I have frequently said that if Donald Trump walked on water, the left would complain that he stepped on and injured some fish. If President Trump cured cancer, the left would combitch that he was putting doctors and nurses out of work.

The tweet screen captured to the left — I always screen capture tweets I’m going to use in articles, because this way they aren’t lost if someone deletes them, and they make great illustrations without having to worry about copyright violations — was just one of many which claimed that the evil, reich-wing President Trump was responsible for the deaths due to an overnight tornado strike in London, Kentucky, because he’s cutting some National Weather Service personnel. The disappointed Democrat and “I am further left, I am more progressive, than anyone in the state of Kentucky,” twice-defeated candidate Amy McGrath Henderson chimed in with her own attack, without bothering with the actual facts.

What my, sadly late, best friend used to call the Lexington Herald-Liberal, the staffers of which absotively, posilutely hate Mr Trump, was forced to admit the truth:

Did staffing cuts at weather service affect Kentucky’s tornado response?

By Beth Musgrave | Updated Monday, May 19, 2025 | 4:13 PM EDT

National Weather Service officials said an Eastern Kentucky weather service office was fully staffed Friday when severe weather and at least one tornado hit the state, killing at least 19 people.

The National Weather Service is dealing with staffing shortages across the country after more than 600 staffers were either terminated or took early retirement since January amid federal spending cuts by President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a union that represents weather service staffers.

There’s more at the original.

As it happens, I live in east central Kentucky, and was inundated with the weather bulletins all day. We had severe thunderstorm warnings plus tornado watches during the morning, and our morning was one of heavy rain occasionally, intermixed with sunshine. The afternoon at my house saw intermittent sunshine, and periods of rain.

Then came evening, and more severe thunderstorm warnings, along with tornado watches. As it happens, I’m somewhat OCD about recording the information from my Logia weather station, and putting it in my 2025 Standard Diary.

How OCD? Well, with the exception of the 2001 Diary, which was somehow lost at work, I have them dating back to 1986! 🙂

So, when I started seeing the left trying to blame President Trump for the deaths in London, where a major tornado tore right through the town, I knew that they were lying through their scummy teeth. I did not know that the National Weather Service office was fully staffed before reading that it was earlier today, but I did know that the television stations, along with the Weather Channel, were all on top of this event. More, I could hear the thunderstorm, and see the very frequent flashes of lightning as it went through my county and over my farm into the late night.

Unless you had no television or radio, you couldn’t have missed the severe weather warnings; unless you were deaf and blind, you couldn’t have missed the storm pounding against your home. And unless you had no telephone, and nobody liked you, you couldn’t have not gotten a call from your family or friends. There was as much warning as was physically possible about tornadoes.

Of course, even with the warnings, and the Weather Channel is really good about spotting ‘radar-detected’ tornadoes, most times there are only a few minutes of advanced warning. Yes, what happened was a serious tragedy in parts of the Bluegrass State, and yes, the Commonweath has suffered an uncommon number of weather-related tragedies the past few years. My family, personally, have not been storm victims.

But, not having accurate information does not prevent today’s American left from blaming President Trump for every drop of rain that falls from the sky, or every stubbed toe in the neighborhood.
