No one agrees with you.
I doubt that surprises you, though.

Stupid inaccurate statement. Thousands went after him. Why are you defending this charlatan? You a believer? Sucker! The Dallas Morning rag is probably pro republican right wing propaganda and pro fake Jesus.

I am not defending anyone, I am correcting your ignorance and lies.
Why are so butthurt over a preacher ?
Are you a victim of the residential schools ?

The face of Houston's horror ... and heroism
By Brad Hunter, Toronto Sun
First posted: Tuesday, August 29, 2017 08:31 PM EDT | Updated: Tuesday, August 29, 2017 08:57 PM EDT
Officer Steve Perez wanted to do his duty.
That courage and sense of honour tragically made him the latest victim of Hurricane Harvey.
The 34-year veteran of the Houston Police Department drowned in his cruiser in the raging floodwaters of the epic storm that has killed at least 15 people and caused billions in damages.
And as tropical rains continued to pound the Texan city, the worst may be far from over with at least another 30 centimetres expected over the next 24 hours.
Along with more bodies.
With tears streaming down his face, Houston police chief Art Acevedo told how his fallen comrade had gone against his wife’s wishes.
Days shy of his 61st birthday, Perez was driving to work Sunday morning when his cruiser became trapped in high water.
While rescuers found his body Sunday night, they couldn’t get at him until Monday when a dive team and members of the “Cajun Navy” recovered it.
“We could not put more officers at risk for what we knew in our hearts would be a recovery mission,” Acevedo said, calling Perez “a sweet, gentle public servant.”
Meanwhile, Houston cops and firefighters have been pushed to the breaking point as the storm is showing no signs of slowing down — yet.
However, the National Weather Service said the now Tropical Storm Harvey will batter southwestern Louisiana before it dies at sea.
Hailing his personnel, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said everyone is giving an “extra effort.”
“Sometimes you find a way to make it happen, or you die in trying. Sgt. Perez lost his life because he tried to make it happen, he tried to get at his post ... that’s the ultimate sacrifice,” he said.
Meanwhile, experts say the city’s depression-era water system is obsolete — and dangerous.
As one of America’s fastest growing cities, the system has not kept up with the pace of growth. But boffins concede little could have contained the ferocious Harvey because of the area’s pancake-flat coastal plain that drains into the Gulf of Mexico.
During the dark days in Texas, the heroic actions of cops like Perez contrasted wildly with celebrity preacher Joel Osteen.
Osteen initially refused to open up his 16,000-seat religious arena to the woeful and waterlogged. Social media outrage changed his mind.

Trump is obsessed with crowds and ratings, even in flood-ravaged Texas

After all these months it's still unclear whether or not Donald Trump knows he's not on reality television.


Do you think Trump is any more of an egotist than Justin Trudeau? :)

Osteen was shamed into opening his doors. He would have lost a good chunk of his economic base if he didn't. It is purely business with this charlatan.

The hillbillies down there are rather forgiving of charlatans. "I jest talked directly to Jayzus and said: "Joel. Open thine doorzuh""

Monsoon victims wonder why so much attention on Texas.


At least 1,200 people have been killed and millions have been left homeless following devastating floods that have hit India, Bangladesh and Nepal, in one of the worst flooding disasters to have affected the region in years.

According to the Red Cross, at least 7.1 million people have been affected in Bangladesh - more than the population of Scotland - and around 1.4 million people have been affected in Nepal.

The disaster comes as headlines have focused on the floods in Houston, Texas, which authorities have described as "unprecedented".

Officials in Texas have said the death toll now stands at 15 in the wake of Hurricane and Tropical Storm Harvey, with thousands forced to flee their homes

"No one agrees with you."A lie. You are the liar, typical of your species - the belligerent, riechtard asshat. All you know how to do is deflect and project your own BS on others. Adios sucker.

Well if Mexico had paid for the Wall


the Wall would have stopped the flooding flowing north……

President Donald Trump has not yet responded to Mexico’s offer of help to those in Texas suffering the effects of flooding following Hurricane Harvey.

The U.S.’s southern neighbor has previously provided assistance during natural disasters, offering its support following Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans in 2005.

Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement: “The Mexican government takes this opportunity to express its full solidarity with the people and government of the United States as a result of the damages caused by Hurricane Harvey in Texas, and expresses that it has offered to provide help and cooperation to the U.S. government in order to deal with the impact of this natural disaster—as good neighbors should always do in trying times.”

So much butthurt, so unable to actually address any topic.
Do you spend more or less than 3 hours a day crying in your trailer ?

Will the US want Canadian softwood lumber when they need to rebuild Houston?

The construction industry does but the timber barrons certainly don't. All they want is to drive up the price of their inferior product.

Don't look in the mirror and project when you are writting.
