America, are you getting tired of being put last, yet??
I get it. If you’re not part of the thousands of Americans that are now living in 3rd world conditions, as a result of Hurricane Helene, your dismay, anger and outrage probably aren’t cresting past a head shake, a meme, some snark on X or other social.
When you walk to the fridge and open it, it’s cold, the light comes on and you know your food (that cost you 3 times what it did 4 years ago) won’t be going bad in 24 hours. Matter of fact, you actually have a floor to walk on, roof over your head, a closet with clothes in it, all your family pics and important papers and your loved ones sitting across from you - because they weren’t washed away and drown, in muddy debris filled waters.
So, I do get it, yes we all feel bad, but only to certain points - which stop short of outrage and actually taking action.
That detachment, allows things like this.

American citizens come last every time - even when the regime knows hurricane season comes the same time each year. Of course 6 months ago the planning priority, for spending your tax dollars, was not the American people, but illegals and the NGO’s that traffic them into the country.
Before you read this though, just a reminder of what some of your fellow - put last, tax paying - citizens are dealing with. Try reframing your perspective (step into their shoes) as you think about a few things from the comfort of your living room:
These are not people who live in a hurricane zone and didn’t built a house on a beach that get’s hit multiple times a year.
These people probably have no flood insurance, because why the hell would you need it, in the mountains.
These people are looking at weeks if not months without power, water, gas, a car, an income, medicine, medical treatment, their own clothes and maybe access to the “outside’ world.
This all should be beyond troubling, if you’ve successfully imaged yourselves, sitting in a tent, shelter or washed out neighborhood, wondering how and when life will get back to normal.
Coming back to reality, for those of you who’ve ever “endured” power outages for hours or even days - multiply the cost, loss, disruption, inconvenience and frustration you experienced, by 1 million.
Even more troubling, the regime has been sending electrical grid infrastructure supplies and pledges to do more of the same, under the cackler.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE

For Immediate Release
FACT SHEET
November 29, 2022In the midst of Russia’s continued brutal attacks against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, Secretary of State Blinken announced today during a meeting of the G7+ on the margins of the NATO Ministerial in Bucharest that the United States government is providing over $53 million to support acquisition of critical electricity grid equipment.

US Vice-President Kamala Harris has pledged a $1.5bn (£1.18bn) package of aid to Ukraine, mostly for the country's energy sector.
The funding, announced at a Ukraine peace summit in Switzerland, will help repair infrastructure damaged by Russian bombardments.
So, lets see read below, what’s left for the lowly, American taxpayer…Oh wait, sorry, that’s the DHS’s listing of what the “New Americans” get. Silly me.
Might be worth a read and remember, those people who have had their entire lives washed away, in some cases that includes wives, husbands, mothers, fathers and children rightly assume, like you and I, that their citizenship entitles them (through funding of the government) protections and support, in times of need and disaster.
And if some of you are scoffing and saying, yea right…ask yourselves why is it OK and do we accept, that our government is that dysfunctional???
Department of Homeland Security Announces $300 Million in Direct Funding to Communities Receiving Migrants and $340 Million for A New Competitive Awards Process
Release Date: April 12, 2024
DHS continues to provide unprecedented resources to support border & interior communities while calling on Congress to act
WASHINGTON – Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), announced $300 million in grants through the Shelter and Services Program (SSP), which was authorized by Congress to support communities that are providing services to migrants. $275 million will be distributed in the first allocation, and the remaining $25 million will be allocated later in the year to accommodate evolving operational requirements. The initial funding will be available to 55 grant recipients for temporary shelter and other eligible costs associated with migrants awaiting the outcome of their immigration proceedings. Additionally, the Department is announcing $340.9 million through the Shelter and Services Program-Competitive grant program to be allocated before the end of this Fiscal Year.
Today’s announcement responds to feedback from recipients in terms of providing additional flexibilities and an opportunity for new recipients through the competitive program, while continuing to require budget submissions and review prior to releasing funds, which is standard practice at FEMA. It also builds on the support being provided to communities on the border and in the interior. Last year, more than $780 million awarded through SSP and the Emergency Food and Shelter Program – Humanitarian Awards (EFSP-H) funding in Fiscal Year 2023 which went to organizations and cities across the country. DHS also works to streamline and improve access to work permits for eligible noncitizens, including through the announcement last week of a temporary final rule to increase the automatic extension period for certain employment authorization documents to prevent a lapse for work-authorized individuals to be in the workforce, supporting local economies.
DHS efforts to manage and secure our borders in a safe, orderly, and humane way include support for communities, as well as strengthened consequences for those without a lawful basis to remain and an expansion of lawful pathways that have helped reduce the number of encounters from specific populations. From May 12, 2023 to April 3, 2024, DHS has removed or returned over 660,000 individuals, the vast majority of whom crossed the Southwest Border, including more than 102,000 individual family members. The majority of all individuals encountered at the southwest border over the past three years have been removed, returned, or expelled. Total removals and returns since mid-May exceed removals and returns in every full fiscal year since 2011.
Due to the substantial demand that exceeds the limited SSP program funding authorized by Congress, not all requests can be fulfilled. DHS continues to call on Congress to pass the bipartisan border security agreement, which would in part provide an additional $1.4 billion in SSP funds, and provide additional needed tools and resources to respond to historic global migration.

Last thought - if they hadn’t opened the borders and decimated the immigration system, where do you think all that money could have been used???
I’m sure there are some very tired, cold, hungry and traumatized Americans in FL, GA, KY, TN and NC, that would benefit greatly - but they are and will always be put last, with you and I, so long as the progressive. liberal. marxist scumbags sit in seats of power.
Let's hope this wakes some more people up to the fact that government *can't* save us and can't take care of us. It's impossible. There's a reason none of these agencies are in the constitution. The founders of the Republic knew from experience that government is good at maybe 2 things. Everything else should be left to people and charities. When bad times happen to me and our community, the last thing we do here is ask where the FEMA workers are! My Grandmother learned her lesson during Hurricane Charlie in the early 1990's when she told me it took them 10 days to get water to them. WE have to be the answer. As devastating as this event has been, look at who's already putting things back together and helping each other... it's the people. NOT "the government" . We need to make government obsolete. The way we do that is by rejecting them and learn how to care for ourselves and our communities like it used to be in America.
I think most people have NO IDEA that all this is PLANNED, that the previous "disasters" were PLANNED, that America is on a plan to be DESTROYED, and that it's all part of a bigger PLAN to disrupt the entire planet and take out MOST OF WE THE PEEPS.
Well, it's soooo outrageous that I can see why people simply can't go there... Because censorship and bullshit, but also because it's so fricken insane that many of us who DO have a line on it refuse to believe such insanity...
It will be like in the movie "Fourth of July" where the people went to the top of the hotel, on the roof, to WELCOME the aliens, who then blew them all away with DEWS-like weapons.
