Yikes

What a mess. I am fine but the road is like a river. Power, was out from 12pm Wednesday until 4pm Thursday. Water has been down since noon Wednesday. Cell phone service has been spotty. The Internet just came up.
I will be post a new edition ASAP.

This is the MegaSuper Shopping Center in Villarreal.

This is the road close to my house.

It is still raining!! I am amazed how fast the power and Internet came back on.

Pura vida.

New Reality Show: Trump's Bloopers

Republicans delay gun silencer bill as Trump visits Puerto Rico - Live Updates
San Juan mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz has responded to Donald Trump’s remarks that Puerto Rico’s recovery has “thrown our budget a little out of whack,” and his suggestion that the island has not suffered “a real catastrophe like Katrina.”
“I would hope that the president of the United States stops spouting out comments that are hurtful to the people of Puerto Rico,” Cruz told CNN. “It doesn’t make you feel good.”

Donald Trump shook hands w/ San Juan Mayor who told him "it's not about politics" Trump didn't answer then pointedly ignored her. - Andrea Mitchell, NBC

"They should be praying for God to forgive them for letting the gun lobby run this country." - Jimmy Kimmel

Another Hurricane?
A broad area of low pressure over the southwestern Caribbean Sea has a 40 percent chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next two days, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Tuesday.

Perhaps God's answer to all the gun-violence prayers is: "I gave you brains and common sense for a reason. Use them." - Rex Huppke

GOP considering allowing plastique guns.

Blast From The Past: 1988 Ban On Plastic Gun Ban
The House today passed, 413 to 4, a bill that would ban the manufacture, sale or possession of any plastic firearm that could evade detection by X-ray machines or metal detectors...Voting against the House measure were Dick Cheney of Wyoming, Philip M. Crane of Illinois, Norman D. Shumway of California and Barbara F. Vucanovich of Nevada, all Republicans.

The price of freedom isn't mass shootings. It's having to live alongside Pat Robertson & Bill O' Reilly. And Dick Cheney walks the earth... -Elayne Boosler

We must show respect to the gun's feelings.

Democrat Blasts GOP For Not Talking About Gun Violence
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) on Tuesday went after Republicans for refusing to debate gun reform, suggesting they are simply pawns of the gun lobby.
“It is incomprehensible that the president or others would say, ‘This is not the time to debate this,’” Hoyer told reporters during a news briefing.
“Is there ever a time to debate this, or are we so cowed by the [National Rifle Association] that we can’t even talk about this issue and figure out how we can make America safer?”

I don't remember after 9/11 a huge outcry about holding off on discussing how to fix airport security. - Schooley Tweet

A dark day. A dark month. A dark year.

'And Then, The Screaming Started': Scenes From A Nightmare In Las Vegas
At first, it just sounded like fireworks.
The Sunday headliner, Jason Aldean, had taken the stage not 30 minutes before, and it seemed natural that on the final night of Las Vegas' three-day Route 91 Harvest music festival there would be some pyrotechnics. Even Aldean stayed on stage as the first loud bursts rang out above the crowd of some 22,000 people.

I am fearful of copycats.

In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over. - Dan Hodges

Whew. I'm Glad The USA Hasn't Gone Full Nazi.
A majority of Americans say that the protests by NFL players during the national anthem are appropriate, according to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll published on Monday.

Per WH press pool, as Trump dedicated a golf trophy to hurricane hit areas, someone yelled "You don't give a sh*t about Puerto Rico!" - Eric Schmeltzer

Unless your THOUGHTS are about gun control or your PRAYERS are that we legislate sane gun control, they’re worthless today. - John Leguizamo‏

Geraldo Rivera Doesn't Think People Are Dying In Puerto Rico
...“But are people dying?” Rivera interrupted. “I’ve been traveling around, I don’t see people dying. I spoke to the doctors, they say they saw 53 patients and they had a person who was septic, but nobody dying.”
“Dying is a continuum,” Cruz was forced to explain. “If you don’t get fed for seven, eight days and you’re a child, you are dying. If you have 11 people — like we took out of a nursing home — severely dehydrated, you are dying.”

I want gun control. I want Puerto Rico to have what it needs. I want children to have health insurance. I want something better than this. - Clint Smith

ABC Host Chokes Up
Monday massacre in Las Vegas that left more than 50 dead and over 400 injured caused ABC host Robin Roberts to choke up during a live broadcast.
On an extended edition of Good Morning America, Roberts and co-host George Stephanopoulos spoke to a mother who narrowly escaped death in the shooting.
The woman explained that she saw men die as they effectively became human shields for their loved ones.

Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock was NOT a “lone wolf”, he was NOT “mentally ill”, he was a TERRORIST. End white privilege today. - David Letterman

Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd made this sculpture after his friend, the singer and peace activist John Lennon, was shot dead in 1980. Yoko Ono asked him to commemorate Lennon.
It was placed outside the United Nations headquarters in New York and Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary General and Nobel Peace Laureate, said:
“The sculpture Non-Violence has not only endowed the United Nations with a cherished work of art; it has enriched the consciousness of humanity with a powerful symbol that encapsulates, in a few simple curves, the greatest prayer of man; that which asks not for victory, but for peace.”

On A Much Needed Lighter Note
Prince Harry and Barack Obama looked like the oldest friends in the world - just look at their mirroring body language and the size of Obama's smile - as they sat next to each other at the Invictus Games over the weekend.
And apparently the former US President even grilled Harry about his Suits star girlfriend, Meghan Markle, once they had stopped sharing jokes, of course.

Russia and the United States, with all that’s happening between us right now, have announced an agreement to team up to build a space station on the moon. Although I should say the Russians are calling it a space station; for some reason the White House keeps referring to it as a golf resort/casino. - Jimmy Kimmel
