Who could have imagined how a natural catastrophe, predicted, but which quickly turned catastrophic, could bring Americans together?
Hurricane Helene brought unprecedented rainfall and flooding to the Southern Appalachians, and Eastern Tennessee. The flooding washed away roads, leveled cities, and left people homeless.
They never asked why Joe Biden, President of the United States, was at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, or why Kamala Harris, Vice President, was schmoozing her donors while many people lost their lives, homes, and communities. They never asked why Joe Biden was in Rehoboth, Delaware as President of the United States or why Kamala Harri, Vice President was out schmoozing donors, while so many people were losing their homes, lives, and communities.
Some Sunday reports claim that FEMA wasn’t activated, despite federal emergency declarations. At that point, they wouldn’t have served much purpose.
My brother delivered two plane loads of supplies this morning in Rutherford, NC, about 30 minutes from Lake Lure. I asked if he saw any government assets deployed, and he said NO — only volunteers.
America Last is on full display under the Biden/Harris administration. #Helene

FEMA cannot cope with the scale of the disaster as Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The United States government has to activate all its military assets to help with Americans in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. Because of the geography this hurricane has created a human crisis which will require a national response larger than the scale of the…

The United States Government should mobilize its entire military to help Americans living in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. Because of the location of this hurricane, it has created a humanitarian disaster that requires a greater response than the size of the disaster. It goes beyond FEMA.
When the government fails we Americans do what’s right: We mobilize, unite, and save the day. As soon as alerts were sent out and the viral videos released, people from the South and all across the United States took action to save their nation and one another.
The NC National Guard, locals, and the NC National Guard all do their part. Guardsmen from Florida and other states are also helping – thank you, Governor DeSantis.
First responders and utility crews from all over the country have also arrived to help with the relief and recovery. According to him, the media will cover the situation in greater detail as soon as the power, WiFi, and road access are restored.
The air-dropped communication and supplies were vital. Starlink network has been created by private citizens in order to improve emergency response, and to allow people to send and receive messages.
First round of @Starlink terminals are airborne. We’re working with local officials to make sure they get to the remote areas that need them as quickly as possible. We’re also paying for unlimited data plans for each one. This is one of many things @TheYallSquad is doing thanks… pic.twitter.com/LOfiSjYtS6

Operation Airdrop has led the way in rescuing as many victims and delivering desperately needed resources into affected areas.

Today, with help from so many, but especially Cindy Ambrose , Krissy Cline Swaim, and Procoaters, Inc. , we were able to deliver thousands of dollars of supplies to Operation Airdrop in Statesville NC, who are carrying the supplies by air to the affected communities.

In the Carolinas, a venue was forced to abandon their animals due to flooding. An on-site wedding party rescued the animals.
Hidden River Events in Swannanoa, NC, left their animals penned up to die in the floods. They were rescued by a bridal party that was on the property. #Helene #ashevilleflooding pic.twitter.com/rsz7RXG9es

The local county and state governments are mobilizing resources to save as many lives as possible. They also want to make sure that nobody dies.
Heartwarming story of family rescue in #northcarolina from Madison county
People are being actively saved and I’m so thankful to start seeing some of these reports.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been hailed as a hero. He mobilized Florida resources to quickly respond and meet the needs of North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia.
At the direction of @GovRonDeSantis, we have been deployed, along with other state agencies, to assist in areas affected by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina & Tennessee. Operation Blue Ridge also aims to help Floridians needing rescue in Western North Carolina, the Blue Ridge… pic.twitter.com/S815GWgKw6

Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt also praised the efforts made by Task Force 1 of Missouri. This task force was commissioned to conduct rescue missions throughout Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and South Carolina.
HELP TENNESSEE: I don’t know what is going on with FEMA but @robbystarbuck came up with a way we can all help families in East TN directly.

The silver lining is that this exposes the fake leaders of Biden and Harris while giving the real leaders a shot at shining. Republican TN Congressman Tim Burchett has suspended his fundraising campaign in order to redirect the money to relief efforts.
We are suspending our fundraising and urging everyone to send any available funds to flood relief for these folks hit by this horrible devastation. pic.twitter.com/ckIZVOxrdi

A few weeks ago, NC Republican Mark Robinson served as Lt. As a gubernatorial candidate, he was considered a “dead man walking”. Robinson has demonstrated more leadership and connections than the current Democrat Governor Roy Cooper.
As the news media FINALLY begins covering the severity of the issues out west, there will be a heavy focus on Asheville and the greater Buncombe County area. Rightly so, as I am sad to report that the loss of life in that area is expected to be significant. We hope and pray for a… pic.twitter.com/Zgp5GOFnax

Asheville, Buncombe County, and other western North Carolina communities will get a lot more attention as the media begins to focus on this issue. They will not report on the many small communities that are without water and life-saving supplies.
It is important to remember that Donald Trump, the former president of the United States and the GOP nominee for the 2016 presidential election, did much more than the current president to offer comfort and words of encouragement to Hurricane Helene victims and volunteers who helped in relief efforts. Secondly, Kamala has once again been considered unworthy of being elected to the presidency.
She cannot be defended by the mainstream media for her failures as vice president or president. It is not possible to claim that you care about Americans when you ignore their needs just to get money from wealthy friends. This will stick in our minds in November.
The federal government’s inefficiency and ineffectiveness is what stands out the most. This fabric makes up America, and despite the interference and meddling by the federal government, we remain strong and united. No amount of hell will change who we are.
