  2. The white trash at a prior PA Trump rally.

    I wonder why Musk has all that security; it's a helluva thing to take all that Russian and Saudi money.

    Here are the liars

    Speaker of the House Mike Johnson addressed claims that the Biden administration diverted Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds to immigration efforts, saying the pools of funds are "different," but that he understands why Americans are "frustrated."

    "The streams of funding are different, that is not an untrue statement, of course," Johnson, R-La., told Fox News’ Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday." "But the problem is with the American people, see, and what they're frustrated by, is that FEMA should be involved. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, their mission is to help people in times like this of natural disaster. Not to be engaged in using any pool of funding from any account for resettling illegal aliens who have come across the border. That's what the Biden administration, Kamala Harris and Secretary Mayorkas have been engaged in."

    White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre last week denied that FEMA resources were going to migrants, but cited FEMA funds for migrants in 2022.

    "Former President Trump is accusing the Biden administration of using FEMA funding to support undocumented migrants. How is the White House responding to that?" a reporter asked during a Friday press conference.

    "I mean, it’s just categorically false. It is not true. It is a false statement," Jean-Pierre responded.

    Critics have since compared her statement to comments made in 2022, where she cited FEMA resources were available to illegal immigrants.

    Johnson does not want to help victims of natural disasters in an expedited manner. Let them rot seems to be Johnson's philosophy.

    'Shameful!' Johnson slammed for saying Congress won’t cut recess short to pass disaster relief aid

    The idiot MAGA in the video asked Veterans to prove they had been in the military. She believes Veterans should have "their papers" to prove they are Veterans.

    As a Veteran, I've never met another Veteran who walks around with "their papers" as in DD214 papers. Hilariously, in the video, a Veteran with a Gulf War Veteran hat and with a shirt that states "Are Not Suckers and Losers" pulls out of his wallet a Real ID that has the gold star stamp that indicates the Veteran status of someone with an honorable discharge.

    I know it well because I have one too...Gold star in the upper right corner with the word USA above it. A 2nd superimposed photo in the lower right corner with the word "VETERAN" below the photo image.​

    Also, we have the option of obtaining a Veteran's Administration VHIC card...less complicated than getting a state Real ID card. VHIC card is useful for those who do not drive and who will be a frequent user of VA Hospitals & Clinics.

    Simply, the only time someone will see a Veteran with "their papers" (DD214) is a Veteran waiting in line at a Driver's License building, a U.S. Passport office, Law Enforcement application, or using services for the first time at a VA Hospital.

    Note: Real ID will be required to fly domestically within the United States on May 7th, 2025, or have a valid passport. Real ID, Active Duty military ID, or USO ID card will also be required to use USO services at the airport.

    I discovered the latter when I needed a quiet place to relax and sleep for a few hours when a flight was canceled at O'Hare Airport on my way to France. USO took care of me...good free meal and I slept like a baby. :cool:

    Elon Musk knows he must spend a few million dollars each year on security detail.

    Musk is from South Africa too. Millionaires and billionaires from there tend to be a little paranoid when traveling and going to formal/informal events. They are well known to spend millions of dollars every year for their security detail.

    Years back, I met a guy at Trump Tower in Chicago, he said Musk would make a great U.S. President now that he's the champion of free speech. I responded that I did not think that was possible because he was born in South Africa. :D

    Of course we know Trump/MAGA/cult supporters would not care about where Musk was born...right??? :rolleyes:

    Just in case Congress is not paying attention...other Hurricanes are developing while I write this message post...Hurricane Kirk and Hurricane Milton...possibly Hurricane Leslie. More flooding to come.


    Can the Republicans be persuaded to vote YEA for extra natural disaster funds for FEMA or will we continue being dependent upon volunteers, the National Guard, and the Corps of Engineers to help those impacted in the disaster areas?

    There's nothing wrong with the latter just as long as they're allowed to do their job now that they've been there since Hurricane Helene hit.
