Is it that hard to deliver small trailers for survivors of a monstrous hurricane?

Well, to FEMA, Joe Biden's emergency management agency it is.

Here are the sorry leavings:

Matt Van Swol @matt_vanswol

🚨#BREAKING: FEMA was caught on tape saying that the reason they have only delivered 27 trailers to a county in #WNC is because:

"There are a lot of mountains..."

WHAT?!

Matt Van Swol @matt_vanswol

🚨#BREAKING: FEMA is now publicly apologizing for LYING to survivors waiting for temporary homes in #WNC.

According to @WBTV_News , FEMA promised it would deliver, " at least 103 temporary homes by Thanksgiving..."

Sadly, they only delivered 19.

Yah but I saw thousands of trailers along interstate 59 for Katrina victims. I guess the gov’t abandoned them because of improper insulation.

What in the hell did we think we were going to get in nationalizing the disaster insurance business?

In this country if you receive any kind of government check...paycheck,social security check,welfare check,etc...it's highly likely that you're voting Rat.

I’m not sure that that’s been firmly established. IIRC no President has ever tried it. IMO it’s absolutely possible that The Big Guy’s puppet masters will try to convince him to do so. Then the fun *really* begins!

Mayorkas needs to be held accountable for misuse of government funds.

I seem to recall an article a few weeks ago where a group of Amish went to NC to build “tiny homes” for people until relief could be arranged.

I also seem to recall that NC government officials forced people out of these homes because they didn’t meet building code. Haven’t heard anything more, maybe fake story.

However, there is no way a TENT in the winter in the NC mountains is better than a hand built tiny home?

FEMA and NC Officials should all be forced to live in their damned tents if this story is true!!!!

This post-event rebuild should not be a Fed action. Subject FEMA to a DOGE evaluation, trim it down to the effective parts, and let good neighbors to the reconstruction.

I’ve been following the story of a guy out there who, after FEMA shut down the road the WV coal boys built with a gate and a lock, this guy goes and cuts the lock so the local rescue crews can get in and out of chimney creek with supplies. Local LEO actually had the balls to arrest the dude, and now he’s facing misdemeanor charges. Seems FEMA relocked the gate and is requesting something like quarter of a million to add armed guards. Haven’t read or seen any further, but awaiting this guy’s next update.

It's said that ...’ In adversity, you learn who a person is.’

We always knew that Joe and Co. were a crowd of the worst kind if chiselers and crooks. How Joe handled the misfortunes of his countrymen tells us just how small, selfish, shallow and superficial he is!

I can easily believe government building code “officers” forcing people out of non-compliant but adequate shelter.

Government is dangerous at best,in the hands of socialists it is deadly.

I don’t really think FEMA was created to help freeloading, thieving, foreign illegal aliens with their invasion of America. If it was, then it’s time to be defunded. If they can sneak into America and afford to buy high dollar pickups and SUVs, they don’t need any help from FEMA.

If FEMA can manage to move millions of freeloaders who can’t even speak English all the way up to the Rio Grande from the tip of South America and all points in between, it sure does seem they should be able to help Americans who were wiped out by a hurricane in North Carolina. I think it’s time to end the global communist “mass migration” of freeloaders to civilized countries.

From what I’m hearing, they’re over near Blowing Rock but my family there says nobody knows anything about them. They showed up and one or two have been moved with no local knowledge of where they’re going.
