Hurricane Helene & The Biden-Harris FEMA Failure

I want to start this podcast by offering a first-hand account of what is happening in the rural areas of North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The devastation is much worse than being reported…much worse.A friend of this show, Judson Carroll, who hosts the Southern Appalachian Herbs podcast, who also podcasts on the Prepper Broadcasting Network, lives in Western North Carolina. Lucky to have intermittent internet service, he has provided us with a first-hand account of what is happening there:I want you to keep something in mind as you digest that report. Just as with the disaster that wiped Lahaina on the island of Maui in Hawaii from recognizable existence, the federal government is doing very little to help American citizens during the natural disaster in Appalachia.Shockingly – and this is entirely unacceptable, the Biden administration has misappropriated FEMA funds to provide taxpayers dollars for benefits for illegal immigrants.Over $1 billion intended for disaster relief through FEMA was redirected towards providing services for immigrants, including those who entered illegally, with nearly $364 million in 2023 and $650 million for 2024 going towards the "Shelter and Services Program" aimed at non-citizen migrants released by DHS.A recent report highlighted an annual net cost of $150.7 billion due to illegal immigration, encompassing various expenditures like emergency medical care, incarceration, and welfare.Various reports mention monthly stipends ranging from $1,200 to $1,912, while the costs to US taxpayers—including those in North Carolina and Hawaii—for housing and medical treatment aren't directly quantifiable into a per-person per-month figure. Additionally, the US federal government – and this must be laid at the feet of both parties – the Deep State globalist Uniparty, taxpayer dollars in the area of $70 billion have been sent to Ukraine with a projection of at least $174 billion being sent to that nation – without a caveat for accountability by September 2024.So, what is the Biden administration doing for those affected by Hurricane Helene? Not much!A statement issued by the White House proclaims:“FEMA assistance in Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina may include a one-time $750 payment to help with essential items like food, water, baby formula and other emergency supplies…”That’s a far cry from what the Biden-Harris administration is affording illegal immigrants, who broke the law to exist in our country at the very start.To add insult to injury – and in the wake of the Biden-Harris administration’s grotesquely irresponsible spending on non-critical special interests, impeached DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued a statement saying FEMA doesn’t have the funds to execute its mission:This is absolutely unacceptable, and the entirety of the blame must – without question – be laid at the spendthrift feet of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the sickeningly opportunistic Democrat and Uniparty Deep State leadership in Congress.How dare they raid emergency aid funds to provide politically motivated funding for non-citizens while taxpayers – American citizens – exist in immediate need. This goes for those affected by the hurricane in Hawaii, our military veterans and first responders, and our homeless.The far-Left in the United States has lost its way. They are compassionate only when it serves their ideology and fuck everyone else. They have become hate-filled, obstinate monsters who must be removed from control of government, and that goes for the placed operative in the Deep State bureaucracy as well as those in elected office.Tone down the rhetoric? Absolutely not! Not while people are being pulled alive out of the mud in North Carolina. Not while survivors in Lahaina are being denied answers to their questions and well-deserved aid to rebuild. Not while one military veteran or disabled first responder exists in need.I will not tone down the rhetoric, and in fact, I urge everyone to be outraged along with me. We must put our country, our citizens, and our neighbors first before we extend international benevolence.To help those in immediate need in Appalachia, please consider donating to one of two reputable organizations that consistently step up in times like these: Samaritan’s Purse (based out of North Carolina) and The Salvation Army (a Catholic charity). Links to both are on this podcast's webpage.Then, when we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL AM930 & FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.
