It is heartbreaking to see all the devastation that the hurricane left behind. Discrimination is never ok. It is so upsetting to think that the government used FEMA money for the illegal aliens. Yet we send billions of dollars over to the Ukraine. Did you know they are paying the Ukrainians pensions? I just have no words to describe the feelings I have for what has happened under the Biden Harris administration. Trump went down to the survey the hurricane damage and spent money on aid for the victims.
I just pray that Trump is protected. Our country needs his help to make this country great again.
It just shows that the Biden-Harris Administration has been concerned all along about non-citizens than they have their own people. While MSM and the Democratic Party can act surprised that they lost the election earlier this week, they have nobody to blame but themselves. They literally turned their backs on and betrayed their own people.
What's been so infuriating with the current administration is how powerless we have felt to stop the government, DHS and DOJ in particular, from doing such evil deeds using OUR money, while ignoring the plight of actual citizens affected by the hurricanes, train derailments, etc. Hoping Trump and his team can right the ship we're on. Praying that Trump makes good decisions about whom he includes in his administration and that they are able to cut out the rotten parts of the bureaucracy.
I count it as probable that, if civilizational order is preserved in years to come, Mayorkas and Garland will be described among the esteemed community of federal bureaucrats with that generic term, "public servant." And if by "public servant" one means "corrupt, hyper-partisan tyrant," I would say, yes, the term applies.
Perhaps Trump could let RFK Jr, to whom Mayorkas denied Secret Service protection, relay the message that a) he's fired, and b) he shouldn't wander off too far just yet.
Just like with the fire in Lahaina...a completely unpredicted and unusual event, that caused significantly more damage than a normal natural disaster, aided in part by a completely incompetent (and perhaps malicious?) response from local/Federal officials! And then, as now, an almost complete media blackout on the aftermath!
(And both locations are extremely valuable, for different reasons, but are now completely uninhabitable for the most part, and the people who lived there are being offered a mere pittance...what a "coincidence")
I was told that evidently, in those beautiful mountain, hillside towns that have been completely destroyed- & yes, I agree, storms that “seem unnatural” in these areas of NC, there “might be” Lithium ? My Daughter is on a web site where many folks can their own food, a food canning web site (Rebel Canning); there was conversation about some folks were approached by “an outsider”, or “outsiders”, wanting to see if folks who live in areas of this horrible storm/water surge, wanted to sell their property. Almost like the wildfires in Lahaina, Maui? Developers approaching town folks to inquire about purchasing properties? I have not researched for data about any Lithium field(s) in NC, but there may be a possibility there may be truth to this?
I have read of massive lithium deposits in that part of NC. Also that the Feds will not give landowners permits for tiny houses or campers while they try to rebuild. It is pathetic and we need Myorkis REPLACED and in prison before he can do more harm. This entire situation, in Lahaina and NC is infuriating.
Very frustrating to hear our own agencies will not allow citizens permits to bring in RV campers, or even let landowners build a Tiny house- that would be a wonderful way to get started on rebuilding towns, obviously! Crooked government !
Here’s an article that might shed some light (I also haven’t researched, but this is plausible):
Quote:
DOD has the technology to control the weather. This certainly was not the first time.
Last year, the Department of Defense entered a ninety-million-dollar agreement with Albemarle Corporation to increase domestic production of lithium for the nation’s battery supply chain. Specifically, from Kings Mountain, North Carolina starting by 2025.
This is the same area experiencing what is being described as biblical floods.
Very sad indeed! How can we bring this out in the open? Seems like the citizens in the devastated areas don’t want to speak about this, & they are probably terrified. I pray for NC citizens to rebuild & the outsiders that are dismissing the people of the flooded areas, need to step up to the plate & help these towns financially!
Oh my word! This is difficult to understand how this type of manipulation of the weather, to “steal” resources from the planet, regardless of the consequence of families losing lives, homes, & towns! Thank you for sharing this- Now it makes more sense why fema has not made any efforts to help the people in NC mountain towns, & help them clean up all the debris, & rebuild! I’m horrified!~
I don't think there is lithium up here. Maybe some uranium deposits. Big lithium mine near Charlotte.
I still suspect mostly idiot dei hires are the cause of the complete uselessness of the democrat fema. There are still good folks there, they blew the whistle, and feel safe doing that now.
Maybe more good democrats will blow whistles & get attention to what is actually happening- ! The families in these flooded towns need help, & we see & hear what is really going on now!
Wildfires? At a beach town? That’s impossible. Locals wd not sell to make it a 15 min city, so…yeh…
the enemy hates humanity bc we’re made in the image of our Creator and he hates the Creator, God. So when depop is the eventual goal, he and his minions cdn’t care less who gets hurt…
Statist logic. People don't have a home to live in due to flood damage. Winter is coming and folks are living in travel trailers and tents. They clean up their homes so they can rebuild.
STOP.
You must get permission from some bureaucrat to provide yourself shelter. Insane.
I get the idea buildings should be safe but a lot of those buildings had existed for decades or longer. Now they suddenly have to meet 2025 standards. Let the people who own them decide if they want the government seal of approval. If not, just get out of the way so folks can survive.
In the wake of Ian, 2022, many of the homes destroyed on Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach must be rebuilt to current standards. However, insurance companies are not paying what it costs to rebuild to current specifications, but only what rebuilding to original standards would cost. This has driven many residents out of their homes, and forced them to sell to developers or incomers, changing the entire character of the towns.
Many insurance companies offer insurance coverage for required building code upgrades at an additional cost. Otherwise many buildings will not be restored due to current building code requirements and end up being torn down.
In this case the 6 storey building was demolished and a 2 storey office building put up to replace it which was strange as it was in the downtown core and surrounded by much taller buildings. Personally from being in the building design business I hate many of the new code requirements that add cost burden onto the construction of new buildings without acheiving any great improvement in society. Items such as insulated metal cooler panels having to pass a flame spread rating (Plus $5000 CDN), handicapped door operators (Plus $3000 CDN each) when a simple manual door will do, gray water heat recovery heat exchangers (Plus $2000 CDN) Upping fresh air ventilation rates in Apartment buildings (Plus $500 to $3000 CDN per unit) for formaldehyde cooking fumes when using a stove, etc.
I copied the following from a web search. A similar process to what building codes in Canada do (where I live).
Each of the model code organizations conducts at least two public hearings a year. At the first hearing, a committee made up mostly of building officials hears testimony and receives substantiating evidence on published code change proposals. Each code change proposal receives one of four recommendations from this code changes committee: 1) recommendation for approval, 2) recommendation for approval with revisions, 3) recommendation for disapproval, or 4) recommendation for further study. Committee recommendations and challenges opposing these recommendations are considered and acted on by all voting members at the annual business meeting.
Once the last of our elderly rescue horses passes away, my wife and I are moving to a place we have on a Virginia river exactly 100 feet from high tide. Floods several times a year. Been there with water up over the so called bumper on my car.
Our future permanent home was built in 1976. This area has had formerly European people building homes here since the 1600's. It has always flooded. Always will. You adapt and adjust. No set of government rules is going to change the reality of nature. I'll take the few days of flooding for the serenity the river provides. Just leave me alone.
I have a relative who legally rebuilt a couple of houses one exterior wall at a time in Ontario. It took extra time however he didn't have to demolish the house and start from scratch which his mortgage company would not allow in any case (loss of value of the property when the original house comes down).
I spend may hours working out similar work arounds for customers.
All municipalities in the US and Canada require a builder file for and obtain a building permit. Plans are reviewed to the Current building code in effect and any exemptions. For example a 1920's house did not require insulation but in 2024 they do. The extra cost of the insulation however is offset by the lower cost of constructing stud+ brick wall instead of 2 course brick plus strapping plus lathe + plaster. In the commercial building I described their principal problem is the poured concrete 6 storey building had a single stairwell which is not permitted anywhere that I know of in a building accessed by the public by today's codes.
I did a report once about 15 years ago for an insurance company on what to do with a fire damaged century building. As is usual it was next to impossible to save the building due to mandatory building code upgrades so it got demolished. As an interesting side note the arsonist was an unhappy victim of the 6th floor lawyers office and carried two containers of gasoline up to the office and spread it around.
Foolishly he lit it up not realizing the huge explosion would engulf him too. He lived though.
Not surprised that this crossed my desk - heard about the FEMA fiasco yesterday, had a hard time believing until I chased it down my self - there needs be more than a "mea culpa," "I’m sorry," or even someone(s) relocated/transferred/fired, this has to be a criminal action; anyone who was "damaged" by this senseless act of discrimination needs to be held liable before the law AND if someone’s life was threatened or worse because of this malfeasance …
Anyway, as much as I was horrified by this action(s), I was also not surprised - I think it sums up the whole Biden/Harris debacle. My one regret is that this wasn’t reported until AFTER the election - that world’a could’a made for a wonderful October Surprise.
Thx Malones for closing with the info about Samaritan’s Purse - they’ve been a consistent recipient of the blessings God has bestowed on me for nearly a decade. Even tho the Samaritan’s Purse home town of Boone, NC was amongst those devastated by Helene (including their HQ I believe), Samaritan’s Purse has been on the vanguard of helping others. What a joy it is to have a (very small) part in the work that began 2,000’ish years ago.
Dr Malone and others, I have many family members who are grieving over the Democrat loss. Mainstream media (MSM) psyops and lies have been extremely effective in distorting the truth like a mind virus.
How do we help these people heal and find the truth? Please write an article on how to heal and find the truth both in individual conversations with our loved ones, community wide and beyond. How do we undo years of psyops?
Thanks. That video was great and made me cry....and those briskets looked delicious.
This is important. I'm reading Raskin and several Governors are uniting with a front to OPPOSE Trump/MAGA efforts. They are assuring their believers they will oppose actions inconsistent with their Democrat perspectives. This may offer a way for their base to remain in the fold, opposing until the next opportunity to overthrow.
A bad rumor has surfaced - Pompeo for Sec of Defense. Uniparty operative should not be welcomed within the MAGA team. Jean, he is not what you think he is.
I will try this again - as my 1st comment just disappeared.
Hopefully, President Trump is now aware of just who the "NGO" is that caused him and his family SO much grief is - and will FIRE anyone who is a member of the "COUNCIL on FOREIGN RELATIONS" now embedded within our federal government along with ALL of the Obutthead and Biden operatives.
I have noted these concerns. Had felt he was a positive as Secretary of State. Not being intimately familiar with all relevant details am out of the advocates box. Thanks for your contribution.
I know Jean. But his activities in SOS were not critical onse for Trump's Admin, while his neglect to rout out the unfit in the CIA and State were critical. This was not a lapse on his part, it was his intent.
There are so many others that are great pretenders, he is not alone.
One of the hearings I watched had Pompeo and another former CIA head there to testify. They exchanged very colliegial silent acknowledgement. An observed clue.
Thank you for this post; yes, this post, the pictures & video must be shared, & the current regime needs to be held accountable for the reported facts about how specific Trump supporters were not on the list of damage/destruction to their homes / properties! I just can’t understand this type of hatred- this is not acceptable from our own government agency, run by the current actors in charge in Washington, D.C.!~
This is so heartbreaking. We must stop living in parallel worlds; turning away from facts and events that don't mesh with our own views or politics, is not only ignorant, it is immoral. We all share this great land and ought to have more conscience about what is happening to each and everyone of us, near or far. All the bluster and virtue signaling about diversity, equity, and inclusion and illusions of a global community, come to naught if we cannot even care about our own citizens.
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Merrick Garland, Alejandro Mayorkas, Janet Yellon, Tony Blinken, General Milley, Lloyd Austin, Christopher Wray, William Burns, Pete Buttigieg, Dr. Fauci, Rachel Levine, Karine-Jean Pierre, I could go on. Looking at this partisan cast of characters that Biden has surrounded himself with it’s not so hard to understand why everything is looked at through a political lens. As the Italians say “the fish rots from the head down.”
I refuse to say they are incompetent, but rather say they are competent and have successfully fulfilled their mission to upend America—this is only the beginning of their treasonous behavior.
On another note: Speaking with MSNBC on Wednesday, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey said her state would not comply with the incoming Trump administration in assisting with deportations of illegal immigrants. "But let me say this, I do think it's important that we all recognize that there's going to be a lot of pressure on states and state officials, and I can assure you, we're going to work really hard to deliver."
"Some realities also need to be, you know, noted, and that is, in 2016 we had a very different situation in the courts. And, well, I'm sure there may be litigation ahead. You know, there's a lot of other ways that people are going to act and need to act for the sake of their states and their residents. There's regulatory authority and executive powers and the like. There's legislation also within our state."
"I think that the key here is that, you know, every tool in the toolbox has got to be used to protect our citizens, to protect our residents and protect our states, and certainly to hold the line on democracy and the rule of law, as a basic principle."
A report from the Center for Immigration Studies revealed that the state is facing a "fiscal time bomb" over the number of illegal immigrants that have been allowed into the state, with the state paying hundreds of millions on housing and welfare programs for illegal immigrants.
It's just another example of how low the Biden-Harris Administration has sunk. This is an issue they've been trying to "debunk" over the last month, just like others that have exposed this admin's corruption, whether it was COVID, Biden's cognitive state, nominating Kamala Harris without a proper vote and passing it off as "democracy," the list never stops. Once again, they're out of excuses. Once again, they're caught in another lie.
Samaritans Purse is wonderful but equally active even before they arrived was Glen Beck’s helicopter rescues and relief aid. If anyone has information donating to those men with team ‘Silverado’ in NC maybe getting some funds to help them would be good. I wonder if Samaritans Purse actually supports the local groups of volunteers or maybe they belong to churches that can support their food supplies.
Hard not to walk away hating not only the regime but anyone who voted left.
If we could rely on anything just to correct the wrongs it wouldn’t sting so badly.
When does the stealing of funds from Americans in such need become treasonous? There has been overwhelming evidence of insurrection by mayorkis and biden/harris. In all depts since day one they have proven to their incompetence and utter malfeasance. Never have I been vengeful but these 4 years have moved like a decade and I’m praying daily that leaders like levine, mayorkis, garland, fauci and harris go down for their premeditated crimes against Americans. Biden has been a criminal for decades he’s too old and he’ll get his due soon enough.
We have experienced the most corrupt, hateful, anti-American, administration in the history of the United States. The Biden-Harris tag team, are filled with habitual liars, and they deceived millions in believing that “democracy is at stake” and that their rights will be taken away, especially their degenerate desire to kill unborn children, who are separate individuals needing care and comfort inside momma’s womb.
Representative Raskin stated earlier this year that if Trump wins, Congress will need to invoke section 3 of tge 14th Amendment, and declare him “disqualified” to be president—even if it causes a civil war. A “Google” search claims he never “said” that Trump would not be certified—correct, but the lying deceivers know that disqualifying him as President IS an act of NOT certifying him. See the link below about the 58 minute mark. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3If_fz8GatQ&t=2s&pp=2AECkAIB
Mayorkas’ name will be equated with the likes of Benedict Arnold, and no amount of lies will change that fact—this generational curse on his family name will be on him and him alone. Our foreign enemies could not do to America, what this administration and the Democratic Party did in four years. We may never fully recover from this attack upon our nation, but we will indeed try. That’s what Patriots do!
I pray for two things.
1. That America will do a deep look into its heart and its behaviors, and confess to God that they were wrong and sinful, and then, in TRUE repentance, turn back to Him in ALL areas of life.
2. To show the fruit of turning back to God, I pray that the Democratic Party would go the way of the Dodo Bird, and end up on the ash heap of history.
If America has not learned its lesson, then it will eventually be destroyed. But there’s Hope—God always gives us hope! In the book of Micah, God pronounces judgment on Judah three times—BUT—at the end of each statement of judgement, he gives them hope IF they repent from rejecting Him and adopting the pagan culture around them. KNOW the warning of judgment, but heed the call to turn back to God—our ONLY Hope. 🙂
There must be a way of tracking back to who the FEMA advisor was, who sent the discriminatory order. Then track back through the chain of command to find the originators. They need to be known in order to be held accountable. We read about so much corruption, but so often, there are no actors to attach the actions to, and therefore no way to shine a light at the root cause in order to take legal action and stop it. Also, without names and faces the public are left with an unclear impression that quickly fades. Without consequences what's the point in knowing this. I hope the incoming administration allows for more transparency.
Thanks Doc. Agree looking thru the prism of the government’s disastrous hurricane response is one good metric to understand why most Americans now understand the current regime was never their friend. Also as a Tennessean in Mark Greene’s district glad to see his quote defending we the people on this issue.
It is heartbreaking to see all the devastation that the hurricane left behind. Discrimination is never ok. It is so upsetting to think that the government used FEMA money for the illegal aliens. Yet we send billions of dollars over to the Ukraine. Did you know they are paying the Ukrainians pensions? I just have no words to describe the feelings I have for what has happened under the Biden Harris administration. Trump went down to the survey the hurricane damage and spent money on aid for the victims.
I just pray that Trump is protected. Our country needs his help to make this country great again.
It just shows that the Biden-Harris Administration has been concerned all along about non-citizens than they have their own people. While MSM and the Democratic Party can act surprised that they lost the election earlier this week, they have nobody to blame but themselves. They literally turned their backs on and betrayed their own people.
So...where is the North Carolina governor? Leaving office and he doesn't give a hoot!
Shameful and despicable Federal lack of action!
Our governor is a do nothing governor, and no he does not care!
Give him a one way air plane ticket Mongolia!
well, the shit for brains idiots in NC voted another pos democrat in, there is that.
I may start staying in my Tenn, house, and quit spending money in a state where idiots keep voting for more cesspool.
Hmmm, I wonder if the leftist vermin that want to kill trump realize, that JD is Trump with a bigger IQ???
This is not a *government* but an ugly, destructive communist regime.
Communism = joooish has never produced anything of true value.
You can work with commies, even one like Bernie.,
These rabid democrat vermin, however, cannot be negotiated with.
We can only avoid them, and vote them out of office.
What's been so infuriating with the current administration is how powerless we have felt to stop the government, DHS and DOJ in particular, from doing such evil deeds using OUR money, while ignoring the plight of actual citizens affected by the hurricanes, train derailments, etc. Hoping Trump and his team can right the ship we're on. Praying that Trump makes good decisions about whom he includes in his administration and that they are able to cut out the rotten parts of the bureaucracy.
I count it as probable that, if civilizational order is preserved in years to come, Mayorkas and Garland will be described among the esteemed community of federal bureaucrats with that generic term, "public servant."

Clearly lithium is more imprtant to the govt. than citizens.
Great article. Lithium is more valuable to someone than relief to our citizens.
Very sad indeed! How can we bring this out in the open? Seems like the citizens in the devastated areas don’t want to speak about this, & they are probably terrified. I pray for NC citizens to rebuild & the outsiders that are dismissing the people of the flooded areas, need to step up to the plate & help these towns financially!
There’s quartz in WNC too, also useful for hi-tech. Intentional… raise a glass of Mountain Dew to Lahaina. 😢😢😢
Yes, very sad!
Oh my word! This is difficult to understand how this type of manipulation of the weather, to “steal” resources from the planet, regardless of the consequence of families losing lives, homes, & towns!

Many insurance companies offer insurance coverage for required building code upgrades at an additional cost. Otherwise many buildings will not be restored due to current building code requirements and end up being torn down.
In effect, the decision to rebuild is taken out of the owner's hands. The moral question is whether society is better off with an empty lot or a home.

FRED? You mention "new code requirements" - do you know if the "INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL" is behind this?

Um..possibly not an empty lot for long...
Thank you. Useful to know. I'm pretty sure my house violates current code on several points and it's highly unlikely my expensive insurance covers it.
Sadly, not here in south Florida. Nor coastal NC.
Once the last of our elderly rescue horses passes away, my wife and I are moving to a place we have on a Virginia river exactly 100 feet from high tide. Floods several times a year. Been there with water up over the so called bumper on my car.

What kind of home insurance will not rebuild the home? regardless of building code upgrades?

They believe that they're above the law! They also think that an apology will suffice and that they won't suffer any consequences!!
Their nerve is just unbelievable 😳!
That’s the problem. It seems there are NEVER any consequences for wrong-doing. Hopefully, that changes shortly.
Kim, it's really bad that these so called adults are behaving worse than most children!!
Never grew up. Probably never will.
Not surprised that this crossed my desk - heard about the FEMA fiasco yesterday, had a hard time believing until I chased it down my self - there needs be more than a "mea culpa," "I’m sorry," or even someone(s) relocated/transferred/fired, this has to be a criminal action; anyone who was "damaged" by this senseless act of discrimination needs to be held liable before the law AND if someone’s life was threatened or worse because of this malfeasance …

We who were in the damage zone have all seen this. The result of the election represents this.

This may offer a way for their base to remain in the fold, opposing until the next opportunity to overthrow.
A bad rumor has surfaced - Pompeo for Sec of Defense. Uniparty operative should not be welcomed within the MAGA team. Jean, he is not what you think he is.

Reese was a mainstay of InfoWars. He blogs from Russia now - not safe in the USA.
I will try this again - as my 1st comment just disappeared.
Hopefully, President Trump is now aware of just who the "NGO" is that caused him and his family SO much grief is - and will FIRE anyone who is a member of the "COUNCIL on FOREIGN RELATIONS" now embedded within our federal government along with ALL of the Obutthead and Biden operatives.
I have noted these concerns. Had felt he was a positive as Secretary of State. Not being intimately familiar with all relevant details am out of the advocates box. Thanks for your contribution.
I know Jean. But his activities in SOS were not critical onse for Trump's Admin, while his neglect to rout out the unfit in the CIA and State were critical. This was not a lapse on his part, it was his intent.
There are so many others that are great pretenders, he is not alone.
Solomon had a rather complimentary comments about possible role for Pompeo in the admin
Trump post tonight on Truth Social: no Haley or Pompeo in his admin this go around!
One of the hearings I watched had Pompeo and another former CIA head there to testify. They exchanged very colliegial silent acknowledgement. An observed clue.
Found out that both Bannon and Don Jr. have said no Pompeo but that it's Trump's decision.
Then on Truth Social tonight Trump posted that neither Haley or Pompeo will be part of his admin!
Made me cry as well. These selfless volunteers are true heroes and gifts from God - Angels. God Bless them all 🙏🏻
Love them and care for them, and patiently them to the truth. “A soft answer turns away wrath.”
Thank you for this post; yes, this post, the pictures & video must be shared, & the current regime needs to be held accountable for the reported facts about how specific Trump supporters were not on the list of damage/destruction to their homes / properties! I just can’t understand this type of hatred- this is not acceptable from our own government agency, run by the current actors in charge in Washington, D.C.!~
This is so heartbreaking. We must stop living in parallel worlds; turning away from facts and events that don't mesh with our own views or politics, is not only ignorant, it is immoral. We all share this great land and ought to have more conscience about what is happening to each and everyone of us, near or far. All the bluster and virtue signaling about diversity, equity, and inclusion and illusions of a global community, come to naught if we cannot even care about our own citizens.
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Merrick Garland, Alejandro Mayorkas, Janet Yellon, Tony Blinken, General Milley, Lloyd Austin, Christopher Wray, William Burns, Pete Buttigieg, Dr. Fauci, Rachel Levine, Karine-Jean Pierre, I could go on. Looking at this partisan cast of characters that Biden has surrounded himself with it’s not so hard to understand why everything is looked at through a political lens. As the Italians say “the fish rots from the head down.”
I refuse to say they are incompetent, but rather say they are competent and have successfully fulfilled their mission to upend America—this is only the beginning of their treasonous behavior.
On another note: Speaking with MSNBC on Wednesday, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey said her state would not comply with the incoming Trump administration in assisting with deportations of illegal immigrants. "But let me say this, I do think it's important that we all recognize that there's going to be a lot of pressure on states and state officials, and I can assure you, we're going to work really hard to deliver."
"Some realities also need to be, you know, noted, and that is, in 2016 we had a very different situation in the courts. And, well, I'm sure there may be litigation ahead. You know, there's a lot of other ways that people are going to act and need to act for the sake of their states and their residents. There's regulatory authority and executive powers and the like. There's legislation also within our state."
"I think that the key here is that, you know, every tool in the toolbox has got to be used to protect our citizens, to protect our residents and protect our states, and certainly to hold the line on democracy and the rule of law, as a basic principle."
A report from the Center for Immigration Studies revealed that the state is facing a "fiscal time bomb" over the number of illegal immigrants that have been allowed into the state, with the state paying hundreds of millions on housing and welfare programs for illegal immigrants.

Build a wall around her state?
Ha, ha, ha.
It's just another example of how low the Biden-Harris Administration has sunk. This is an issue they've been trying to "debunk" over the last month, just like others that have exposed this admin's corruption, whether it was COVID, Biden's cognitive state, nominating Kamala Harris without a proper vote and passing it off as "democracy," the list never stops. Once again, they're out of excuses. Once again, they're caught in another lie.
Samaritans Purse is wonderful but equally active even before they arrived was Glen Beck’s helicopter rescues and relief aid. If anyone has information donating to those men with team ‘Silverado’ in NC maybe getting some funds to help them would be good. I wonder if Samaritans Purse actually supports the local groups of volunteers or maybe they belong to churches that can support their food supplies.
Hard not to walk away hating not only the regime but anyone who voted left.
If we could rely on anything just to correct the wrongs it wouldn’t sting so badly.
When does the stealing of funds from Americans in such need become treasonous? There has been overwhelming evidence of insurrection by mayorkis and biden/harris. In all depts since day one they have proven to their incompetence and utter malfeasance. Never have I been vengeful but these 4 years have moved like a decade and I’m praying daily that leaders like levine, mayorkis, garland, fauci and harris go down for their premeditated crimes against Americans. Biden has been a criminal for decades he’s too old and he’ll get his due soon enough.
We have experienced the most corrupt, hateful, anti-American, administration in the history of the United States. The Biden-Harris tag team, are filled with habitual liars, and they deceived millions in believing that “democracy is at stake” and that their rights will be taken away, especially their degenerate desire to kill unborn children, who are separate individuals needing care and comfort inside momma’s womb.
Representative Raskin stated earlier this year that if Trump wins, Congress will need to invoke section 3 of tge 14th Amendment, and declare him “disqualified” to be president—even if it causes a civil war. A “Google” search claims he never “said” that Trump would not be certified—correct, but the lying deceivers know that disqualifying him as President IS an act of NOT certifying him. See the link below about the 58 minute mark. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3If_fz8GatQ&t=2s&pp=2AECkAIB
Mayorkas’ name will be equated with the likes of Benedict Arnold, and no amount of lies will change that fact—this generational curse on his family name will be on him and him alone. Our foreign enemies could not do to America, what this administration and the Democratic Party did in four years. We may never fully recover from this attack upon our nation, but we will indeed try. That’s what Patriots do!
I pray for two things.
1. That America will do a deep look into its heart and its behaviors, and confess to God that they were wrong and sinful, and then, in TRUE repentance, turn back to Him in ALL areas of life.
2. To show the fruit of turning back to God, I pray that the Democratic Party would go the way of the Dodo Bird, and end up on the ash heap of history.
If America has not learned its lesson, then it will eventually be destroyed. But there’s Hope—God always gives us hope! In the book of Micah, God pronounces judgment on Judah three times—BUT—at the end of each statement of judgement, he gives them hope IF they repent from rejecting Him and adopting the pagan culture around them. KNOW the warning of judgment, but heed the call to turn back to God—our ONLY Hope. 🙂
Come Quickly Lord Jesus!
We have had the same thing in NZ
There must be a way of tracking back to who the FEMA advisor was, who sent the discriminatory order. Then track back through the chain of command to find the originators. They need to be known in order to be held accountable. We read about so much corruption, but so often, there are no actors to attach the actions to, and therefore no way to shine a light at the root cause in order to take legal action and stop it. Also, without names and faces the public are left with an unclear impression that quickly fades. Without consequences what's the point in knowing this. I hope the incoming administration allows for more transparency.
Thanks Doc. Agree looking thru the prism of the government’s disastrous hurricane response is one good metric to understand why most Americans now understand the current regime was never their friend. Also as a Tennessean in Mark Greene’s district glad to see his quote defending we the people on this issue.
