With all of the news coverage as of late going toward President Joe Biden’s intentional actions to try and muck things up for President-elect Donald Trump before he takes office, it seems failures by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under his watch have been completely overlooked. Until now. The latest problem with FEMA stems from Christmas promises the agency made to help survivors of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina going unfulfilled.
Color me shocked. A government agency that is incompetent and incapable of fulfilling its word to help people? No way. That never happens. I’m sure you detect a bit of sarcasm. This is not going to do any favors for the declining public view of FEMA, that much is for sure.
According to WLOS, FEMA has come up woefully short in its stated mission of moving 26 families into mobile homes by Christmas while North Carolina cleanup continues. Just how short did FEMA come of its goal? According to some quick calculations, FEMA has hit on a paltry 11.5 percent of its stated goal. If you’re good with the math, yes, FEMA has aided a grand total of three families — out of 26.
“Twenty-three families have been identified, and required background checks are taking place. We are continuing to work and get families into these homes as quickly as possible,” a FEMA representative said to local media outlets. WLOS then reported, “FEMA reports weather and utility connection issues have caused delays in the final installation.”
Now, had this incident been in isolation, perhaps it’s chalked up as much ado about nothing. After all, “weather” and “connection issues” are plausible enough when battling the outdoor elements. But given that other scandal Biden’s FEMA has found itself in recently, it’s tough to blame any critics for casting a suspicious eye on this.
In case you might not have heard, FEMA found itself in hot water back in November when reports emerged that one of the individuals supervising operations told canvassers to avoid any Florida homes with Trump signs in the yard, regardless of how badly they needed help. That’s the kind of despicable behavior that has come to define progressives. That same person also seemingly indicated such anti-Trump bias was widespread and rampant.
“So this is not isolated,” said Marn’i Washington, the supervisor in question. “This is a colossal event of avoidance, not just in the state of Florida, but you will find avoidance in the Carolinas.”
This ultimately led to the state of Florida filing a lawsuit against FEMA over the alleged practices.
