Another devastating disaster hit the southern United States this week and the Biden-Harris administration is nowhere to be found.
The Southeastern United States was plunged into devastation after Category 4 Hurricane Helene, the strongest hurricane to ever strike Florida’s Big Bend region, unleashed catastrophic destruction across six states.
Helene’s ferocious winds and torrential rains have claimed at least 95 lives, left millions without power, and trapped countless families in floodwaters, particularly in North Carolina, where entire communities have been cut off from vital resources.
The death toll continues to rise, with North Carolina being hit the hardest, reporting at least 36 casualties. South Carolina follows closely with 25 confirmed deaths, including two firefighters who died in Saluda County, according to CNN.
In Georgia, 17 lives were lost, two of them victims of a tornado that swept through Alamo. In Florida, 11 fatalities have been confirmed, with many occurring in Pinellas County, where flash floods overtook entire neighborhoods.
Tennessee and Virginia have also reported deaths, with four in Tennessee and two in Virginia, as rescue operations remain ongoing.
In the hardest-hit areas of North Carolina, floodwaters have ravaged entire neighborhoods. Families are stranded without food, water, or power.
Joe Biden was asked about the devastation on Sunday and government assistance to the storm ravaged region.
Old Joe’s response, “We’ve given all we have.”

Thousands of Americans are missing and without power in a number of southern states after Hurricane Helene moved through over the weekend, causing catastrophic flooding not seen in decades.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, better known as FEMA, is responsible for the Biden administration’s response to the disaster. For the past four years, FEMA has been focused on “equity” in disaster response.
“Goal 1 – Instill Equity as a Foundation of Emergency Management,” the FEMA report states, citing an executive order signed by President Biden on January 21, 2021. “Underserved communities, as well as specific identity groups, often suffer disproportionately from disasters. As a result, disasters worsen inequities already present in society. This cycle compounds the challenges faced by these communities and increases their risk to future disasters. By instilling equity as a foundation of emergency management and striving to meet the unique needs of underserved communities, the emergency management community can work to break this cycle and build a more resilient nation.”
