At what point is our country finally going to have a serious conversation about global cooling?
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: "In the beginning of the contest with Britain, we had daily prayers for Divine protection. Our prayers were heard, and they were graciously answered.
Do we imagine we no longer need God's assistance?"
If you ever feel like complaining about the heat just remember that the Continental Army under George Washington marched 75 miles in full wool uniforms over ten days in 100 degree weather before fighting the Battle of Monmouth.
American, remember who you are descended from.
DCA will have a full ground stop of all aircraft from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 pm on Friday, July 3, to allow for air show rehearsal flights over the National Mall. If you want to see some planes without the crowds, this might be your chance.

@PeteBritish@ArchRose90 This is what your leaders miss. When I visit I want to see your flags, your pubs, have fish and chips. I want to experience everything that makes Britain unique and distinctive. So misguided.
@PeteBritish The only thing that will rehabilitate is punishment. The only deterrent is harsher conditions in prison. Serve full terms w/o tv and offer education, ect after release. Most in prison are psychopaths or sociopaths … except in Britain where they may be natives who tweeted facts.
In Lebanon, a Shia Muslim mother states: “I only had children because I want them to die and become martyrs.”
Her son responds: "I will give you what you want, a life of mourning.” He was later killed fighting for Hezbollah.
It’s a literal death cult.
At a time when Virginians are already struggling with higher electric costs, Governor Spanberger signed a bill increasing the average electric bill by $10-13 per month.
Ignore the press releases claiming it's about affordability. Look at your paycheck. Look at your electric bill. Every two weeks, you're taking home less. Every month, you're paying more. That's the reality Virginia families are facing, and it’s not right.
I'm telling everyone who asks here in France that I'm from Texas.
European wine snobs love to turn up their noses at American wine, but they conveniently forget that their precious vineyards would be literal dirt if Central Texas hadn't bailed them out. Back in the 1800s, a nasty root-eating bug pushed the French wine industry to the brink of total extinction until they came begging the Lone Star State for help. Today, a whopping 80% to 90% of all grapevines in France are physically spliced onto the rugged, subterranean roots of the stubborn Central Texas Mustang Grape. Because those nasty bugs are still chilling in the European soil today, French grapes cannot survive on their own. Every single bottle of overpriced French wine you buy is a total hybrid—delicate European fruit up top, riding piggyback on a tough-as-nails Texan bodyguard down below.
The French really ought to be writing "thank you" notes to the rocky, sun-baked hills of Central Texas every single day. While roots from other states withered and quit, those Central Texas vines had spent centuries surviving brutal droughts and limestone dirt, making them completely immune to the bugs. In 1887, thousands of rugged Central Texas cuttings were shipped across the pond, and French farmers had to slice open their fancy vines and glue them onto Texas muscle just to keep from going belly up.
