Many politicians and Law Enforcement will be there. We’ll be saying hello to Franklin Graham, Burt Jones, Tyler Harper, Mike Collins, Austin Scott, Russ Goodman, Sam Watson, and the Mayor of Valdosta Scott James. They are working very hard. I was also going to stop into North Carolina, which has really been hit hard. I have a lot of supplies ready for them, but access and communication is now restricted, and we want to make sure that Local Emergency Management is able to focus on helping the people most affected, and not being concerned with me. I’ll be there shortly, but don’t like the reports that I’m getting about the Federal Government, and the Democrat Governor of the State, going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas. Has his campaign coordinated with people on the ground or are they going to have to stop what they are doing to help people and instead stand around and stroke his ego for a photo op. Seriously how is this helpful to anyone not named Trump? Edited September 30 by Starr-Bills 1

Samaritans Purse already has wheels on the ground with planes and more for the area while FEMA is concerned about quotas for their DEI. so, spare me your mouth running and stop or do something about the catastrophe. i'm lucky that it does not truly have any adverse problems for us here 60 miles away but like any time there is a tragedy trying to stand on some morale high ground doesn't work. 3 minutes ago, Starr-Bills said: Has his campaign coordinated with people on the ground or are they going to have to stop what they are doing to help people and instead stand around and stroke his ego for a photo op.

I want to see the people there helped, and I hate to see this misinformation and performative stunts foisted upon them. Seriously get your head out of your ass. The equating with Ukraine aid is specifically a Russian op. And specifically not helpful to the people, the Americans who need assistance. relying on the kindness of strangers is also not a plan. Sure it’s nice a helicopter or two show up with some bottled water and Doritos but what happens 2 day, 2 weeks, 2 months from now. Want to go fast go alone, want to go far, go in a group. the talking points about DEI etc are just stupid. The fact that most of the roads highways and bridges accessing the are have washed out is the real reason aid is taking time to get to people. Again let’s not make this political, there are no points to win other than helping people recover from this storm, and rebuilding in a way to defend against this type of event again. And maybe next time we vote we all should elect candidates who want to do the work of government and not performative asshats. 1
B-Man Posted September 30 Posted September 30 FEMA’s “Strategic Plan” (2022-2026) “Goal 1” — “Instill Equity as a Foundation of Emergency Management” “Goal 2” — “Lead Whole of Community in Climate Resilience” “Goal 3” — “Promote & Sustain a Ready FEMA & Prepared Nation” Full strategic plan, such as it is, here. https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema_2022-2026-strategic-plan.pdf I sure wish Goal #3 was more important than DEI or Climate. 1 1

Seriously get your head out of your ass. sooo. the south which has been largely neglected and the areas of western north carolina which are extremely poor but nonetheless self suffiicent and generally anti need help.... where are, right? The equating with Ukraine aid is specifically a Russian op. And specifically not helpful to the people, the Americans who need assistance. fEMA is activating, they're cutting red tape, doing all of that but it does not replace local volunteers and investing in the small communities. imagine $1mm just for a rural NC community to fix up their emergency repsonse team??? no...nah... we gonna send that to Ukraine untracked so they can probably invest in something really really worthwhile. 37 minutes ago, Starr-Bills said: relying on the kindness of strangers is also not a plan.

Want to go fast go alone, want to go far, go in a group. good plan captain brain man. it's too hard to get in there immediately so we need to wait to go as a group because a bottled water or doritos aren't enough to just say "hey, we're coming. we see you, we can make a plan." having a few hundred venture in on their own out of the goodness of their hearts is bad because they didn't go as a group? you don't know rural america and what they do to stick together, i fear. estimates are about 50-60 private helicopters now working to bring stuff in and people out. 37 minutes ago, Starr-Bills said: the talking points about DEI etc are just stupid.

And maybe next time we vote we all should elect candidates who want to do the work of government and not performative asshats. performative asshat = you. please don't ever run for office. still cute - trump has done more to help these people than kamala harris, sweetie. and i don't like him. 1

Again not sure who you are helping with this garbage. “This Strategic Plan identifies three ambitious goals we must achieve to address these challenges and to ensure we continue to be the FEMA our nation needs and deserves. First, we must instill equity as a foundation of emergency management. Systems that foster inequality serve no one, especially in times of crisis. We must recognize that disasters affect individuals and communities differently, commit ourselves to reducing barriers to access, and deliver equitable outcomes for all whom we serve. Second, we must lead the whole of community in climate resilience. We must recognize that we are facing a climate crisis and educate ourselves and the nation about the impacts our changing climate pose to the field of emergency management. We must integrate planning for future conditions, move away from incremental mitigation measures, and focus on large projects that protect infrastructure and community systems. Third, we must promote and sustain a ready FEMA and prepared nation. We must recognize that the demands on emergency managers will only continue to increase. We must lean into this as a shared responsibility to prepare the nation’s emergency managers and ready ourselves and the larger federal government to meet an expanding mission.”

People actually doing something… and incase you forgot. Ok, so you're backing up now that it doesn't take a big operation like FEMA? That individuals are fully capable and more important to support their area? Because that's not what you just said. Logically, you just crossed yourself. The federal funding you are talking about was wildly inflated. It was talked about here in the state. It was going to be given out like candy. There was already infrastructure in place that simply throwing money at the problem was not needed. And project 2025 you can shove up your ass. Trump is not a part of that. And the Lincoln project is absolutely disgusting. So, since you seem as smart as a 3 yr old, I require this to continue giving you any time before I go to the gym: 1) is it FEMA and big gov or the local man and neighbors who should be helping to rush in there? You contradicted yourself. I need 2 paragraphs explaining this 2) the federal funds denied and withheld do not entail the full amount offered to the coast. Please disclose how much had already been given, how much was being given, and the items the additional amounts were being earmarked for... 3) don't disrupt a conversation with a goalpost shift talking about FEMA being dismantled when you just made an argument in your first point they're not as effective as a man driving down from Abingdon at Waffle House. 4) find in Trump's anything where he adopts project 2025. 5) apologize to your parents for disappointing them. 15 minutes ago, Starr-Bills said: the actual text. #1 is making sure communities are taken care of equally, not hiring.

You didn't even bother to think of that because you lack intelligence. The DEI division/department is doing their job to keep their job. For whatever reason FEMA needs dei.

It’s probably dark on the plane and the photog had to beef up the ISO to get a proper exposure, and because the bright paper is under the overhead lights, it looks blown out. 1

To suggest it’s “uncalled for” belies that fact that it’s actually ALWAYS called for by those in charge and running the show. You just don’t like the target this time around. If you were an honest broker of an honest narrative, the recognition that Trump is attempting to do something—anything—-to help those in need would immediately follow your lament about politicians and media politicizing this tragedy. But instead, you offer up “Russian talking point”, Project 2025, and Trump being raised on a KGB kibbutz in Stalingrad. Pure silliness. 1
