Right now, an untold number of Americans throughout several southeastern states are still struggling to acquire basic necessities after Hurricane Helene ripped through the region a week ago — and our government is largely indifferent.
The devastation is nothing short of horrific. As of this article’s publication, officials reported that at least 202 people have died in the disaster, with many more still missing and awaiting rescue.
Among the areas hardest hit are Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina, the latter jurisdiction of which has racked up more deaths than any other state.
Some segments of southern Appalachia were completely submerged. Small towns have been swept away in the catastrophic flooding, leaving entire communities in shambles.
In years prior, the fallout from such a disaster would warrant national, wall-to-wall media coverage and devoted attention from America’s heads of state. But the United States is not the same country it once was.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris had to be practically dragged into disaster response mode after relaxing on the beach and attending campaign fundraisers, respectively, while the Category 4 storm wreaked havoc across the South. The same media that dishonestly and viciously attacked President George W. Bush for his response to Hurricane Katrina seemingly have no problem with Biden and Harris taking nearly a week to visit with victims of Helene’s rampage.
The situation couldn’t be anymore despicable if Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas wasn’t begging Congress to provide the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) with more cash after it shelled out more than a billion in taxpayer dollars servicing illegal aliens. Yes, you read that correctly: our government is claiming it can’t help Americans in need because it spent its disaster relief money on illegal immigrants who willingly violated U.S. sovereignty.
But let’s not pretend this is some kind of random, one-off incident.
The chief guiding principle of the Biden-Harris administration is its deep-seeded hatred for the Americans they’re supposed to serve — particularly those who reside in rural areas and love God and their country. As is often the case, this results in the demands of foreign nationals taking precedence over the needs of the U.S. citizenry.
The administration tells us it only has $750 for the North Carolinian mom who just lost her house to Helene but has been more than happy to ship tens of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to Ukraine to fight an indefinite war against Russia. When the White House dumped 20,000 Haitians into Springfield, Ohio, it wasn’t the native residents whose livelihoods were upended that got Biden and Harris’ sympathy — it was the Haitians who refused to conform to American culture and caused chaos within the community.

And while unrelated to illegal immigration, the chemical spill that poisoned East Palestine, Ohio, last year was similarly ignored by the Biden-Harris regime. As The Federalist’s Elle Purnell reported, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg waited a week and a half before finally acknowledging the crisis,” telling a reporter he was too busy to offer a message to suffering Ohioans because he was “taking some personal time.”
Got that? The chemical spill is problematic not because East Palestine residents don’t have safe drinking water or clean air, but because it interferes with Buttigieg’s “personal time.” How dare those filthy Ohioans inconvenience him!
The administration’s disdain for these communities and the Americans within them could not be more obvious than if it was painted on one of Hillary Clinton’s white pantsuits. The Marxists running our government hate America, and by extension, the people conserving the values that built her.
Unless your small town or community’s name starts with “Ukraine,” expect these soulless monsters to ignore your cries for help, no matter how dire. But given their level of incompetence, you may not want it anyways.
