America has ALREADY paid full reparations for Slavery with 1.5 Million casualties during the Civil War.

No matter how often journalists repeat the lie that summers are becoming more extreme in the U.S., it doesn’t make their claims true.

So, I’ll post this chart again.

I’ll post this as many times as I need to this summer until it resonates. Study it and stare at it until your eyes fall out of their sockets. And, when they do, finger them back into your skull and study this some more until it is burned into your retinas. 👀

This plot shows the average number of days per year with daily maximum temperatures ≥95°, ≥100° and ≥105° per USHCN station since 1895. 🌡️

The trend is down. ⬇️

You will not see this reported anywhere in the press. I guarantee it. The extremes don’t increase at the same rate that the background warming does. Extremes are a reflection of the bounds of natural variability. Trends don’t create extremes.

There is also no such thing as “climate-fueled heat.” That’s media-spun BS. The climate is not a fuel. Local environmental conditions at the time of occurrence are. That’s called “weather.” Stop confusing the two concepts.

Thanks for coming to my science lecture.

Which one of you is responsible for this??? 🤣

Not sure about you but as an American, THE most important issue to me is always our national security. I sat down with @WesleyHuntTX & @ByronDonalds last week right before the Biden/Trump debate and I was blown away by these 2 examples they shared — especially the story of @realDonaldTrump negotiation with the Taliban. Further proof of why we should be very concerned about what has/has not happened under the WEAKNESS of the Biden administration.

Congressman Wesley Hunt Reveals Jaw-Dropping Trump Story

This is amazing.

In a tense meeting with Taliban leaders, Trump declared, “I want to leave Afghanistan, but it’s going to be a conditions-based withdrawal,” before issuing a stark warning.

“If you harm a hair on a single American, I’m going to kill you,” Trump said. The translator conveyed this exact message.

Trump then “reached in his pocket, pulled out a satellite photo of the leader of the Taliban’s home, handed it to him, got up and walked out the room.”

Ok kiddos...It's time for Environmental Class!!

YAY !!!!

This is a Tesla model Y battery. It takes up all of the space under the passenger compartment of the car.

To manufacture it you need:
--12 tons of rock for Lithium (can also be extracted from sea water)
-- 5 tons of cobalt minerals (Most cobalt is made as a byproduct of processing copper and nickel ores. It is the most difficult and expensive material to obtain for a battery.)
-- 3 tons nickel ore
-- 12 tons of copper ore
You must move 250 tons of soil to obtain:
-- 26.5 pounds of Lithium
-- 30 pounds of nickel
-- 48.5 pounds of manganese
-- 15 pounds of cobalt
To manufacture the battery also requires:
-- 441 pounds of aluminum, steel and/or plastic
-- 112 pounds of graphite

The Caterpillar 994A is used to move the earth to obtain the minerals needed for this battery. The Caterpillar consumes 264 gallons of diesel in 12 hours.
The bulk of necessary minerals for manufacturing the batteries come from China or Africa. Much of the labor in Africa is done by children. When you buy an electric car, China profits most.

The 2021 Tesla Model Y OEM battery (the cheapest Tesla battery) is currently for sale on the Internet for $4,999 not including shipping or installation. The battery weighs 1,000 pounds (you can imagine the shipping cost). The cost of Tesla batteries are:
Model 3 -- $14,000+ (Car MSRP $38,990)
Model Y -- $5,000–$5,500 (Car MSRP $47,740)
Model S -- $13,000–$20,000 (Car MSRP $74,990)
Model X -- $13,000+ (Car MSRP $79,990)

It takes 7 years for an electric car to reach net-zero CO2. The life expectancy of the battery is 10 years (average). Only in the last 3 years do you start to reduce your carbon footprint, but then the batteries must be replaced and you lose all gains made.

And finally, consider the amount of energy required to process the raw materials and the amount of energy used to haul these batteries to the U.S. sometimes back and forth a couple of times.

This is America! I fully support your right to buy whatever car you want to.

If you want an electric car, get one.

Just don't sell me on how awesome you are for the environment. Or for human rights.

Class dismissed !

I interviewed Whitey Herzog once a year for the last 25 years in his basement. He educated me on the game and made me laugh every time. He never missed a Cardinal game on television and to this day is the smartest baseball person I have ever met.

Leader. Innovator. World Series Champion. Hall of Famer. Legend.

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of former Cardinals manager Whitey Herzog, who passed away at the age of 92.

[MLB @MLB]

We are deeply saddened by the passing of former Cardinals and Royals manager Whitey Herzog, a 2010 Baseball Hall of Fame inductee who won 3 NL pennants with the Cardinals in 1982, 1985 and 1987, NL manager of the year honors in 1985 and a World Series championship in 1982. He was 92.

[Myrna 𝕏 @GigaBeers]

Just a reminder as Trump’s trial begins…

[Augie Nash @AugieNash]

The end of an amazing era of Cardinals history has closed

Thank you Whitey for bringing "Whitey Ball" to St Louis

The fans will never forget you - not only as a great manager, but as a kind and decent man

I hope the fish are biting in Heaven!
