Must watch TV as the Press Briefing leads to KJP storming out
Peter Doocy & KJP get heated over Biden sending money to Lebanon without Congressional approval but refusing to do so for North Carolina.
Doocy: "You can't call a question you don't like misinformation."
3:03 PM · Oct 7, 2024. //
But as Doocy pointed out, Biden is "fond" of saying, "Show me your budget and I will tell you what you value.". //
Imagine you're suffering from the hurricane or you have family who are, and you see that, what must you think? Why can't that money be deployed for hurricane relief if it can be deployed for relief for people in Lebanon? And why are you spending it on Lebanon?
Doocy also noted that Joe Biden was posting about how the Small Business Administration disaster loan program was going to be running out of money too, "if Congress doesn't come back."
To most people, Doocy explained, "A taxpayer dollar is a taxpayer dollar is a taxpayer dollar."
"That is not misinformation," he declared. "That is a FACT." //

What is asinine about the money to Lebanon, is the people who need "refugee" money are Hezbollah, their operatives and families who have been defeated by Israel.
So Israel finally gets rid of them and here we are paying for temporary housing for the terrorists. How nice of us.
Is Joe Biden - or whoever is pulling his strings (Jill) - trying to sabotage Kamala Harris' presidential campaign? Because if he were, it would be hard to see what he would be doing differently. //
One of two things is happening here: Either the Biden camp (and I think we all know who is really in charge in that group) is demonstrating a staggering display of incompetence in scheduling and they aren't even trying to speak to whoever is in charge of setting up Kamala Harris' string of feather-soft interviews, or the Biden camp is miffed at the way old Joe was shoved rudely aside (for which we can scarcely blame them) and is trying to deliberately sabotage the Harris run for the White House.
Or, we could embrace the power of "both."
While Harris was playing politics and trying to garner headlines by going after DeSantis, just a few hours later, Biden responded by saying he spoke to DeSantis and everything was great. //
She laid the groundwork for a narrative that DeSantis rebuffed federal help and was putting politics above the safety of Floridians, and no sooner than she did, Biden showed up to say the opposite. He could have easily played along and he didn't.
Is that just another coincidence? I can't say for sure, but man, does it feel like he's taking little shots at Harris throughout the campaign. In the last month alone, Biden has contradicted the vice president multiple times regarding her attempt to separate herself from the administration.
‘There is deep frustration,’ one North Carolina official who works with groups in the Hurricane-battered areas told The Federalist.

If this is true...and I think it's likely...then Republican Governors all across the nation need to be prepared to deal with the violence quickly. One of Trump's failures in his first administration was the near-complete lack of action to confront and suppress any revolts that occur. This nation cannot survive another orgy of lootings, burnings, murders, and assaults that Trump tolerated during the George Floyd unrest.
During the 1906 earthquake and fire in San Francisco, the Army left their barracks with orders to shoot looters. I don't know if any looters were actually shot, but the threat alone facilitated cleanup, and restoration of services pretty quickly. If we have another wave of George Floyd-style revolts...and the Republicans sit on their hands as they did the first time...the political price to be paid will be unbelievable. That means you Gov Kemp and you too Gov Hogan. //

If he thought Kamala was going to win he wouldn't be talking about transfer of power.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This story was first published August 9, 2024 at 6:56 PM EDT, but is being republished, with additional commentary, in light of additional media reports on the issue.)
Audio from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department's protective detail for President Joe Biden on July 17 was released Friday afternoon by Oversight Project, which obtained the recordings through a Freedom of Information Act request. Those recordings confirm RedState's reporting that Biden was first headed to University Medical Center, a trauma center, after he suddenly canceled a speaking engagement reportedly due to illness, then suddenly diverted directly to Harry Reid International Airport.
For his part, Biden just keeps tearing down that narrative in no uncertain terms. On Friday, he showed up in the White House briefing room and again reiterated that Harris owns every part of the administration's policies and decision-making. For context, he did the same thing while appearing on "The View" in late September, claiming that he had delegated most tasks to the vice president. //
BIDEN: Well, she's, I'm in constant contact with her. She's aware, we're all, we're singing from the same song sheet. We, she helped pass all the laws that are being deployed now. She was a major player in everything we've done, including passage of legislation we were told we could never pass. And she's been, and, her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things we're doing. //
If there's one thing we know about Biden, it's that he's a petty, vindictive man. //
Biden has had ample opportunity at this point to help elevate Harris in what is already a tough race. Instead, he's repeatedly countered her campaign's narrative and not taken basic actions that could improve the environment she's running in. It's getting hard to believe it's not purposeful. //

A lot of people who think the government is a mess are upset that it has been slow to respond to Helene. Of course it has. What did you expect?
In fact, it was FIVE DAYS after the storm struck that Joe Biden really mobilized the government. The Southern Baptist Convention was already on the ground while the flood waters were still raging.
The government is not going to help you.
You think FEMA is a mess? You’re damn right it is. You do not need to imagine maliciousness when the government that got research showing COVID doesn’t spread well outside decided to shut down beaches. You do not need to imagine maliciousness when the government that got research showing COVID mostly does not affect kids chose to shut down elementary schools. You do not need to imagine maliciousness when the government cannot deliver the mail competently, which is an Article 1, Section 8 responsibility, unlike disaster relief.
Besides, these people are fools, and a dementia patient leads them.
Pete Buttigieg and the Biden Administration have hindered private aviation’s ability to rescue people and ferry supplies as needed because Buttigieg et al put their trust in Uncle Sam’s man boob. Meanwhile, in North Carolina, neighbors are helping neighbors. Towns are rallying. Private helicopter pilots are defying threats of arrest to rescue people. Private pilots are shuttling supplies as needed. Baptists and Mormons are working together as first responders.
The question should not be about the government stopping citizens' private charity but about the response of those citizens and communities to the government trying to stop them. After all, the government is ultimately beholden to the people.
Joe Biden's government wants people to rely on the government. After all, Democrats believe the government is the only thing we are all a part of. They forget about the community. We are all part of one. And our local community is what will help us through hard times. The local communities of North Carolina will provide more help than FEMA. The state government of North Carolina and its neighbors will provide more immediate resources and do more heavy lifting than the federal government and that is by design and how it should be.
FEMA has prioritized equity for relief distributions, and it’s still looking for underserved non-white communities in the mountains to help first.
FEMA and the feds should be a last resort. These disasters are best recovered at the state level, with an assist from the Feds. Local and state disasters are not, after all, in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution.
Currently, however, some people on social media profit from rumors, unsourced allegations, and lies. My personal favorite is about Chimney Rock, NC, where the feds have purportedly told people they’re going to leave the bodies in the street and let them rot, then bulldoze the town and take the land. Seriously — that allegation had over 2,000,000 views on Twitter.
It is not true.
How do I know? I asked my friend who lives in Chimney Rock who survived the disaster.
Lots of people are showing drone footage, claiming no one is coming to help the locals. Well, someone is there—bulldozers and dump trucks are working. You can see them in the very footage used as proof no one is there to help.
It is probably not FEMA, but it is not supposed to be. Despite the branding, FEMA is not actually a first responder and never has been. We’ve only been conditioned to think FEMA comes first because of Anderson Cooper’s outrage about the incompetent state and federal response to Katrina on CNN in 2005.
The Southern Baptists always show up first.
Americans show up first. They are first in and last out, as they should be. The government is not malicious. The trolls are preying on many people’s existing distrust of government to sow more discord and division. If it sounds super outrageous online, it just might not be true. //
What is true is that Americans will take care of each other, with or without the federal government. And this, my friends, is another reminder that we should not grow the federal government for Republican purposes. We should gut it and encourage people to rely more on their local communities and states.
In his pamphlet, “A Simple Way To Pray,” Martin Luther said of the line “Give us this day our daily bread,” in the Lord’s Prayer, that we should reflect on it praying, in part, “Grant to every estate-townsman or farmer-to be diligent and to display charity and loyalty toward each other.”
We get our daily bread not directly from God, but from the farmer who grows the wheat, the harvester who harvests the wheat, the petrol man who makes the gas to fuel the combine and truck that goes to market, the grocer who sells it, and the relief operator who buys it and delivers it to the mountains to those in need. It is the body of Christ working and the people in communities working who are going to provide relief and rescue.
The government will not save us. FEMA will not save us. We will save each other.
“[S]eek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Je 29:7). (2016). Crossway Bibles.
The world is exploding – not just the Middle East. Russia is, again, rattling nuclear sabers. A thug union leader, who resembles Nikita Khrushchev playing a “mafia capo,” issued a Khrushchev-like “we will bury you” threat. A massive disaster is unfolding in America’s South. Joe has been napping.
The people close to him knew that he was a human train wreck. Jill Biden had to have known that even before he announced in 2020. Much like Edith Wilson taking the reins for her own addled husband, Jill Biden has been the titular president for at least two years. She knew. So did Kamala Harris. Not once has a debate moderator asked that very basic “leading” question.
"When did you know that Joe was incapable of being president?"
Sure, they would lie, but make her face the camera and lie to our faces.
Kamala Harris knew that her boss was incapable of acting as president, yet because of optics and Jill Biden's hubris, an addled, incompetent Joe Biden was “allowed” to stay in the presidency. A human head of broccoli is "running" the executive branch.
The world is falling apart but because of backroom politics, we have “Bob” from Shady Hills as President of the United States.

God stands back. He did with Israel. After doing EVERYTHING for his people, many times over, he allowed, what they allowed. You believe you are smarter than the Creator? You believe you can live among pagans and evil and take what you want from me and ignore what you don't like?
Prophets warned. People ignored.
Pretty much where we are.
Look around. People still believe government will save them. We have very little regard for the One who controls the universe.
Joe Biden is a perfect example of why governments have and will always fall. He believes he is God.
Seidhom said he tried to de-escalate and asked the official for instructions on how to communicate with the Lake Lure Fire Department while he was flying a rescue mission near the town. Seidhom said the fire official ordered him to leave and not come back.
“If that’s what you want us to do, we’ll leave no issue. And I explained to him that I left my son on the side of the mountain, and I left another victim. I was going to go back and bring them. It was already set up for the landing spot and then I would get out of his area. He told me I wasn’t going to go back up the mountain to get them, I was going to leave them there.”
Seidhom said he asked the official for a specific reason he was ordering him to stop his rescue efforts. “You’re interfering with my operation,” is the reason Seidhom said the fire official gave.
“I’m going back and getting my copilot. He said, ‘If you turn around and go back up the mountain, you’re going to be arrested.’ I said, ‘Well, sir, I’m going back to get my copilot, I don’t know what to tell you.'”
Seidhom said the official called over two law enforcement officers and again threatened him with arrest if he flew back up the mountain.
“At that point, I had to make a decision. I have a victim, I have my son, and I politely asked the officers, told him the situation again, explained everything, told them who I’d been coordinating with, and I said, ‘Hey if I go back up and get this victim and bring him down to this landing spot that other emergency personnel have designated, am I going to be arrested? And the officers’ response was, ‘Man, I really don’t know what to do in this situation.’ I said, ‘So you can’t tell me if I’m going to get arrested or not?’ And he said, ‘Man, I’m not sure what to do.'”
The out-of-state chief and fire captain Seidhom said he encountered at the landing zone spoke with him before he took off.
“They came back over and said, ‘Hey, man, we can’t tell you to go get the victim. We can’t even ask you to go get the victim, but we can tell you if you come back with the victim, we’ll have you a designated landing spot and we’ll make sure they don’t come over here,” Seidhom told WJZY.
“So, at that point, I felt like the other person was going to pressure him to arrest me when I come back with the victim and then my son would have been left on the side of a mountain with this person to go and rescue him,” Seidhom said. //
The fire official told Seidhom to report to the Rutherford County Airport and wait for Federal Aviation Administration officials to meet with him, according to Jordan Seidhom.
The father of two got back into his chopper, turned it in the direction of the mountain and lifted off right back to where he left his son and the woman’s husband. He picked his son up and told the husband what happened at the drop-off with the Lake Lure fire official.
Seidhom took off and looked back at the husband, standing helpless in his crumbling driveway as the help he thought would come for him flew away. Seidhom said the fire official told him the fire department’s ground crew would walk up the mountainside to rescue the man “in a few hours.” Seidhom said it was a three-minute flight from the couple’s driveway to the landing site where he left the woman with first responders.
Seidhom and his son flew to the Rutherford County airport, just as they were directed.
“I did leave the Rutherford Airport. I knew at that point he had no jurisdiction, I was legal in what I was doing, and I was following all FAA guidelines and airspace guidelines. I was on private property,” Seidhom said.
The Seidhoms spent three hours at the airport, but no one from the Federal Aviation Administration came.
Within a half-hour of the fire official and the arrest threat, Seidhom said a Temporary Flight Restriction was set up over the Lake Lure gap, right in the center of where he and the fire official faced off minutes earlier. //
Seidhom said the fire official told him to tell any other pilots he knew that they would also be arrested if they came back. Seidhom said he was the only helicopter within 40 nautical miles of Lake Lure at the time.
After the encounter with the fire official, Seidhom decided to fly back to his home in Pageland, South Carolina, and call off his efforts to help. //
“I’m sorry, if I had to do it over again, I would have stopped and I would have rescued as many people until they decided they were going to arrest me,” said Seidhom.

Clearly, this malicious antipathy is intentional. So, the trillion dollar question is: why?
The Occam's Razor answer is that these suffering folks are mostly white, mostly Republican voters. So, the government doesn't care . . . or worse. If they die or are stuck wallowing in their destroyed homes, then they won't vote and key states go blue next month.
But my Spidey-senses tells me there might be something else going on. Maybe Joe Biden is getting payback against Harris-Pelosi-Shumer-Deep State for forcing him out. He's slow-walking all this aid to drive outrage in key swing states to ensure Harris loses those states.
Only the President can invoke Taft-Hartley to end a strike of national importance. But Brandon's not invoking the law . . . and it's going to bring lots of pain to lots of people ahead of the election.
Maybe Brandon has just enough grey matter left to get his revenge on those who crushed his dream of remaining President before he goes into a full vegetative state. Just maybe. //

NOBODY. Nobody on the planet is this incompetent. The only possible conclusion is that this is intentional.
Why?
NC is a critical swing state next month. The Dems are all clustered in the Piedmont to the east, where the academic & research triangle sits. The mountain side of the state (except for the lunatic clownshow of Asheville itself) is the Republican stronghold.
People with no power or water or livelihood don't vote.
Dead Republicans can't vote.
People who have been taught a lesson that failing to bend then knee has consequences are afraid to vote.
The only American disaster in my long life that would have bodies hanging in trees and underwater in cars a week out, that has no govt helicopter or supply support, that has government trying to actively BLOCK civilian rescue flights, is this one.
That can NOT be an accident.
So what's happening in WNC right now? Well, the sun has just come up, but:
- Yesterday, private NC & SC pilots airlifted 26 tons of food to us.
- Yesterday, the skies were full of private helicopters... not government.
- Yesterday, utility trucks from a plethora of southern states worked 24 hours to try to get power against massive odds.
- Yesterday, our local restaurants with any power or water at all gave free meals to everyone.
- Yesterday, donated water trucks pulled up in parking lots all over NC and people carried whatever they could: jugs, bottles, bins, even cat litter boxes, to scoop up some lifesaving water for their families.
- Yesterday, volunteers tried to clean up 500 mentally & physically disabled people left to rot in their own waste in a low-income complex in Asheville, but were deterred by looters.
- Yesterday, farmers from SC & north GA brought what feed they could to starving herds wandering WNC.
- Yesterday, animal shelters across the south desperately tried to find airlifts & transport for starving, stranded, & lost pets, but all the volunteer vehicles are needed to rescue people who are running out of time.
- Yesterday, police were ordered to stop anyone not local from taking passable interstates into the hard-hit areas, so volunteer relief supplies are stymied. One assumes they're acting on directives from the Democrat governor or FEMA bureaucrats. Social media was full of ways to out-fox them by taking passable back roads (scarce as those are).
- Yesterday, volunteers seeking FEMA in both SC and NC were turned away, but only after the FEMA workers took the meager cash donations they carried with them. FEMA, you see has smugly announced that it's out of money for this hurricane season, despite their 29.2 BILLION dollar budget and their decision APRIL 2024 to give 640,000,000 to DHS for illegal aliens.
Illegals will vote Democrat, now or later. 640 million.
WNC folks will vote Republican.

"...this is NOT the National Guard; it is the organization Ron DeSantis formed that caused some to befoul themselves over the thought that he may be going full Mussolini or something."
Texas formed the Texas State Guard in 1871 with Federal recognition starting in WW II. Among other missions, the State Guard takes over securing and operating the TXNG facilities on activation of the TXNG units to Federal service.
It has been nearly a week since Hurricane Helene hit western North Carolina, and Joe Biden has finally announced on behalf of whoever is running the country that he has authorized 1,000 federal troops from Fort Bragg (I will never call it anything else), North Carolina, to assist in disaster relief operations a mere 250 miles away in Western North Carolina.
These 1,000 troops will constitute the overwhelming federal military disaster response in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia.
According to the Department of Defense, the federal military involvement in this five-state catastrophe is minimal:
...
- Four helicopters with para-rescue teams are at McGhee Tyson Airport in Knoxville, Tennessee.
- Eight Army helicopters and ten Navy helicopters were available at Fort Bragg on Monday.
- Thirty high-water vehicles are at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, for reasons that are unclear.
The critical resources needed in the hardest hit areas of Western North Carolina are helicopters for getting stranded people out of danger and bringing supplies to areas cut off by flooding. As of this afternoon, the only military aircraft available are 11 from Florida, two from South Carolina, seven from Tennessee, and one from Virginia. Some of those may be in use in North Carolina as both Florida and South Carolina have sent National Guard contingents to North Carolina.
A lot of hard questions are being asked.

As an aside, Howard's story of petty bickering among local officials seems to be spot on; see Pilot flying Helene rescue missions in NC ordered out, threatened with arrest.

To qualify for federal military assistance after a disaster, the Stafford Act must be invoked. This requires a governor to request assistance under that law. Biden declared a state of emergency in North Carolina on September 26 which released some federal aid. Governor Roy Cooper made a Stafford Act request on September 27), but Biden delayed invoking the Stafford Act until today, Wednesday. //
Note the tasking includes a single Forward Support Company. This is rather astounding as that unit has extremely limited capabilities. It has an aid station, a field kitchen, about a half-dozen trucks, and vehicle repair section. What is needed in Western North Carolina is emergency generators, communications, heavy engineering equipment, medical support, cargo haul capability, and helicopters. Even though Fort Bragg has well over 100 helicopters, only eight have been tasked to assist in recovery and relief operations.
Why has the tap been turned off to military assistance for North Carolina and other battered states? One can't help but remember this statement by Biden.

"The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects that deficit spending for fiscal 2024 will reach a staggering $1.9 trillion. This comes on top of the $7 trillion added to the federal debt under Biden, bringing us to the highest level of indebtedness in our nation’s history, surpassing the previous high during World War II.
"Biden’s insatiable deficit spending has not only lit the fuse on record inflation but has resulted in the highest interest rate hikes in a quarter century. The cost just to service our national debt has increased by $540 billion, or 153%, since Biden took office. Those net interest expenses represented 9% of federal revenue in 2021 and are projected to double to 18% in 2024 and rise to 23% in 2034.
"Massive federal spending along with failed economic policies under unified Democratic control of government caused inflation to climb to 9.1% in June 2022. Inflation is still sticking at levels well above the Federal Reserve’s target for reducing interest rates.
"In total, prices have risen nearly 20% since Biden became president, forcing families to pay more than $17,000 more per year, or $1,400 per month, for the same goods and services. Sadly, inflation has grown faster than income over the last three years, reducing real wages by 4% since January 2021."

Whenever states try to limit illegal immigration, democrats (and their lapdog judges) tell us immigration is under federal jurisdiction, and we have to capitulate to their enabling of foreign invasion.
When President Trump sought to enforce immigration laws, the democrats responded with "sanctuary" cities and states, telling us local jurisdictions were to decide.
The judges let them have it both ways, both ways encouraging invasion, and now we have hundreds of thousands admitted criminals, many convicted or accused murderers and rapists, roaming free and putting us all (except the democrats behind their security barriers) at risk.
Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants with sex offenses and homicide convictions are loose on the streets, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data provided to lawmakers this week. //

As you have said, Ukrainians have tried to avoid being “captured by American domestic politics,” and “influencing the choices of the American people” ahead of the November election. Clearly that objective was abandoned this week when Ambassador Markarova organized an event in which you toured an American manufacturing site. //
Support for ending Russia’s war against Ukraine continues to be bipartisan, but our relationship is unnecessarily tested and needlessly tarnished when the candidates at the top of the Republican presidential ticket are targeted in the media by officials in your government.
These incidents cannot be repeated. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I trust you will take immediate action. //
Speaker Johnson is correct. The Ukrainian ambassador either knowingly or unknowingly embroiled her president and her nation's struggle for self-determination in a US presidential campaign on the side of the probable loser. Zelensky should take the "L," fire his ambassador, apologize, and get Hillary Clinton to make him a huge red button labeled "RESET." //

Because Johnson is gaslighting. He doesn't give a crap. Recall an ambassador, which means nothing. This is putting on a show for the rubes to make them think the GOP cares. As long as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, etc keeps passing them shekels, they won't care. Forever war it is. //

I don't think that Zelensky was misled here. He made a conscious choice to criticize the Republican candidates and then allowed himself to be flown at U.S. taxpayer expense to an appearance that was basically a Democrat campaign photo op. He did this on purpose, because he views the Republican ticket as less reliable for his country's interests. He wants Harris because Harris is Biden 2.0, but somehow dumber.
In short, he's willing to saddle Americans with four or eight more years of catastrophic misrule if that's what it takes to protect his country's interests. I respect his view on that, since I prefer to look out for my own country's interests over Ukraine -- but it doesn't mean that I have to accept his choice. I'd rather see Ukraine completely disappear than suffer through another four years of Democrat evil.
Why? Because my family is more important than the entirety of Ukraine.
