EXCLUSIVE: FEMA Employees Discharged For Sending Filthy Sexts, Watching Porn On The Clock

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Two employees at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) were fired after investigators found they had engaged in sexually explicit online conversations, or “sexting,” with foreign nationals, according to an internal probe.

A review by FEMA’s Insider Threat Program (ITP) flagged one IT Services Division worker — who held a top secret clearance — for logging into Facebook Messenger on the agency’s unclassified network and sexting with someone believed to be in the Philippines, records show.

Between Aug. 19 and 27, the employee allegedly exchanged multiple messages with the presumed Filipino national, documents obtained by the Daily Caller show. In one, he wrote, “I saw your post on a Philippine dating group here, so I messaged you,” and later referenced “Manila Philippines,” saying he hoped to visit in “November or December.”

Investigators found the messages were part of a broader pattern of explicit online communications, underscoring both the extent and frequency of the employee’s conduct. User Activity Monitoring (UAM) also showed that on Aug. 25 he searched Google Maps and Hotels.com for Cavite, a city in the Calabarzon region of the Philippines.

A follow-up UAM review turned up another exchange on Aug. 28 in which the employee told the foreign contact, “but I can’t bring my phone inside my workplace, so I leave it in the car. Only chat here on FB Messenger while I’m working.”

In the same Aug. 28 exchange, the employee wrote, “I wish you were here sitting in my lap while I work,” and, “I want to hug your waist while I work and smell your hair, kiss your neck.”

A separate case involved an Environmental Protection Specialist in FEMA’s Environmental Historic Preservation office in Alabama. Monitoring showed the employee repeatedly accessed a pornography site on the agency’s unclassified network and engaged in explicit chats with multiple users.

Investigators later found the employee had made numerous sexual comments and even uploaded a pornographic image from a file labeled “work memes” to a user identified as “tooMessyForMe” during conversations on Aug. 30-31.

Two FEMA employees — whose duties included safeguarding the nation from terrorism and nuclear threats — were fired Tuesday after the internal probe confirmed they had accessed sexually explicit material at work, the New York Post reported.

Both employees were based at FEMA’s remote Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center near Bluemont, Virginia — a hardened facility built to protect the country during national emergencies, terror attacks and even nuclear strikes.

The Department of Homeland Security’s Insider Threat Operations Center led the probe and flagged at least one worker for accessing “deviant pornography,” including bestiality content, according to DHS officials who oversee FEMA.

Explainer: How Trump ’s Proposed 2026 Budget Impacts Transgenderism, Abortion, Education, Immigration, and More

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

President Donald Trump won the 2024 election with a promise to end divisive, taxpayer-funded programs, and his proposed budget for the next fiscal year proves he is willing to save your money where his mouth is. The president’s budget specifically asks Congress to cut billions of dollars from government programs promoting “radical transgender ideology,” “LGBTQIA+” programs, and government “targeting [of] peaceful pro-life protesters” while transferring power back to the states and increasing federal funding for national defense, border security, and public safety.

President Trump detailed his proposed FY 2026 budget in a 46-page overview of major discretionary funding changes, revealing a fiscal and ideological break with his Democratic predecessors. In all, Trump would spend $1.69 trillion, including requesting more than $1 trillion in defense spending for the first time in U.S. history to assist in “repelling the invasion of our border” and “to clean up the mess President Trump inherited from the prior administration.”

Yet the White House refers to the spending guidelines as the “skinny budget,” since it offsets significant spending hikes with $136 billion in reductions that slash 22.6% from non-defense discretionary spending. “Savings come from eliminating radical diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and critical race theory programs, Green New Scam funding, large swaths of the Federal Government weaponized against the American people, and moving programs that are better suited for States and localities to provide,” according to a White House fact sheet that accompanied the budget release.

If the Biden-Harris administration’s proposed FY 2025 budget sought to insert equity into every program through a whole-of-government approach, the second Trump administration has set out to uproot every vestige of compulsory taxpayer funding of the radical Left. “Over the last four years, Government spending aggressively turned against the American people and trillions of our dollars were used to fund cultural Marxism … and even our own invasion” by illegal immigrants, said Russ Vought, director of the Office and Management and Budget (OMB). “No agency was spared in the Left’s taxpayer-funded cultural revolution.” The administration cited $315 million the Biden administration spent on grant programs “to push ‘intersectionality,’ ‘racial equity,’ and LGBTQIA+ programming for preschoolers,” adding that the FY 2026 budget “ends all of that.”

The budget also promises to advance “the Administration’s goal of restoring federalism,” tying the well-being of families to the U.S. government’s respect for states’ rights and constitutional order. “Just as the Federal Government has intruded on matters best left to American families, it has intruded on matters best left to the levels of government closest to the people,” writes Vought in a letter transmitting the budget.

Here are the specific cuts and dollar amounts removed from the federal budget.

Abortion and the Right-to-Life Movement

President Trump’s proposed FY 2026 budget slashes or eliminates abortion funding while protecting pro-life advocates’ constitutional rights. Specifically, the budget would cut $6.2 billion from Global Health Programs and Family Planning initiatives. “The United States is the largest global contributor to programs that provide so-called family planning services through liberal NGOs, and have funded abortions. This stands in direct conflict with the President’s action reinstating the ‘Mexico City Policy.’ The Budget protects life and prevents a pro-abortion agenda from being promoted abroad with taxpayer dollars.” The president reinstated his 2017 Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance (PLGHA) policy, which bars any group that receives taxpayer funding from carrying out or advocating for abortion overseas. But the budget maintains funding for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) for current recipients.

The proposed budget also safeguards pro-life advocates’ rights by eliminating $545 million from Biden-Harris administration policies that charged the FBI with “targeting peaceful pro-life protesters, concerned parents at school board meetings, and citizens opposed to radical transgender ideology,” as well as erasing “DEI programs.” The budget also reestablishes fairness by cutting $193 million from General Legal Activities at the Justice Department, prioritizing criminal prosecutions but reducing the budget of the Civil Rights Division, “which the previous administration weaponized against States implementing election integrity measures, local police departments, and pro-life Americans.”

Slashing LGBTQ Radicalism and DEI Programs

President Trump made eliminating DEI, critical race theory, and government-sponsored racism and sexism a focus of his successful 2024 campaign, cementing the approach through a series of executive actions that prosecute race-based discrimination. Similarly, the Republican Party spent $65 million on ads highlighting the Democratic Party’s extremism on transgender ideology, making it the top reason swing voters decided not to vote for Kamala Harris, according to the Democratic polling firm Blueprint. The proposed FY 2026 budget cuts tens of billions of dollars in DEI and LGBTQIA+ funding, as well as climate change ideology.

The proposed budget cuts $18 billion from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to restore “accountability, public trust, and transparency at the NIH. NIH has broken the trust of the American people with wasteful spending, misleading information, risky research, and the promotion of dangerous ideologies that undermine public health” by denying the likely lab leak origin of COVID-19 and promoting gain-of-function research, which the president recently banned by executive order. Yet “NIH has also promoted radical gender ideology to the detriment of America’s youth. For example, the NIH funded a study titled ‘Psychosocial Functioning in Transgender Youth after 2 Years of Hormones,’ in which two participants tragically committed suicide,” the budget notes. The president also cuts $3.6 billion from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in a blueprint that “eliminates duplicative, DEI, or simply unnecessary programs.”

The president would cut $8.3 billion from Economic Support Fund, Development Assistance for Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia, as part of a broader foreign policy to place American interests first and save Europe from itself, but also because “U.S. economic and development aid has been funneled to radical, leftist priorities, including climate change, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and LGBTQ activities around the world.”

The budget cuts $3.5 billion from the National Science Foundation’s grants and research on “climate; clean energy; woke social, behavioral, and economic sciences.” That comes in addition to another $1.1 billion cut to NSF’s Broadening Participation activities, which have underwritten such programs as “Reimagining Educator Learning Pathways Through Storywork for Racial Equity in STEM”; “addressing White Supremacy in the STEM profession”; and preparing “the next generation of DEI leaders to promote long-term, sustainable racial equity initiatives.”

The president moved dramatically against the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) after taking office: exposing their radical grants before firing most of their staff and placing the agency under the authority of Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The FY 2026 budget cuts $2.5 billion from USAID and “eliminates non-essential staff that were hired based on DEI and preferencing practices” while implementing executive orders 14169 to realign foreign aid and 14151 to eliminate DEI programs.

The budget cuts more than $1 billion in grants nestled under the Department of Justice, such as “$1 million to the National Opinion Research Center to ‘investigate the social ecological context of anti-LGBTQ+ hate crime reporting.’ Further, the Budget realigns Violence Against Women Act funding with its original core mission to combat violence against women and directly serve victims — eliminating extraneous programs that divert resources from these core functions. For example, grant funding from the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) had been offered for biological men. In addition, OVW’s Rural Program grants were sent to train community-based Fa’afafine advocates — an organization of biological men that describes themselves as a ‘third-gender.’”

Pro-family experts singled out the VAWA proposal as a welcome gesture. “VAWA programs are intended to help women who are the victims of abuse and in recent years it has been invaded by gender ideology. Currently, women who escape abuse in a VAWA funded shelter could be forced to share private spaces with a man,” Mary Beth Waddell, director of Federal Affairs for Family and Religious Liberty at Family Research Council, told The Washington Stand. “We are grateful that the president is calling out this injustice.”

The budget cuts $4.5 billion from the Department of Education while maintaining full federal funding for K-12 schools, consolidating 18 programs into one formula grant that allows the DOE to do as much work with fewer employees. “The new approach allows States and districts to focus on the core subjects — math, reading, science, and history — without the distractions of DEI and weaponization from the previous administration,” notes the budget. It also saves $127 million in administrative costs.

At the college level, the budget cuts $195 million from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Ed (FIPSE), noting that Congress has “abused FIPSE by using it to fund initiatives unrelated to students or institutional reforms, including earmarking $1.2 million for San Diego Community College’s LGBTQIA+ PRIDE Center staffing.” It also cuts $1.6 billion from TRIO and GEAR UP, two programs that incentivized colleges to engage low-income students. The administration argues that economic incentives have eliminated the need for the federal government to continue underwriting colleges and universities’ outreach. “A renewed focus on academics and scholastic accomplishment by [Institutions of Higher Education], rather than engaging in woke ideology with Federal taxpayer subsidies, would be a welcome change for students and the future of the Nation.” The budget also removes $691 million in cultural exchanges for foreign exchange students that prevent American students from acquiring high-demand skills, which the foreign students then take back to their home countries.

The budget cuts $1.6 billion by consolidating the Labor Department’s Make America Skilled Again (MASA) grants, defunding nonprofits promoting DEI, and “the hiring of illegal aliens and migrants; sometimes providing them subsidized housing in addition to a job.”

It cuts $1.3 billion from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), scrutinizing NOAA grants for “George Mason University’s ‘Policy Experience in Equity Climate and Health’ fellowship, a workshop for ‘transgender women, and those who identify as nonbinary.’”

Trump’s budget cuts $646 million from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)’s non-disaster grant programs, seeking to curtail such FEMA activities as “webinars promoting the distribution of disaster aid based on ‘intersectional’ factors like sexual orientation and prioritizing ‘investment in diversity and inclusion efforts … and multicultural training’ over disaster prevention and response.” Under the Trump administration, “FEMA will no longer ‘instill equity as a foundation of emergency management.’” The document rightly notes that “FEMA discriminated against Americans who voted for the President in the wake of recent hurricanes, skipping over their homes when providing aid. This activity will no longer be tolerated.”

The budget cuts $624 million from the Economic Development Administration (EDA) and Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), specifically citing an EDA grant “constructing a ‘Pride Plaza’ in Portland, Oregon.”

It cuts $602 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), effectively eliminating “wasteful, woke programming in NIFA, such as activities related to climate change, renewable energy, and promoting DEI in education that were prioritized under the Biden Administration.”

The Trump administration aims to gut federally funded woke programs aimed at Americans at both ends of life. The proposed FY 2026 budget eliminates $405 million from the Labor Department’s Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), which is supposed to subsidize jobs and employment for poor senior citizens but “is effectively an earmark to leftist, DEI-promoting entities like the National Urban League, the Center for Workforce Inclusion, and Easter Seals.” At the same time, it cuts $315 million from Preschool Development Grants (PDG), which was “weaponized by the Biden-Harris Administration to extend the Federal reach and push DEI policies on to toddlers.” For instance, the “guiding principles” implemented by the Minnesota Department of Education for its PDG program include “intersectionality” and “racial equity.”

The budget cuts roughly $19 billion from programs promoting what the White House calls the “Green New Scam.”

The government’s proposed budget generally reins in government grants flowing to radical causes:

  • It cuts $167 million by consolidating the Small Business Administration’s Entrepreneurial Development Programs (EDP), deleting such programs as SCORE, “which in 2023 posted ‘Six Ways to Support LGBTQIA-Owned Businesses.’”
  • It cuts $129 million from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), which “pushed radical gender ideology onto children, funding a project at the Seattle Children’s Hospital titled, ‘Using Telehealth to Improve Access to Gender-Affirming Care for BIPOC and Rural Gender-Diverse Youth.’”
  • It cuts $112 million from programs aimed at “Strengthening Institutions,” noting, “It is not the responsibility of Federal taxpayers to support a new ‘Guided Pathways Village, expanding the current Learning Communities and creating a new Ethnic and Pride Inclusion Center for historically underserved students, including LGBTQ+ students.’”
  • It cuts $100 million in “divisive racial discrimination and environmental justice grants that were destined to go to organizations that advance radical ideologies.”
  • It cuts $70 million from Teacher Quality Partnerships, which field grants indoctrinating teachers to begin “acknowledging and responding to systemic forms of oppression and inequity, including racism, ableism, ‘gender-based’ discrimination, homophobia, and ageism.”
  • It cuts $55 million from Complex Crisis Fund, “a catch-all slush fund for nation-building projects and political interference” which “has been weaponized to mandate DEI and LGBTQ policies be implemented in recipient countries as a condition of aid to small businesses.”
  • It cuts $49 million from the DOE’s Office of Civil Rights, a 35% strategic reduction to “refocus away from DEI and Title IX transgender cases … while removing their ability to push DEI programs and promote radical transgender ideology.”

The proposed FY 2026 budget also cuts a total of $19.2 billion from Energy Department initiatives it describes as part of the “Green New Scam.”

Getting the Government Out of the ‘Disinformation’ Business

The proposed FY 2026 budget cuts $491 million from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) as part of its efforts to eliminate “weaponization and waste.” The budget “eliminates programs focused on so-called misinformation and propaganda as well as external engagement offices such as international affairs. These programs and offices were used as a hub in the Censorship Industrial Complex to violate the First Amendment.”

It also cuts $315 million for the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which supported Ukrainian government efforts to brand critics as exponents of Russian disinformation and “funded the now-infamous Disinformation Index Foundation that targeted and blacklisted conservative media outlets like Federalist, Newsmax, TAC, the Blaze,” and others.

Restoring National Sovereignty

President Trump has identified himself with the words “America First,” and his budget stakes out similar priorities. It cuts $1.7 billion from the United Nations, UNESCO, and World Health Organization dues, implementing executive order 14199. However, the president may fund these organizations out of a separate funding source “to preserve maximum negotiating leverage.” It also eliminates $1.6 billion from United Nations “peacekeeping” missions that wage war under the U.N.’s blue-helmeted auspices. And it cuts $1.5 billion from Food for Peace, recognizing the waste and abuse of foreign aid transfers from U.S. taxpayers to foreign oligarchs.

The budget also acknowledges that the free market and local business development create sustainable prosperity, not foreign aid. “The program also distorts and undermines local and regional markets where the aid often could be purchased for less and with less waste,” says the budget. Similarly, it cuts $75 million from Transition Initiatives, a program that leads to “further destabilization” around the world and “funds a wasteful tangle of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and partisan cutouts pushing a leftist agenda around the world.”

Borders, Patriotism, National Unity

The budget increases funding for the Department of Homeland Security — which oversees many border enforcement and deportation efforts — by a whopping 65%, or $43.8 billion in additional funds. It cuts nearly $2 billion from programs for refugees and Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs), funds which “were weaponized by the Biden-Harris Administration to give cash handouts, medical services, and job training to illegal immigrants” and to release children in the custody of “insufficiently vetted sponsors,” effectively making the government complicit in child trafficking.

It cuts $650 million from the Shelter and Services Program earmarked for “non-citizen migrants,” tax payments which “funded radical leftist NGOs, who spent funding to facilitate mass illegal migration into the interior of the Nation … weakening the United States from within, taking resources away from American citizens, and promoting crime and decay in America’s cities.” And it cuts $247 million from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which the Biden administration used “to facilitate mass illegal migration by allowing illegal migrants to fly into the interior without proper documentation.”

Yet the budget radically increases funding for the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) to hire more air traffic controllers; for Rail Safety and Infrastructure grants to prevent tragedies such as the train derailment and intentional detonation of a train in East Palestine, Ohio; for the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to intercept fentanyl; and for stronger trade enforcement against technological and competitiveness threats from the People’s Republic of China.

“Linking proposed decreases in funding to areas of egregious mismanagement of taxpayer dollars and reorienting these dollars to their intended purpose, as opposed to ideological ones, sends a strong message that taxpayers deserve respect, and the use of their hard-earned money should be stewarded well,” Waddell told TWS.

Dems Support FEMA Funds Being Diverted to Migrants

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

While Americans are still struggling to recover from a devastating hurricane season, Democrats are signaling that they approve of federal agencies giving relief money — not to their fellow Americans — but to migrants.

According to a Rasmussen Reports survey published Monday, the majority of likely voters (59%) want the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to focus its resources on American citizens, but 29% approve of FEMA spending money on migrants. A majority (59%) of Democrat voters approve of FEMA diverting resources from Americans to migrants, while only 8% of Republican voters and less than 20% of Independent voters do the same.

While a majority (61%) of voters have a favorable view of FEMA and its Hurricane Helene disaster response, Democrats are the most likely (at 82%) to rate government agencies favorably, as opposed to only 45% of Republicans and 42% of Independent voters. Rasmussen Reports noted, “Among all voters who have a very favorable opinion of FEMA, 68% think spending FEMA money to help immigrants is a good idea.”

The survey follows reports of widespread mismanagement, misallocation of funds, and inaction on FEMA’s part in response to Hurricane Helene, which destroyed a 500-mile swath of homes, towns, and cities in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, and parts of Tennessee and Virginia.

Following Hurricane Helene’s landfall, FEMA and other government officials reportedly blocked private American citizens from providing help to impacted areas, especially in the western region of North Carolina. Private citizens conducting search and rescue missions, carrying supplies, or attempting to provide transportation were halted by FEMA and, in some cases, threatened with arrest. Reports have also suggested that FEMA employees are working regular nine-to-five hours, staying in hotels that are then denied to victims of the hurricane, and confiscating supplies and donations, diverting them to immigrant communities instead of to American citizens.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been criticized for announcing that FEMA is almost out of funding and does not have the money to last through the remainder of the hurricane season. However, the agency has spent $1.4 billion since 2022 on illegal immigrants. On Monday night’s episode of “Washington Watch,” former Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf, who helped oversee FEMA during the Trump administration, said, “As the Secretary of Homeland Security, part of your job … is to show those impacted that for the most part, the federal government hears you and we’re there to help you as best we can using the authorities that we have.”

He continued, “One of the first things [Mayorkas] says on the way down to North Carolina is ‘We’re out of money, FEMA doesn’t have enough money,’ which I would say is the exact wrong message to send to the people that are hurting in North Carolina.” Wolf added, “They want to know that the government is on their side and is doing everything possible to make sure that they get the assistance they need in such devastating, devastating times.”

Wolf also explained that Mayorkas’s claims of FEMA being out of money may not be “accurate,” noting that the agency has “access to over $20 billion to draw from. And so, the amount of money that they have obligated versus what they have actually spent — they’ve obligated a good amount. What they’ve actually spent is very low.”

He continued, “Now is not the time to talk about ‘We need to replenish what we call the Disaster Relief Fund.’ Now is the time to help individuals on the ground.” He explained that after resources have actually been depleted in hurricane relief efforts, FEMA can ask Congress to supplement the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF). “And Congress is there to do that. They’ve done that historically. There’s little debate. The only debate is how much? They’re always making sure that we take care of those impacted most,” he said. Wolf added, “Frankly, I think there’s more than enough funding to get them through that period of time, and then they can certainly come back after that.”

FEMA’s New Playbook: Save the LGBT and Leave the Rest to Rot

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

You might think this shocking story is one big conspiracy theory. But you’d be wrong—or, if it is, blame the New York Post for this sensational bombshell.

The federal government never ceases to amaze.

When disaster strikes, you’d think FEMA would have a pretty simple mission: get in, help as many people as possible, and save lives. But apparently, that’s a little too “old school” for today’s disaster relief experts.

Now, it’s not about helping the greatest number of people—no, that would be too utilitarian. Instead, welcome to FEMA 2.0, where “disaster equity” reigns supreme, and some lives, particularly LGBT lives, matter more than others.

In a 2023 webinar titled “Helping LGBTQIA+ Survivors Before Disasters”—because, of course, we need a whole seminar on this—FEMA’s top minds and other federal health and disaster officials decided to lay it all out.

The goal?

Move away from those tired old policies that benefit everyone equally and focus on the real priority: serving specific groups based on innate characteristics like sexual orientation and gender identity.

Who cares if you’re a struggling mom trying to rebuild after a hurricane wiped out your town or a retiree whose home just got turned into a swimming pool?

Apparently, you’re not “marginalized” enough.

Maggie Jarry from SAMHSA even had the audacity to suggest that federal agencies—those tasked with saving lives—need to focus less on the “greatest good for the greatest number” and more on catering to identity politics.

Her exact words? “The shift we’re seeing right now is a shift in emergency services from utilitarian principles… to disaster equity.”

How convenient.

So, forget about the folks who have sex in the conventional love-making style —the ones who might have actually believed FEMA would be there when the winds picked up and the floodwaters rose.

Now, it’s all about helping gays, lesbians, queers, transsexuals, and illegal immigrants.

But let’s talk numbers because the numbers don’t lie—unlike some of FEMA’s public statements. When Hurricane Helene ravaged the Southeast, victims were told that FEMA’s coffers were running dry.

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas had the nerve to claim there simply wasn’t enough money left to get through the hurricane season.

Yet a Department of Homeland Security Inspector General report from August reveals that FEMA has around $7 billion sitting around—money that could have gone to the victims of Helene and now Hurricane Milton.

So, why the discrepancy? Are they hoping we won’t notice the extra zeroes on their balance sheet?

It’s almost as if FEMA is intentionally keeping those funds in reserve, and gee, I wonder why. Could it be because those dollars are being earmarked for the “marginalized identities” that the webinar panelists gushed about?

Are we really supposed to believe that a federal agency like FEMA just forgot they had $7 billion tucked away somewhere?

This all smacks of a classic bait-and-switch. Tell the general public—especially those left homeless by hurricanes—that there’s no money for them. Then, quietly freeze those funds for special groups that check the right identity boxes.

And let’s not forget the icing on the cake:

FEMA’s new role in addressing the migrant crisis. They’ve blown through $1.4 billion of their funds to help settle migrants since 2022, leaving less for, you know, actual disasters like hurricanes.

So while families in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida are being handed crumbs in the form of $750 checks for groceries, FEMA’s focus has shifted elsewhere—far away from where it’s supposed to be.

But hey, maybe FEMA’s new disaster relief strategy makes perfect sense if you look at it through a particular lens. After all, if you prioritize people based on who they love rather than the severity of their needs, you can still pat yourself on the back for being “equitable.”

Never mind that you’ve just shattered any pretense of fairness or compassion. Never mind that you’ve left families, veterans, and elderly folks out in the cold—quite literally—while you champion your woke agenda.

It’s a tragic joke, and the punchline is at the expense of those who believed their government was supposed to protect them.

The reality is apparent: FEMA has the money. They have billions in funds. But instead of using those resources to help every American affected by disasters like Helene and Milton, they’ve decided the lives of LGBT and immigrant invaders are more deserving than others.

It’s not just a betrayal; it’s discrimination masquerading as compassion.

And what’s their excuse when called out on it? The same old tired lines: “misinformation,” “disinformation.”

But it’s not misinformation when you can see the numbers for yourself. It’s not a conspiracy theory when it’s all laid out in black and white. It’s time FEMA stopped playing favorites and returned to doing its actual job—saving lives, not dividing them.

ROOKE: While Hurricane Victims Suffer, Kamala Makes Time For Podcast Famous For Giving Girls Blowjob Advice

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

While American citizens are desperately trying to stay alive and rebuild their communities from Hurricane Helene, Vice President Kamala Harris was interviewed by a podcast host famous for teaching young women how to be sluts.

The Harris campaign confirmed that, while Americans were fighting for their lives in storm wreckage, she sat down for a pre-taped interview set to air next week with the Call Her Daddy podcast, featuring host and creator Alex Cooper, who typically talks to various celebrities and “experts” about sexually charged topics, like how to give the perfect blowjob.

THEY ARE READY FOR A CALL HER DADDY PARTY😂🔥👏🏼 The most savage way to deck out your pad. Welcome to slut camp, Cooch Gobbler and Gluck Gluck is on the menu, a sofia mugshot photo wall, you’re just a hole. LET’S GOOOOO😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #respect pic.twitter.com/34kiCacWnd

Naturally, one might ask: Why is the Democrat nominee for president sitting down with the nation’s leading whore-pod, and how is this connected to hurricane victims?

While the death toll in North Carolina continues to rise, residents see their family members hanging in trees, and aid is actively being blocked by FEMA, Kamala Harris decided to film an episode of “Call Her Daddy”

Call Her Daddy is primarily a sex and relationship podcast. pic.twitter.com/mnC16HrVl4

— Ashley St. Clair (@stclairashley) October 4, 2024

The answer is that when desperate Americans called her for help, Harris was too busy with Call Her Daddy to answer. The Biden-Harris response to the devasting natural disaster has been an undeniable failure. People living in the Carolinas, Tennessee and Georgia are still stranded without food, running water, electricity or medications. The administration says it’s doing all it can to help Americans living in the devastated areas. Still, residents and emergency responders claim the federal government’s response is not just lacking, but wholly inadequate. (ROOKE: Walz Solidifies Harris Policy Position That Would Transform Country As We Know It)

The heroes on the ground even report that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are impeding rescue efforts. Starlink founder Elon Musk announced Friday that federal agencies prevented him from delivering internet capabilities to the area.

So, while all of this is happening in real America, it seems the only thing Harris is focused on is ensuring that she secures the women’s vote. Call Her Daddy was Spotify’s number two podcast in 2023 and the most listened-to among women. Harris will reportedly talk about “reproductive rights and abortion, along with other issues important to women in the upcoming election,” Axios reported. (ROOKE: Democrats’ ‘New Masculinity’ Will Keep Turning Away Critical Voting Bloc)

A recent episode featured actress Heather McMahan discussing blowjob techniques and “hall passes” (a euphemism for infidelity). These types of discussions are not a one-off. Most of her episodes are about sexual positions, cheating and threesomes. It’s a one-stop shop for women to praise degenerate sexuality.

Meanwhile, men, a demographic Harris struggles with, are listening to podcasts that talk about national security, health, science and economics. One can only wonder if Harris is too scared to go on shows popular with men, like The Joe Rogan Experience, The Huberman Lab and The Tucker Carlson Show, because the topics discussed on these podcasts are too complex. She wouldn’t be able to cackle her way through tough questions about why Hurricane Helene victims were left to rot while she fundraised in sunny California.

It’s clearly much easier for a vapid woman with no substantive thought in her brain to talk about sex work. But Harris isn’t just any vapid woman — she’s running to be the next president of the United States. She wants to hold the most important elected office in our country (arguably the world). Her decision to tape an hour-long episode on a whore-pod to discuss abortion is not only insulting to Americans living in the Carolinas, Tennessee and Georgia, but it’s also a stark reminder that our country is run by people who hate it.

NEW EPISODE 89- A man does coke off Hannah’s tit, Alex lies about Chlamydia, and The Flirting Bible is revealed. Talking being Division 1 athletes, and also their love for f*cking athletes! GO LISTEN ENJOY> https://t.co/GL6i61Cp5u @honey pic.twitter.com/5AjYDSjru0

Democrats are desperate to make this election about the ability of women to murder their children. They need women to come out to vote in droves with one topic on their minds: abortion. Harris’s appearance on Call Her Daddy is the perfect way to distract American women from her abject failure with the economy, illegal immigration, safety, and most recently hurricane relief. This shouldn’t be that hard, considering most female voters rank abortion as their number one issue in this election cycle.

SpaceX engineers are trying to deliver Starlink terminals & supplies to devastated areas in North Carolina right now and @FEMA is both failing to help AND won’t let others help. This is unconscionable!!

While it’s probably not that big of a shock that former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown’s ex-girlfriend chose to talk about abortion on the nation’s top blowjob podcast, it’s undeniable that Americans deserve better, especially from someone who wants to be president. Harris seems to have forgotten that Democrat women aren’t the only ones affected by her leadership. While leftists want abortion over competent governing, the rest of the nation would rather her focus on issues at home.

At any other time in our nation’s history, a presidential candidate doing this would be disqualifying. But once again, Harris shows us that she is incapable of handling the basic requirements of the presidency. So, instead of getting a one-on-one, hard-hitting interview, Americans will hear her laugh about sex and abortion.

Florida veterans hit with massive property insurance rate increase on Veterans Day

/in , , /by

Many of Florida’s 1.6 million veterans have their property insurance with United Services Automobile Association (USAA). USAA’s membership base is primarily active duty military, military retirees, veterans and their families. Over the Veterans Day weekend policyholders received their new USAA policies. Florida’s veterans were shocked that, for a second year in a row, they are being hit with a massive increase in property insurance rates. Most of Florida’s veterans are on a fixed income.

Senior Chief Geoff Ross USN (Ret.) from Navarre, Florida in an email to WDW – FL writes, “Today your friendly Senior Chief got into a pissing contest with his homeowners insurance company USAA. They just can’t stop jacking up my rates this time almost doubling my policy. So in my polite and cordial tone I called them up and politely told them where to shove their new rate. The lady actually was very nice and tried very hard not to lose me as a customer after 14 years with this company.”

A Sarasota County veteran who has been a member of USAA for thirty-nine years, saw the property insurance on his modest home go up $741.95. According to his USAA policy, “Of this amount, $693.26 is due to a rate increase, and $48.69 is due to other changes initiated by you or us.” Nothing changed on his home in 2013, which was built in 1990, and he changed nothing on his policy other than increase his deductibles in 2012 to reduce his premium. He raised his risk to keep his costs down, as he is on a fixed income.

WDW – FL contributor Ruth Roman wrote, “Flood insurance premiums for Floridians are expected to rise sharply as the result of new rate hikes which have gone into effect October 1, 2013.  ‘They are not aware of what is about to hit them,’ said Pattit Latshaw of St. Petersburg-based Wright National Flood Insurance Co., the largest underwriter of federal flood insurance in the U.S. The repercussions of these hikes will be devastating for homeowners and small businesses alike.”

When the Sarasota veteran contacted USAA about why the dramatic and costly increase he was referred to paragraph 6 of his policy which states in bold letters, “IN RESPONSE TO FLORIDA LEGISLATION SB1486, LAW AND ORDINANCE COVERAGE IS AN IMPORTANT COVERAGE THAT YOU MAY WISH TO PURCHASE. YOU MAY ALSO NEED TO CONSIDER THE PURCHASE OF FLOOD INSURANCE FROM THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM. WITHOUT THIS COVERAGE, YOU MAY HAVE UNCOVERED LOSSES. PLEASE DISCUSS THESE COVERAGES WITH YOUR INSURANCE AGENT.”

The Sarasota veteran’s USAA policy also states in paragraph 9, “Your policy does NOT cover loss due to flood from any source. For information about obtaining flood coverage from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), call USAA at (800) 531-8722, or contact the NFIP directly.”

The NFIP website states, “In 2012, the U.S. Congress passed the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 which calls on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and other agencies, to make a number of changes to the way the NFIP is run. As the law is implemented, some of these changes have already occurred, and others will be implemented in the coming months. Key provisions of the legislation will require the NFIP to raise rates to reflect true flood risk, make the program more financially stable, and change how Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) updates impact policyholders. The changes will mean premium rate increases for some – but not all — policyholders over time.”

Florida is hardest hit as it is both flood and hurricane prone. The Sarasota veterans home is not in, but is near, a floodplain. The Sarasota, Florida veteran also noted that his property insurance policy includes coverage for: Volcanic Eruption; Weight of Ice, Snow or Sleet; Explosion; Riot or Civil Commotion; and Aircraft.

If the Sarasota veteran’s home is not in a flood plain then what caused such a dramatic increase in his annual property insurance premium? Answer: Surcharges.

His USAA policy statement under “surcharges” lists the following:

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT FUND $2.00
FL HURRICANE CATASTROPHE FUND (FHCF) PREMIUM RECOUPMENT $276.45
FL HURRICANE CATASTROPHE EMERGENCY ASSESSMENT $48.51
CITIZENS EMERGENCY ASSESSMENT $37.32
FL INSURANCE GUARANTY ASSOCIATION RECOUPMENT $22.12

Total – $386.40

Chief Ross noted something else strange when talking with his USAA insurance agent.

“Well what was interesting was this fact. I put in a Koi fish pond a few years ago in my backyard. Its pretty cool and it has fed many Blue Herons in the past that swoop in and steal my aquatic buddies. But check this out. The lady on the phone said I have a beautiful house and my back yard is lovely with a lovely pond. Let me tell you boys and girls I did not tell my insurance company I put in a Koi pond. There is only one way you can see this feature due to my location and that is from the air,” notes Ross.

Ross concludes, “Using my superior skills of decisive intellect and previous life hanging out with CIA operators I conclude these people took aerial pictures of my house to see if I am adding improvements, pool, etc.I am so isolated out here surrounded by trees etc. the only way to see in my back is from above. I asked the lady how did she know I have a fish pond in my backyard and she did not reply. I could here her shuffling the pictures of my home around in her hand. Boys and girls if you have homeowners insurance with USAA and you put in a swimming pool or add on a new room they will know about it…… look above you for the satellite taking pictures. Skinny dippers beware.”

So veterans across Florida are faced with either paying the higher premiums, taking on more risk to reduce their property insurance rate or cancelling their USAA policy. Happy Veterans Day 2013!
