Dumb far left - this perfect storm was exacerbated by cuts at the NWS.

Dumb far right - this perfect storm was exacerbated by forestry mismanagement.

Normal Americans - natural disasters happen. Let’s help our neighbors and keep politics out of it.

Regarding reducing the fuel load, in an interview four months ago, Newsom said that there are “Hundreds of millions of dead trees” in the state and that it cost his father $35,000 to clear “a small little patch of dead trees” on his property.

Newsom didn’t admit it, but the outrageous cost to remove a few dead trees from private land is a consequence of California’s Byzantine environmental regulatory patchwork.

This is California’s big secret: it’s not climate change that’s burning up the forests, killing people, and destroying hundreds of homes; it’s decades of environmental mismanagement that has created a tinderbox of unharvested timber, dead trees, and thick underbrush.

This dangerous situation attracted attention from President Donald Trump who, during the height of California’s wildfires last year insisted that “There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor."

The irony is that forest management is so bad on public lands that a new report, ordered by the California legislature in 2010, shows that the portion of California's National Forests protected from timber harvesting is now a net contributor to atmospheric carbon dioxide due to fires and trees killed by insects and disease.

So it’s OK….lol

You're ok with your boy Joe, and kamala completely botching FL, NC, and TN, but are bothered by Ted being on a planned vacation before anything happened.

What exactly do you expect, he was already in Greece??

Name one thing that he could have done to make a difference in TX, that he couldn't do in Greece.

Ted Cruz Caught on Vacation Abroad During Texas Tragedy--Again

The Swamp can exclusively reveal that Ted Cruz stayed in Greece and continued to sightsee as rescuers scoured the floodwaters in Central Texas that killed at least 100 people, including 27 campers and counselors from a summer camp.

The Texas senator was spotted visiting the Parthenon in the Greek capital, Athens, with his wife, Heidi, on Saturday evening. That was a day after Camp Mystic announced that more than 20 girls had gone missing in the floodwaters.

On Saturday, July 5, at about 6 p.m. local time (11 a.m. ET)—more than 24 hours after the Guadalupe River burst its banks—Cruz and his wife were spotted by a Swamp spy lining up outside the iconic tourist site.

“He was with his family and a lone security guard,” said an eyewitness at the Parthenon. “As he walked past us, I simply said, ‘20 kids dead in Texas and you take a vacation?’

“He sort of grunted and walked on. His wife shot me a dirty look. Then they continued on with their tour guide.”

and he accomplished more from Greece, in the first few hours after, than Joe, or Kamala did combined for Fla, and NC disasters

I'm too lazy to check, how much would 3 days admission and parking be?

Regardless of Democrats or Republicans the Government has proven they could run a successful business if they were in the private sector.

Since they are the keeper of Social Security if your relying on Social Security in your financial plan you are already in trouble.

Did you mean couldn't ???

Because there is absolutly no way, you can convince me that the majority of politicians, or government employees could run a business.

Professional gamblers may need to find a new profession.

The final version of the big, beautiful bill that will be signed into law by President Trump on Friday contains the tax provision that limits deductions for losses to 90 percent. It has caused widespread consternation among those who make their living by gambling. And by those who make their living by getting people to gamble.

Representative Dina Titus (D-Nevada), whose district includes Las Vegas, believes that the new law will nudge people away from legal gambling to illegal operations.

NBC Sports

I learned something new today...

The American Gaming Association, the casino industry's lobbying body, praised the passage of the bill in a statement: "We commend congressional leaders on the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Our industry's ability to sustain quality jobs and deliver economic benefits is significantly enhanced by the tax policies of OBBBA that support consumers, encourage business innovation and investment, and strengthen U.S. competitiveness. We look forward to President Trump's expected signing and will work closely with Congress in the coming months to address the changes to wagering deduction losses and further modernize the tax code."

A better explanation here:

Within the Internal Revenue Code, the bill states that bettors will only be allowed to deduct 90% of their losses against 100% of their gains in any given year, a significant change to the current law that allows bettors to deduct 100% of losses against gains. The law would go into effect on January 1, 2026

Honestly I'm shocked that they have been able to deduct 100% of their losses
