Whistleblower Claims That FEMA Skipped Entire Neighborhoods If They Sported Three or More Trump Signs; House Republicans Demand Inspector General Investigate
Update: Biden Decrees $1 Billion in Aid for Storm Victims -- For Africa

Another conspiracy theory turns out to be 100% true.

House Republicans on Tuesday called for the inspector general to open up an "immediate" investigation into FEMA over allegations that relief workers skipped the homes of Trump supporters throughout Florida and North Carolina, according to a letter first shared with The Daily Wire.
House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Chair Sam Graves (R-MO) and Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) demanded Homeland Security Inspector General Joseph Cuffari probe allegations that fired FEMA supervisor Marn'i Washington's instructions to "avoid homes advertising Trump" in Lake Placid, Florida, may have been part of a broader agency policy.
"The Committee is requesting that you immediately open an investigation into the multiple allegations of the deliberate avoidance of homes with Trump campaign or political signs during the agency's response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton," Graves and Perry wrote, citing reporting from The Daily Wire.
Aside from Washington's guidance, the lawmakers said that they were aware of allegations that FEMA workers bypassed entire neighborhoods in North Carolina where Trump supporters lived.
"In North Carolina, the Committee is aware of reports of FEMA employees skipping any home that displayed a 'Make America Great Again,' 'Drain the Swamp,' 'Don't Tread on Me' or Trump campaign sign. If the FEMA field team encountered three or more of these signs, the field team could abandon the entire neighborhood without notifying hurricane victims of assistance available to them," the lawmakers wrote.
"The Committee is increasingly concerned that this discriminatory practice of avoidance was more widespread than reported, and could have harmed victims who may still be unaware of the Federal relief benefits available to them," they added.
Testifying on Capitol Hill last month, FEMA Director Deanne Criswell said that she believed the incident in Florida to be isolated and denied that FEMA had any "proactive" policies that would lead employees to skip homes.

37 There's also some kerfuffle over DOJ/IG's J6 report. Horowitz has obviously been a ridiculous figure since his absurd conclusion re "investigation" of Hillary's massive Espionage Act crimewave (that the comically bad decisions that amounted to completely mooting the investigation were "reasonable judgement calls" or something like that).

And there's the DHS IG report on something - related to the facilitated mass illegal migration of the last few years? - also on ice well past its time for release. I think. Following the illegality, malfeasance, corruption, stupidity, arrogance, and mediocrity of the country's collapsed institutions is tiring and infuriating, so I just skim now.

I have a friend who ended up with 3 signs on his lawn alone. It's an interesting story. Living in the belly of the beast, he was prepared for signs to be stolen. His house is on the corner of a 4-way stop, so there was good exposure.

Every morning he would check outside. When the first sign disappeared, he replaced it with two signs. When they were missing the next morning, he replaced them with three signs.

The thieves apparently figured out (duh) that they were actually playing a part in increasing exposure for Trump, and the thievery stopped.

124 I saw a story from an African aid worker that was interesting.

He said that there was a young man in the village who decided he wanted to start his own business so he saved his money and then started a small bakery.

He set up at a little stand in the village selling his bread and shortly one of the village elders came by. The elder took all the man's bread claiming the children of the village were hungry and needed the bread more then the baker did. And what did the baker learn? To not save his money or invest his time because the elders would just take it.

Now, maybe this elder was being honest and he really did just want to feed hungry kids but what did the baker learn? To not save his money or invest his time because the elders would just take it. So overall the village lost out because instead of having a bakery feeding and employing people they'll just have another guy doing whatever the minimum to get by is.

And yes, this is the story of Soviet America as well isn't it? Just not on quite this scale of course...yet.

Presidents have plenary power of pardon.

"Judicial scrutiny" would be a court very quickly tossing any lawsuit because any challenge is unconstitutional nonsense.

There is grounds to challenge the "whatever he did" element of the pardon. Precedent is clear the president can pardon people, but logic says he has to say what he is pardoning them for.

But...wait until Biden leaves office, THEN arrest Hunter for Burisma bribery and child sex trafficking.

153 I saw a story from an African aid worker that was interesting.

He said that there was a young man in the village who decided he wanted to start his own business so he saved his money and then started a small bakery.

He set up at a little stand in the village selling his bread and shortly one of the village elders came by. The elder took all the man's bread claiming the children of the village were hungry and needed the bread more then the baker did. And what did the baker learn? To not save his money or invest his time because the elders would just take it.

Yep. This is true in just about any third world shithole country. If you're a standout success, the cops, local government, crime bosses, etc. will all swarm on you and take your profits and then some. I know some people will snark and say it's the same in America, but you've no idea. It's orders of magnitude worse out there.

That's a question I have as well, but there's definitely precedent.

Ford's pardon of Nixon was like that.

Also, other broad pardons have been signed like pardoning draft dodgers.

It's probably an open question about whether these are valid or not, but it's more of an academic question because I cannot imagine any court deciding that this is the moment to challenge decades of accepted use of pardons (outside of ninnies who get paid to talk politics, that is).

Now, sure, they can fire you for "insubordination", but if you are clear about your principles and values and are convinced that your position if the right one...then you can pursue renumeration down the road.

Disney has suffered major recent box office failures as consumers reject agenda-driven movie releases:

"The Marvels" (2023): This film had the lowest opening weekend earnings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's history, resulting in a net loss of $237 million for Disney.

"She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" (2022): Canceled after one season

"Ms. Marvel" (2022): The series introduced Kamala Khan, Marvel's first South Asian Muslim superhero, whose dialogue was modeled after Kamala Harris was canceled after one season

"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" (2023): Despite high expectations, the film incurred a loss of $143 million, making it one of Disney's largest financial film failures

"Wish" (2023): This animated feature opened to a disappointing $31.7 million over its five-day Thanksgiving debut, leading to a loss of $131 million.

"Haunted Mansion" (2023): Failed to recoup its production costs, resulting in a $117 million loss.

So in we go...with no frigging idea who is in charge.
We start throwing food at them. The clans fight for the food. Then they fight us.
Next growing season is back to normal. Now farmers can't sell their crops because of all the free shit. Farms fail. No food. Clans fight harder for the free shit.
We're stuck in the middle. Still no idea how the fu*k it got this way.

Machine politics makes stupid politicians.

The idea that they could get rid of Biden in July of an election year and then hand the nomination over to anyone other this his sitting VP who was already on the damn ticket was the thinking of a addled brain incapable of rational thought and someone who simply does not understand how electoral politics works.

It's the idea of someone who thinks they have total control over a process they obviously didn't have total control over.

271 I have told this story. As part of my Master's Degree at GWU I took what they called "the FEMA Course" - formal title was something about disaster management. Anyway, the professor was well known, he was the highest non-appointed official in FEMA during the Clinton administration.

He was, as you might imagine, a big Democrat. And he said that when the Clinton people came in they "knew" who their big supporters were - like himself - and promoted him. He said that Clinton was a genius because he realized how FEMA could be a political tool. Like they sent money to Charlotte, NC, for snow removal. First time ever FEMA funds had been used for that. But the Mayor was a star in the Dem party and the DNC was going to be held there.

When Republicans are in charge they don't use it like that. Look at the zillions Bush sent to New Orleans and Trump sent to Puerto Rico.

But the Dems know what power is and how to use it.

The Mayor has refused to pay the fine. Stay tuned for further updates.

326 Hey, got a question on that Biden Clemency pardon. As usual, Biden went off script in that thing by stating that part of the justification was that Hunter is five and 1/2 years sober.

Facts not in evidence. Joe is just repeating what Hunter has told him. A sober person who has actually worked any recovery program takes responsibility for their actions and makes amends or corrections where they can. It is about telling the truth and stopping the lies and bullshit. Hunter does the opposite. He even denied that his daughter Navy Joan was his until DNA proved otherwise and still tried to get out of paying child support. That is the character of an addict scumbag and I have no reason to believe that he has changed or is sober. Skipping out on paying rent on that expensive home in Venice Beach is another tell.

Very much an Obama thing.

Remember when he'd have books with the dust covers on and facing outwards for all of his campaign stops so the press could take photos and tell everyone what he was reading?

And then when he became president he suddenly stopped having any interest in books.

Hunter's Number One attorney, Abbe Lowell, obviously wrote the text of the pardon. It reads like all the BS he spewed on TV for the past two years, about Hunter being railroaded for political purposes, his being clean for X number of years, and so on.

The pardon also stops the legal fees bleeding. For an appeal.
