"Just put the fires out!"

Ever seen a boreal wildfire? I have. I used to fight them.

When fire behaviour becomes extreme, you're not getting close to them.

The radiant heat from a crown fire is face-melting from hundreds of metres away.

All attempts at direct attack will fail, because dropping water on it becomes akin to trying to spit on a campfire...it evaporates before it even hits the flames.

Additionally, reduced visibility, high winds, and turbulence makes aerial attack hazardous.

As a wildland firefighter, I've been extracted off of wildfires twice as our fires blew up, both times having our gear burned over. We returned to find firehoses and metal melted into the ash.

I've seen fireballs launched hundreds of feet high, and fires intense enough to produce lightning, influencing the weather around them. I've seen wildfires grow to the size of a major city in a short period of time.

So no, we can't just put the fire out.

Not being able to stop such a natural process is a truly humbling feeling.

Norway's youth sports model is super unique:

• No scorekeeping until age 13
• Participation trophies for everyone
• No travel teams or national championships
• No online publishing of scores or athlete rankings
• Parents typically spend less than $1,000 per child per year

The result?

A 93% participation rate — 40 points higher than the U.S. — and more Winter Olympic medals than any other country in history, despite Norway having a population comparable to the Philadelphia metro area (5.6 million).

And it's not just winter sports...

Norway now produces some of the world’s best summer sport athletes, including Erling Haaland (soccer), Casper Ruud (tennis), Viktor Hovland (golf), and Jakob Ingebrigtsen (track and field).

So if you want to learn more about how Norway's youth sports system actually works (and what other countries can learn from it), here's an essay I recently wrote during the Winter Olympics that breaks it all down.

COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.

There is no close second in our history.

Not a great sign that President Trump’s judicial nominees seem incapable of stating that President Trump is ineligible to run for a third term.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

We are ALL FAILING this country.

Donald Trump needs to be removed from office.

He should have been removed before the war started. He is mentally unwell.

Forget the Jesus pictures. Forget the Pope. We can go through hundreds of examples.

The sane washing — pretending this is normal — that's just the surface problem.

The real problem is that we have willing accomplices.

What we have in America right now is a complete failure of political elites to execute on the constitutional system that was built specifically for this moment.

We are all accomplices to this man's reckless behavior.

-Every senator who stays quiet.
-Every executive who writes the check.
-Every commentator who normalizes it.

He needs to be removed from office and he won't be.

I keep saying, as a Trump biographer, that this man holds deeply deranged beliefs—on almost every subject—he cannot be talked out of by experts, to the point that it can accurately be said that he lives in his own warped reality. 25th this man immediately. https://t.co/aY1g5q1dpz
