BREAKING: Karen Bass is MELTING DOWN over the ICE officers arresting illegal aliens outside Newscums press conference.

Trump has OFFICIALLY broken Karen Bass.

She is TRIGGERED!!!

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

NEW: Hillary Clinton approved the plan hatched by her top campaign advisor to smear Trump with fake claims of Russian collusion, according to newly declassified files.

Clinton then went on TV for the next several years to push the narrative she knew was fake.

Total witch.

Mel Gibson says it’s time to vote Republican and take back California

He says Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are going to steal the Pacific Palisades homeowners land

Mel Gibson calls for a Federal Investigation into Gavin Newsom

“Newsom wants to do the Maui plan — There aren't any more locals living there anymore. They all had to leave town.
Do you think the people of the Palisades or Altadena are going to be consulted about how their areas are reimagined by Newsom and Bass?”

“Now Gavin has asked for 40 billion of federal dollars to do whatever he has in mind. Why would we trust him with that kind of funding? — See, along with that federal money should come a federal investigation “

“We need to see what's happening with our money, with our federal dollars. California deserves leadership that does more than acknowledge a problem. It deserves leaders who take real, meaningful steps towards addressing these threats to our community. You deserve better”

“It's time for accountability. It's time for leadership that doesn't wait until it's too late. And most of all, it's time for the government that stands with its people.”

[Clandestine @WarClandestine]

The only people who believe Trump is implicated, are the people who don’t know the Trump/Epstein timeline:

2005: Trump bans Epstein from all Trump properties for hitting on underaged girl.

2006: Epstein arrested in FL after Trump helped victims go after Epstein.

2008: Epstein convicted on minimal charges and 18 month sentence from Bush-appointed judge and let off the hook by Clinton-allied FBI.

2008-2016: Obama and the Dems did absolutely nothing about Epstein. The media didn’t touch it. It was a “conspiracy theory”.

2017: Less than 3 weeks after inauguration, Trump signs EO 13773, targeting “Transnational criminal organizations and preventing criminal trafficking”. It was one of the first things Trump did as POTUS. Trump targeted not just Epstein’s operation, but others like it around the world.

2019: Trump’s DOJ arrests Epstein, seizes his island, throws him in jail for crimes against children.

2020: Trump’s DOJ arrests Maxwell, throws her in jail for crimes against children.

2021-2024: Dems under Biden don’t say a word about Epstein.

Anyone who is spreading that Trump is implicated in crimes related to Epstein, is simply proving they are ignorant to the entire situation and timeline. Trump is not Epstein’s buddy. Trump used the full force of the US government to take Epstein out, shut down his operation, seized his island, and threw his ass and jail.

Trump has been after Epstein for 20 years. After Trump found out the monster that he was, Trump knew what he had to do.

Trump is Epstein’s #1 enemy.

🧵 New evidence has emerged of the most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history. Per President @realDonaldTrump's directive, I have declassified a @HouseIntel oversight majority staff report that exposes how the Obama Administration manufactured the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment that they knew was false, promoting the LIE that Vladimir Putin and the Russian government helped President Trump win the 2016 election.

In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people, working with their partners in the media to promote the lie, in order to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump, essentially enacting a years-long coup against him.

Here are the top Obama Russia Hoax lies debunked by today's release:

If Musk wants to balance the budget, he should work on getting 7 more states to pass a resolution for a balanced budget amendment.

So, let's discuss the flooding in Texas.

Here are the facts many Democratic mouthpieces and some legacy media outlets are choosing to ignore:

1⃣ The National Weather Service (NWS) office in Austin / San Antonio was staffed with five meteorologists throughout the storms on Thursday and Friday, according to NWS meteorologist Jason Runyen. Most offices usually have two on staff when the weather is benign.

🔗https://t.co/oez4ZRxOxA

So, the claim that the 11% reduction in NWS employee headcount from the Trump administration's RIFs played no role in their ability to post forecasts and get information out to the public is WRONG.

2⃣ The NWS office issued a flood watch for the area at 1:18 p.m. CDT on Thursday, more than 15 HOURS in advance, urging residents to be weather-aware.

At 1:14 a.m. CDT, they issued a flash flood warning for, more than three hours before the Guadalupe River rapidly crested at 29.45 feet in Hunt, which is located near Camp Mystic.

There was plenty of warning from forecasters, even if initial forecasts did not predict some 12-20 inches of rain falling. The unfortunate aspect of all of this is that most people were probably asleep when the waters rose, and with no county flood warning systems that function like a tornado siren, the flash flood warnings posted by the NWS went unnoticed.

3⃣ The flooding was inevitable.

The remnants of Tropical Storm Barry, which made landfall in Mexico, were absorbed into a broad, retrograding upper-level low. Further destabilization of the lower atmosphere resulted in a rotating mesoscale convective vortex (MCV), which stalled over Central Texas and dropped over 1.8 trillion gallons of rain on the Hill Country. 🌧️

The dynamics involved here are poorly understood, and as a result, mesoscale models have a very difficult time predicting exactly where these sorts of systems will form and exactly how much rain could fall.

What's more, the terrain across the Texas Hill Country is characterized by a dry, thin layer of topsoil and exposed rocks on the surface, making it prone to flash flooding events. Heavy rainfall isn't readily absorbed, and trickles down into nearby rivers and creeks, where it causes them to spill over their banks. 🪨

4⃣ The rainfall and flooding were not unprecedented, and it had little to do with climate change.

Camp Mystic and neighboring communities like Hunt and Kerrville are located on the floodplains of the Guadalupe River Valley. The sediment that they're built on has been deposited by hundreds of floods over the last several thousand years.

Flooding there is expected.

And, while we may be seeing heavier rainfall events in the region because the atmosphere is a little warmer now, there have been no detectable increases in either the frequency or magnitude of river floods in the Texas Hill Country since 1965. In fact, they have decreased over the last 60 years, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

In early September 1921, downtown San Antonio was inundated beneath 2-12 feet of floodwaters caused by the decaying remnants of a category one hurricane that made landfall in Mexico. Over two feet of rain fell in the Guadalupe River Valley and Thrall recorded 38.2 inches of rain in 24 hours, including 23.4 inches in just six hours.

On July 2, 1932, Mountain Home recorded 32.4 inches of rain in 18 hours, which was caused by a very similar stalled upper-level low and orographic enhancement.

🔗https://t.co/szKcfzDQfK

The highest 24-hour rainfall I could find from Friday's rainfall was a little over 21 inches, so that was far from record-shattering in the general area.

The associated flooding also wasn’t unprecedented along the Guadalupe River. The crests at all stations were far from the record peak set at Spring Branch in August 1869.

𝐊𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞: Peak crest of 23.40 feet.
• 3rd highest on record at that gauge
• Record: 39.00 ft. on July 2, 1932

𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭: 21.41 ft.
• 2nd highest on record
• Record: 24.27 ft. on October 16, 1978

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭: 34.76 ft.
• 5th highest on record
• Record: 42.3 ft. on July 1, 1869
• Three of the top five highest occurred prior to 1940

𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐦: 49.70 ft.
• Highest in record at that gauge

𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡: 29.33 ft.
• 13th highest on record
• Record: 53.00 ft. on August 3, 1869

The tragedy is appalling enough as it is, and I hope the dozens of people who are still missing are found.

We don't need the added effect of idiots champing at the bit to finger-point and place blame on people, in this case, Republicans, they don't like.

Stop exploiting natural disasters because you view the world through hyperpartisan political lenses.
