Nevermind, they just meant no taking pictures at the Fourseasons pool or Bar of FEMA "workers".

FEMA should have zero authority on this.

FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell insists that she and Biden have been in close communication throughout the entire disaster response.

OK. Just what does that mean? Are they swapping vacation stories? Discussing what property they're going grab?

It’s becoming obvious that whoever is perpetrating this land grab has prepaid their 10% to the Big Guy.

The Biden regime is only interested controlling the optics of the daily news cycle. We’ve seen this over and over again on the border. The media plays ball.

Is it as simple as trying to make biden look good?
I doubt that’s all there is. I think the left wanted the fires to use them to “prove” global warming.

We are supposed to hate Russia because they censor their media.

Lol.

A reported FEMA letter dated August 19, 2023 that urges an official media blackout on new disaster footage.

They can urge what ever they want, but they have no authority whatsoever to take steps to ensure that outcome.

Its funny to watch. The government is trying to use cultural sensitivity to hide their many failures. But it's the local indigenous population that is screaming the loudest for transparency.

Tulsi is there now.

However, as she’s still a reservist, she may be limited as to what she can say about what’s happening there.

Yup—the Deep State wants their controlled mass media to spin the narrative of the day.

If the narrative is not “taking” then they go to plan B.

Censorship.

Among this muffled media landscape comes an anonymous tip: A reported FEMA letter dated August 19, 2023 that urges an official media blackout on new disaster footage.


Recall Bush II was totally blamed for Huricane Katrina/New Orleans.

The left rips through “special minorities” like knives through butter—treats them as totally disposable.

Just because Deanne and Joe ‘have been in close communication’ doesnt meant help and supplies were even discussed or arranged...

Where are the supplies wheres the shelters ???

FEMA should be shuttered and completely defunded. Emergency management and disaster relief can be handled by state and local governments. Additionally, individual citizens can volunteer, donate and more. FEMA, like most parts of the federal government have become political and weaponized.
