Biden Proposes Maui Fire Survivors ‘One-Time’ Pittance on Same Day $200 Million Declared for Ukraine
If Republicans are actually serious about overthrowing President Joe Biden in the 2024 general election, perhaps they should spend less time bickering among themselves and spend more time paying attention to the octogenarian-in-chief himself, because he’s doing a bang-up job writing the GOP sales pitch for them.
While some may (rightfully) observe that both Joe and Hunter Biden should be behind bars in the event that these damning bribery allegations turn out to be true, that still holds putting trust into this specific iteration of the Department of Justice.
Worry not though, because Biden just served up another piping hot reason not to vote for him — and this one won’t be contingent on U.S. Attorney David Weiss.
No, this one plainly behooves a working set of eyes and a basic understanding of how time works.
On Monday, Biden announced assistance to the people in Hawaii afflicted by the tragic Maui wildfires, as well as more aid to Ukraine.
One group is getting individual “one-time” payouts of a whopping $700.
Another group is getting $200 million.
In a Monday news release, the Department of Defense announced that it was sending another $200 million in aid to Ukraine.
The money appears to be appropriated strictly for military use, as the release lists out where that money will be going. Here are just a few examples, straight from them:
- “Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missiles”
- “Javelin and other anti-armor systems and rockets”
- “Over 12 million rounds of small arms ammunition and grenades”
Conversely, Biden took to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to announce a different round of aid, this time for the citizens of Hawaii. Of note, the death toll as of this writing sits at 96, per The Associated Press, but it is expected to rise as recovery efforts continue.
As residents of Hawai'i mourn the loss of life and devastation taking place across their beautiful home, we mourn with them.
Like I've said, not only our prayers are with those impacted – but every asset we have will be available to them.
Here's the latest:

After noting that FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) would do what it could for those displaced, he announced further aid that would go directly into the pockets of the Maui survivors:

“We’re laser-focused on getting aid to survivors, including Critical Needs Assistance: a one-time $700 payment per household offering relief during an unimaginably difficult time,” Biden posted to X.
To preface this, this writer is vehemently opposed to the idea of printing money for any reason (just look at the sorry state of the economy due in no small part to COVID pandemic payouts).
But how in the world can you justify $200 million to non-Americans and a fraction of that to devastated American households?
How can Biden dare mention that “every asset we have will be available” to the survivors of the Maui wildfires when that clearly and brazenly isn’t the case?
“No comment.”
Yes. Instead of being able to offer an iota of sympathy for the tragedy in Hawaii (again, an American state), Biden instead channeled a perpetrator pleading the Fifth.
Which is ironic, because if those aforementioned bribery allegations are true, selling out the American people for a foreign government will take on a whole other (and significantly worse) meaning for the Bidens.
Pres. Trump issues a statement on the tragedy in Maui:
“It is a DISGRACEFUL thing that Joe Biden refuses to help or comment on the tragedy in Maui, just as he refused to help or comment on the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.”

JUST IN: Joe Biden vows to send a whopping $700 payment per household that was impacted by the Maui wildfires.
Can someone please explain to me why our leaders are so reckless with money sent to Ukraine but then pinch pennies when the money is spent on Americans?

Biden sent $200M to Ukraine today
He also sent $700 per household to Hawaiian families affected by the deadly fires
An estimated 2,600 structures were burned which means Joe sent approx. $1.8M in Critical Needs Assistance
Ukraine: $200M
Hawaii: $1.8M
