Bet ya Harris loses NC big. 

From the above Newsweek link:

However, SSP (The Shelter and Services Program) is a small share of FEMA's overall yearly budget. For the new financial year which began Oct. 1, the agency laid out a need for $33.1 billion.

"These claims are completely false," a DHS spokesperson told Newsweek Thursday, addressing the accusations by Abbott and others. "As Secretary Mayorkas said, FEMA has the necessary resources to meet the immediate needs associated with Hurricane Helene and other disasters.

"The Shelter and Services Program (SSP) is a completely separate, appropriated grant program that was authorized and funded by Congress and is not associated in any way with FEMA's disaster-related authorities or funding streams."

Lawmakers stunned as disaster funds left out of stopgap bill
 | 09/26/2024 07:05 AM EDT

 

But some lawmakers from disaster-prone states — on both sides of the aisle — were aghast this week at the lack of additional dollars for FEMA’s already depleted disaster relief fund and other federal disaster programs. Many of them were incensed that the typically bipartisan priority had fallen victim to partisan squabbles at such a dire time.

 

Indeed, as the House and Senate’s top four leaders met last weekend to negotiate a deal to keep the government funded, they were forced to acquiesce to the demands of Congress’ most conservative fiscal hawks, whose votes were thought to be pivotal for passage. They quietly stripped the CR of almost all supplemental funding, including for FEMA, according to multiple House appropriators.

 

And some members, like Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican who has resisted efforts to preemptively appropriate disaster dollars, voted against the CR.

 

“The right-wingers here, the MAGA crowd, even after disasters happen, they have opposed disaster aid for communities in need,” said a frustrated Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.).

Maybe they should get their talking points straight:

 

The Federal Emergency Management Agency can meet immediate needs but does not have enough funding to make it through the hurricane season, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters Wednesday.

Ah yes, the MSM spin 

 

Biden & Harris didn't even visit N. Caroline till Wednesday, and it's till Thursday in USA.

 

Trump was there on Monday   Contacted Musk for additional support with StarLink.

 

"“Since the Hurricane Helene disaster, SpaceX has sent as many Starlink terminals as possible to help areas in need,” Musk wrote in a post on the social platform X. “Earlier today, @realDonaldTrump alerted me to additional people who need Starlink Internet in North Carolina. We are sending them terminals right away.”

As usual, the MAGA types refused to fund disaster relief and then complain when there's no money for disaster relief.  Just like the infrastructure bill, when these same MAGA types refused to fund, yet, were more than happy to take credit when the money came into their districts.  These MAGA folks are real maggots. 

FEMA is short because it was left out of the Continuing Resolution.

Based on the reports from the ground I am getting, Samaritans Purse is doing a great job. Hopefully my cousins place is OK. Its an abject failure by the administration and you can spin all you want, but illegal aliens take precedence over US citizens under Harris.

FEMA funds are focused on immediate humanitarian assistance or emergency management not immigration enforcement or long-term migrant support. 

 

Do you have evidence to the contrary?.....please feel free to share.

Don't know about MAGA types, but Congress (dems & reps) seems to have no problems spending 100's of billions, if not a trillion overseas and in USA on non US citizens, when tax paying USA folks could use a bit of help.

 

Think they all need to check their priorities, and seem to forgot who they actually work for.

 

If that's not bad enough, they are 'borrowing' the money to do so, as the deficit continues to climb.

 

Guess they never heard the expressing ... "live within your means"

My brother's wife has family there.  Let's just say, she's not happy about the govt assistance or lack of, to be more specific.

You need to do a bit more research out there in Australia

 

 

 

I thought the whole thrust of Republicans was to get the government out of their lives?

 

Stop interfering, stop taxing (is this where the funds come from for disaster relief I wonder?), stop telling people what to do.

My prayers to her. I have a ton of friends and family out there. One of my friends is sheltering a bunch of folks from his neighborhood (like 4 families) because the road is out. He is survival prepared though so has power, etc. They havent seen anyone, not even down by the bridge leading to their subdivision, which is washed out.

Yes the North Carolina Republican candidate Mark Robinson is all class. Likely the  most appalling Republican candidate in all of the USA and that's saying something.

“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” Mayorkas said. “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”

 

(I'd note that "the season" is through Nov 30.)

Would Congress and the Harris/Biden admin have had to set aside the SSP money if there wasn't a self inflicted  border crisis?  Maybe they'd have that $billion to spend on FEMAs support of citizens after a hurricane.  Which isn't self inflicted.

We are talking about Kamala Harris's abject failure in this disaster and what difference does the governors race make? Talk about irrelevance.

The lantern has illuminated an honest man.

 

If Trump was Pres they would lay the bodies at his feet.

In FY 2024, SSP-C will provide $340.9 million to non-federal entities for services associated with noncitizen migrant arrivals in their communities.

FEMA Annual budget $29.5 billion (FY 2023)

"Hariis Lies" lol

 

Last night watched a video of Trump at Wisconsin from few days ago barking at a tiny crowd. Completely lost his mind utterly deranged

 

Absolute utter whackjob and a danger to socirty

More right wing lies, debunked but still they double down. Pathetic.

Your key claim  is that Harris will lose big in North Carolina and a factor in that is the performance of Mark Robinson  is it not.

SSP provides financial support to non-federal entities to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Well if all you read are those sources, perhaps it is. I know tons of ticket splitters in NC, since I am an NC registered Democrat who voted proudly for Trump, especially since I watch my friends and family suffer while Illegal aliens stay in hotels and get flown around the country with no id and get coddled by Marxist NGOs funded by my tax dollars, etc.

 

BTW, Robinson is on the ground out there, doing what he can.
