On Saturday, Townhall<\/a> posted an article about the government relief efforts for the victims of Hurricane Helene. Unfortunately, the government is being more of a hindrance than a help.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Into this hellscape of destroyed cities, overturned cars, and shattered lives have parachuted the Presidential \u201cnominee\u201d of the Democratic Party\u2014the one nobody actually voted for\u2014Kamala Harris. Conservative estimates of the cleanup in Helene\u2019s wake exceed $ 300 billion\u2026but the tone-deaf Harris put on her cheeriest face and announced that victims would be getting reparations from Washington. In an October 2nd speech in Augusta, GA (https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2024\/10\/02\/remarks-by-vice-president-harris-on-response-and-recovery-efforts-following-hurricane-helene-augusta-ga\/) Mrs. Time To Turn The Page stunned onlookers with these words:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026And the federal relief and assistance that we have been providing has included FEMA providing $750 for folks who need immediate needs being met, such as food, baby formula, and the like. And you can apply now.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wow! Your home has been leveled, your car is crushed under tons of rubble, your streets are closed, and your cell phone is useless. But it isn\u2019t all bad news: you can \u201capply\u201d for a $750 gift card from Kamala Harris.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And where\u2019s the Federal Emergency Management Agency? FEMA\u2014according to its inept and impeached head Alejandro Mayorkas, speaking on Air Force One–\u201c\u2026does not have the funds to make it through the hurricane season.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

What rubbish. FEMA\u2014crying crocodile tears about not having enough funds\u2014isn\u2019t mounting any substantial operations in many stricken areas. In fact, FEMA left hundreds of thousands of Helene victims without even cellphone communications until Donald J. Trump stepped in and tapped Elon Musk to provide StarLink\u2122 trucks which are now operating in areas where cell towers collapsed during the hurricane.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is not to diminish in any way the heroic work of the National Guard, state and local authorities and private citizens who have worked tirelessly in the wake of Helene\u2019s fury to rescue people in their communities. Additionally, we all are blessed that groups like Franklin Graham\u2019s Samaritan\u2019s Purse, The Salvation Army and Team Rubicon immediately rolled up their sleeves and mobilized to literally save lives throughout the hurricane\u2019s path. God bless every one of them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The private sector always does it better! On August 12th, 1986, US President Ronald Reagan said, \u201cThe nine most terrifying words in the English language are \u2018I\u2019m from the government and I\u2019m here to help.\u2019\u201d He was right.<\/p>\n
