Is your ignorance genuine, or willful?

Rumor: FEMA will only provide $750 to disaster survivors to support their recovery. | FEMA.gov

This is false. This is a type of assistance that you may be approved for soon after you apply, called Serious Needs Assistance. It is an upfront, flexible payment for essential items like food, water, baby formula, breast feeding supplies, medication and other serious disaster-related needs. It...

sorry $770 as the max. They bumped it from the original. Thanks for the clarification after the backlash by the public. So I guess it’s genuine, knowing little things like this about how my neighbors were treated or mistreated.

So willful ignorance it is.

Your post stated $770 as the max. It’s at the bottom incase you need help. Sounds like you do. Do you even read your topics or just hope and pray nobody calls out your lack of knowledge? Maybe stick to Ukraine sympathy.

Lol, nice dodge, but the question still stands, was your ignorance genuine or willful?

In North Carolina, 153,000 Families Receiving FEMA Help

HICKORY, N.C. – In 39 counties, including the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, more than 153,000 households are being helped by FEMA assistance as they recover from Tropical Storm Helene.

Your question wasn't addressed to me. I asked you a question.

How do folks feel about 8 percent cuts to military spending each year for 5 years ?

I feel like you have no idea what’s being cut. The amount of defense “projects” that never come to fruition are astonishing. They are not cutting bread and butter defense funding.

How do you know? They haven't announced a single one.

Oh the irony you carry around

Because I do. Like I said you have no idea what you’re talking about.

So like I said, beats $700 now $770 for a lost home. Thanks for playing.

My bad, I get most MAGA confused these days.

By 2024 the funding used to house immigrants was actually paid out of the Customs and Border Patrol budget, it's a moot point, since it had zero draw on FEMA's disaster relief funds.

FEMA did not use disaster relief money to house immigrants in New York luxury hotels - Poynter

New York City does not house migrants in luxury hotel rooms. In 2024, it spent an average of $156 per night per hotel room.

You should Google H-1B and the current admin. Might be educational

Thanks daddy-o.

The highlights didn't help. FEMA even had to make a webpage to combat disinformation because of (willfully) ignorant people like yourself.

FEMA Launches Web Page to Respond to Rumors and Confirm the Facts Related to Hurricane Helene Response and Recovery

After a disaster, rumors and misunderstandings can spread rapidly through traditional and social media and via word of mouth by friends, neighbors and colleagues. False or misleading information can harm survivors by causing confusion and preventing people from getting the help they need.

You're just pulling out the extremes for effect. I would hope you understand the difference in threats and criticism

You need to learn the difference between free speech and hate speech. The constant chanting of " from the river to the Sea" is hate speech. They're not just criticizing Jews, their calling for the extermination of Jews. Your defending by calling it free speech is pathetic. Sure, they have the right to protest and the freedom to speak. But they can't harass or threaten people, destroy or deface public property. And from what ive seen in the news happens quite frequently. Once they've crossed those bounds its all illegal. They can't and shouldn't hide behind freedom of speech. And you using that same excuse( freedom of speech) makes you no better than them.

So threatening to kill someone or wanting to commit genocide aganist a group of people is free speech?

It gets you elected in Minnesota and Michigan.

That’s a 35% cut to current spending. More like 45% if you assume 3% inflation a year.

Seems like a good start.

 

[RockyTop85]

Many were shown to be completely fabricated as well. Playing on emotions when it was needed. Seems it worked well

We have laws in place for when it goes past free speech and a system for determining which one it was.

Favoring executive fiat to issue cumulative regulations, valuing feelings over freedom, and jumping straight to calling you an antisemite…

Congratulations on promoting horseshoe theory to horseshoe law.

Do you need it written in crayon? Like the link says, the $700 is not intended to compensate them for their entire loss. It’s temporarily covering emergency needs like food and water. Because it takes time for their actual loss to be determined.

You think the government should just be going door to door passing out million dollar checks the day after a storm? With what money? And then what if they have insurance? Lucky them they get to buy a bigger house or does the government have to spend more money trying to claw back the overpay? Talk about fraud, waste, and abuse…

You have to jump through hoops prove you need money from the government, so they give you some money up front to help establish a temporary living situation.

It shouldn’t be this hard for the “party of common sense.”

The meltdown is nothing short of glorious. Fabulous reading before sleep

Nite all.

How much do you think was the daily cost per person to house illegals in luxury hotels in NYC?

Never happened.

The private hotel closed.
The building was later reopened to house people awaiting asylum hearings.
The money was appropriated, by Congress, for this exact purpose, through DHS Shelter and Services Program. The bill received bipartisan support.
Bonus points: it’s not illegal to seek asylum.

So the democrats expand funding for a program in 2019 to help house illegals that was previously only meant for the homeless population.

Then in 2023, the Republican led congress said this needs to be a program run by Customs and Border.

So just taking your math from your hack article in a weeks time it cost $792 plus money for baby wipes, food, social services, etc.

Lodging in New York City has become obscenely expensive because the government keeps providing housing to illegal migrants.

You Google a few nuggets, twist the facts and try to sound like a genius.

My question was a simple one. How much did it cost to house illegals in luxury hotels? After reading, I did find some of these previously desired hotels were closed at the time and welcomed the revenue.

The program you referenced was moved from a FEMA program the democrat party expanded in 2019.

Asylum seeker is a relative term because we know damn well most of these folks were trying to beat the system and had been coached what to say.
