SpaceX engineer claims FEMA is 'actively blocking' shipments and goods: Musk

“Why should they care about a bunch of Republican hillbillies.”

And no doubt... a bunch of off-the-grid patriots that know full well what ‘this government’ is capable of. Let’s pray that they were prepared enough to survive the most recent event.

Thank you for referencing that article airdalechief.

"SpaceX engineer claims FEMA is 'actively blocking' shipments and goods: Musk"

Kudos to Mr. Musk for supporting hopeful Trump 47.

While corrupt Congress turns its head, constitutionally undefined FEMA, run by non-popularly elected federal bureaucrats is wrongly obstructing the 10th Amendment power of the people to protect their lives and their property imo.

In fact, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified that the Constitution's drafters had left the care of the people to the states, not the federal government.

"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people [emphasis added]."
From the congressional record:
”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)

Given that natural disasters are a state power issue, Congress shouldn't be appropriating taxes for constitutionally undefined FEMA, FEMA relief for natural disasters an abuse of Congress's repealable (hint) 16th Amendment power (direct taxes) imo.

"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.
"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.

Each state would find more tax revenues to deal with natural disasters if it weren't for the tsunami of unconstitutional federal taxes that oppressed taxpayers send to DC every year.

In addition to repealing 16A, the ill-conceived 17th Amendment (17A; popular voting for federal senators) needs to disappear too.

I still cannot believe that corrupt Congress is turning its head while constitutionally undefined FEMA and unqualified Harris (imo) are being mean to Helene victims in a pivotal election year.

Since Congress and likewise renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are enemies of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.

In fact, it's up to us Trump supporters to take the first MAJOR step in draining the swamp by supporting hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.

Supporting Trump to finish draining the swamp includes supporting him to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes by leading the states to repeal 16&17A, effectively "seceding" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing so.

Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.

You could be correct. However I am hearing multiple accounts of the opposite…

Where are you located? You give no more specific info than the reports you are disparaging.

"The big issue is FEMA is actively blocking shipments and seizing goods and services locally and locking them away to state they are their own. It’s very real and scary how much they have taken control to stop people helping. We are blocked now on the shipments of new starlinks coming in until we get an escort from the fire dept. but that may not be enough.”

FEMA must be subcontracting relief work to Hamasholes.

Madison County NC. Near Hot Springs and Spring Creek. Not far from Asheville but I haven’t been to Asheville. I have also been working in Newport TN and Barnardsville NC. None of that is happening. That rumor has been going around.

Ahh…you’re being sarcastic! 😉

Thank you.

SHHHH don’t tell on me.
