That FEMA has spent all of is emergency budget money on illegal migrants, and has nothing left for Americans who have suffered catastrophic losses is a Tyranical Travesty of insult aggravating their tragic losses.
This Tyranical Regime has no acceptable excuse for this behavior.
They should all resign, and suspend their campaigns.
You know what FEMA’s been doing? They have been confiscating relief supplies–or trying to–from private individuals and charity groups, including respected outfits like Samaritan’s Purse. They’ve been threatening to arrest private pilots who are using their own aircraft at their own expense to deliver emergency supplies and rescue stranded families. They have tried to block roads–roads that were cleared by private individuals-- to prevent delivery of private relief supplies.
Confiscating private property in a disaster zone…sure sounds like looting to me.
They are despicable.
I know someone who is there helping that said that is BS. Roads they won’t let people use is because they have not been checked for safety issuses. Another friend is bring a 53 foot trailer of supplies into a Church today.
To hell with looting, the feds are actively harming Americans. I call that treason
And yet I have seen video of a volunteer fire chief threatening to arrest a private helicopter pilot for rescuing a woman off a cliff. Then, less than 24 hrs later, the same pilot was welcomed back to continue his flights. I have also seen the video of a county sheriff confiscating private donations and sending them all the the local armory for “inventory, sorting, and distribution” for absolutely no valid (or legal) reason. FEMA tried to commandeer a truckload of supplies from Samaritan’s Purse which was destined for local churches to distribute. When a FEMA person was finally willing to speak on camera to explain their actions, the best this person could come up with was that FEMA was concerned that “these country church people might mis-gender some of the volunteers and trigger them.” Utter BS and naked aggression to obtain power and control. Also a bit of azz covering because even FEMA can see how useless they appear.
And the ultimate slap in the face to American citizens by the purveyors of joy in Washington:
This just in: that $750 from FEMA for disaster victims? IT’S A LOAN! Must be repaid and is secured by a lien against real property. Pay up or lose your home–what’s left of it.
FEMA and their enablers must be held accountable.
Go figure… most all red state voters. Next they will say these states don’t need to bother voting. And surely there should be no guns allowed. We’ll just let’m all starve on the rooftops. After all, we have 20 million illegals to feed. 
Sad, but their reasoning rots!
All we have to do is look at East Palestine, Ohio today to find the answer.

US officials struggle to quash Hurricane Helene conspiracy theories (msn.com)
By Stephanie Kelly
(Reuters) - In the wake of the devastation of Hurricane Helene in the United States this week, a new storm emerged on social media - false rumors about how disaster funds have been used, and even claims that officials control the weather.

Local and national government officials say they are trying to combat the rumors, including one spread by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
One of the more far-fetched rumors is that Helene was an engineered storm to allow corporations to mine regional lithium deposits. Others accuse the administration of President Joe Biden of using federal disaster funds to help migrants in the country illegally, or suggest officials are deliberately abandoning bodies in the cleanup.

Republican Congress member Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on X Thursday night: “Yes they can control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”
The conspiracy theories come at a pivotal time for rescue and recovery efforts following the storm, one of the deadliest U.S. hurricanes this century. And the presidential election between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is just over a month away.
Republicans and Democrats alike say the rumors are causing problems.
“I just talked to one Senator that has had 15 calls TODAY about why we don’t stop … ‘fill in the blank,’” said Kevin Corbin, a Republican in the North Carolina Senate - a state that is one of the hardest hit by Helene. “98% chance it’s not true and if it is a problem, somebody is aware and on it,” he wrote on Facebook.
“I’m growing a bit weary of intentional distractions,” he added.
White House officials on Friday accused some Republican leaders and conservative media of intentionally peddling rumors to divide Americans in a way that could harm disaster relief efforts.

“Disinformation of this kind can discourage people from seeking critical assistance when they need it most,” a White House memo said. “It is paramount that every leader, whatever their political beliefs, stops spreading this poison.”

The memo highlighted a claim by Trump during a rally this week that Biden and Harris had used federal emergency funds “on people that should not be in our country.”
“This is FALSE,” the memo said. “No disaster relief funding at all was used to support migrants housing and services. None. At. All.”
In response to a request for comment for this article, the Trump campaign repeated accusations that FEMA funds had been spent on housing migrants in the country illegally.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has the funds for immediate response and recovery efforts for Helene, the White House memo said, and has provided millions of dollars in relief to those recovering.
FEMA has been the target of so many falsehoods it has set up a rumor response page on its website to try to tamp them down.
Helene slammed into Florida a week ago and has killed over 200 people and devastated a half dozen states in the U.S. Southeast.
Some officials are trying to combat the disinformation themselves on social media. Katie Keaotamai, who works at FEMA but said she was speaking on social media in a personal capacity, explained FEMA’s disaster response processes in several TikTok posts with thousands of views.
Disaster events are often politicized, said Kate Starbird, co-founder of the Center for an Informed Public at the University of Washington, adding that social media rewards “sensationalism and outrage with attention.”
“Manipulating the sensemaking process (e.g. spreading conspiracy theories and disinformation) and politicizing the event will both make it harder to respond and recover now — and to make informed decisions about how to prepare for and mitigate the next one,” Starbird said.

“FEMA is not merely failing to adequately help people in trouble, but is actively blocking citizens who try to help!”
Musk shared a dire warning from one of his engineers on the ground:
"Hey Elon, update here on site of Asheville, NC. We have powered up two large operating bases for choppers to deliver goods into hands. We’ve deployed 300+ starlinks and outpour is it has saved many lives.“The big issue is FEMA is actively blocking shipments and seizing goods and services locally and locking them away to state they are their own. It’s very real and scary how much they have taken control to stop people helping. We are blocked now on the shipments of new starlinks coming in until we get an escort from the fire dept. but that may not be enough.”
The actions of FEMA, and the government in general has been outrageous. Sorry, we spent all our money on our new demoncrat voters they said.
Similar to the set-up in Hawaii after the fire they caused. Total BS.
I am too far away to help the people there, but, if I could I would organize an armed escort service to make sure that necessary supplies were able to get through the blockade without delay. The days of just rolling over and “going along to get along” have long past. It is time to introduce the workers to the masters. Get-R-Done.
Sorry, no thumbs. Just can’t. 
Don’t trust the government agencies or politicians to tell the truth. The uniparty is at play again.
Maybe if you had bothered to read it you would find out that is what I was trying to say. 
WTF? FEMA GFY!
FEMA is another agency of the
Department of Homeland Security,
like the USSS U.S. Secret Service,
and CPB Customs & Boarder Protection
under Alejandro Mayorkas was sworn in as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security by President Biden.
Useless is as useless does not do anything…
That constitutes theft and murder, if those are NOT high crimes and misdemeanors, then NOTHING is 
This is too much to discuss without me setting the world on fire!
Arresting people for saving their neighbors, that’s disgustingly new.
If we don’t lie, cheat and steal this election, that will be all of us in the year 2025!
I am sorry. I didn’t connect the first sentence. You would assume at my age that I would know better. Any time I see Reuters I flinch. Figured out they are another shill for knee pads and tampon.
I know, we read the headlines and form an opinion, bad kitty. We all do it.
