@JohnCornyn From my young school days, I was taught that we have a constitutional republic, a representative government and it is of, by and for the people. You, and your cohorts, are elected to represent the people and their wishes. When are you going to do so instead of your interests?

@warrior19RN Beach time?

[Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX]

A major heatwave will begin next week across the central and eastern U.S.

High temperatures in the 90s and 100s are likely as far north as Southeastern Pennsylvania. So, summer basically lol.

Undoubtedly, there’ll be plenty climate hysteria to go around.

But neither the number of hot days nor heatwaves have increased in the U.S. since 1895.

The chart on the left shows the average annual number of days reaching 95°F (35°C), 100°F (37.8°C) and 105°F (40.6°C) per station at 657 United States NOAA GHCNd stations (area weighted) with at least 100 years of daily data and 90% daily completeness from 1895 to 2025.

The long-term trend is down. ⬇️

𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝟏𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐰/ 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐓𝐦𝐚𝐱 ≥𝟗𝟓°𝐅:

2️⃣ 1934

5️⃣ 1933
6️⃣ 1913
7️⃣ 1925
8️⃣ 1980 (most recent)
9️⃣ 1930
🔟 1911

Interestingly, only one of top 15 has been in the last 70 years, and only two in the 21st century made the top 20 (2011 and 2012, which rank 17th and 19th place, respectively).

8️⃣ 2023 (most recent)
9️⃣ 1918
🔟 1933

The heatwave in Texas and Oklahoma in 2023 bumped it up to 8th place.

But a more robust metric to assess time-dependent changes in extreme heat events would be to look at the area-weighted average number of heatwaves per station per year.

The chart on the right shows that.

Heatwaves are defined here as a ≥3 consecutive day period where the daily maximum temperature is ≥90th percentile (against 1991-2020 averages) for that date for that station and for the months May-September.

Once again, the trend is down. ⬇️

𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝟏𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐰/ 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬:

1️⃣ 1936: 5.77
2️⃣ 1934: 5.39
3️⃣ 1933: 5.15
4️⃣ 1931: 4.90
5️⃣ 1911: 4.85
6️⃣ 1954: 4.71
7️⃣ 1925: 4.59
8️⃣ 1930: 4.41
9️⃣ 1913: 4.35
🔟 1952 / 1939: 4.34

None of the top 20 have been in the 21st century. The most recent summer with the greatest number of heatwaves per U.S. station occurred in 1988. All other 19 occurred 70+ years ago. It is also worth mentioning that whether or not you consider the 1930s to be an outlier, 2012 is the most recent entry at #30.

Most of the warming that we measure is in overnight low temperatures, not daytime highs, and a significant amount of that could be due to urbanization.

So, if it reaches 100°F at your house next week, it’s just summer.

Carry on! 🏖️ 🌴

🚨Resolution to Censure Senate Majority Leader Thune🚨

👉While it was approved by the Resolutions Committee, it still needs to be voted on by the South Dakota Republican Party👈

“WHEREAS an overwhelming majority of citizens from not just South Dakota, but the entire United States of America, support the passage of the SAVE America Act;

WHEREAS US Senate Majority Leader John Thune continues his refusal to act in accordance with the will of American Citizens through his failure to lead
the passage of the SAVE America Act;

WHEREAS US Senate Majority Leader John Thune has wantonly and repeatedly acted as a roadblock to President Donald Trump and the American First
Agenda, squandering the opportunity presented by Republican control of the US House, US Senate, and the Presidency, where failure to pass the SAVE
America Act is the most glaring and inexcusable example;

THEREFORE, let it be resolved that the South Dakota Republican Party officially Censures South Dakota Senator and US Senate Majority Leader John
Randolph Thune until such time as the SAVE America Act is passed by the US Senate and officially signed into law by President Donald J. Trump.”

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

Since our movement is trending right now, let me introduce myself:

My name is Scott Presler.

I’m an Eagle Scout & son of a retired Navy Captain.

I moved to Pennsylvania in 2024 & launched an organization for the sole purpose of helping to re-elect President Trump.

I’ve spent the last decade of my life registering tens of thousands of voters, electing Republicans to all levels of office, & helping to build up Republican structures from the county & state levels.

I’ve traveled to over 40 states to grow the Republican Party.

For the last 6 months, I’ve met with members of Congress to pass the SAVE America Act — which would require photo voter ID & proof of citizenship to vote.

What I’m advocating for has overwhelming support from the American people.

Yet I was not allowed entry to a dinner last night in Rapid City, South Dakota, because Senate Majority Leader Thune was present.

When they go after me, they are really coming for you.

I will not be bullied, pressured, intimidated & I won’t stop pushing for the country-saving SAVE America Act.

Thank you for having my back — peacefully.

[Jay @JamesBryhan]

This Tweetstorm is important for one simple reason:

It gives the Stargate community one voice.

For one hour, fans from around the world can come together to show that Stargate is not a forgotten franchise. That the audience is still here. That the passion is still here.

Every post.

Every repost.

Every comment.

Every story shared.

Helps remind people why this universe still matters.

Not to look back at what Stargate was.

But to look forward to what it could still become.

Thank you to everyone supporting this movement, including @BaronDestructo, @martingero, @MichaelShanks, @robertpatrickT2, @imcorinnemec @dial_the_gate and @SGFansUnited.

Together we’ve shown that years after the last series aired, Stargate continues to inspire people around the world.

And if Stargate is currently streaming on both Prime and Netflix, two of the biggest and most successful streaming platforms on the planet, does that not show exactly how popular it still is?

Does that not show there is still value in this franchise?

The audience is here.

The community is here.

The gate is still open.

Join us.

Share your story.

Make your voice heard.

We shall not go quietly into the night!

Hot Diggity Dog “You just PISSED ME OFF”

Marion County FL Sheriff Billy Woods just went OFF on a piece of shit reporter who shifted topics away from a major sting operation to capture child sex criminals.

“Out of all this shit, you want to ask about another case? We’re talking about CHILDREN! — THAT (points to the sex predators) is what you need to be focused on— this press conference is solely for those pieces of shit right there.”

Skenes stayed for over two hours, signing autographs and hanging out with the kids.

A day these kids will never forget.
