Here's the .@usairforce urgent request to Congress for $4.9B for storm-wrecked .@Offutt_AFB @TeamTyndall. If it can't get funding, it will take $$ from 61 USAF repairs in 18 states. "We desperately need the supplemental funding to recover from the natural disasters." Lists here:

My question is, did the AF know Offutt was prone to flooding?

CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — More than six months after Hurricane Florence ravaged North Carolina, hundreds of buildings at Camp Lejeune and two other nearby Marine Corps installations remain frozen in time, with walls still caved in and roofs missing.

The Marines say they need $3.6 billion to repair the damage to more than 900 buildings at Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station New River, and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point caused by the storm and catastrophic flooding in its aftermath. And while they have torn down soggy, moldy walls, put tarps on roofs and moved Marines into trailers, so far they have not received a penny from the federal government to fix the damage.

Now the Marine Corps' top officer is warning that readiness at Camp Lejeune — home to one third of the Corps' total combat power — is degraded and "will continue to degrade given current conditions."

1. Get the hint.

2. Just clap politely at his rallies, and

all will be just fine.

3. I thought a House committee,

sent a letter to the Pentagon challenging any proposed diversion of funds?

5. Me too. Maybe it has something to do with the people who

actually control the accounts? Some entity has to be responsible for sending money where it belongs or where they are told. Do they answer to Trump? Maybe this has to go to the courts.

4. How will Trump spin this so that he and the MAGA crowd try to blame Obama for this?

FTR, Puerto Rico is still a mess and I'm not convinced to this day that Trump understands that Puerto Ricans are US citizens. The fact that the GOP allows the Racist-in-Chief to treat Puerto Ricans as second class citizens, is shameful.
