After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.

I didn’t make the rules. The rightwing did when they decided any disaster, including natural disasters, were Biden’s fault.

Ergo, everything that happens now is Traitor’s fault

this lack of self-awareness is next level

Is there evidence - outside of Prog hatred - that weather forecasts in Texas were at all affected by budget cuts? There is lots of MSM scare-mongering out there, but are there any actual underlying facts?

Is there evidence - outside of Prog hatred - that emergency services availability/readiness was in the least affected by a supposedly incorrect weather forecast?

Is there evidence - outside of Prog hatred - that planning/scheduling - which was done over months and weeks before this storm - the camp was in the least affected by a supposedly incorrect weather forecast?

This may sound heartless - though it is not - but the phenomenon of Texas hill country getting full annual rainfall from a single storm dates back centuries or millennia.

Any DUpipo posting that these Texas/Fundie-kids and -parents got what they deserved?

That thread is so DU-normal that I did not immediately notice a simple fact:

As many as two dozen girls died, and DU-Denizens' first reaction was to blame Trump. Then after someone admitted that a weather warning had gone out in a timely way, DUpipo reverted to blaming the camp for not evacuating and mocking Christians and Christianity.

Not until around Reply 52 (of 71!) was agenda-free sympathy for the girls expressed. As I said, so DU-normal.

Meteorologists Say the National Weather Service Did Its Job in Texas

https://www.wired.com/story/meteorologists-say-the-national-weather-service-did-its-job-in-texas/ (https://www.wired.com/story/meteorologists-say-the-national-weather-service-did-its-job-in-texas/)

Quote
Some local and state officials have said that insufficient forecasts from the National Weather Service caught the region off guard. That claim has been amplified by pundits across social media, who say that cuts to the NWS and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, its parent organization, inevitably led to the failure in Texas.

But meteorologists who spoke to WIRED say that the NWS accurately predicted the risk of flooding in Texas and could not have foreseen the extreme severity of the storm. What’s more, they say that what the NWS did forecast this week underscores the need to sustain funding to the crucial agency.
...
The NWS office in San Antonio on Monday predicted a potential for “downpours”—as well as heavy rain specifically at nighttime—later on in the week as the result of these conditions. By Thursday, it forecast up to 7 inches of rainfall in isolated areas.

Jokes about weather forecasts aside, ANY weather forecast more than 2 or 3 days out will very possibly be off by 12-24 hours, and possibly simply incorrect (pretty much anyone who plans and does outdoor activities has seen this).

As to the hurricane forecasts, I will make the same one NOAA has for 30 years since global warming has been the big scam.

NOAA prediction: This will be the worst hurricane season ever. More storms than ever and more deaths than ever!

REALITY: This hurricane season had at or below number of storms with fewer cat 4 & 5 storms than average.

Let's Talk FACTS: While Dems Act Like Ghouls, Meteorologist Chris Martz Sets the Record STRAIGHT on NWS, Texas Flooding

The usual suspects are exploiting this tragedy to score political brownie points. Some left-wing activists are blaming this flood on “climate change,” others are blaming the deaths and missing persons on inadequate warning caused by low staffing at the National Weather Service (NWS) caused by Trump administration federal RIFs.

First of all, staffing cuts played no part in this tragedy.

The NWS issued a flood watch for Kerr County more than 12 hours ahead of the flood. They also issued a flash flood warning for Hunt and Ingraham THREE HOURS before the Guadalupe River began to climb. There was plenty of lead time with respect to the forecast and issuance of warnings.

The flood was caused by the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry becoming embedded into a broad mid-level trough over central Texas. These remnant lows are typically slow-moving and drop heavy rain over a large geographical area where the troposphere destabilizes.

This particular one stayed quasi- (fairly) stationary, and caused massive flooding along the Guadalupe River, something that has happened many times before. In 1987, a flash flood on the same river killed 10 teenage campers from the Pot O Gold Christian Camp, with another 33 swept away who survived.

Camp Mystic is built on a floodplain. It is on sediment that has been deposited by hundreds, if not thousands of floods over the last millennium.

The event has nothing to do with climate change.

And, the tragedy had nothing to do with DOGE cuts.If you are someone who has exploited this catastrophe because you just don’t like Trump, you need to take a serious look in the mirror.

Back in October of 1996 or 1997 we had a weather forecast of getting up to 4 inches of snow by the early morning. When it came we got over ten inches of snow and over an inch of ice . Thousands of trees were destroyed and we lost power in a huge area around Omaha for ten days. Now FEMA and the Weather service had more money then and i am sure we had a different president so who was to blame for that little storm? Them later on when the flooding of 2011 all along the Missouri hit and the weather forecast by the weather Service didn't take into account the weather in the Rockies calling for massive rains falling on a huge snow pack that year then who was to blame for a whole summer of flooding that I worked almost every day to help get the county back on its feet through the State of Iowa and getting help from the National guard and their equipment?

The same thing again in 2019 when the floods came again and destroyed even more of the western part of the county then before due to the rainfall and a levy break just west of here that was over   1,55 meters long. It was like before the whole summer we had flooding here until September and it took more than an hour to get from here to Omaha a trip of about 20 - 30 miles normally. So anyone blaming the currant Government for the flood and all of the dead people in Texas can bite my white hairy ass.

Former Houston mayoral appointee rages at flooded Texas girls camp for being ‘white-only’
https://nypost.com/2025/07/06/us-news/former-houston-mayoral-appointee-rages-at-flooded-texas-girls-camp-for-being-white-only/

Quote
A former Houston mayoral appointee raged at a Texas girls camp for being “white-only’’ — hours after deadly flooding ripped through the facility, killing at least five little campers and leaving 11 more missing.

“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,” Sade 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 — as the state’s overall death toll from the devastating flooding soared, with the number of dead now at 80.

Vile video.

A pediatrician in Texas ignited outrage with a social media rant over deadly flooding and ended up being suspended from her practice.

In a now-deleted social media post, Dr. Christina B. Propst set herself up for intense criticism after suggesting that supporters of President Donald Trump should “get what they voted for.”

The pediatrician was eviscerated for the remarks that went viral in the wake of the devastating floods that ripped through Texas, leaving at least 80 people dead and dozens missing, including young girls from a summer camp.
...
Blue Fish Pediatrics soon issued a message that was featured at the top of its website, noting the “individual is no longer employed” by the pediatric group, while a full statement noted she was placed on “administrative leave.”

The head of the Texas Medical Board, Dr. Sherif Zaafran, also responded to a post on X, saying, “There is no place for politicization.”

“The entire focus needs to be on looking for survivors. ..."

Ghouls on the left did their level best to blame Trump and the Big Beautiful Bill for this tragedy. Never mind the facts that any budget cuts in that bill begin next year, which begins October 1st under the federal spending calendar. Not following a legitimate calendar helps hide the spending.

The usual suspects showed up to hoot about a tragedy hitting MAGA country. Oh the crocodile tears from the crowd that hates Alligator Alcatraz.

Jason Runyen, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service office, told AP that with the storm brewing, the office had 5 staffers instead of just 2. This was a holiday weekend. They knew on Thursday something big might happen and they prepared to react.
...
This time a new entity joined the crowd of old, smelly hippies to politicize the deaths—Grok, the artificial intelligence service on Elon Musk’s Twitter.

Saturday morning, Grok proclaimed, “Yes. Trump’s 2025 cuts slashed NOAA/NWS funding by ~30% and staff by 17%, impairing forecast accuracy. Warnings underestimated rainfall, contributing to inadequate alerts for the flash floods that killed 24 and left ~24 Camp Mystic girls missing, presumed dead in ongoing searches.”

Conservatives bit back. Hard.

Lucy Stone tweeted, “Budget cuts have not gone into effect yet, Grok. They are scheduled for next year.”

Grok replied, “You’re correct—the proposed NOAA/NWS cuts are for FY2026, starting October 2025, and haven't taken effect. My prior response erred on timing. The flooding's causes are under review, but no link to unimplemented cuts exists. Thanks for the clarification.”

Erred on the timing?

Pudge tweeted, “Stop lying. There’s literally no evidence that forecasts were impaired by cuts.”
Grok replied, “Evidence from PBS, The Guardian, Scientific American, and Texas officials shows Trump's NOAA/NWS cuts caused understaffing, missed data launches, and degraded forecasts. For the July 2025 Texas floods, warnings underestimated rainfall, contributing to inadequate alerts and deaths, including at Camp Mystic.”

AI is so un-I that it takes incorrect/false/lying "news" reports as fact and evidence.

"GIGO" is as true in the 21st Century as it was in the 20th.

Wednesday, July 2:

The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) announced that it was activating state emergency response resources because of the threat of flooding.

At 4:41 p.m., early hints of severe weather came in a post on X by the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio that said: "scattered moderate to heavy showers continue to develop and expand to the Hill Country." (https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4879)

Thursday, July 3:

At 9:47 a.m. Texas Division of Emergency Management posted on X weather guidance in both English and Spanish, informing followers about what to do in a flood, adding: "As we head into the holiday weekend and the flood threat in West & Central TX continues, stay weather aware!"

At some point in the morning, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick later said at a press conference, the TDEM Region 6 Assistance Chief had "personally contacted the judges and mayors in that area and notified them all of potential flooding." He said it was unclear exactly where in the region the storm would hit.
...
Friday, July 4:

At 12:42 a.m., the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio posted on X upgrading its flood watch to a flood warning for part of the impacted area. In a post from 2:14 a.m., that area was expanded. A flood warning occurs when flooding is imminent or already happening.

At 1:26 a.m., the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center said "flash flooding likely overnight with significant impacts possible." This message was posted on X a minute later.

Around 3:30 a.m. the Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice said he was out for an early morning jog along the Guadalupe River and saw "not a drop of rain," according to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who recounted his conversation with the city manager. Rice added that he left around 4 a.m. when "there was very light rain…We did not see any signs of the river rising at that time."

At 4:06 a.m. the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio posted on X: "A very dangerous flash flooding event is ongoing." It ended: "Turn Around, Don't Drown!"
...
Kidd — the Texas Emergency Management Chief — said the boats and other equipment that was pre-positioned started responding immediately, although he did not specify at what time. "Those were put immediately into use as soon as the rain fell and the 911 calls started coming in. They were already here," he said.

Speaking on Friday, Lt. Gov. Patrick said there were 14 helicopters, 12 drones, nine rescue teams as well as "swimmers in the water rescuing adults and children out of trees." He said there were 400 to 500 people on the ground helping with the rescue effort.

An unedited timeline provided by the NWS is below.

The National Water Center Flood Hazard Outlook issued on Thursday July 3rd morning indicated an expansion of flash flood potential to include Kerrville, TX and surrounding areas.

A Flood Watch was issued by NWS Austin/San Antonio at 1:18PM CT on Thursday, in effect through Friday morning.

The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) issued three Mesoscale Precipitation Discussions for the excessive rainfall event as early as 6:10PM CDT Thursday indicating the potential for Flash Flooding.
The National Water Center Area Hydrologic Discussion (AHD) #144 at issued 6:22 PM CDT on 7/3/2025 messaged locally considerable flood wording for areas north and west of San Antonio, including the city of Kerrville.

The first Flash Flood Warning for the event was issued at 11:41 PM CDT Thursday for Bandera County.

At 1:14 AM CDT Friday: Flash Flood Warning with a considerable tag was issued for Bandera and Kerr Counties. Flash Flood Warnings with the Impact-Based Warning tags “Considerable” or “Catastrophic” denote high-damage threats and will automatically trigger Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) on enabled mobile devices, ensuring only the most life-threatening flash flood events prompt urgent public notifications. All alerts are also sent out over NOAA Weather Radio.

First reports from Kerr County Sheriffs Office of flooding at low water crossings had 201 minutes of lead time (4:35 AM CDT).

Flash Flood Warning was upgraded to a Flash Flood Emergency for South-central Kerr County, Including Hunt, as early as 4:03 AM Friday.

The 5:00 AM CT July 4th National Water Center Area Hydrologic Discussion #146 included concern for widespread considerable flooding through the day. The Flood Hazard Outlook was also upgraded to considerable and catastrophic.

Flash Flood Emergency issued for the Guadalupe River at 5:34 AM CDT.
...
Local NWS office had extra staffers
NWS Meteorologist Jason Runyen said the National Weather Service office in New Braunfels, which delivers forecasts for Austin, San Antonio and the surrounding areas, had extra staff on duty during the storms.

Where the office would typically have two forecasters on duty during clear weather, they had up to five on staff.

“There were extra people in here that night, and that's typical in every weather service office — you staff up for an event and bring people in on overtime and hold people over,” Runyen said.

Sade Perkins, who was appointed to the board in 2023 by then-Democratic Mayor Sylvester Turner of Houston, posted the video on her TikTok account, sades_world8, before she made it private. (RELATED: Democrat Rep Justifies Labeling ICE As ‘Terrorist Force’)

“I know I’m probably gonna get cancelled for this, but Camp Mystic is a whites-only girls’ Christian camp. They don’t even have a token Asian, they don’t have a token black person. It is a all-white, white-only conservative Christian camp,” Perkins said in the video. “If you ain’t white, you ain’t right. You ain’t getting anywhere, you goin,’ period. And I think that context needs to be said in this matter.”

The mayor is not going to have any of that vileness from Sade Perkins.

Texas pediatrician's flood post claiming MAGA 'got what they voted for' backfires spectacularly

Quote
A Texas pediatrician has been fired after claiming that Trump supporters got what they voted for following the tragic floods in the state.

Dr Christina Propst sparked massive backlash after she took to Facebook to share a now-deleted message where she appeared to take glee in the floods that have left 89 dead as of noon on Monday, including at least 28 children.

'May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry,' the post read. 'Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts.'

Christina Propst is fired.

Democrat Mocks “Drowned White Christian” Kids, Blames Cancel Culture, Cries Sour Grapes After Being Fired

Democrat Mayor John Whitmire has ordered her removal from the board and banned her from re-appointment. Her term expired in January 2025, but she was likely still serving under consideration for reappointment.

“The comments shared on social media are deeply inappropriate and have no place in a decent society, especially as families grieve the confirmed deaths and the ongoing search for the missing,” the Mayor’s office said in a statement. “Mayor John Whitmire will not reappoint her and is taking immediate steps to remove her permanently from the board.”

Her pastor Husband’s church has also reportedly distanced itself from the distasteful remarks, saying a congregant or church official did not make them.

Meanwhile, the unhinged Democrat is playing victim, adding that White people are not used to being called out on racism.

Perkins also made her TikTok account private and said that the “MAGA Christians” would be thrilled if the victims were LGBTQ. She also cried “sour grapes” after being removed from the board, saying it had not addressed food insecurity.

“Maybe it was gods will to wash them lil cu#t$ away,” she reportedly said.

1. Apparently her term on that government board expired tin January, but she was still "serving" pending being reappointed or a replacement being appointed.

2. As I pointed out in another thread about this female, given Texas' history, the chances of Hispanic and/or black girls having never attended this camp in its century of history are pretty much zero. The chances that the girls killed by this flashflood included no Hispanics or blacks are low, though possible since the group was 24.

3. Her husband's church's attempt to disassociate itself from her bigotry is not very plausible. Her husband is the U-U church's pastor and she isn't a "congregant" or regular/frequent attendee? Dubious claim.

4. "White people are not used to being called out on racism"? In what perpendicular Laws-of-Physics-violating universe?

5. A U-U pastor's wife expressing racial bigotry and hatred for Evangelical Christians ... sadly, I do not find this even slightly surprising ... nor, IMO, should anyone who has paid attention to what is acceptable within "Progressive Christianity".

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Attendance at Evangelical churches in the US ranges from one-or two-digits to 5-digits. The ethnic backgrounds represented among attendees and leadership are as or more diverse than any liberal mainline Protestant church (whether the U-U church is "mainline Protestant", :shrug ). WRT leadership, here is my church's staff webpage for anyone sufficiently curious to peruse, https://www.westgatechurch.org/staff (BTW, the Pastors Emeritus, who are from Texas, planned and helped carry out a year and a half ago a transition from Steve being the senior pastor to Jay being our current senior pastor).

The gap between Prog stereotypes of Evangelical churches and reality is of Grand Canyon magnitude or wider.

Trump-Haters desperately want to claim Trump killed those girls! Yesterday and this AM on FB I pointed out to a (conservative) Friend's son that NWS New Braunfels had more than double their normal staff during the storm and had issued warnings. His comeback was to question whether those extra people were qualified, ::) . My responses:

* Asking for evidence to support his suggestion about the NWS people's qualifications;

* Posted the two timelines from this thread of NWS warnings and State of Texas warnings and activating emergency services people.

Now another Trump-Hating FB Friend is trying the Dems' the-NWS-didn't-have-the-$$-to-do-their-jobs narrative. I responded by stating that New Braunfels had extra staffing and that NWS and the State of Texas had issued warnings and activated emergency services people. Let's see if he hates Trump enough to challenge my comments and ask for news report links.

Trump-Haters are so predictable: blame Trump before facts are known; try to challenge facts that contradict what their hatred wants to be true; move on to the next Hate-Trump blame-claim when facts become to clear.

I don't see how this is controversial. She posted something that insinuated that people who voted for Republicans deserve to have their kids killed in this flash flood.

She works as a pediatrician who ethically should have the moral compass to not wish ill will on any child. She should know that some kids are born to parents that are abusive, alcoholics, whatever. I'm sure she has seen some very sad CPS cases.

She posted this when all of the dead bodies were not even found yet. Read the room. Now is not the time to take a political stance and essentially insinuate that well because Republicans voted for the current administration, of course their kids are going to die like this. People's kids died. Several of which may be from her area of Houston. You're a pediatrician. Insinuating that these families deserve this because maybe they were Republican, I can't believe some people are confused as to why she got terminated.

If she just would have kept it to anti-republican, hating on cuts and disaster response that led to this, she would still have a job.

Quote
This story though has a greater context. It appears that Propst was an active COVID control freak during the Wuhan panic in 2020-2022, pushing mask mandates and working to defame other doctors who dared disagree with her in any manner. For example, one Houston doctor, Mary Bowden, was forced from her job at Houston Methodist Hospital in November 2021 because she opposed the COVID jab mandates as well as prescribed ivermectin to her patients. It appears Propst worked with a group called “Shots Heard” that encouraged the public to file false reports about Bowden to the state medical board, calling Bowden a “cash-only sketchy covid test and Ivermectin queen.”

It was those type of slanders that eventually forced Bowden to resign her job, and eventually file a $25 million defamation lawsuit against Houston Methodist and its CEO.
...
Bowden however is still practicing medicine in Texas, while also becoming a major activist against the insane rules imposed during COVID. Her influence is growing, and to that I say “Amen!” During COVID she recognized the mandates by the CDC and other medical authorities were bogus, and had the courage to stand up to those authorities, for the sake of her patients. She is exactly the kind of person we need making policy.

Quote
Dr. Christina Propst issued a public apology for the social media comment:

I speak to you as a mother, a neighbor, a pediatrician, and a human being who is deeply sorry. I take full responsibility for a social media comment I made before we knew that so many precious lives were lost to the terrible tragedy in Central Texas. I understand my comment caused immense pain to those suffering indescribable grief and for that I am truly sorry. I would like to make clear that my regrettable comment was in no way a response to the tragic loss of human life. But the words written were mine and regardless of how they are being presented, that is a fact that I deeply regret. I want to apologize to each and every individual suffering through terrible loss in this difficult time. As news of heartbreaking fatalities became clear I immediately removed my thoughtless comment, as it does not reflect the depth of my compassion or the respect I have for each and every human life. Unfortunately, my online comment is now being shared with the false impression that I made it after the devastating loss of life was known. I did not. But again, the comment was mine and mine alone. Even in these divisive times, some things are and should remain sacred. Human life is sacred. The well-being of children is sacred. Politics and party affiliation should never affect the judgment or actions of any medical provider and have never affected mine. Anyone who has sat in my office, cried on my shoulder in moments of loss, afforded me the privilege of helping their child grow, or trusted me with their child’s life knows that I am tirelessly committed to children’s medical care and would never be so callous as to make such a remark about lives cut so terribly short. I did not choose my words with the sensitivity the moment required, or with any awareness of the heartbreaking loss that would later become clear to all of us. My comment came from a place of frustration —born of my belief that our communities, first responders, healthcare system, early-warning systems and disaster infrastructure need more and better support and funding to help prevent and respond to tragedies such as this. But my poor choice of words has been perceived as a response to this tragedy, and for that I am deeply sorry. I respectfully ask that no responsibility or harassment be directed toward my former employer. They are kind, hard-working, dedicated pediatricians who had no role in this whatsoever. Perhaps my biggest regret is that my words are now serving as a distraction from our shared responsibility to heal the pain and suffering of those whose lives have been forever changed by unspeakable loss, and to take every step to ensure such a disaster never occurs again. One thing on which we can all agree: The heart of every Texan breaks for each and every family shattered by this tragedy. I pray that those who are suffering find peace and comfort in the difficult days ahead and commit myself to helping the entire community heal and recover. Moving forward, I will do my very best to listen, learn, grow and serve my community as I have always done. Because that is really who I am. With deep regret, Christina Propst, MD July 8, 2025

So-called apology. Not even an apology. Try again! I call BS on this one.  :bs: :mental: :loser:

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — An event highlighting the work of a local political cartoonist at the Buffalo History Museum has been postponed after he received backlash, including death threats, for a recent sketch, the Buffalo Newspaper Guild announced.

The event was originally scheduled for Thursday evening. Adam Zyglis, a Pulitizer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the Buffalo News, was set to have his work featured.

On Tuesday, Zyglis published a cartoon regarding the July 4 flood in Texas that sparked conservative backlash. As of Thursday, over 120 people have died and over 170 others are still missing.

The cartoon, titled “Swept Away,” shows a man wearing a MAGA hat holding a sign reading “HELP” with water up to his nose.

Now, Adam Zyglis is getting savaged. :sosad:

I'm sure Samaritan's Purse is not alone in bringing relief to Texas flashflood victims, but this gives a glimpse of what is being done:

Here's What Samaritan's Purse Is Doing Right Now to Alleviate Suffering in Texas

https://pjmedia.com/paula-bolyard/2025/07/11/heres-what-samaritans-purse-is-doing-right-now-to-alleviate-suffering-in-texas-n4941634 (https://pjmedia.com/paula-bolyard/2025/07/11/heres-what-samaritans-purse-is-doing-right-now-to-alleviate-suffering-in-texas-n4941634)

Quote
Samaritan's Purse was among the first on the ground when deadly floods hit the Texas Hill Country. From the organization's website:

Quote
Our volunteer teams started work on Tuesday morning, July 8. Volunteers serve as the hands and feet of our Lord, helping homeowners with property cleanup and mud-outs. In all we do, we aim to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with hurting people. Our host church for this response is Kerrville Bible Church at 898 Harper Rd. A Disaster Relief Unit and support equipment, which deployed from our Southwest Ministry Center in north Texas, are stationed there.

My husband was on a Samaritan's Purse team that helped flood victims in Tennessee a few years back, and he got a first-hand look at their operation; it's first class all the way. When a disaster hits, they roll into town with massive tractor-trailers and a huge group of volunteers to begin work.

COO Edward Graham, son of Franklin Graham and the grandson of Billy Graham (he's a dead ringer for both), spoke with News Nation yesterday to give an update about the efforts in Texas. He described the situation on the ground, saying that people "don't know where to start at a time like this, and this is where Samaritan's Purse comes along, and we help muck out their homes. We cut back the drywall, we bring in a solution that prevents mold from growing."

Yet another reason for DU-grade Progs to hate Samaritan's Purse.

DHS Shreds NYT’s False Claims Regarding Texas Floods

Quote
The New York Times claimed that FEMA failed to answer thousands of phone calls after the devastating floods because the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, fired call center contractors, stating that she waited five days to renew the contracts of the staffers.

However, DHS swiftly debunked the outlet’s false claims.

"FALSE. NO ONE was left without assistance, and every call was responded to urgently," the DHS wrote on X.

The DHS explained that during natural disasters, call volumes naturally spike, which can lead to longer wait times. However, FEMA stated that its disaster call center responded quickly and efficiently to all callers, and no operators were laid off or fired. The agency stated that FEMA had responded within hours of the disaster declaration, deploying 311 staff to support rescue efforts with critical intelligence, aerial imagery, and shelter for 171 survivors. Their efforts, in coordination with 2,100 Texas personnel across 20 agencies, helped save over 850 lives. FEMA remains committed to providing fast, effective support throughout the recovery.

Just to refresh memories, Trump announced his declaration of disaster just before 8AM EDT. "Within hours probably means FEMA aid workers had started deploying around noon Texas time. And FEMA worked in coordination with State of Texas people? Amazing what happens when FEMA knows the President cares about them doing their jobs well and has decades of experience in project management.

Quote
Kristi Noem’s appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” this Sunday was a textbook example of how to dismantle media bias with poise and facts. Faced with a predictably hostile Kristen Welker, Noem didn’t just hold her ground—she flipped the script. In a setting designed to put Trump administration officials on the defensive, Noem calmly exposed the hollowness of NBC’s narrative and reminded viewers what real leadership looks like under pressure.

The interview focused on the Trump administration’s rapid response to the devastating Texas floods and recent high-profile immigration enforcement actions. True to form, NBC leaned on anonymous sources to push a tired smear—this time suggesting Noem had personally delayed FEMA aid by requiring her approval for contracts over $100,000. But Noem dismantled that narrative without breaking a sweat.

“Those claims are absolutely false,” she said. “Within just an hour or two after the flooding, we had resources from Homeland Security on the ground. The Coast Guard was deployed immediately and rescued countless Texans. Border Patrol tactical teams were there. FEMA arrived within hours. Call centers were fully staffed. This was the fastest FEMA deployment in years—maybe decades.”

When will MSM shills realize that Trump's people are smarter than them and come armed with facts?! ::) ::) ::)

Quote
When Welker pivoted to immigration enforcement—specifically a major bust at a California marijuana grow operation—the media’s playbook was once again on display. She tried to push the false claim that Border Czar Tom Homan was advocating racial profiling during an appearance on CNN, but Noem didn’t take the bait.

She laid out the facts: over 300 arrests, 14 unaccompanied minors rescued from likely trafficking or exploitation, and criminals among the detained with records including rape, child pornography, and murder. These weren’t random detentions—they were targeted law enforcement actions aimed at dismantling illegal grow operations that often serve as fronts for organized crime.

Once again. armed with facts and Friday's judicial injunction would not have mattered, as the raid was targeting trafficked minors and criminals, not generic Hispanics.

Not entirely surprisingly, I was unable to find any affiliation he has with a congregation or denomination. So my assumption was wrong that Scott Pesner is part of some liberal Mainline Protestant denomination. What he is, I can only guess, maybe leading some group small enough to meeting a living room with no discernable online presence, maybe just a title-slinging poser.

He runs some church called Modern Genesis Ministry. He is anti-Christian.
