The Next President is...

[tac airlifter]

That the Biden cabinet hasn’t initiated 25th amendment procedures against him is a dereliction of duty and disqualifies Harris for POTUS.  It’s truly a shocking situation we are is with an obviously incapacitated President.

Nope, it’s a new way forward! Haven’t you seen Kamala’s ads? She wasn’t part of this administration for the last 4 years.

Also recall that congress has the power of the purse.

It comes down to priorities…unless you think that a $2 Trillion deficit (insane if we’re truly in a “good economy”) doesn’t matter, in which case, why have any limits on borrowing and spending?

When the Harris/Biden administration diverts over a billion dollars to illegal migrant coddling congress had to emergency fund another 2 billion to prop up FEMA.

Regarding the hurricane related efforts, at best the Biden-Harris admin is grossly negligent and incompetent, and at worst is acting maliciously. It is absolutely insane and anti-American what they are doing/not doing down there. The buck stops with leadership, Biden/Harris are ultimately to blame for this colossal fuck show.

Anyone like me old enough to have worked Katrina relief knows there's a night & day difference in the federal response to these equally devastating natural disasters.  I don't know if the Harris/Biden regime is malicious or incompetent.  Both?  There's no excuse for not having an ISR/Rescue package deployed within 24 hours.

Side note: I was flying over Asheville a few days ago while Marine One was there with the Presidential TFR in effect.  I've never heard that volume of traffic on 21.5 as approach attempted contacting GA planes busting the TFR.  Dozens, it was a huge amount.  Listening to the comms it seemed like many aircraft hadn't checked NOTAMS because the storm took out WiFi/cell service & desperation was driving them to fly supply runs without any normal prep, totally valid.  High drama on guard listening to the back & forth.  Very disappointing to see the government prioritize rule enforcement over mission when lives are in the line.

Equity and climate BS…above actually doing FEMA’s job.  But somehow a progressive will tell me this is all Trump’s fault.

It can’t be repeated enough - Biden/Harris admin is completely negligent and incompetent. No rational person sees all of this bullshit and thinks, “yep, we’re on the right track and I want 4 more years of this.”

Rescue crews were enroute Saturday morning.

Katrina was a series of near mid-airs.  It was worth the risk, but it's pretty easy to see where a bureaucrat would learn the wrong lesson, and middle managing peons would then take it too far.

In any event, this guy has some gouge from guardsmen on the ground about where some of the rumor is likely coming from.

And those crews arrived Sunday but sat until Thursday waiting on bureaucracy to be cleared.

Fair point.  But there were folks ready to go.

That just leads to point two of mine. 

This isn't the first time bureaucrats have put their focus into "establishing and maintaining" control, instead of rolling with the punches and making shit happen.  Seems to be more and more common place these days, but that happened at Katrina as well.  It's just that the lower levels beat the bureaucrats to the scene.

Are you tracking the threats made against volunteer pilots who were helping rescue people and deliver supplies!

Helicopter pilot threatened with arrest after rescuing people stranded by Hurricane Helene

There's an interview with a town official towards the end.

Thanks for posting something with what sounds like fact and logic being used. It'd be great if we as a country could refrain from politicizing ppl getting killed, be it politicians or civilians spreading the BS.
