Michael Shellenberger on X - "Within minutes of Texas floods killing dozens of girls, the media said it was because of Trump budget cuts and climate change. In truth, the deaths occurred in “one of the highest flood-prone regions in the entire state,” warnings were issued, and the underlying cause was the failure to install flood warning sirens. Climate journalists are cultists."
Steve Milloy on X - "If you see Democrats trying to blame Trump budget cuts for a failure to warn of flash-flooding risk, the first National Weather Service warning was given a day ahead: "According to the National Weather Service website, the flash flood watch, which included Kerr County, was issued at 1:18 p.m. Thursday. Nearly 12 hours later, a 'life threatening' flash flood warning was issued at 1:14 a.m., according to the website.""
Joseph L Trahan for Senate District 15 on X - "When TRUMP learned of the Guadaupe River Flooding Disaster his response was: "ANYTHING YOU NEED, JUST ASK" We asked for Blackhawk helicopters and military with equipment for search and rescue...within an hour they were flying over the river rescuing and leading the way. I voted for this."
Michael Walsh on X - "You gotta love these shameless ghouls pouncing on a tragic Texas (a state the size of France) weather event to blame Trump for a bill he signed yesterday."
The Hodgetwins | Facebook - "๐จ PROOF: THE LEFT HATES AMERICA — EVEN DURING NATURAL DISASTERS ๐จ Democrats on X are now celebrating the tragic flash flooding in Kerr County, Texas, that took the lives of several innocent children, saying the state “deserves what they’re getting.” As Texans battle deadly floods, the unhinged Left is CELEBRATING. Here’s what liberals are actually posting online:
“Texas deserves it.”
“Cry harder.”
“No FEMA, just ICE.”
“Let’s start the hurricanes.”
“No empathy for red states.”
“It’s what Texas deserves.”
While families are losing homes, and loved ones these the Left are laughing, mocking, and wishing more destruction on millions of Americans just because they vote Republican. These are the same people who lecture us about “unity” and “compassion.”
๐ And let’s not ignore this: Pew Research confirms 56% of young liberal white women have been diagnosed with a mental health condition by a healthcare provider. So when you see this level of cruelty, rage, and delusion online — now you know why. ๐ This is what the modern Left has become: Not just wrong. Not just radical. But emotionally unstable and openly hateful. We pray for Texas. We remember who mocked them. #TexasStrong #LiberalHateExposed #Trump2024 #Hodgetwins #AmericaFirst #PrayForTexas #RedStatePride #StopTheInsanity #NoMoreDoubleStandards #WeRemember"
As left wingers, projecting as usual, love to say, "the cruelty is the point"
Texas pediatrician's flood post claiming MAGA 'got what they voted for' backfires spectacularly - "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 82 dead, 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.'"
Not the only one taking glee in this that I saw. "The cruelty is the point" crowd was engaging in projection, as usual
Left wingers will be bandying about accusations of hypocrisy again, but they want people who don't adhere to left wing orthodoxy to be fired, because "minorities" won't feel "safe" with them, or will be mistreated by these "bigots" (like Michael Ellis getting deregistered), or even just because (like Seyi Omooba)
Texas officials face scrutiny over response to catastrophic and deadly flooding - "The National Weather Service sent out a series of flash flood warnings in the early hours Friday before issuing flash flood emergencies — a rare alert notifying of imminent danger... 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, Runyen said. Where the office would typically have two forecasters on duty during clear weather, they had up to five on staff."
Damn defunding! Trump has blood on his hands!
Did the Weather Service Stumble Ahead of Fatal Texas Floods? - "Meteorologists have said the NWS did all it could in regards to the forecasts issued prior to the floods. On Saturday, meteorologist John Morales took to social media to defend the NWS, stating that the “local officials blaming NWS are wrong.” “I don't see any evidence that cuts to NOAA/NWS caused any degradation in the anticipatory weather warnings ahead of this Texas tragedy,” Morales said, sharing data from the NWS... Other meteorologists have also spoken out. CBS Austin's Avery Tomasco said: "The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for Kerr County more than 12 hours ahead of the catastrophic flood. A flash flood warning was issued for Hunt and Ingram three hours before the Guadalupe started to climb. They did their job and they did it well.""

MAZE on X - "This is CNN's Abby Phillip. Abby enjoys spreading propaganda and listening to herself speak. In October of last year Abby continually criticized Trump for "politicizing" the Harris/Biden Admin's response to Hurricane Helene.

‘Tariff’ on American diners a ‘malicious prank’, says Chinatown restaurant worker - "A worker at a restaurant in Chinatown said none of its employees had put up a notice declaring a 104 per cent surcharge for American diners, calling the move a “malicious prank”. The handwritten notice of the “tax” – equal to US President Donald Trump’s staggering tariff rate on Chinese imports announced on April 8 – spread online on April 10, attracting more than 1,500 comments on TikTok. Like the tariffs on China, the notice said Xie Lao Song’s American patron tariff was to take effect on April 9. Some netizens crowed at what they took for the management’s patriotism, while others cried discrimination."

How to respond to Trump’s tariff provocations - "Retaliation (a big F): Despite Canadians’ well-founded anger with U.S. tariffs, retaliation is the worst option. We end up shooting ourselves in the foot. A U.K. study released just this week estimates the impact of a 25 per cent U.S. tariff on Mexico and Canada (with a 10 per cent rate for energy), as well as a 20 per cent tariff on China. Without retaliation, Canada’s real income per capita falls 3.2 per cent. But with “dollar-for-dollar” retaliation by Canada and others, the hit is 5.1 per cent. The U.S. suffers too, but the impact is much less: just 0.9 per cent of its real income without retaliation and 1.2 per cent with. Given our exemption from Trump’s uniform and reciprocal tariffs, the damage to us is less than in the study’s 25/10 assumption. But the message is the same: retaliation makes us worse off but with little impact on the United States, which is much less reliant on trade. Is retaliation even necessary? In 2020, Australia didn’t retaliate when China blocked Aussie imports. Instead, it called out China’s bad behaviour and isolated it from other trading arrangements. Eventually, China caved and Australia did fine.
Trade diversification (B): Confronted with a U.S. tariff wall, it’s natural to look for other trade opportunities in Europe and Asia, where we already have trade agreements. Despite some progress with these other partners, economics and geography make the U.S. our best market. Over 90 per cent of our two most important exports are sold to the United States (vehicles and parts and oil, gas and their derivatives, which account for 12 and 24 per cent, respectively, of our exports). Overall, three-quarters of our exports of goods and services go to the United States... Mark Carney proposes building a Canadian car company (probably an EV producer) but it could end up like bankrupt battery-maker Northvolt, unable to compete even with subsidies. Energy exports could be diversified but that would need regulatory approvals for pipelines to be built to the east and west coasts. The Conservatives support energy corridors for this purpose, but the Liberals only mention an east-west pipeline across Canada, not one that would diversify trade to other markets.
NAFTA 3.0 (A-): Free trade with the U.S. and Mexico has brought large benefits for the Canadian economy. Its loss would be a body blow, especially to non-diversifiable industries like Ontario’s auto industry. And there’s much more at stake in our relations with the U.S. Many of us have family there. Millions of snowbirds head south every winter. American companies have over $600 billion invested in Canada as foreign direct investment. In short, our circumstances dictate that we have little choice but make a deal with the U.S. With a mercurial president, that won’t be easy. But Wednesday’s exemptions for Canada and Mexico seem to signal that a new deal may well be possible. That could include a “big idea” negotiation. As with the original Auto Pact, other pacts could be negotiated for security, energy and curbing illegal guns and drugs crossing the border. What would we be willing to give up? The Americans have a long wish list, primarily involving recent Liberal policies: plastic waste regulations, intellectual property protection, online streaming levies, digital services tax and the Online News Act (which requires payments to news businesses). But Trump’s only mention of us Wednesday concerned supply management. Although it has been an immense policy failure for us, undermining export opportunities, hurting food affordability and harming trade relations, it’s a political minefield no major party wants to wade into. But we’re at a crunch point here: how much of the rest of our economy are we prepared to sacrifice in its interest?
Whichever of the three options we choose, we can only help ourselves by making our economy more competitive. The very best way to thumb our noses at Trump is with an innovative, high-performing economy. That requires lower taxes, less regulation and governments that don’t believe they can micro-manage economic activity."

And if you need any evidence of how incoherent and misguided in its priorities it has become recall the mass protests that greeted Trump during the much less active first few months of his first term (when his biggest apparent "crime" had been months earlier suggesting a certain rapeyness among Mexican illegals) and then contrast the organized anger this produced to the anemic reaction in the present. Harm programs that help American consumers? Not really a big problem. Or programs that have helped millions of poor people around the world and engendered goodwill toward the US? Not enough to make lefties get too terribly upset. But riff about Mexican illegals possibly having a predilection for sexual crimes? Huge problem! The left that used to matter — the one that stood up to the banks and big corporations and predatory capitalism and sought to make a real difference among the global poor — has become hollowed out, replaced by an activist base that has the mindset of a humanities department at Berkeley."
Why is Trump's plan to end birtright citizenship so controversal when other countries did it? : r/Askpolitics - "Many countries, including France, New Zealand, and Australia, have abandoned birthright citizenship in the past few decades.2 Ireland was the last country in the European Union to follow the practice, abolishing birthright citizenship in 2005."
On March 20, 2006, Barron Trump was born in the United States. On July 28, 2006, Melania Trump, his mother, obtained U.S. citizenship. - Wonderkik - "On March 20, 2006, Barron Trump was born in the United States. On July 28, 2006, Melania Trump, his mother, obtained U.S. citizenship. As a result, when Barron was born, his mother was not a citizen of the United States. Barron Trump is therefore not a legitimate US citizen in accordance with FELON-47’s ruling that a person should not be granted citizenship unless both of their parents were US citizens at birth. Given his father’s criminal history (at least 37 convictions), we can presume that Barron Trump will soon, if not already, display criminal tendencies. According to his father’s reasoning, Barron Trump should be sent to a criminal gang camp in El Salvador right away. He and his mother both hold Slovenian citizenship, most likely so that they can both escape there once their own criminality becomes apparent. What? Does FELON-47 believe that his own son is exempt from Article 14 of the Constitution? FELON-47 should also be sent there to defend his son!
I kept seeing left wingers sharing this, but have very poor comprehension skills and love to believe fake news, as usual. Under Trump's Executive Order, only those born more than 30 days after the order and who either had illegal mothers and non-citizen/permanent resident fathers or temporary resident mothers and illegal fathers would not get citizenship. Neither of those applies to Barron
