Biden cancels FEMA declaration for Texas.

Acting Gov. Dan Patrick has levied accusations against President Biden alleging that the president has misled him, Gov. Abbott, and the people of Texas by ending a Major Disaster Declaration the same day he granted it. The Federal Emergency Management Agency published a press release on Wednesday detailing the president’s approval of a Major Disaster Declaration following the destruction wreaked by Hurricane Beryl. A Major Disaster Declaration is required before the federal government grants FEMA aid to assist in covering costs incurred by the state following a natural disaster. According to FEMA, Texas has been given access to federal assistance to help pay for hurricane damages between July 5-9. Yet, because the declaration ended July 9, Texas will not be reimbursed for any expenses incurred after that date. “He [President Biden] pulled the rug out from under the people of Texas and lied to them,” Patrick posted Thursday on X. Additionally, the declaration only approved federal funding to cover expenses in 67 counties. According to Patrick, the president broke his promise to the acting governor on a phone call to administer aid to 121 counties. “The bottom line is this: President Biden lied about reaching out to me from day one, our declaration request, and the aid he said he would give Texas,” said Patrick. “Biden is the first president in history to weaponize FEMA as a political tool, which is completely unacceptable and unethical and undermines the relationship states have with FEMA.”

Does Texas not understand that there are literally billions that need to be sent to Ukraine?

Don't laugh. Texas needs this money to recover and soon, Louisiana may need money to recover as well.
This is a terrible precedent to set.

If Texas wants to be in charge of its own border, then it should be in charge of its own disasters.

The biggest disaster is Joe Biden. He hates Americans.

I don't doubt it. It's more of the same we've seen with this administration weaponizing the federal government. The fact that they do this and our nation doesn't rise up demonstrates how far down we've fallen as a nation.
This kinda shite is what started the American Revolution in 1776. Eventually, it will start another one. There are a significant percent of American taxpayers who will not tolerate this much longer.

I hate this argument. If this is true, then they should not pay fed taxes.

Look at the mixed message.
Texas tells fedgov to frick off and that it will handle and close the border on its own.
Then along comes a hurricane and Texas has its hand out begging fedgov for dollars.
Texas portends itself to be a badass independent cowboy in one instance and a cuck in another.

What a stupid statement!!!! Texas and it's citizens pay taxes that go towards funding FEMA!!!!! Why shouldn't they be able to receive federal help????
Just more weaponizing of the federal government by the Biden commies.

Bad look by Wheels, IMO. I know the county is in charge of the relief but the optics are not good.
And why is the Governor going to Asia anyway? How much is the state going to benefit from this?

The idiocy of some on this board is astonishing!! Either your being dishonest or just plain stupid.
It's more like what Texas said was , " if you (federal government) won't secure our border, then we will."

Sure, but that means their federal income taxes should be mostly diverted to the state.
