Trump attacks San Juan mayor over hurricane response President tweeted from his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he is spending the weekend. "... Such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help. They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort." http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/30/politics/trump-tweets-puerto-rico-mayor/index.html The people are standing in lines incredible hours for ATM , food and water for their families and elderly relatives to just survive. There will be a mass migration to U.S. when it is possible for them .

If they have to put supplies into cargo nets for copters to ferry that's at least something till roads , drivers , trucks and fuel are ready. This is how they did it in Nam and supplied the destroyer I was on from a supply ship.

Theory on Cuban diplomats illnesses
ALF replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The U.S. has stopped issuing visas in Cuba indefinitely, while halting official delegation travel and taking several other steps in response to attacks on U.S. personnel, the Associated Press reported Friday. The AP reported the U.S. is also warning Americans against visiting Cuba and ordering more than half of U.S. personnel to leave the island. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/09/29/us-stops-issuing-visas-in-cuba-cuts-embassy-staff-urges-no-travel-to-island.html -
The budget sequestration in 2013 refers to the automatic spending cuts to United States federal government spending in particular categories of outlays that were initially set to begin on January 1, 2013, as an austerity fiscal policy as a result of Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA), and were postponed by two months by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 until March 1 when this law went into effect. The reductions in spending authority were approximately $85.4 billion (versus $42 billion in actual cash outlays during fiscal year 2013, with similar cuts for years 2014 until 2021. Medicare spending rates were reduced by a fixed 2% per year versus the other, domestic percents planned for the sequester The sequester lowers spending by a total of approximately $1.1 trillion versus pre-sequester levels over the approximately 8-year period from 2013 to 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_budget_sequestration_in_2013 The next budget will be very interesting with increased defense spending , tax cuts , hurricane aid , infrastructure , the wall Fiscal year 2018 starts Oct 1 , also starts 60 votes in Senate needed ?

Vital Aid Stranded at Puerto Rico’s Main Port, Unable to Move Due to Ravaged Infrastructure A mountain of food, water and other vital supplies has arrived in Puerto Rico’s main Port of San Juan. But a shortage of truckers and the island’s devastated infrastructure are making it tough to move aid to where it’s needed most. Only 20% of truck drivers have reported back to work since Hurricane Maria swept through, according to a spokesperson for Puerto Rico’s Gov. Ricardo Rosselló. On top of that, a diesel fuel shortage and a tangle of blocked roads mean the distribution of supplies is extremely challenging. Even contacting drivers is a problem because cell towers are still down. http://ktla.com/2017/09/27/vital-aid-stranded-at-puerto-ricos-main-port-unable-to-move-due-to-ravaged-infrastructure/

WEEK 3 VS. DEN ALL 22- OLINE/QB UNFORCED ERROR REVIEW
ALF replied to Bocephuz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Amazing job you do Bocephuz , thanks a lot. Hope Henderson can do better at RT for game 6 , not sure how he will do in this new scheme The first game this season where he’ll be eligible to play is a week 7 match-up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bills will be coming off their bye week prior to that game. Henderson says that he’ll be with the team for the duration of his suspension. He will attend meetings and continue working out in order to maintain the momentum he’s gained with a strong training camp. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2017/8/8/16110862/buffalo-bills-training-camp-seantrel-henderson-plan-suspension-jordan-mills-dion-dawkins -

Illegal immigration costing record $135 billion a year, study shows The swelling population of illegal immigrants and their kids is costing American taxpayers $135 billion a year, the highest ever, driven by free medical care, education and a huge law enforcement bill, according to the the most authoritative report on the issue yet. And despite claims from pro-illegal immigration advocates that the aliens pay significant off-setting taxes back to federal, state and local treasuries, the Federation for American Immigration Reform report tallied just $19 billion, making the final hit to taxpayers about $116 billion. State and local governments are getting ravaged by the costs, at over $88 billion. The federal government, by comparison, is getting off easy at $45 billion in costs for illegals. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/09/27/illegal-immigration-costing-record-135-billion-year-study-shows.html I don't know how they could come up with that amount -

I was driving listening to the pregame GR 550 , listened to national anthem , very nice girl singing and playing piano mid field. I wish this would just stop , please , please. Trump just made it a lot worse when just a few protested . -

I read the full article. The U.S. response is massive , I'm not critical of Trump and Congress on hurricane aid. Puerto Rico is a very dire situation off the charts bad imo
