I was in the kitchen doing dishes, so I didn't hear the whole segment, but Laura Ingram brought up getting the USPS back in business for all the affected areas. People rely on the USPS to get their voting ballots. What if that doesn't happen in time for the election?
That's a good idea.
It doesn't matter how much you prepare when all the crap you prepare and all your prepper neighbors and the infrastructure is GONE!
President Trump Launches Fundraising Campaign to Aid Americans Devastated by Hurricane Helene — Raises Over $1 Million in Less Than Two Hours
As the Category Four storm leaves a path of destruction over 500 miles wide across several Southeastern states, more than 100 people have reportedly lost their lives, and millions are left without power.
But while the Biden administration fumbles in its response, President Trump is taking swift action to provide relief where it’s needed most.
As reported by The Gateway Pundit, Trump received a briefing on the catastrophic hurricane in Valdosta, Georgia, where he’s actively coordinating efforts to aid Americans affected by the storm.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris seems more interested in playing politics than providing actual help.
Harris, who claimed on social media to be “in constant contact with state and local officials to ensure communities have the support and resources they need,” was caught in yet another embarrassing gaffe.
In a photo she posted on X, she is shown wearing earphones, supposedly on a call with FEMA and local governors. But sharp-eyed observers immediately pointed out that her earphones weren’t even plugged into her phone.
It’s no wonder Trump isn’t waiting around for the Biden-Harris administration to take charge.
In a statement to the press on Monday morning, Trump blasted the White House’s unresponsiveness, saying: “They’re having a very hard time getting the President on the phone; he won’t get on, and of course, the Vice President, she’s out someplace campaigning, looking for money.”
Memories of Hurricane Katrina [Updated]
Hurricane Helene has devasted a wide swath of the Southeast, especially portions of North Carolina. Of course this has nothing to do with the government. A hurricane is what used to be known, quaintly, as an act of God.But some of us remember with bitterness how the Democratic Party press blamed President Bush for Hurricane Katrina, and used that absurd narrative to destroy Bush’s second term. The idea of holding presidents responsible for hurricanes was always ridiculous, and it has never been repeated, although the Democrats did make a halfhearted run at blaming President Trump for Hurricane Maria, which hit Puerto Rico.
But at least one reporter wondered whether Joe Biden had some role in the devastation wrought by Helene:
Response to emergencies like hurricanes is carried out overwhelmingly by state and local authorities who are on the scene, not by the federal government. Happily, no one at any level of government was waiting for instructions from the decrepit Joe Biden, calling in from his vacation home in Delaware.
Americans Coming Together: The Silver Lining in a Hurricane's Cloud
Hurricane Helene brought massive rainfalls and flooding at unprecedented levels, and from northern Georgia to the Southern Appalachians, to Western North Carolina, and parts of Eastern Tennessee, roads have been washed away, entire cities have been leveled, and populations devastated.
But had it not been for concerned citizens and loved ones, and some citizen journalists posting on X, the rest of the country would have been left in the dark. Up until this morning, the legacy media has all but ignored the destruction and never questioned when the worst of the weather started on Friday, why President Joe Biden was sunning himself at Rehoboth Beach, DE or why Vice President and selected Democrat nominee Kamala Harris was schmoozing with her donors in California, all while people lost their homes, their communities, and their lives.
From some reports on Sunday, despite federal emergency declarations being issued, FEMA had not even been activated. Not that they would have been much use at that point.
The One Video People Need to See About What Is and Is Not Going on in Western NC Post-Helene
As RedState has reported, the damage left behind by Hurricane Helene was nothing short of devastating for many communities in the southeast.
Western North Carolina was particularly hard hit by what was left of Helene, with massive amounts of rain that overwhelmed lakes and streams and caused widespread destruction. At least 35 have been confirmed dead with 600 said to be unaccounted for in Buncombe County as of this writing.
Viral video clips circulating on social media show roads that have been washed away, interstates that partially partially collapsed, businesses completely flooded, and homes and vehicles being swept away.

A Natural Disaster and an Infirm President | National Review
The White House insists the president is on the case.
www.nationalreview.com
The president’s continued deterioration is more than a curiosity. Those near him knew his absence of mind could affect his performance in the event of a crisis — and a crisis is now upon us.
Hurricane Helene cut a 600-mile swath of devastation across the American southeast. Communities from Florida’s A30 to the Smokey Mountains have been devastated. Thousands are without power and homeless. As of this writing, nearly 100 Americans were killed by the storm and the ensuing inland flooding.
The White House insists the president is on the case. “The White House says Biden was briefed Sunday night and made calls to state and local government officials in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina,” one report read. “The president is now directing the Federal Emergency Management Agency to assess what it needs to send relief to isolated communities.” Biden plans to deliver public remarks surrounding his response to the disaster later today.
If I remember correctly with Katrina, initially the Fed could not come in and just take over. FEMA resources had to be requested by State or Local authorities. The problem was neither the Mayor of Nola or the Governor of LA wanted to hand over authority to the Fed. Fed regulations were that when they come in, they are in charge. Maybe someone else can confirm.

Notice they used a woman of color for the feature image on the article. Yeah, that really sucks too, shame on them. And why is the Left so determined to divide people by preference even after a catastrophic weather event like Helene? We just don't get it.
Oh, and of course, she shut down the replies to her post.
From The19th:
Yeah, we're sure women are really worried about condoms and abortions right now while they're searching for loved ones and worrying about how they're going to find drinking water, food, gas, and shelter.
