to blackmail members of Congress or even put their lives at risk.

“This is a massive, massive scandal,” a senior US official familiar with the widening probe told The Post....."
