During those California fires; "Where was Kamala? Nowhere. No statements, no nothing, I remember her silence and absence from the state at the time. She didn't even do senator-things, such as call for more aid or legislation. She was gone, California was on its own."...
American Thinker "The New York Times and pretty much all of the nets are having a grand old time ganging up on Ted Cruz for escaping the Texas cold with his family and flying to Mexico for vacation.
" 'How Ted Cruz Became the Least Sympathetic Politician in America," gloated the Times, thrilled to have finally Gotten Ted, now that there's no Trump to kick around. Their story uncharacteristically placed links to all of the pop press items bearing Ted insults and tabloid photos. Suddenly, they admit they read this stuff and are willing to link to them in deference to their superior news content.
"It's garbage, and on multiple fronts.
"At a time when Texas is under a cold weather disaster and thousands of residents lack heat, water and even food, Cruz came under attack for flying to Cancun, Mexico from Washington on long planned family vacation. Some creep in his inner circle leaked it to the press and some papparazzi types in the press managed to stalk and case Ted as a result, to get photos of Ted at the airport, Ted picking up his luggage, and Ted doing the normal stuff travelers without either VIP privileges or private jets do, same as the rest of us.
"Then they played it up as Ted living large while everyone in Texas is suffering. He was supposed to be down there emoting and Oprahfiying himself or something.
"Which was a crap narrative.
"Why, exactly, should Ted be in the cold with everyone else playing Chief Comforter for the cameras, and using valuable heating and water resources, which in a small way, would deplete the available supply for others?
"Pan-disasters like Texas's incredible cold wave are times when anyone who can get out should get out, the better to leave resources for others as the cold moves through. When I lived in Singapore, in 1997, I recall that managers at my workplace, Dow Jones & Co. at the time, encouraged employees to get the heck out of Singapore if they had vacation time, because jungle fires from Sumatra had caused a great haze to lower itself across Southeast Asia and it was creating respiratory problems. The haaaaze (as we called it) was so intense everyone had to wear a mask to keep from choking and it was literally impossible to see people across the street. You bet I got out of that. I spent a couple weeks in Sri Lanka, as one of many haze refugees I ran into in that country. Other people flew to northern Vietnam to get away from it, too.
"In bad disasters that affect everyone, it makes sense for everyone to get out who can get out.
The Times criticized Cruz for urging people on Twitter to stay home but even that was distorted reporting. Cruz was urging people to avoid unnecessay travel on black-ice roads and other dangerous highway travel conditions. Airline travel to a vacation destination is something else entirely, highways are not used except to get to the airport. The comparison there was dishonest." . . . More here.
What's the Bigger Sin? Going on Vacation During an Ice Storm Or Being Responsible for the Deaths of 15,000 Seniors? . . . "God may look at Cruz and chuckle about the dumb mistake that he made in exposing himself politically in such a way. But what will he say to Governor Cuomo, who not only initiated policies that led to mass death but then tried to evade responsibility for his stupidity by covering it up?" . . .
