Another day, another batch of news coming from the people that demonstrates just how much the government has failed the people, especially the victims of Hurricane Helene.
Amid the heartbreak and loss, we've been learning that FEMA has completely used up its budget to the point where there's little to no funds for disaster relief, reportedly because much of the budget was used up helping illegals at the border.
This isn't exactly common knowledge because the media isn't being forthcoming with this information. In fact, every time I mention this on various accounts, a handful of leftists pop up and tell me I'm spreading lies and that I have no proof. If you've been watching RedState's coverage, the proof is there.
...
The reason the media doesn't want to cover this is obvious. This is one of the biggest government scandals in modern history, and one that makes the Biden-Harris administration look horrific. This is right before people go to the polls to vote, no less.
The vast majority of the news and updates we're getting come from people on the ground who are having to deal with the effort to help these people directly. For instance, this woman who is running supplies described how four FEMA agents got off a private jet, and she soon learned that no others would be coming because most FEMA agents are tied up at the border.
She described how the army has taken over body recovery and that she overheard them saying that whatever number of dead there are, "go ahead and add a couple of zeroes."
She continues by saying that most of the supplies she's seen came from private organizations such as the Cajun Navy and the ASPCA.
...
Former Army Ranger and MMA fighter Tim Kennedy is also on the ground, and his report sounds very similar to what he told a local news station. According to Kennedy, FEMA is present, but they're "in the way."
"They're directly interrupting our ability to conduct missions and operations," said Kennedy.
Kennedy described a moment where he attempted to book a couple of people into a hotel to give them shelter, but the hotel turned them away as it had been booked for federal employees. Kennedy said he slept in his car that night and that he's filthy and under-slept, noting that the organization he's working with, "Save Our Allies," are all in the same state he is.
"This is Biblical levels of devastation," Kennedy continued. "This is apocalyptic, the things that we see out there."
Kennedy also expressed his frustration that rescue efforts had to cease so that Biden and Harris could land for photo ops.
If you think back to the way that George W. Bush was torpedoed by the media over his handling of Katrina, the silence about the failures of government during Helene is deafening. Not only are they dragging their feet in helping, they're actively getting in the way of helping people find shelter. It's all boiled down to the people helping the people, while the government posts the aforementioned photo-ops to make it seem like they care and are doing things to help.
Things are really bad in places like North Carolina, and I have a feeling we'll only know the real extent of how bad it got after the election.

Bump. Some folks are going to have to pay for what they have done. It’s coming.
Our ENTIRE GOVERNMENT is CORRUPT and INCOMPETENT!
There are over 140 substations that are out. We need hundreds of major transformers and large capacity distribution equipment, but it’s not available. Biden/Harris sent it all to Ukraine. We were taxed to fund a useless war that killed a million people and now we are going to pay to rebuild Ukraine’s infrastructure. But don’t worry Kamala is going to give you $750! That’s all she can afford; after all we are sending $43,000,000 a week to the Taliban! Thanks Joe! Wake up people!
I would add...illegitimate.
How this could not result in a “too big to rig” election of Trump 47, I have no idea. If election results don’t have him coming out on top then we’ll know.
Who’s the president? Both? Neither?
I’m thinking Trump was spot on again when he said at the debate-“he (Biden) hates her (Harris) by the way - he hates her “
“But don’t worry Kamala is going to give you $750!”
loan?
I read that if you use it for an expense insurance will reimburse, you’ll have to repay what the insurer pays for that expense.
It is all spun as climate change (as everything right now!)
What can government do besides subsidizing windmills, solar cells, banning cows, fertilizers, gas stoves, ordering EV’s, implementing road diets, and rising prices of gas? They are powerless! (pun intended!)
Too risky - wouldn’t want to mistakenly give more than 750 bucks and have it wind up in the hands of a racist, misogynist transphobe republican voter /s
Beware of Milton:

The NHC has it forecast headed towards Tampa Bay as a major hurricane.
Payday is coming for sure. For the first time ever, we voted by mail-in ballot. I think the deep state will do all it can to disrupt the voting process, create havoc and declare martial law. If that happens all bets are off. It won’t be America divided, but America waking up to the threat of a totalitarian government.
You’ll probably have to pay taxes on it.
EVERY town should have had supplies dropped by now...you don't need roads....
And then there are the buses....Drivers said not in the contract.
It seemed like the perfect plan to take over the White House for several generations, all they had to do was import foreign people, then compromise them with free stuff, and their new pets would be faithful forever, but nothing is perfect because in their calculations they didn’t think that nature would ruin that “perfect” plan.
We have to see how they get out of this mess.
BTW — In the event of a nuclear war, the full resources of the US government will be focused on salvaging the areas right around Washington DC. The rest of the country can go eff off.
Most of those people probably didn’t have flood insurance. Insurance companies will probably weasel out.
...stole the funds supposed to be used for walls and they were breached because they were never repaired...
To be fair, I read that they used the money to purchase and install a very nice fountain. I suspect they overpaid...
Hi Brian. I believe I’ve read some some of your other posts and you’re in Florida? I am on the treasure Coast. What are your thoughts on this hurricane?
