Rain, flood in Texas gets worse (live)

LIVE: Texas floods | Hundreds rescued from flooding in Texas as waters continue rising in Houston

(CNN-News) May 4, 2024: At least 178 people have been rescued from homes and vehicles in Harris County, Texas, an official said Saturday, with more rain expected over the weekend in the wake of strong storms and downpours that damaged homes and triggered evacuations, a catastrophe leading to mold infestation, homelessness, and financial ruin. Who's manipulating the weather? No, this is Texas, so God is angry and just paying the state back for endless sinfulness and not doing enough proselytizing against non-Christians.  #texas #usa #texasfloods #news18live

Houston, Texas flood: a Dubai downpour

Storm brings heavy flooding to South Texas

Houston floods: rain pummels TX; some facing
 'life-threatening' conditions (ABC7 Chicago)

(CBS Evening News) May 2, 2024: A powerful storm caused flooding in southeast Texas Thursday (and has continued into Friday, May 2, 2024). A neighborhood in northern Houston was washed out, and up to eight inches of rain fell in Livingston, flooding homes and roads. [One cannot help but be reminded of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and the disastrous alleged attempt to manipulate the weather and produce more rain by cloud seeding just as the American military did when it weaponized rain during its War on Vietnam, with the preposterous plan of flooding the jungle to drown out the Viet Cong resistance fighters opposing the U.S. invasion, rape, torture, illegal bombing, and attempt to establish yet another resource-rich colony in the world after the French Empire abandoned their settler colonial projects in Indochina.] Omar Villafranca reports.

Is there enough booze in the state to pass out?

(ABC News) Tornadoes and flash flooding hit Texas, May 3, 2024: God loves Texas and watches over them as he sends them a flood to remind them of Noah's flood with a wink. Remember, Christian Republican gun-toting, Bible-thumping Texans: "As in the times of Noah." At least one tornado was confirmed near Abilene as parts of Texas also reported 28 inches of rain in 48 hours. Meanwhile, the heathen state of California is warm, sunny, and has its reservoirs full because the God favors the West Coast. Remember, Texas, when the Civil War comes, we'll be comrades in the "Western Front" just like in the new movie. Until then, there's no climate change or anything like that. This is all just normal, unmanipulated, HAARP free, non-cloud-seeded chemtrail rain from God. ABC News’ Sam Champion has the latest severe weather threats.

Texas hit by 15 days of Niagra Falls (video)

Seth Auberon, Ashley Wells, CC Liu, Crystal Quintero, Wisdom Quarterly

Niagara Falls in Canada/USA spills over a tremendous flow. Houston got 15 days worth.

Oh, Harvey, rain god, please stop raining.

When Hurricane Harvey (Spanish-language coverage) started heading toward Huston, we wanted to put a headline like, "Why does God hate Texas?" It's a very Christian place.
 

And what it lacks in Protestant white supremacist "patriots" it makes up for in conservative Catholic Hispanics and Latinos. But remember, it's also the Deep South, so it has plenty of antebellum sentiments and abuse victims.

Who knew that Huston was the most diverse city in the country? Surely that title always went to Los Angeles, if not New York City. Times (and demographics) they are a changin'. No one could imagine that all the rain predicted would do this much harm and be doubled.

Harvey's other victims: pets, animals

The ocean water there was the hottest in the country at about 86-87 degrees, fueling the storm and contributing moisture that rained back down on the flat flood plain (making this a man made disaster rather than a natural disaster, to say nothing of human contributions to climate chaos). The flooding is enormous. But how much water is a few trillion gallons?

Texas has received the equivalent of 15 days' worth of Niagara Falls spillage. One second would inundate any place. In drought-stricken Southern California we were making due with the mist that comes off the famous Canadian-American falls, but spreading it out over a year.

"Project X" inspires deadly party (video)

VIDEO: Teen killed at party inspired by movie

A free-for-all in a Houston, Texas mansion that was meant to emulate the new teen sex romp movie "Project X" turns deadly after drawing 500 to 1,000 guests.

• The Hedonism of "Project X"
  

(NoGoodFlix) "Project X," produced by Todd Phillips, is about three high school seniors throwing a party to make a name for themselves. They are tired of being uncool and decide their party might be their one-way ticket to popularity via a teenage wasteland thrill ride. To make "Project X" the most out-of-control party ever, the group sets out to make this the most epic 17th birthday bash in history. The film documents the party growing out of control as shot from the perspective of the digital cameras the kids have with them.

Occupy the Super Bowl (video)

Wisdom Quarterly

What is American football symbolic of? According to Jean Houston, the game is 11 young heroes guiding the sacred egg through the womb of the goal posts while ersatz virgins cheer them on ecstatically. This year the Occupy Movement will remind the 1% and the global TV -viewing population that we are still here and Wall Street bankers are still exerting undue influence on our political systems. What influence? "Right to work" legislation has one purpose and one purpose alone -- to destroy unions.

The protests continue
Occupy protesters hope to grab a share of the Super Bowl 2012 spotlight. Demonstrations to include march against "right to work" legislation. Super Bowl XLVI is bringing tens of thousands of football fans to Indianapolis, but it is also attracting a collection of protest groups. The Occupy movement, known for its protests against Wall Street, will take over the south lawn of the Statehouse... More

Occupy Oakland (rare 2012 footage) MORE

(Homer1co) After a prolonged battle with NFL management, unionized players have a lot of nerve playing in a state that is going to deny labor rights to workers. That makes NFL players scabs or hypocrites. Should we boycott the NFL until they get their head back in the fresh air and out of...? All union-member NFL might consider doing the same. The NFL players' union should be the one to call for a Superbowl strike but it is the 99%. Without the union NFL players would not be where they are today. More

As Indiana pressed forward to pass the (Doublespeak) "Right to Work" bill, Gigguy Warner and his fellow tradesman have something to say about it. This bogus bill is wrong, and senators need to hear our voice as unionized workers. The round is lost but the fight is not over!

What is Obama doing taxing the rich at a level close to Clinton and destroying unions?

Celebrity Montage -- Burma: It Can't Wait

(USCAMPAIGNFORBURMA.org)

Ellen Page, Will Ferrell, Sarah Silverman, James Cameron, Jason Schwartzman, Sheryl Crow, Jackson Browne, and others all support Aung San Suu Kyi (pronounced ong-Song-sue-Chee). She is the world's only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

Suu Kyi is not just a prisoner, she is the rightful leader of Burma (Myanmar). She led the National League for Democracy political party to win 82% of the seats in parliament in Burma's last democratic election. But because of her peaceful fight for human rights and democracy, she has been force from her children and family.

Despite the outpouring of humanitarian aid offered in response to Cyclone Nargis, the military dictatorship led by Gen. Than Shwe has contined to extend her house arrest). Aung San Suu Kyi appeals to people around the world: "Please, use your liberty to promote ours." So the Human Rights Action Center and the U.S. Campaign for Burma have joined together to create "Burma: It Can't Wait," a first-of-its-kind, 30-day campaign using influential celebrity voices to help build a million-person movement to free Nobel Laureate:
