President Biden Withholds Some Federal Disaster Relief from Rural West Texas

President Joe Biden is accused of turning his back on rural Texas including all of the counties in the Concho Valley. Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a disaster declaration for all 254 counties because of the historic and devastating storm that started Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14. Friday, Feb. 19, was the first time temperatures rose above the freezing level.

The combination of the freezing temperatures and the failure of the Texas electric power grid disrupted commerce, caused destruction of water distribution systems, and other temperature-sensitive infrastructure.

President Joe Biden announced that not all counties are included in all of his emergency declaration. Of the 254 counties in Texas, only 77 counties were listed in the Biden administration’s FEMA declaration and eligible for all assistance under FEMA’s disaster recovery programs. All of the counties in and near the Permian Basin in west Texas aren’t the list.

Democrat assholes won’t spend money on areas that don’t support them politically. Disgusting.

My TX geography isn't great, but isn't Midland, a significant city, in the Permian Basin? The appearance is that Biden is "punishing" an oil producing region.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Midland

City in Texas

Midland is a city in western Texas. Part of the Permian Basin area, it’s an oil industry center. At the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum, interactive exhibits detail the history of local oil exploration and include Boom Town, a replica 1930s oil town with a land office and general store. Dating from 1939, the George W. Bush Childhood Home has been restored to its 1950s state, when the 43rd president lived there. ― Google
