As Menagerie pointed out earlier today, the leftist ghouls on X think that little Christian girls deserve to die. A very sick, black-hearted, group who will do and say anything if they think it favors their Communist politics.

RED STATE

The tragic news out of Texas continues to get worse as the death toll from a flash flood has risen to 51, including at least 15 children. Over two dozen girls from a summer camp in the area remain unaccounted for, with the search-and-rescue effort continuing in the night. Sadly, the chances of finding more people alive diminish by the hour, and the situation is likely to become even more heartbreaking over the next few days.

Unfortunately, multiple Democrats have decided to eschew any empathy in pursuit of selfish partisan gain. Ron Filipowski, editor of the left-wing outlet Meidas Touch, posted this on Saturday.

It takes a truly rotten soul to handwave away the deaths of children as the deserved outcome of daring to vote for Donald Trump and Greg Abbott. Further, as I wrote in a prior piece, there is no evidence that budget cuts at the National Weather Service (NWS) played a role in the forecasting of this event. There was a 12-hour early flood watch in effect, and a 3-hour early flash flood warning was issued.

Yet, the idea that the NWS was “gutted” and led to this outcome is becoming a predominant theme among Democrats.

NOTE: Any budget cuts to NOAA that were passed by Congress during the Trump administration would not take effect until fiscal year 2026.

By the way, On March 11, 2024, President Biden released his budget proposal for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025. The proposed budget would decrease overall funding for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) by 2.4% from FY24 and drastically cut several key programs. I didn’t see any gnashing of teeth over that budget, did you?

To be clear, the “cuts” being cited are not only minimal and target bloat, not effective services, but they do not go into effect until October. As for any prior staff cuts (NOAA was in the process of cutting 10 percent of its staff), there is likewise no evidence that those hampered the forecasting of this event. Yet, even a California state senator is repeating the lie because he believes it helps him politically. The NWS could have a trillion-dollar budget, and it would have put out the same forecast.
