On Monday during his inaugural address, Trump stated that "Our country can no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency, as recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina, who have been treated so badly." "And other states that are still suffering from a hurricane that took place many months ago," he also said. And on Tuesday, he announced that "I'm going to North Carolina, which has been abandoned by the Democrats. I'll be there on Friday." True to his word, Trump, along with First Lady Melania Trump, touched down in the Old North State Friday morning. He was immediately swarmed by the crowd of well-wishers desperate for hope after four months of getting the runaround from FEMA.... ... While there, Trump also floated the possibility of either reforming FEMA or getting rid of it altogether, saying states more so than the feds were in a better position to know the needs of their people. He also indicated the mo...

 David Strom: ... Having worked in government and around politicians, I can assure you that from the perspective of the bureaucratically minded, the dissociation between spending in one area and that of another is indeed totally disconnected.  People in government think in terms of bureaucratic fiefdoms, and the budget of one fiefdom is in a different universe than that of any othe r.  Right-leaning accounts and some Republican members of Congress expressed outrage that Biden was giving money to Africans while many in the southeastern U.S. are still struggling to recover from Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

 Red State: NEW: As People in NC Are Living in Tents in the Cold, Biden Pledges More Money Overseas ...  Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree Look at what’s going on in North Carolina. Look at the shamble that community is in and how FEMA is doing absolutely nothing.

  Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: @RepMTG · Linemen just went on strike in NC after NOT being paid for 8 weeks by FEMA! Kamala’s admin sent electrical transformers and hundreds of billions to Ukraine and FEMA takes care of migrants. But won’t pay our linemen, who want to work & keep helping NC! This makes no sense.  FEMA and the Biden administration should be paying those who are helping North Carolina recover from a devastating storm.  Why are they putting Ukraine ahead of Americans? 

 Headline USA: Western N.C. Hurricane Victims Thank Trump for Giving Them a ‘Shot of Hope’ 'I had in the back of my mind... "If Trump would just show up" ... We need him. We need that shot of hope in the arm. ... We need to know we're going to be OK and not forgotten...' ... ... The flooding was catastrophic in this area and the response of the Biden administration appears inadequate to many in the area.  Biden has offered $750 to people who have lost homes and businesses while he is shipping billions to Ukraine.

  NY Post: Hundreds of special operations personnel in North Carolina have formed their own homegrown rescue and supply operation in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene after they grew tired of waiting for the federal government to get its act together. The Post found an all-volunteer operation being run out of a Harley-Davidson dealership with ruthless efficiency and military precision. “Who’s FEMA?” ex-Green Beret Adam Smith derisively responded when asked about the agency’s presence on the ground since the deadly storm ravaged the rural western part of the state . “This disaster has definitively proven without a shadow of a doubt FEMA’s incompetence and incapability ,” he said, noting that the agency didn’t even show up until Thursday — almost a week after the storm that has killed at least 232, nearly half of them in the mountainous west of the Tar Heel State. ...
