As I write this article, the death toll from Hurricane Helene has risen to at least 227 victims across six states, with hundreds unaccounted for, suggesting the total could rise dramatically.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA.) on Friday slammed the Biden-Harris administration for its (lack of) response to the catastrophic storm, while also warning that the cost of recovery could be “one of the most expensive” the country has seen.
Also on Friday, Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R) really torched Biden and Harris for their astonishing ineptitude, calling them “clowns,” and then some.
During an interview that aired on Mobile, AL radio FM Talk 106.5, Tuberville called the administration “criminal” for allegedly misusing the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) disaster relief money to compensate illegal aliens:
We’re in a tough situation, Jeff, and we’ve been lied to. We’ve been scammed, the American people have been scammed. You know, I’m a Republican, but first of all, I’m an American that believes in Christian values and believe in our country and believe in the people that built this country and I want to leave this country to our kids and grandkids. So that being said, we’ve been scammed.
You know, you’ve got two people running now for office that were not elected through the process. They were selected. And why did that happen? I know people when Joe Biden got out, friends of mine on the Democratic side in the Senate, they were going to run for the nomination when they had their convention.
And they were immediately called and told, you will not run. We have selected this person to run. Pretty much threatened them. And so they didn’t run.
“So what has happened,” Tuberville continued, “is Mayorkas and this whole group have lied to the American people for three-and-a- half, going on four years.” Is there any doubt?
He kept saying our border’s closed and this and that. Now, you know, we all been looking for, where are they getting this money from to take care of these people? Other than the fact we knew they’re using the CARES money, COVID money, Inflation Reduction Act money.
Now we know that the group that has been confiscated by this regime other than the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, everybody involved, now FEMA. They have been taking money from FEMA and paying these illegal immigrants and taking care of them. And it’s all coming out in the light.
“And people [are saying] ‘Wait a minute,'” the senator said, “‘This is for a natural disaster, not a manmade disaster like the border.”
Tuberville then brought the hammer down:
But they’re corrupt. Every day, something comes up now that they’ve been exposed, that they’ve been doing, they shouldn’t be doing. And people should be going to jail. This is treason. And not taking care of these people up and down the East Coast because this.
We don’t have the money. We’re printing $80,000 a second right now, just to keep our country going. They have absolutely, Jeff, run us in the ditch.
Whether or not FEMA has misused disaster relief funds to pay illegal aliens, Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has admitted that the agency is running short on funds.

‘We’re Going to Have a Hard Time’
Given the response of the Biden-Harris administration and FEMA, Tuberville said, “The American people are getting us out of this mess they’ve [Biden-Harris and FEMA] have got us in.”
We’re going to have so hard a time … And they’re pushing the narrative of electing these two people [Harris and Walz] that, you know, Trump and JD Vance are so much more qualified than these two clowns running.
But these two clowns aren’t going to be running the show. It’s going to be the Deep State behind the scenes. And folks, I know if you’re out there, a Democrat, you’ve always voted Democrat, that’s the way it goes.
Finally, Tuberville said: “This is not Democrat versus Republican, adding:
This is America versus Deep State socialism. And it’s coming to an end here in about 30 days. And my God, if Trump doesn’t win, I don’t know what we’re going to do. I really don’t.
Neither do I. And neither do millions of rational Americans who are proud of “America First,” and sick and tired of the intentional, destructive policies of the Biden-Harris administration.

As I wrote, earlier on Saturday, anyone who thinks a Harris-Walz administration wouldn’t be at least as bad as the last, almost four years is an unadulterated fool.
