Video: Biden and Harris Abandon Hurricane Victims!

Written by Jonathan Reynolds.

Hurricane Helene has become one of the deadliest storms to strike the U.S. in recent history, leaving behind a trail of destruction across the southern states. The storm has claimed numerous lives and displaced millions of people, especially in states like Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Floodwaters have engulfed entire communities, forcing many families from their homes, while countless others remain trapped in devastated towns. Yet, despite the magnitude of the crisis, the federal response remains painfully slow.

FEMA’s lack of presence in some of the hardest-hit areas has sparked growing frustration. Several days after Helene struck North Carolina, some communities are still waiting for aid to arrive. Glenn Beck, host of “The Glenn Beck Program,” voiced the growing impatience, noting, “They may make it today. The Red Cross has not arrived; they may make it today.” His comments reflect the growing disillusionment with the government’s sluggish disaster response in the wake of such a major catastrophe.

Private Efforts Step Up as Government Lags Behind

While federal agencies drag their feet, private organizations like Mercury One have stepped in to fill the void. Communities like Asheville, North Carolina, have been particularly hard hit, with residents stranded due to the severe damage to infrastructure. Mercury One, led by Beck and other volunteers, has coordinated efforts to deliver vital supplies, including food, water, and other emergency necessities, to those left isolated by the storm.

“We’ll be on the ground in Asheville,” Beck promised during his broadcast. “We’ve ordered helicopters to bring in supplies, water, food, and I mean it’s really amazing what’s happening.” The efforts are not just limited to big organizations; individual contributors like Benny Johnson are stepping up to provide pallets of water, helping ensure those in desperate need are not left behind. In a biting remark, Beck added, “It’s just everybody coming together, and the government not doing their job,” highlighting the sharp contrast between grassroots relief efforts and federal inaction.

Mercury One’s Executive Director J.P. Decker shared a harrowing story of a former Green Beret who had been separated from his wife and 3-year-old daughter amid the chaos. “He was out of town and found out what happened, flew back, and ended up getting on a helicopter,” Decker recounted. “He found them in the midst of all the destruction, along with a hundred other people who hadn’t been rescued yet.”

Federal Priorities Questioned Amid Crisis

As American communities grapple with the fallout from Hurricane Helene, frustration is growing over the government’s priorities. In the same weekend that Helene wreaked havoc, the Biden-Harris administration announced a new multi-billion-dollar aid package for Ukraine. For many, this timing couldn’t be worse. With millions of Americans suffering, the optics of diverting funds overseas have raised serious questions about the administration’s commitment to its own citizens.

Glenn Beck voiced what many Americans are thinking: “It is truly remarkable. They don’t care at all.” His sentiment reflects the growing discontent with a government that appears more focused on international concerns than on helping its own people recover from one of the worst disasters in recent memory.

Decker, sharing his frustration, added, “We’re giving billions to a country, but yet not to our own Americans, not to our own people. They feel abandoned yet again by the government. We don’t think it’s the government’s job to do everything, but in this case, they should be stepping in.”

Our Take

The response to Hurricane Helene exposes a troubling trend where American citizens are repeatedly left to fend for themselves while their government’s attention is focused elsewhere. The government’s primary responsibility should be to protect and assist its own people in times of crisis. However, when billions are being sent abroad while our communities lie in ruins, it raises serious concerns about leadership priorities. Disasters like this one shouldn’t be opportunities for political gamesmanship; they should be a time for unity and action.

It’s bad enough when bureaucracy slows down disaster relief, but it’s worse when people feel completely forgotten. The resilience of the American spirit shines in the efforts of organizations like Mercury One, but it should never have to compensate for federal inaction. The government must do better, not just for the sake of its citizens, but to reaffirm that American lives and communities truly matter.
