In an uncommon act of objective journalism, James O’Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas and now the CEO of OMG Media, has gone to Western North Carolina to investigate. He went to see who was telling the truth about the situation there: the federal government or the people struggling to survive in tents in freezing temperatures. This isn’t the first time FEMA has been accused of not aiding the survivors of a disaster. The accusations of cold disinterest to downright negligence were also present after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Superstorm Sandy in the North Eastern states, and the terrible wildfire that ravaged Lahaina on Maui, Hawaii. In each case, the story was the same. Victims of the disasters criticized FEMA’s lackluster responses and were accused by the media of spreading “harmful misinformation.” He wrote about his investigation on X. “We don’t want to have an epidemic of people freezing to death,” a resident declared during the Buncombe County Commissioners meeting, voicing frustration over the slow pace of disaster relief in North Carolina. Another resident added, “I’ve never seen the lack of public officials coming out and actually trying to help,” reflecting the sentiment of abandonment felt by many in the community. Despite the mainstream media’s narrative of assistance, a resident revealed, “FEMA money runs out, and all the help I’ve seen has come from people out of state.” One FEMA employee even admitted, “Every delay means another night that a child sleeps in a car.” @OKeefeMedia Group investigated these concerns, visiting FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers across the state to uncover the reality of Hurricane Helene relief efforts. Here are the videos he has released so far. You can judge for yourself.

The people who are actually helping are volunteers from across the country. They’re organizing the donations of campers and RVs, transporting them, and setting them up on peoples’ land, completely free of charge. If you feel moved to help, the groups I recommend are: Operation Shelter Emergency RV  Operation Helo What do you think? How do you still feel hope when it seems like your own government cares more about the welfare of people in Ukraine, Lebanon, and Africa than it does suffering American citizens? Do you believe O’Keefe’s reports, which are in line with the “conspiracy theories” put forth by locals? Or do you think the government is doing its best? Let’s discuss it in the comments section.

Cubano Governor of 51st State Whines that Trump Isn't a Woman

Time MAGA-zine: Was There Ever a Doubt?

Boris and Svetlaya welcomed a litter of cubs just months after reuniting in the wild.

The House passed the National Defense Authorization Act on Wednesday night with bipartisan support despite pushback from both sides of the aisle. The NDAA passed the House in a 281-140 vote authorizing over $895 billion in defense spending. Although both parties had problems with the bill, more Democrats voted against the NDAA due to Republican Speaker Mike Johnson's last-minute provision that prohibits the military's health care system from providing taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for minors. 'We also believe it’s important to refocus the Pentagon on military lethality, not radical woke ideology.'"Our men and women in uniform should know their first obligation is protecting our nation, not woke ideology," Johnson said in a Thursday post on X. "It’s disappointing to see 124 of my Democrat colleagues vote against our brave men and women in uniform over policies that have nothing to do with their intended mission."Over the course of months of negotiations, the NDAA was stripped of other controversial provisions. "We also believe it’s important to refocus the Pentagon on military lethality, not radical woke ideology," Johnson continued. "This legislation permanently bans transgender treatment for minors, prohibits critical race theory in military academies, ends the DEI bureaucracy, and combats antisemitism."Many of the 124 Democrats who opposed this restriction accused Republicans of "restricting health care access," a euphemism for severe and irreversible treatments that, as Johnson pointed out, often result in the sterilization of the child, in addition to other permanent side effects. "We should be supporting our service members and military families who sacrifice so much for us — not restricting health care access and undermining our military readiness, retention, and recruitment," Democratic Rep. Sarah Jacobs of California said in a Wednesday post on X. "That’s why I voted against this year’s NDAA."Other Democrats like Rep. Adam Smith of Washington called the provision "bigoted against the trans community" and called the transgender treatments "crucial to the health and well-being of our children."Of the 16 Republicans who voted against the NDAA, several cited concerns over the exorbitant price tag, while others said the bill simply did not go far enough to combat the "woke ideology.""I voted no on the NDAA," Republican Rep. Chip Roy (Texas) said in a Wednesday post on X. "It was better because of our hard work and I thank [Speaker Johnson] for holding spending power lower than the Senate & fighting child mutilation. But it is not good enough yet. More to do."Although Johnson was able to amend some of the woke language in the legislation, the NDAA still allows transgender treatments for adults and upholds a Pentagon policy that reimburses troops who traveled to obtain abortions. "This NDAA fails to terminate the current military abortion travel policy, continued biased diversity, equity, and inclusion practices and positions at the Pentagon, and does nothing to prohibit taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for those serving," Republican Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana said in a press release Wednesday. "On top of that, it continued to fund the heinous practice of indefinite detainment of American citizens. This legislation is not only unserious but also unconstitutional."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Nobody's Buyin': It Jamie Raskin Claims He Serves All Americans, Doesn't Care About Party Affiliation

Ooh, That's Gotta' Sting! CNN Reports Huge Support Numbers for Trump's Transition and Second Term

Every hero shooter has that one character with insane mobility, a steep learning curve, and a flashy playstyle. For Marvel Rivals, that character is Spider-Man.

Free-to-play games are great at quickly garnering a player base, but those numbers evaporate without an incentive to log in. Sadly, many F2P games mess this part up, and the worst offenders tend not to stick around for long.

JRPGs have many staples that originated in the 1990s. Most feature a fixed protagonist with personality, backstory, motivations, and dreams of their own. The player doesn't create their character, even if they're a blank canvas.
