I got new information on Hurricane Maria Crisis in Puerto Rico. Folks FEMA is out, this is a military operation from now on.
Brigadier General Jefrey Buchanan will be in charge of logistics, reestablishment of communications and power in key locations.
Folks the American Flag was raised here 120 years ago. We are AMERICANS get this through everybody’s head. And we earn the respect of lots of good American folks during the years..
My uncle is a Korean War Veteran and when his army buddies from Boston heard of this debacle they called their Congress people to hold their feet to the fire.
So we don’t beg down here in PR we demand. And this Ukrainian Lady Natalie Jaresko deep state debt collector is going to be sent packing to the Ukraine. We know ! this is key we know ! their croony capitalist ways.

News report from the Daily Beast.. (ok left leaning and biasied towards the Clintons, but their factual reporting remains pretty consistent ….) http://www.thedailybeast.com/us-army-takes-over-massive-mission-to-save-puerto-rico
Ive been seeing some reports that PR is being abandonned by Trump , who considers it colonial property..
But that’s probably coming from biased sources..
What I don’t understand is WHY the army isnt rebuilding already.. Trump claims that it’s because PR is an island in the middle of a big sea (??? I thought amercians liked big things, dont they supersize soda drinks?? it'(s just scalar.. bigger ocean needs bigger ships :p)
HOWEVER!! And this is what is pis$ing me off (sorry but the level of annoyance has to be understood here..) A lot of local countries stand ready to help PR, but they can’t because of a stupid piece of America First legislation.. The Jones Act passed in 1929 requires, among other things, that all shipping between United States ports be done on U.S.-flagged and U.S.-built ships. The act applies to Puerto Rico’s ports, too. In Puerto Rico’s case, the Jones Act also imposes tariffs on goods imported to Puerto Rico from other countries, including the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Colombia and other Caribbean nations in a good position to deliver aid if they could.
Whaiii to go Murica!
Kenny – tell your friends to make sure they know where their children are. The military is coming..

We are upset because we got Marines, Army and National Guard stationed in PR. They didn’t move the equipment soon enough to rescue people. The National Guard did move and did rescues with the Governor.
This is very bad for President Trump. I got family in Utah. Irish American huge family and lots of friends they started calling their Congress people. For them help didnt arrive soon enough. I don’t know what Trump thinks we are Americans. Somebody gave a Scent of a Woman flamethrower speech and things are moving.

I think that after this disaster things are going to change politically. Not only we are citizens but family with American folks in the states. My home is practically a hotel for my friends and family in Utah. They travel here during the winters. And they are all a bunch of Republicans and they vote. They literally drilled their Congress people. I gave a phone interview to a reporter in Utah who wanted to know the situation.
US should have some kind of civillian rescue and emergency unit, for this kind of events. The army is killing machine, not a helping machine. It´s not very good for rescue missions.
The army can build a city in the middle of a desert. They are here to reestablish vital communications and power to key areas. Plus is a great exercise to these troops. Wish I were a drill Sargent during this hurricane. Put this people opening roads to help people.
Okay 🙂 It´s true they are good building roads.
