Nah, they are not snowflakes. But using the term over and over falls under people making jerks out of themselves. "White Supremacy" has been the favorite weasel word of the left for about 5 years now.

An avalanche of lawsuits fueled by roofing scams has plunged Florida into a property insurance crisis that has forced dozens of companies to shut their doors, drop customers, raise rates or flee the state. It’s a slow-motion collapse that lawmakers have known about for years but have failed to fix.

The scam works like this: Contractors knock on doors offering to inspect homeowners’ roofs for storm damage. They say they can help get a roof replacement covered by insurance, and they persuade the homeowners to sign away their rights to file the claims themselves. The contractors then file fraudulent damage claims, and when the insurance companies balk, the contractors sue. The insurance companies usually settle the disputed claims for many times more than the original claim. Most of that money goes to the contractors’ lawyers in the form of a “contingency fee multiplier.” Some lawyers file hundreds of such lawsuits a year.

The homeowner may get a free roof, but everyone pays for it through increased rates.


I'd wager most of the scams are on elderly home owners.

So it's front page news to watch a US Air Force plane deliver "an emergency supply" of baby formula from Europe.

Jeesh...talk about political grandstanding: Biden is letting us know he's on top of the situation, but really he'd be better off getting to the bottom of it.

If he was on top of things there would be no shortage. He is regulation happy but does not understand regs cause reaction.

Quote from The Hill today.

"For Democrats and many in the media, Hillary Clinton has long held a Voldemort-like status as “She who must not be named” in scandals. Yet, there was her former campaign manager, Robby Mook, telling a jury that Clinton personally approved a plan to spread the claim of covert communications between the Trump organization and the Russian bank. It was one of the most successful disinformation campaigns in American politics, and Mook implicated Clinton as green-lighting the gas-lighting of the electorate."

Certainly was a successful disinformation campaigns. Years later many on this board still believe that Trump was in bed with Russia.
