You and I are enmeshed in the worst healthcare in the developed world, and the MAGAt Republicans are making it clear that if they get majorities in Congress they will get rid of Obamacare. If you vote Republican for any Congressional candidate you are condemning yourself and your family to healthcare that is worse than some developing countries. It has gotten so bad that we already have what researchers are calling “medical deserts,” regions in the U.S. that have little or no medical care available.

Traitor Trump is lying at a level of evilness never before seen in American history. He is claiming that Biden and the Democrats are sending FEMA money to immigrant murderers instead of sending it to the states damaged by hurricane Helene. And he is just one of the many MAGAt Republicans lying at a level of evil fantasy I have never seen before. Here is reality, showing Trump did, indeed, attempt to stop aid from going to Democratic areas damaged by climate events.

Hurricane Helene: Rumor Response

Rumor: FEMA distributes aid based on demographic characteristics.
Fact:
FEMA provides assistance to survivors regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, English proficiency or economic status.

Rumor: FEMA is in the process of confiscating Helene survivor property. If I apply for disaster assistance and my land is deemed unlivable, my property will be seized.
Fact:
FEMA cannot seize your property or land. Applying for disaster assistance does not grant FEMA or the federal government authority or ownership of your property or land. When you apply for disaster assistance a FEMA inspector may be sent to verify the damage on your home. This is one of many factors reviewed to determine what kind of disaster assistance you may be eligible for. If the results of the inspection deem your home uninhabitable, that information is only used to determine the amount of FEMA assistance you may receive to make your home safe, sanitary and functional.

October 4, 2024
Rumor: FEMA is no longer accepting applications for housing assistance.
Fact:
FEMA is still accepting assistance applications throughout areas affected by Helene. For current application timelines, visit disasterassistance.gov. You can also see if applications are being accepted on FEMA’s state specific Helene disaster webpages; Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

October 4, 2024
Rumor: FEMA does not have enough money to provide disaster assistance for Helene.
Fact:
FEMA has enough money right now 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.

October 3, 2024
Rumor: FEMA is asking for cash donations and turning away volunteers.
Fact:
This is false: FEMA does not ask for or generally accept any cash donations or volunteers for disaster response. We do encourage people who want to help to volunteer with or donate cash to reputable voluntary or charitable organizations. After a disaster, cash is often the best way to help as it provides the greatest flexibility for these reputable organizations working on the ground to purchase exactly what is needed.

If you encounter someone claiming to represent FEMA and asking for donations, be careful as that is likely a scam. Government employees will never solicit money.

Rumor: Funding for FEMA disaster response was diverted to support international efforts or border related issues.
Fact:
This is false. No money is being diverted from disaster response needs. FEMA’s disaster response efforts and individual assistance is funded through the Disaster Relief Fund, which is a dedicated fund for disaster efforts. Disaster Relief Fund money has not been diverted to other, non-disaster related efforts.

October 3, 2024
Rumor: FEMA is confiscating donations for survivors.
Fact:
Rumors about FEMA turning away donations, stopping trucks or vehicles with donations, confiscating and seizing supplies often spread after a disaster. These are all false.

FEMA does not take donations and/or food from survivors or voluntary organizations. Donations of food, water, or other goods are handled by voluntary agencies who specialize in storing, sorting, cleaning, and distributing donated items.

FEMA does not conduct vehicle stops or handle road closures with armed guards — those are done by local law enforcement.

October 3, 2024
Rumor: FEMA will only provide $750 to disaster survivors to support their recovery.
Fact:
This is false.

This is a type of assistance that you may be approved for soon after you apply, called Serious Needs Assistance. It is an upfront, flexible payment to help cover essential items like food, water, baby formula, breastfeeding supplies, medication and other emergency supplies. There are other forms of assistance that you may qualify for to receive and Serious Needs Assistance is an initial payment you may receive while FEMA assesses your eligibility for additional funds. As your application continues to be reviewed, you may still receive additional forms of assistance for other needs such as support for temporary housing, personal property and home repair costs. If you have questions about your disaster assistance application and what you qualify for, contact us at 1-800-621-3362 to speak with a FEMA representative in your language.

Yet another report on Russia’s attempt to rig the election outcome in favor of traitor Trump, who Putin knows he can manipulate. If you derive your information about politics from social media you may become a victim of this weaponized misinformation.

Yesterday, you will remember, I did a report on how the Republicans who control the government of Louisiana basically outlawed Mifepristone for the women of that state. But that is just a part of what is going on to supress woman’s rights and let MAGAt Republicans control their body. Thoma Hartmann lays it all out very accurately. If you are a woman who votes for a Republican you should be aware that you are voting to become a handmaiden.

I think there are both conscious and unconscious reasons for the growing depression amongst young people, as reported in this JAMA paper. The consciousn reasons are the trends I cover each day in SR. The unconscious one is the precognition humans all over Earth are experiencing because of the catastrophe climate change is going to produce in human cultures around the world. The only thing that can assuage this feeling is to vote and support only those who are willing to make fostering wellbeing their society’s first priority. In the United States we have just over one month to make our choice. What are you going to choose?
