FEMA’s “disaster equity” focus means LGBTQ people get rescued while others are ignored

When Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) does not have the funds that it needs to get through the hurricane season in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, many Americans were outraged. The fact that the agency ended up in a position where it cannot support American taxpayers because it spent hundreds of millions of dollars on illegal aliens is bad enough, but now we are learning that the help they do provide is dispensed according to woke guidelines rather than need.

A virtual meeting held by the agency has recently come to light in which FEMA Emergency Management Specialist Tyler Atkins announced that the agency was prioritizing individuals who consider themselves LGBTQ because he says they are “already disadvantaged.”

He said: “They already have their own things to deal with. So you add a disaster on top of that, it’s just compounding on itself.”

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Senior Emergency Management Specialist Maggie Jarry then took over the conversation, saying that instead of helping as many people as they can, FEMA should follow a policy of “disaster equity” that sees minority communities being given the priority.

“The shift that we’re seeing right now is a shift in emergency management from utilitarian principles — where everything is designed for the greatest good, for the greatest amount of people — to disaster equity,” she said.

These aren’t just suggestions; FEMA’s own website states that “Goal 1” is to “Instill Equity as a Foundation of Emergency Management.”

It’s hard to believe that an agency that is tasked with helping Americans in emergency situations is more concerned about helping those who make certain lifestyle choices than those who are dealing with devastating losses and deadly hurricane floodwaters.

This should serve as a wakeup call to all white American men to make sure they are prepared for whatever natural disasters might come their way. Not only is FEMA running out of money, but they are the last group of people the agency would help anyway.

Biden-Harris administration finds money for everyone except Americans

Meanwhile, vice president and presidential hopeful Kamala Harris has bragged on X that the U.S. is sending $157 million to help Lebanese people who are suffering from a war that the Biden-Harris administration is supporting.

Her post states: “I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there.”

It gets worse: “To that end, the United States will provide nearly $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon for essential needs such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict. This additional support brings total U.S. assistance to Lebanon over the last year to over $385 million.”

She seems a lot more concerned about the “security and well being” of foreigners than Americans given the hundreds of millions of dollars they managed to find for the Lebanese people and illegal aliens while offering a measly $750 to hurricane victims in the U.S. We all know how far that is going to get them in the era of Bidenflation.

The death toll from the hurricane stands at 227 people as of writing, with countless others still without electricity and dealing with crippling flooding in North Carolina. With another hurricane, Milton, having just made landfall in Florida last week as a Category 3 storm, those affected will have to help each other because it’s clear the government is not going to help them.
