Biden-Harris' Katrina Moment Is Here

Regarding natural disasters, the Biden-Harris duo is one for the record books in either incompetence or gross indifference. Whenever disaster strikes, you can always count on these two not to be with it regarding some response. With Hurricane Helene, the Biden administration’s "Katrina" moment has arrived, and what an ugly picture it is. 

Like the incompetents that they are, this administration is committing fouls that an actual media establishment would have excoriated them for, and rightfully so. Alas, Biden-Harris find themselves engulfed in an oasis of calm because they know the press won’t attack them, even if they are doing nothing to help the flood-ravaged residents of North Carolina, Tennessee, and elsewhere, many of which won’t have access to water or electricity for weeks. Donald Trump is on the ground, whereas Biden is taking naps, and Kamala is doing fake photo ops with FEMA officials. 

It was bad enough that they staged this photo, showing a blank sheet of paper and headphones not plugged into her phone to show she can rise to the occasion. She can’t—we all know it. Biden made some phone calls and then conked out. He claims he can’t visit the area due to logistics, which might be true. It’s more likely that he’ll short-circuit on live television. The debris could pave the way for a fall, which would embarrass this presidency, rife with weakness, even more. 

In the meantime, we have relief centers at capacity and running out of provisions. Most of the towns will likely have to be supplied through helicopters, which will take a lot of work, something that Joe or Kamala aren’t familiar with—they’re used to releasing a statement, making a speech, and then running away. The severe limitations of both clowns will be on full display as we enter the final weeks of the election. How can Kamala rise to the occasion? For now, it’s been an abject failure. And yet, Democrats want another four years of this mayhem.

When a toxic train derailment occurred in East Palestine, Ohio, it took weeks for someone from the administration to survey the damage. In what became a token visit, Pete Buttigieg arrived, decked out in his Brooks Brothers disaster gear. Biden has never been to East Palestine, which is hardcore Trump country. Was it political? It looked that way until Maui saw the worst wildfire in a century, which killed over 100 people. Blue State Hawaii also got a taste of Biden and Harris’ blasé attitude toward crisis management. And now, in the final curtain call, they’re blowing this response to Helene. You need to meet with the people, and yes, take questions from the media. This is the job, you idiots.

When disaster strikes, Biden and Kamala opt to do nothing, which is the hallmark characteristic of this ineffective, weak, and wholly dysfunctional administration.
