Preparing For The Incompetence of the Feds

I’ve been hearing a lot about how much better the federal response to the wildfires has been compared to Hurricane Katrina. Yes, it would appear FEMA and the administration got it right for once, but perhaps we shouldn’t be patting the President and his men on his back just yet.
There are big differences between the [...]

Likufanele

I either thought of or thought that I thought of at least three brilliant things with which to amaze you this week. And I could just sit here and tell you random boring things about me, but most of it wouldn’t make sense to you since I can’t even keep my own life straight lately.
