"...people are dying story." is a tragic news story. The media addresses these issues to bring resolve, not information.

The response to the territories of the USA is and was horrible. According to CNN yesterday there were significant supplies at the docks in San Juan with no way to distribute them because there were no trucks or truck drivers. Evidently, any chance of notifying any truck drivers on the island was impossible because there was no wide spread island communication. 

Elaine Duke needs to put a stopper in her enthusiasm for horrendous and tragic news. She needs to put on her Homeland Security uniform and GET DOWN THERE! It is far better to be on the ground with necessary personnel to direct efforts than to sit in DC in an air conditioned office and GUESS at the outcomes of relief efforts.

The mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, (click here) lashed out at acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke's comment that the Hurricane Maria relief efforts are a "good news story," saying that in reality, it's a "people are dying story."

Speaking outside the White House on Thursday, Duke said that she was “very satisfied” with efforts to aid Puerto Rico in the wake of Maria, which devastated the island and has created a humanitarian crisis. Duke said “it is really a good news story,” an assessment that San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz scoffed at....

A real and good news story. Elaine Duke is a member of a presidential cabinet that does not even recognize the Climate Crisis. This expression of satisfaction with 'reality news' is not only negligent, but, a human rights violation. Why doesn't everyone just sit back and count the dead and dying instead of actually acting to protect people from THEIR PARTY'S HUGE, DANGEROUS AND DEADLY MISTAKES?!?

Acting to ignore real danger to the American people is not a competent administration. The Climate Crisis and it's aftermath is real danger to the American people.
