The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration received an inspector general report prior to Hurricane Helene warning them that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) lost billions of dollars due to bureaucratic mismanagement, leaving the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) in a massive deficit. But the Biden-Harris regime refused to turn the beleaguered agency around, setting up the catastrophe that is playing out in America due to Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
“FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season,” said Alejandro Mayorkas, the head of Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees FEMA, amid a deadly hurricane season that Americans will never be able to forget.
But FEMA head Deanne Criswell was personally addressed a copy of a DHS inspector general report more than a month before Hurricane Helene hit that made it clear FEMA’s own incompetence led to the funding shortage, and that FEMA had a chance to easily get the money back.
The inspector general report said that the billions of dollars in missing money was STILL AVAILABLE to be used by FEMA for disaster relief. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had the chance to save billions of dollars that could have been used for Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton relief efforts. The Joe Biden and Kamala Harris regime knew that FEMA was seriously ill-equipped to help disaster victims.
FEMA placed billions of dollars into projects that they basically lost interest in, and the money has just been sitting around unable to be used for disaster relief because the Biden-Harris administration did not bother to re-allocate the misplaced funds, according to an August 14, 2024 U.S. Department of Homeland Security inspector general report entitled “FEMA’s Inadequate Oversight Led To Delays In Closing Out Declared Disasters.”
“As of July 2023, the DRF was projected to have a $4.3 billion deficit by the end of fiscal year 2023. Continued delays in FEMA closing older disasters put an added strain on the primary source of funding for the Federal Government’s disaster relief program by withholding the return of $7.1 billion in potential monetary benefits, as detailed in Appendix D. Without stronger policies and improved oversight, FEMA risks continuing to close disaster programs in an untimely manner. Doing so prevents taxpayer dollars associated with expired or excessively extended grants from being returned to the DRF,” the inspector general report states (pg. 10).
The inspector general report recommended that FEMA “assess and close, as appropriate, the 42 grant programs in our scope representing $7 billion in unliquidated funding…”
How much of that “unliquidated funding” could have gone to hurricane victims in North Carolina, Florida or the numerous other states ravaged by hurricanes?


Kamala Harris’ poor handling of hurricane response is her biggest negative issue on social media according to ImpactSocial, as reported by Newsweek in an article entitled “Kamala Harris’ Hurricane Response Hurting Her Among Swing Voters: Analysis.”
But FEMA chief Deanne Criswell found the time to amped up about supposed conspiracy theories in a conversation with the press.
“It is absolutely the worst I have ever seen,” Criswell said to the media on a press call, referring to supposed misinformation and not referring to the cataclysmic damage inflicted on American citizens by the Biden regime’s neglect.
“It’s creating distrust in the federal government, but also the state government,” Criswell complained, seemingly oblivious to her own agency’s horrific response.
FEMA has been accused on social media of actually blocking supplies from getting to the hurricane victims in need. Elon Musk said that FEMA blocked the installation of StarLink terminals and other items that his SpaceX team tried to deliver in North Carolina.
Kamala, meanwhile, tried to wiggle her way out of the jam by trying out a new Latina accent, which sounds like Cheech from the classic stoner comedy team “Cheech and Chong.”
Kamala is getting rightly ratioed for trying to offer hurricane victims a $750 payment while her regime spends many billions on foreign wars including in Ukraine.
