They found 3 people frozen in tents last weekend. FEMA is an agency the DOGE should eliminate. Samaritan’s Purse did more for the people than they did
The last time we checked on North Carolina, it dealt with the after-effects of the deadliest tropical storm in the state’s history – Hurricane Helene.
Much has happened in the nation and the world since then, but I thought doing a status check would be worthwhile.
Recovery efforts are ongoing, but many challenges remain. As we approach Christmas, the state is grappling with how to fund $53 billion worth of repairs to recover from the storm damage.
North Carolina expects the federal government and other private sector funding to provide about $19.9 billion in financial assistance, leaving over $30 billion in damages still uncovered.
On Oct. 9, North Carolina lawmakers passed a $273 million relief bill and a subsequent $604 million package that N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper signed into law Oct. 25. Legislators promised these packages would represent only the first steps toward disaster relief for North Carolinians suffering from the effects of Helene.
But as the immediate impacts of the storm fade, the ongoing recovery efforts have been met with political and financial struggles.
…According to Pryor Gibson, now-interim chief operating officer, the [North Carolina Office of Recovery and Resiliency (NCORR)] needs at least $40 million for each of the next three months to fund its projects. Without these funds, NCORR may not have the ability to continue supporting rebuilding efforts in still-recovering areas throughout the state.
Recently, a spokesperson for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, apologized for the agency failing to deliver dozens of travel trailers and manufactured homes to North Carolina residents displaced by Hurricane Helene. The “apology” came in response to Charlotte station WBTV grilling the representative about the lack of trailers being delivered to impacted families.
Our questions came after a FEMA spokesperson told WBTV the week of Thanksgiving that the agency would deliver a total of 103 temporary travel trailers and manufactured homes to families in North Carolina by the end of that week. At the time, FEMA had delivered 27 homes.
By Wednesday, Dec. 4, FEMA had still only delivered 46 homes — well short of the number of promised temporary homes.
WBTV learned that more than 500 families have been approved for a FEMA travel trailer or manufactured home in the wake of Helene. The agency’s slow deployment of the homes means hundreds of families are weathering the snow and freezing temperatures currently hitting the North Carolina mountains.
Despite that, a FEMA spokesperson initially struck an upbeat tune in an interview with WBTV on Nov. 26. The spokesperson then doubled down on a promise to deliver homes to the more than 500 families who have requested one.
“There could be 500 of these eventually given out?” a WBTV reporter asked.
“Here’s the beautiful part about it, the answer is ‘yes,’ and we’ve done even more. So we can handle it,” said FEMA Media Relations Specialist La-Tanga Hopes.
One suspects the agency’s response will be more robust after January 20th. Let’s hope the good people of North Carolina can hold out by relying on their neighbors.
As temperatures begin to drop for the season, residents told Bender that there are still people in need of a warm place to sleep.
Jenica Grooms owns a local auto body shop. But since Helene, she said she has shifted her focus to building temporary climate-controlled homes for people who are displaced.
“There has been a lack of temporary housing. There’s not a lot of places for people to go. Their hotel vouchers are running out. So our goal is to place these on people’s property.”
Roy Cooper is a liar and a terrible governor
North Carolina Straining to Fund Hurricane Relief Efforts Over Two Months After Helene
It wasn’t as if the Tar Heel State didn’t see Hurricane Helene coming. On Sept. 25, one day before Helene stormed ashore, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper declared a state of emergency as the storm’s path showed it churning northward toward Appalachia after making landfall in Florida.
Yet that advance declaration was not followed by any state evacuation orders, and the population largely sheltered in place as Helene hit the steep, wooded hills of Western North Carolina, squatting over the area, unleashing more than an inch of water an hour for more than a day.
The unprecedented, relentless downpour, falling on ground already saturated by rain the week before, tore old pines and hardwoods out by the roots, creating arboreal torpedoes that rocketed down the steep inclines; water that turned photogenic stony creeks into whitewater torrents, lifting ancient streambed boulders and tossing them like chips on to roads and into homes and buildings.
The storm left 230 people dead, nearly half of them in North Carolina, with dozens still missing as of early November.
As residents in Asheville, Chimney Creek, and other smaller communities continue to pick up from the carnage, after-action reports indicate government agencies at the federal and state levels were slow to react.
Interviews with several private relief groups that sprang into action after Helene, along with statistics provided by congressional sources, indicate that Cooper’s office and the Biden administration were slow to activate military personnel and assets like helicopters that were critical in the days after the storm.
In addition, budgetary moves and internal communications have also drawn questions about how the Federal Emergency Management Agency is spending its money and how it envisioned its purpose in a Biden administration suffused with “diversity, equity, and inclusion” mandates.
FEMA is also wrestling with revelations that politics had influenced some of its relief efforts. The agency fired a staffer who told crews to avoid houses in storm-damaged parts of Florida that displayed Donald Trump campaign signs. The dismissed worker said this week her orders were not an isolated incident and that FEMA avoided “politically hostile” zones in the Carolinas, too.
Who is biased now? Who discriminated against because of politics? Who weaponized government agencies. Well, here comes the truth.
North Carolina was hit as hard as any state. Whole towns were wiped out. I saw the damage personally as I was in one of them. Thank God for Samritan’s Purse because that is who helped people, not FEMA.
Now this.
Avoiding helping Trump supporters was a nationwide policy, according to the woman who was fired for putting it in writing.
The purpose of doing so, we are told, is that Trump supporters are dangerous to FEMA workers, and therefore should be avoided.
I don’t know to what extent the accusation that Trump supporters are any more likely to be hostile to FEMA workers, but if so, I am pretty sure that cause and effect are reversed. Obviously, Trump supporters who suspect that FEMA was doing its best not to help them were right, and since that is the case, they have every reason to be less than friendly to FEMA workers.
However, I seriously doubt there is much to the accusation in the first place. After all, there are countless videos of people in hurricane-ravaged areas begging for help. No doubt there is some Trump supporter somewhere who was nasty to a FEMA worker after being left to suffer for days, but the claim that this was a trend is…doubtful.
FEMA is, after all, part of the Department of Homeland Security, and under DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas nothing good has happened, and lots that is evil has. This is the man who controlled the porous border, is the boss of the Secret Service, and who has presided over disasters aplenty.
I doubt there will be justice and the people who suffered are still recovering. It’s not because of FEMA, it’s because of their neighbors and church organizations. We can’t clean house fast enough of these haters.
An angry black woman is not going silently. She’s going to rat out the whole FEMA for being Anti-Trump. This should be interesting.
FEMA is now facing a massive scandal—one so explosive it threatens to shake the foundation of this clearly weaponized organization. The scandal involves an anti-Trump supervisor who ordered her team to avoid helping hurricane-ravaged homeowners with “pro-Trump” signs. Well, there’s been a turn of events, and this story has officially gone nuclear.
The black female supervisor was ultimately fired, and FEMA issued one of their typical ‘outraged’ statements, claiming shock that something so racist and inhumane could happen on their watch. But the bigwigs at FEMA might regret those words soon enough, because this supervisor is singing like a canary.
As it turns out, this supervisor isn’t planning to take the fall alone. She’s claiming that the anti-Trump, politicized atmosphere runs through the entire organization and comes straight from the top. Essentially, she’s using the old “I was just following orders” excuse, but in doing so, she’s blowing this scandal wide open in ways that could be unimaginable—and could spell the downfall of this weaponized federal organization.
After everything we’ve been through these past four years, does this story really surprise anyone? Is there a single organization left in the US that hasn’t been weaponized and bastardized by the left?

A supervisor for the Federal Emergency Management Agency directed disaster relief workers in Florida to “avoid homes” with signs endorsing President-elect Donald Trump, the agency confirmed on Friday.
Marn’i Washington, a FEMA official, gave her directive both verbally and via a Microsoft Teams chat used by relief workers following the devastation caused by Hurricane Milton in October, the Daily Wire reported.
“Avoid homes advertising Trump,” Washington wrote in a “best practices” memo to staff.
It’s past time to get rid of these people. They are everything they accused Trump and his supporters of.
As the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) carries out widely criticized responses to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, officials say the agency’s Disaster Recovery Fund is incapable of handling a third major storm. While some are circulating false accusations that disaster funds have been diverted to immigrants or poured into the proxy war in Ukraine, a review of the agency’s 2024 outlays reveals a different, ongoing drain on FEMA’s coffers: Long after the end of the declared Covid-19 emergency, FEMA is still pumping out billions of dollars to pay for pandemic expenses — including, believe it or not, up to $9,000 each for funerals.
As previously detailed here at Stark Realities, governments’ response to the Covid-19 pandemic was disastrous on many fronts. While the Pandora’s box of collateral damage included widespread harm to the physical and mental health of individuals, it also dealt a blow to the nation’s fiscal well-being, as the federal government recklessly showered trillions of dollars it didn’t have on people, businesses and state and local governments — with much of that money intended to offset the effects of government’s own tyrannical and counterproductive policies.
The Biden-Harris Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) says it has temporarily suspended certain Hurricane Helene relief operations in several North Carolina communities due to perceived threats against federal aid workers. According to FEMA, federal disaster relief operations were halted in Rutherford County after the agency received reports from the National Guard that an “armed militia” was allegedly threatening relief workers.
“For the safety of our dedicated staff and the disaster survivors we are helping, FEMA has made some operational adjustments,” an agency spokesman said in a statement on Monday. They added: “Disaster Recovery Centers will continue to be open as scheduled, survivors continue to register for assistance, and we continue to help the people of North Carolina with their recovery.”
It turned out to be just one guy, the whole NC militia was one guy, FEMA is just that incompetent.
Should have just let the locals fix everything and give them the money. They did the work and all the help anyway, them and Samaritan’s Purse
If FEMA is worse than useless during hurricanes, it isn’t because the moonbat bureaucrats in charge bestowed all the money upon illegal aliens. Some of the money went to promoting transgenderism and DEI:
In the last 2 years, FEMA spent nearly $2 million on a sole source contract with Montage Marketing Group to promote extremist LGBTQ and DEI agendas. …
Montage was hired to implement FEMA’s “Inclusive Diversity Council” and work with FEMA’s “employee resource groups” (ERGs) that focus on leftist social agendas, including an LGBT advocacy group simply called “Pride.” Montage was tasked with promoting the “Transgender Day of Remembrance” through graphic design and video production.
Promoting degeneracy and sexual depravity may not be as important as displacing the American population with unlawful invaders from the Third World, but it takes priority over helping rural white people whose homes have washed away.
The federal level of incompetence could not be achieved without the help of DEI:
Another FEMA top priority is making sure they don’t have too many white people working in the agency, stating that diversity, equity, and inclusion is not optional. The FEMA director told Congress in 2023 the agency was adapting its recruiting efforts to hire “minorities.”
More social engineering:
FEMA further dictates to their employees that bathroom use must be based on a person’s self-identified sex, not biological sex, and employees must not misgender or fail to use a person’s preferred pronouns.
Reality itself takes a back seat to moonbat ideology, so victims of Helene and Milton shouldn’t take their abandonment personally.
Oh, they are there. I’ve seen them here in NC, but they aren’t doing anything other than take up space (where our Farmers Market usually is, they had to move) and act like the 10 men doing road construction. At least 9 just stand around and one guy digs. I haven’t seen FEMA do anything. Samaritan’s Purse and Alliance Baptist Church along with the locals the, on the ground army.
Save the tax money and get rid of FEMA. They are only helping the illegals.
Charitable Organizations Step Up in North Carolina Amid Hurricane Helene Devastation
n the aftermath of Hurricane Helene—even before Hurricane Milton followed in its wake—nonprofit charitable organizations such as Samaritan’s Purse and Save Our Allies stepped up to help the storm’s victims.
The president of Samaritan’s Purse, Franklin Graham, told The Daily Signal in a telephone interview that one of the positive things he has seen is neighbor helping neighbor.
“If you’re going to sit in your house or your apartment waiting for the government to come—well, good luck. You’re going to be waiting a long time,” said Graham, the son of the legendary late evangelist the Rev. Billy Graham.
If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?
Samaritan’s Purse..
They are the group that has helped the Helene victims the most. They have the people’s interest in mind, both body and soul, more than everyone else.
The government hasn’t done much more than get in the way, but a week before FEMA came, Samaritan’s Purse was set up, cleaning up and distributing aid and medical assistance.
nuff said.
The federal government has failed miserably in helping those affected by Hurricane Helene.
Mayorkas caused more trouble when he said FEMA doesn’t have enough money.
The letter doesn’t provide many specifics. I doubt Mayorkas will give any answers soon.
“FEMA has wasted taxpayer funds, misappropriated funds, and left other federal, state, and local responders without deployment orders on the ground,” wrote Gaetz. “As reported and further confirmed by my office, hundreds, if not thousands of service members were deployed by the Department of Defense to North Carolina and have sat idle, waiting for FEMA.”
Gaetz continued: “We have confirmed FEMA employees deployed, on the clock, awaiting orders in the hotel. FEMA pre-disaster aid was withheld, exacerbating the emergency. It is also public that NGOs have purchased airline tickets for migrants through the use of FEMA funds.”
Gaetz wants Mayorkas to answer these questions by October 11:
FEMA Whistleblowers Allege Waste, Including Deployed Employees Sitting Idle in Hotels
Perhaps the most fitting image of the Biden-Harris administration’s response to the destruction of Hurricane Helene — and Vice President Kamala Harris’ time in office — is that staged photo of a pensive-looking VP sitting at a table on Air Force Two with what appears to be blank pages before her.
The photo, posted on Harris’ official X account, was manufactured to illustrate how the Democrat presidential nominee was springing into action days after the Category 4 hurricane pounded a wide swath of the Southeast. It was a CYA moment after the political climber, like part-time President Joe Biden, was caught flat-footed on the campaign trail. Harris’ opponent, former President Donald Trump, like many others, rightly lambasted the phony photo-op, calling it “Another FAKE and STAGED photo from someone who has no clue what she is doing,”
story
A shocking firsthand account from a SpaceX engineer in storm-battered North Carolina reveals that Biden-Harris’ Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) blocked shipments of critical goods for relief efforts into the region. There have been numerous reports this week of FEMA actively hindering relief efforts in the western part of the state, including threatening private helicopter pilots with arrests for conducting rescue missions. We also learned that the Biden-Harris administration drained FEMA funds to support illegal aliens, prioritizing non-citizens (future voters) over American citizens.
Around lunchtime, Elon Musk shared a dire message from one of his SpaceX engineers on the ground in the storm-ravaged state. Musk said, “FEMA is not merely failing to adequately help people in trouble, but is actively blocking citizens who try to help!”
If you have been awake these last several days, you will know all about how the aspiring First Gentleman, Doug Emhoff, publicly slapped a former girlfriend so hard she spun around. I believe, but am not sure of the chronology, that that was after Emhoff inseminated the nanny he and his former wife had engaged to, well, possibly to help him in his task of “redefining masculinity.”
Let us draw a veil. It is impossible to distribute air-sickness bags through the internet, and I do not want my readers left with so nauseating a spectacle as Kamala Harris’s repulsive husband.
I realize, though, that, should you be so unfortunate as to acquire your news from the Propaganda Press—from The New York Times or The Washington Post, say, or from CNN, MSNBC, or the other legacy media outlets, it is doubtful that you will have run across the true story about Emhoff.
The reason is that telling that story would violate The Narrative that the Propaganda Press exists to support—whatever that Narrative happens to be today.
As an aside, I have often wondered where the scribes and pundits that staff the ranks of the Propaganda Press go to get their daily marching orders about The Narrative. Does it somehow arrive with the morning oat milk and boiled, free-range egg? Or is it a subtler process, akin to the way bees perform dances to inform their fellows where the nectar is? I suspect the process may be closer to what happens when a body dies. Within minutes, or even seconds, various insects are attracted to the corpse. They lay their eggs, much like a New York Times reporter files his story and the putrefaction proceeds.
However it happens, the Propaganda Press is always au courant. Had Doug Emhoff been a Republican, you can be sure a detailed chronicle of his misdeeds would be swelling the news cycle like a distended corpse. Cast your mind back to what the media did to Mitt Romney—Mitt Romney!—when he had the temerity to run against The Chosen One in 2008. He picked on a kid in high school. He rode to a summer vacation spot with his dog on the roof of his car. Really, you can’t make it up.
Of course, that was small beer compared to the disgusting fury that was unleashed against Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings in 2019.
Those looking for the origin story of this partisan smear machine often adduce the campaign against Judge Robert Bork during his confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court under Ronald Reagan. That unseemly episode, which had media trolls sifting through Bork’s trash and movie rentals for incriminating tidbits, culminated in Ted “Chappaquiddick” “waitress-sandwich” Kennedy’s scurrilous denunciation of Bork on the Senate floor. That original instance of character assassination even contributed a new verb to the language: to bork.
All that is one side of what the Regime Party is about. Another side has been on view these last several days as the destruction and human misery left in the wake of Hurricane Helene has haltingly become public. As I write, the official death toll of that disaster is somewhere around 300. Reports from people on the ground say it is much higher, probably around 2000.
Quite apart from the human toll exacted by the storm, there are two things to note about the response of our government and the Propaganda Press struggling to control what reports leak out about that response.
First, notwithstanding the efforts of the Propaganda Press to keep a lid on the facts, it is now widely known that FEMA, the chief federal agency in charge of responding to such disasters, has failed miserably. What initially sparked public outrage was Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s statement that, sorry, but the agency was out of money. He’d love to help but the “funds” were not there.
That was quickly followed by the news that, over the last 18 months or so, the Biden-Harris administration had spent some $1.4 billion to house, tend, and cater to illegal migrants (and how many billions have been siphoned off to Ukraine?). Hundreds of thousands of those migrants were salted around the country, especially to vulnerable counties in red states, where they were provided with cash stipends and housing at taxpayer expense. I note that Mayorkas, as head of the HSS, is also in charge (under “Border Czar” Kamala Harris) of that porous figment, the Southern border.
News that FEMA had plenty of money for migrants but none for the citizens of North Carolina and Tennessee was met with rage, especially as horrific stories of the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene piled up.
However, that fury was tame compared to the response to the news that not only was FEMA inert but also that it was actively hampering private efforts to aid those in distress. Probably the most high-profile such story came from Elon Musk, who described in several posts on X how his efforts to bring Starlink terminals to those without internet were being actively hampered by FEMA.
If it was Trump, the Emhoff would be nonstop until he is out of office for good. FEMA failure would be front page and the top of the hour, every hour.
Not only has FEMA blown all their funds on illegals, leaving just a measly $750 for each desperate American, but Joe Biden—the so-called “president”—doesn’t even know which storm disaster he flew over to gawk at recently. While Americans are suffering and scrambling for help, Biden insists everyone’s as happy as pigs in you-know-what. Do you believe that? Of course not. It’s a cruel game of political smoke and mirrors.
Either Kamala is the most tone-deaf, out-of-touch person on the planet, or she just doesn’t care that you see her globalist agenda. Maybe it’s a bit of both. But it’s not just Kamala—the entire left-wing apparatus is running under the same dangerous globalist playbook. And if you think FEMA hasn’t been weaponized, think again. This unearthed clip is all the proof you need to see how yet another once-sacred institution has become a total slave to the progressive DEI agenda, which isn’t just sweeping the nation—it’s destroying it.
As you can see, FEMA is no longer focused on helping suffering Americans. Their priority now is pushing diversity and propping up the LGBTQ agenda.
great, when people need help, they want to be woke
Americans across several states are suffering and attempting to survive under unimaginably harsh conditions, without food and water, in that aftermath of Hurricane Helene which tore across ten states in the Southeast last week, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. And a week later, these people have found that they are largely on their own, as all the real help that has arrived has come through the efforts of individuals and nonprofit groups such as Samaritan Purse, Mountain Mule Packers Ranch, Save Our Allies and Aerial Recovery, which has exposed the fact — to anyone who didn’t already know — that the Biden regime doesn’t give a good damn about them, as Biden and his minions have engaged in not just dereliction of duty but the worst betrayal of the American people ever witnessed, since the birth of the nation.
Joe Biden, the placeholder-in-chief, showed up in Georgia [10-3-24] to give lip-service to the disaster and made promises of money to come, some twenty million dollars, and a recovery that will supposedly be totally undertaken by the federal government. No one should hold their breath waiting on that help to arrive, but if it does, they can bet the farm it will come with the intent of helping Biden special interest groups and supporters first.
Americans should note: $20 million for the victims of Helene and well over $640 million for illegal aliens and approximately $180 BILLION for Ukraine. When does THIS Damned MADNESS Stop!?!
It’s an astounding matter that despite assertions of nineteen thousand National Guardsmen and FEMA workers already being on the ground in those states most severely affected, from Florida to Tennessee and Georgia and on to the horrific situation near Asheville, North Carolina, no one can find them, as FEMA workers are simply sitting in their trucks and sending out mass emails with an app for the victims of Helene to use to apply for financial help, rebuilding their homes, and most importantly finding a way to have food and water and medicines sent their way as soon as possible — THIS in areas where there currently isn’t electricity or any cellphone reception and internet.
It’s a curious thing to witness this tragic situation compounded by the inaction of the federal government and federal workers, agencies and the U.S. military all missing in action as the victims keep asking where all these mysterious government workers are supposedly delivering aid and much needed necessities to anyone.
Where is the federal government? No one has seen much of an inkling from it yet.
For survivors in the Asheville, North Carolina area, Mountain Mule Packer Ranch has left this number — 910-885-1402 — for anyone who knows of specific needs and areas where they can be of assistance with their mule trains.
The military should have been brought up immediately and released under Title 10 to immediately render aid throughout all regions devastated by Hurricane Helene which has killed over 224 people and counting to date, with thousands of more people missing and their whereabouts unaccounted, especially with Ft Bragg right there in North Carolina and Ft Benning in Georgia. Several individual volunteers like John Howard, with Aerial Recovery, have told of speaking with various military units that were on the ground but awaiting authorization and orders to release them to act, including two Air Force helicopters that were simply sitting idle at the Asheville Airport.
You have probably seen many of the same videos I have, in which North Carolina residents are begging for help and wondering where FEMA is. Aside from funding migrants, that is. It seems to be doing a fine job at that, exhausting the funds that should be going to help Helene’s victims.
Here’s the underlying reason why they aren’t getting any help.
As always, get woke and go broke. They say there is no money for Hurricane relief. There is no money for republican voters.
Diversity ruins everything it touches
Obama-Harris whisperer David Axelrod, host of the “Axe Files” podcast, said the quiet part out loud as the Biden Regime blocks ongoing rescue operations in North Carolina.
Axelrod said Hurricane Helene victims in North Carolina are mainly Trump voters who will find it hard to vote in the 2024 election.
David Axelrod said affected Democrats from Asheville are “upscale liberal voters, and they’re probably going to figure out a way to vote. I’m not sure a bunch of these folks who had their homes and lives destroyed elsewhere, in western North Carolina, in the mountains, there are going to be as easy to wrangle for the Trump campaign.”
Alternatively, Trump did this.
And then the goal of FEMA, Equity instead of relief
What’s really important to them?
Delusions of Adequacy
