BARACK OBAMA HATES TEXAS!

OBAMA’S KATRINA? The only reason it isn’t viewed that way is because Texas is a red state and can take care if itself, but where’s the federal response? Perry should mention that in the debate tomorrow! Where’s the MSM?

I am counting over 50 fires in close proximity. CW, where are you? Are you somewhere safe?

Here is a different map. It's a thumb. Click to enlarge.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I’m good. I’m in the Houston metroplex area — dry as a popcorn fart but no fires.

Thank you for the link to the fire graphic.

You safe?

[MestaMachine]

I am under a freaking floodwatch. I wish I could send you all this.
Seriously though, look at the map there. Notice how the center of these fires is almost a perfect circle? Bastrop, South, College Station, East, Pflugerville, West, and Mart, North. Perfect circle.
This is what the fires in Greece looked like.

Thank you for the map. Got to try and get some sleep now. Stay safe. Prayers for you before I sleep. G-d Bless Texas.

I’ve thought of this, too! He hates Texas and Texans so much, that I wouldn’t put it past him or his goons.

The first thing I noticed when I took the dog out this morning (besides the cool temps) was the smell of smoke hanging in the air. We’re in NW Cass County - the fires are all around.

[wolfcreek]

There have at least two cases where fires were deliberately set in the area.

It will take some time to do the investigation but, I suspect they will be other cases of foul play found..

How sad that the POTUS is at war against everyone but his small percentage of people who back him.What do you do when the POTUS and dept of justice is biased and corrupt with desperate mob rule ideologies?

[MestaMachine]

Good morning. Checking in. Not much has changed since I wenr ro sleep, I guess. I’ve been trying to find out if obama has finally issued an emergency declaration for Texas. Can’t seem to find anything definitive. Has he or hasn’t he?
