The administration of former President Donald Trump obstructed an investigation looking into why officials withheld about $20 billion in hurricane relief for Puerto Rico following the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Maria in 2017, one of the deadliest U.S. natural disasters in over 100 years, a new report says. A Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General report made public Thursday also found that tensions between the department and the Office of Management and Budget resulted in unprecedented procedural hurdles that produced delays in the disbursement of the congressionally approved funds. read more

We really didn't want to write about this, at least not right now. People are suffering, and some of them are dying, due to Hurricane Helene. It feels vulgar to us to begin talking about the political implications of that. Unfortunately for us, vulgar is Donald Trump's stock in trade. Trump might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he knows enough to know two things: (1) He really needs to win North Carolina and Georgia in November, and (2) Helene is battering both states. So, he is working overtime to try to capitalize on this "opportunity," as he sees it. read more

During his presidency, Donald Trump talked repeatedly about the terrorist attacks that occurred in the United States on his watch. He sometimes denounced these attacks in vivid detail. In his 2018 State of the Union address, he spoke of "two terrorist attacks in New York" in "recent weeks." He visited Pittsburgh and El Paso after terror attacks there. He invited survivors of a California attack to the White House. Now, though, he keeps saying he presided over no terror attacks at all. read more


The foreign ministers of Jordan, Egypt and Iraq have "condemned the Israeli aggression on Lebanon" in a joint statement and warned that Israel is pushing the region toward an "all-out war." The ministers met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York yesterday, where they urged the international community and the Security Council to "assume their relevant responsibilities to stop the war." "Israel bears full responsibility for this deterioration, which will have serious consequences for the entire region," they said Wednesday. read more

some during the woeful response where affected people were being rescued from rooftops on tv. It became obvious that President Bush had placed someone wholly incompetent in charge of FEMA who didn't have the organizational skills necessary to serve those Louisiana residents displaced by the storm, especially those who had to live in squalid conditions day after day inside the Superdome, right in the middle of a major American city.

You're doing heckuva job Brownie.

When you compare administration storm responses....

donOLD's administration threatened to withhold money from CA for the forest fires, refused $20 BILLION allocated by Congress to Puerto Rico (and wanted to send it to FL and TX instead) and denied 99% of the request from NC because the governors were democrats.

Biden signed the disaster declaration for Helene BEFORE the storm hit so that as soon as the governors requested aide it could be immediately sent. He called all the governors asked them what they needed and told them to call if they need ANYTHING else directly. Is staying out of the way while the rescue and recovery operations are going on.

donOLD finds it more important to do a photo op in GA, promises "aide from his campaign" which a campaign spokesman walked back saying they were "coordinating" with non-profits that were going to send help ANYWAYS, lies about Harris not having her cell phone "plugged in" claiming her call was fake, lies about Kemp not being contacted by Biden, lies about Cooper and Biden refusing to send help to red counties.

donOLD is a disgrace to the office. It boggles the mind that anyone would want another four years of his constant --------.
