I refused to be richwicks' Google bitch when there was nothing stopping him from looking it up if it were so damn important to him. Same logic here.

I never agreed with rich wicks as it alway went back to the same talking points, I Iraq and WMD being one. I'm just saying I scroll past every meme/screenshot on the site posted unless it's an obvious original or photos. Onvacation does it with his sailboat which I like. I just like reading original content. Also searchable. Memes aren't which I think is part of my point.

I only bring it up because I think a lot of others are like me. I'll watch videos, but a picture with words on with recycled images that have been used thousands if not millions of times is not funny or crafty. The classic is the guy walking with his girl and looking back. Immediately scroll past that. The angry woman and the cat. It's not funny or intelligent.

Why doesn’t it make sense? They owe the lender. It’s between the homeowner and their insurance company. But, if the lender knew insurance lapsed or ended, they should have called the loan.

30% of the area will move out to a different state and default. It's not a big deal if you protected your assets. As long as I'm up to date with IRS I could stop paying on everything tomorrow. My home and retirement funds are all protected. If I pay on my house no one can touch it.

You'll get a bunch of bull shit calls from people that paid your debt off and try to scare you, collectors. Don't sign for any certified mail EVER, even if you are up to date on everything. They can send a regular letter. Answer with hello, never say yes or your name on a phone call.

I don't even answer the phone from people I know half the time. I have no clue what techniques they have now where they can manipulate phone numbers that are in your contacts. I've gotten most my buddies to call with "what's up t-bone" or "Toe-mas" (phonetically). That way I know you're real.

Never get into debt and bail, but there are a lot of strategies unless you run a business where you need to answer the phone. That's where they got you by the balls.

I'll give a thumbs up to this...big time.

I’ve been working on moving primary contact points for people I love to Signal.
Much more secure communication, harder to spoof by far, and there’s no spam there or robo calls.
Plus the picture and video sharing is top quality, and avoids differences in carriers and phone models through the app.

Right. But the whole thing is about paying on the house (or what's left of it). If they stop paying the lender they will be foreclosed.

I love the memes. Keep them coming. However, if meme-posters would also type in the text of the meme in the same post then we could search and also refer to the meme without having to re-post the entire graphic. (Yeah, I know, typing is hard! /sark)

If Patrick is looking for an extra engineering project, maybe any pictures with text could be run through AI for the text extraction and that text automatically posted alongside the picture.

I think the LA fires are going to have the same rebuilding problems as the Napa area fires a few years back, but the problems will be amplified massively.
• There will not be enough competent builders to rebuild
• There will not be enough building material
• Government regulation (permits) — already expensive and as slow as molasses — will be more overwhelmed than ever.
• People are uninsured or underinsured and won't be able to afford to rebuild; this will be compounded by not being able to get the affordable "home loan" and instead need a "construction loan" at a higher rate.
• Many people living in the Napa area were rich retired folks and could afford the $$$ hit. I'm guessing many people hit by the various fires in the south don't have the spare capital even if they are trying to rebuild only a modest house.

Everyone needs to read up on the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). @Wookie is right - in fact, the best thing to happen to your debts is for the original creditor to sell it to a debt collector. This is what triggers the FDCPA protections. Once this happens, follow the law - demand validation, insist on no phone contact during business hours to trigger Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) protections, and let them pound sand.

Watch out for court summons - you have to go to these, but it you're prepared and ask the scumbag debt collector for the original contract to prove that they own the debt, 99% of the time, they won't have it. Then it's just "Motion to dismiss Your Honor, with prejudice, per section x.y.z of the FDCPA "

After an overlong day, with travel from DC to North Carolina to Las Vegas, Trump somehow still summoned a flex of astonishing political jiu jitsu. The President sparred with California officials in a live press conference —surely Trump’s idea— but only after meeting with locals, who begged the President for help. In the dramatic press conference, the President called each official out for their failures, from missing water, to unavailable insurance, to empty hydrants. ...

Trump’s (I’m sure it was him) insistence on a live press conference was genius. It showed Californians in real time how incompetent their leaders are. They were trapped. They didn’t want to do live TV. But, had they skipped, Trump would surely have made a big deal of it saying, “We invited them, but I guess they didn’t think it was important enough to show up.”

This Pacific Palisades resident lost his
home to fire. He hopes Trump can help
him rebuild

Trump. He hopes President Trump can help. Lest you conclude this gentleman was only an outlier, independent media yesterday reported highway overpasses decorated with American and Trump flags in LA County...

Grateful locals even erected a Hollywood-style sign for the President:




In other words, California residents have lost hope in stuttering Mayor Karen Bass and California’s oleaginous Governor Newsom. They see what he’s doing for the rest of the country. They saw how he sympathized with the victims in North Carolina. They trust him more. They want Trump.

Since Californians are viewing President Trump as their last, best hope, the President can afford to say something as bold and politically verboten as this:

President Donald Trump said he wanted California to require voter ID in order to get disaster aid for the LA wildfires.

Regardless of whether Trump follows through with conditioning federal aid this time, he has thrown down the gauntlet. California is on notice. A fight over Voter ID is coming. It’s on Fedex and out for delivery.

It would be a matter for special ops. Secret weather weapons aggression requires secret decapitation strikes. Trump isn't ready to go there yet in public, but it's no secret amongst the alternative medias that war has been declared with the techno weapons and weather weapons.

Goats Are the Answer

The best fire prevention squad is a herd of goats

For some time my brother on Maui has kept a herd of goats, which graze the vegetation on the property around his house, thereby reducing the wildfire risk. Goats will eat just about any kind of vegetation, including spiky and noxious weeds.

They are also charming and entertaining creatures, much loved by (human) kids. ...

It’s time for Los Angeles County to bring some goat herds into the area to reduce the brushy fuel loads that are such a menace to life and property when conditions are dry and windy.

While true, most aerial shots I've seen the trees and brush aren't burned. It's just bad fire prevention in a fire prone area. There's equipment for houses. I have a basement for tornados. I won't die.

I'm sound proofing a room. Using 5/8" thick cement board with insulation and air gap and then drywall with another air gap and more insulation. Concrete on the side. I'll be having a beer in that room if an F5 hits. Be prepared. You CA cats have fires all the time. A cistern, pump and nat gas backup are maybe 15-20k? I'll have all that. My house doesn't and won't start on fire.

My hood in Tri Valley hire a local goat herder to graze out the brush in the arroyo by the hood once a year with an electrified fencing to keep them from roaming away from the job site. They do an excellent job and provide stinky entertainment for several days. They come with big dog herders and protectors, too.

The herder comes with a small mobile home for his stuff, and may sleep there too.

Eureka! I hope Trump eventually ties Newscum to the hood of one his SUVs for a parade.

Boy, military intervention into California. That is incredible on the FAFO scale. Is this a foreboding extending to election fraud and beyond? I hopium so.

Pundit Juan O Savin said the conversation between Newscum and Trump on the airport tarmac where Trump crushed Newscum's knuckles and didn't let go was high tension Trump telling Newscum he was coming after him and his 15 minute cities and he was going to get to the bottom of it.

My neighbor tried this last year. There were only 24 goats and they didn't do enough to notice a difference after 3 days. To be fair I think they were still too nervous to do serious eating after being relocated from their farm. I've seen videos though that show it can be done but that was hundreds of goats.

I learned an interesting thing though - goats are the only thing that will eliminate kudzu. Their digestion is so good that their poop leaves nothing that can regrow. Literally better than round up.

I'd like to know more details about exactly what water was turned on and which emergency powers were used to do it.

As far as I know no infrastructure exist to bring water from PNW (Columbia River, I assume) to CA. No pipeline, no canal, etc.
