Thank God, Boston is still a two newspaper town. The Boston Globe is just dreadful.

PUBLISHED: October 7, 2024 at 12:38 a.m.... It’s there in emergencies and disasters, like the recent flooding in Vermont, for which FEMA assistance was announced late last month. It was there for the severe winter storm that hit Massachusetts in 2022.
It’s also there, apparently, to give money to “non-federal entities” as the FEMA website says “to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).”
FEMA’s Shelter and Services Grant Program is a Joe Biden production, having signed it in law in December of 2022.
So now FEMA provides help during emergencies and natural disasters, as well as emergencies of the Biden Administration’s own making. ...
... We should never be in a situation where FEMA funds are insufficient during hurricane season. Or any season, given the natural disasters that have grabbed recent headlines. What is particularly baffling is that this administration is so invested in mitigating climate change, which environmental groups cite as making hurricanes more intense and contributing to weather events that cause massive flooding.
Shouldn’t Biden and Co. make sure FEMA funds are shored up as climate change-driven weather patterns worsen and states are more vulnerable?
Instead, Biden is working a game of three-card monte with taxpayer dollars. By funneling FEMA funds to migrant services, it bolsters the illusion that Biden has the immigration crisis under control. He doesn’t, even though he took better-late-than-never action to limit the number of migrants crossing the border. ...
For the FEMA / Biden's Open Border saga, we'll probably be able to glean more truth from local sources, than national sources.
