Biden Fail: Hungary Providing Shelter for 250 Maui Families!

Amidst harsh criticism of the Biden administration and Hawaii government officials for their response to the devastating and deadly Maui fires, the Hungarian government has reportedly stepped up to provide shelter for 250 Maui families.

There had been ample warning of the serious risk of wildfires and millions of dollars available to spend on preparing for them. Nonetheless, when fire raged through Lahaina this month, water was not initially released to fight it, government negligence had exacerbated the flammable nature of the area, people were blocked from escaping, and the exact death toll is unknown as hundreds of people are still missing, including many children.

The Biden administration was slammed for its apparent initial indifference before Biden’s eventual gaffe-filled and out-of-touch visit. Local officials have also faced angry criticism. Not to mention, federal aid officials were caught staying in four-star and five-star hotels 45 minutes from Lahaina as survivors lacked sufficient aid. But Hungary is stepping up.

From Newsmax, August 20:

The Hungarian government is stepping forward to help the families in Hawaii after the devastating and deadly Maui wildfires claimed more than 100 lives and leveled the homes and businesses in the Lahaina community.

Hungary is pledging to provide pop-up homes for 250 families by the end of October, with the first shipment of 20 delivered by the Hungarian Armed Forces by Monday, Hungarian Ambassador to the U.S. Szabolcs Takács, based in Washington, D.C., announced in statement to Newsmax.

Takács’s statement said, “With the assistance of the Hungarian Government, Continest Technologies Zrt., a Hungarian SME specialized in designing and manufacturing efficiently deployable, modular and multifunctional temporary infrastructure solutions, is donating foldable containers to the relief effort in Hawaii ”

We are the Third World.

In the event of a disaster, we rely on the First World to send us aid.

Our homosexual Ambassador had a hissy fit about Hungarian LGBT rights.
He was appointed as a stick in the eye to a conservative largely Christian nation.

If they think the Hawaiian language is hard, they have nothing on Hungarian.

Re: Hungarian language

I have heard about the difficulty before.

Browsed around a Wiki article on Hungarian and discovered that Hungary was founded by Stephen The First in 1,000 AD.

zeestephen is on his way to Budapest to reclaim the family throne!

Maybe Hungary can annex what’s left of “old school” America.

RE: If they think the Hawaiian language is hard, they have nothing on Hungarian.

About 20% of Hungarians are proficient English ( Including their Prime Minister Viktor Orban.)

But most tourists have no problem communicating while traveling to Hungary. That is because most English speakers are around tourist spots.

Moreover, many Hungarians learn English in school. So it’s not uncommon for people to be able to speak the language at a basic level.

Excellent! Truth is the Globalists want those indigenous in Lahaina to be off and out of their land for good.

Even those who have homes that did not burn are being forced out.

Give the guy Biden a break, he has had Three Bleeding Brain Aneurysms and they really hit ya with some Alzheimer's and a bunch of small problems like no feeling and lack of smell.

Biden should not rn for POTUS ever again.
