Just some more, about the flooding specifically on the Guadalupe River, that was so deadly.  Some shocking numbers, indeed.

Guadalupe River Flood Disaster:
 A USGS team was able to reach the Hunt, TX river gage over the weekend and was able to establish from the gage data and high water mark an elevation of 37.52 ft. While data evaluation is still ongoing…the preliminary information suggests this is a flood of record at Hunt, TX surpassing the flood of 1932 of 36.60 ft. The following table is a list of the top 5 all-time flood elevations for the Hunt, TX gage:
 
  • 37.52 ft (July 4, 2025)
  • 36.60 ft (July 2, 1932)
  • 28.40 ft (July 17, 1987)
  • 23.50 ft (August 2, 1978)
  • 22.80 ft (October 19, 1985)
 It is interesting to note that the top 3 all-time floods at this site all occurred in the month of July.
 At Kerrville, TX a peak gage height of 34.29 ft was recorded making this event the 3rd highest on record for this location behind the July 1932 and July 1987 floods. The following table is a list of the top 5 all-time flood elevations for the Kerrville, TX gage:
 
  • 39.0 ft (July 2, 1932)
  • 37.72 ft (July 17, 1987)
  • 34.29 ft (July 4, 2025)
  • 17.93 ft (November 11, 2000)
  • 17.73 ft (October 28, 1996)
 
The Kerrville gage rose from 1.82 ft at 5:15 am to a peak of 34.29 ft at 6:45 am or 32.47 ft in 1.5 hrs.

 With the number of fatalities surpassing 80 on Sunday, this TX flood event appears to be the deadliest non-tropical flood event in American history since the 1979 Big Thompson Canyon Flood in Colorado which claimed 144 lives.

Trump DOJ announces last night nothing to see here, Jeff Epstein didn't traffic minors to anyone there is no client list, there are no video tapes, and oh yeah he totally definitely did not get murdered, he like totally killed himself. LOL.

Elon Musk was right, the Epstein case will never see the light of day because Trump is all over it as is Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and the richest most powerful people in the US and it's all part of an intelligence op which is why none of it will ever see the light of day.

MOSCOW —
Russia’s transport minister was found dead Monday, hours after being dismissed by President Vladimir Putin, in what officials said was an apparent suicide.

Roman Starovoyt, who served as Russia’s transport minister since May 2024, was fired in a presidential decree earlier in the day.

His dismissal came after a weekend of travel chaos when airports grounded hundreds of flights during the busy vacation season due to the threat of attacks from Kyiv.

Also on Monday, Russia fired more than 100 drones at civilian areas of Ukraine overnight, authorities said. At least 10 civilians were killed and 38 injured, including three children, in Russian attacks over the previous 24 hours, Ukrainian officials said.
"Courage; Generosity; Fairness; Honor; In these are the true awards of manly sport."

Putin is a thug, we get it. The world has known this for the nearly 30 years he's been in power. Pardon me if I give zero shits about the internal affairs of Russia, when our own government is a complete and utter clusterfuck rampant with corruption and lawlessness. I care and worry about America, not other countries. And what's that saying...don't throw stones if you live in a glass house...

That guy suicided himself just like Jeffrey Epstein did. Lol.

If "we" can't raise more revenue by having higher tax rates, and can't cut spending, would some other kind of taxation help, like say "tariffs", or a "billionaire wealth tax"?

The longer it goes, the more and more skeptical I am of there being much there there with Epstein. 

A suicide makes plenty of sense. No one has been able to pin anything grotesque on their opponents. Everyone talks big and when they get access, they sheepishly work around there not being much there.

A rough GUESS is there was a list, with phone numbers, many of which were the dry cleaner, the grocery store, the drug store, friends and family, etc., in addition to perhaps "clients".  Just being on said list is not in itself evidence of a crime.

I never was very invested in all of this interestwise though.

If there is nothing there, why is his GF spending 20 years in prison?
