Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen M. Nielsen traveled to Raleigh, North Carolina and Kinston, North Carolina yesterday. While in Raleigh, she met with North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper to discuss ongoing response and recovery efforts and tour impacted areas.

She also visited the #North Carolina emergency operations center and meet with personnel to receive a briefing on Hurricane Florence response and recovery efforts in the area. While in Kinston, Secretary Nielsen took an aerial tour of impacted areas.

Since Hurricane Florence made landfall last Thursday, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has deployed over 2,000 FEMA personnel and 71 teams in support of affected states. FEMA continues to work with federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial partners to respond to Florence.

President Donald J. Trump continues to work with officials and declared a Major Disaster for North and South Carolina as a result of #Hurricane Florence, over the weekend.

As a results of this, yesterday, USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue approved a temporary waiver that will allow participants in the USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in North Carolina to buy hot foods with their benefits through October 31, 2018. Noting that SNAP authorized retailers may need 24-36 hours to be ready to accept SNAP benefits for hot foods due to programming changes that may be required at their stores.

USDA also approved a waiver on September 16 to allow extended time for SNAP participants to submit claims for food lost in the disaster. Affected households in North Carolina now have until October 15 to report food losses and request replacement benefits so they can purchase food to make up for what

was lost in the storm.

Is Benghazi fading into the background?

Nine months and counting – still no clear answers on Benghazi. Six congressional hearings, whistle-blowers have spoken, yet we are no closer to getting justice for the murder of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, information officer Sean Smith and former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.

Obama’s presents on that day remains unknown – security failures are not accounted for – Hillary Clinton remains in hiding with no account accountability – real truth and real questions about Benghazi are going unanswered. 

Is the truth to the suggestion that Benghazi was actually a CIA gun-running operation for the Muslim Brotherhood and other insurgents fighting in Syria? Why would two military men on a roof paint a target – knowing that they would give themselves away – if there was no one coming to help? Why was the U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and others still in Benghazi when others were leaving as fast as they could?

Now that other terrorist attacks and White House scandals have surfaced and are getting most of the media attention – is the Benghazi attack destiny to fade into the background with unanswered questions?

“What difference does it make now”

It makes a difference because American lives have been snuffed – because all we have heard is rhetoric that is filled with lies and deceptions – because the families of the murdered and injured Americans have a right to have accountability on the matter and know the truth so they can have closure today not 20 years from now.

Because Obama said that his administration would be open and transparent; of which; we have seen very little of right from the beginning.

Grassfire is mobilizing 200,000 citizen-petitions that will be hand-delivered to key members of Congress on Capitol Hill calling for a complete and transparent investigation into the Benghazi attacks and the alleged cover-up that followed.

Sequester

Sequester is about the over spending by the government.  While Obama want higher taxes - GOP wants spending cuts.  What Obama claims will happen if sequester is left to happen is happening already.

Since when is it okay for the President to lie and deceive to get his way?  Is the President of the United States suppose to threaten people to get his way or use scare tactics to cause fear in people to get his way?  Maybe sequester should be left alone if it means that money is cut from Air Force One and Obama's traveling campaign that is solving nothing but filling the air ways with propaganda.

Americans have seen their citizenship diminished, will soon see their health care diminished, been foreclosed on, have been layed-off or lost lost their job to foreigners at home or overseas, and have taxation without representation.

Is our government guilty of murder?

Our government lied to us about the attacks in Libya when they claimed they were just the acts of a spontaneous mob in reaction to a You Tube video.  Our government has proven they are inept to tell a terrorist attack from a protest.  How could anyone trust the Obama administration to protect us from attacks here at home if they could not (or would not) protect Americans overseas.

Top security official in Libya twice begged the State Department for more security, but was told they would not get any, our fellow Americans were killed because the Obama administration failed to heed the warnings and evidence that an attack was imminent. 

From what we hear from the hearings the issue of needed safety was not one that just cropped up the week before – it was an on-going problem that no one in the Obama administration wanted to deal with and now feel covering up and blaming anyone and everything for their failure is the right thing to do. 

Richard Nixon resigned because of lies and cover-ups; Bill Clinton was impeached for lies and cover-ups.  Instead re-elect Obama, it should be impeach Obama.  When has lying and deceiving the American people, become an acceptable way of doing business from our leaders?

It makes no difference what department failed - it is the Obama administration - that makes it Obama's fault, he is responsibile for anything his people do or say.

Pandering Panda

Obama calmly said the Libya attack was due to a YouTube movie trailer when everything pointed to a terrorist attack.   The pandering of terrorist is as bad as their pandering of illegal aliens.

The more we find out what was happening in Libya before the deadly attack, the more it leaves you to believe the lying and cover-up was on the agenda. 

We learn that repeated requests were made by Ambassador Chris Stevens for increase security and was denied even though they knew his life had been threaten.  Then we learn that 24 hours after the fact Obama and other departments in charged had reports that it was indeed a terrorist attack and they still came out and lied about what happened.

The lying by all that were to protect this man and other Americans there should not be forgiven.  All the lying, twisting of words, and deceiving that has come out of this White House should not be forgotten. 

Clinton was impeached because he had lied about his relationship with 22-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky.  Nixon faced certain impeachment for obstruction of justice in the Watergate burglaries.  When has lying and deceiving become acceptable with our leaders?
