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!

Another PSA. This is for all the confused MAGA folks on the board.

FEMA warns of Helene misinformation, launches ‘rumor response’ page

Me and Veteran friends spent the week helping people in the UpState of South Carolina. Until North Carolina gets it's **** together and FEMA learns to coordinate with Volunteers there. We are not going there. Anyone who has been trained to conduct S&R and Disaster Relief knows the Administration and the North Carolina Governor are a cluster **** right now and are way behind on where they should be in this operation.





South Carolina basically ignores this Administration. Sheriffs are not going to target anyone trying to assist. The Governor wouldn't tolerate it either.

Wait to everyone finds out how short they are on emergency stockpiles just like they were during Covid-19. Basics like MREs, Water Filters, Bottled Water, Blankets, and Cots. We better hope another big doesn't hit anytime soon until Trump can fix it.






New BOMBSHELL allegations from FEMA whistleblowers help explain why the federal government's response to Hurricane Helene has been so horrendous. Gaetz has confirmed that “hundreds, if not thousands, of service members were deployed to North Carolina by the Department of Defense and have been sitting idle, waiting for FEMA" as Americans in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia are missing and dying.FEMA whistleblowers also tell Gaetz that the department has wasted and misappropriated funds in the wake of Helene, which is "exacerbating the emergency."Gaetz also confirms that FEMA funds that were supposed to be used for Americans surviving emergencies were instead used by NGOs to buy airline tickets for migrants.Treasonous.

Look, I don’t doubt that there are still many people that have serious needs. I understand that and am not questioning that part at all. But I do think that all the local/federal partners that are involved are doing the best they can. The reality is that this disaster covers a huge amount of land. In many places the roads and infrastructure are gone, and unfortunately it takes time.

Great post. Some of these roads are impassable, or completely gone. When local officials and the army corps of engineers tell people "you can't go there just yet", then that's that.

People living there are saying it. Stop defending these morons. They are simply not getting it done fast enough or good enough.
When my power goes off, I go nuts and blame the power company for not getting it fixed fast enough. That's humans. We are irrational during times of crisis. The fact is that there are many different factors that determine the speed of recovery. And that's not defending anyone. That's just the truth.

They're using pack mules among other methods to reach people. Also Musk is just trolling the situation to help his boy so pay him no mind.

You have no training or experience on the subject or these missions. You continue to defend this nonsense. It shows you have no idea what you're talking about. Seriously you should STFU because those suffering don't want to hear you defend this Administration. It's a huge failure and the Power Companies have nothing to do with it.

We are talking about Search and Rescue then getting the basics of Food, Water, and other supplies to those affected. It's been a week. That's a failure and there's no defending it.

You don’t read well. It’s ok.

He's talking to you MAGA.

Tennessee mayor on FEMA attacks post-Helene: ‘Quit spreading those rumors’

“If everyone could maybe please put aside the hate for a bit and pitch in to help, that would be great,” he added.

What a delusional Turd. That explains not helping everyone.




MEDIA

Axelrod says ‘upscale’ NC Harris voters will find way to vote after storm, not sure about rural Trump fans​

'You know, they’re upscale, kind of liberal voters, and they’re probably going to figure out a way to vote,' David Axelrod said of Ashville, NC voters​

Please don’t spread misinformation. If you want to criticize the speed of response then that’s fair game if it’s how you feel. But the idea that only $750 is available for assistance is flat out wrong.

Shut the **** up.

Democrats don't give a **** about Americans.

All they love is power

Who said anything about Democrats? I’m just stating what the facts are

i stand by what I said and said nothing wrong.

Illegal immigrants get $2,500 a month which is more than most Americans will get for Social Security after working all of their life.

The 750 is a loan. But what you can't seem to wrap your brain around is this Administration can't handle the the basics of Search and Rescue missions and getting basics of water and MREs to those that need it since last Friday. Stop listening to the media defending this Administration and listen to those that know what's suppose to be happening. The fact is this Administration is fvcking the basics up.

The $750 is not a loan. I’m sorry, I respect you, but it’s just not correct information.
