Comparing Helene To Katrina Suggests Americans Are Left To Die Because Democrats Run The White House
The Federalist ^ | 10/04/2024 | Cynical Publius

Posted on 10/04/2024 1:56:19 PM PDT by Weirdad

As a veteran of military logistics, I can tell you exactly why the Democrat administration’s response to Helene has been abysmal.

The devastation wrought across the American Southeast by Category 4 Hurricane Helene last week has naturally drawn comparisons to the 2005 Hurricane Katrina response. As a veteran of military logistics, I can confirm that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ response to this round of mass suffering has been orders of magnitude worse than federal actions taken after Katrina.

Great article by a great poster and smart analyst also on X.com. Fairly long, but fairly fast reading, lots of detail.

READ THE ARTICLE <--- highly recommended. I DID search, not posted.

Joe Biden doesn’t care about black people.

Criminal actions/inaction by the current administration that will be ignored.

Lindsey Graham might be screaming now, but he will be paid off like every other corrupt politician with no backbone.

Biden-Harris’ Helene Response Has Been Way Worse Than Katrina, The Federalist

PURE INCOMPETENCE! Suppressing Red Votes.

The Biden-Harris administration and/or the Democrat North Carolina governor are maliciously and deliberately denying or delaying the use of these assets for nefarious reasons only they know, such as, for example, making sure red counties in North Carolina cannot vote for Donald Trump.

Think Afghanistan, or East Palestine, Ohio, only with no planning and bad weather.

Pretty simple, eh? Examine the work product of America's government and you'll stop asking for more government.

Besides, your government hates you, wants fewer of you, and your demise is only celebrated by them.

My question is, What if this had been the Rio Grande river valley instead of Asheville?

The explanation is that the ChiComjoe/Commie-La Administration consists of lying, murdering traitors.

Been watching it all unfold on X

Noticed everywhere the NC Nat Guard is going has fully intact roads. They’re helping the population centers like Ashville(dem). Not doing anything for the small valley towns where the roads were destroyed and people are trapped.

People like Rep Cory Mills and NASCAR driver Greg Biffle are doing that. The Cajun Navy with funding from Glenn Beck’s Mercury One org and Patriot Supply, Patriot Mobile now have 50 helicopters going to those places. People and companies are making donations to get 18 wheeler loads of supplies to them. Elon Musk is supplying starlink systems to them and for first responders in those remote areas.

That was where I found that article.

I just saw this also, though was from this AM. This is the text from it, impressive and other than not getting help from our own damn government it is at least a little encouraging that people EVEN MORE are doing what they have to do.

It’s like “Lost” or some dystopian SciFi.

Just got off the phone a Pastor in the midst of the flooding in TN/NC. He is in one of the most devastated locations. He verified a few things about the situation:

- Almost all help is being done by private citizens, mainly churches.
- Private helicopters are flying in the vast majority of the supplies.
- Local Sheriffs are telling people to feel free to defend their
property from looters by whatever means they have. 🔫
- WROL (Without Rule of Law) is happening in some areas, which
means looting, robbing, and etc.
- FEMA’s involvement has seriously complicated the rescue efforts.
- Local Sheriffs have threatened to arrest FEMA workers if they
hinder rescue and aid work.
- The response to this tragedy has been massive and overwhelming.
All from private individuals and local Churches.

Pray for these people!

Not wise to cultivate the animosity of a people who yearn to be free and independent. This will bite the elite bigly in due time.

Definitely.

The Scottish blood of the Appalachians (among other heritages, but a lot is Scottish) has not been corrupted like it now seems to have been in Scotland itself.

And they will not forget quickly if at all.

I am originally from North Carolina and have been watching the efforts closely. Some friends from my high school have children living in Erwin Tennessee and other mountain towns near Hendersonville. They have been organizing resources from Kinston and arranging with local truck companies and private pilots. It's been unbelievable the lack of response from the so-called emergency agencies.

I was watching local video this morning and saw the emergency responder breaking down in tears as he described finding a mother and her three children who had been tossed into the trees after their house was taken by a landslide. When they finally got to them, a bear had found them first.

IMO, Alejandro Mayorkas deserves to be hung from a tree alive and left for bear bait.

So sad, and also incredibly bad.

And how could anyone doubt your credibility?

But them Dem, many of them plus their media minions, are calling people like you and those even closer to the front on this LYING REPUBLICANS. They do not even really know the “liar’s” party, they just want what they want at any cost.

Too many believe them, and the more they blather about liars, the LESS they have to talk about the human costs there that they are ignoring and sabotaging.

Too many rural white folks for a Democrat administration to care.

Can it be confirmed that the woman and her children were in a tree alive, then a bear found them before help could be provided? Make sure that is true and send me a link.

Joe Biden does not care about ANYBODY but himself, his family (well except for one grandchild!) and his asshole buddies!
