Note From Dan Newman:
We have published our “Saturday Bullet Points” feature for five years, highlighting the week’s top 10-15 stories. No one can credibly claim that the horrors we’re watching being revealed across the Southeast United States are NOT the most critical stories of this week, and possibly this decade.
As always happens in the United States, when there are horrendous storms, fires, floods, and destruction caused by hurricanes, the American people rise to the challenges and go to work to help others. However, the lack of response from our Federal Government, our President and vice president, and the leaders in FEMA and DHS points to the greatest failure of government in 30-50 years.
Our most often published guest writer, Kelleigh Nelson, contacted me Friday and pleaded for me to forego this week’s “Saturday Bullet Points” and publish her story (below) that reveals much of the insanity of the lack of care, concern, and actions of this administration, and how many private citizens are being turned away by the small smattering of FEMA workers on site in these states that are drowning.
Join us in prayer (and giving) for those who are caught in this situation through no fault of their own.
Our government could do much better.
Our government MUST do better….NOW!
The corruption at the heart of Communist ideology lay in the means. Social justice, greater freedom and equality, an end to exploitation and alienation are noble, humane ends. What compromised them fatally was the inhuman methods employed to achieve them. This was as true of Lenin and Trotsky as of Stalin. Alan Bullock – author
A Maine correspondent told “The First TV” host, Jesse Kelly, that a brand-new apartment building built for Maine residents has been turned over to illegals. The two-bedroom apartments rent for $2300.00 per month. African illegals were given the apartments free of cost and utilities for two years. Should they actually get jobs, they’ll only have to fork over a third of the cost Americans would pay.
Meanwhile, DHS Director Alejandro Mayorkas tells America that FEMA spent $1.4 billion on “migrants,” a euphemistic term for the invited filth from all over the world invading our country, and there’s no more money for American disasters. I’ve been told that DHS has another $20 billion, but they’re refusing to spend it on Americans who are in dire need of food, water, and rescue.
We’ve given $200 billion to Zelensky and his Nazi Azov Battalion soldiers, and we have spent a trillion in housing and feeding the 20 million illegal aliens who have crossed our southern and now northern borders. Still, we don’t have the money to save our own American people. This is a treasonous betrayal by our centralized federal government, which was weaponized over the eight years Obama and his cultural Marxists held office.
If we give each Illegal person $20,000 annually in total benefits and there are “ten Million” of them, the price is, hold onto your sox, two hundred billion dollars ($200,000,000,000) every year. Much of this came from the FEMA coffers. It’s actually probably closer to three hundred billion dollars. So, over the last 3 1/2 years, a ballpark figure of “One Trillion Dollars” has been spent on these third-world leeches, probably more. No wonder FEMA claims it is broke and hasn’t any money for the Hurricane disaster.
Americans are dying while we give our tax dollars to illegal aliens.
Citizens with helicopters have been saving people. When the pilots took people to a local hotel, they were told it was booked with federal employees. And just what are those fed employees doing?
People are trapped, and there is no food or water. Between Knoxville, TN, and Ashville, NC, I-40 collapsed from the water, and the road slid down the mountain. Everything has to get to NC by air or the long way around. I remember seeing convoys of utility trucks heading south on I-40 when there were hurricanes in Florida. I haven’t seen anything like that for this disaster.
It’s a war zone, and the military is not there.
Here is a video of the major flooding in Asheville/Hendersonville the day before Hurricane Helene even hits!
Lake Lure, NC, where the Patrick Swayze movie Dirty Dancing was filmed, is totally gone, and Chimney Rock, NC, is flattened. Newport, TN, has horrific flood damage.
Representative Cory Mills of Florida is already working to get Florida’s Rainy-Day funds to save NC and TN folks. This is what needs to be done across the nation. The people need to contact their governors and tell them to get helicopters, food, water, and rescue folks to these areas now because they are desperate. Every state has a National Guard and helicopters, but no orders have been issued to help save these people.
Thirty-five private helicopter owners are doing their best to save the people and get them food and water. Small-town local contractors have used their equipment to move trees and debris so people could get through. One area needed a bridge, and a contractor showed up with enough timber to make a temporary bridge that would get people through.
Bodies and sewage floating in NC water will create a health hazard crisis. We must get help into these areas. I have contacted several people and asked them to get to conservative media to get this out. I don’t trust Tucker Carlson one iota, he’s establishment. And I’m not hearing him say anything about this tragedy or helping people. A resident talked about the tragedy…and deaths.

Franklin Graham’s organization, Samaritan’s Purse, is doing a lot to help the people. No matter what we think of Billy Graham or Franklin’s comments during Covid, his organization is the only one I’d give to to help our people.
We need Americans to call their governors and tell them to use their rainy-day funds and the National Guard to help our people. The federal government is absolutely worthless. They’re more interested in replacing us with third-world filth and destroying this once-great country. They don’t deign to lift a finger to help these Americans. Why? Because these areas are filled with hardcore conservatives, who don’t vote for communists. By failing these people, they’ve cemented in the minds of Americans that they could care less how many perish.
A Vietnam veteran pilot told me, “Unfortunately, this is deliberate because, as you all know, there are 1.5 million Republicans in this area, and they will determine who takes NC! You have a full Division at Ft. Bragg plus a 130 wing at Pope Army Airfield who are doing nothing! This is criminal!”
Every Army National Guard unit and surrounding states has “dust off” helicopters. Those are Air Medivac helicopters, and there are a bunch of them. They come equipped with hyper EMTs aboard, so they’re not just for transport but can provide immediate medical service.
Please do whatever you can, even if you have to call in favors. We need military helicopters flying into these areas to save the people.
Glenn Beck is in North Carolina
Glenn says he has only seen one FEMA truck since his arrival, and it was “tucked away,” as if it was avoiding the public eye. When he approached the agents in the truck and asked about what they were doing, he was given the following response, “We’re getting [victims] registered so they can sign up for government aid.”
Beck said, “There is no action from the federal government.”
Unfortunately, FEMA isn’t just not showing up; it’s also actively hindering the citizens and private groups who are actually providing aid.
One of Glenn’s sources “is a semi-truck driver who [was] pulled over by FEMA.”
“They took his food off his truck.” That was going to help victims,” Glenn said in disgust.
According to Glenn’s report, FEMA is also trying to shut down the area where private planes and helicopters are landing to bring assistance.
“FEMA is trying to shut down this helo field because the FAA isn’t involved. Screw the FAA! If you had planes down here and you had helicopters yourself and you were rescuing them, then fine, we’d shut this down, but you’re not here!” he says.
As for the devastation, Glenn says, “It is shocking.”
Watch Beck’s important video report:
FEMA
Just like the purposely failing Secret Service, we are now seeing the same thing in DHS Director Mayorkas’ FEMA.
FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell was appointed by Biden/Harris as Director after she botched the response to the New York City Covid pandemic. Daniel Greenfield’s excellent article, FEMA’s DEI Crippled Hurricane Helene Response, tells us that as a DEI hire, Criswell was unprepared for the flooding. Her resume included that she was “the first woman commissioner of New York City Emergency Management.”
FEMA’s leadership was required to make diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) their number one goal. Once again, Obama’s weaponization of the entire federal government ends up with losers at the helm of important agencies. None of the people in the Biden administration are capable of performing their jobs as they should.
Kamala turned San Francisco into a crime zone with her “environmental justice unit” of the District Attorney’s office. She claimed this was the way to give resources based on equity. Well, since most of the areas struck by Hurricane Helene are white, I guess her $750 dollar checks are all she can manage to do. Food, water, and rescuing these Americans before they perish doesn’t fit her “equitable” justice.
Weather Modification
In 1962, Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson said in a speech to Southwest Texas State University, “He who controls the weather, controls the world.”
The federal government has been able to modify weather since the 1940s.
Dane Wigington’s website, GeoengineeringWatch.org, features video footage that provides visual evidence of the interaction between ground-based frequency transmitter installations and Hurricane Helene’s path.

Janet Levy Ross interviewed climate scientist Wigington two years ago. Her article, “Is the Climate Being Engineered?” tells us that Dane Wigington and his researchers believe climate engineering, not human climate change, is destroying the planet.
There are rumors that quartz mines and the richest lithium deposits are in these areas, and the government wants control of all of it. One poster said that government officials told the people they would not get their land back.
One of our former Army Generals has said that the volume of these reports being received may be indicative of truth – also reports of looting and shooting.
States Must Stand Up
We need American citizens to call their state representatives and governors and tell them to use some of their rainy-day funds to help the people devastated by Helene.
Please, America, stand up for our suffering fellow citizens. Get on your phones now.
The actions of this federal government are deadly. Just like Lahaina, Hawaii, East Palestine, Ohio, NW North Carolina, and NE Tennessee, people and animals are dying. We’re on our own. The federal government is most likely guilty of causation and death. There is an obvious purposeful failure to save lives.
FDR told us, “In politics, nothing happens by accident.”
