A List of Suspicions Why the Federal Response to Helene Has Been So Awful

The Federalist

The Biden-Harris administration’s federal response to Helen has been horrific, if not criminal, and I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out why it’s been so bad. Creating a list of every possible explanation, no matter how remote, I pressure-tested this list with my followers on X, many of whom are active duty, reserves, National Guard, or retired military. With that in mind, here is the full, curated list (in no particular order) of all possible reasons why active-duty military forces have not yet been deployed en masse to disaster relief in North Carolina:

  • The Biden-Harris administration is grossly incompetent, in terms of not prestaging assets and not cutting through red tape to get the assets moving.
  • Units based in the southeastern U.S. — like the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), the 82nd Airborne Division, the XVIII Airborne Corps, and the 2nd Marine Division — are currently under classified deployment or standby orders to deploy to Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Taiwan, or some other world hotspot, and they therefore cannot spare their units at this moment in time. [bold added]
  • The classified readiness rates of America’s military helicopters and their crews are vastly worse than anyone outside the military understands.
  • Hurricane Helene damaged most military helicopters in North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee, and that fact is being kept secret.
  • The active-duty military assets are not needed, everything is just peachy-keen with the limited assets currently in use, and those limited assets are totally sufficient to do the job.
  • The conditions on the ground, the availability of aviation support units, and/or the availability of aviation fuel make it impossible to establish forward bases for the helicopters to operate from.
  • 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.

  1. Biden/Harris just don’t GAF about the plights of any Americans – there’s no profit in it for either of them, personally.

  2. There is no grand totalitarian conspiracy behind the poor response to Helene. It’s Hanlon’s razor.

    “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

    The government has never done anything cheaply, effectively or quickly. Occasionally, they may achieve one of those things in an endeavor, and on the rare occasion, two. But never all three at once. Even when smarter people were running the bureaucracies and the military.

    Katrina happened two decades ago. Sure, there was a massive government rescue effort at the time, but numerous government screwups over decades had made the effects of Katrina worse. But nobody was held accountable, and the whole response is remembered as “Bush’s Folly”. That is because the Dems have the media to cover for them. As long as a disaster happens when Dems are in power, the media will minimize the problem to the best of their ability, blame the victims and propagandize for the bureaucracies. Remember the horrendous Louisiana floods of 2016? Probably not, because Obama was Preezy and Hillary was running for his job. And neither one of them could be bothered to pay a visit. But Trump went down there in the middle of the campaign, and all we heard from the media was about Melania’s high heels.

    And then there’s covid. I don’t even have to mention how PDT was savaged for that “disaster” response, and how the tyrant Democrat governors and bureaucrats became heroes in the media. And how Biden became the hero of covid when he took over.

    So here we are today, after a bad storm, and the government response is, as usual, too little too late, and the equipment, planning and brainpower delegated by the government to deal with it is degrading more with each passing year. But the media will memory hole Helene, because Milton gearing up to hit Florida, and they’re gearing up to hit De Santis.

  3. Or… Maybe the Biden administration is entirely made up of Marxist-Communist Bolsheviks. The same non-Christian Marxists-Communists that Solzhenitsyn wrote about, who murdered, mutilated, and starved (via Holodomor) to death 66-million White Christian Russians from around 1917 to 1947.

    Was also told close to the same when asking older Russians while visiting Moscow (twice) and Kiev, both during the 90s. So, maybe question Biden (and/or Obamalam) for the reason of opening the borders for no apparent reason, other than for made-up lies.

  4. Add this to the list:
    The deep state is doing everything it can to anger the citizens enough that they will revolt, even in just a small region of the country like southern Appalachia. Then they can declare a country-wide emergency and apply emergency powers to destroy the Constitution in one big swoop.
