Of the 100+ Cat 3,4,5 Hurricanes to hit mainland US, Cat-3-Idalia did major damage over a large area of south-east US.
Fortunately it came ashore in the big-bend of Florida that is less developed and populated than much of the shoreline.

Climate protesters in Nevada were arrested for blocking traffic on a busy road which led to tribal police taking matters into their own hands, plowing the barricade set up by the demonstrators and making arrests.

(Really? – let’s jump on the cops again!)
A ranger is also seen pulling a weapon during the altercation, but it is not clear if it was a firearm or taser
(He was surrounded by hostile felons)
-
"It was just unfortunate that they would block the main highway like that," tribal Chairman James L. Phoenix said in an interview with outlet Indianz.
He added, "It’s not like, you know, you’re just out in the middle of nowhere and there’s no one else to be there. We have a lot of miles and miles of cars.

Global Warming Story Not A Consensus

-
Apparently there are 1,600 scientists who are Not on the AGW Global Warming payroll and who, therefore feel free to remind their well-to-do AGW-fellows that there is a ‘scientific method’ and there are great variations and unknowns in the study of world-wide climate and that we are in another InterGlacial time period that even Disney recognizes and that intermixing science with politics, religion and financial gain has often been fraught with misdirection.
-
The Pope made Galileo give up his blasphemous sun-center of our solar-system story, however, that didn’t change the solar-system, just the story.
In 1992, Pope Saint John Paul II made a statement to the Pontifical Academy of Science that leaders of the Church, and Church institutions had wrongly persecuted and punished Galileo.
It only took 359-years for a grateful Galileo to get that apology.

More than 1,600 scientists, including two Nobel laureates, declare climate 'emergency' a myth
More than 1,600 scientists, including two Nobel laureates, declare climate 'emergency' a myth | Just The News
The global coalition of scientists say that politics and a journalistic frenzy has propelled a doomsday climate change hysteria. The signatories also ask other scientists to "address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming."
-
A coalition of 1,609 scientists from around the world have signed a declaration stating “there is no climate emergency” and that they “strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy” being pushed across the globe. The declaration does not deny the harmful effect of greenhouse gasses, but instead challenges the hysteria brought about by the narrative of imminent doom.
-
The declaration, put together by the Global Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL), was made public this month and urges that “Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific.”
-
CLINTEL is an independent foundation that operates in the fields of climate change and climate policy. CLINTEL was founded in 2019 by emeritus professor of geophysics Guus Berkhout and science journalist Marcel Crok.
-
“Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures,” the declaration says.

Virginia Honors Tuskegee Airmen

“Aim high, believe in yourself, never quit, be ready to go, use your brain, and expect to win – these are guiding principles and lifelong lessons from the Red Tails,” Governor Glenn Youngkin
-
-
WHEREAS, The Tuskegee Institute in Alabama was one of six black schools chosen to participate in the CPT Program, then was selected to offer advanced CPT training, and finally was the sole site for segregated military flying training. The outstanding performance of the Tuskegee Airmen was unprecedented in military aviation history; and,
-
WHEREAS, March is a special month for the Tuskegee Airmen - the month when the first cadets received their wings; the first maintenance crew began training at Chanute Field, Illinois; the first Pursuit Squadron, the 991, was activated; and the month in which President George W. Bush presented the Tuskegee Airmen with the Congressional Gold Medal;
-
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Glenn Youngkin, do hereby recognize March 24, 2022 as TUSKEGEE AIRMEN COMMEMORATION DAY in the COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA, and I call this observance to the attention of all our citizens.

What To Do For Water?

-
Water water everywhere nor a single drop to drink
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner - Wikipedia
-
-
As the US population continues to grow, drinkable potable water will become an ever more critical commodity.
Three examples of past ‘usurping water’ that sheds light on a process that has exploited the few for the benefit of the many.
Given how low many major reservoirs and aquifers are, there are major decisions to be made on obtaining additional potable water supplies.
-
-
The Colorado River ‘Treaties’ have diverted water to California at the expense of Arizona and completely denied Mexico their fair share.
The latest ‘deal’ limits usage, spikes water costs and pays tribes for Not using water.
Colorado River deal will forever alter water in the West - CalMatters
-
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2023/02/franklin-counties-keister-greer-and.html
-
-
The Denver Water Roundup was necessary because Denver is on the very dry-arid east-side down-wind of the Rockies.
Denver sent emissaries to the West side of the Great Divide to buy-up every possible ‘water right’ from every possible plot of land. They then built a water-tunnel under the two-mile high Loveland Pass to provide water to Denver and Boulder. Needless to say, the land west of the Divide now has limited use and value even though it’s the green-side, watered from the Pacific clouds.
-
-
NYC recognized in 1800’s it couldn’t drink out of the Hudson and thereby sent emissaries to the Catskills, and to the NY government in Albany, to ‘obtain’ tens of thousand of acres of watershed of the major streams. They then built multiple massive reservoirs and a 100-mile tunnel-aqueduct to NYC.
-
-
Clearly the current litigious environment will be a major factor in ‘collecting’ additional or new water sources. In fact, we’re now in the business of tearing down dams to benefit fish spawns.
The aquifers under many coastal cities have been pumped-down to the point that the coastal land is sinking (subsidence) faster than sea-levels are rising.
-
Tucson Az may become a model for the collection and treatment of ‘used water’ into designated uses and pumping-back into the aquifer some captured excess rain water.

Milan Warm Again Déjà Vu

-
Yet again the media is hyping their Gore AGW Story-line totally oblivious to the obvious observation that Milan Italy’s warm spell is consistent with 260-years of history and is Not a CO2 story.

ROME, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Italy's northern city of Milan registered a new record high (+0.4 F) average daily temperature of 33 Celsius (91.4 F) on Wednesday as a heatwave which began around mid-August reached its peak, the regional environmental protection agency (ARPA) said on Friday.
It was the hottest day since the Milano Brera weather station started recording temperatures in 1763. Milan's previous record of 32.8 C (91.0 F).

Putin Lost Another Antagonist

-
Once KGB always KGB.
It appears the Russian mercenary terrorist, Prigozhin, may have been ‘"terminated with extreme prejudice".
Clearly after launching a bloody military coup against “the Kremlin” even Lloyds of London wouldn’t sell him a life insurance policy.
Like Hillary, we can assume Putin will do a Pontius Pilot hand-wash.
-
-
Yevgeniy Prigozhin, the Wagner Group mercenary chief who led a short-lived mutiny against the Kremlin in June, was listed as a passenger on a plane that crashed in Russia on Wednesday, killing all 10 people on board, including three pilots and seven passengers, according to Russian state news agency Tass, which cites the press service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Russia’s emergency services did not immediately confirm whether Prigozhin had been on board and died.

‘Unprecedented Historic Storm’ Coming To SoCal? Really?

-
-
Monday Aug 21, 11:43 AM EDT
Tropical storm warnings canceled across Southern California
All tropical storm warnings have been canceled across Southern California as the remnants of Hilary, which no longer meet the threshold of a tropical cyclone, track north, according to Ariel Cohen, meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service Los Angeles.
Los Angeles "avoided a potentially catastrophic set of conditions" from Hilary, LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said Monday.
-
-
The storm approached SoCal as an on-land tropical storm and a day later departed toward the NE.
The long-existing major concrete-river-beds carried the downpour away with some local flooding and mudslides.
-
Apparently no deaths or significant injuries or major damage reported inconsistent with the over-the-top catastrophic media predictions vainly supporting their global warming end of the world story-line.
-
The media net: this storm was as big as the 1939 Long Beach storm.
Looking at the CO2 timeline it appears to be a very hard sell that this storm was CO2 connected when the 1939 was clearly not.
Also, apparently the media is ignoring the other 5 intervening major storms also before CO2 increases.

Since 1850, eight tropical cyclones have brought gale-force winds to the Southwestern United States. They are: The 1858 San Diego hurricane that was reconstructed as just missing landfall in 1858, the 1939 Long Beach tropical storm that made landfall near San Pedro in 1939, the remnants of Tropical Storm Jennifer-Katherine in 1963, the remnants of Hurricane Emily in 1965, the remnants of Hurricane Joanne in 1972, the remnants of Hurricane Kathleen in 1976, and Hurricane Nora in 1997 after it was downgraded to a tropical storm, and Hurricane Kay, which made landfall in the Baja California Sur as a Category 1 Hurricane. Kay's remnants then passed over Southern California, which brought flooding and 100 mph (160 km/h) wind gusts to some areas in the region.

Israel Seals 'Landmark' Arrow 3 Missile Defense Deal with Germany (breitbart.com)

Israel confirmed the “landmark” sale of the Arrow 3 hypersonic missile defense system to Germany on Thursday, in the country’s single biggest military deal worth $3.5 billion.
The Arrow 3 system — an interceptor designed to down ballistic missiles above the Earth’s atmosphere — is jointly developed and produced by the Israel and the United States.
-
“The Israeli Ministry of Defense, German Federal Ministry of Defense, and Israel Aerospace Industries will sign the landmark $3.5 billion defense agreement, marking Israel’s largest ever defense deal,” it said, AFP reports.
“With its exceptional long-range interception capabilities, operating at high altitudes above the atmosphere, (the Arrow 3) stands as the top interceptor of its kind,” it said. “The system employs a hit-to-kill approach for intercepting incoming threats.”
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, quoted in the statement, called the agreement “the largest in Israel’s history.”

Music Following BudLite Rebellion

It appears that country artist Oliver Anthony has struck a nerve that has resulted in spontaneous reactions from a broad swath of people who are frustrated with the current political and social climate being imposed by WOKE, liberal, elitists’, know-it-all, left-wing demagogues.

There’s a line between being clueless and just having contempt for people who aren’t as well off. Legacy journalists crossed that line long ago. They gave up trying to understand the lives of ordinary Americans who are devastated by globalism, regulation, taxes and Big Government.
The new song by country artist Oliver Anthony draws that line somewhere near Washington, D.C. The song, "Rich Men North of Richmond," is about hardship that has become commonplace for working people in the United States. He sings how, "Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground/ 'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down."

Florida Fines Medicaid Providers For Using Tax Dollars To Cover Trans Treatments For Minors
Exclusive: Florida Fines Medicaid Providers For Using Tax Dollars To Cover Trans Treatments For Minors | The Daily Wire
Five Medicaid healthcare insurers have violated Florida’s rule against using taxpayer funds to provide transgender treatments, and the state is now fining them for the action. It’s the first time any state has taken this step in regard to gender transition coverage.
Among the procedures one of the plans covered was a double mastectomy on a 16-year-old girl. The other plans paid for puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors. Florida health officials sent out letters informing the providers they were being fined over the violation late Thursday.

Schools: Responsible Roanoke County vs. WOKE Fairfax

-
Roanoke County School Board approves transgender policy as another person arrested
Roanoke County adopts new transgender student policy
The Roanoke County School Board heard from dozens of speakers Thursday about the gender issues that have roiled recent meetings – then unceremoniously voted to adopt a new transgender student policy that said in matters of sports, bathrooms and more, students’ gender will be considered to be the same as their birth sex, minus intervention from parents and staff.
-
Based on a Virginia Department of Education model that Virginia law requires all school boards to follow, the new Roanoke County policy states that even when parents initiate creation of a Gender Support Plan, school staff, teachers and other employees – and other students – do not have to use transgender students’ preferred pronouns or names. If staff or classmates feel that changed pronouns or names are at odds with the students’ birth sex, requiring them to use the new forms of address would infringe on the staff members’ and non-transgender students’ religious and ideological freedoms, the new Roanoke County and model Virginia policies say.

"The law requires the Virginia Department of Education to provide model policies and requires school boards to adopt policies consistent with those provided by the Department," Youngkin spokeswoman Macaulay Porter told Fox News Digital. "The Fairfax County Public Schools policies diverge from VDOE model policy guidance and perpetuate a false notion that FCPS knows what's better for a child than a child's parent. The Fairfax County school board is expected to follow the law."

It’s Warm! Hello! We Are In An Interglacial!

-
July was Earth's hottest month since U.S. temperature records began (aol.com)
On Monday, officials at NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration unveiled new data indicating that July was the hottest month on record, with both global sea-surface and land temperatures soaring well above longstanding averages. According to NOAA and NASA, Earth in 2023 saw its warmest July since temperature record-keeping began 174 years ago.
-
-
174-years of temperature data is a blink of the eye in terms of climate!
The real climate change is the Interglacial we are in!

It would be ‘scientifically appropriate’ for all those highlighting current warm weather to reference their observations and data to the current InterGlacial that is driving climate and the weather.

Are We Living Responsibly In Our Current InterGlacial Period?

-
-
The current interglacial started long before mankind’s CO2 circa 1950.
The Little Ice Age was the last gasp of the last Ice Age as the globe warmed.
The Little Ice Age was a period of wide-spread cooling from around 1300 to around 1850 CE when average global temperatures dropped by as much as 2°C (3.6°F), particularly in Europe and North America.
-
-
The PostGlacial sealevel rise is additional scientific data showing the current InterGlacial warming caused massive sea-level rise thousands of years before manmade CO2 that started accumulating circa 1950.
The massive melting of ice and snow and warming water also released massive amounts of CO2 and Methane into the atmosphere.

The Insanity Of Biden’s Open Borders

-
The Trump border policy and controls were working reasonably well albeit under constant Democrat attack.
Why is Biden and his Democrat Minions forcing his maniacal policy of open-borders onto the American people? For what purpose? To what end?
Initially few questioned what was happening because it was happening primarily in Arizona and Texas, so, who cares?
That has changed and the problems are now highly visible in many major cities.
Most of the 12+Million Illegal Immigrants are now wards of the states added onto their welfare and homeless rolls with thousands more coming every day!
The definition of Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.

WSJ: Eric Adams and the Self-Imposed Crisis of a Sanctuary City
High-tax, overregulated New York is too costly for the middle class and now asks migrants to stay away.
Eric Adams and the Self-Imposed Crisis of a Sanctuary City - WSJ
Mayor Eric Adams last week groused that local hotels and shelters are overrun with migrants whose care will cost the city about $5 billion this fiscal year. As New York politicians do, he’s begging the feds and ordinary city-dwellers to open their wallets. “This is not Mayor Adams’s job. This is the job of the people of the city of New York,” he said last week. “We need every New Yorker that has something to offer to play a role.”
Apparently, paying the nation’s highest taxes isn’t enough.
Mr. Adams recently floated the idea of sheltering migrants in private homes.

Biden officials refuse to sign off on NYC military site for migrants — despite D.Gov. Hochul’s personal pitch, sources say
Biden bigs refuse to sign off on NYC military site for migrants, rebuffing Hochul: sources (nypost.com)
New York’s top Democratic official made sure she was on the morning call with such Biden bigs as Deputy Secretary of the Interior Tommy Beaudreau.
The embattled gov hoped to be able to finally crow about a deal with the feds to use the desperately needed space at the 1,000-acre former military airfield to help ease the crush of migrants flooding into the Big Apple, sources said.
But the Democratic White House administration stunned Hochul by rebuffing her, saying there are still “operational and legal” issues at play over housing asylum-seekers at the site, sources said.

Moody's chief economist Mark Zandi made the statement Friday on X
"To be sure, the high inflation of the past 2+ years has done lots of economic damage. Due to the high inflation, the typical household spent $202 more in a July than they did a year ago to buy the same goods and services. And they spent $709 more than they did 2 years ago," Zandi wrote.

Americans' credit card debt hits a record $1 trillion | CNN Business
During the second quarter, credit card balances shot up by $45 billion, or nearly 4.6%, to land at $1.03 trillion, according to the New York Fed’s latest Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit.
-
Rising credit card debt and auto loan balances helped to drive overall household debt levels up 1%, to $17.06 trillion for the quarter, the report showed. Overall household debt has spiked by $2.9 trillion since the end of 2019, before the pandemic. The New York Fed’s debt balances are nominal and not adjusted for inflation.
These increases are coming at a time when interest rates have quickly vaulted to a 22-year high.

Hawaii Governor: ‘Look Over There’

Death toll rises to 89 in Hawaii, making it the deadliest wildfire in modern U.S. history (nbcnews.com)
-
-
Not covered by the Governor:
-
Why the emergency siren system remained silent?
Why was there No effective fire-break barrier between the town and the nearby wooded dry-grassy savannas in a state covered with volcanoes and known for lightning storms and fires?
What actions were taken by the state government for evacuation and fire-fighting?
-
No need to address any of this because it was Global Warming’s Fault and therefore government responsibility and accountability for citizen welfare does not apply.
-
-
“These savannas now cover about a million acres across the main Hawaiian Islands
Hawaii wildfires: A brief history of natural disasters blighting the tropical paradise | The Independent
Another important factor in the state’s growing vulnerability of late has been its abundance of unmanaged dry vegetation providing the ideal fuel, much of which is accounted for by invasive species like Guinea grass that are non-native to Hawaii but have colonized areas of former farmland and forest.
“These savannas now cover about a million acres across the main Hawaiian Islands, mostly the legacy of land clearing for plantation agriculture and ranching in the late 1800s/early 1900s,” Professor Clay Trauernicht, also of the University of Hawaii, explained on X, formerly Twitter.
“The transformation to savanna makes the landscape way more sensitive to bad ‘fire weather’ – hot, dry, windy conditions. It also means we get huge buildups of fuels during rainy periods.

The MVP Badmouthing Continues

-
As pipeline construction resumes, inspections are in order
Pipeline opponents worry that pipes may have been damaged (roanoke.com)
-
-
Dispite all the ‘chicken-little’ opining over the MVPs approval by Congress and the SCOTUS, and the absence of definitive real-world plan-implementation issues, the reality is that only 10% of the pipeline remains to be completed.
-
“Along the pipeline’s 303-mile route, more than 270 miles of pipe have already been lowered into trenches and covered with dirt, Mountain Valley says.”
-
However, The Roanoke Times and associates are continuing their highly negative coverage of the MVP pipeline with no visible significant items to show for their jihad.
Clearly the Obama-Judges did inflict serious damage to the project through exhaustive litigation resulting in no significant changes-improvements to the pipeline but clearly adding to the costs, disruptions and increased erosion from open ditches and weathering of pipes that should have been buried two-years ago.

Bidenomics: Let Them Eat Cake

Bidenomics: Food prices went up 4.9% in July – HotAir
The Bureau of Labor Statistics released new data on Thursday. It shows that the price of food went up 4.9% in July. Call it Bidenomics or Bidenflation. Neither one is good.
-
Team Biden is desperately trying to convince Americans that Bidenomics is working. Joe Biden and Democrats blew up the U.S. economy by spending us into oblivion. Inflation rose to historic levels, interest rates exploded, the supply chain was very slow to make a comeback, energy prices rose, and the price of food packed a wallop on family budgets. A majority of Americans think the country is going in the wrong direction.

Biden Fix Really In Now!

-
Biden’s minion David Weiss dragged-out the Biden “investigation” since 2019, long enough that multiple serious criminal charges became term-limited – ran the clock out.
He than orchestrated a trivial misdemeanor plea deal for Hunter in the Delaware (home town) court to put a legal lid on any additional charges – like being an unlicensed foreign agent representative.
Somehow they got the wrong-judge who asked a few simple questions and the sweeet-heart deal fell apart, like not paying taxes on millions of dollars of bribe money.
-
Now Biden’s AG Garland is ‘fixing’ this problem for good!
-
Remember Schumer and the Democrats nominated Garland for SCOTUS!
-
Weiss, the Biden fixer, has now been appointed a Special Prosecutor! Really!
Now even Congress will Not be able to get another shred of information because “it’s under investigation” – like since 2019.
Weiss has no obligation to answer to anyone nor to indict anyone for crimes that have already clearly and openly been committed and documented.
-
Interesting legal fact: the statute that enables Special Prosecutors specifically defines the person to be “outside of the government”! Really!
So how could Garland appoint his minion Weiss to the position?
How far and fast the Biden’s have degraded our government with the massive assistance of the DOJ, DNC and the PravdaMedia!
-
All Americans should fly their flags at half-mast and up-side-down until the Biden’s are gone!
That is IF they ever leave!

R.Va.Gov Youngkin Supports Responsible Parents

Gov. Glenn Youngkin made the third stop on his “parents matter conversation” tour Tuesday morning, joining state Sen. Siobhan Dunnavant, R-Henrico, at Crestview Elementary School in Henrico County.
The parent-focused conversations have featured GOP candidates running in competitive districts in this year’s General Assembly contests where a handful of hard-fought districts give each party a chance to gain the majority. Youngkin emphasized parents’ role in their children’s education during his successful campaign for governor in 2021.
-
At previous “parents matter” conversations, Youngkin was joined in Salem by Sen. David Suetterlein, R-Roanoke & County
and in Prince William County by Bill Woolf, who faces Del. Danica Roem, D-Prince William, in Senate District 30.

Celebrating Bidenomics Debt – Really!

-
Of all the negative and egregious things the US government has been and is doing, it’s placing an unbearable debt load upon our future generations.
Going forward, the interest on the debt will overpower the treasury and will force a level of austerity reminiscent of the great depression. That will in turn create great civil unrest and high-risk external challenges. That’s not the bad news. The bad news is that the majority of the electorate has now become so dependent on government money that there is no visible means to bring that spending and debt under control.

Inflation-1984 And Nov-2024

The everyday news headline: ‘US inflation has steadily cooled’.  Really?
US inflation has steadily cooled. Getting it down to the Fed's target rate will be the toughest mile (aol.com)
-
What the %$#* does that mean to people who are struggling to buy necessary items every day?
Everything went up a lot over past 2-years!
Nothing is going down.
Most things are still going up.
What does “inflation is cooling” mean to ‘everyday people’?
-
Perhaps the elitist answer is that ‘the rate’ of increase is reducing.
Rate: that’s the slope of a line isn’t it?
Rate: that’s the first derivative, isn’t it?
Rate of Rate: that’s acceleration the second derivative, isn’t it?
Except for those who took algebra & calculus – who really understands that tripe?
Draw a rate curve on X-Y plane and watch people’s eyes gloss over.
-
What is the administration’s and media’s agenda in playing this “inflation rate is cooling” game?
-
If a Republican administration were in office, the entire media would be ‘shopping in the stores’ on TV every night on the ‘news’ going through check-out and highlighting the massive increases in the cost of living under the Current Administration compared to before covid!

Aug 5, 2023 (Reuters) - A Canadian government agency has guaranteed fresh commercial loans of up to C$3 billion ($2.2 billion) to the controversial Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project that has suffered repeated cost overruns.

Critics have also slammed the ownership of a pipeline project by the Liberal government, which they argue runs counter to Trudeau's ambitious climate goals.

The project is expected to start shipping oil in the first quarter of 2024, and will nearly tripling the flow of crude from Alberta's oil sands to Burnaby, British Columbia, to 890,000 barrels per day.
