New Orleans is a hell hole. If debauchery is what you want, then by all means visit there. I avoid the place like the plague. (Hoo-ray, the voodoo festival is here! sarc/ )
Correct. And there are still some conservatives out there that wish Trump could be more like GWB in terms of temperament and "being presidential" - whatever that means. In my observations, GWB was a weak and ineffective president, which is why the Left now embraces him.
On the other hand, Trump has had several major hurricanes on his watch and he responded brilliantly to each one and brought massive resources to the scene ahead of time which silenced even Trump's fiercest critics. All they had to complain about was Melania's choice of footwear.
A governor who put her party over the people of Louisiana to embarrass Bush the Younger.
You do not understand FEMA’s mandate.
FEMA never takes the lead, but is there to supplement state and local emergency management.
FEMA is there to coordinate with those local resources and to provide the extra manpower, equipment and supplies in accordance with the state/local disaster relief plans.
The FACT is that Louisiana and New Orleans were mismanaged by Democrats. Their disaster planning was non-existent and the results speak for themselves.
The media and DNC were dishonest brokers in all this (big surprise) and Bush was a ball-less wonder on defense.
Puerto Rico was the same way. Trump just did not let the media command the dishonest narrative and allow the Democrats in PR to steal everything we supplied.
What is the 39th BCT?
No, but COL Ross and BG Chastain did. We pretty much marched past them and told the pencil neck dweebs to STFU and move aside. We were TF Razorback.

From what I recall, the school districts wanted to be reimbursed for usage of their school buses for evacuation. Then they waited so long that the people they needed to DRIVE the buses had already bugged out.
Total absence of any intelligence or planning characterized New Orleans's response to Katrina.
I lost my wonderful wife to cancer fifteen months ago. RIP!
At least Kanye eventually saw the light.
Point to me the section of the Constitution that authorizes FEMA.
Did I say FEMA was constitutional?
Please focus on the subject and don’t change it.
