The FACTS are:
A monster storm named Hurricane Melissa is bearing down on Jamaica and the Caribbean with catastrophic strength — Category 5, winds near 160–175 mph, and up to 30–40 inches of rain expected.
Meanwhile, the U.S. has a massive military fleet — 8 warships, about 6,000 troops, dozens of aircraft — already in the region under Donald Trump’s drug-cartel mission.
The administration has cut foreign aid and dismantled disaster-response agencies like USAID, folding them into the State Department.
Now the question is: will the fleet switch gears and help storm victims, or keep chasing phantom drug boats for the cameras?
Even a retired Navy officer said this choice will show where their priorities really are.
So yes — they’ll probably say “well, it must be God’s will that some folks face hurricanes while others face cartels.”
But let’s be real: letting thousands suffer while pretending it’s divine providence isn’t God’s plan — it’s bad policy.
Here in Missouri, we’re about people, not photo-ops or holy-weekend excuses.
