Critics of former President Donald Trump quickly attempted to assign blame to his management&#8217;s management of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service (NWS), arguing that cuts to these agencies contributed to the disaster. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bill-gates-secretly-tries-to-help-kamala-harris-win-with-unprecedented-move\/\" title=\"Bill Gates Secretly Tries to Help Kamala Harris Win with Unprecedented Move\">social media reactions included accusations<\/a> that failures in weather forecasting led to the tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>However,the article cites the publication wired,which noted that the NWS had issued warnings well in advance of the flooding and that the agency performed it&#8217;s duties effectively during the crisis. Contradictory claims about staffing shortages were also addressed, revealing that, contrary to some narratives, there were extra staff on duty.<\/p>\n<p>The article concludes that there was no failure on the part of the NWS and that the flooding was primarily a natural disaster, indicating a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-republican-rep-jody-hice-demands-answers-from-defense-sec-lloyd-austin-over-removal-of-space-force-officer\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: Republican Rep.

According to the AP, the National Weather Service actually had &ldquo;extra staffers&rdquo; on duty.<\/p>\n<p>So let&rsquo;s recap: There was no failure to warn the public. The agency was not understaffed. And the flooding was caused by nature, not Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, one Texas pediatrician took to social media in the middle of the flooding to say she hoped &ldquo;MAGA residents get what they voted for.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>As Mediaite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/politics\/texas-pediatrician-suspended-and-removed-over-viral-flood-rant-hoping-maga-residents-get-what-they-voted-for\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>, that doctor has since been suspended and removed from her position.<\/p>\n<p>This is the face of modern liberalism: celebrating tragedy, pushing falsehoods, and blaming political opponents for acts of God.<\/p>\n<p>For context, Wired <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/nation\/texas-officials-face-scrutiny-over-lack-of-evacuation-orders-before-deadly-flooding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is considered<\/a> a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rnc-chair-condemns-biden-abortion-policy\/\" title=\"RNC chair condemns Biden abortion policy\">left-leaning outlet<\/a> by AllSides, which categorizes the publication as having a &ldquo;Left&rdquo; media bias.<\/p>\n<p>So when even Wired feels compelled to publish a piece defending the Trump-era NWS from blame, you know the left&rsquo;s narrative is unraveling.<\/p>\n<p>The facts are clear: The National Weather Service operated as intended.<\/p>\n<p>Warnings were issued. Staff were on hand.
