Dementia Joe's slow response to Hurricane Helene

 Streiff:

It has been a week since Hurricane Helene hit western North Carolina, and Joe Biden has finally announced, on behalf of whoever is running the country, that he has authorized 1,000 federal troops from Fort Bragg (I will never call it anything else) North Carolina, to assist in disaster relief operations a mere 250 miles away.

...

The critical resources needed in the hardest hit areas of Western North Carolina are helicopters for getting stranded people out of danger and bringing supplies to areas cut off by flooding. As of Wednesday afternoon, the only military aircraft available are 11 from Florida, two from South Carolina, seven from Tennessee, and one from Virginia. Some of those may be in use in North Carolina as both Florida and South Carolina have sent National Guard contingents to North Carolina.

...

A lot of hard questions are being asked about the lack of military support.

Back to the video.

Here's the problem, I'm going to tell you everything that is happening from the ground, what I'm seeing because what they're telling you is complete bullsh** on the news and these politicians There is a significant issue with the information being reported by the news and politicians don't have a f***ing clue and they're lying. The status now is stated in the video. The only thing I need from this video is helicopters. If I have helicopters I can save lives. Without helicopters, I can't reach these people. It doesn't matter how many chainsaws or trucks I got, I can't get to them. They are 10 miles in, 20 miles, or even 40 miles away in the mountains. There is no way to get to them or even communicate with them.

I am literally flying around in a civilian helicopter, looking for SOS messages carved in the mud or painted on the ground and we're dropping down and saving them. What got me fired up about this was yesterday, me and my team did that rescue of an 11-day-old baby and all these government officials and social media are showing that, pictures and video of that rescue and claiming like they had some government help with that.

...

The effort to deal with the crisis posed by the hurricane appears to be slower than those in distress would desire. I get the impression that the Biden administration is not on top of this operation.  The people on the ground are dealing with what has been described as a 100-year flood.

My granddaughter and her dad live on a mountain in North Carolina and the road up to their house was destroyed by the rainfall.  We know that they are OK because my granddaughter's boyfriend climbed the mountain to check on them.  So far the power has not been restored.
