FEMA: Weaponized Government
There was a huge story that broke over the weekend from The Daily Wire regarding FEMA openly refusing to assist hurricane victims in Florida if they were Trump supporters. Once again, what was a “conspiracy theory” just a few weeks ago has now proven to be actual weaponization of the government against those of us on the right.
“FEMA Official Ordered Relief Workers to Skip Houses With Trump Signs”
A FEMA supervisor told workers in a message to “avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid, internal messages viewed by The Daily Wire reveal. The supervisor, Marn’i Washington, relayed this message both verbally and in a group chat used by the relief team, multiple government employees told The Daily Wire.
The government employees told The Daily Wire that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags were skipped from the end of October and into November due to the guidance, meaning they were not given the opportunity to qualify for FEMA assistance. Images shared with The Daily Wire show that houses were skipped over by the workers, who wrote in the government system messages such as: “Trump sign no entry per leadership.”
The good news is that this occurred in Florida, and the criminals at FEMA will have to deal with America’s Governor, Ron DeSantis.
I would like to politely counter one point that I have been reading on conservative Twitter, specifically, that this must be an organized effort within FEMA. That may not be true, which is even worse.
FEMA, like just about every other nook and cranny of the federal government, has been Obama-ized. Federal employees understand that they are deputized to advance the left’s agenda and use their government position as a weapon to target and punish conservatives. It is neither official nor written down, it is simply understood. Lois Lerner didn’t have to be instructed by Obama to use the IRS to target conservatives for harassment, and similarly, Marn’i Washington didn’t need to be told to deny FEMA services to conservatives. She knew that was her role in the politicized government apparatus, as do a great many of her colleagues and supervisors.
Marn’i Washington deserves jail time and her supervisors must be fired for creating an environment where this weaponization of government can flourish.
The whistleblowers at FEMA deserve much praise for their bravery in coming forward. Without the change in government that was voted into place last week, those whistleblowers would have likely found themselves the targets of persecution by the Obama-Biden regime.
At Harvard, November 5th Is Considered Worse Than October 7th
The very delicate and emotionally incontinent students at Harvard had their classes canceled at Harvard the day after Donald Trump’s election as President.
By contrast, after the October 7, 2023 mass-murder of Jews, including more than 40 Americans, classes went on as normal at Harvard.
The election of an American President who is a pro-Israel, Jewish ally is much more upsetting to the Harvard community than is the actual mass-murder of Jews.
Why would anyone hire a Harvard graduate? Why would anyone donate money to Harvard?
Speaking of which, my latest piece at The Blaze takes a look at the worsening liquidity crisis at Harvard and Columbia as repulsed donors continue to withhold contributions.
Donald Trump vs The Climate Hoax
The climate hysteria, and all of its wicked tentacles, serves as cover for the elimination of economic freedom, personal freedom, and the western standard of living.
To the great disgrace of the Republican Party, until Donald Trump came along, pretty much every Republican leader and presidential candidate had embraced the language of there being a “climate crisis” that must be addressed, albeit less radically than the Democrats propose. In effect, the establishment Republican position was “We must surrender to climate communism, but more slowly than the Democrats desire.”
God bless Donald Trump for daring to fully reject the premise of the climate hoax, and thank you to Wide Awake Media for posting this video of Donald Trump’s emphatic rejection of the hysteria:
"One of the most urgent tasks... is to decisively defeat the climate hysteria hoax."
"The radical left's fearmongering about climate and our future is... destroying America's economy, weakening our society, and eviscerating our middle class. It's really hurting us."
"We have to defeat the climate hoaxsters once and for all."
Mollie Hemingway recently pointed out that perhaps just 25% of the legacy conservative pundit class actually advocated voting for Trump. The rest of them preened about how their “conservative principles” prevented them from supporting Trump.
I can think of nothing more conservative than ending the climate hoax and stopping the globalist de-carbonization agenda, yet pretty much all of the “conservatives” at places like National Review prefer to surrender to the Democrats’ climate communism as a way of showing their principled virtuosity.
Your Terms Are Acceptable
In a hissy fit about Trump’s election, a French government spokesperson, Maud Bregeon, stated that Europe must take charge of its own destiny, including defense.
Your terms are acceptable, Ms. Bregeon.
