Our America is gone, many now sleep on the streets in the US while we send our "help" to the state of Israel in order for them to steal more Palestinian land and build more houses.

US authorities say current laws have prevented emergency staff from providing aid and assisting with cleanup efforts after a series of massive storms swept through central United States.
Officials from Pottawatomie County in the US State of Oklahoma said this weekend that current legislation has stalled cleanup efforts including the recovery of a destroyed mobile home park, three weeks after an EF-4 tornado struck the state.
The county itself cannot remove debris from the park, but śif the people can get their debris to the county easements, then by law we can pick up all the rubble and debris and everything,” said Randy Thomas, the Pottawatomie County Commissioner.
Officials are prevented from providing aid to privately held companies including cleanup and sanitation organizations as well as water supply systems – which remain damaged.
County officials negotiated with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to develop a plan to bring private contractors to clear the debris. However, officials rejected providing aid to non-profit and volunteer organizations.
śBecause we are a nonprofit association, we cannot receive any help from (the) county or state, even though we pay our taxes,” said Michael Bowen, the president of the mobile home park™s homeowners association.
On May 19, at least 19 tornadoes swept through the US states of Oklahoma, Kansas and Iowa, killing at least two people and injuring several others.
An EF-4 tornado struck the US state of Texas on May 15, killing several people and injuring more than 100 residents.
