President Biden on Monday approved New York’s major-disaster declaration, a move that will funnel federal relief dollars to local governments and homeowners ravaged by Hurricane Ida’s devastating flooding last week.
Gov. Kathy Hochul asked the White House for the declaration Sunday while noting that Ida’s financial hit to the state could involve “multi-multimillions” of dollars — up to $50 million.
“I saw the devastation of New Yorkers who lost so much from this storm, and I pledged that we would do everything in our power to help them rebuild,” Hochul said in a statement Monday.
“I thank President Biden and FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell for their swift approval of a Major Disaster Declaration, which provides a promise that we will build back better and stronger.
“I look forward to touring disaster areas with President Biden tomorrow and will continue to work with FEMA and our members of Congress to ensure New Yorkers get the relief they need from the devastating impacts of this horrible storm,” she said.
Biden will visit Queens on Tuesday to tour neighborhoods hit hard by the storm. At least 13 people died in New York City during Ida — nearly all after becoming trapped in basements in Queens and Brooklyn.

Clean the dam drains studid city managers !
Why isn’t he doing presidential stuff like playing golf, praising himself or tweeting?
Sleepy Joe is doing all right. Better than the clown who was going to MAGA, before he decided that golf was more fun.

I'm meeting the Queen? But Joe Brown is on.
Everything he touches is a complete disaster. His dementia is so bad at this point I'm surprised he even remembers that the storm happened last week.
This is caused by the poor management of the Democrats.
All the money that pours into NYC and it goes into programs building up the Democratic Party base, not into the city, and putting near illiterate Democrats in charge of running the city's machinery.
Thanks, Democrats. Hope the rest of the country takes this as an example of what happens when you take over. Goes right up there with pictures of destroying California.
Sleepy Joe inspecting this. What a joke.

This is the best that DemocRats can do? Try again.

Bidens Hidden Scandal: DHS Loses Track of Almost 5,000 "Migrant" Children
Biden is terrible at pulling out. Look at Hunter.
When Beijing-Biden said Build Back Better, he clearly meant using fuck-ups and scandals as the brick and mortar!
Biden: I was a school bus driver before I was cutting up more trees damaged by hurricanes than Delaware.
Biden has been lying to the American people !
America doesn’t leave people behind, Joe Biden does.
If Joe Biden's lips are moving he's lying.
Everyone that supported Biden should be ashamed of themselves.
It is better to be thought a fool than to support Democrat and remove all doubt!
Biden’s agenda is so bad that even Australia which has become a Prison State is bad mouthing America
Even Forest Gump knew to go back for Bubba and Lieutenant Dan.
"Sleepy Joe is doing all right" ?
But according to polls only 39 percent of Americans think he's doing a good job!
He's taking care of the Sheeple who "VOTED" for him !
This is nothing more than a modern day grift!!!
Sleepy Joe is doing all right. The guy is a fucking potted plant what can't put 3 words together. If all these people and news media swooning over him could only see it.
The main street media outlets should be ashamed of them selves . They act more like Pravda or the media in North Korea.
Only if we had a Wealth Tax all would be good ! Right Leftoids ?
I feel like NYC is beyond repair -- just like the Biden administration.

Democrats have their large base in corrupt big city political machines like NYC.
Loyalty to the party is their main criteria.
This explains the dysfunctional Biden administration.
Look at the big American cities, you can see where the problems come from.
You know you screwed up when you make Jimmy Carter look like a decent president !
Demorats just buying more votes from the brainwashed !
#DemExit #Walkaway
The Usurper in Chief is all heart!
And no brain.
Biden is a network TV sock puppet for the ruling class. He has the same mental acuity as the hamsters in a Rego Park pet shop.
@"Prove Me Wrong said..."
You are usually wrong, why would this time be any different?
The Democrats are corrupt, but not nearly as corrupt as the traitorous Republicans.
The reason that people vote Democrat in NYC or any other place is that the Republicans are so damned awful. They want to take us back to the middle ages. Republicans make the Taliban look like intelligent fair minded human beings.
@"The main street media outlets should be ashamed of them selves . They act more like Pravda or the media in North Korea."
How?
After the last clown even a dead cat would be better. But sleepy Joe is doing an excellent job. 4 more years.

Please stop making Trump out to be worse than he was. He's very sensitive about these things.
Give me Sleepy Joe over a Trumpturd any day.
Be thankful he's screwing up.
It makes it easier for him to resign along with his side-kick Hidden Harris.
Not to mention finally getting rid of the Fauci Ouchie.
By-the-way...where is Kamala? Still in Singapore?
Won't be long now......
Amazing how a guy his age can be such a great president even while sleeping.
Makes the last guy look like Herbert Hoover.

Responding to a leftist is pointless, they are either going to block/ignore you or they will just dishonestly take your arguments and make strawmen out of you.
I was previously a socialist, but I lost a debate so bad, I abandoned socialism.
I hereby invoke Poe's Law.
Give me Sleepy Joe over a Trumpturd any day.
Because ..... ?

I've seen your "Prove Me Wrong" nonsense before. You are always wrong. You are so wrong about everything. You probably invested all your money in stocks the day before Black Monday in 1987, and again on the day before the 2008 crash. You probably still own a Betamax player. When you go to the track and bet on the favorite, the bookies raise the odds as they know it's a sure loser. When you tell people that it's a nice day outside, they get their coats and umbrellas. When you order at a restaurant, everybody else orders something else. When you give people directions, they instinctively take a different route.
Lets face it, you are life's ultimate loser. Sad.
Trumpty 💩Dumpty punished NYS by doing NOTHING during his “presidency”!
Boy, are you complained ....shall we say DENSE or simply stupid!

Spare us of your Communist vision.
Care to tell us where 2.3 Trillion dollars went in 20 years time in Afghanistan?
Care to tell us where all the money goes in NYS and NYC where people pay high taxes?
@Lets face it, you are life's ultimate loser. Sad.
Seems you are the loser and listed your failures in life.

Back flow from neglected sewer system now is a climate event.
The rest is just pure globalist garbage propaganda.
If we keep picking sides and vilifying everyone else who doesn't agree with us then no one wins and our country loses. This is getting old. Grow up Dems.
@"Care to tell us where 2.3 Trillion dollars went in 20 years time in Afghanistan?"
Thanks to warmongers like you who cheered on the war 20 years ago. Just because you got bored with it now doesn't excuse your stupidity.
I remember back then when anyone who opposed the crazy wars was labeled a communist, bleeding heart liberal, unpatriotic etc.
Now the same clowns who wanted the war are trying to rebrand this as something they didn't want.
Go back to your cave and keep watching Fox. You've been proven wrong too many times, but your two brain cells still haven't caught on.
@Thanks to warmongers like you who cheered on the war 20 years ago.
Talking to the wrong people bozo.
Remember the Nobel Prize winner?
He launched airstrikes or military raids in at least seven countries: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.
How quick you forget, maybe we have 2 brain cells, but you have none.
What is Fox? Are you living in a forest?
Try reading for a change, read official documents, the answers are all there.
Pushing the commie propaganda eh? Just remember is a big club and you ain't in it.
Smaller Government = Larger Profits for Corporations and Non-Tax Paying Billionaires
*Thanks to warmongers like you who cheered on the war 20 years ago*
Cheered what war? Were you there asshole to see who cheered when?
Were did the money go in 20 years under both (D) and (R) Presidents? Where?
Talk about facts if you can. Educate yourself serf, plenty of books, articles on Bush, Clinton, CIA and Mena. See how things work in the real life.
After real journalists brought up the question of wars and who is benefiting from them he got in a very spectacular car crash and got labeled as a "drunk", "drug addict".
