The Hurricane Helene disaster is described a "Biblical" in it's destruction. Sometimes hyperbole is appropriate. In the 2.5 years I've been in SC, this is the second which passed me by. As large and powerful as this storm was, we experienced less wind and rain than we did the last one. But this one also proves that there really is no place one is 100% safe from some form of natural catastrophe. For example, in my home state, there are two major fault lines which run through it: the New Madrid Seismic Zone and the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone. There was a rumbling within the last ten or so years I lived there, and it was just enough to remind folks those fault lines existed. Naturally, many experts say it's just a matter of time before a good rocker takes place.
And we see that with this storm. While card-carrying dumbasses and liars...like our current pretend Commander-In-Chief, Joe Biden...pretend this storm validates their bullshit climate change alarmism, the historical record clearly contradicts that crap. Asheville, NC, which was hit especially hard, experienced something similar in 1916 (I read there were two that year, but don't hold me to it). This is a place now referred to as a place people moved to for a "safe" place from catastrophic weather events, but alas, they were hit because of climate change. The rank exploitation of human suffering couldn't be more blatant here.
But worse than that is the obvious problem of disinterest by this administration. It's not the first time, obviously. We saw the incompetence with the Lahaina conflagration. We saw it with East Palestine chemical spill. Now we're seeing it with this storm which smacked the crap out areas of four states. Appalachian areas, where no one would have suspected hurricanes could be a threat are severely cut off from rescue and communication.
And where's this Harris/Biden administration? Pretending they're doing all they can. That would be a bit more credible if they, say, stopped spending our money on illegals and other nonsensical crap and diverted it to Americans so devastatingly in need. Instead, these compassionate assholes went the distance and upped the aid package from $700 (Lahaina) a the staggering $750. Meanwhile, Kamala's keen on making us pay for sex change operations for illegals in custody, for lawyers to fight deportation of illegals, for more border patrol personnel to get more illegals processed after illegally crossing our border. Tens, if not hundreds of billions have already been spent on aiding and abetting the invasion of our nation by illegals with no right to enter in the manner they've been allowed to enter.
Yet for our own, we get lip service, a FEMA more concerned with "equity" than being prepared for disasters like this one. We get a "president" on the beach and a VP presidential wanna-be fund raising in California...two things which couldn't be interrupted to deal with this tragic event. (Oh, yeah...Joe was on the phone for a few hours "taking charge"!) So while these asshole "dug deep" to come up with veritable chump change for Americans who have lost everything, the Harris/Biden jokers, on the same day that Helene hit, the Biden-Harris administration announced another eight billion dollars for Ukraine. One report states that in 2024, these clowns have given:
- $24,400,000,000 to Ukraine.
- $11,300,000,000 to Israel.
- $1,950,000,000 to Ethiopia.
- $1,600,000,000 to Jordan.
- $1,400,000,000 to Egypt.
- $1,100,000,000 to Afghanistan.
- $1,100,000,000 to Somalia.
- $1,000,000,000 to Yemen.
- $987,000,000 to Congo.
- $896,000,000 to Syria.
- $9,000 per illegal immigrant that has entered the U.S.
I've even heard that certain military units are doing nothing because they're still awaiting orders to help. Fort Bragg has assisted in disaster relief many times, but they're motionless the last I heard.
So while Kamala a week later finally has gone to Georgia for photo ops, and Joe has met with some state officials to insult those who don't buy into the bullshit climate change narrative, we see Trump's already answered the call...again...along with Franklin Graham's "Samaritan's Purse", Elon Musk with his Starlink installation (for free) and a host of private citizens utilizing their private small planes and helicopters, boats, trucks and other methods of helping, while the people suffering are wondering where the hell their federal government is.
There is simply no argument in favor of supporting Harris for president. This display of incompetence and lack of compassion is beyond the pale, but it's just one more example in a very long line of examples.
And I can't stop thinking of one particular asshole who dared suggested these two failures are more "fit" to serve as president than had been and still is Donald Trump. How incredibly stupid does one have to be to ever believe something so demonstrably moronic?
<b>ASIDE FROM THAT:</b>
I sent my donation to Samaritan's Purse. Clearly there are many places taking donations to render aid to the many victims of this tragic event, so pick one and give as much as you can. Joe and Kamala aren't doing much of anything.
