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........
