They spent the budget on illegal immigrant invaders.

We have got to take back control of this country. I pray we can get that done with this next General election, but I won't hold my breath.
I've been saying all along that it's sicking that illegals are getting better treatment than our homeless vets. Now, on top of that, we have citizens that have lost everything and there's no help for them either, again, because all the money went to help illegals. Disgusting

You guys obviously don't know what FEMA's mission is.
It is not their job to render assistance after a natural disaster.
Their job is stated here (https://www.fema.gov/about/strategic-plan).

FEMA needs to be immediately disbanded. They are supposedly the world's best emergency response agency but have proven incompetent and negligent since their inception. In the Carolinas they are actively preventing rescue efforts and confiscating truckloads of supplies. All they do is show up several days late, make everything worse, then beg for money. FEMA needs to be disbanded before taking on the ATF and Department of Education, who also do nothing positive and make everything worse. FBI can take over bombing and machinegun investigations.
Katrina/Helene(?) FEMA was no where to be seen. Time to restart with something proactive.
2013 there was every emergency trailer sitting in Boulder. Blackhawk to Fort Collins was washed out. Every emergency trailer was sitting in Boulder. See a problem?
Govenment is not the answer.
Please stop giving them more power, more funds, etc.
Reserve power and funds, for the people.
Vote Trump. Vote for America.

Kamala Sends $157M to Lebanon After Claiming No Money for U.S. Hurricane Victims
The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there.
To that end, the United States will provide nearly $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon for essential needs such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict. This additional support brings total U.S. assistance to Lebanon over the last year to over $385 million.

I encourage all of you to take the links here and post them to all of your Social Media platforms you have accounts on.
We (the U.S.) have far too many people who continue to blindly follow politicians on the Left because they still believe these people have your best interests in mind.
Put the truth out there everywhere you can so any efforts at election fraud in November will be overwhelmed by real votes of those wanting to rid ourselves of the vermin who've gotten into office and don't care about the American people who put them there.
How can any federal agency run out of funding? They can print money at will.

Signalers gonna signal.
Harris (or her handlers) probably thinks this will demonstrate her fealty to the globalist leftist overlords in such a moving way that they will send enough money her way to buy the election.

Yeah, that's about what I figured was going on. In the 38 years I've worked for/with the .gov, there have been many times I've heard the phrase "that comes out of another pocket of money" (within the same organization).

This, like most internet news, isn't accurate.
FEMA has $35 billion annual budget for disaster relief.
The money spent on illegals comes from the Shelter & Services Program that is distributed by FEMA but comes from the Customs budget.
Blowhards on the right have mixed the two in order to point fingers and yell "SEE! They hate us!" at the top of their electronic lungs.

Well, I am sure it can be better spent on disaster relief.
I am not paying my taxes to accommodate a bunch of illegals that shouldn't even be here.
Re-direct those funds.

They have money and they are spending it wisely.

Bunch of incoherent nonsense.
What the fuck are you talking about?
97475
Indoctrinated federal pinheads have zero common sense nor critical thinking skills. Most have never been in the field. Just mindless drones following orders from other mindless drones to implement nonsense green and dei policies over actually doing the mission.
Anyone with common sense would know that battery/electric powered tools are dumb in a disaster. Not just from lack of power, but from being tethers to a power source. Gas tools are mobile, instantly rechargeable. A few gallons of petrol can last far longer than even the newest battery tech.
Electric chainsaws? Wow, they do not need to trim shubbery.
Facebook "factcheckers" are now claiming it is a conspiracy theory to say FEMA is blocking rescue aid.

But they reduce pollution.
And without power, they reduce pollution even more!!

Yup. Amazing when people jump to conspiracy when really, its a combination...
You have a majority of two kinds of employees in the kind of entity that FEMA is:
1. Young fresh-faced interns that are fresh out of school and need some checkboxes checked but have no common sense.
2. Old MF curmugeons that ultimately settled into gov work for the stability because they are not competative or bright enough for the commercial side.
To couple it together, these gov agencies are primarily great at inefficiency. I hesitate to call it entirely unnecessary, it's just something that comes about as a by-product of unnecessary people developing justification for ongoing employment. On the commercial side, fat is trimmed for profitability. On the gov side, especially depending on how they contract (Cost+ for instance), the ongoing development of justification for continued employment ultimately results in ongoing hiring of unnecessary people whom then have to stretch to create their own necessity for sake of job stability, which ultimately creates a feedback loop of inefficiencies requiring additional employees that, while yes, they do work, don't accomplish much per capita in the sense of a narrow mission.
Example: Health and safety in an agency that is office jobs develops a lot of programs and training, lots of reports and meetings, lots of metrics, tracking, meetings, etc....
At the end of the day, 12 people would be replaced by one in a commercial setting. That doesn't mean the dozen people are lazy.
If you want a correct, appropraite response in a very short timeframe, you want the one guy. The dozen WILL fuck it up between all the meetings, metrics, hands in the pie, reports, sign-offs, etc.
And FEMA is not just a dozen. It's a couple thousand.
Reminds me of project management guys in agencies. Want to take something that two guys could finish in three weeks and legitimately make it take two years? Project management, FTW.
I'm amazed chainsaws were delivered at all, to be honest. Could've easily been a 20 pallets of tampons and toothpaste instead.

Some federally contracted vendor got paid handsomely for them for sure. Probably double or triple retail. No doubt they were happy to get them out quickly while they had the chance.

FEMA employees are members of American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE).
Union members have no need to be efficient or effective. In fact, initiative is often dissuaded by both fellow workers and union representatives.
As to the electric chainsaws, one unsubstantiated picture should not be taken as proof of anything. That picture could easily be from a hardware store in California.

I worked with FEMA during the 2013 floods. Even back then, the sustainability push was on for the materials and equipment. So seeing electric tools being delivered is completely believable.
They wanted us to use electric ATVs in places with no charging capabilities.

We have many, many natural disasters spanning decades with documented evidence of FEMA waste. Warehouses full of FEMA waste.
So yeah, maybe the chainsaws weren't from FEMA. But anyone who has paid attention over the years knows that's par for the course and typical FEMA (and typical Fedgov in general).
It would be harder to believe it wasn't true.
