Remembering the lives lost today 80 years ago, Dec 7th 1941. And all those who sacrificed so much in defense of freedom from tyranny. Grateful for our nation’s Greatest Generation - our WWII Veteran’s. We are all forever in your debt.

Today marks the 80th Anniversary of the tragic attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec 7th, 1941, a day that will live on in infamy. We will never forget the 2,403 service members and civilians who died that day, and our United States of America Greatest Generation who rose in response.

@zachdespart .@zachdespart This observation is stunning to hear “out loud.” Nonprofit Residents Against Flooding has evidence of activities that cause & worsen flooding yet authorities look other way, even at state & federal level. They ignore what is happening at great expense to public.

One of the most infuriating things about being an investigative reporter in Texas is you uncover a problem & offer viable solutions— and sometimes the gov’t decides to ignore them & hide the records that made the reporting possible. The “no body, no murder” approach to governing.

“They created a housing development corporation and sold the air rights over their church. Then they worked out a deal with Arlington County to help finance a 10 story structure that has 60 percent of its units available to people who earn less than the average median income.”

That would obligate them to offer a solution to the local problem they either caused or exacerbated. That would be awkward. #ElectionsHaveConsequences
Andy Kahan@akahancrimesto1

So far in 2021 a total of 564 Homicide Victims in Harris County. That represents an 80% percent increase since 2019: Wondering if some of our local elected officials who offer perspectives on crimes being committed nationally but never locally will for once enlighten us-C’mon!

Houston is made more vulnerable to flooding by county/city officials disregarding evidence of flood map tampering that allows development in floodways. Guess fear of exposure as being fooled into permitting such projects outweighs ruining lives & property. @HoustonRAF

Nearly a quarter of the nation’s road miles are at risk of becoming impassable during a flood, according to a groundbreaking new study that documents the surprising vulnerability of key U.S. facilities such as roads, hospitals & power plants to flooding. nytv.to/VBxRa
