    She is not being pushed. She strongly cares about America and sees how bad the Democratic party is.

    She is a free spirit and a strong well spoken person who does not let anyone push her around.

    There will always be another storm.

    The Democrats are sad for thinking we live in a dictatorship.

    That is ridiculous. Is that what all the RW fake news is telling you all to say?

    Almost all sources of power failed. The blame is squarely in the people of Tx for not building supply systems to withstand big weather events.

    This happened in Tx in 1989, 2011, 2021.

    Why don't cold climate places wind power fail? Because they plan.

    Wind turbines and power plants are both capable of operating in cold temperatures. There are wind farms in Minnesota and Iowa, after all. But running energy facilities in icy conditions often requires weathering treatments. That’s an extra cost, and something power suppliers in Texas probably didn’t anticipate needing with the region’s normally mild winters.

    And the counties in Texas that decided to upgrade their turbines aren't having many power issues. I think it's more convenient for the RW to blame green energy when in fact it was the free market that failed them.

    Its all about plan choices. I’m on a fixed rate plan that’s about 7.5¢ kWh. Mine doesn’t spike like that, but I’m sure my bill will be more expensive because the heater rarely shut off and we didn’t lose power during the worst of it, so I used more. I won’t be hit with a bill like that though.

    We have many providers with different plans. They picked a bad plan.

    Ok I guess a knockoff of "it's not Rocket science " can be a substitute.

    Which is why this is the 3rd time in the last 32 years they've had this type of big failure.
    They don't want to pay the extra money to make a reliable system.
    I don't expect them to change it now.
    As Perry said, Texans would rather go without power than rely on the gov't. Federal.

    Yeah, it's a joke based on "it's not rocket science" and "it's not brain surgery." Hence, "it's not rocket surgery."

    Everyone will be facing high electric bills, I don't expect anyone else to pay mine.
    As for broken pipes, easy fix and damage should be covered with insurance claims.

    Raise money for what? Some broken pipes? That's what insurance is for. I asked that question and this is your response. Looks like you are expecting Trump to give money to people. Why not Obama? Why not Bush? Why not......

    Your hate is taking over your mind.

    I remember hearing about Candace when she was building software to dox people. She was red-pilled after that and dropped it, but it set my perception of her off at a bad start. If she is serious, I will have to listen to her show and see if she is someone I can support.

    I'm sure Bush and Obama and Carter will help raise funds for the storm victims - they helped raise over $40 million for hurricane victims
    on the Texas coast. Donald? Not so much. He doesn't do the raising funds for anyone thing.

    Power is on now, calm down.
    This was not a major hurricane, not even close.

    She used to be a Democrat and attacked Trump. I started following her after her "Red Pill Black Woman" videos on YouTube and she has since become one of Trumps biggest supporters and leads Blexit, the movement to get blacks back to the Republican Party.

    I have seen her many tweets and posts and she is a very intelligent woman who is very serious about running as president.

    The first video of hers I watched was amazing. She was angry that the Democrats were screaming Russian collusion and was like "Do they really expect us to believe this sh*t?"

    I still have yet to meet a single person who voted for Trump because Russia somehow influenced them to do so.

    I am 100% sure she will run and very few Republican politicians will want to stand in her way.

    She is such a threat to the Democrats that AOC has blocked and attacked her, Chelsea Clinton publicly attacked her on twitter and the media and Ted Lieu lied and said she called Hitler great. She never said such a thing.

    They are scared of her.

    The sort of place that trains lawyers on how to deny coverage to those in need.
    I think that state invented the "pre existing condition" loop hole so many insurance companies enjoyed over the years.

    Its safe to assume plenty of people will find they will only be receiving a refund of their premiums paid, instead of any real coverage.

    Thats perhaps where most of the aid will go to.

    The power shortage was due to maintenance being done on power systems prior to the summer energy requirements

    Bad planning was the culprit ............. windmills and solar are only 9 % of Texas power sources

    Expansion of infrastructure is needed .......... not Lame deflection
