Limitless $$$ to Ukraine, $2.4B for the South, $100B Needed

Chimney Rock, NC is wiped out

There are reports that damage to the South is estimated to be about $100 billion. Joe Biden just said they gave about $2.4 billion, which is all that was planned. He sent $8 billion to Ukraine last week. We have given well over $100 billion to Ukraine.

The South is dealing with widespread devastation. Whole towns are underwater. Hundreds of roads are closed.

In hard-hit North Carolina, days of unrelenting flooding have turned roads into waterways, left many without necessities, and strained state resources.

This weekend, Asheville and other parts of western North Carolina were cut off from the world. No roads were open, electricity was down, and cell towers were mostly inoperable.

Helene, a Category 4 hurricane when she hit the Big Bend of Florida on Thursday night, is forecast to leave behind between $95 billion and $110 billion in damage and economic loss. Moody’s forecasts property damage alone to run $15 billion to $26 billion.

BUT NO MORE MONEY FOR YOU!

Biden allocated about $2.4 billion and that’s all there is.

It’s called selective Equity. Vote Trump.

Not just Ukraine, Israel too. Wonderful job leaving that little fact out, that really betrays honesty in reporting. Israel is engaged in American funded genocide of Palestinians and Lebanese men, women, and children, but because they pander to Evangelical Conserva-Boomers, like my fellow congregates, and hold Mossad komprimat via Epstein and Diddy on most of Washington, D.C. and Hollywood, it’s totally cool to do the bidding of Jerusalem and AIPAC, am I right?

To hell with the fact that Israel election meddled against John Dewey in 1948 to the point of altering global history, to hell with the men that died on the U.S.S. Liberty like LBJ colorfully stated, and to hell with all of the state secrets John Pollard stole in the 1980s. Let’s send billions more to Israel because fuck Muslims, right?

It will be a wonderful day when we can actually have an honest conversation about the undue influence AIPAC/Israel holds on this nation as a polity rather than their constant refrains of “Muh Holocaust” and “Jesus wouldn’t let us not rape the lands we want to conquer despite us choosing a murderer over the new Messiah.” Christ is King, except to the people who support Israeli mass murder, then I support every dead man, woman, and child because of the Jewish desire to bring THEIR actual Messiah into existence.

Oh please! The US government isn’t just supporting Israel, it’s playing both ends against the middle as usual. The Muslims are getting plenty. It’s AMERICANS who are getting the crappy end of the stick while the oligarchy that rules us gives away our hard earned cash to anybody else with their hand out and a sob story. THAT is the FACT of the matter, since you apparently missed it.

Too many MAGA Republicans living in those devastated areas. When you continually dehumanize your opposition, it’s easy to ignore assassination attempts and any loss of life and property.
