Democrats rush to blame the “Department of Government Efficiency cuts to the agency, which did leave some local Texas NWS positions unfilled.” But NWS says it had “adequate staffing” and “adequate technology,” while “independent meteorologists have also defended NWS’s performance.” In short, “The Trump administration’s cuts to NWS didn’t affect this most recent disaster in Texas.” Reality check: The agency “can only do so much in the face of a 1,000-year flood that causes a river to rise 30 feet in a few hours in the middle of the night during the prime recreation season.” The new CIA report on the notorious 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment that fueled the “Russia hoax” indicts a host of familiar characters, but Obama “was behind the entire plot to portray Putin as seeking to help Trump win the 2016 general election.” Obama didn’t just give the nod to the sham, “he knew what he was doing and he knew who would do his bidding.” As the mastermind and ringleader behind the plot, Obama deserves to be a “pariah” and “forever ostracized.” That “Jerusalem and Damascus are in negotiations” for peace, plus Israel’s use of Arab airspace “to take out Iran’s air defenses,” are signs “not of isolation but of integration.” The Times claims the response to the Oct 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack “cemented the view of Israel as a pariah” — yet the paper has been “warning of Israel’s ‘pariah’ status for nearly 20 years.” “Most of Israel’s bad press is made of 100 percent recycled material.” Simply put: “Israel won a defensive war” and “its enemies and critics are struggling to cope.”
