FEMA in Winter??

By -
I just watched Sec. of Homeland Security, Jeh Johnson, tell John Roberts it was "essential to fund FEMA during a cold winter."

Hmmm. I keep up on these things and I am not aware of anything FEMA is doing to fight the suffering caused by the cold winter. So, I googled "news" and "fema in winter." Here are the first few hits of what I got.
I did see many, "FEMA says 'stay warm in winter'" headlines father down.

As longtime readers know, I am not a fan of FEMA. If the Democrats' Senate filibuster causes them to shut down Friday, I don't think we'll be missing much.

    Wanna guess how many TSA people will be thrilled to check you as they work for no money? Amazing how Congress thinks they will.
    Enjoyed our rain yesterday and sure wish we had more of it.

Wear shoes.  If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub.  I'll update later today.
