90 years ago today, more than 26% of the U.S. land area reached 100°F (37.8°C). At least one location in 33 states reached the triple-digit mark. They were: 🌡️ 118°F (47.8°C) in CA 🌡️ 115°F (46.1°C) in AZ 🌡️114°F (45.5°C) in WI 🌡️113°F (45.0°C) in IL, IN, and KY 🌡️112°F (44.4°C) in IA, MI, and MO 🌡️111°F (43.9°C) in ND 🌡️110°F (43.3°C) in AR, MN, and NV 🌡️109°F (42.8°C) in NE and SD 🌡️108°F (42.2°C) in KS 🌡️107°F (41.7°C) in TN 🌡️106°F (41.1°C) in MS, OH, and WV 🌡️104°F (40.0°C) in TX 🌡️103°F (39.4°C) in AL, NY, SC, and UT 🌡️102°F (38.9°C) in GA and PA 🌡️101°F (38.3°C) in LA and MD 🌡️100°F (37.8°C) in FL, ID, NM, and WY The 112° reading in Mio and Stanwood, Michigan, and 114° reading in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin were both new statewide high temperature records that remain in the books to this day. Obviously, this event was just weather, but if this were to occur today, climastrologists would be 100% certain that this was “virtually impossible” without so-called “fossil fuel pollution.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve begun our initial descent for Donald J. Trump International Airport. It’s going to be a little bumpy on our arrival, so put your tray tables up and keep your seatbelt secured tightly. It’s going to be a helluva ride!” 🤣😎

@jackprandelli this sounds great and all, but these seem like easy targets for Iranian proxies.

The world is not waiting to find out who controls Hormuz. It is building around it. Goldman Sachs tracked 7 pipeline and export projects now under construction or planned across the Gulf. 1. By end of 2027, over 45% of pre-war Gulf exports could bypass Hormuz entirely. 2. By end of 2028, that rises past 60%. 3. Median Gulf pipeline construction time: 2.5 years, faster for disruption driven projects. 7 to 9 million barrels a day will still need Hormuz no matter what gets built. Qatar's LNG has no alternative route at all. The era of Hormuz as irreplaceable is ending. It is not ending fast enough to matter this year. source @MarioNawfal

@markallanbovair this is one of those "damned if you do, damned if you dont" moments.

9:00 AM Sunrise is more insane than most people realize. That's 1.5 class periods into school before the sun even rises. 2 hours into most blue collar workdays. That extra hour of daylight (in cold winter when everyone is inside anyway) from 5-6p isn't worth it at all.

Here's how it's gonna go. Trump will announce evidence of wrongdoing in elections. Democrats will accuse Trump of lying and creating election chaos, interference, etc. Half the country will believe Trump. Half the country will believe Democrats. We will continue posting memes and making fun of each other.

TRUMP says he's got some "really big news"... "it doesn't get bigger"... and "our country has to shape up" as he teases Thursday's address to the nation will include election integrity.

This is not a never ending war- in fact the president limited strikes, there’s been no troops on the ground, and pushed for peace. It is Iran that kept breaking it. Now we are back at kinetic strikes. But this has never been a “never ending war.” And everyone should be 💯 behind these strikes, as it is now more clear than ever that Iran would have absolutely developed nuclear weapons, and this would all be a very different conversation. A lot of criticism concerning the strikes with Iran are very shortsighted. I’d love to live in the fairy tail world where if we just stay out of it, everything will be hunky dory. That’s just not reality.

Balls and strikes: We should never have started a never-ending war in Iran... that was a huge blunder by POTUS. He should have listened to his team. But now that it's done, perhaps the best strategy is for POTUS to "seize"/protect the Striaght of Hormoz in exchange for % of the cargo we protect. Of course, it's illegal and all that.. but I bet the folks impacted would take that deal!!!

@RepJasonCrow The president literally pushed for a peace deal and the Iranians kept breaking the MOU, firing on civilian ships. Hold the Iranians accountable; not the president.

Americans don’t want endless conflict in the Middle East. Donald Trump is pushing us further in.

Our poorest citizens live better than most of the world’s middle class. American welfare recipients routinely enjoy air conditioning, cars, smartphones, flat-screen TVs, and refrigerators full of food. That’s not “poverty” by any honest global standard. Compare them to the average worker in India, Brazil, Mexico, or large parts of Africa and Asia, people who may never own a car, experience reliable electricity, or see the inside of an air-conditioned home. America’s poorest have access to opportunities, safety nets, and material comforts that billions can only dream about. This isn’t failure. It’s overwhelming proof of American abundance and exceptionalism. Stop the victim narrative and recognize reality.

@MarkWarner 🙄the Democrat party are clowns.

For months, I’ve been warning that Trump might try finding “fraud” from the 2020 election in order to justify heavy interference in our midterms. It looks like that “announcement” could be coming this Thursday. Don’t believe the narrative he’s trying to push.

@honestpollster Half the country will believe it and be angry. The other half won’t believe it and will say it’s all politics. Nothing will change.

Holy crap! If true, this is huge. But I'm not sure how America is going to take it after the apparent lapses in American sovereignty over the last 12 months. Even the NDAA vote this week is painfully symbolic.

@4thOfJuly365 Was Moana “woke” or was it just a bad movie?

Moana - Flopped Supergirl - Flopped Odyssey - Will Flop The summer is supposed to be a time for box office blockbusters, but Hollywood keeps pushing woke garbage.

@TheCalvinCooli1 This was just interim. Gowdy should run for the actual seat in November.

🚨New: Tim Scott wanted Trey Gowdy to fill Lindsey Graham's vacant Senate seat until 2027

@KobeissiLetter “Secure safe passage” is firing rockets and drones at commercial ships lol. Riiiiight…

BREAKING: Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi responds to President Trump announcing a 20% fee to transit the Strait of Hormuz: “POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure and safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service. Iran has always been the guardian of the Strait and will remain so forever. 20% is of course too much. We will be fair,” he says.

@John17thletter_ This would have to pass through Congress, and we all know how willing democrats are. They would rather derail anything Trump pushes for out of spite rather than do what’s right.

🚨 BREAKING: In a massive development, President Trump is expected to announce the "HEALTHCARE PRICE CUTS ACT" as soon as TOMORROW to fix the broken Obamacare subsidy system that gives billions to Big Insurance. He has officially CORNERED the Democrats on Obamacare. They will now defend Big, Rich Insurance. The bill would halt Obamacare premium spikes, per MSNOW. The plan reportedly includes a DEPOSIT mechanism, putting money into a Health Savings Account, incentivizing lower-premium options. It would also end the premium hikes, end zero-premium subsidies, and STOP massive fraud known as "ghost beneficiaries." Trump recently said: "I am calling today for insurance companies NOT to be paid. But for this massive amount of money be paid DIRECTLY to the people so they can buy their own healthcare!" "We will pay a lot of money to the people, and FORGET this Obamacare madness!" FOLLOW @SpecialForceWeb

@nicksortor @DC_Reporter Prediction: nothing will change. Democrats will circle the wagons and accuse the Trump admin of “politicizing elections.” Any attempt to actually remove them will drag on to the point it’ll be too late.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump will announce that BOTH of Georgia’s Democrat US Senators are “ILLEGITIMATE” due to election fraud, per @DC_Reporter This comes after FBI and other federal agencies RAIDED election offices in Georgia recently. EXPOSE IT ALL! 🔥 John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock’s days in the Senate might be numbered.

@SenateGOP Whatever happened to taking away democrats capability of threatening shutdowns and keeping services funded regardless of dem shenanigans?

Thanks to Schumer’s previous shutdowns, we lost $7-14B in GDP, 7,500 flights were canceled, and more than 1,000 TSA Agents quit because they couldn’t afford to work without pay.  Now, he’s planning another shutdown. That might help his party, but it hurts all Americans.

@araghchi … you guys are literally launching rockets and drones at commercial ships and threatening anyone ship you can passing through. Definitely not the same.

POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure and safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service. Iran has always been the GUARDIAN of the Strait and will remain so FOREVER. 20% is of course too much. We will be fair
