[FEMA] WASHINGTON (AP) — The rumors surrounding Hurricane Helene are many. There are false claims that people taking federal relief money could see their land seized. Or that $750 is the most they will ever get to rebuild. Or that the agency’s director — on the ground since the storm hit — was beaten up and hospitalized. Link |

[Dirty Politics] The $20K contribution to candidate Hodies was done properly following FL law. The endorsement required a 60% vote per RPOF rules. The contribution funding required a majority vote, not a 60% vote, per REC rules. It’s all in FL law 103.121 paragraphs 2, 3 & 4, RPOF rule 8B (not a law) and REC rule (not a law) for candidate contributions. The state attorney knew or should have known this as he accepted $8K in 2016 and $8K in 2020 using the same RPOF and REC rules. Sending this to the Governor and publicizing it is just a big political smear action by the opponent. |

[Spending on Immigrants] Americans were rightly angered by the announcement by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency “[does] not have the funds” to make it through the hurricane season, particularly in light of the over $600 million it spent on “migrant services” this past fiscal year. In fact, the Shelter and Services Program administered by FEMA in partnership with the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol has spent more than $1 billion on noncitizen migrant resettlement and other services over the past two years, according to FEMA’s website. |
