Whistleblowers Accuse FEMA of Mismanaging Funds, Leaving First Responders Idle
The Daily Signal ^ | Jarrett Stepman

Whistleblowers at the Federal Emergency Management Agency have come forward in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene to accuse the agency of misappropriating funds and generally mismanaging its responsibilities.

This is according to a letter sent by Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, whose department includes FEMA.

FEMA has come under fire for its response to Hurricane Helene, which ravaged North Carolina, Georgia, and other states and left over 200 dead.

Doesn’t sound like anybody’s in charge - but then isn’t it a woman who is head of Fema?

Hope they make some heartless politicians look as bad as they really are.

So a woman head of FEMA, a woman in charge of the deadly Butler shootings (one man died, Trump wounded and bleeding) and President wannabe Kamala:

Arms holding each others’ shoulders after several beers.

All the boys are singing love songs,

they forgot “sweet Adeline,”🎶🎶

those committee hearings are breaking up that old gang of mine.
That old gang of mine.🍻🍻

There seems to be some confusion about what FEMA is supposed to do, so just got this from their website. 1) Instill equity as a foundation of emergency management. 2) Lead whole of community in climate resilience. 3) Promote and sustain a ready FEMA and prepared nation. https://www.fema.gov/about/strategic-plan

Mismanagement? Or deliberate malfeasance?

Yes, I could have added that hag.

That picture could cause projectile vomiting. I came close.

NOT A DAMN ONE of the Biden Regime's appointees is worth a warm bucket of S*IT! They were all selected for DEI reasons, certainly NOT qualifications or ability!

The Senate has to start closely examining cabinet and department nominees and not just rubber stamping them!

You aren’t impressed by the fact that Gina Raimondo had never heard of the Bureau of Labor and Statistics? (/s) She’s been the f**king Secretary of COMMERCE for three years, for Pete’s sake!

The greater question:

What actions will the bureaucratic state take at the behest of its overlords to further vet the federal workforce of those who would embarrass the elites and expose either (or both) their failings or disturbing motives?

The jabs were obviously not wholly effective, nor their prior policies targeting those not beholden to groupthink (e.g., ‘right-wingers’)...

I assure you that this question has already been tabled by those offended by the whistleblowers (traitors, by their thinking, their actions ‘transgressions’ in contrast to how normal people view whistleblowers who, imho, require greater protections...and rewards).
