Florida – Freer Report https://freerreport.com There's a thin line between ringing alarm bells and fearmongering.

This isn’t just an isolated incident; it reflects a troubling trend where political affiliations dictate disaster response.

FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell confirmed on Saturday that Marn’i Washington was fired after whistleblowers revealed her explicit orders to “avoid homes advertising Trump” while canvassing Lake Placid, Florida. These instructions were not only given verbally but also documented in writing—raising serious questions about internal oversight at FEMA.

“More than 22,000 FEMA employees every day adhere to FEMA’s core values and are dedicated to helping people before, during and after disasters, often sacrificing time with their own families to help disaster survivors,” Criswell said in a statement. “Recently, one FEMA employee departed from these values to advise her survivor assistance team to not go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Trump.”

How can we trust an agency tasked with aiding all Americans when it allows political bias like this? It’s nothing short of disgraceful—this blatant disregard for neutrality is alarming.

“This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation. This was reprehensible,” Criswell continued.

Criswell’s condemnation may sound strong on paper but does it reflect genuine accountability or merely damage control following public outrage? It begs the question: how many other employees share Washington’s views?

“I want to be clear to all of my employees and the American people, this type of behavior and action will not be tolerated at FEMA and we will hold people accountable if they violate these standards of conduct,” Criswell added.

Yet here lies another inconsistency: why did it take so long for decisive action against Washington? Reports indicate as many as 20 homes were neglected due solely because they displayed pro-Trump sentiments between late October and November—a staggering number considering these individuals desperately needed aid amid natural disasters.

Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called the Daily Wire report “sickening,” voicing legitimate concerns about potential discrimination against her constituents impacted by Hurricane Helene and Milton.

“My district was one of the most heavily impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and it has been sickening to hear that more than half of my constituents were discriminated against for their political beliefs,” she said.

Luna points out what should alarm us all—the audacity with which government officials operate under perceived impunity when targeting everyday citizens based on their politics.

“Big government bureaucrats despise everyday Americans because they are not politically expedient for them.”

Her assertion rings true; bureaucratic elitism breeds contempt towards those who dare oppose progressive narratives even in times when solidarity should prevail over partisanship.

“I demand answers from FEMA Administrator Criswell,” Luna declared passionately. “Congress must fully investigate this matter. The days of putting Americans and America last are over.”

Criswell must address hard-hitting inquiries surrounding how such disgraceful conduct persisted unchecked within her agency until now—not simply fire someone amidst mounting pressure without addressing systemic issues contributing toward this failure!

“It is completely unacceptable that a FEMA official was allowed to exploit Hurricane Milton…”

Disasters should unify us rather than expose our divisions—yet here we stand today witnessing politics hijack humanitarian efforts at precisely our nation’s weakest moments!

The House Oversight Committee will be holding a heading about this later in November.

Trump’s administration must commit to a serious overhaul of FEMA.

The National Hurricane Center reported early Wednseday that Milton was located about 300 miles southwest of Tampa, traversing the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico towards the northeast at 14 mph.

“On the forecast track, the center of Milton will move across the eastern Gulf of Mexico today, make landfall along the west-central coast of Florida late tonight or early Thursday morning, and move off the east coast of Florida over the western Atlantic Ocean Thursday afternoon,” NHC wrote in an advisory note.

The latest forecast states Milton will make landfall near Sarasota between 0200 ET and 0600 ET Thursday morning as a Category 4 storm.

One of the main concerns across the Tampa to Sarasota region will be the storm’s dangerous eye and eyewall unleashing record storm surges. Warnings have already been posted for much of Florida’s western coast.

Not good.

“Tampa is on a knife’s edge, but Sarasota, Siesta Key, Venice, Englewood, Port Charlotte, and Punta Gorda continue to look to experience the worst of the storm surge under this scenario,” Ben Noll, a meteorologist with New Zealand’s National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research, wrote on X.

Noll continued.

Since Sunday, evacuations in the state have been the largest since 2017.

According to the Florida Division of Emergency Management, here are the areas under mandatory evacuation orders:

Charlotte County; Citrus County; Collier County; Hillsborough County; Hernando County; Lee County; Levy County; Manatee County; Pasco County; Pinellas County; Sarasota County; St. John’s County and Volusia County;

And voluntary evacuation orders:

Glades County; Okeechobee County; Dixie County; Hardee County; Miami-Dade County and Union County.

Evacuation order map:

GTFO.

Meanwhile, Tampa-area Sheriff Chad Chronister of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office told residents anyone who has not evacuated is “on their own.”

Chances are pretty strong that this is all just one big coincidence, that two of the most powerful hurricanes to hit the United States in modern history happened less than two weeks apart a month before the most important presidential election of our lifetimes.

Then again, who believes in coincidences? We discussed on today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show.
