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.

Ya gotta hand it to Davis and the multitude of rightwing nuts who won't look further than the next rumor they hear on their social media platforms to believe what they want to hear...

Rather than reply to a singular rumor-case from a rightwing nut job like Davis, I'll get out in front of the big one he hasn't yet mentioned and let a GOP rep do it:

"NC Republican: ‘Hurricane Helene was NOT geoengineered by the government’"

"Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-N.C.) tried to debunk some of the misinformation that has proliferated on social media following the government’s response to Hurricane Helene in the southeastern U.S., saying the tropical cyclone was “NOT geoengineered by the government.”

“Over the past 10 days, I have been proud of how our mountain communities have come together to help one another,” Edwards said in a Tuesday press release aimed at his constituents."

“We have seen a level of support that is unmatched by most any other disaster nationwide; but amidst all of the support, we have also seen an uptick in untrustworthy sources trying to spark chaos by sharing hoaxes, conspiracy theories, and hearsay about hurricane response efforts across our mountains,” he added."

BUT WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH SOME MAYOR'S DAUGHTER'S CASE?!!! WHAT?! WE'RE SUPPOSED TO ANSWER TO EVERY SINGLE RIGHTWING POST AND ACCEPT EVERYTHING IN THAT POST AS ACCURATE?! WHEN YOU'VE GOT TO DEBUNK THE "GUBERMINT'S" MANUFACTURING THE HURRICANES ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE RIGHTWING NUTJOB CRAP, ANYBODY WITH HALF A BRAIN CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT FEMA  IS DEALING WITH...

HEY TRUMP/"JD" PUTIN SUPPORTER:

"Florida Republican suggests Greene have ‘head examined’ over hurricane claims"

Where's the rumor you lying sack of shit?  You claimed that my postings were rumors from a right wing wacko.

Well I posted several videos now.

The mayor of Swannanoa NC said on camera that HIS daughter's house had the entire 1st level removed and the house is destroyed and that FEMA wouldn't even give her $750 but instead told her she qualified for $300.

The bastards at FEMA JUST SENT $157 MILLION to Lebanon, the country of Lebanon where HEZBOLLAH is in charge.

Yes Kamala Harris, the person whose ass you lick, and whose dog collar you wear on a daily basis BRAGGED on her X acct that HER FEMA just handed over $157,000,000 to HEZBOLLAH the terrorist organization, when they denied $750 to the Swannanoa NC Mayor's daughter. 

What is your response to that, you Kamala Harris ass licking bitch?

HEY SUPPORTER OF PUTIN TRUMP "JD":

YOU POSTED A VIDEO OF AN AMERICAN CITIZEN IN CANTON OHIO REPORTEDLY ACCUSED OF EATING A CAT SO TRUMP AND "JD"s CLAIMS OF PEOPLE FROM "HATIA" ARE EATING PETS IN SPRINGFIELD OHIO SO IT MUST BE TRUE...

A quick check on the internet reveals what we already know:

"According to recent reports, the claim that FEMA denied $750 to the Swannanoa, NC Mayor's daughter is a false rumor; FEMA has stated that they are providing disaster assistance to those affected by the recent storm in the area and that rumors about limited funding are inaccurate."
"Key points to remember:"
False information:
The circulating claim about the Mayor's daughter being denied assistance is considered false information.
FEMA response:
"FEMA has publicly addressed these rumors, stating they have enough funds to provide necessary disaster relief.
Verify information:
"Always check information from reliable sources before believing rumors about disaster assistance."

Fact:   The mayor confirms the fact that his daughter's home was destroyed, she met with FEMA and applied for the $750 and she was DENIED by FEMA of getting $750

Fact:   FEMA Money was sent to our enemy Hezbollah in Lebanon.  Kamala Harris bragged about sending $157,000,000.  The money came from FEMA. 

Fact:   FEMA money was sent over the last 2 years to support Illegal Migrants.  FEMA sent over $900 Million almost $1 Billion to the cities to house, feed, and give medical care to the Illegal migrants in cities around the nation.   They gave the Mayor of Swannanoa's daughter who lost her home a PUNY $300.

1. DEBUNKED NY POST ARTICLE ON "THE MAYOR'S DAUGHTER" BS.

2. "Rumor: Funding for FEMA disaster response was diverted to support international efforts or border related issues."

"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."

It's not surprising either to see Rich parroting the racist conspiracy theories of the right-wing MAGA-heads, given that Trump himself is amplifying them at his rallies and on social media. And then, as Rod has posted, FEMA has suspended its door-to-door outreach in some of the areas devastated by Helene because they and the National Guard are not safe due to conspiracy-fueled armed militias. Conspiracy theories that Trump himself is boosting at his rallies and on social media. At this point, I'm not sure who is spreading conspiracy theories more: Rich, Trump, or Fox News.

Not to mention the reason Trump wouldn't go on CNN is, heaven forbid, he might be fact-checked. 
Not to mention "JD" threw a hissy fit because of an honest to goodness old-fashion fact check, the nerve of 'em...

When asked flat out in a press conference the other day, whether they were "using FEMA funding to support undocumented Migrants", Karine Jean Pierre, the administration liar in chief stated "that is categorically false".

Let me repeat Karine Jean Pierre:  "it is just categorically false"

Oh, "categorically" false.

But then we see in the video that she states flat out that FEMA funding is being used for humanitarian purposes for illegal migrant.

"Funding is also available through FEMA's emergency food and shelter program to eligible local governments and not for profit organizations upon request to support Humanitarian relief FOR Migrants".

Gee, I thought she said that the facts were "categorically" false??   Hmm.... that's odd isn't it. 

So then FEMA funds ARE being used and WERE being used to house, feed, and shelter migrants but then the White House press sec'y is lying again.  

Dave Rubin then shows the spreadsheet where in 2023, FEMA funds were used for illegal migrants to the tune of $640,000,000 

But the daughter of the Mayor of Swannanoa, NC was DENIED by FEMA for her deserved $750.  

That's the SLEAZE that's going on with FEMA under Kamala Harris.

But not to worry becasue the leftists and the Resident RINO here can't wait to vote for MORE of this despicable bullshit.

And Why?  Because they have a mental disorder known as Trump Derangement Syndrome.

"Rumor: Funding for FEMA disaster response was diverted to support international efforts or border related issues.
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.

That's your prerogative to just keep repeating lies.  That's also the prerogative of intellectual lightweights everywhere. 

Facts are FEMA FUNDS WERE USED FOR Illegal migrants.  That's a fact and like all gov't agencies their funds are spread around.  

Problem for you though are the FACTS.  

Fact:  FEMA Money was used for supporting illegal migrants over the past 2 years to the tune of nearly $1,000,000,000

Fact:  FEMA money was used to pay Hezbollah, the terrorist organization that governs Lebanon, and Kamala Harris bragged about it.  She said on her X that they were proud to Send $157,000,000 to Lebanon, which is Hezbollah.  

Fact:  And the Mayor's daughter in Swannanoa, NC lost her house, applied for the PUNY FEMA $750 payment to her family and FEMA denied her the $750.  

KEEP THE LYING BUT NOBODY OTHER THAN ANOTHER LYING MAGA BELIEVES YOU. YOU SUPPORT THE PRO-PUTIN TRUMP "JD" TEAM PERIOD!

The Trump administration is pulling $271 million in funding from the Department of Homeland Security, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Disaster Relief Fund, to pay for immigration detention space and temporary hearing locations for asylum-seekers who have been forced to wait in Mexico, according to department officials and a letter sent to the agency by a California congresswoman.

Even some Republicans can't stand Trump's HS that Davis devours:

"Republicans in Congress call out hurricane misinformation coming from within their own party"

"Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah also attacked former President Donald Trump for spreading disinformation, including about FEMA."

“Former President Trump told us that the people in Springfield are eating dogs and cats, alright? He likewise said that FEMA money, our emergency money, instead of helping the people that are being hit by the hurricane is being used to help illegals,” he said at an event in Utah earlier this week."

“He just makes it up. So he is able to spew enough disinformation that the Chinese must be smiling,” added Romney. “When it comes to a holiday from the truth, he’s taken the longest vacation.”

"Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards, who represents storm-ravaged western North Carolina and has been on the ground assisting with recovery efforts, felt compelled to send a letter to his community fact checking a number of the outlandish conspiracy theories."

“Amidst all of the support, we have also seen an uptick in untrustworthy sources trying to spark chaos by sharing hoaxes, conspiracy theories, and hearsay about hurricane response efforts across our mountains,” he wrote in the letter. “I’m here to dispel the outrageous rumors that have been circulated online.”

"Republican Rep. Carlos Gimenez of Florida called out Georgia firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday telling her to get her “head examined” for suggesting someone is “controlling the weather.”

"Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who has endorsed the former president, broke from Trump, debunking a number of specific claims he has repeatedly fueled.

“We have to stay focused on rescue operations, recovery operations, clearing operations, and we don’t need any of these distractions on the ground,” Tillis said Sunday on CBS’ “Face The Nation.” “It’s at the expense of the hard-working first responders and people that are just trying to recover their lives.”
