I hope Kangz is at least getting paid by the Russians.

If he's doing it for free, that's kinda pathetic.

Today, I announced that the Biden-Harris Administration will provide $100 million to repair I-40, a major artery for western North Carolina.

Critics pointed out, however, that the package was much smaller than the $157 million in foreign humanitarian support Harris had announced for Lebanon the same day.
"The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there," she wrote

"Funding is also available through FEMA's Emergency Food and Shelter program to eligible local governments and not-for-profit organizations upon request to support humanitarian relief for migrants," she added.

TJ,
If the President is so powerless why is the left screaming that if Trump is re-elected he will become a dictator and never leave the White House.

Civics 101 truth Congress writes the bills and controls spending, not the executive branch. In a country where a majority of voters seems to think the President controls everything, it's important to remind everyone of this....

Hey gowilkes, you do realize that CONGRESS has to appropriate funds for disaster relief, right? In other words, CONGRESS controls the purse. This is why every America should be required to take Civics. Some of you just don't know how the government works.

No fema money is going to illegals. Stop lying like Trump!

Y'all really have no clue. $750 isn't the only funding people are being given it's one of the programs fema offers. If you're house was destroyed you can get more money or other resources but $750 is just an initial emergency payment to anyone affected by the storm who needs supplies travel expenses from evacuating. And that $750 is going out to people quickly.

hey mush brains there is no way to defend what they have done.

You can't clean up what is being given to invaders against the meager seven hunded fifty the gov give the people who are American citizens and have lost every thing.

You mor rons are voting against you own children's future What IS NOT being done for the people in such trouble is being watched by the people who won;t be voting for kammie because of it.

It is appalling to the people how out of touch these fools and you dummies are .

I think this will be the nail in the coffin of the former dem party.

They are clearly Americans last.

Excerpt from a CNN interview with Bones Spurs d-i-l:

"You are right that FEMA is giving $750 [to each family]," Bash said. "But that is a first step for immediate needs. It's called serious needs assistance."

Bash's correction got under Lara Trump's skin.

"They are out of money in terms of the hurricane relief," Lara Trump said. "We have another hurricane heading towards Florida right now. But they have said that there is no money right now. Why don't they have anything in order?"

As Lara Trump again tried to deflect from the original line of questioning by saying most help was coming from local citizens, Bash stood firm.

"It is bad there. But my question is about the misinformation, particularly the notion that they are moving money to, you say, undocumented migrants, which FEMA says flatly is not true. If people are not getting correct information and then they can't go for assistance," Bash said before an interruption from Trump.

"You have migrants being housed in luxury hotels in New York City," Lara Trump said. "We have paid so much money from our tax dollars into the crisis. That didn't need to happen."

"That's a separate of money," Bash retorted, visibly tired of having to correct her guest. "That has nothing to do with people in your home state right now."

It's indisputable that the Biden/Harris regime allowed, even invited millions of third world varmints to invade our nation. Some of them criminals and terrorists. That's why I think they should be arrested and tried for treason. Mayorkas, too.

how are sooooo many folks in one place this dang ignorant.?????

interesting fact

Posted 12:15 pm, 10/06/2024

This lying administration and Karine Jean Pierre is denying that FEMA are sources have been used for migrants.



However, on video on Sept 16 2022, she stated, " FEMA Regional administrators have been meeting with city officials on site to coordinate available federal resources from FEMA and other federal agencies. Funding is also available through FEMA's Food and Shelter program to eligible local governments and not for profit organizations upon request to support humanitarian relief for migrants."

Not you just hate it when you lie and then someone has a video of your lies!!

Maybe these folks from Asheville and Chimney Rock need to go to Lebanon or pretend to be an illegal to get some help.

interesting fact

Posted 11:45 am, 10/06/2024

Harris announced on the same day, $100 Million to rebuild I -40 and $140 M to be sent to Lebanon. Now just think about that for one minute.


You have truckers, and businesses using I-40 to bring in supplies and food and merchandise from one coast to the other. $100 M is a drop in the bucket that will be needed. And think about the business that has been destroyed and the people out of work, homeless and without a way to even make a living. And these s in Washington are sending our tax dollars overseas and bringing in illegals to this country. This is the stupidest administration in our nation's history.
