I know one hell of a lot more about how things work than do you.

My point stands and it is corroborated, Pelosi has nothing to do with the diversion of troops or funds. Period


Quote:
In a recent memo to Navy Secretary Richard Spencer, Commandant Gen. Robert Neller cited, among other “negative factors,” the diversion of resources to the border, where the Trump administration has sent active-duty troops to patrol and plans to use military funding to pay for a wall.

In a statement to NBC News, Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., said it is “unacceptable” that “Camp Lejeune and other North Carolina military bases are still waiting on disaster relief we first requested last fall.”



That's on Trump.

You are badly misinformed bout how FEMA is funded

https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/arti...-recovery/


Quote:
Where does FEMA get its money?

In its regular course of business, Congress each year sends two pots of money to FEMA’s disaster relief fund, the nation’s main disaster relief bank account.

The first pot, known as base funding, is the smaller of the two. It’s based on a formula pegged to ordinary FEMA operations and more routine events. In fiscal 2017, base funding was $615 million.

The second pot of money Congress gives FEMA is much bigger. Called Major Declarations, it’s based on how much was spent on disaster relief in the past decade. In fiscal 2017, that appropriation was $6.7 billion.

Together, base and major declaration funding totaled $7.3 billion in fiscal 2017. (FEMA can also carry over any unspent funds from the previous year.)

That may sound like a lot of money. But compared with an estimate by Moody’s Analytics, which places the combined damage from hurricanes Harvey and Irma at $150 billion to $200 billion, it’s a drop in the bucket.

Additional money from Congress

So what happens when disaster recovery outstrips FEMA funding?

The task then falls to Congress to release more money, in the form of supplemental appropriations.

Lawmakers did just that on Sept. 8 when they approved more than $15 billion for additional Harvey relief. That includes the following:

•$7.4 billion for FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund


•$7.4 billion in Community Development Block Grant funding, which is administered through the Department of Housing and Urban Development


•$450 million for the Small Business Administration's Disaster Loan Program
