This level of disrespect is incomprehensible.
As the names of Americans murdered on September 11th are read aloud at Ground Zero, AOC and Mamdani are laughing and smiling together.
There is a time and a place for politics. This isn’t it.
Ground Zero is sacred ground.
Those names belong to fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, firefighters, cops, and innocent Americans who went to work one morning and never came home.
For a few hours, on one day, have some damn respect.
September 11th is not a photo op.
It is not a networking event.
It is a funeral America has attended for 25 years.
It’s a classic case of “what if?”
One of the most surreal satellite images you’ll ever see is the one below taken by NASA on September 11th, 2001.
As the terrorist attacks were unfolding, Hurricane Erin was spinning ~500 miles offshore east, southeast of New York City. In the NASA satellite imagery below, you can see both Erin in the Atlantic and the smoke plumes from the World Trade Center towers being blown south by the northerly winds.
Had the high-pressure system over the Ohio Valley / Northeast not been there, the cold front wouldn’t have kicked Erin out to sea, and it is very possible that the course of history would have changed.
"Climate Crisis" is such an utterly lazy, cultish, unscientific, overused, meaningless phrase. It becomes religion for people who have no knowledge on the subject and that's sad to see.
You can trace the Ring of Fire around the ridge based of NWS warnings. The Northeast has been incredibly busy since September 1 with NWS State College issuing 81 Severe Thunderstorm, Tornado, and Flash Flood Warnings.
Severe weather recap from the last few days across our region. I will compile a final one including tonights warnings / reports at some point tomorrow. Very active stretch across the northeast.
⚡️ Scattered storms, some with frequent lightning & thunder, are moving toward our area overnight. Given the shallow, stable surface layer in place across much of the area, there's a good chance the thunder will be the deep, rumbling kind that "shake the whole house." (1/2)
Time lapse of severe thunderstorms as they moved into Lancaster County around sunset yesterday. Time lapse taken from the southwest of these storms. Best structure that I’ve seen in a while!
Slow motion videos of four lightning bolts from last night’s thunderstorm in Myrtle Beach, SC. First three videos were taken behind the storm, fourth video was taken ahead of it.
Make Standard Time permanent.
Permanent DST was tried in 1974 and it failed. I am fine with the sun “rising” early in the morning. Blackout curtains are a thing lazy people forget exist.
Then, while y’all are at it, pass a balanced budget and quit racking up the debt.
I believe in one God,
the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
He came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
He suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and His kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the Giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism
for the forgiveness of sins,
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen. 🙏🏼
