CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 8, 2025
TRAGEDY DOESN’T BEGIN TO DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENED OVER LAST WEEKEND IN KERVILLE, TEXAS. MORE THAN 82 CHILDREN AT A CHRISTIAN GIRLS CAMP WERE SWEPT AWAY AND KILLED BY MASSIVE FLOOD WATERS. AT LEAST 41 ARE STILL MISSING. ONE SURVIVOR SAID SOME OF THE GIRLS WROTE THEIR NAMES ON THEIR BODIES SO THEY WOULD BE IDENTIFIED SHOULD THEY BE KILLED.
THE CAMP DIRECTOR AND HIS WIFE DIED TRYING TO SAVE SOME OF THE GIRLS. A FATHER WHO LOST HIS TWO DAUGHTERS PADDLED A KAYAK AND TRIED TO SAVE OTHERS.
AMONG THE QUESTIONS BEING RAISED IS WHY WASN’T THERE BETTER WEATHER TECHNOLOGY THAT MIGHT HAVE WARNED ABOUT THE FLASH FLOODS? SOME IN THE MEDIA ARE ALREADY BLAMING SPENDING CUTBACKS BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. TALK ABOUT INSENSITIVE. CAN’T WE LEAVE POLITICS OUT OF THIS?
I LIVED IN TEXAS TWICE. CHURCH AND FOOTBALL ARE HIGH PRIORITIES. SO ARE THESE SUMMER CAMPMS WHOSE OBJECTIVES ARE TO DEEPEN CAMPERS’ FAITH AND GIVE THEM A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR GROWING INTO MATURE AND STRONG WOMEN AND MEN.
PLEASE PRAY FOR THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES. THINK HOW YOU WOULD FEEL IF IT WAS YOUR DAUGHTER, I’M CAL THOMAS.
I think it was really nice of Trump to visit the people in in Texas who were affected by the fires and flooding.
