More about Mayorkas and FEMA and all their BULLSHIT

Mayorkas complains “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”

Kamala announces victims of Hurricane Helene will get only $750.
Meanwhile, FEMA spent over $1 BILLION in taxpayer dollars on providing housing and services to illegal aliens.

More GOOD NEWS from an individual helping out in western NC

Greg Biffle
@gbiffle

The mirror that caught our attention well over a mile away. Only way we we were able to find someone stranded in the mountains at bottom of steep canyon. 6 attempts to land due to difficulty but we got there - got him a chainsaw, EpiPens, insulin, chicken food, formula, gas, 2-stroke oil, and sandwiches pre-made from Harris Teeter before we left #hurricanehelene

Ivanka Trump helping and sharing news you won't hear in the media

The devastation we witnessed today in Western North Carolina was heart breaking. Hurricane Helene brought 16 inches of water (40 trillion gallons across its path) to the region within 24 hours wiping out homes, building, highways and sometimes whole communities. I was grateful to once again join my friends at CityServe, Love and Life, and Mercy Chefs on their mission to deliver crucial relief to first responders and families affected by the destruction.

Love and Life coordinated air rescues for stranded individuals and delivered and set up over 300 Starlinks donated by SpaceX (thank you @elonmusk!) to help restore vital communication for Fire Departments. We provided hot meals, fresh produce from Planet Harvest, and emergency supplies to those in need.

God bless all the families affected and the first responders working tirelessly to aid them. #AMEN

Going out on the good vs evil, darkness vs light, gog vs magog limb here.

It is plainly apparent the US federal government, aided and abetted by Governor Kooper are forcing this natural disaster to be even more difficult for everyone involved. What they are doing is causing fear, suffering, and torment. It is abhorrent and insulting to any ordinary human being NOT to respect the remains of the dead. Why? Because evil/darkness feed on human suffering. They relish it; they celebrate it. And occurring during Samhain they feel it grants them even greater dark power.

It's not just about the election, folks.

Breaking: Union for 45,000 US dockworkers agrees to suspend strike, AP source says (until 15 JAN 25)
HOUSTON — The union for 45,000 United States dockworkers agreed to suspend their strike until Jan. 15 to provide time to negotiate a new contract, according to an Associated Press source.

U.S. ports from Maine to Texas shut down Tuesday when the union representing about 45,000 dockworkers went on strike for the first time since 1977. The strike began at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday and halted operations at ports from Brownsville to Boston.

The International Longshoremen’s Association wants significantly higher wages and a total ban on the automation of cranes, gates and container-moving trucks used in the loading or unloading of freight at 36 U.S. ports.

Those ports handle roughly half of the nations’ cargo from ships.

The contract between the ILA and the United States Maritime Alliance, which represents the ports, expired Tuesday. Some progress was reported in talks late Monday, but the union went on strike anyway.

My comment. The Harris/Walz internal polling must not be looking good for them with this strike underway.

These port workers are fucking morons thinking they can accomplish something.


Going on strike to protest automation????? Well guess what you stupid bastards, you guys just proved why we need automation.



Automation wouldn’t be on strike right now. Oh and that wage increase you simpletons are demanding, well that just makes the ROI on the automation just that much faster.



Fuck you, you union POS.


I have just as much use for unions as I do for Brandon’s used Depends.

When I worked @ Yellow Transportation in the Teamsters, I used to teach a lot
of new Casuals (Not full timers) their job. As we sat on our forklifts, I always asked
them why they gave them these expensive forklifts to use. The reply always had to
with them getting work done faster or a greater volume. The real answer is to lower
Workman's Compensation Claims.

How many more Billionaires does the world need? It is always we workers fault as we like
to eat and sleep in a comfortable environment too. OUR MIDDLE-CLASS WEALTH has been stolen
bit by bit and concentrated in the the hands of fewer and fewer each day.

Fixed costs in a business are fixed. The only thing not fixed is the GREED side or profit one
desires on the end. The easiest is cut the worker's side as that is the biggest easiest thing to do.
We Union people WORK OUR ASSES OFF FOR YOU come rain, shine 27/7 365 so that the rest of you may cuss us out
for doing things you would never do.
