"Free" Starlink service for hurricane survivors costs $349 up front

By Gail Sherman Thu Oct 10, 2024

https://boingboing.net/2024/10/10/free-starlink-service-for-hurricane-survivors-costs-349-up-front.html

 

“After the widespread connectivity issues in areas devastated by Hurricane Helene, Elon Musk announced that SpaceX would provide free Starlink access to affected areas. SpaceX is crediting thirty days of free access to people who already own Starlink hardware. That's great, but for anyone who doesn't already own a Starlink kit, it will cost $349 to access the free service.

The fine print on the Starlink site reads:

For those in areas affected by Hurricane Helene, Starlink is available and temporarily offering free service for the first month.
Please note: A Starlink kit is required to access this free service. If you do not already have a Starlink kit, you will need to purchase one from starlink.com/residential or an authorized retailer such as Best Buy or Home Depot.”

 

 

Such a deal I have for you.

Steve,

     Some witty person has pointed out that the definitive proof that Democrats don't control the weather is the fact that Marjorie Taylor Greene hasn't been struck by lightning.

     Personally, I would include Lauren Boebert and Donald Trump in that equation.

Operation Aurora?  YGBFKM...

I think I mentioned recently that I grew up about a mile from the roach-infested apartment building in Aurora Colorado, where a few Venezuelan refugee residents were recently accused of belonging to a gang.

That neighborhood (12th & Beeler St., for Bill Fite) has been chronically impoverished-- with local pawnshops, payday loan sharks, topless bars, low-rent druggie motels, and prostitutes (on East Colfax Avenue.)

Trump is claiming that he will save Colorado from an illegal immigrant crime wave.

But crime is down here in recent years.

And we would be in deep doo doo in Colorado without our hard-working Mexican people.

Trump is talking out of his ass, as always.

Trump to Brand Deportation Push ‘Operation Aurora’

October 11, 2024 at 3:50 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 

“Donald Trump will reiterate plans to use an immigration law from 1798 to target members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua for deportation at an event Friday in Aurora, Colorado,” Bloomberg reports.

“Trump has made Aurora a centerpiece of his efforts to highlight the border and immigration after surveillance video showed heavily armed men in the town forcing their way into an apartment at a complex on the edge of the city.”

NPR: Trump is rallying in Aurora — a city he has demonized as overrun by migrant crime.

On October 11, 2024, Donald Trump announced that upon taking office, he will invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

According to The Brennan Center for Justice,

"The Alien Enemies Act discriminates against immigrants based on their country of citizenship and, more broadly, based on their ancestry."

This was the law that we used to intern Japanese citizens in WWII.

 

Willamette University historian Seth Cotlar posted to his Bluesky account. "The Alien & Sedition Acts of 1798 also authorized the gov't to lock up journalists, so that's on brand too."The law would allow Trump to target journalists. According to the National Archives, the law Trump invoked would make it a crime to "write, print, utter or publish" anything "false, scandalous and malicious writing or writings against the government of the United States." And any violations could be punished with a fine of $2,000 and a prison sentence of up to two years.

So evil': Pro-Trump TV host calls immigrants 'satanic' and 'involved in human sacrifice'

By Carl Gibson, October 12, 2024

https://www.rawstory.com/so-evil-pro-trump-thost-says-immigrants-are-satanic-and-involved-in-human-sacrifice/

Prior to the rally in Aurora, Colorado, host Bobby McNeily of the Right Side Broadcasting Network — an openly pro-Trump outlet — prepped audiences by insisting that immigrants in Aurora were primarily affiliated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TDA), calling them "so evil."

He went on to baselessly conflate the gang members with other Aurora migrants, suggesting they were pedophiles and even that they were participants in occult practices.

These people, they are are so evil. They are not your run of the mill criminal. They are people that are satanic. They are involved in human sacrifice," he said. "They are raping men, women, and children — especially underaged children.””

 

Well, what should I do today? There's not much going on. Think I'll just go whip up a mob. Go down to the Home Depot and pick up a bunch of torches and pitchforks.

Kamala releases her medical records that show she is in excellent health. Why isn't Trump, the adult diaper wearing former president, releasing his?
