| THE AFTERMATH |
While some survivors are being found, many with incredible stories of survival, some of the bodies of those who have perished are being recovered, and families are now having to deal with the horrible, sudden, devastating loss of loved ones.
Among the missing are many young girls from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp in Kerr County located near the Guadalupe River. Those young girls and a camp counselor remain missing according to Texas officials.
Among the missing are many young girls from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp in Kerr County located near the Guadalupe River. Those young girls and a camp counselor remain missing according to Texas officials.
Camp Mystic, a Christian girls' camp situated on the banks of the Guadalupe River in Texas, apparently suffered the worst losses just before daybreak on Friday, the Fourth of July, amid a torrential downpour, when the river rose 27 feet in just 45 minutes. It rose 27 feet in about 45 minutes. That's incredible.
A news report this morning said, "More than 80 people have been confirmed dead in the floods. Camp Mystic has confirmed that at least 27 girls and counsellors are among them. Of course, besides those organized camps, there were many other campers in the area for the holiday weekend when the flash flood struck. And now, more rain is forecast, which will make the rescue effort even harder. Days after the deluge, hope is fading, and this is rapidly becoming a recovery exercise more than a rescue mission." Of course, Texas is blessed with having Governor Greg Abbott, who has vowed to "stop at nothing" until every missing person is found.
For me, I'm impressed by those of us whose better Angels rise up to meet the needs of others during such tragedies. A report in the news today talked about how Petty Officer 3rd Class Scott Ruskan, 26, was singled out by U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for his efforts saving 165 victims as the only triage coordinator at the scene of the floods.
Kerr County Sheriff's Office says that as of 1:30pm, Sunday, they had recovered 68 deceased in Kerr County, stating, "Among those who are deceased, we have 40 adults and 28 children. Eighteen adults are pending identification, and 10 children also pending identification. At present, there are 10 Camp Mystic campers unaccounted for, along with one counselor. We continue to have hundreds of officers, deputies, and support staff working every aspect of this emergency, along with air, water, K9, and other assets conducting search and rescue."
In her TikTok video, Perkins' racist ugliness wasn't restricted to just Whites as she also slammed Asians and something she called "Token Blacks." You can read this for yourself from what she said in her video when Perkins stated, "But Camp Mystic is a Whites-only girls Christian camp. They don't even have a token Asian, they don't have a Token Black person.
Imagine for a moment just how warped you have to be to spout political talking points during a time like this. But that's how I see such Democrat rhetoric today, especially when they say, as Perkins said, "They want you to have sympathy for these people. They want to get out of your bed and to come out of your home and to go find these people and to donate your money to go to find these people. Meanwhile, they are deporting your family members. Meanwhile, they're setting up concentration camps and prisons for your family members. And I need you all to keep that in mind before you all get out there and put on your rain boots and go find these little girls."
Families are grieving their loss. And as for the families whose loved one will always live with the trauma of what took place, they are praying that their children survive such an ordeal with minimal scars. And frankly, Democrats who think like Perkins should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.
According to reports, Camp Mystic has been operated by the same family for generations. It has been a place that offers girls a chance to grow "spiritually" in a "wholesome" Christian atmosphere. It's said that the Christian summer camp has been a place of laughter, prayer, camaraderie, and fun. Yes, a place for girls to swim, canoe, ride horses, and form lifelong friendships.
Many of the hundreds of girls at the camp were sleeping in bunk beds in low-lying cabins less than 500 feet from the riverbank. And while those cabins were hit the worst, even cabins at higher elevations on hills were hit by the rising water. It had to be a horribly chaotic scene in the early morning darkness as those children fought for dear life. I can't imagine the sheer terror of the rushing waters carrying trees, mud, and all sorts of debris, consuming their camp, and the children trying to make it to safety.
The beauty of the Guadalupe River draws so many to the area, and the floodwaters arrived with almost no warning, ripping through the picturesque riverfront area that I'm told is home to nearly 20 youth camps. And while Camp Mystic suffered the greatest loss of life, state and county officials say the scale of the disaster is far-reaching.
Another summer camp, the all-girls camp Heart O' the Hills, was also hit by the deluge. I read that while it was fortunate for that camp that it was out of session at the time, it still suffered the tragic loss of the camp's co-owner and director, Jane Ragsdale, who is among the dead.
So now, there are those who will inevitably ask why those summer camps were situated so close to a river or why more was not done to evacuate the children in time?
For me, I like the response Republican Congressman Chip Roy, who represents the area, has given to those questions. Acknowledging the devastation while urging caution against premature blame, Congressman Roy said, "The response is going to be, 'We've gotta move all these camps - why would you have camps down here by the water? Well, you have camps by the water because it's by the water. You have camps near the river because it's a beautiful and wonderful place to be."

A report in the news today talked about how Petty Officer 3rd Class Scott Ruskan, 26, was singled out by U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for his efforts saving 165 victims as the only triage coordinator at the scene of the floods.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted the following on her social media account on X: "United States Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer and Petty Officer Scott Ruskin (Ruskan), directly saved an astonishing 165 victims in the devastating flooding in central Texas. This was the first rescue mission of his career and he was the only triage coordinator at the scene. Scott Ruskin is an American hero. His selfless courage embodies the spirit and mission of the @USCG."

A Houston Democrat Says The Rescue Effort Is All About White Privilege.
So while the better part of humanity shows it's most admirable attributes in the form of people such as people as U.S. Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer Petty Officer Scott Ruskan and all of the hundreds of officers, deputies, volunteers, and support from communities and so many agencies, we get another look at the ugliness that is Democrat hate for White Americans.
It is absolutely pathetic that Democrats have to make everything, including such a tragedy and horrible loss of life, about race and hate for Whites. The Democrat who found a microphone to spew her hate for White Americans is a former Houston appointee who claims flood-ravaged Camp Mystic is "Whites-only, Conservative, [and] Christian."
Sade Perkins, a former member of the Houston Food Insecurity Board, made the claims about Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas, in a TikTok video this last weekend. The office of Houston Mayor John Whitmire confirmed that Perkins was appointed by former Mayor Sylvester Turner in 2023, and her term expired in January 2025.
In her TikTok video, Perkins' racist ugliness wasn't restricted to just Whites as she also slammed Asians and something she called "Token Blacks." You can read this for yourself from what she said in her video when Perkins stated, "But Camp Mystic is a Whites-only girls Christian camp. They don't even have a token Asian, they don't have a Token Black person.
Perkins claimed, "It is a all White, White-only conservative Christian camp. If you ain't White, you ain't right. You ain't getting in, you ain't going, period."
Then, Perkins had the nerve to try to say, "It's not to say that we don't want the girls to be found, whatever girls that are missing… but you best believe, especially in today's political climate, if this were a group of Hispanic girls…. this would not be getting this type of coverage that they're getting. No one would give a f--k."
As unbelievable, as that asinine statement is, it just shows how Democrats are totally ignorant and utterly filled with hate for White Americans today. She even went so far vain concern by saying "hope[s] they all get found," before going on to say the last thing that the families needed to hear by suggested that there was too much sympathy for those killed in the floods.
Imagine for a moment just how warped you have to be to spout political talking points during a time like this. But that's how I see such Democrat rhetoric today, especially when they say, as Perkins said, "They want you to have sympathy for these people. They want to get out of your bed and to come out of your home and to go find these people and to donate your money to go to find these people. Meanwhile, they are deporting your family members. Meanwhile, they're setting up concentration camps and prisons for your family members. And I need you all to keep that in mind before you all get out there and put on your rain boots and go find these little girls."
Families are grieving their loss. And as for the families whose loved one will always live with the trauma of what took place, they are praying that their children survive such an ordeal with minimal scars. And frankly, Democrats who think like Perkins should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.
Now, before someone writes to tell me that she is only speaking what she sees as the "truth," please understand that Democrats today are the worst of their long history of hate. Their truth is delusion. From not admitting that "trans-women" are gay men, to their inability to identify what a woman is, to their inability to prosecute Illegal Aliens for breaking the law, they are delusional because they are detached from reality. But worst, their delusions fuel their hate for others who are not like them.
For those Democrats who feel such deep hate for White Americans, hate us to such an extent that they are okay with having sold their soul just to keep their hate burning, hate so deep that you have lost all compassion for other suffering for such loss, our society is wronged by their low character. And yes, such people are low-character individuals. The lowest.
What makes them the way they are? Why would even the Texas flash flood disaster bring out the ugliness of Democrat hate for White Americans? Who knows. The hate coming from Democrats runs deeper than most of us will ever be able to understand.
