    Seems like a good spot to drop this…


    Received in the mail this week. caliqueen heads a cultural group locally. This was addressed to her, at our  home address (edited out). 

    For some reason, this brave savior didn’t mail it with a return address.

    No real words for this.  I am very sorry you are dealing with this type of thing in 2024.  It makes me incredibly sad.  I was spitting mad at first, but now just sad.  Amazed that hate like this still lives on.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    @caliking - Reading that makes feel just sick.  Spent the evening with friends having food and drinks, now kicking back on the patio with more drinks.  This is a total buzzkill.
    I am truly sorry your family is being subjected to this hatefulness.

    @caliking does your wife’s organization accept donations?

    Also it is written like the world’s worst poem.  Spelling, punctuation, just the overall structure seems like a 5th grade attempt.  Feel almost bad for the prick who is so stupid and so consumed by hate.  What an awful miserable way to live.

    The community is lucky to have your wife participating.

     I appreciate the enquiry about donations. The point of my post was to highlight where the OP's line of thinking ends up. 

    caliqueen spearheaded celebrating Durga Puja ( a very quintessential Bengali festival/celebration that is more about Bengali culture, than religion) a few years ago in our area. Several hundred people attend, and we work our arses off each year. It's actually on this weekend, so we're busy.

    Ironic that we got this in the mail this week, and I happened to check in and see this thread. Morons gonna moron, but this is apparently where America is now.

    If you think I don’t know what NATO is and that I support Putin my words are either wasted on you or you want to fling mud because you’re being lazy. I would like to exit this conversation after reading @caliking post this thread needs to be directed towards supporting a forum family member.

    Putin did this.  Should we sit back and let him take over Ukraine?  Then Poland and Finland and every other country boarding them?

    I am pro-kicking ass and taking names when the other guy starts it.  You keep kicking till they stop getting back up.

    I hate war and all that it entails.
    I am not sure but I think we are partially responsible for Putin attacking Ukraine because of nato expansion.

    This is all pretty effing far from OK.  I can’t imagine how you and caliqueen feel after getting something like that.  So hateful.  I’m so sorry you received it, but also that we’ve gotten to the point in this country where some aholes feel that’s the right thing to do.  

    Thank you for sharing it though.  The rest of us, your friends and the people who love you guys, need to know this kind of **** is going on.

    @caliking - As has been said, to be here in this country in 2024, what have we become?  I cannot fathom how you feel.  
    Sick and very saddened about this.  
    Unfortunately I don't see an endpoint and that is very discouraging.

    @caliking the dislike was from me. So sad to read that. I can’t even begin to imagine how that made you guys feel. As others have said, so sad to see we have dumb*fucks with that much hatred in our country today. My apologies.

    @caliking I cannot pretend to imagine what emotions this brings.

    To that, I say ignorance and hostility will always be..

    Cali that is awful.  the event sounds great and important for everyone.  hope the police are aware of the threat and there is some investigative effort.  this type of ignorance will always rear its ugly head and the work to eradicate it is extremely valuable to America. thanks for being you and keep it up!

    This is disgusting. Sadly we have seen similar language on here from one or our esteemed (but now thankfully dormant) members. We love you, brother, and we love Caliqueen and Caliprince too. You guys are my people.

    Turns out that NATO expansion is used by Putin to justify his invasion, but his own desire to expand and reduce the ability of NATO to be effective are the real reasons. Anything that hurts the U.S. and other Western nations are side benefits for him.
    I would not be surprised if Russia talked Iran into instigating the October 7 attack on Israel that led to the Middle East wars, as an effort to distract the U.S. and cause us to send more arms there, reducing the military aid available to Ukraine.

    Sad. That's next level racism and bigotry. @caliking be alert and stay safe.

    As @Buckwoody Egger said, I wonder if the police can/will look into this, perhaps try a finger print search for starters.  But again, that's probably not a good idea, since the sicko knows where you live.

    I apologize if I misunderstood.  You did say, “ we are partially responsible for Putin attacking Ukraine because of nato expansion.” Which lead me to conclude you thought Putin was justified and you thought NATO was to blame.

    I have some acquaintances who say the same exact things and they are avidly and openly pro-Putin (after this they became ex-acquaintances).  Since you share their talking points I lumped you in with them.  Which honestly surprised me, because based on our interactions over the years you seem like a pretty level headed dude who is informed.

    I hate this for you and your family, Ashish. And in Houston, recognized as the most culturally diverse large city in the US.

    It's a few, trying to ruin it for the many because their lives haven't worked out the way they wanted and they can't stomach looking into the mirror. Or they cling to some romantic vision of the past as told by their openly racist ancestors (all descended from immigrants) who make bizarre claims to America as their country and culture - while conveniently ignoring the history of native Americans, immigration and their own families' history of immigration.

    This has never gone away, but the deliberate and open fanning of these flames over the past decade and a half have turned it into the manipulative lever being weaponized for gain. Every time we make an excuse for someone or hear comments and just let it slide, we're allowing these types of things to happen.

    Be well and keep your family close. I can't imagine how this feels, I can't imagine how to navigate raising a child with this and I most certainly cannot walk in your shoes. You treat and care for and cure children, anyone's children and you and Caliqueen are pillars of all of your communities in Houston.

    For someone to try to reduce that to skin color or recentness of immigration or religion or whatever is disgusting.

    We're with you, Brother.

    To the original topic and again the misinformation and rumors getting traction.  NC will need continued federal support into and most of next year. Vote thoughtfully, who would play games with federal support or make it conditional and who just provides it because it is needed, regardless of who needs it.

    I suspect more support than people even imagine.  Current damage estimates range from $15B-$26B ….. insurance payouts are estimated to only cover $5B-$15B.  This is due to carveouts and caveats in the fine print.  So we potentially have an entire region with $21B in uncovered damage.  I would also consider who will reign in the insurance companies.  An example of a caveat is, “Wind Driven Rain”.  Then you get into the falling water vs. rising water debate.  Best bet would be to have your electric car catch fire and burn your house down.  Although there is probably an exclusion for that too.

    Watching Windy.com forecast for my location. Second time in a week for me. Will start feeling the effects of Hurricane Milton Wednesday about 9:00 am. The eye will pass just north of our location Thursday at about 10:00 am.The back wall of the storm will pass thru at 10:00 thru 7:00 pm and be gone by Friday at 11:00 pm to 7:00 am. It is going to be a huge, slow moving storm with highest predicted wind gusts of 49 mph for my location.
