Life for Looters?

I heard someone saying in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, looters should be given life sentences. I think if they live to enter a prison, they are getting off light.

Harvey Lashes Louisiana

With Texas still reeling, Louisiana is now being hit by Harvey. There at least, after having to contend with Katina, the authorities should have plenty of experience in protecting human life from such a storm.

The Hidden Danger

Most people probably have never heard of an electromagnetic pulse weapon. North Korea moves closer every day to producing a weapon that could take out America's power grid and virtually all the technology that now runs everything in a single strike. If North Korea successfully launches such an attack on the United States, hundreds of millions could die. While I never want to see war, I would rather have Pyongyang obliterated in a massive preemptive first strike than have my country destroyed.

Houston Washed Away

People have died in the flooding in Texas. There have been billions of dollars in damage. I have never heard of a city sustaining fifty inches of rain in a few days. It really seems to be a Biblical cataclysm. Texans need our support and our prayers.

Slow Motion Disaster

In Hurricane Harvey, like Hurricane Katrina, just because the winds died down, the danger is not over. Texas needs our help and prayers now more than ever.

Recovering from Harvey

There is certainly damage in the billions from the hurricane. Many want to help, but I caution there are many who would take advantage of our generosity to line their own pockets. When you give, please give only to reputable charities. The money you give will go to those in need, rather than scammers who only want to help themselves.

Hurricane from Hell

I was aghast back in 1980 when Mount St. Helens erupted that people ignored evacuation orders at the cost of their own lives. More recently,I recall many of those who ignored evacuation orders during Hurricane Katrina wound up dead. Let us hope Texans realized how dangerous Hurricane Harvey could be and got out safely.
