TEXAS HORROR: Demonic Democrats Scrambling to Blame Trump for the Deadly Texas Floods, Express Contempt and Scorn for the Victims

Speaking of the tragedy in Texas, it was dispiriting to see that the Democrats and many in the media created a hoax that the National Weather Service failed to warn that flash floods were coming due to staffing shortages. Neither claim was true, but that didn’t stop it spreading like wildfire. RNC Research: Following the tragic  news, Democrats over the weekend peddled grossly  false and disgusting  narratives in an attempt to politicize this natural disaster. Senator Chris Murphy: “There are consequences to Trump’s brainless attacks…” Democrat House Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Republicans spent months threatening to condition disaster assistance…” Texas Congressman Joaquin Castro : “I don’t think it’s helpful to have missing key personnel from the National Weather Service not in place to help prevent these tragedies.” Vermont Congresswoman Becca Balint: “We knew that these cuts would have deadly consequences.” Democrat Senate Leader Chuck Schumer even opened a partisan investigation.All of these attacks – attempting to blame these floods on the Trump administration and spending cuts – have one thing in common: they’re lies. The NWS said its “forecasting offices were operating normally at the time of the disaster.” Meteorologists say the National Weather Service did its job in Texas and even “had extra staff on duty during the storms.” Houston meteorologist Matt Lanza: “We have seen absolutely nothing to suggest that current staffing or budget issues within NOAA and the NWS played any role at all in this event. Anyone using this event to claim that is being dishonest.” CBS Austin Meteorologist Avery Tomasco: “The National Weather Service … did their job and they did it well.” Even far-left Ohio Democrat Nina Turner said that attempts by the left to capitalize on this tragedy were “morally bankrupt.” (RNC Research)

The Associated Press, WIRED, and many other publications looked into the allegations and all concluded that the accusations were false. (Associated Press, WIRED).

Social media may be the best place to get up-to-the-minute news about the flash flood tragedy in Texas, but along with the news, you get exposed to the best and the worst humanity has to offer.

The best: as the floods receded, people from around Texas and the region poured resources into the area. Starlink units were distributed and donations poured in. Stories of heroism spread like wildfire. New York Post: Coast Guard rescue swimmer Scott Ruskan saved 165 lives in the Texas flash floods. The 26-year-old, a former KPMG accountant, directed Army Blackhawk 60s and MH-65s to survivors and helped get them to safety, according to the New York Post. “Ruskan spearheaded a high-risk rescue mission under the worst possible environmental conditions, which in the end saw 165 brought to safety,” the NYP reported. “I’m just doing a job,” he told the NYP. (X, White House, New York Post).

Unfortunately, the Democrats were typically malicious, demonic and evil.

A raft of liberals spat bile at the victims, blaming them for their own misfortune because they live in a Trump-supporting area. Already, a pediatrician was fired for expressing vile sentiments about the victims. Mediaite: In a now-deleted post that was shared by screenshots on X, Propst, under her old Facebook username Chris Tina, wrote about the flooding and expressed apparent ill-will toward MAGA voters in affected areas, suggesting they should ‘get what they voted for.’ “May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry,” the original post read. “Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts.” (Mediaite)

There were plenty of similar posts from Democrats expressing disdain for the victims. Sentiments such as “they deserved it” and “Good, I’m glad” were scattered across social media. (X). This is not the first time that liberals have laughed at the misfortune of others. David Strom at Hot Air: The glee with which a certain kind of liberal responded to the tragedy is not an outlier–during COVID, liberals were quite open about their desire for conservatives to die. Democrats wanted to put vaccine skeptics in camps, take away their children, deny them health care (and in many cases did deny them health care–in many places you still can’t get an organ transplant without getting a COVID vaccine). Jimmy Kimmel famously joked that unvaccinated people with heart attacks should be left to die. (Hot Air).

Houston mayoral appointee Sade Perkins went off about the all-girls Christian camp just hours after Friday’s catastrophic flooding.

“I know I’m going to get cancelled for this, but Camp Mystic is a white-only girls’ Christian camp. They don’t even have a token Asian. They don’t have a token Black person. It’s an all-white, white-only conservative Christian camp,” Perkins said in a widely condemned video on her private TikTok account.

“If you ain’t white you ain’t right, you ain’t gettin’ in, you ain’t goin’. Period,” Perkins said.

They found sisters that didn’t make it still grasping hands. I’ve cried today. Two best friends & bunk mates also found. Thankfully, they’ve also reported finding two girls 27feet up in a tree alive. Utter devastation. My soul hurts. https://t.co/vny8RVjHt1

Malicious critics are scrambling to blame Trump for the deadly Texas floods

Donald Trump has been accused of many outlandish things, but killing children with flash floods has to be among the worst.

The first reflex of his critics was to blame him for the appalling tragedy in central Texas, where a flood on July 4 killed more than 100 people, including over two dozen children at a Christian summer camp.

This is one of the deadliest floods in the United States in the last 100 years, and the toll among kids is a particular gut punch.

It’s natural that observers will ask how it could have happened, but the fact-free, malicious attacks constitute one of the more poisonously stupid episodes of the Trump years — and that’s saying a lot.

The theory here is that Elon Musk’s chainsaw cuts to the National Weather Service gutted the agency with catastrophic consequences. See, Trump’s adversaries say, we told you DOGE would get people killed.

There were indeed staff reductions at the National Weather Service, totaling about 10%.

The idea, though, that this suddenly rendered the agency inoperable is absurd. (Trump’s budget proposes a very slight increase in funding for the NWS, by the way.)

In keeping with standard practice, the weather service in Texas surged extra staff as the storm gathered.

There is no doubt that the agency did its job. On Sunday, it noted the potential for heavy rainfall during the coming week.

A few days later, it was talking of the possibility of flooding Thursday, July 3. Then, on Thursday morning, it issued a flood-hazard outlook, followed in the afternoon by a flood watch.

As Thursday evening progressed, its communications grew steadily more alarming.

At 1:14 a.m. on Friday, it used a warning of “life-threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses.”

It said that the “flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly.” The warning triggered wireless emergency alerts.

At 4 a.m., it declared a flash flood emergency.

The private prediction service AccuWeather also issued warnings. It has said that these notices should have provided officials “ample time” for evacuations.

What happened?

It’s almost unfathomable how quickly the waters of the Guadalupe River rose, from 1 foot to 36 feet, according to one gauge, creating from seemingly out of nowhere a cataclysm of biblical proportions. (“And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.”)

The event happened in the middle of the night, when awareness is going to be limited.

And people naturally develop warning fatigue, assuming that the worst won’t actually happen or won’t affect them.

Texas and local communities would probably be well-served to adopt a tornado-type siren system to warn of imminent floods.

Another line of criticism of the Trump administration is that it doesn’t care about climate change, and such catastrophic floods — supposedly growing worse with more extreme rain events — are the inevitable result of global warming.

Yet, flooding is nothing new in this part of Texas known as “flash-flood alley.”

Weather maven Chris Martz points out that there were major floods of the Guadalupe River in 1838, 1869, 1906, 1921, 1932, 1936, 1952, 1978, 1987 and 1998.

It was the remnant of Tropical Storm Barry that fueled last week’s epochal rain, dumping 20 inches in spots.

According to the National Weather Service’s prediction center, it was the 20th time that a tropical cyclone or remnant led to 15 inches or more of rain in the interior of the state since 1913.

Martz notes that there has been no trend in the annual maximum one-day precipitation in Texas since 1895, and river floods have decreased in frequency in Texas Hill Country since 1965.

But the narratives are irresistible for anti-Trump partisans and their fellow-travelers in the media.
