Joe and Kamala hold wildfire briefing and it sucked

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris tried to act like leaders on Monday by talking about the horrific wildfires in California. But pretending to lead can often go wrong, and that's what happened when the clown show came to town.

While sitting at the famous Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, Biden focused on his prepared speech. He talked, almost mumbling, about giving the victims a cough, "one-time payment of $770." It wasn't clear how that amount of money was supposed to help the situation. Perhaps it could pay for a few nights at a Motel 6 where they would leave the lights on, or for those who plan to rebuild their next home from scratch, it might pay for a window [without the labor cost].

Giving away a one-time payment of $770 is a cruel joke to anyone who lost their home in the wildfires. If in December the Biden administration could hand out $3,400,000,000 to Ukrainian bureaucrats and teachers who live in the safe part of Ukraine, not for the war effort, why do they rate more than Californians?

Taxpayers are obligated to finance the salaries of officials from another country, yet American disaster victims receive a mere $770 after losing everything. This is an absurd distortion of priorities, one that the public can no longer ignore.

"If anyone is still confused as to why Donald Trump won the 2024 election, this is one of the reasons why," critics argue. Democrats have shown care and empathy, albeit with taxpayers' money, to everyone except the citizens they are supposed to represent and protect. This critique is not about questioning Ukraine's right to defend itself, which it undeniably has; rather, it's about Americans consistently receiving less while they foot the bill.

Kamala Harris' speech was equally unhelpful. Instead of providing concrete assistance to those in need, the twice-failed presidential candidate resorted to a confusing monologue, urging victims to be "patient."

Yes, another Kamala Harris word salad. She offers nothing in her cosplaying as Vice President. Asking the wildfire victims who lost their homes and are getting a whopping $750 should be told to be "patient" while she sits in front of the camera in the Oval Office.

At least the briefing ended somewhat quickly when our alleged President made faces at members of the press causing his handlers to yell at them to leave the room.

It's as if this clown show doesn't know that 25 people are dead and many remain unaccounted for. Oh, but he just became a great grandfather in the midst of this disaster, because everything is always about him.

The good news is that he and Harris will be out of office in five days and an actual competent president will take over. Let us hope and pray that he remains safe.
