    I went through a flood as a teen that ruined our home and two cars. Lost most of our belongings. House was torn down and we had to live in a high school auditorium with the red cross helping as best as they could. Local officials kicked into gear and were helping non stop.

    Question should FEMA break the law? By law for any disaster FEMA is allowed to initially give 750.00 that's the law passed by Congress. After the initial 750.00 the local government or persons are allowed to file to FEMA for more assistance. By law, that's how it works. If FEMA just started handing out money those areas would be flooded with freeloaders from other states trying to get a handout and we all know it. I think we need to put the below as a must-watch every day for some because they have forgotten how our government works.

    if it was a dem majority in these areas, FEMA would be tripping over themselves to get help in there ...

    Whistleblowers Accuse FEMA Of Misappropriating Funds, Leaving First Responders Without Orders
    "Hundreds, if not thousands of service members were deployed by the Department of Defense to North Carolina and have sat idle, waiting for FEMA."

    Federal, state, and local emergency management whistleblowers slammed the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) on Friday in the wake of Hurricane Helene’s disastrous effects on the Southeast.

    In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) wrote that whistleblowers have come forward accusing FEMA, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, of misappropriating taxpayer dollars and leaving first responders on the ground with no orders while Americans struggle to get help in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. The whistleblower allegations come after Mayorkas warned that FEMA was running short on funding for emergency response following Hurricane Helene.

    based on the populations of the other countries & money given, $750.00 is pretty good per person!
    UA get $642.00 per person, Israel $1190.00 each, Ethiopia $14.66 ea, Jordan $137.93ea, Egypt $11.86ea, Afghanistan $25.58ea, Somalia $55.00ea, Yemen $24.39ea, Congo $151.84ea, Syria $35.84ea
    yes that is sarcasm
    thats why we need a new font "sarcastica"

    They Are Lying to You About Hurricane Helene ....
    After what we have just witnessed, how will anyone be able to trust those that are running the country ever again? Hurricane Helene’s extremely unusual journey left an immense trail of destruction that was more than 500 miles long, and there are many communities that were completely and utterly wiped out.

    Authorities are telling the mainstream media that only a few hundred people died, and so that is what the mainstream media is telling us. But those that are on the ground in the areas that got hit the hardest are telling us a completely different story.

    for example, one woman in Asheville, North Carolina says that thousands of people are missing and that there are still “bodies hanging from trees they haven’t gotten to yet”

    Asheville, North Carolina woman says the media is lying about the death toll from Hurricane Helene, says the real number is much higher than 200.

    The TT user says cold trailers are overflowing with bodies.

    “If you go to certain backroads, you will still find bodies hanging from trees they haven’t gotten to yet,” she posted.

    “I don’t think people understand that 500+ people are dead. Thousands more missing.”

    Another local woman is claiming that there are more than 900 bodies at a local hospital in Asheville which still have not been identified…

    There are reports that Mission Hospital in Asheville North Carolina was told today, that they will be the morgue for body recovery. As of a few days ago, there were reports of 900+ bodies at the hospital that haven’t been identified.

    "But as a human being and as a man, as a Black man and as an openly gay Black man, I have a problem with letting them win on something they shouldn’t be able to,” Smollett said. “I’m a grown man and something happened. I can’t tell exactly what did happen, but I can tell you what did not happen. That’s what I have to sit on. No matter how much people are yelling in my face, saying ‘You’re a liar, you’re a liar.’ No, I’m not. No, I’m not. I don’t want them to believe that, but if that is what they believe, that’s on you.”

    Shannon Bream Just Bodies Tim Walz on Border, Abortion and 'Misspeaking' During Fox Interview

    You know that the Democrats have to be worried because they're finally having Kamala Harris and Tim Walz do more interviews, although they are still largely with friendly outlets.


    The only one that wasn't easy was an interview that Walz did on "Fox News Sunday" with Shannon Bream, who actually asked him some real questions. I suppose they wanted to be able to say they "did" Fox, but they didn't want to send Kamala so the only other choice was Walz. Naturally, he didn't really answer any of the questions and just lied his head off. But in this case, unlike probably some of the other interviews, Shannon Bream came back at him on some of the issues.

    *** If buying groceries is a concern for you, don't worry. Tim Walz says Kamala has a "middle-class agenda."

    It isn't about the $750, but that does not matter to a troll.

    It matters to have the correct information, I understand why the cult does want to actually know the truth.

    Doesn’t fit the narrative
