P.I.D. Radio 10/5/24: Kamala's Katrina

Published 1 year, 5 months ago
Description
WE CAN’T SAY whether the federal government’s response to the disaster caused by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina is simple incompetence or something more insidious, but it will definitely have an impact on next month’s election. 

At the very least, messaging from the Biden-Harris administration is absolutely tone-deaf. From Kamala Harris staging a photo op at FEMA HQ and offering victims of the disaster $750, to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg threatening to arrest private drone pilots trying to deliver supplies to people cut off by damaged roads and bridges, to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announcing that FEMA doesn’t have enough money to last through the hurricane season (after spending nearly a billion dollars this year on illegal migrants), this White House inspires no confidence in its ability to provide needed help to the taxpaying citizens of the United States.

It’s a painful but important lesson: Prepare for disaster, because the government will not save you.

And it may be doing harm: We discuss a disturbing report this week by Muckraker (www.muckraker.com/articles/finding-the-feds-missing-children/) on the more than 300,000 unaccompanied child migrants that have gone missing after the government turned them over to sponsors. MVM, a private security contractor with links to the CIA, NSA, FBI, and Homeland Security, has received hundreds of millions of dollars in federal contracts to escort these unaccompanied migrant children to sponsors across the country.

This a topic we’ve discussed multiple times over the years: 

Please pardon the audio from 2005. Our rig back then was not just consumer-grade equipment, it was bargain basement consumer-grade.

Also: Israel continues planning a promised retaliatory strike on Iran while systematically eliminating the leadership of Hezbollah, Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Note: Derek said the US was fourth in the world in lithium production. That is incorrect. Australia, not Bolivia, is the world's leader, followed by Chile, China, Argentina, and Brazil.
