FEMA 'flying blind' into Hurricane Season

Wednesday, May 21, 2025

President Trump's campaign to dismantle FEMA is on the verge of a high-stakes stress test, as the U.S. hurtles toward peak disaster season under uniquely dangerous conditions.

With hurricane season almost upon us, it's critical to make sure we work to improve FEMA, not dismantle it.[image or embed]

A massive tornado en route ignored.

NO ALERTS for Jackson or London, KY, St. Louis, VA, or even VA?!

"an estimated 5000 building were impacted."

National Weather Service is essential, the twenty-seven deaths were entirely preventable.

Musk is obsessed with controlling and privatizing all essential satellite communications.

..That and the 38 billion in subsidies.

Funding cuts designed that FEMA cannot respond effectively exemplifies how the Trump administration is exclusively a criminal enterprise.

Can't wait for that fat idiot sea cow to lose everything. ---- Florida.

Saint Louis is obviously in Missouri, my editing derp.

How can such a vital system that impacts multiple states immediately entering hurricane season be considered "waste, fraud and abuse"?!

Insurance agencies should sue Musk.

Frankly I am just over it. I can't tolerate stupidity any more. I am a generous person and my wife says too generous with these morons.

If Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia or any other Red state suffers a major hurricane this year, let them suffer. I am not going to do anything. I won't even be helping family - the ones down south all belong to the cult of the moron. Their house gets destroyed? Not welcome here. I am tired of donating time, money and resources to these states dominated by morons. If they have no FEMA and fewer Americans from up north help them, maybe they will wake up but I doubt it.

I wonder how many people are going to die this year becuase of this? How many were just killed in a tornado that had no warnings because only 1 weather person was working and didn't have enough arms and legs to do it all.
This is what happens when you allow a president to fire workers.
I live in Florida and I DREAD hurricane season this year. Will we be informed of anything? Will we have the opportunity to evacuate? Or are we all just going to sit down here and kiss our arses good bye.
This man is going go have a lot of blood on his hands.
