Lots of people are swallowing the talking point that Kerr county denying ARPA grants for sirens from Biden led to this.

Anyone that thinks sirens would have prevented this is living in fantasy land. A siren doesn't tell you a 40 foot wall of water is coming.
It is the same bull**** our society engages in 24/7 now.

Someone must always be blamed and punished/destroyed whenever something bad happens.

Even if there is no human involvement, people will invent it like the bozos Michael Flynn, MTG, etc. are doing with the cloud seeding conspiracy.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

In fairness to conservatives, it's mostly liberals who do this

MTG notwithstanding

I am not blaming sirens or saying any of this flood was truly stoppable...


But i am in NB and Sequin all the time. I pay attention when that siren goes off...even during the weekly tests.



The big reason I have a problem with people saying "there should have been sirens" is that the people pushing it on X are making the claim that the sirens would have prevented the loss at the camp. Which is 100% false.

If this is true then I regret not installing that siren to keep the 18' rise in lake LBJ back in October of 18 from flooding my house.

Well as a local, the "siren" would have gone off twice yesterday (based on NWS warnings) and we didn't get a drop of rain. We get many, many false alarm warnings. So if you're going to "jump through a hoop" each warning, just a matter of time any you will not pay attention to the siren.

I speak to you as a mother, a neighbor, a pediatrician, and a human being who is deeply sorry. I take full responsibility for a social media comment I made before we knew that so many precious lives were lost to the terrible tragedy in Central Texas. I understand my comment caused immense pain to those suffering indescribable grief and for that I am truly sorry. I would like to make clear that my regrettable comment was in no way a response to the tragic loss of human life. But the words written were mine and regardless of how they are being presented, that is a fact that I deeply regret. I want to apologize to each and every individual suffering through terrible loss in this difficult time. As news of heartbreaking fatalities became clear I immediately removed my thoughtless comment, as it does not reflect the depth of my compassion or the respect I have for each and every human life. Unfortunately, my online comment is now being shared with the false impression that I made it after the devastating loss of life was known. I did not. But again, the comment was mine and mine alone. Even in these divisive times, some things are and should remain sacred. Human life is sacred. The well-being of children is sacred. Politics and party affiliation should never affect the judgment or actions of any medical provider and have never affected mine. Anyone who has sat in my office, cried on my shoulder in moments of loss, afforded me the privilege of helping their child grow, or trusted me with their child's life knows that I am tirelessly committed to children's medical care and would never be so callous as to make such a remark about lives cut so terribly short. I did not choose my words with the sensitivity the moment required, or with any awareness of the heartbreaking loss that would later become clear to all of us. My comment came from a place of frustration born of my belief that our communities, first responders, healthcare system, early-warning systems and disaster infrastructure need more and better support and funding to help prevent and respond to tragedies such as this. But my poor choice of words has been perceived as a response to this tragedy, and for that I am deeply sorry. I respectfully ask that no responsibility or harassment be directed toward my former employer. They are kind, hard-working, dedicated pediatricians who had no role in this whatsoever. Perhaps my biggest regret is that my words are now serving as a distraction from our shared responsibility to heal the pain and suffering of those whose lives have been forever changed by unspeakable loss, and to take every step to ensure such a disaster never occurs again. One thing on which we can all agree: The heart of every Texan breaks for each and every family shattered by this tragedy. I pray that those who are suffering find peace and comfort in the difficult days ahead and commit myself to helping the entire community heal and recover. Moving forward, I will do my very best to listen, learn, grow and serve my community as I have always done. Because that is really who I am. With deep regret, Christina Propst, MD July 8, 2025

I listen to Charlie Kirk's pod and started his latest one in my truck where he discussing this. Didn't get too far into it before I had to take a call and I was a bit confused as to where he was coming up with a "DEI kills" title to his pod. This video provides a lot of context now, and man that makes me extremely upset. Here is to hoping he at minimum gets the boot for this if not more. Wow

This just tells me that despite their best efforts to lie and gaslight, the climate change zealots can't win the battle with the reality people see every day. The more climate changes, the more it stays the same.

It has never been about climate change, it's about scaring people into giving up control of their lives to a global bureacracy that craves power and money above all things.

When you produce a wall of text to apologize, you aren't sincere and just trying to deflect. A simple "I messed up and posted a horrible message and am deeply sorry. I deserve the consequences for my actions" would have been more sincere.

Even if you give her benefit of the doubt she didn't know any loss of life or what the whole situation was at the time. She's still celebrating red voting citizens of Kerr county property loss, flooding, and all the awful things that essentially come with a hurricane etc.

No way to backtrack that. So no. Screw her.
