Hundreds of billions for Ukraine and Africa, and for pre-paid credit cards and housing and "free" health care for tens of millions of invading illegal aliens.

Nothing for Americans. Worse than that, stealing from the American people (higher taxes, skyrocketing inflation from the skyrocketing debt) to pay for all this insanity.

This is the communist way...hatred for your own people and the way to deliberately bankrupt and destroy your own nation.

Bad optics? I would say, you're kidding but you're not. Voters like you are the reason why this country finds itself in the ****-show it's in.

How many billions is this costing American citizens to pay to house illegal aliens? In addition to paying to bus and fly them to cities all over the country after the "border patrol" releases them into the country, give them a $10,000 pre-paid debit card, etc…

Take a look at what DOGE recently revealed. I just shared it on the Trump thread.

With people still living in tents, FEMA begins exodus from Western North Carolina. But it's not political. If you believe that then I have some ocean front property in Kansas to sell you.

If you want to understand part of what happened with NC politics in the last 30-40 years look no further than the RTP area.

Random WNC Commentary:

"Live just over the state line in SC, and spent the last two days trying to top off our propane supply prior to the arrival of the expected snow/ice storm Friday. All the big suppliers were out of gas. Tank swaps were still available, but at a higher price. I snuck in at 0730 just after the supply truck filled the retailer again. I was fifth in line. I found out what was going on.

A man pulling a trailer behind me had 36 (yes, I counted them) 20 lb propane tanks along with some 30s and 100lb ones loaded. When I asked, he explained he was delivering them to NC because there was NO PROPANE available anywhere up there, especially in the Bat Cave/Chimney Rock, NC area.

They are still living in tents in these freezing temperatures, ice and snow!

Made me embarrassed for *****ing about spending all week chopping up downed trees on the property. At least we have a roof over our heads and three forms of alternate heat (Wood, propane and kerosene).

Humbled, Prayers sent."

----------------

More WNC Commentary:

"Running errands around WNC town/county, I still see people in tents. Some have kids, but I would guess around 60% of them are homeless and set their tents in the surrounding woods in order to be close to main intersections, so they can beg for money.

13 degrees this morning, 11 degrees tomorrow morning."

----------------

More WNC Commentary:

"A lady that lives in TN said that some people still in tents, and refuse to leave for fear of losing their land to the land grabbers."

----------------

More WNC Commentary:

Unaffected NC and TN folks have jumped in to help impacted WNC citizens and the state/Fed governments thwart them at every turn.

Tiny home? Nope, can't move in.

Trailer or motorhome? Nope, can't move in.

Rebuild a road to make it passable? Nope, we (the state/Fed) didn't build it so you can't use it.

The list goes on and on."

Truly disgusting what Biden and his administration have done to hamper the recovery in WNC. Weekly sending billions and billions to Ukraine, or Africa, or anyone else but Americans. So sick and tired of our state being last in line to receive anything after what those people have gone through. Truly do not understand how people justify or live with themselves voting for people that do that to their fellow countrymen.

Sounds like NC's inept Republican state legislature at work! You like to bawl about blue states when they get hit with a disaster, and you're saying 60% of WNC is still homeless? W T F is wrong with red states?! Waiting for those mountain folk to pull themselves up by their bootstraps? Or just waiting for the federal government to fix everything for you so you can keep your taxes low?

Just a fraction into the weeds, I would find if favorable for State Govts to assist in a 1st level of cost per capita of US citizen. Then some level over and above - if it occurs - by the FEDs. Clearly the more effluent area is getting Dimm admin help and the other is not.

When your 1st priority is Ukraine and 2nd is the California Hills of Beverly, you just "don't got it".

The Head of FEMAs interview today was atrocious. She had the gull to blame the people who are staying in hotels because they haven't visited FRMA centers. One, they're closed for the winter storm, she closed them and 2, temp housing was promised and not delivered. 93 temp home have been delivered so far when 100 were PROMISED by Thanksgiving.

I was one to not buy in to the early stuff about FEMA to give themselves the opportunity to perform and not be inept. I'm sorry to say that that is the only thing that FEMA has delivered. Absolutely disgusting

Don't worry, I'm sure Trump will put a Fox News personality in charge of FEMA soon and they'll get you fixed right up.

Of course the disinformation train in NC will come screeching to a halt, so that alone should fix 95% of these problems overnight.

Is "disinformation" the new go to word for liberals? I've seen it a lot and it looks like it's overtaken something-something Elon.
