As Hurricane Helene tears through the eastern seaboard, leaving devastation in its wake, the mismanagement of FEMA under the Biden-Harris regime is hitting home with deadly consequences.
The storm’s ferocious winds and torrential rains have claimed at least 190 lives, left millions without power, and trapped countless families in floodwaters across North Carolina and beyond. Entire communities have been cut off from vital resources, with citizens scrambling for help.
Yet, in the face of this national disaster, the Biden-Harris administration’s FEMA appears woefully unprepared.
Why? Because over the past two years, they have funneled more than $1 billion in taxpayer dollars away from American disaster relief efforts — and into the pockets of illegal immigrants.
....
Beyond allocating billions of taxpayer dollars on illegal aliens, the agency has been entirely captured by the “equity” agenda – a euphemism for discrimination.
The #1 goal of their strategic plan is to “Instill Equity as a Foundation of Emergency Management.”

Incredibly powerful photo. And the caption is 100% true. The legacy media is filled with hideous people.
It's fine for the feds to provide disaster relief, but an agency that sits around waiting for emergencies to manage was always a corrupt boondoggle.
I'm old enough to remember the controversy surrounding FEMA when it was first proposed, and the arguments are the same now.
AMEN!
The Harris, Walz and Biden Administration! Foreign freeloaders first!
It's fine for the feds to provide disaster relief, but an agency that sits around waiting for emergencies to manage was always a corrupt boondoggle.
Realistically, the best that FEMA can do is to get businesses back on their feet after the clean up. But insurance should play their part too.
It’s up to us again, Parley Baer.
To all FR and others that are curious
and check in to see what FR is all about.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
We need to get the truth out.
Only donations will help keep FR going.

Biden also sent nearly all of the emergency electrical transformers to Ukraine. In earlier years he sold the emergency oil to China and others.
But not to worry as Kamala Ha Ha Harris says we need a national reserve for critical minerals.
BTW we already do! but I bet Biden and the democrats have sold those too.
Her real focus is getting companies that accept taxpayer money provide childcare facilities....

On this front, Harris is signaling a continuation of Biden administration practices. One area that got particular focus in the rollout of the CHIPS and Science Act focused on semiconductors was government interest in company practices down to the level of childcare facilities provided.
Not mismanagement, out-and-out theft.
Indeed more DEMOCRAT millionaires then any other group in D.C. for a reason.

"Biden-Kamala Regime Burns $1 BILLION in FEMA Funds to Resettle Illegal Immigrants — FEMA Now Lacks Resources for Disaster Response!"
On one hand, global warming alarmists are claiming that politically correct, junk science global warming is leading to bigger, more destructive hurricanes.
On the other hand, "oops," funding that could have gone for relief to Helene victims has already been given to undocumented Democrats.
It would appear that desperate, elite, incompetent Democrats are their own October surprise this presidential election year.
From other victims of both Helene and Biden / Harris incompetence threads ...
Although federal relief from natural disasters would arguably be the best invention since sliced bread, it remains that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds the specific power to provide relief from natural disasters.
More specifically, consider that misguided activist President Woodrow Wilson is the one who signed Congress's National Emergency Bill into law, the unconstitutional law (imo) giving presidents the first-time, constitutionally indefensible unilateral power to declare national emergencies, POTUS not even having express constitutional power to declare war.
Also note that troubled times, as a consequence of WWI, gave Wilson the politically correct excuse to sign National Emergency Act.
"Now, Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority conferred in me by said Act of Congress, do hereby declare and proclaim that I have found that there exists a national emergency [...]" —Proclamation 1354—Emergency in Water Transportation of the United States (non-FR)
”I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” —James Madison, Speech at the Virginia Convention to ratify the Federal Constitution (1788-06-06)
”The system of the General Government is to seize all doubtful ground. We must join in the scramble, or get nothing. Where first occupancy is to give right, he who lies still loses all.” —Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 1797.
Think of unconstitutional federal relief for victims of Helene as reparations for victims paying unconstitutional federal taxes for the last 100+ years.
"16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states [emphasis added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.
The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
As for the rest of us, we'll get our reparations when the new Congress that we support Trump with on Election Day supports hopeful Trump 47 in leading the states to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments.
Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.

Look for that 10% surcharge.
VOTE DEMOCRATS OUT.
No joke. I hope this will be a negative for Harris/Walz team.
You are in the prayers of countless Americans. I can’t grasp what y’all are experiencing and it’s an inspiration to watch citizens in the affected areas working together to bring food and water and other help to people with none.
Take care and take naps!
The little sh*ts couldn’t get money allocated through Congross - the ‘legal way’ so they cheated, lied and took money allocated for other purposed and used it to bring in MORE illegals and fly them around the country to swing states.
When Trump wins - this horror needs to be taken to court.
