$750 bucks. If your home was washed away by Hurricane Helene, your belongings gone, your access to food, shelter, clean water, and basic necessities totally cut off, and your neighborhood left in total shambles, that’s what you’ll get from the federal government.
You read that right - $750 bucks.
That’s the amount Vice President Kamala Harris announced Wednesday during her first stop in storm-ravaged Georgia.
Kamala Harris is in Georgia to announce that FEMA will be providing federal relief in the form of $750 to those affected by Hurricane Helene. Generous.

“The federal relief and assistance we have been providing has included FEMA providing $750 for folks who need immediate needs being met such as food baby formula and the like,” Harris said, noting that people can “apply now” for the money.
People with no cell service or internet access, whose electronic devices are now sitting at the bottom of a river or stuck in some tree 14 miles away.
To remind, this fiscal year alone, FEMA allocated $650 million in “shelter and services” aid to illegal aliens who’ve come across the border unlawfully with no way to support themselves. That’s on top of the $364 million the agency shucked over for the same assistance in FY2023 - totaling almost $1 billion in all.

The Biden administration also announced last week another $2.4 billion - BILLION - in support for Ukraine.
But now that the southeast United States is floating in a sea of mud and debris from a storm that killed at least 160 people and leaving hundreds more still missing and millions displaced or facing massive rebuilding projects, FEMA says they might not have enough money to last through hurricane season.
“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Wednesday. “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”
Perhaps if this administration weren’t so busy shoveling taxpayer cash to illegal aliens and criminals, we’d have a few bucks left over to help disaster victims - you know, the people who’ve actually been paying into the system all along. Until then, I guess all those hicks will just have to settle for whatever change Biden can dig out of the White House couch cushions. It’s not like the left ever cared much about them, anyway.
