TEXAS FLOOD: There are many questions about the tragic flash flood on the Guadalupe River late Thursday night and early Friday morning.

Here are some key points about the warning process... - James Spann

*A flash flood watch was issued for Kerr County at 12:41a CT...
*A flash flood warning was issued at 1:14a CT For Kerr County, which mentioned "life threatening flash flooding of creeks, streams, and rivers".
*A flash flood "emergency" was issued at 5:34a CT for Kerr County and the Guadalupe River.
*NWS Austin/San Antonio had five on staff during the event; normally two would be on duty. Extra staffing was planned before the event started.
*This type of flash flooding on the Guadalupe River is nothing new. Similar events happened in 1998, 1987, 1978, 1935, and 1921. This year's event was related to deep moisture from a tropical system (Barry) that originated in the East Pacific and made landfall near Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico, on June 29.

• In my opinion one of the primary problems is the high number of false alarms; flash flood warnings that are issued with only minor flooding involved. This is also a problem with tornadoes in many parts of the country...
• One takeaway is the importance of having a NOAA Weather Radio at every home, business, and any place where there are large number of people gathered (like a camp on a river). I would imagine cell service is very spotty along the Guadalupe where the camps were located. NWR does not use cell service and will wake you up. The alert is very loud, and can't be missed.

Unfair fight: How lefty nonprofits — and taxpayer money — lifted Mamdani’s campaign - Betsy McCaughey

New Yorkers are under the false impression that the taxpayer-funded city Campaign Finance Board is leveling the playing field to make Gotham’s elections fair.

• Just the opposite is true: The CFB is actually doling out obscene amounts of our money to tilt the scales for left-wing candidates, including Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani.

If November’s election is anything like 2021’s, taxpayers will shell out more than $100 per vote cast — while the board kneecaps Mamdani’s moderate rivals...

Last December, the CFB declared incumbent Mayor Eric Adams ineligible for public financing, alluding to federal allegations that have since been withdrawn.
It was straight-up election meddling — the old “guilty until proven innocent” trick.
It’s not the first time...

Let's Talk FACTS: While Dems Act Like Ghouls, Chris Martz Sets the Record STRAIGHT on NWS, Texas Flooding - Amy Curtis

The Left began standing on the bodies of dead Texans, including children, who were killed in catastrophic flooding before the waters even started receding. 

CNN's Dana Bash blamed Trump and climate change. 

Others blamed DOGE and budget cuts.

• But here's a meteorologist -- you know, one of those 'experts' the Left loves -- setting the record STRAIGHT...

Liberal bullies doing what bullies ALWAYS do! Picking on the weak, using government to provide the clout!!!

That time Bono realized the free market and commerce help people more than the redistribution of money | Blaze Media: 

Now that we're in this rabbit hole, we might as well go a little deeper to 2013, when Bono had not yet realized the power of capitalism to free people, but he was still seeking "evidence-based" activism. This might have been the beginning of his epiphany. In his TED talk about reducing poverty, he goes over some stunning statistics that are no doubt at least partly due to capitalism improving lives for decades.

The comments are interesting!-----"Texas officials are absolutely right to call out NWS for treating every storm like it's the storm of the century.

toddstarnes on X: "...Since Katrina there has been a significant shift in the way NWS forecasts and issues storm warnings. These days EVERY storm is the "storm of the century."

Were we supposed to notice? Because we didn’t.

As you probably don’t know, there was a massive protest on Tuesday. So massive, in fact, that it was supposed to reverberate throughout the country. It was designed to hit you where it hurt: to deprive you of liberal labor for a day. Please do try to stifle your laughter.

Why Do Cities Vote Democrat? - by Capt. Seth Keshel

A brief series of answers to one of the most common questions I receive. - Capt. Seth Keshel

• Why do cities all vote Democrat?
• It’s pretty much a universal truth – see for yourself...

Even in a 13.7% Trump romp, in which Harris won just 12 of 254 counties, pretty much any city bigger than Abilene voted blue. Trump won Tarrant County – Fort Worth is still blue...

• Without further ado, here are my non-A.I. inspired answers, which I bake into my forecasting models, as to why Democrats rule the cities...

Outsourcing mania: Microsoft expands American layoffs while lobbying for even more foreign workers! * WorldNetDaily * by Amanda Bartolotta

Outsourcing mania: Microsoft expands American layoffs while lobbying for even more foreign workers! * WorldNetDaily * by Amanda Bartolotta: 

Based on this pattern, Microsoft's claims of a lack of available skilled workers appear less about unmet labor needs and more about the company's inability to replace its existing workforce at scale due to the legal limits imposed by the H-1B visa cap. This imbalance raises further questions regarding how the program is being applied, whether to support innovation or to enable a deeper transformation of the labor force. While Microsoft continues to press for expanded visa access, the real-time experiences of its displaced American employees offer a revealing counterpoint.

We CAN handle the TRUTH!-----BLOOD MONEY: TRAITOR-IN-CHIEF — OBAMA’S $1.7 BILLION PAYOFF TO IRAN EXPOSED

Donald J. Trump has reignited a firestorm — exposing Barack Obama’s covert $1.7 billion cash delivery to Iran, a hostile regime, in the final hours of his presidency. - KarenLyn Williams

This wasn’t a transfer. 

• It was a secret operation. 

Pallets of untraceable cash, flown in military aircraft, handed off in the shadows — while Congress, the FBI, and the DOJ stood frozen in betrayal. 

• No subpoenas. 
• No outrage. 
• No justice. 
• Just silence. 
• Bought silence.

Trump doesn’t mince words. 

He calls it treason. 

Not just by Obama — but by every institution that let it happen...

Would you buy one??-----Jaguar’s Woke EV Campaign Crashes Sales 97%

Supporters claim the crash in sales is all part of the plan - Eric Worrall
Not everyone believes the 97% crash in sales was a blunder – supporters claim it is all part of the plan.

• Jaguar’s Massive 97% Sales Collapse Is Actually Very Misleading

Let’s take a look at the numbers and what internal data at Jaguar says about the future 

BY STEPHEN RIVERS - JULY 2, 2025 AT 08:40

• Jaguar sales dropped over 97 percent in Europe after production was halted.
• Despite the sharp decline, this outcome was planned as part of the company’s rebrand.
• Insights from Jaguar’s latest investor day provide cautious reasons for optimism.

It’s not just your imagination. If you’ve stopped by a Jaguar dealership recently, you probably noticed the lot looking unusually bare. In fact, most local Jaguar dealers have fewer than 10 new cars available for sale, and some don’t have any at all. This slowdown has contributed to a dramatic 97.5 percent drop in Jaguar’s sales across Europe.

At first glance, that figure seems catastrophic, and it’s already fueled headlines pointing to a collapse linked to Jaguar’s high-stakes rebrand and its pivot toward electric vehicles. But those interpretations miss a crucial piece of context. Jaguar intentionally stopped producing cars at the end of 2024, a move that stretched into early 2025 in some regions, as part of a planned transition to becoming an EV-only brand.
