Why has there been so many flooding events?
Large amounts of water are pulsing through the skies across the United States — in many cases, near-record high levels.
This vapor is being funneled along the southern and western flank of the Bermuda high pressure system, streaming in from the tropical and subtropical Atlantic Ocean, areas where sea temperatures are warm — and much warmer than average.
Precipitable water is like the amount of fuel in a car's gas tank. The higher the level, the farther the car can go; or, in this case, the higher the level, the more rain the atmosphere can produce.
Fuel levels are currently high to very high, which means there will probably be more flooding events in the days and weeks ahead.

I don’t smoke often…but when I do, I make sure my cigars have a hint of peanut butter to accentuate the flavor.

In honor of Elon and Vivek being picked as the heads of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), here some of the dumbest uses of your tax dollars.
5. $20,000 to drag shows in Ecuador.
4. $30,000 to study the secret language of butchers in Paris.
3. $750,000 for the New York Metropolitan Opera fire alarm.
2. $350,000 to develop AI smart toilets.
1. $660,000 to study the impact that COVID had on Russian women.
🚨 Florida just became the first state in the nation to defeat an abortion initiative (Amendment 4) that would have led to taxpayer-funded abortion, abortion until birth, and beyond!
This is a HUGE victory for the pro-life movement and a true testament to what happens when a leader leans into explaining the issue.
Governor @RonDeSantis deserves a ton of credit for reversing the post-Dobbs losses!
If you only have 3 minutes to watch Tucker Carlson’s show today, this is the 3 minutes you need to see.
The pharma treadmill is making everyone sick, and you won’t believe how bad it is until you see these stats:
• Autism rates in kids are 1 in 36 nationally, compared to 1 in 1500 in the not-so-distant past.
• In California, it's even worse: Autism rates are 1 in 22.
• 74% of American adults are overweight or obese.
• Close to 50% of children are overweight or obese.
• 50% of American adults have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.
• 30% of teens now have prediabetes.
• Infertility is increasing by 1% per year.
• Sperm counts are decreasing by 1% per year since the 1970s.
• Young adult cancers are up 79%.
What's causing all this? It's simple: “Our TOXIC food system and our TOXIC environment.”
@CaseyMeansMD explains:
“The thing that people need to understand is that all of these conditions are caused or driven by the exact same thing, which is metabolic dysfunction. This core foundational issue of how our bodies on the cellular level function, which is driven by our toxic food system and our toxic environment.
“These subtle, insidious forces that are creating slow progressive illness, starting now in fetal life, that allow patients to be profitable and on the pharma treadmill for their entire lives. They make us sick, but they don't kill us. And then we are drugged for life.”
