As Hurricane Milton is nearing landfall, victims of Hurricane Helene are still waiting for supplies and rescue. Meanwhile, FEMA says it doesn\u2019t have enough funding to last the hurricane season and taxpayers in the affected areas are undoubtedly having buyer\u2019s remorse over all the funds Congress has allocated to Ukraine and Israel.
The issue, it seems, is the American people don\u2019t really do anything for the elite in this country. Sure, everyday people make up the tax base and quite literally are the economic engine that led to the 1%\u2019s great fortunes, but that\u2019s expected. Ukraine and Israel are new and exciting. Big bombs and bigger contracts, that\u2019s the way to a president\u2019s heart.
Volodymyr Zelensky is willing to kidnap his own people and send them to die simply to hold off his defeat until after the US presidential elections. Benjamin Netanyahu is genociding a population so the West can have a forward operating base in the Middle East.
What has North Carolina done for America recently? They\u2019ve been coasting on that \u201cfirst in flight\u201d tagline for far too long.
Last week, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre admitted that only $4 million had been sent directly to hurricane victims. That number has likely increased in the week since but it is still a pathetically paltry sum a full week after Hurricane Helene hit. Meanwhile, FEMA keeps touting its top-line number of $286 million, which has primarily been given out to well-connected aid organizations that filled out the organization\u2019s \u201cVendor Profile Forum,\u201d enabling it to engage in \u201cbusiness with FEMA\u201d (their words) if approved.
And even that number pales in comparison to what the government spent on previous major hurricanes, like Katrina and Andrew.
Maybe it is time for Americans to accept the facts. When it comes to the ruling elite and the Biden administration, they just aren\u2019t that into you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
