“I don’t know that anybody could be fully prepared for the amount of flooding and landslides that they are experiencing right now,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell protested to CBS News.
The ravages of Hurricane Helene had left parts of Asheville, North Carolina underwater, but it wasn’t just the homes and roads that were underwater, but FEMA’s botched response..
Criswell, who had been appointed to head FEMA by the Biden-Harris administration as a reward for coordinating New York City’s horrendously botched response to the pandemic, posed in a starched FEMA blouse and gold necklace on a morning show even as private volunteers were once again having to step in because the Federal Emergency Management Agency had failed.
FEMA was unprepared for the flooding because under Criswell, a DEI hire whose resume included being “the first woman commissioner of New York City Emergency Management”, the agency had shifted from disaster management to DEI disasters.
Goal 1 of FEMA’s Strategic Plan was to “instill equity as a foundation of emergency management”. FEMA’s Objective 1.1 was also not disaster management, it’s to “cultivate a FEMA that prioritizes and harnesses a diverse workforce”. FEMA’s leadership was required to make its priority “integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion in delivering the agency’s mission.”
Leading the way in implementing FEMA’s new ideological disaster management was Vice President Kamala Harris who claimed that she had started one of the “first environmental justice units of any DA’s office” when she helped turn San Francisco into a crime zone, and claimed that it’s “communities of color that are most impacted by” weather and natural disasters.
Kamala then argued that “we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity” so that minorities would be first in line for aid regardless of who has the greater need.
FEMA kicked off hurricane season in 2022 with a preparedness campaign contending that black people were more vulnerable to hurricanes because, according to FEMA Deputy Administrator Erik Hooks, “black communities are on the frontlines of climate change.”
Hooks, another Biden-Harris nominee, had been appointed deputy administrator despite only five years of experience in emergency management, in order to “infuse equity across our agency” described the campaign prioritizing black people for natural disasters as reaffirming “our commitment to equity”. But FEMA’s commitment to equity was getting people killed.
“Black and African American communities often suffer disproportionate impacts from disasters. This is something that we must work to change and that starts with how we prepare,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell argued.
A few weeks later, Hurricane Ian became the third most expensive weather disaster and claimed over 150 lives. Most of the dead were white senior citizens. Elderly people living near the coast were the ones actually most at risk. FEMA had sacrificed their lives for equity.
Instead of atoning for the lives lost, Administrator Criswell doubled down by signing an agreement with the NAACP, a Biden-Harris administration ally, and assured illegal aliens that they could apply for taxpayer-funded aid. FEMA directed millions to creating “equitable” fire departments and tried to make sure too many white people weren’t applying for disaster aid.
During the devastating fires in Hawaii last year, FEMA was busy running DEI training which falsely claimed white supremacy is “ingrained in nearly every system and institution in the U.S” as part of ‘Goal 1’ and its mandate to make “equity a foundation of emergency management.
The introduction to FEMA’s Building Alliances for Equitable Resilience by Chauncia Willis, a former wellness and diversity coach, urges disaster officials to reach out to “LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, Black Lives Matter chapters”.
The DEI bureaucracy at FEMA had fundamentally tainted its risk calculations. As Freedom Center Investigates revealed in a 2022 investigation, the agency’s National Risk Index had baked in a “social vulnerability” component based on the percentage of minority groups.
A town that is 40% black, 33% Hispanic and 12% Asian is calculated by FEMA as being more at risk than a town that is made up of 23% Italian-Americans, 44% Irish, 9% Jews and 18% Swedish-Americans. Two towns with the same risk level, but different racial numbers will put the minority town ahead of the non-minority one when it comes to aid to prepare for a disaster.
Asheville, North Carolina, which has an 84% white population and only 4.5% black population, was doomed to be considered lower risk than similar black or minority areas because of the systemically racist algorithms being employed by federal bureaucrats at FEMA.
Administrator Criswell told the media that FEMA couldn’t have been prepared for the historic flooding in North Carolina, but the area has a history of floods going back two centuries. The Great Flood of 1916 had killed 80 people and flooded the area with more rain than ever before. Had FEMA studied the history of floods, instead of the history of race, it might have been ready.
But the Biden-Harris administration had illegally mandated racial discrimination across every federal agency with its ‘equity’ executive orders.
The dead in North Carolina are just more of the victims of the systemic racism of equity.
FEMA’s failures in Hurricane Helene were not an accident. They were the inevitable outcome of prioritizing ideology over mission, quotas over merit, and race over need. A DEI leadership dedicated to enacting DEI has ineptly presided over another natural disaster. From East Palestine to Ashevillle, the Biden-Harris administration has allowed innocent people to suffer and die because the racist ideology of equity values some lives less depending on their race.
The foundation of disaster management can either be racial equity or disaster response.
FEMA Administrator Criswell, Deputy Administrator Hooks, and FEMA’s DEI bureaucracy have demonstrated that it cannot be both because there’s no room for DEI when people are dying.

Dark days ahead folks. Prepare.
Darker days than you think. Search “weather warfare” with “LBJ;” & Operation Popeye in Vietnam. See the “real-time map of [56K] Starlink satellites orbiting Earth;” &, finally, when you hear Musk is sending satellites to Helene-damaged areas, search “SpaceX’s Starlink successes secure US military contract for custom satellites:”
The “custom satellites” Musk built, with our $149M through the Space Development Agency (SDA), were for the US Dept of Defense (DoD).
Musk’s satellites will soon provide worldwide cell phone coverage and he is providing it for free to Asheville residents and the other flooded cities.
Seems like DOD money well spent, to me. unlike most of the 25 trillion the feds wasted mostly on the moneyed interests they collude with and hasn’t benefited the public at all.
How much benefit did you get from that 25 trillion? I got none at all.
The millions of taxpayers money never gets to the alleged victims of climate change, it goes into the pockets of the establishment cronies.
That’s why the climate change scam exists. It certainly isn’t science because it is nothing but a proliferating number of computer climate models—making it an unproven theory, not fact! The very proliferation of models in the face of a supposed consensus on climate change gives the lie to these fraudulent claims.
That and Jr high level chemistry, physics and history, not to mention thermometers.
DEI Incompetents: How to ruin an organization.
reminiscent of the Secret Service’s incompetence.
Flaming incompetence. The shooter was spotted long before he took his shots and Trump wasn’t evacuated. The drone controller was on the phone with the manufacturer because he didn’t know how to fix a minor glitch. He’d only had one hour of informal training. One of the SS detail was a DEI broad who looked about five feet tall. It’s impossible for her to block a bullet aimed at a guy who’s six three or hustle/muscle him off the stage.
It was local police who rushed the roof were the would be assassin was perched. The head of the SS detail saw them and thought: “That’s peculiar. I wonder where they’re going?”
The DEI female head of the SS “resigned” and the guy who replaced her is good for nothing but lame attempts at excuses and petty evasions.
Dan Bongino thinks the SS isn’t just incompetently led but something sinister is going on, and he used to be an agent.
I’d say Heels Up Harris is a DEI candidate but she got were she is the old fashioned way, on her knees and back.
When she was appointed DA of Frisco, she’d reached her Peter Principle level. The fact that she went on to be the AG of CA, then the fake VP of a fake President and is now running for President disproves the Peter Principle, I reckon.
Too bad. Peter had a cute principle but like so many of them it’s wrong. I notice that of most people who try to dispense wisdom, much less come up with fake principles and “laws.”
Sir Isaac Newton excepted, of course.
Once Trump is elected this will be yet another agency to be worked over.
Sure. And as soon as someone in authority called out Criswell, told her at the top of their lungs that she was a worthless c*nt piece of sh*t that should die in a fire and threatened the lives of every one of her employees that believed in DEI or thought that “feelings” belonged within a mile of any position of responsibility, what would happen?
These “nice, kind, suburban moms” would come to her defense because “you can’t say things like that!”. They would vote for someone who they think “cares about them” because they don’t say mean things.
Fck these suburban moderates. They could all drown in the next hurricane and the country would be better off.
Only hard men, and people who are willing to support hard men, are of any use in tough times
When the folks in the mountains get footing. They will be coming down armed to clean out every DEI person there. Sorry but they only way out of this mess will be the Wild Wild West or CW2.
I have to speak up here. There are many women who are made of the right stuff and will support saner tactics.. We know when we have to draw the line and in fact we tend to ignore those little wimpie girls. They are in a dream world, whining.
They ALL need to be worked over. The first step will be to fire all their heads and appoint people capable of doing the job and aren’t D-Bag operatives.
Oh, dear. And here was me thinking that “the rain falter on the just and the unjust”. Well, that’s what I get for thinking the the Democrats might enforce the law and administer their programs equally, regardless of race, gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or disability … yada, yada, yada.
These people are here to enslave us; all of us … if they don’t kill us first.
“Your Father which is in heaven: … maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”
______Matthew 5:45
Those hill folks are God fearing patriots. They did not deserve this. Now DC needs that cleaning. His aim sucks.
“the rain falleth on the just and the unjust”.
Without articles like this we could not begin to realize the true depths of the filth leftist ideology has created nor understand the life toll of leftists’ murderous nature.
If it was Trump handling the recovery as badly as the Dems are doing it, the media would be all over Trump. Instead the MSM is covering for Biden and his DEI incompetents.
Biden also says he doesn’t believe in Taft-Hartley to end the dock strike. Perfect.
Fortunately for Trump the hurricane lack-o-recovery and the longshoreman’s dock strike are coming at the perfect time re: the election.
Uh, I’m not being harsh, am I? Well, too bad.
The longshoreman’s union sure chose the perfect time to strike, didn’t they? Pricks. I hate people with high paying jobs with full benefits who go on strike. I saw the head of the union on TV boasting about how much America needs longshoremen, which we do, but his sense of entitlement made me want to sock him up.
Butt-Kiss Biden definitely sucks up to any union but it’s funny that he read off Taft-Hartley. He doesn’t even know what that is. If it isn’t an ice cream cone or jello cup it’s all a mystery to that demented dolt. He can’t even put on his own diapers by himself.
Brings a new meaning to the phrase, “You’re doing a heck of a job, Brownie!”
We must realize that with that DEI fallacy, the federal government has been rendered unable to ensure our security, whether at home or abroad; secret service, homeland security, CIA, FBI all have been infected. We are left to depend on our State government alone.
My state government is CA, so we’re screwed here.
DEI = Didn’t Earn It – Is Buttedge still on maternity leave? WTF do we have – demonics
Amazing CBS aired this:
Evangelical influencer Lance Wallnau on “The Takeout” | Sept. 8, 2024
Lance talks about demonics on CBS and they still aired this.
Evangelical influencer Lance Wallnau joins “The Takeout” to discuss his efforts to mobilize Christians in support of former President Donald Trump candidacy. Wallnau likens Trump to the biblical character Cyrus, believing he was chosen by God to lead the U.S. Religious scholar
Petey Buttgig is helping Deamned Criswell pose in front of cameras and make lying excuses. Just what you’d expect from this anti-American administration.
And I notice Crustwell is a WHITE woman. Time to DEI her out of office.
Oh, Yeah. Wallnau has a show every Saturday at 9 am Pacific time on Real America’s Voice entitled “Firewall with Lance Wallnau.”
There are a lot of ways to watch RAV for free. You can watch it on the website, use ROKU or on a Samsung TV (second best investment I have right now.) You can even download the app on your phone for free.
The entirety of our federal Leviathan is submerged in evil and ineptitude. The administrative state is as bad as Wilson dreamed.
