It has been repeated ad nauseum by now that the Steele Dossier and the whole subsequent Russian Collusion bullshit originated from and was pushed by the Clinton Campaign. The DUmp'Rats STILL believe REPEAT every morsel of the Russian Collusion bullshit as if it was the next five Commandments handed down from the Almighty himself.

I could say I think I see a pattern developing, but IMHO the concrete on that pattern set many, many decades ago...

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.

All alerts are also sent out over NOAA Weather Radio.

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

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.

DHS Shreds NYT’s False Claims Regarding Texas Floods

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2025/07/12/homeland-security-knocks-down-nyt-n2660278

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.

This DUmb post illustrates why Dem and their MSM-shills rush their Blame-Trump lies into print, Internet posts, and broadcasts. They know many people won't see and/or will refuse to believe facts that disprove the Blame-Trump lies.

What's predictable is that a bunch of conscienceless liars are trying to blame flooding deaths on Trump.

They did predict the storm. What's impossible to predict is exactly how much rain it will drop and in this case the storm cell stalled over a particular area and dropped much more rain than it usually would have.

Ah so you admit that the B.F.E.E. weather machine was used to kill brown people! (dumpmode off)
