Rumor: FEMA does not have enough money to provide disaster assistance for Helene. Fact: This is false. FEMA has enough money for immediate response and recovery needs. If you were affected by Helene, do not hesitate to apply for disaster assistance as there is a variety of help available for different needs. FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund has enough funding to support Hurricane Helene efforts and FEMA has what it needs for immediate response and recovery efforts. As FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell has said, she has the full authority to spend against the President’s budget, but we’re not out of hurricane season yet so we need to keep a close eye on it.

You should be watching "fair and balanced" Fox News. There’s no such thing as an unbiased news source. It’s nearly impossible for human beings to be completely unbiased. Therefore, it’s the audience’s responsibility to use multiple news outlets and read their viewpoints before making a judgment call.

Stop watching Fox News. "US Senate candidate spreads false claims about migrant aid. CLAIM: The federal government gives people who enter the U.S. illegally a cell phone, a domestic plane ticket to a location of their choosing and a $5,000 Visa gift card. AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. People who enter the U.S. illegally do not receive such assistance from the federal government, immigration experts told The Associated Press. Immigration and Customs Enforcement gives some immigrants phones, but they can only access a monitoring app called SmartLink. Those who cross the border illegally do not receive gift cards. And although limited federal aid can help get migrants where they intend to go, they typically must choose from a set list of destinations and are usually transported by bus, not planes." AP News "Most immigrants living illegally in the U.S. are not eligible for benefits from federal programs, because the programs require Social Security numbers.

Trump FEMA Claim Debunked: Agency Not Running Out Of Money Because Of Migrants Former President Donald Trump and his allies have claimed the Federal Emergency Management Agency can’t respond well enough to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene because it’s diverted so much money to helping migrants—but that’s not true, as FEMA’s funds for handling disaster relief efforts are separate from money given to immigrant communities. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas did say Tuesday that FEMA’s disaster relief efforts are facing a dire cash crunch, warning that while the agency is “meeting the immediate needs” of Hurricane Helene recovery “with the money that we have,” it “does not have the funds to make it through the [hurricane] season. Congress determines how much money goes to FEMA’s disaster fund, and the fund faces issues after lawmakers declined to allocate additional funding for FEMA’s efforts in the stopgap funding bill it passed last month, only extending FEMA’s existing funding level and allowing it to draw from $20 billion in funds more quickly.” Forbes Rumor: FEMA does not have enough money to provide disaster assistance for Helene. Fact: This is false. FEMA has enough money for immediate response and recovery needs. If you were affected by Helene, do not hesitate to apply for disaster assistance as there is a variety of help available for different needs.

The Faux News email scandal was absolutely delightful. You should be disappointed with Faux News and disillusioned with the Mango Mussolini. Fox News has been proven to be a propaganda network that lied to its gullible audience, according to the testimony of Rupert Murdoch. The well informed viewers of Fox News were treated to a steady stream of news from anchors who knew that the exact opposite of what they were reporting was the truth.

@stevebyrd-k9v Trump economic policy decisions (tariffs and tax cuts) contributed to inflation. "While the effects of a very large tax overhaul will take years to fully develop and analyze, the evidence from the first two years suggests that corporate tax cuts are draining revenue from the U.S. Treasury while doing little that would ultimately benefit U.S. workers. Instead of trickling down to workers, the 2017 tax cuts have largely served to line the pockets of already wealthy investors—further increasing inequality—with little to show for it. Donald Trump’s tariffs and the trade war his administration launched against China turned out to be far more damaging than many believed. Consumers and the U.S. economy paid a heavy price for the Trump administration’s protectionist trade policies. Most of Donald Trump’s political appeal rested on being a businessman (as portrayed on The Apprentice) and his perceived stewardship of the U.S. economy. The latest research illustrates the negative impact of his trade policy, leading one to conclude that to the extent a president manages the economy, Donald Trump managed it poorly." Forbes

@stevebyrd-k9v "Back to the Future: Trump’s History of Promising a Health Plan That Never Comes. Ever since he was a presidential candidate, President Donald Trump has been promising the American people a “terrific,” “phenomenal” and “fantastic” new health care plan to replace the Affordable Care Act. But, in the 3½ years since he set up shop in the Oval Office, he has yet to deliver. Even Trump admitted that the challenge of transforming health care was bigger than he had imagined, saying in late February, “Nobody knew that health care could be so complicated." PolitiFact

@stevebyrd-k9v "The Trump border wall failed for all the predictable reasons. Immigrants used cheap ladders to climb over it, or they free climb it. They used cheap power tools to cut through it. They cut through small pieces and squeezed through, and they cut through big sections and drove through. In one small section in 2020, they sawed through at least 18 times that Border Patrol knew about in a month. They also made tunnels. Some tunnels were long, including the longest one ever discovered, but some were short enough just to get past the barrier." The Cato Institute

@stevebyrd-k9v "President Trump entered the White House with the goal of reducing legal immigration by 63 percent. Trump was successful in reducing legal immigration. By November 2020, the Trump administration reduced the number of green cards issued to people abroad by 418,453 and the number of non‐immigrant visas by 11,178,668. President Trump also entered the White House with the goal of eliminating illegal immigration but Trump oversaw a virtual collapse in interior immigration enforcement and the stabilization of the illegal immigrant population. Thus, Trump succeeded in reduce legal immigration and failed to eliminate illegal immigration." Cato Institute

"Republicans Admit They Have No Incriminating Evidence on Joe Biden. Republicans’ big investigation into the Biden family has revealed … not a lot. The House GOP accused Joe Biden and his family on Wednesday of engaging in business with foreign entities—but were unable to provide any actual evidence linking the president to any wrongdoing. James Comer released a 65-page memo detailing a sprawling investigation into Biden and some of his relatives, particularly his son Hunter Biden. Nowhere in the massive document was there a specific allegation of a crime committed by Biden or any of his relatives. During a press conference explaining the investigation, Comer was asked if he had evidence directly linking Biden to corruption. The Kentucky Republican hemmed and hawed but ultimately admitted he didn’t." New Republic

"Trump's financial ties to China have been widely scrutinized for years, with reports showing the former president maintaining a bank account in China and the Chinese government granting trademarks to companies linked to him and his daughter Ivanka. Trump has denied making money from China, but records show that the Trump Organization received at least $5.4 million from the Chinese-owned Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. There is no evidence that Joe Biden received large sums of money from China or has otherwise gained wealth as a result of his son's business dealings abroad. Trump has previously made the "billion-five" accusation against Hunter Biden. While a conservative author has used this figure, it has not been proven. A lawyer for Hunter Biden, George Mesires, says the investment company in which Hunter Biden has an equity stake was capitalized with a total of about $4.2 million at today's exchange rates, "not $1.5 billion." Even this investment was not a direct payment to Hunter Biden; Hunter Biden holds a 10% stake in the firm, Mesires says, and has not made a profit to date." Reuters

Inflation is happening everywhere. There are several reasons for inflation, including the pandemic and the wars in Russia and Gaza. Trump economic policy decisions (tariffs and tax cuts) contributed to inflation.

"Marjorie Taylor Greene compares Biden to FDR, LBJ. Thanks for the free campaign ad! The predominantly ludicrous lawmaker from Georgia did Biden an unexpected – and surely unplanned – solid this weekend in a speech at the conservative Turning Point Action conference in Florida, telling Republicans the Democratic president is attempting to make people’s lives better. She compared Biden’s "Build Back Better" plan to President Lyndon B. Johnson’s "Great Society," an array of programs from the mid-1960s aimed at combating poverty in America. Those programs included Medicare, Medicaid and food stamps, along with the 1964 Civil Rights Act. As Greene talked about President Johnson, she said, dismissively: “His BIG socialist programs were the Great Society ... big government programs to address education, medical care, urban problems, rural poverty, transportation, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and welfare.” Greene continued making the case for Biden’s reelection: “Now LBJ had the Great Society, but Joe Biden had Build Back Better, and he still is working on it, the largest public investment in social infrastructure and environmental programs that is actually finishing what FDR started, that LBJ expanded on, and Joe Biden is attempting to complete.” As if connecting Biden to popular social programs wasn’t enough, Greene took the high praise a step further by looping in President Franklin D. Roosevelt, one of the most popular presidents in American history. Greene’s attempt to raise Biden’s profile to that of FDR and the president who launched a war on poverty and created Medicare was clearly appreciated. On Monday morning, the official White House Twitter account retweeted the video of Greene's speech, adding: "Caught us. President Biden is working to make life easier for hardworking families."

People who enter the U.S. illegally do not receive such assistance from the federal government, immigration experts told The Associated Press. Immigration and Customs Enforcement gives some immigrants phones, but they can only access a monitoring app called SmartLink. Those who cross the border illegally do not receive gift cards. And although limited federal aid can help get migrants where they intend to go, they typically must choose from a set list of destinations and are usually transported by bus, not planes." AP News "Most immigrants living illegally in the U.S. are not eligible for benefits from federal programs, because the programs require Social Security numbers. Immigrants in the U.S. illegally are typically ineligible for federal Department of Housing and Urban Development housing programs." PolitiFact

Trump downplayed the pandemic and promoted ridiculous treatments. Over one million Americans died as a result. Trump changed his tune when he realized that his gullible unvaccinated followers were dying from COVID-19. By that time, it was too late to right the ship. "The vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind,” Trump said. “I came up with a vaccine — with three vaccines — all are very, very good … in less than nine months. It was supposed to take five to 12 years.” “And if you take the vaccine, you’re protected," Trump went on. "The results of the vaccine are very good. And if you do get it, it’s a very minor form. People aren’t dying when they take their vaccine. The vaccine worked, but some people aren’t taking it,” he said. “The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones who don’t take their vaccine.”
