THE MEDIA SLIME
“I wish the media were held to clear standards, similar to those governing doctors and lawyers. If journalists act dishonestly or cause harm through negligence, they should face consequences, such as losing their professional credentials.” — DML
Meteorologist in Austin, Texas:
“The National Weather Service did their job and they did it well”
Anyone using dead girls as some kind of political attack against Trump is evil and twisted.

Media’s Shameful Blame Game Targets Trump for Texas Floods
The catastrophic floods that ravaged Central Texas, leaving at least 79 dead and 41 missing, are a tragedy that demands compassion and unity. Yet, the liberal media, alongside figures like Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democrat, and the radical lefty washed up comedian Rosie O’Donnell, have disgracefully weaponized this disaster to unfairly blame President Trump.
Their accusations—tying the floods to Trump’s spending cuts and climate policies—are not only baseless but, as the White House stated, “shameful and disgusting.” This media-driven narrative dishonors the victims and distracts from recovery.
The Guadalupe River surged 26 feet in 45 minutes, fueled by over 10 inches of rain, an event Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice called unpredictable. The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a flood watch 12 hours earlier, and first responders saved hundreds, undermining media claims that Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuts to NWS staffing caused the tragedy.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, on the ground in Texas, acknowledged the “moderate” flood watch underestimated the deluge but committed to upgrading the NWS’s “ancient” systems—a proactive step the media conveniently ignores.
Inslee, parroted by the media, suggested Trump’s green energy cuts worsened such disasters, a claim lacking evidence. O’Donnell, in a TikTok rant, absurdly blamed Trump’s “horrible decisions” for gutting weather forecasting, alleging his policies led to the floods that killed 79 people, including 21 children. These attacks, amplified by outlets eager to vilify Trump, exploit a natural disaster for political gain. The media’s selective outrage overlooks the NWS’s efforts and the administration’s swift response, including Trump’s signing of a Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County and deployment of FEMA and the Coast Guard.
The media’s rush to scapegoat Trump insults the memory of victims, like Camp Mystic’s heroic director Dick Eastland, and the children lost in Kerr County. Meanwhile, Gov. Greg Abbott called for a day of prayer, and Rep. August Pfluger, reunited with his daughters evacuated from Camp Mystic, praised the administration’s efforts, a perspective drowned out by the media’s anti-Trump hysteria. This tragedy demands we rally behind Texas, not fuel division with lies. Shame on Inslee, O’Donnell, and the media for exploiting heartbreak to score cheap political points. Let’s honor the fallen by supporting recovery, not spreading blame.
