Biden Sends $1 Billion to Africa While Americans in WNC Freeze
Sometimes, the audacity of the Biden administration still stuns me. On December 3, President Biden stumbled through a speech about how we were sending a billion dollars to help people displaced by a natural disaster.
In.
Africa.

Meanwhile, here is a report from Western North Carolina a week ago.
I want to commend Fox News for flying a reporter down to Swannanoa NC today in the middle of a snow storm.
While FEMA is saying no one is in tents, Fox News is literally talking to them.
Well done. pic.twitter.com/lotiBAkO13

The only mainstream news station still reporting anything about WNC is Fox. As far as CNN and the other outlets are concerned, folks are just being mean to FEMA and spreading misinformation.
FEMA is actively working on securing shelter for the flood victims who need it, which can be a complex endeavor that takes time. But, Haywood County leaders say misinformation can get in the way. (ABC)
The Raleigh News & Observer notes that members of Congress think that the misinformation may be coming from Russia and China. and they’re going to investigate it.
FEMA promised to deliver 103 houses by Thanksgiving.
As of two days ago, FEMA has proudly announced that they’ve provided a whopping…33 temporary houses for residents of Western North Carolina.
Thirty-three.
They’ve also posted this infographic to let everyone know how much they’ve helped. Now it’s up to 44 houses, apparently.
But it’s worse than that. They’re actively trying to stop volunteers from bringing in donated trailers to people who are “in a flood zone now.”
FEMA is actively blocking volunteers from delivering RVs, tiny homes, and other housing units to people living in tents in #WNC because they are “in a flood zone”.
The Fox News host can’t even believe it.
The truth is so much more horrifying than any conspiracy theory. pic.twitter.com/cjkuUwJ0Si

FEMA blames locals for their woes.
“If people would come out of their tents,” says Jeremy Slinker, FEMA would be able to help them.
#BREAKING: Watch as FEMA officials BLAME THE VICTIMS of Hurricane Helene in #WNC for “not wanting to come out of their tents…” as the reason they are not helping them.
Literally blaming the victims!
This is despicable. pic.twitter.com/164B04mewV

So, it’s better to just leave those stubborn folks in tents in the snow if they won’t cooperate.
On December 3, FEMA finally approved $114 million for debris removal. We’re more than two months after the disaster, and they’re just now pulling it together to gather up the rubble? It still looks like the area was destroyed by bombs after all this time.
James O’Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas and CEO of O’Keefe Media Group, has gone undercover to learn the truth about what’s going on in Western North Carolina. His investigative report is very unsettling but is easily proven by the footage shown. Watch it below.
It’s not just FEMA, either.
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has been paying regular lip service about his concern for the Western part of the state he “leads,” but when the state congress approved a funding bill with hurricane relief, he vetoed it.
Fortunately, the North Carolina Senate voted to override Cooper’s veto. However, the House has to also vote on the matter before the override is official.
This is a senseless political ploy that is making it take even longer to release necessary funds as the snow falls on tents housing shivering families.
Operation Shelter has housed more people than FEMA.
Operation Shelter has been hard at work, with very limited funds, but they, along with other volunteers, have still managed to get more people into warm shelters than FEMA has. (You can go here to see some of the life-saving work that Shawn Hendrix has done.)
There are many different ways to help. Here are some of the people on the ground I’ve been following on X.
Emergency RV, as mentioned, has gotten donated trailers to families with no homes. If you have one that you’d like to donate, you can contact them, and they’ll even arrange for someone to drive it to its destination.
For information, you can follow Matt Van Swol and his wife, Erin Derham. They are posting daily from Asheville the things going on in the community. They’re extremely careful about checking their information.
Margo from NC has been posting first-hand information since the disaster began.
Shawn Hendrix, as I mentioned before, has worked tirelessly to help the community. He has brought a lot of attention to the situation and pulled off some miracles. If you want to make a monetary donation that you can be confident will be put to good use, here are some links for doing so.
If you have some donations you would like to mail in, I have an address. They are not taking most clothing right now but are looking for cold-weather outerwear for children and adults, blankets, sleeping bags, and camping gear. A particular need is for space heaters that can safely be used indoors or in a tent.

You can also order supplies from Amazon and have it sent there. Here are a few recommendations.
These winter sleeping bags are reasonably priced.
Feminine hygiene supplies like pads and tampons are needed.
Things to keep hands and feet warm would be extremely welcome.
No-rinse body wipes would be helpful for hygiene.
Propane heaters that can safely be used indoors could potentially save someone’s life. My recommendations are the Little Buddy and the Mr. Heater. If you are feeling extra generous, this hose assembly allows the heaters to be connected to bigger, barbecue sized propane tanks.
Winter gear such as gloves, coats, heavy socks, and hats are also welcome.
Manpower would also be appreciated if you can. Contact Shawn Hendrix, above, to get more information.
Please share these stories far and wide. Don’t let Appalachia be forgotten.
What are your thoughts?
Tomorrow, we’ll talk about some of the reasons that the government seems to want folks to relocate instead of rebuild. This is enough outrage for one day.
What are your thoughts on this? Is the government actively trying to get in the way? Why are they sending money to rebuild Africa while our own people are at risk of freezing to death?
Let’s discuss it in the comments section.
