Why cant I sleep on my side after getting my covid vaccine? I just got the shot and I’ve been overstimulated from not being able to sleep, my arm is very sore and it hurts so much to move and I just want to sleep but it hurts if I lay on either side

I am sure that someone, who has a political axe to grind, would say “Why didn’t they have extingency plans??? See! See! See! They and their leaders are incompetent and vote for the other guy!!!”.

If you see your representative or Senator on this list and you are subject to Helene or Milton, know that they don’t give a crap about you. They care more about their power and subservience to their Most Exalted Grand PooBah and identifying and destroying people and things that are “woke” than they are to their fellow Americans that have been laid low by a storm that had never happened before. That $20 billion could have been put to use in projecting and gaming the response and, among the weather games would be what to do if another devastating storm follows right on its tails.

While we really can’t do anything to stop or redirect storms (despite what Marjorie Taylor Greene spews), we can hold accountable the members of Congress who put their agenda ahead of the physical safety of their fellow Americans.

Representative John Rose of Tennessee

Senator Mike Braun of Indiana

I know it doesn’t seem like a big distance but when you see power truck convoys a mile or so long, followed with the necessary support equipment and personnel, you realize this is something heavily planned.

I lived in NC for over 25 years. In all my time there, I saw more than my share of storms. The vast majority of them came up from the south and either skirted along the coast or bent inland and then run into the northern states. By the time they got to central NC, the storms were mostly petered out or, the swung back out to sea. In the past, Helene would have tracked like the black arrow I have crudely drew

Now, with Helene cut into a new area and at the same time severed the 2 major highway (Yellow Circle) capable of handling all the trucks and traffic:

Representative John Curtis of Utah

Representative Bob Good of Virginia

Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina

Representative Mike Collins of Georgia

Representative Randy Feenstra of Iowa

You now need to figure out how you are going to turn them around, ship them a couple hundred miles and hope that you can find and secure the necessary staging grounds. The contacts they used to have built up over 4, 5, 6, 10 storm seasons are no longer useful so they need to find new ones.

Representative David Schweikert of Arizona

Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama

Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin

Representative Matt Rosendale of Montana

Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida

If you look back in history, you will see that storms usually hit in the same general area and follow the same general path. So the plans to respond, assemble, stage and deploy were all built around history.

Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee

Senator Mike Crapo of Idaho

Representative Eli Crane of Arizona

Representative Beth Van Duyne of Texas

Senator Mike Lee of Utah

Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee

Representative Gary Palmer of Alabama

Senator James Risch of Idaho

SO you are now the Disaster God. You know a storm is coming so you activate your assets and move them to their staging areas. You know the storm might change a bit but not as big a shift that has happened.

Representative Barry Moore of Alabama

Representative Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma

To get from TN into NC (or vice versa) you are forced onto the yellow route

Representative Andrew Clyde of Georgia

Part of the problem you point out to the agitator is the recent battle in Congress that threatened to derail the necessary $20 billion FEMA funding. This funding should’ve been resolved months ago in preparation of the new fiscal year. But rather than do that, these politicians (if I could make my written words to drip with more sarcasm I would do it) decided that because FEMA would be wiped out under Project 2025. While the bill eventually passed, the following people voted against the bill:

Representative Russell Fry of South Carolina

Representative Dan Bishop of North Carolina

Representative Morgan Lutrell of Texas

Representative Greg Lopez of Colorado

Senator Pete Ricketts of Nebraska

Representative William Timmons of South Carolina

Representative Clay Higgins of Louisiana

Representative Mary Miller of Illinois

Representative Alex Mooney of West Virginia
