The United States announced that it would be providing $157 million in humanitarian aid to address the “crisis in Lebanon” and those who have been affected by it.
In a press release on Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken revealed that the “nearly $157 million” in humanitarian assistance would go towards addressing “new and existing needs to internally displaced persons and refugee populations” for communities in Lebanon.
“The United States will provide nearly $157 million in new U.S. humanitarian assistance to support populations affected by conflict in Lebanon and the region,” Blinken said

But NOTHING for Americans affected by the hurricane.
Dems are just evil to the bone.

So our president is not so far gone after all.
To be sure, he has goofy moments. But the amoral, venal, debased man is still in there, living his best life, and continuing his pattern of destruction.
I can’t comment further. My heart breaks for these people. When I see (have seen) what our government is doing (has done ) to its citizens, the first word that comes to mind is “tyranny.” Or “repression.”
Communism.

Absolutely correct No 1. FEMA blew the nest egg on feeding and housing and all the niceties like phones and credit cards to undocumented, unvetted, unemployable illegal aliens while the people of Appalachia suffer. But of course there is always money for the people in the Middle East that hate America. Totally nuts.

But the Gov. gives a mere $750 to the people wiped out by the hurricane! Stop the foreign aid now, until our own people are cared for and helped. Voters please vote these asses out of office, they care more for illegals and the people who support terrorists than the people of our own country. This is evil, this is wrong, and I hope those who are turning their backs on our own people burn in hell for it. MAGA

About 10% of which will end up helping anyone. The rest will end up with the people who hate us.

Nothing for the mountain hurricane victims because they a mostly Trump voters. FEMA even blocked starllink because Donald Trump's wife was there setting people up for that. If they can't restore facilities they can't vote.

The crisis in Lebanon is a huge shortage of body bags for dead Hezbollah. I suggest scraping them up with spoons and feeding the chum to sharks.

Sounds like just another way for Biden/Harris to fund Hezbollah.
Because, unless they control every stage of distribution, that aid will go straight to either the warlords, or the militants.

There has never been a more self aware, tone deaf administration. Out of one side of their mouth they claim they are out of money for Hurricane Helene victims. Out of the other side they send millions/billions to others countries in aid without a second thought. What's wrong with this picture?

#4, I suggest that we stop all foreign aid completely and forever. Notice that not one of the countries which we aid has ever offered up a penny to us when disaster strikes here. All they do is take and take and take. Imagine what you could do for your own family, your neighbors, friends and charities if the government put that foreign aid money back into your own pocket.

Everybody watch our government's priorities folks! Not that it matters. Those dollars are worthless. Btw, where will those dollars finally end up? Lebanon is Hezbollah country.

Democrats would rather support radical Islam than help Americans that are in desperate need. It doesn't get any sicker than that.

Like I always wonder- where is the UNITED NATIONS role with all of this overseas humanitarian aid? The US taxpayers already contribute zillions to this bunch of useful idiots and yet we are supposed to always contribute additional just because our administration led by fraudulent bureaucrats says so? Our hard working citizens in the Helene stricken areas do not deserve to be snubbed like this! Biden even got special docks set up to send aid to Gaza although most never got there as the docks enabled those who stole most of it. A lot is ROTTEN in the DC state of Biden-Harris.

Great timing!
They can find plenty of dough for Lebanon, but only pocket change for a few of our own devastated people.
But then citizens who just lost everything probably aren't going to kick back '10% for the Big Guy".... But Hezbollah and Hamas might.
