” Here’s how our pro dem/rino newspapers are covering this. “

From your link-
“ Immediately following the massive tornado that devastated Greensburg, the Kansas National Guard was called in to secure the area and begin search and rescue.”

The impression from this statement is that immediately after the tornado-the total contingent that is presently there now, was activated.
This is not true.
On Saturday there were 40 NG on site to secure the perimeter. The search and rescue was primarily done by civilian agencies.
The order to mobilize the units with the heavy equipment did not come down until Sunday am .
And that was just for a small amount of equipment and soldiers.
The order for the bulk of equipment and troops came later on Sunday.
The tornado happened at 10pm on Friday night.
Why the delay in asking the WH to send troops and equipment ?
