‘This is DISGUSTING’: Biden gives $1B to Africa as NC residents sleep in tents

December 4, 2024 | | Print Article

After issuing a blanket pardon to his son Hunter Biden, proving that there are indeed two standards of justice in America, President Biden absconded to Africa to avoid the fallout of going back on his word that he would not intervene in his son’s legal affairs.

The 82-year-old president traveled to Angola, where he subsequently pledged $1 billion in humanitarian support to Africans displaced by “historic droughts and food insecurity.” The outrageous largess coming as residents in North Carolina struggle to overcome the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Helene — winter has hit the region and, with temperatures in the teens, some are still living in tents.

“The United States continues to be the world’s largest provider of humanitarian aid and development assistance,” Biden declared on Tuesday. “That’s going to increase, you know, that’s the right thing for the wealthiest nation in the world to do. Today I’m announcing over $1 billion in new humanitarian support for Africans displaced from homes by historic droughts and food insecurity.”

“We know African leaders and citizens are seeking more than just aid. You seek investment. So, the United States is expanding our relationship all across Africa from assistance to aid, investment to trade, moving from patrons to partners to help bridge the infrastructure gap,” he added, speaking outside the National Slavery Museum.

The Biden White House requested $98 billion in natural disaster relief funding for areas impacted by the storm back in mid-November, with Fox News reporting on Tuesday that congressional leaders “on both sides of the aisle have pledged to act swiftly once they get a formal request from the Biden administration.”

The network also noted that FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said last month her agency “will need additional funding of approximately $40 billion beyond its 2025 budget request to support the ongoing recovery efforts to these storms and meet our overall mission requirements through the end of the fiscal year.”

Meanwhile, the geriatric president is being “led around Angola like a child,” as one social media user noted while sharing an embarrassing video of a confused, seemingly lost Biden literally being led by the hand down a red carpet by Angola President João Lourenço, who had to physically intervene to prevent Biden from tripping over a step leading to a platform:
