For most of the world, the tragedy in West, Texas that began with the explosion of the fertilizer plant, ended with a remarkable outpouring of support from fellow Texans and friends far away, raising money and sending more supplies than the town could handle. With over $3 million funds donated, everything seemed on track for a fast recovery and rebuild.

Now if the residents of West Texas had been muslims Zero would be throwing all sorts of money at them.

Sadly, I don’t think it’s an issue of people donating the money, it’s just not getting to them

WTF?!!

“They called their contact at State National Bank (in West) because that’s where they brought their check. He told them they needed 5.2+ million to assist everyone who was impacted and since they only had 3.2 million at the time they had to put a plan into place to allocate the funds on a case-by-case basis.”

But then it sounds like nobody knows where to go to try for that case-by-case basis. There something funny going on with the money in my opinion. Unless I’m not understanding.

Maybe I misread but I thought one of the problems was a lack of funds from the government to help with recovery. I freely admit I did not read thoroughly.

You are correct. This is a complicated story. It’s not about Obastard’s gummint not coughing up for whitey.

That’s what they want you to think. The money is money that was privately raised. The government is gumming up the distribution with regulations.

So either way we can thank the Zero administration for screwing citizens. I stand by original premise that if West Texas was a city of muslims Zero would have been shoveling money to them the next day.

Had West Texas been as black as New Orleans, money and aid would have arrived STAT!

But, they are white and Christian and we elected a closeted Muslim who hates whites.

Elections have consequences.
