The Last Refuge
"Without a fully repentant apology from Tucker Carlson toward Franklin Graham and the entire Samaritan’s Purse organization, I will never highlight anything from him again. This time he has just gone too far.

"Apparently, Tucker Carlson thought it would be a good idea to use his platform to attack Franklin Graham, Samaritan’s Purse and the faith-based community. Tucker Carlson made a big mistake.
:There are situations that we sometimes have a great deal of familiarity with. The work of Samaritan’s Purse and Franklin Graham is one of those situations for me. Readers here will know of my time spent as a CERT volunteer during national disasters, most of which involve hurricane relief.
"I have worked closely with Samaritan’s purse, spent time inside that organization and know the scale of assistance they provide. They are, quite simply, the single most effective emergency response mission in our nation.
"On his podcast, Tucker Carlson and guest “Bro” Nathan Apffel spin a conspiracy tale that’s wildly out of touch with reality.
"At the same time, they mock Christianity and Christian beliefs while taking aim at Franklin Graham, accusing him, among other things, of profiting from the Samaritan’s Purse mission.
You can watch Carlson and Apffel HERE. I’m not going to promote it, because it is sick, twisted, very dark and full of flat out lies.
"Carlson even goes as far as to claim: Franklin Graham has a billionaire doomsday bunker in Alaska which he created from the donations to the organization, Samaritan’s purse has a $2.5 billion war chest and ownership of private airplanes worth $15o million which Graham and his leadership use for personal travel and self-enrichment.
"Let me be very specific and very clear, every single thing they claim is false; demonstrably false and easily disproven for anyone who spent even five-minutes looking at the IRS filings of the organization [SEE HERE].
"Why Tucker Carlson would choose to attack Franklin Graham and Samaritan’s Purse is a bewildering question. President Trump’s decision to ostracize Carlson from any contact with the White House completely makes sense now." . . . More...
From the comments to this post: "I live on Grandfather Mountain which was significantly affected by Hellene. The first and most effective responders were from Samaritan’s Purse. As FEMA, the National Guard, utility companies were missing in action for days to weeks to months, Samaritan’s Purse and locals were out within hours. Many in this region will reflect the same experiences. Thanks especially to Samaritan’s Purse."
Another: "I have a background in SAR and disaster recovery. I’ve volunteered with Samaritan’s Purse, run disaster teams, and done all the other labor involved with hurricanes & flooding, etc. I donated to SP prior to volunteering. So when I did volunteer, I expected to be disappointed with the inner workings of the org. Actually it was the complete opposite, I was blown away at how well they were run and the excellent knowledge, expertise and equipment they brought to the table. They are way ahead of FEMA and all other disaster orgs I’ve worked with/around. Now, having said that, I’d also like to give a big shout out to the Southern Baptist Men’s disaster org which is also impressive just on a much smaller scale. "
As for the Democrat Biden Administration: FEMA Chief Admits: 'We Skipped Trump Supporters' Homes During Hurricane Relief Efforts - EconoTimes "FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell acknowledged that disaster response teams bypassed homes displaying support for President-elect Donald Trump during recent hurricane relief operations. This admission has ignited a firestorm of controversy, raising concerns about political bias within federal emergency services."

Whom do we trust now, Democratic FEMA or Samaritans Purse?
