I thought that was how it was all set up in the first place. As I understand it, and I may be mistaken, FEMA is one bureaucracy that can keep any leftover funds and roll them over into the next fiscal year without penalty. The thinking is that they can use that asap and not have to wait for Congress to appropriate more money for the agency in an emergency.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, FEMA under the instructions of Biden, Harris and Mayorkas, was using the money set aside for disasters and wasting it on illegal aliens and kickbacks to their cronies as \u201cCovid Relief.\u201d FEMA has not been covering itself in glory since it\u2019s inception. The recent mess with Hurricane Helene and the stupefying incompetence of FEMA, especially with the news that they were basing their decisions on who got help using DEI criteria is crying out for Congressional action.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/564x\/42\/c4\/41\/42c4413852f49846079a2a0ba42a58b5.jpg?resize=500%2C282&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Frankly, it may be time to just disband the agency entirely and set up an office with the Military handling things. They live for logistics and when it comes to getting things done, once they have their instructions, just stand back and watch them work. Of course, that was before Obama and Biden came in and trashed the officer corps.<\/p>\n<p>As for Mayorkas? He better hope that Biden remembers to give him a full pardon before he leaves office. If any of the Biden-Harris cabinet secretaries deserve to be criminally investigated, and potentially indicted, it\u2019s Alejandro Mayorkas. If he was transferring funds that should have been available to provide disaster assistance and relief for purposes that congress never intended, he needs to retire to the house of many doors.<\/p>\n<p>Thatisall<\/p>\n<span id=\"post-ratings-43904\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"55338da485\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_43904_1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1 Star\" title=\"1 Star\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(43904, 1, '1 Star');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_43904_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2 Stars\" title=\"2 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(43904, 2, '2 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_43904_3\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3 Stars\" title=\"3 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(43904, 3, '3 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_43904_4\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 Stars\" title=\"4 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(43904, 4, '4 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_43904_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5 Stars\" title=\"5 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(43904, 5, '5 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/> (<strong>4<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>5.00<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"post-ratings-text\" id=\"ratings_43904_text\"><\/span><\/span><span id=\"post-ratings-43904-loading\" class=\"post-ratings-loading\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/loading.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" class=\"post-ratings-image\" \/>Loading...<\/span>\n<p><i><b>~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day all.
