Around 2,200 buildings have been decimated by the inferno and around 1,300 people are still missing
The president is set to take a trip to Maui with First Lady Jill. He was criticized by Republicans for not addressing the crisis sooner. When asked about the blaze on Sunday, the president told a reporter ‘no comment’ as he lounged on the beach near his Delaware vacation home.
The Mail Online reports: The ‘no comment’ remark prompted outrage from even some of his Democratic allies.
‘I campaigned for you,’ said former Hawaii legislator Kaniela Ing on Monday on X. ‘Now, when I lose dozens of my friends, family, and neighbors. This?’
Biden will jet over to Maui from Lake Tahoe – where he arrives Friday for a vacation. The president had originally been planning to spend six days at the ritzy Nevada vacation spot but opted to cut the trip short amid criticism.
More than 3,000 people have registered for federal assistance, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and that number is expected to grow.
FEMA is providing $700 to displaced residents to cover the cost of food, water, first aid and medical supplies, in addition to qualifying coverage for the loss of homes and personal property.
The Biden administration is also seeking $12 billion more for the government’s disaster relief fund, as part of its supplemental funding request to Congress.
Before Biden announced his visit, Republicans compared his lack of a visit to East Palestine, Ohio – where a train derailed and spilled toxic chemicals, displacing 100s. Biden had promised to visit the Ohio town but never did.
‘President Biden completely ignored the people of East Palestine. Now, he’s giving the people of Maui the same treatment,’ Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
They didn’t turn off the electricity when they knew the fires had started They’re supposed to as standard practice . They didn’t send out any alerts or sound any alarms at all . That’s unbelievable.
Now they seem to be displaying intent In your face .
The Queen of Hawaii originally put herself in prison in order to stop the invaders from killing her people. But she knew the western law or the basics I think and by doing that she didn’t surrender so retained ownership just as Germany only signed the Amnesty from ww1 and the nazi party never surrendered after ww2 ,only the military did .Anyway the Lands department has taken what we call resumption rights over Hawaii meaning they can buy it at market value if they say its necessary for the greater good.
But if you look to see who is behind the,you shall own nothing (because we shall own everything )you ll find it all ends up being Church and Crown. Now they’re restoring monarchies throughout Aftica restoring renovating their palaces and mak8ng new legal deals with mona4ch8es globally whilst promot8ng their multi cultural resett too so its clearly a class operation
WHEN WE WIN IN 2024 we will build back better than ever
