Biden Promises $1 Billion to Help Africans Displaced by Natural Disasters
How about those suffering from Hurricane Helene and Milton?
As people still suffer from Hurricane Helene and Milton, President Joe Biden announced the U.S. will give $1,000,000,000 to African nations to help those displaced by natural disasters.
Biden said in Angola:
That’s the right thing for the wealthiest nation in the world to do. And today I’m announcing over $1 billion in new humanitarian support for Africans displaced from homes by historic droughts and food insecurity.
We know African leaders and citizens are seeking more than just aid. You seek investment. So the United States is expanding our relationship all across Africa, from assistance to aid, investment to trade, moving from patrons to partners to help bridge the infrastructure gap. I was told, by the way, when I got elected, I could never get an infrastructure bill passed.

How about the Americans hit by natural disasters?
How about we stop sending money overseas and take care of Americans?
We’ve seen Americans helping Americans recover from Hurricane Helene and Milton.
In Northeast Tallahassee, real estate agency The American Dream started a nonprofit called “Rebuilding the American Dream.” It held a fundraiser to help people in the community. One event raised $10,000.
WTXL described the event as “a much-needed night away” because, get this, the towns still “look like landfills.”
Rebuilding the American Dream “will be assessing the damages and the needs that several families in the coastal areas are facing to distribute the money raised accordingly.”
On X, Matt Van Swol of technology company WYZE, has been updating everyone on those in North Carolina affected by Helene. He points out how Americans are helping each other and the absence of the government.

Meanwhile we are literally delivering an RV to a mom and 2 year old in #WNC who were LIVING IN THEIR GARAGE because of Helene.
This is insanity.

🚨#BREAKING: A mother in Black Mountain living in a garage with her 2 year old baby will be getting an RV delivered today from Operation Shelter.
It's snowing outside.
She's using a single heater for warmth.
Her baby's crib was destroyed.This will be fixed in a few hours. https://t.co/vDXqhKa4NP

Please note:
It is HIGHLY unusual for county officials to publicly say anything negative about FEMA like this.
They are clearly desperate for help and think this is the best way to get it, which is horrifying.

I drove my kids to school along this road this morning.
Every day feels like Groundhog Day in #WNC.
Same piles of debris.
Same tanker trucks in the river.
Same trash swinging from the trees.My kids and I look out the windows and wonder if this is just the new normal… pic.twitter.com/EXM0h2YLp8

The help from FEMA is useless. Why don’t people take the hotel vouchers? Matt explains:
a) You’re living in Swannanoa NC when the river rises 22 feet and sweeps away your home and 2 vehicles.
b) You have a family of 4 depending on you to make ends meet and work starts back in a few days.
c) FEMA hands you a hotel voucher an hour’s drive from your now-destroyed home.
d) You tell the FEMA rep, “Look, I don’t have a car and I can’t live in a hotel 40 miles away from work and the home I need to start fixing”
e) FEMA says, “Ok, well your temporary home is 3 months away, sorry, so go live in the hotel.”
f) You say, “If I go live in that hotel, I’ll lose my job, I won’t be able to repair my home, and everything we’ve worked so hard for will be gone.”
g) FEMA says, “We still don’t understand why you won’t go live in a free hotel.”
h) You decide to it’s actually LESS RISKY to live in a makeshift tent outside of your home and pray a volunteer will deliver you an RV than go live in a hotel an hour away and lose everything.
FEMA seems to be very confused why the people of #WNC are choosing to NOT use the hotel vouchers they are handing out…

I would just like to remind everyone that CNN has yet to send a single reporter down to #WNC to cover the fact that people are living in tents, in the bitter cold.
Not a single one.

I think today is the most discouraged I’ve been since Helene hit #WNC.
Exhaustion is starting to set in and for the first time I am struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
All I see is a very very long tunnel. pic.twitter.com/hKGvsO9z06

Henry Kissinger in the 70s: “It’s not Africa’s century.”
Hunter Biden two days ago: “Me first, baby! I am my Daddy’s #1 priority ahead of everybody and everything else.”
Joe Biden: “Make Hunter Great Again.”
One difference between the number of people displaced in Africa versus the US is that the number in Africa is over 10.1 million people,
Our government is not responsible for protecting the health and safety of the African people.
So ignore OUR people to help theirs. Why is Africa unable to care for their own? Because they can depend on others. We are already caring for millions of illegal aliens on our soil.
I lived in Asheville 8 years, and know friends severely impacted by Helene. I also spent 11 years in Africa, and that $1 billion dollars will 99% go to yachts in the Mediterranean, 2nd/3rd/4th homes in Europe or Cape Town, and luxury cars for the worthless offspring of the African elite.
I try to not hate Joe Biden, but he makes it harder every day.
More money we don’t have … it seems the pedophile is well determined to destroy as much as possible on the way out.
He can promise, but I don’t think it’s going to be delivered.
Seriously, what part of “lame duck” does this retard not understand?
I’m beginning to agree with the commenter elsewhere who claimed that Biden has gone full Accelerationist. He just wants to watch it all burn down before he dies. He’d better hope his pals in the Swamp don’t disapprove sufficiently to dose his USSS detail.
So, everyone knows Joe jets off to Africa to avoid answering questions about pardoning his son. This man is a liar and a coward. The sad part of his speech is he flies 7,000 miles across the world to tell impoverished Indigenous people he is giving them $1 billion when the US doesn’t have the discretionary funds to give and it is no longer appropriate for him to promise something that will burden the incoming administration. Sorry, but this liar’s nonsense has to stop..
Hopefully that promise is coming out the Big Guy/FJB 10% cut/fund that he has been fleecing this country for the last 50 yrs.
I for one greatly look forward to the day when this horrible man is out of the limelight. Just think… He’s been the freshly ki11ed skunk in the middle of the road for the past half a century.
The vile Dhimmi-crats’ “America Last” agenda and ethos are simply callous, profligate and indefensible.
These pukes reveal their true colors with their last-minute fiscal antics, like houseguests stealing silverware on their way out the door.
Or the Clintons when they vacated 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
The Dhimmi-crats are all crooks and criminals. Greedy, entitled and self-serving hustlers and thieves, to their rotten cores.
Recall that the vile Obamas put Michelle’s mom on the White House staff payroll as a salaried employee, because she was supposedly taking care of their kids. Just another way to funnel some filthy lucre into their avaricious pockets, courtesy of the taxpayers.
No, they didn’t.
Downvoting an objective fact won’t change it. Mrs Robinson was never on the government payroll. She lived in the White House as a member of the 0bama family, and acted as a normal grandmother, at no cost to the taxpayer.
How about spending that money on the US citizens who need it?
The “wealthiest nation?” Try, the “most indebted nation.” That would be more accurate, from an accounting standpoint.
When they add up the wealth of a nation, they don’t count money. It’s factories, roads, etc. Who owns them doesn’t matter.
Oh, thank you for your two cents.
Actually, GDP is the standard measure of a nation’s wealth.
My point, which went over your head, is that from an objective accounting and balance sheet perspective, any nation that is in hock ~$35 million cannot fairly be considered to be “wealthy.”
Get back to me when you understand Accounting/Balance Sheet 101.
Beat me to it. A country that is $36 trillion in debt, is NOT a rich country.
And I’m sure the dems et al will trigger the Greater Depression just in time for Trump to take office.
I hate that they’ve made me so cynical.
The ineptitude of the federal bureaucracy in dealing with the basics of recovery is really highlighting the need for severe reforms. Funds are available but it appears that no-one is interested in seeking/granting exceptions to policy authorization to meet the needs of folks impacted.
It isn’t a difficult proposition to get these folks temp trailers on site at their own properties nor to get them connected to utilities. It does take bureaucracy able to think outside the constraints of SOP and the willingness to act. IMO, the disaster continues b/c none of these bureaucrats with any authority care about the people and only care if the boxes are checked in their SOP.
I think we both know at the delay in helping people was due to a calculation that less of them would vote. And since that’s mostly Trump country the communists thought that was a good plan
Initially? Perhaps, Heck probably. Since the election? We are four weeks beyond election day so any current delay is likely due more to incompetence and bureaucratic lack of action than pure malice though I wouldn’t rule out some warped sense of punishment as icing on top.
FEMA bureaucrats still have a lot of “thank you goodbyes” to say to Trump voters.
And now that Dems have lost, are they are trying to destroy these people? It sounds to me like criminal prosecution is in order.
Some of that money will go to African illegal alien invaders in North Carolina that Traitor Joe brought in. He might even divert some of it to his Haitians around America. Jean-Cringe Pierre might even get a few bucks from it.
How about some help for our fellow African American citizens who were displaced by the unnatural disaster of his presidency?
Why just then?
“Biden Promises $1 Billion to Help Africans Displaced by Natural Disasters”
Why?
“As people still suffer from Hurricane Helene and Milton, President Joe Biden announced the U.S. will give $1 billion to African nations to help those displaced by natural disasters.”
To everyone shocked by Biden’s misplaced priorities, please take solace in this knowledge: The $1 billion in aid to African nations will be spent just as bureaucratically, corruptly, inefficiently and ineffectively as the federal aid going to western North Carolina; possibly even more so.
The USA has massive debt and the House has to create any spending bills so I do not think Joe knows what he is saying.
Just like the homeless and the wounded vets, the federal government totally ignores both. Now they are part of the left’s no-go zone just like CNN and NC. None of the leftist networks cover the misery in NC. I also just saw a piece on Social Security and its shortcomings. That means that Trump is about to enter the WH. Homeless, vets, SS, and Medicare will now be talked about every day because it will be Trump’s fault. For the entire Biden four years not one network has mentioned any of these issues.
Count on it. All the lingering structural problems will suddenly reappear in ‘news’ articles after being hidden away during the Biden Presidency and laid at Trump’s feet to solve. Many in the MAGA movement are likely to be upset by the solutions proposed, particularly for SSA and healthcare.
So he wants to spend a billion to move those “displaced Africans” to the US?
Africa is a lost cause, we have flushed far too much money on them.
We know it’s the Democrats fault, but Trump could do a lot by readdressing this again and again and agin
“A woman and her 81 year old mother living in a Quality Inn for 2 months in #WNC say they “cannot get a hold of anyone from FEMA.”
Well, your call is important to us, you can keep your doctor, and Joe will never pardon Hunter.
“he “provided FEMA with a list of 60 sites that needed housing, but got no response.” As of today, FEMA has delivered one unit.”
The worse news was that the delivery was actually from DOT, not FEMA, and nobody in town has an EV that needs charging.
“Look, I don’t have a car and I can’t live in a hotel 40 miles away from work and the home I need to start fixing”
You stupid hillbilly, just work from your hot tub at home, like we do at FEMA!
Financial aid (government or NGO) to foreign countries is a mixed blessing at best. All too often the aid is used to impose ideas and policies that are destructive to non-Western cultures. It is a form of colonialism, and for that reason a growing number of African leaders want nothing to do with Western aid.
Target Africa: Ideological Neocolonialism in the Twenty-First Century by Obianuju Ekeocha does a good job of how aid can corrupt the leadership and institutions of African countries and leave Africans worse off.
https://ignatius.com/target-africa-tafp/
I have seen personal examples of what the author was talking about in my wife’s home country of Tanzania. On the whole Africa would probably be better off without Western aid.
1. The $1 Billion that Biden is promising is not going to help anyone affected by a natural disaster. It will be going straight into the pockets of the warlords and politicians who continue to profit from our foreign aid.
2. This is giving Tuesday. Please consider making a gift to help those in North Carolina/Georgia/Florida through Samaritan’s Purse or another worthy charity.
From Maui to East Palestine, NOTHING for Americans.
But plenty for foreign funds that can easily wash money to distribute amongst the elites.
FJB. Fuck this entire system. If Trump cannot or will not fix it, nobody will.
The ballot box wasn’t enough.
It will be interesting to see if Alan Dershowitz is correct. Let the Back Firing commence

US foreign aid is nothing more than an excuse for “money laundering”, “skimming” and “kickbacks” for corrupt US politicians and bureaucrats … Of which the “biden organization” are poster children (not that obama, clintons, schumer, mcconnell, pelosi, reid, et al (current and past members of executive and congress). … I hope the “promise” is hollow, i.e., it can be rescinded by President Trump.
Separately, it appears from my basic search that the “National Museum of Slavery in Angola” is focused on the Portuguese and transport of enslaved Africans to the “new world”; generously overlooking the millennia of slavery in Africa, i.e., Africans enslaving other Africans. … And, were / are not “conflict diamonds” mined by enslaved African children and adults ?
As a NC resident, I thank you for this article and keeping the plight of these people in the news. I am irate at the pathetic response of the current administration, and much of mainstream media, to this disaster. Just go on YouTube to see many more videos like those above. It’s heartbreaking.
Thankfully, there are many organizations (ie Samaritans Purse, Cajun Navy, etc.) and regular people pitching in to help. That has been heartwarming to see.
Please continue to feature the area, and please, please donate what you can! These people can’t wait until Jan. 20 for help, as winter is here. It’s below freezing there with snow.
Hunter got paid?
When FEMA moves people to a far away hotel for months so they lose their job, they are getting exactly what the Democrats want – people totally dependent on them for food, housing, and survival.
