Breitbart-
President Donald Trump is making sure first responders in central Texas have federal assistance in the aftermath of the horrific floods.
In a post Sunday on his Truth Social, the president said, “I just signed a Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County, Texas, to ensure that our Brave First Responders immediately have the resources they need.” more
lol They’re already trying to blame PDT for this, because of staff cuts and early retirements at the National Weather Service. I shit you not.
Horrible, horrible tragedy. Also horrible are the rabid but brain-dead attempts by the left to blame the Trump administration.
Want to see a lefty lose it? Ask him how many illegal aliens in Texas would have been washed away and drowned if they hadn’t been safely rounded up and sent to safety at Alligator Auschwitz.

OUTSTANDING, AL!!! SO TRUE!!
I am unable to express my disgust with those who revel in the deaths of children for cheap political points, so I will not.
I am also unable to express the horror of young lives ripped from their families, so I will not.
To the first, then, I will say only that those who have deafened themselves to the Holy Spirit in the service of self and satan can never understand that it is impossible to kill a Christian. Those who have passed from this world are not defined by the temporary housing of their corporeal bodies but by the imperishable soul they were sent to this world with, that same soul that in all people and in all places will return to the Maker, to be rewarded in measure to the Word He set down for us; so for those and all who follow Him, absent from the body is present with the Lord. This is the Message of the Cross and the core of His Sacrifice, that a way is made that those caught up in the storms of this world will only be sent to the eternal calm of Heaven in the light of the Lord, there to continue forever in the gift of His Grace; but those who delight in using tragedy to mock God cannot begin to understand this, let alone accept it, so it is pointless to cast those pearls before such swine as the Bible informs us.
As to the second, the immeasurable grief and unwarrented guilt at the disastrous loss of a young life one was charged with under ANY circumstances is impossible for the weak words of man in general and myself in particular to assuage, so I will not attempt such. Only the healing of the Holy Spirit and the soft voice of the Comfortor is capable of bringing any measure of peace to the heart of a parent tormented by such a separation, and so all I can do is pray His Mercy upon them and all who bear the loss with them, from family and friends to first responder and mortician. Even so young a life can touch many others, and the tragedy of one is a burden on the all-too-human hearts of all.
Dear Lord, we come before You today in the pain of this tragedy to ask Your Mercy on the afflicted. May You shine Your love upon them through the comfort of Your Spirit to place the certainty of Your Blessed Assurance in their hearts that all those seemingly lost are with You, now and forever, in the peace of Paradise, and that all may be reunited one glorious day before Your throne, far from the turbulent waters of this world in the eternal Light of the Lord in the next. Lend them Your everlasting Arms in this time of trial, strengthen their hearts to do all that need done, and guide their minds that this may draw them closer to You in the one hope that all mankind has, in Your Mercy and Your Grace in the freely given gift of Your Salvation. Lord, this loss passes all understanding so we ask through our tears for the peace that can only come from You that passeth all understanding, on all the lives these have touched and all the lives that must continue living that they be given the gift of forgetting those parts of those passings that would destroy any man to reflect upon for too long, leaving only fond memories of the lives that were shared for too brief a time, and the anticipation of the reunion Jubilee yet to come.
This is much to ask and none including myself are worthy to ask it, so we ask it on the mercy that Christ showed us all on Calvary and on His precious Blood spilled there for the redemption of us all.
Only You can make sense of the senseless, O Lord. Only You can give these lives meaning, calm those in dire need, and thereby increase Your Kingdom to Your Glory for by no other hand and by no other voice can this Blessed Assurance come.
We ask this all in the merciful Name of our Lord and Savior, by the Blood of Your Son Jesus Christ, Immanuel, Amen.
God Bless,

@SNS — It is very good to see you, my friend. I was concerned by your absence.
Thanks, Uncle Al. Taking a sanity break. Not sure I’m done. Couldnt pass this, tho.
Still stop in very occasionally to enjoy the rest of you, as a reminder that the whole world isnt lost. Im sure many enjoy the break from me too, so I wouldnt want to disappoint them.
Goodnight and God bless,

Certainly, there has to be a way we can send donations for the victims without having to go thru the Clinton skimming machine that rakes 98% for themselves, no?
“…how many illegal aliens in Texas would have been washed away and drowned if they hadn’t been safely rounded up and sent to safety at Alligator Auschwitz.”
Better hold off on the count for now. After all, it’s hurricane season. Mixed metaphorically speaking , they might be out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Prayers for the attainment of peace and clarity through your time on your break, dear Brother
Thank you, Hoo Hoo. I dont have a life so much as a constant chaos management challenge, so I need to step away from extra stress sometimes. God gets me through, but theres some stuff about not putting Him to the test in the Bible that tells me to back off sometimes too.
When I got to the point I damn near doxxxed myself and a half dozen or so other people, one of whom was dead, just to prove a point to someone I do not actually know, the “GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF” lights started flashing red so I stepped away.
Still a lurker, tho. IOTW is a good place and with the best bunch of people I’ll never know in the comments section and with some truly wonderful folk as mods and authors, so like the G M who can not be named (albeit for different reasons) I am truly never gone, but I figure everyone needs a break from me as much as I need a break from them, so here Im not.
God bless,
