White House SHUTS DOWN ‘Fake News’ On Texas Flood Warnings | NWS Gave ‘Early Alerts’, Was ‘Fully…’
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt forcefully rebutted media reports blaming the National Weather Service (NWS) for the catastrophic Texas flooding, which left at least 82 dead.
In a fiery press briefing, Leavitt dismissed claims that NWS offices were understaffed or delayed in issuing warnings.
“Fake news,” she said, confirming San Angelo and San Antonio offices had full meteorologist teams—12 and 11 forecasters, respectively.
She detailed that initial weather risk alerts were issued as early as July 2, with escalating warnings on July 3 and an official flood watch by 1:18 P.M.
Leavitt emphasized that warnings were “early and consistent,” despite the flood striking during early morning hours.
As questions swirl over the government’s disaster readiness, the White House insists the systems in place worked — and that misleading narratives must stop.
The press secretary’s remarks mark a key moment in the intensifying political fallout surrounding the Texas tragedy.
During an August 18 meeting, President Donald Trump did not rule out sending U.S. troops to Ukraine as part of potential peace and security guarantees, signaling a major shift in his stance. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt outlined the administration’s plans and addressed questions on whether American forces might be sent to Kyiv. The comments highlight Trump’s evolving position on the Ukraine conflict, sparking debate on U.S. foreign policy, NATO commitments, and the future of America’s role in European security.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fiercely pushed back at a reporter who accused President Trump of disrespecting Europe during his latest call with Vladimir Putin.

In a fiery press briefing, Leavitt ruled out "American boots on the ground" in Ukraine, firmly shutting down the possibility of direct U.S. troop deployment. But in a surprise twist, she hinted that Trump is considering aerial support — raising the prospect of U.S. jets flying near or over Russian-controlled territory.

White House Press Secretary blasted mainstream media for spreading “fake news” about U.S. negotiations with Russia and Ukraine. She accused left-leaning outlets of deliberately undermining President Trump’s efforts, arguing that many in the press have been “rooting against the President of the United States and the pursuit of peace.” The sharp rebuke underscores growing tensions between the administration and media over foreign policy narratives. As talks remain sensitive, the administration insists its focus is on achieving peace while dismissing what it calls politically motivated reporting.

Hawaii’s Kīlauea volcano erupted again early Wednesday morning, unleashing a spectacular 300-foot lava fountain in its 30th eruption in under a year. The U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) confirmed that “vigorous fountaining” erupted from the Halemaʻumaʻu crater around 1:20 a.m. local time. Lava spewed from the north vent, reaching between 150 and 300 feet, while USGS live cameras captured the molten display from multiple angles. An orange aviation alert has been issued due to the eruption, but nearby airports remain unaffected.
Since December 23, 2024, Kīlauea’s eruptive cycle has continued with brief, dramatic episodes. The National Weather Service warned that volcanic gas and ash could drift south, potentially impacting nearby communities. Despite the awe-inspiring natural show, scientists caution that these eruptions can be unpredictable and potentially hazardous. Kīlauea remains one of Earth’s most active volcanoes-and it’s showing no signs of slowing down.

A catastrophic 8.8-magnitude earthquake near Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula has unleashed tsunami waves across the Pacific. Sirens blared as Hawaii, California, and Washington were hit by powerful surges. The National Weather Service confirms wave activity from Arena Cove to La Push. Millions in Japan were ordered to evacuate as 9-foot waves threaten the eastern coastline. This is one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded — and the tsunami danger is far from over.

Torrential rains have crippled New York City and New Jersey, prompting emergency declarations as flash floods paralyze subways, roads, and airports. The National Weather Service reported rainfall reaching up to 3 inches per hour, with totals potentially hitting six inches. Videos show flooded streets and submerged vehicles across both states. Transit services are suspended in multiple areas, including Queens and Staten Island. Officials are urging residents to stay indoors as storm cells move in waves, worsening the situation across the region.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is facing intense criticism after calling the deadly Texas floods—claiming over 100 lives—an “act of God.” The comment came as search and rescue efforts continued in Kerr County, where floodwaters swept through homes and Camp Mystic. Critics argue the Trump administration’s underfunding of FEMA and the National Weather Service worsened the crisis. During a press conference, reporters challenged Leavitt over delayed alerts and lack of preparedness. The backlash grows as families demand accountability for a preventable disaster.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has ignited a heated feud with Donald Trump over GOP-led redistricting efforts in Texas, warning of a national “map arms race.” After Democrats blocked a Republican vote in Texas, Newsom mocked Trump on social media, vowing to retaliate by redrawing California’s maps to offset Republican gains. He accused Trump of undermining democracy and urged him to pressure Texas Governor Greg Abbott to halt the plan. Critics warn Newsom’s retaliation could erode Democrats’ moral stance on fair redistricting.

U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a fiery attack on Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), calling her “Low (Very!!!) I.Q.” and challenging her to take a cognitive exam. In a scathing Truth Social post, Trump compared Crockett to members of the progressive “AOC Plus Three” squad and claimed she was “only slightly dumber.”
He boasted about “acing” his own test during a recent physical at a military hospital, alleging Democrats would “fail” in “a spectacular show of stupidity and incompetence.” Crockett, a vocal Trump critic, recently called him a “piece of s---” during a public event, drawing national headlines. The feud comes as Texas Republicans push to redraw congressional districts in their favor.

A dramatic showdown erupts in Texas as 51 Democratic lawmakers flee the state, heading to Illinois to block a Republican redistricting map backed by former President Donald Trump.
The GOP-drafted map would add five Republican-leaning seats to the U.S. House, but Democrats say it's a blatant power grab that silences millions of voters. Without the two-thirds quorum needed to proceed, Governor Greg Abbott’s special session is now in chaos.
As the redistricting war intensifies, Democrats call this political exile a fight for democracy, while Republicans label it cowardice. Will the runaway lawmakers succeed—or be hunted down, fined, or even removed from office?

Elon Musk’s much-hyped new political party has reportedly stalled just two months after its launch. Sources say Musk is retreating amid GOP pushback, fearing damage to ties with Republican leadership, especially VP JD Vance. The Tesla billionaire has suspended meetings, distanced himself from allies like Andrew Yang, and shifted focus back to Republican politics. Despite once pledging millions for his own party, Musk may now redirect support toward Vance’s 2028 White House run. Critics argue Musk lacks the credibility and infrastructure to build a lasting third-party force.
