The devastating Texas flood tragedy has been met with heroism, kindness, and, of course, a shocking surge of political spin and falsehoods from the left.

“You get the run-of-the-mill, standard nonsense, of course, from House Democrats saying climate change is obviously a part of the Texas flooding,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere says on “Stu Does America.”

“You can understand the corollary of why you might say something as dumb as that. The issue, of course, is, why would you go to that place right now? I mean, even if you think climate change is the issue, you’re not solving it tomorrow,” he continues. “You don’t need to dance on the graves of all the dead children today to make your political point.”

“But of course, they can’t do that,” he adds, before comparing how CNN’s Dana Bash handled the flooding in North Carolina under Biden versus the way she’s handling the flooding in Texas under Trump.

“The former president is falsely accusing federal relief agencies of maliciously withholding and misusing aid,” Bash said on CNN, playing a clip of Trump blasting Biden for giving North Carolina residents $750 while shelling out billions to foreign countries.

“What you just heard is not true. They’re rumors and they’re lies, and they are hurting the very people that thousands of FEMA emergency responders are trying to help,” she continued.

Now, after the Texas floods, Bash appears to be blaming National Weather Service cuts the Trump administration made, asking Rep. Joaquin Castro, “Do you have any indication whether those or other cuts helped play a role in the fact that the people in the flood zone were not prepared and certainly not evacuated?”

“The National Weather Service did warn about this,” Burguiere comments. “As we pointed out, when you make a warning and it’s the middle of the night and the whole thing develops between midnight and 4 a.m., it’s really, really hard to get enough people awake to avoid tragedy.”

According to NWS meteorologist Jason Runyen, most offices usually have two on staff when the weather is benign, and there were five on staff the night of the storm.

The NWS office also issued a flood watch for the area at 1:18 p.m. on Thursday, which was 15 hours in advance. While a flash flood warning was issued at 1:14 a.m., most residents were likely asleep.

Even a reporter on ABC News explained that “they were actually staffed extra because they knew it would be a big night.”

“Do I think that something happened from the weather service side that was related to that? No. I think that they were staffed fully. I think they did the best they could and put out the warnings in a pretty timely fashion,” the reporter said.

“There you go. I mean, it’s not just the conservatives saying that. If you actually find people who are honest in the media — and you had an example there — they will tell you that this had nothing to do with Trump’s funding issues,” Burguiere adds.

President Donald Trump announced during a Tuesday Cabinet meeting that he is considering a bold strategy to confront the ongoing crime crisis in Washington, D.C.

In the event that the city’s current leadership fails to deliver on significant crime reduction, Trump stated that the White House might intervene.

Trump’s comments were in response to a reporter’s question about the New York City mayoral race and whether he would endorse any of the candidates.

‘We’re thinking about doing it, to be honest with you.’

Trump described Zohran Mamdani as a “communist,” urging voters not to cast their ballots for the Democratic nominee.

“This is a man who’s not very capable, in my opinion, other than he’s got a good line of bulls**t,” Trump stated.

The president stopped short of endorsing any of the remaining candidates, including current New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa.

“I’m not getting involved,” Trump remarked. “But I can tell you this, I used to say, ‘We will not ever be a socialist country.’”

“If a communist gets elected to run New York, it can never be the same. But we have tremendous power at the White House to run places when we have to,” he stated.

“We could run D.C.,” Trump continued.

He explained that the administration is currently “looking at D.C.,” citing the high crime rates.

The president noted that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is “working very closely” with Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) to address crime, adding that the two are “doing all right.”

A year-to-date comparison from the Metropolitan Police reports that violent crimes are down 25% in 2025, with homicides down 2%, sex abuse down 47%, assault with a dangerous weapon down 22%, and robbery down 26%.

Trump contended that if the administration took over D.C., it “would be run so proper.”

“We’re thinking about doing it, to be honest with you,” Trump said. “We want a capital that’s run flawlessly, and it wouldn’t be hard for us to do it.”

Trump later added that his administration has “a good relationship” with Bowser, stating, “We’re testing it to see if it works.”

He returned to discussing New York City, vowing that it would be “run properly.”

“I’m going to bring New York back,” he promised. “I love New York.”

President Donald Trump denied that his administration was exploring an amnesty program for illegal aliens after reports of a whisper campaign advocating the controversial policy emerged.

The president made the comments during a media briefing with Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins when asked about the possibility of an amnesty program.

‘We got to work with the farmers and people that have hotels and leisure properties too. We’re going to work with them, and we’re going to work very strong and smart.’

“There’s no amnesty,” said the president. “What we’re doing is we’re getting rid of criminals, but we are doing a work program.”

“This morning we talked about protecting the farmers and the farmland, but obviously this president’s vision of no amnesty, mass deportation continues,” Rollins explained, “but in a strategic way, and then ensuring that our farmers have the labor that they need.”

“[Labor] Sec. Chavez-DeRemer has been a leader on this. Obviously this comes out of the Labor Department, but moving toward automation, ensuring that our farmers have that workforce, and moving toward an American workforce. So all of the above,” she added.

“We’ve got to give the farmers the people they need, but we’re not talking amnesty,” the president added.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reiterated the message on social media.

“As President Trump just said: No Amnesty,” she wrote.

Opponents of amnesty have become concerned after Trump mentioned that he has heard from farmers and hotel owners that they are struggling to run their businesses because of deportations. He has suggested that the administration might make concessions to allow workers to remain in those industries.

“Farmers, look, they know better. They work with them for years. You had cases that where — not here, but just even over the years — where people have worked on a farm for 14, 15 years, and they get thrown out pretty viciously. And we can’t do it,” said the president on Thursday during a rally in Iowa.

“We got to work with the farmers and people that have hotels and leisure properties too,” he added. “We’re going to work with them, and we’re going to work very strong and smart.”

The president also appeared to anticipate some anger from his supporters over the policy.

“Serious radical-right people, who I also happen to like a lot, they may not be quite as happy,” he said. “But they’ll understand.”

‘We must deliver mass deportations, not amnesty.’

On Monday, various MAGA figures registered their disdain for any amnesty plan that might be considered.

“No amnesty. No debate. No compromise,” replied Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

“There is no other issue the conservative base feels more passionately about than immigration,” responded Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA. “In just a few decades, everyday Americans have watched their country transform into a nation of strangers. We must deliver mass deportations, not amnesty.”

“Any sort of mass amnesty plan would result in a devastating midterm defeat for Republicans in Congress,” Todd Starnes said.

Former President Joe Biden had made immigration amnesty one of the promises of his presidential campaign, but he was never able to pass any bill through Congress.

Trump’s mass deportation plans will likely escalate after the passage of his “big, beautiful bill” of federal funding that includes more than $26 billion in new spending for immigration enforcement.

As the garbage worker strike in Philadelphia continued into its eighth day, the union’s social media account was absolutely obliterated for trying to scold a resident for “scabbing.”

Philadelphia officials have been unable to agree on a wage increase with the AFSCME District Council 33 union, so the group orchestrated a garbage worker strike in an attempt to force lawmakers to cave to their demands.

‘Is the purpose of this to make people hate unions?’

Mountains of garbage are piling up in the “City of Brotherly Love,” and union members are resorting to violence and intimidation in order to achieve their goals. Some industrious residents have figured out that they can make some money on the side by picking up their fellow Philadelphians’ trash for a small fee.

On Sunday, the AFL-CIO union in Philadelphia suggested that residents should avoid “scabbing” by working to ease the garbage crisis. The account pointed to one example of scabbing and responded, “This is scabbing btw and is a pretty bad look tbh.”

The union went on to explain what scabbing was in a second post.

They added, “Scabbing is when union work is done by non union workers while the union is withholding their labor during a strike. In this case, the union has specifically asked the public not to do this or use the dumpsters the city set up. Thus, this what we call a double whammy scab.”

The union’s demand was met with scorn and ridicule by many critics online.

“Unionized government workers are upset that residents might drive their own garbage to the dump. They should — according to the union — just let the garbage sit inside their own homes, rotting, because to do otherwise is a ‘bad look,’ and insufficiently pro-labor. LOL. LMAO,” read one response.

“Yeah if my trash is piling up you can f**k right off with that union BS,” another user said.

“Sorry their willingness to do important public work at a reasonable price is undercutting your attempt at holding the public hostage,” read another response.

“Is the purpose of this to make people hate unions?” Frank Fleming joked.

“The union is claiming that they have a moral monopoly over the concept of removing trash from houses, such that no one is allowed to do that if they forbid it,” another user said. “Ponder for a moment how insane that is.”

The AFSCME District Council 33 union represents about 9,000 municipal workers in Philadelphia.

Jeffrey Tucker, president of the Brownstone Institute, received an alleged leaked document detailing a plot to sabotage Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — and while he admits he doesn’t “know how you authenticate something like this” — he does believe the contents are cause for concern.

The membership of the organization the memo is attributed to includes vaccine manufacturers, drug manufacturers, and hundreds of other biotech firms.

Among those are Pfizer and Merck.

“It’s time to go to the Hill and lobby that it is time for RFK Jr. to go,” reads a document that seems to contain notes from an April 3, 2025, meeting of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization’s Vaccine Policy Steering Committee.

“This document is essentially a summary, or the minutes readout, of this April 3, 2025, meeting, allegedly, in which they are trying to figure out how to get Bobby Kennedy out of office,” BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler explains.

“Now, that in and of itself is not terribly scandalous, except for the fact that they are not interested in the science that Bobby Kennedy is trying to reclaim in public health in our government,” she continues.

While the document’s stated agenda is “to go to the Hill and lobby that it is time for RFK Jr. to go,” that’s not the issue Tucker and Wheeler have with it — but rather how they plan to do it.

“So there are conspiracy theories, and there are conspiracies. This is a conspiracy,” Tucker says, explaining that the group allegedly plans to remove RFK Jr. via creating a divide between MAHA and MAGA.

“So you just assert that RFK is operating at odds with the MAGA agenda. So you want to drive a wedge between those two things and find ways to do that to turn the executive office of the White House against what RFK is doing,” he says, explaining the plan to Wheeler.

Another alleged piece of their plan, Tucker says, is to “divide the MAHA alliance itself by making more diffuse and chaotic the coalition that supports RFK and is looking into the safety of these products.”

“And one of the ways they’re planning to do that is what I think we could call triangulation,” he explains. “You reach out to conservative influencers, they may name several institutions here where they think are vaccine friendly, along with several administration employees that they think are probably weak and sort of corruptible in some way.”

“This memo is very clever,” he continues, adding, “They’re trying to sort of drive a wedge between RFK and the agency’s appointees that he’s named based on their past positions.”

While Tucker and his colleagues remain unsure of the veracity of the document, a spokesman from BIO claims the organization’s vaccine task force had nothing to do with it.

“The purported memo was not produced by BIO. We have never seen or heard of this document, and it certainly does not accurately represent the spirit, strategy, or mission of BIO’s work,” he said. Though, in an interview with the Daily Signal, “He declined to confirm or deny the veracity of the quote about lobbying for Kennedy’s ouster.”

Thousands of teachers gathered in Portland, Oregon, July 3-6 for the annual convention of the National Education Association.

Becky Pringle, the Democratic NEA president who reportedly made over $500,000 while fighting to keep schools closed at kids’ expense between September 2020 and August 2021, made abundantly clear in her keynote address on July 3 that America’s largest teachers’ union is little more than a radical political entity. She indicated that now, more than ever, the union seeks to undermine the American people’s democratically elected president, his government, and those state governments that would dare depoliticize the classroom, spare children from leftist propaganda, dismantle DEI, and uphold parental rights.

“Our country is depending on us, on this community, to lead the way from dogmatism back to decency,” Pringle said in her speech, which she mainly shouted at her audience.

Although the NEA resolutions passed at the convention were apparently kept private this year, Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the American Culture Project and a visiting fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, obtained a copy. The resolutions, referred to as business items, reveal precisely how the radical union intends to wield its power in the coming months.

“It looks like a declaration of war on the Trump administration,” DeAngelis told Blaze News.

‘You really can’t make this stuff up.’

“We already knew that the NEA was basically an arm of the Democrat Party based on their campaign contributions. Nearly all of their political funding is funneled to Democrats’ campaign coffers every single election cycle, and we knew that the NEA supported Kamala Harris in the presidential election,” DeAngelis continued. “But these resolutions take it up a notch.”

According to the images of the documents obtained by DeAngelis and corroborated in a report in Education Week, one of the business items adopted at the convention obligates the NEA to “defend against Trump’s embrace of fascism by using the term facism [sic] in NEA materials to correctly characterize Donald Trump’s program and actions.”

The NEA indicated that the price tag on this initiative is an “additional $3,500.”

“You really can’t make this stuff up,” DeAngelis said. “You have the nation’s largest teachers’ union, in their attempt to call the president a ‘fascist,’ misspell the word. It’s another bit of free advertising for school choice and homeschooling.”

— (@)

Another business item adopted at the convention, according to the documents provided by DeAngelis, commits the union to using “existing media channels to oppose any move to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education as an illegal, anti-democratic, and racist attempt to destroy public education and privatize it in the interest of the billionaires.”

“I don’t know how in the world they can say getting rid of the Department of Education, which has failed at every academic metric for low-income and minority kids, is somehow racist,” DeAngelis told Blaze News. “If anything, keeping that department around has more roots in racism than anything since it has failed to close achievement gaps and to get black kids, in particular, at proficiency levels in reading and math.”

‘They’re trying to subvert the will of parents.’

The documents provided by DeAngelis indicate that the NEA, which equated states’ rights with Jim Crow, also adopted a business item to support “affiliates in states where legislative bodies have taken or are taking actions that silence educators, restrict collective bargaining, remove fair dismissal protections, or other actions that negatively affect public education, educators, and potential voter suppression laws that seek to undermine public education.”

According to the language of this business item, which singles out Arkansas and South Carolina as states in “extreme need,” the support could take various forms, including lobbying, providing legal assistance, and “mobilizing retired and current NEA members.”

The teachers’ union appears keen to continue turning American students against their government, in part by championing student protests against both law enforcement and Trump’s policies.

“NEA opposes Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) kidnapping of student leaders and supports students’ right to organize against ICE raids and deportations,” says business item 63, among those apparently adopted at the convention. “We will protect our students’ right to free speech and defend their right to dissent and organize against Trump’s policies, including attacks against LGBTQ+ students, and against racism.”

— (@)

Such efforts might have to wait a year, as the NEA indicated that “this item cannot be accomplished with current staff and resources under the 2025-26 Modified Strategic Plan and Budget.”

In addition to supporting student uprisings, the documents provided by DeAngelis indicate the NEA adopted another resolution declaring its support for mass movements against the government, including the “No Kings” protests and the anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions in Los Angeles.

When asked about the relevance of the NEA’s agenda to parents, DeAngelis said, “These resolutions are your wake-up call to homeschool your kids,” and reiterated, “It’s free advertising for school choice.”

“Would you want these lunatics at the National Education Association like Becky Pringle teaching your kids? Do you want them to help you raise your children? Do you want them to push back against everything you’re trying to do in the household?” said DeAngelis. “They’re trying to subvert the will of parents.”

DeAngelis underscored that teachers’ unions don’t regard schools as a place for kids to read, write, and learn math but rather as the means “to control the minds of other people’s children” and “churn out more Democrat foot soldiers to push their progressive worldview on the rest of the country.”

“We must use our power to take action that leads, action that liberates, action that lasts,” Pringle said in her speech, adding that the NEA is going to “educate, communicate, organize, mobilize, litigate, legislate, elect.”

Blaze News has reached out to the NEA for comment and to confirm the authenticity of the provided documents.
