You’ve probably heard of a hurricane called Helene that made landfall more than a week ago and caused what may turn out to be the worst natural disaster in American history. A lot of people say it’s already among the worst, with the official death toll, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, at 230.
The storm laid waste to much of the American south, even hitting far inland into Western North Carolina, bulldozing entire towns off the map. People are trapped behind log-jammed roads with no electricity or internet service, no phones, no food, no way to call for help, or some combination of these things. Social media reports from regular people on the ground who live in the areas affected report little federal or national guard help, and a lot of red tape and government interference. Elon Musk himself reports that his SpaceX staff was thwarted from delivering satellite phone equipment by overzealous federal officials.
Amid all of this, FEMA and the feds generally want all of us to put on a happy face. They seem more upset about quelling what they call rumors (and some are, and will turn out to be false) than about acknowledging why Americans don’t trust a thing they say. This Associated Press article reeks of a leftist-transcription-for-the-government service that falsely tells the public it is a news outlet.
Can we question the skepticism of any American toward FEMA when they’re devoting taxpayer dollars—and desperately short time—to things like this?
Just watch this absurdity below:
It’s more than a minute and a half of gender-confused “LGBTQIA” people moaning about how hard society oppresses them every single minute of the day. It is fair to ask: have any of these people ever met anyone who has lost everything in a disaster?
Let’s see what others on X had to say.
Politics and bedfellows, eh?
A question on more minds every day.
Do you agree with Western Lensman?
