The Biden administration has shown
repulsive indifference to the victims of the tragic Maui fires that have laid
waste to Lahaina and taken the lives of more than 100 people, with hundreds
more are still missing. On two separate occasions, when President Biden was
asked about the tragedy, he responded “No comment.” When he finally deigned to
interrupt his most recent vacations and make an hours-long appearance in
Lahaina, he told those who had lost everything that he could relate to them
because he once had a small kitchen fire in his home.
The entire episode was yet another
example of government ineptitude. Local officials made a series of
almost incomprehensible errors. Federal aid officials were discovered
staying in ritzy four and five-star hotels far from Lahaina even as that city’s
survivors lacked basic aid.
But, fortunately, the government of Hungary has stepped up
to provide shelter for 250 Maui families. Hungarian Ambassador to the United
States Szabolcs Takács issued a statement to Newsmax proclaiming that the
nation’s armed forces would provide pop-up homes for 250 Maui families by the
end of October, with the first shipment of 20 arriving within days. This
despite the fact that Hungary was reportedly the only European Union member
state that was not invited to Biden’s “Summit for Democracy” this year. Moreover,
Biden deemed Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán one of “the thugs in the
world” in 2020 while also attempting to assassinate the character of Donald
Trump, who was friendly with Orbán.
Perhaps
the reason Hungary can devote more attention—and resources-- to disaster
victims on the Hawaiian island of Maui than the Biden administration has thus
far done is because Orbán’s government is not entirely focused on pronoun
etiquette, climate change…and locking up its political opponents.
It has
never been clearer: Trump put America First, Biden puts America—and
Americans—last.
Let’s Go
