Death by Incompetence and Indifference

What’s happening in North Carolina right now, in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, is nothing short of one of the greatest scandals in American history. It’s a devastating failure by the federal government. Bureaucratic incompetence and indifference on a catastrophic scale have resulted in the needless deaths of hundreds of Americans.

This isn’t hyperbole; it’s reality. Kamala Harris should lose the election in a landslide for this disaster alone. It’s that bad. And yet, almost no one in the media is covering it. They’ve chosen to ignore one of the worst natural disasters in our nation’s history, while thousands are missing or dead, and the damage estimates are already creeping past $50 billion.

It’s impossible not to think back to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. One week after Katrina hit, you couldn’t turn on the TV or open a newspaper without being bombarded by wall-to-wall coverage.

The New York Times had critical stories on the front page, above the fold. The media was relentless in their coverage of George W. Bush’s response to Katrina. And let’s be honest, Bush didn’t handle it perfectly. But he responded within two days and deployed resources at 10 times the level we’re seeing in North Carolina. Yet, now?

Crickets. No mention of Helene on the NY Times front page, no endless CNN coverage about FEMA’s bungled response. No 24/7 coverage of the victims and devastation.

Why? Well, of course you know why. Because there’s a Democrat in the White House, and the media is playing defense for their DNC clients. What we’re witnessing isn’t just media bias—it’s calculated and willful ignorance…and it’s evil. It’s a transparent attempt to cover up a disaster of epic proportions because it doesn’t fit the preferred narrative.

This disaster—the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history and the 2nd largest loss of life—is unfolding, and what are we getting from the Harris/Biden administration? Nothing.

FEMA has thrown up its hands and claimed they’re out of money, with much of their budget reportedly spent on resettling illegal migrants. Imagine that. American citizens, dying and displaced in the wake of Helene, and FEMA can’t respond because the funds are gone. This is the state of our government—completely out of touch with its own people, prioritizing the needs of others over its citizens.

$200 Billion to Ukraine. $450B+ to illegal immigrants every year.

And $750 to American citizens who have had their lives destroyed.

In the ultimate tone deaf statement, Secretary of State Blinken lauded the Administration’s efforts in delivering $157 Million dollars to displaced civilians and refugees in….?checks notes? Lebanon.

As thousands of Americans are dead or missing and receiving no aid from the Federal Government, our dear leaders are lauding their efforts in a Hezbollah governed state 7,000 miles away.

Not only are the federal government’s response efforts woefully inadequate and pathetic, but there are credible stories that FEMA is actually interfering and preventing civilian, state and local rescue efforts.

I’m not surprised, but I am deeply disgusted. I’ve seen this before. This is the same betrayal I felt during COVID when the government lied to us, locked us down, and then had the gall to demand we inject experimental, barely-tested vaccines into ourselves and our families to be able to keep our jobs or socialize in public.

“Trust the science!”, they said, even as Pfizer and the FDA refused to release the data for 75 years. It was during that time, just like now, when I fully realized: our government doesn’t care about us. It’s not just incompetence. It’s indifference, even hostility, toward the very people they claim to serve.

After the COVID mandates, after the BLM riots, after the disasters in Hawaii and East Palestine, now this. How many times do we have to go through the same thing before we wake up? How many more Americans will be radicalized by this experience, realizing that their government has failed them in the most fundamental ways?

These aren’t just failures; they’re crimes. They are betrayals of the American people on a scale we haven’t seen in modern history.

Look at the list: the Russia collusion hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop coverup, the lies about COVID and the safety of treatments, the unconstitutional mandates, the blatant censorship and violations of the First Amendment, the open borders invasion, and now FEMA money going to resettle illegal immigrants while Americans die in North Carolina. What in the world are we paying taxes for? What is the point of government if it can’t even exert the most minimal effort or competence to protect its own citizens?

These aren’t just bad policies or unfortunate mistakes. These are the actions of anti-human globalists who have declared war on their own citizens. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: “they hate you”. This government—this regime—is not on your side. It’s not looking out for you or your family. It’s actively working against your interests, eroding your freedoms, and dismantling the very fabric of American society.

And who’s being held accountable? No one. Joe Biden will likely die of old age before he faces any consequences for his administration’s treasonous actions.

But Kamala Harris and Alejandro Mayorkas? They should be jailed for life for this. For spending FEMA money on illegal immigrants instead of Americans, for the deaths and suffering of our fellow citizens.

This is the death of American competence, the death of a government that once, at least in theory, worked for its people.

But there’s still one last chance to turn the tide. We have one final opportunity to elect leaders who will put America first—who will fight for the people and restore this nation. We can elect Donald Trump and a cadre of the best and brightest—Vivek Ramaswamy, Elon Musk, RFK Jr., and others—and see a resurrection and reinvention of government and the social compact.

This is the America First movement, and it’s our last hope. Because if we stay on this current trajectory, we won’t make it to the end of the decade as a functioning country. Hell, we might not even make it to the 2026 midterms.

Our forefathers tarred and feathered politicians for offenses 100 times less severe than what we’re suffering through today. They understood that accountability wasn’t just an option—it was a necessity. If we don’t demand that same accountability now, we are doomed.

The choice is clear. We can take back this country, or we can watch as it continues to crumble under the weight of corruption, incompetence, and globalist indifference. The clock is ticking, and time is running out. If we don’t act now, we won’t have a country left to save.

If you consider yourself a patriot and an American, and you haven’t gotten at least one other friend to sign up to vote, then get moving. There are no bystanders in a war of attrition. Register, get friends and family registered, and vote early. Because I can guarantee there will be more ‘disruptions’ on the day of the election intentionally designed to disenfranchise our side. This election, we leave nothing to ‘chance’.

This is where I stand right now: I’ve said enough, and I pray to God I’ve done enough. I don’t know how many more of these letters I’ll write, especially as the election approaches. I’m no Paul Revere, but I’ve tried my best to sound the alarm and wake up my fellow Americans to the reality that we are living under a hostile, occupying regime—a government that no longer remotely resembles the one our Founding Fathers fought to create.

We are witnessing the deliberate destruction of the American way of life. And the first step in reclaiming it is acknowledging that truth. The second step is rising up—together—and pushing back with everything we’ve got under the law. This is our moment, our time to act. The longer we remain silent, the deeper the darkness grows. But united, we are a force unstoppable, a people unbreakable. The fight to restore our nation starts now, and it starts with us.

We owe it to our children, to our ancestors, to every American who has sacrificed for freedom. Stand up, push back, and fight for what’s right. America is worth it.
