FEMA’s apology tour is not going well

Remember when people in hurricane devastated North Carolina were saying that FEMA wasn’t helping them? 
And then later it came out that FEMA workers had actually been given a directive to skip over houses that had Trump flags or signs?

Well, now the woman responsible for the directive is on an apology tour of sorts, but instead of telling the American people how wrong she was, and how sorry and embarrassed she is for her actions, she’s trying to help us understand that she was just giving a directive that already fit in with FEMA’s rules that allow workers to leave homes where they have been threatened with physical harm.

Meaning that, in her mind, the very existence of people who support a different candidate than she did is literally the same as being threatened with a weapon or facing rabid or aggressive dogs.

So that’s where we are now. 

Nearly half the population is so brainwashed that they see absolutely nothing wrong with dehumanizing others based on their political affiliations, and then casually defending it on national television!

It’s no surprise that so many people are walking away from legacy media. 

People are tired of being vilified. They’re fed up with the endless demonization and division, and thankfully, they’re rejecting the double standard that says one kind of bigotry is permissible, even virtuous, while another is abhorrent. 

It’s hypocrisy. It’s evil. And people have had enough.

A few weeks ago I wrote about how FEMA was failing to help in North Carolina, and how private citizens and groups were doing the work instead. 

These people didn’t stop to check political affiliations or signs on lawns. They just helped. 

That’s the kind of society we should be working towards—one where we see our neighbors as, well, people, and where the idea of viewing them as dangerous animals who present a threat to us because they simply exist is unimaginable because it’s so ridiculous.

Of course achieving that kind of unity requires us to break free from the collective mindset that the mainstream media depends on for its survival. 

It means thinking for ourselves and recognizing that, here in the real world, community isn’t built through fear-mongering and division. It’s built through genuine human connection and a willingness to do what’s right, even for people who don’t think like us.

That’s why I’m so passionate about the work we do. 

Our books are so much more than just stories—they’re tools that help kids (and their parents) learn to think critically, understand the world around them, and see beyond the surface-level narratives that are so often pushed by mainstream voices who prosper off our fear and misery. 

If we want to build a future where people aren’t afraid to do what’s right, it starts with what we teach our children today.

I’m encouraged to see that legacy media ratings are plummeting.

People are sick of the lies and division and manipulation. They’re turning to resources that empower them to think freely and to test and engage with ideas outside the echo chambers and scripts of the TV talking heads.

If you’re ready to start fostering that kind of independent thinking in your home, now is a great time to check out the Tuttle Twins books. 

They’re great tools to help families remember that we don’t have to accept the narratives we’re fed.  

They’re resources that empower the rising generation with the courage and knowledge they need to shape their own futures. 

The media leviathan is dying. 

Finally. 

It’s a good day for America.
