While most of us were celebrating
the 4th of July festivities, families in
central Texas were searching for loved ones, hoping to find survivors amid the
catastrophic flooding that started with little warning in the dark hours
before sunrise. Before the flood waters had receded, Democrat politicos and
hordes of their unhinged leftist surrogates, proxies, bootlickers, sycophants,
toadies emerged to blame Trump for the flooding and deaths. As with all
mass-casualty incidents over the last 10-20 years across our nation, there
emerging among the tragic accounts of heroism and personal sacrifice come
fabrications, innuendos, denouncements, inaccuracies... all before the tragedy
had waned and rescue had turned to recovery.
But just as predictable in the wake of a mass-casualty
incident, before the flood waters had receded and rescue had turned to recovery
the Democrat ingenuous misanthropists blamed Trump, claiming the tragedy was
the result of vacancies at the National Weather Service (NWS). Fact: additional
personnel were in the weather center covering the affected area. ABC’s talking
head George Stephanopoulos, who claimed erroneously, “We’re also learning there
were significant staffing shortfalls to the National Weather Services offices
in the region.” A CNN anchor asserted that climate change and Trump are
responsible... editor of Medias Touch News, protested: “The people in Texas voted
for government services controlled by Donald Trump and Greg Abbott. Occupy
Democrats claimed that Trump's NOAA budget cuts contributed to fatalities in
Texas during Tropical Storm Barry. Across the country, Democratic leaders,
including Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, blamed President Trump,
emphasizing the importance of accurate weather forecasting for disaster
prevention. Murphy’s message: “There are consequences to Trump’s brainless
attacks on public workers, like meteorologists.” Really! Passing blame has
become contagious among many of the Left’s Congressional Representatives and their
kindred MSM magpies.
Let’s go back in time to 29 January 2025. This was like
Democrats attributing Trump for the last mass-casualty accident between
American Airlines 5342 and an Army Black Hawk helicopter, asserting there were
vacancies in the Air Traffic Control tower. If my memory serves me correctly,
those vacancies occurred under the previous administration. Meanwhile, families
continue grieving after a catastrophic natural weather incident. For his part,
Trump straightaway activated federal search and rescue resources and will
visit the devastated area soon.
Word to the wise: People tend to
remember more about what you do than what you say. Just look down at the
hallowed halls of history to bear this out. Hence, with the political campaign
machine beginning to ramp up for another mid-term season, many candidates,
including incumbents, will begin to face this truth again as voters weigh what
was said versus what was done. Should the two agree they will most likely be
reelected without a problem but if they do not match up, the latest and newest
imperious chatterboxes will take over. Lest we forget, “if
you’re going to talk the talk you better walk the walk”, “practice what you
preach”, “well done is better than well said” and “talk is cheap” have all had
their heydays for essentially the same thing. We all want action more than we
want words. While words are good for some things when it comes to the important
things in life, like leadership, character, love, emotional connection,
promises or even spiritual revelations don’t just tell me with words rather
define it with action! In other words, what have you done lately. Should we
make a mistake and live out our humanity rather than acknowledge it, apologize
for it, make any amends necessary and then get back doing what’s best for America’s citizenry. For those who
proclaim to be Christians, I say look no further than our Savior’s own
example. It is important to remember that he demonstrated his
principles not only through words, but also through his actions. Should we make a mistake and live out our humanity before
them rather than Jesus Christ’s example, we need to acknowledge it, apologize
for the flawed example, make any amends necessary and then get back into
following our Savior’s own example after all, He was one who didn’t just tell
us with words, He showed us with His own actions!
