The Biden-Harris administration’s ‘America Last’ policies have left the country vulnerable. Between draining the strategic petroleum reserve, sending hundreds of billions in cash and equipment to Ukraine (such as electrical transformers that are now needed for Hurricane Helene), and FEMA spending $640 million to help migrants, the agency tasked with emergency preparedness is now ‘broke,’ and doesn’t have enough money to get through hurricane season which typically lasts through November.
The agency is being stretched as it works with states to assess damage from Hurricane Helene and delivers meals, water, generators and other critical supplies. The storm struck Florida last week, then plowed through several states in the Southeast, flooding towns and killing more than 160 people.
Mayorkas was not specific about how much additional money the agency may need, but his remarks on Air Force One underscored concerns voiced by President Joe Biden and some lawmakers earlier this week that Congress may need to pass a supplemental spending bill this fall to help states with recovery efforts
“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” said Mayorkas, adding “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”
That is a major case of BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are the truest words ever spoken. especially right now.
At a press conference on August 12th, 1986, US President Ronald Reagan said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”
Then why did Reagan expand FEMA and increase their budget? You have no clue what you are talking about.
What are the problems with FEMA?
FEMA, which is also in charge of disaster relief, is under constant financial pressure as its budget runs short. That means less urgent issues like updating the flood map are pushed down the priority list, especially when people in disaster zones are waiting for food and shelter.3 days ago
Why was FEMA an agency in trouble at the close of the 1980s?
At the closing of the 1980’s, FEMA was an Agency in trouble. It suffered from severe morale problems, disparate leadership, and conflicts over Agency spending and priorities with its partners at the State and local levels.
How did FEMA change in 2003?
In March 2003, FEMA joined 22 other federal agencies, programs and offices in becoming the Department of Homeland Security. The new department, headed by Secretary Tom Ridge, brought a coordinated approach to national security from emergencies and disasters – both natural and man-made.
Is FEMA controlled by the government?
On March 1, 2003, FEMA became part of the Department of Homeland Security.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Emergency Management Agency can meet immediate needs but does not have enough funding to make it through the hurricane season, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters Wednesday.
Funneling Emergency Money to Aliens.
This is disgraceful slap in the face to this country. This is all what evil will do to win. We are in a war against evil. Evil warfare from within not from foreign countries.
Kamala just announced 200 million aid for Lebanon.
For those that won’t read the entire article, here goes :
Biden announced a new $2.4B aid package to Ukraine last week while Kamala announced today that victims of Hurricane Helene will get a mere $750.

In almost one week, the Biden-Harris administration approved:
– $8.7 billion in military aid for Israel
– $8 billion in military aid for Ukraine
– $567 million in military support for Taiwan
– $750 one time emergency assistance payment for American victims of Hurricane Helene… pic.twitter.com/kr3fioFZ3Z
$750 will get you 3 nights in a hotel and meals for 3 days.
That’s $750 per person in order to buy groceries and other essentials. That’s on top of the millions in aid being used to clean up flood damage. Why are you pretending like the entire state of North Carolina is getting a measly $750? Get a life.
Of course, American citizens are the very last priority for the demon crat regime. you better be ready to take care of yourself.
