But the watches and warnings still went out when they were supposed to. One went a little after 1 AM, hours before the river started to rise. The problem was most of the worst flooding occurred in an area of the "hill country" where there was no cellular service and the camps did not have any NOAH alert radios.

It must be miserable to believe that scientists and experts spent their entire careers lying to you, but a reality TV celebrity with decades of documented fraud is your sole source of truth.

Kerr County officials waited 90 minutes to send emergency alert after requested, dispatch audio shows

In the first three hours after the National Weather Service sent out an alert at 1:14 a.m. on July 4, warning of “life-threatening flash flooding” near Kerrville, Texas, the Guadalupe River would rise 20 feet. Yet local leaders would remain largely unheard from, raising questions about both local preparedness and whether the state of Texas should be doing more to notify flood-prone rural counties when they are in danger.

Camp Mystic, a girls’ camp along the river where at least 27 people lost their lives, experienced severe flooding sometime between 2 and 3 a.m., according to accounts from parents whose children were at the camp. Counselors in one cabin had to force open windows to help young girls get out. “The girls were saying it was a rushing river,” said Lisa Miller, whose 9-year-old daughter, Birdie, had to climb onto a counselor’s back to escape.

At the nearby Presbyterian Mo-Ranch Assembly camp, a facilities manager was awake around 1 a.m. when he saw the rising waters and alerted his boss, which prompted a quick effort to move people to higher ground, camp officials said. No lives were lost.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem waited four days to sign off crucial aid for the Texas floods - but did find time to post on social media about her official portrait.

Four officials at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which falls under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security, told CNN that a newly introduced requirement for Noem’s signature on any contract and grant over $100,000 delayed their response to the flooding in Texas, where 120 people have died and a further 150 are missing.

CNN reported that FEMA was unable to move Urban Search and Rescue crews into position when waters started rising on Friday because it needed Noem’s signature, which did not come until Monday.

What was she doing on Sunday?

History will see that he manufactured chaos because he had nothing good to offer. No vision. No ideas. Just tearing down what others have built, and blaming them for his shortcomings. Generations will be taught he was nothing but a pathetic failure.

US set to destroy 500 tons of US-taxpayer funded emergency food

The United States is set to destroy nearly 500 metric tons of US-taxpayer funded emergency food meant for starving people around the world.

The high-energy, nutrient-dense biscuits have been sitting for months in a warehouse in Dubai, according to a former USAID official.

Now, because they expire this month, they will have to be destroyed – at an extra $100,000 charge to the American taxpayers.

The former official, who spoke anonymously to discuss the details, said the destruction of the critically needed food would not have happened prior to the Trump administration’s destruction of the US Agency for International Development.

“This is the definition of waste,” the former official said.

The Atlantic first reported on the impending destruction of the aid.

Before the administration dismantled USAID, citing alleged waste and fraud, personnel would have kept track of the expiration dates of the food aid. As the dates approached, they would have contacted colleagues to see who needed it, the former official explained, or it could have been donated.

The food could have been sent to places that desperately needed it, like Gaza.

Two rations of biscuits a day is enough to stop people from dying, the former official said but noted that they do not replace real food. They made “perfect sense” in the catastrophic situation of Gaza “because there is no clean water, there’s no way to cook, no oil, no fires,” they said.

The Gaza response has been demobilized, and the people who managed the logistics and planning were fired, the official told CNN.

“It’s just heartbreaking to see with these biscuits, because they’re the perfect emergency food aid, it’s hard to see them go to waste,” they said.

A State Department spokesperson confirmed that emergency food will be destroyed because they were unable to use it before its expiration.

“The expired lot was acquired under the last administration, and purchased as a contingency for needs beyond projections, resulting in the inability to deplete before expiration,” they said. “Unfortunately, this risk is part of always being ready to respond to life-saving humanitarian needs with consumable commodities in remote locations around the world.”

“USAID has had to destroy commodities under previous administrations with similar circumstances – this is not unique,” the spokesperson said.

They said in a statement that the biscuits are “specifically meant for populations that are moving from one place to another such as in the wake of a natural disaster or fleeing from conflict.”

“We currently have high energy biscuits in warehouses around the world, for those most in need,” the spokesperson said. “We always want to avoid destroying any commodities and do our best to find alternate uses for it.”
