In the annals of American disasters—man-made ones like the bombing of the 1995 Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City or natural ones like Hurricane Katrina in 2005—there has never been a more mismanaged and bungled disaster response by our federal government than the current aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
The monster storm plowed across Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, downing power lines, sweeping away bridges, devastating entire towns, and leaving over 200 dead and countless hundreds still missing as this is published.
Into this hellscape of destroyed cities, overturned cars, and shattered lives have parachuted the Presidential “nominee” of the Democratic Party—the one nobody actually voted for—Kamala Harris. Conservative estimates of the cleanup in Helene’s wake exceed $ 300 billion…but the tone-deaf Harris put on her cheeriest face and announced that victims would be getting reparations from Washington. In an October 2nd speech in Augusta, GA (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/10/02/remarks-by-vice-president-harris-on-response-and-recovery-efforts-following-hurricane-helene-augusta-ga/) Mrs. Time To Turn The Page stunned onlookers with these words:
“…And the federal relief and assistance that we have been providing has included FEMA providing $750 for folks who need immediate needs being met, such as food, baby formula, and the like. And you can apply now.”
Wow! Your home has been leveled, your car is crushed under tons of rubble, your streets are closed, and your cell phone is useless. But it isn’t all bad news: you can “apply” for a $750 gift card from Kamala Harris. more here
It will probably be in the form of a credit card, or a check that has to wait to clear
and I’d be real friggin’ careful to read the fine print that has to be signed by those who actually get the $750.
Unearned Income….????
Wake up. They did this in Lahaina 14 months ago. Same dollar amount. What does Lahaina look like today? Scorched earth? However I’ve heard Opera and the Rock have called dibs on a couple ocean front properties. You no longer have a Government of the people, by the people, and for the people. And Kamala will be installed as president. Enjoy.
We know things are difficult and overwhelming for you now, so we’ve ALSO chosen to offer people in the disaster areas assisted suicides for the low, low price of $750.00!
And we will, of course, ensure everyone has access to our mobile clinics for no cost. Mobile ABORTION clinics, that is.
And except for where the lithium deposits we want are, your Federal Government is COMMITTED to rebuilding your homes, your schools, your hospitals and your businesses, and giving them to newcomers free with every Democrat vote.
Speaking of votes, don’t worry, we already took care of that for you, so you can concentrate fully on dying. We will of course tell anyone who comes looking for you how much they owe us for having to answer any questions, and they will leave with someone’s body, don’t know whose, but we will tell them it’s yours and provide full documentation in a couple of years for a fee.
Thank you for becoming a reliable Party voter, we will make this a country you will DIE for!
The 2 dumbest fucks in government teaming up.
You forgot David Axelrod and Robert B Reichshuh as Rush used to call him and Eric Holder all major league democrap scumbags.
The obstruction and slow walking of aid to the victims of Helene is for a purpose. To punish the majority of them who vote republican and make sure these thousands of votes will not be cast or counted. Another example of their contempt for the American people.
And the ol’ serpent head James Carville.
Rumor has it the check is only for those without insurance, and is income tested. I am willing to bet most won’t qualify.
