Tragic

 




“Noem didn’t authorize FEMA’s deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until Monday, more than 72 hours after the flooding began, multiple sources told CNN.” 


 As CNN has previously reported, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — whose department oversees FEMA — recently enacted a sweeping rule aimed at cutting spending: Every contract and grant over $100,000 now requires her personal sign-off before any funds can be released.

Only red baseball caps in the disaster red CNN, not MAGA. Noem should go back to shooting puppies.

Obviously like our Sec Def, Noem is a great example of "only the best people".

Sorta makes you wonder who the crummy people were Trump turned down if Noem qualifies as "the best"?
