"And, contra the idiot Dana Bash on CNN, it isn’t because of Trump budget cuts that the NWS didn’t get the word out. It turned out that the NWS had more forecasters working that storm than normal because they saw there was the potential for a big rain and flash-flooding event"

The girls in the “Bubble Inn” cabin started June 29 at Camp Mystic with great-big smiles.Less than five days later every person in the photo was swept away by the Texas flash floods. Photos, videos here.
"We go through this virtually every time some tragedy hits. I don’t know about you, but I’m absolutely sick of it. And after what happened in the Texas Hill Country over the July 4 weekend, in which flash flooding claimed a death toll of at least 80 and probably more than 100, many of them children who were at summer camps along the suddenly swollen Guadalupe River, the epidemic of ghoulish behavior among the talking heads and operatives of the Democrat Party and the Left has gone entirely off the rails.
"What they want you to believe, in a fashion directly related to the immediate cries for infringement on your gun rights every time some deranged creep loses his cool and conducts a mass shooting, is that the hill country flash floods are President Trump’s fault. Why this is purportedly so is an exercise in magical thinking — the logic is little better than that MAGA has insulted the weather gods, and thus the children have suffered.
"And some of it is even worse than that. As the victims of the hill country flooding are mostly white conservatives, some of the river ghouls are having notable difficulty summoning up much sympathy for the dead and their families.
"The woman posting that last bit is a pediatrician from Houston who got herself rightly fired from the doctor’s office where she worked.
"I’m going to try to steer clear of most of that bile. It isn’t healthy to spend much time inside the heads of loons who are that irrationally hateful toward innocent people they’ve never even met. Suffice it to say that when your life is not spent trying to get into heaven, either because you don’t believe in God or because you worship at the altar of an ideology that promises to deliver heaven right here on earth, you lose all the behavioral speedbumps which would stop you from politicizing and pathologizing every event that can be politicized or pathologized.
"No, there is nothing Donald Trump or Kristie Noem could have done to stop the flash floods in Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville, and other towns in central Texas." . . .
