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.

‘It Was A Mistake…’ Israel ADMITS “Mistake” After Gaza Church Strikes | Trump BLASTS Netanyahu [Video]

‘It Was A Mistake…’ Israel ADMITS “Mistake” After Gaza Church Strikes | Trump BLASTS Netanyahu

Gaza Church Strike: In a rare public rebuke, President Trump personally phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic Church, the Holy Family Church. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump’s reaction was "not positive," and said Netanyahu agreed the strike was a mistake. Israel has expressed deep regret, stating stray ammunition hit the church, killing three civilians and injuring nine, including the parish priest. The incident, which has drawn international condemnation—from the Vatican to Italy and France—adds fresh strain to U.S.–Israel relations. Netanyahu pledged a full investigation, emphasizing Israel’s commitment to protecting civilians and holy sites. As global outrage mounts over one of Gaza's most sacred landmarks being struck, Trump's demand for accountability signals growing U.S. intolerance of collateral harm amidst the Gaza conflict. #TrumpNetanyahuCall #GazaChurchStrike #HolyFamilyChurch #IsraelMistake #UScallsForJustice #CollateralDamage #GazaConflict #CatholicChurchGaza #TrumpRebukesIsrael #NetanyahuRegrets #InternationalCondemnation #VaticanResponse #ProtectCivilians #HumanitarianCrisis #MiddleEastDiplomacy #WarEthics #ReligiousSiteSafety #GazaWar #TrumpDiplomacy #GlobalOutrage ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.125~

Trump Calls Reporter “Evil” Over Texas Flood Warning Question, Defends FEMA Funding And Abbott

President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter during a Texas flood roundtable, calling the question about lack of early warnings “very evil.” Visiting Central Texas following massive flash floods that left over 100 dead, Trump praised FEMA and Governor Greg Abbott’s response team, pledging swift federal aid. The Texas “Flash Flood Alley” region suffered rapid water surges, catching communities unprepared. Trump claimed “fully funded within minutes” and commended responders. He reiterated that such rapid flooding was unprecedented, dismissing criticisms. Republican Rep. Chip Roy defended him, calling the question “ridiculous.” Trump also avoided answer on future FEMA role. With casualties including at least 27 campers in Kerr County, the event highlighted his administration's partnership with Texas officials. His remarks stirred controversy over leadership tone and disaster preparedness in face of growing climate disasters. #Trump #TexasFloods #FlashFloodAlley #TrumpVsReporter #FEMA #GregAbbott #CrisisResponse #TrumpSlamsReporter #TexasDisaster #FloodWarnings #Evacuation #TexasHillCountry #DisasterFunding #ClimateCrisis #TrumpRoundtable #FloodVictims #KerrCounty #MediaScrutiny #RepublicanDefense #FloodPreparedness ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~

‘Kamala Should Be Jailed!’ Trump ACCUSES Democrats Of Illegal Celebrity Payments | 2024 Elections

U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited a political firestorm by accusing the Democratic Party of committing “fraud” during the 2024 election campaign. In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed that Democrats paid millions to celebrities for endorsements—an act he called “totally illegal.” He alleged $11 million was funneled to Beyoncé, $3 million to Oprah Winfrey, and $600,000 to Reverend Al Sharpton. Trump emphasized that none of the celebrities performed or contributed meaningfully, calling it a misuse of campaign funds and accusing them of falsifying financial records. He concluded with a demand for the prosecution of Vice President Kamala Harris and others “who broke the law.” Trump's latest explosive allegations have reignited debates on the legality of political endorsements, celebrity influence in elections, and campaign financing ethics. His claims, if proven, could carry legal and electoral consequences. The White House and Democratic Party are yet to respond. #TrumpVsKamala #EndorsementScandal #CelebrityFraud #BeyoncePolitics #TrumpTruthSocial #KamalaHarris #ElectionFraudClaims #CampaignCorruption #PoliticalEndorsement #OprahWinfrey #DonaldTrumpNews #Sharpton #DemocratsScandal #IllegalPayments #BreakingPolitics #TrumpAllegesFraud #2024ElectionControversy #TruthSocialPost #TrumpDemandsProsecution ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.125~
