North Carolina.

I’m not going to reprint images of dead Americans in the flood waters. While FEMA and the Biden/Harris administration hem, haa, lie, double talk, coverup, make excuses, and refuse to take responsibility for their failure of leadership — since they lack any semblance of leadership.

As of this writing over 200 Americans dead. Hundreds still missing and unaccounted for. THOUSANDS stranded. Can’t get to them. Except perhaps by helicopter drop of some food and supplies. Families with children.

Americans. Hardworking American taxpayers. Family people. Salt of the earth people.

What does the Biden/Harris administration do with money set aside for FEMA for national emergencies such as this massive hurricane and humanitarian crisis?

Wasn’t making sure Alejandro Mayorkas was installed as Homeland Security Secretary a great pick and appointment! Boy, the Biden/Harris administration and U.S. Congress did their homework and got that right, eh!?

Why they spend over $1,400,000,000 on illegal immigrants. To make sure they are housed. Given money. Whatever they need. Whether they are criminals, insane, potential terrorists, or even just people from a foreign country — but here illegally. While Americans die. Will die. Suffer. Need medical attention. Need a hospital. Need food. Need clean water.

Priorities!

The priorities of our government, of our agencies, and of the Biden/Harris administration are reprehensible, treasonous, criminal, and anti-American. They arrogantly, blatantly stole from the American taxpayer and the national emergency fund to hand out over $1,400,000,000 to illegal immigrants.

And with a clear conscience, with conviction, with a sound mind, there are people in America who will actually vote for these evil people?

And Biden and Harris have the gall, the nerve to claim they are Christians!

Just more corruption from their lying tongues and cold dead souls as their priorities are to serve darkness and not light, not America, not American people. Oh, they’ll whore and dance a jig and say whatever to get votes, but…

Priorities!

Feds say there’s no money left to respond to hurricanes — after FEMA spent $1,400,000,000 on illegal immigrants

WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas set off outrage Wednesday when he told reporters that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “does not have the funds” to see Americans through the rest of this Atlantic hurricane season — after the agency spent more than $1,400,000,000  since the fall of 2022 to address the migrant crisis.

“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,” Mayorkas said during a press gaggle on Air Force One en route to tour damage from Hurricane Helene in South and North Carolina.

“We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” he added. “We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season and what — what is imminent.”

Critics pointed out that the Department of Homeland Security allocated $640.9 million this year in FEMA-administered funds to aid state and local governments coping with the influx of asylum seekers — though Mayorkas’ office fired back late Thursday, insisting that those funds couldn’t be used for hurricane relief because Congress authorized them for the migrant crisis.

“This is easy. Mayorkas and FEMA — immediately stop spending money on illegal immigration resettlement and redirect those funds to areas hit by the hurricane. Put Americans first,” Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted Wednesday.

“Yeah!” added Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.

Abbott is a top critic of Mayorkas’ mass parole of asylum seekers into the US after President Biden repudiated former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy — with the governor busing migrants to Democrat-led jurisdictions such as New York City, forcing local budget cuts to house them.

Over two years, more than $1.4 billion has been committed from FEMA-administered programs to support non-federal entities that are taking care of migrants.

DHS allocated $780 million for the migrant crisis last year through the FEMA Emergency Food and Shelter Program, which funds relief not associated with natural disasters, and the FEMA Shelter and Services Program, which was authorized in late 2022 by Congress to respond to the migrant crisis.

The $640.9 million spent this year comes solely from the Shelter and Services Program.

“These claims are completely false,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement Thursday to Fox News following the Republican outcry.

“As Secretary Mayorkas said, FEMA has the necessary resources to meet the immediate needs associated with Hurricane Helene and other disasters. The Shelter and Services Program (SSP) is a completely separate, appropriated grant program that was authorized and funded by Congress and is not associated in any way with FEMA’s disaster-related authorities or funding streams.”

A relatively paltry $4 million has been paid directly to families and individuals in the week since Hurricane Helene ravaged the Southeast, killing at least 202 people and causing severe flooding damage from Florida to North Carolina, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday.

Those funds are from a $10 million FEMA allocation that allows storm victims grants of $750 for groceries.

Biden said Wednesday during an operational briefing on Hurricane Helene in North Carolina that “It’s going to cost billions of dollars to deal with this storm and all the communities affected. And Congress has an obligation to ensure the states have the resources they need.”

The lack of available FEMA funds stoked outrage among congressional Republicans, who are not due back in session until after Election Day.

“The Biden-Harris administration took more than a billion tax dollars that had been allocated to FEMA for disaster relief and used it to house illegal aliens,” fumed Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). “Now, they’ve abandoned American hurricane victims in North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee.”

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), whose district neighbors the disaster zone, tweeted: “FEMA spending over a billion dollars on illegals while they leave Americans stranded and without help is treasonous. U.S. citizens are dying. Pray for our country folks.”

Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.) added: “‘The Biden-Harris FEMA spent over $1,000,000,000 on funding illegal aliens. America LAST.”

“Connect the dots, if you can,” wrote Tim Murtaugh, an adviser to former President Donald Trump’s campaign. “DHS says FEMA might not have enough cash to help people through hurricane season. But in 2 years of a new Biden-Harris program, they’ve spent $1,000,000,000 on housing and other services for migrants.”

FEMA did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
