National Guard Chief: No Delay On Puerto Rico Relief

By Kerry Picket
 9/30/2017


The head of the National Guard said on Tuesday that federal help for Puerto Rico was never delayed, even though President Donald Trump has received heavy criticism for the administration’s apparent lackluster response to the hurricane-wracked island.

According to The Hill, Gen. Joseph Lengyel stated that he did not see any politics from the White House injected into the decision making that would postpone or prohibit relief to Puerto Rico.

When asked if he saw any delay of aid sent to the island, Lengyel responded, “I wouldn’t say I’ve seen any of that.”

"...the Mayor of San Juan has refused to connect the FEMA command center set up on the territory to give aid to those on the island."

On the ground I see the suffering-but feel deeply that attacking @realDonaldTrump for the ravages of nature &neglect is politicizing tragedy

I watched CNN and MSNBC you tube interviews (attacks) on the FEMA head, and it was patently obvious that any badmouthing done by anyone in Puerto Rico will get big exposure in the US MSM.

That's crap, especially when other political figures down there are not getting the air time or exposure to say what is going right. NOLA and Katrina flashback time...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Geraldo never loses track of which side of the bread his butter is on.  He'll be firmly on the left before he leaves the island.

As for the anti-Trump stories?  Well, duh.  they'll report that crap whether happens or not.

The MSM live to tell us how bad any non Democrat administration is. They've been doing it since Nixon.
