America Last

Maybe it's just me but I always thought the United States was fully capable of providing relief to American victims of disasters while also providing foreign aid to victims of wars and disasters. I never knew that the two were mutually exclusive.

 

Well, Kam must cater to its anti-Semitic radical Islamist terrorist constituency in Michigan and other parts of the nation.

 

Is Lebanon a city in West North Carolina?
Lots of truth to the below imo

 

If by capable you mean putting the US further in debt than yes.

But considering the current disaster and the one coming, it is a tone deaf jester on American ears.

 

I think Lebanon is in Tennessee near Nashville. Lebanon Station is at the intersection of US19, SR121, and county road 336 in SE Levy County.

 

They sure seem to be with this Administration and Congress

 

Complaining just to complain. He’s giving $750 as part of Helene response

 

The desperation is damn near palpable. Heavy in the air like a wet blanket.

 

It's great when people suddenly realize that the US gives foreign aid to other countries and pretend that they're outraged. Outraged, by God!

 

I thought you were joking but yes there is a Lebanon Tennesde.

 

Mayorkas working 24/7 or shopping for new disaster zone clothes that will make him look cool on TV?

 

Shopping??!!!! LOCK HIM UP!

 

Reality is such an elusive creature for Cons. Simpler for them to just wait for the cult leader to dictate to them.

 

Definitely. Very capable group in terms of funding things.


You are now free, if you choose, to give the board a laugh by pretending you care about spending......after voting for the felon who instantly turned a decreasing deficit in the other direction, and racked up more debt than any POTUS in US history.

 

I'm old enough to remember the most recent multi-billion dollar funding for Israel, and how vurry vurry super angry Trumppublicans were that that money wasn't going to FEMA.

 

Nope. The entire federal government is one guy. His name is Kevin and he can either help with Helene recovery or help other countries.

 

Actually it's more like with the supporters of the defeated former president.

 

Maybe I'm wrong but if we have a national emergency does it really take more than a day or two to get FEMA money? Example: a dirty (radioactive) bomb goes off in NYC. My problem with FEMA has always been that gov't run programs aren't efficient. Now that we have so many DEI hires it's worse.

I've pulled a lot of permits in the past. The biggest pains in the butt have usually been women. They love to exercise their authority over alpha males. Two females and one male are the exceptions.

Example. I'm in Gainesville and people at a government agency in Orl a n d o needed 100 sheets of plywood because a hurricane was coming. I loaded my box truck with the plywood, came to Orlando and distributed 60 sheets of plywood @ $17.95 plus tax for for ~$1200. How do I move the other 40 sheets? I called Casselberry code enforcement and talked to a Janet Cooke. "Can I set up next to Home Depot and move the plywood? The answer was no because Janet said I was trying to profiteer by selling something I paid $17.95 plus tax for for $20. Meanwhile the line of cars trying to get into Home Depot was 1/4 of a mile long.

Same crap is happending in Western Carolina. Guys break the rules to get stuff done, women are sticklers for doing things by the book even if the net effect is negative.

Other people who post here can probably back me up on this.

 

I won’t join in on the guys do it better than girls lean but it is my experience the more Gov entities involved the longer it takes to get done.

Certainly true with clinical trials. NIH trials take forever to get up and going and have layers and layers of extra BS compared to privately run trials.
