The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Remember when FEMA did disaster relief? The Bush junta folded FEMA into DHS. Now, disaster relief funds are being diverted to "anti-terrorist" programs, because we don't have enough police state. Among other things, Trump defines anti-Christian, or anti-capitalism, thought as terrorism.

FEMA Announces $1.5 Billion to Empower Communities to Prevent Terrorism and Protect American Infrastructure

Today, FEMA made more than $1 billion available through its Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding opportunities. This program enables state, territorial, Tribal Nation and local governments to build local capacity to prevent, protect against and respond to acts of terrorism. HSGP includes three separate grant programs: the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) and Operation Stonegarden. Recipients of SHSP and UASI funding are expected to align projects along core national security priorities identified by the Secretary of Homeland Security. For FY 2026, those priorities include: improving coordination among law enforcement agencies, strengthening cybersecurity of critical infrastructure, protecting the integrity of American elections, supporting border security efforts and enhancing the protection of crowded spaces like concerts or parades. By identifying key national security priorities, DHS and FEMA ensure that every dollar spent is delivering real safety and security for all Americans.

FEMA’s New Mission: Domestic Terrorism

The bulletin, dated July 9, instructs local authorities to prioritize “domestic terrorism” in their grant applications. Titled “Implementation of National Security Presidential Memorandum-7…,” the document echoes President Trump’s emphasis on rooting out suspected domestic terrorists before an attack takes place.

To head off these attacks, the bulletin tells states what to buy: training to spot “social media-based indicators,” analysts to monitor “online behaviors and digital footprints,” and teams for “managing persons of concern whose behavior indicates a potential trajectory toward domestic terrorism.”

A couple weeks ago, I was talking about Trump the Great And Powerful being President For Life. Someone here made a comment that could be interpreted as wishing him dead. I asked if I should report him to the FBI and Secret Service. Maybe I should, lest someone working on a FEMA grant to monitor social media for "pre-crime" decides I need to be locked up, with him, for not reporting him?
