What are Biden and Harris waiting for? An engraved invitation?? We have President Trump planning a visit to Georgia and bringing necessary supplies while Governor DeSantis is deploying some of his key hurricane response teams to help. Meanwhile, the silence from the Biden-Harris team is as deafening as East Palestine or Maui. 

The news reports coming out are horrifying, devastating, infuriating, and saddening. Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and Florida were hit hard by Hurricane Helene. Massive amounts of rain, 22″ or more were dumped on those states within a matter of hours. The ground got so saturated that massive trees toppled over, blocking roadways, destroying highways, and smashing into business and homes. People were and are stranded, and as of this writing, 64 people have died. 

Communication via cell phone and internet was obliterated by Helene’s massive temper tantrum. What HAS been helping is….Starlink. 

You have officially connected more people (a lot) to the internet than the Kamala-Biden regime after spending $40 billion (0 people)

True story. But guess who is ALSO handing out Starlink connections so people can find their loved ones or call out for help?? FEMA

With “significant infrastructure damage” to communications networks from #HurricaneHelene, @FEMA Administrator says that “@Starlink satellites have also been moved in to facilitate the lack of communication that part of the state is experiencing.” https://t.co/4Kweh7MUDe

Communication, no matter who it is from is absolutely KEY to helping Americans get the assistance they need right now. Yet, it seems there’s communication and assistance from some, and a lack of communication or …LEADERSHIP from others. Such as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. 

I don’t care that Joe’s been briefed while sunning on the beach, this is a huge natural disaster affecting multiple states. If Joe/Jill want to have a Presidential legacy that doesn’t involve him falling asleep in his Cheerios, they should at least act like they PLAN to try to DO SOMETHING! 

White House briefing statements are small comfort to those who experienced Helene’s wrath. 

As of today, more than 3,300 personnel from across the Federal workforce are deployed and supporting Hurricane Helene response efforts across the impacted states. This includes the most experienced incident management teams to help identity Federal resources to address unmet needs, as well as Urban Search and Rescue personnel using high water rescue equipment for rescue missions across the region.

At least 50,000 personnel from 31 states and the District of Columbia and Canada are responding to power outages and working around the clock throughout parts of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina to restore power to those communities that can receive power. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is moving generators and additional power generation assets into the hardest hit areas of South and North Carolina as flood waters recede and debris removal allows. As of this afternoon, approximately 2.3 million customers are without power, down from the region-wide peak of 4.6 million on September 27.

Don’t get me wrong, every bit of that is supremely helpful given I know firefighters who’ve spent four days in a row involved in disaster response in North Carolina. They were the immediate boots on the ground first responders running to help. And will be working tirelessly around the clock for days if not weeks to help their communities. Meanwhile, state senators are begging on social media for generators!

What I want to know is why North Carolina, a state in play for Kamala Harris, waited until yesterday to finally call in the National Guard?

They will be a huge help for sure. But again, why wait until days later? Democrat Governor Roy Cooper knows his state is in play. Disaster response and/or lack thereof resonates in a gigantic way with voters. So why did he wait so long? Is it b/c he’s of the same ilk as Tim Walz? The same Tim Walz who has, as of Sunday afternoon, NOT activated the National Guard to help? 

Tim Walz has yet to deploy the Minnesota National Guard to help North Carolina and Tennessee.

Probably because he thinks they are just a bunch of 19 year-old cooks. pic.twitter.com/ht7XcAJG4E

Again, this is looking more and more like a Maui or East Palestine story. Ignore them, they are an inconvenience to our narrative. 

I feel like the victims of Helene dropped off the radar immediately. This is a Katrina-like situation with people shut off from help and dying on their rooftops. How is this only a local story? https://t.co/ty9PyXByJQ

Any golfers among our readers? Guess what? Augusta got HAMMERED by Helene. Pretty much the entire city is without power. And, it will be days if not weeks before gas stations are fully operable, water to homes and business are up and running with partial power restoration starting Oct 5th. And! Is anyone in the national media reporting that the home of THE MASTERS Tournament got hit?? NOPE. Only golf and sports media are talking about this.

With the advent of Helene dumping her wrath on multiple states, one thing is clear. Who is capable of responding to actually HELP and who just offers platitudes.

HOW DARE HE CARE??!! 

Former President Donald Trump is making Hurricane Helene into a campaign issue, planning a stop in storm-ravaged, battleground Georgia on Monday and criticizing the Biden administration’s response with just weeks left until the November election.

During a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, Trump accused President Joe Biden of “sleeping” at his beach house in Delaware and dragged Vice President Kamala Harris for holding fundraising events in California over the weekend “when big parts of our country have been devastated by that massive hurricane.”

Trump will be in Georgia tomorrow. Ron DeSantis has sent troops, supplies and rescue to North Carolina. What are Joe and Kamala waiting for? An engraved invite to a specialized photo op?

"Do you have any words to the victims of the hurricane?"

BIDEN: "We've given everything that we have."

"Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?"

BIDEN: "No." pic.twitter.com/jDMNGhpjOz

Or will Glad Hands Tim Walz and WIMPTASTIC Doug Emhoff end up as their stand-in’s?
