had this fight with local NC fishermen along the SE coast of NC. They came out massively against a wind farm during Biden's term. Same group was 100% for oil rigs because they attract fish. Just a political opposition funded by big oil.

Sounds exciting Tomer! Wanted advice on how to reference when used in a surf forecast youtube video like I did last week for hurricane Erin? I explicitly referenced your name, website and university BTW. This data and presentation blends well with my ensemble-based surf fcast site SpaghettiSurf.com
Liz next or Romney?
Just not true either. NASA perhaps aids in sending satellites into orbit to monitor the planet. And monitoring sea ice can be part of climate research, but more for maritime navigation and weather modeling. NASA does not run climate models or scenarios. Dumb fu*k!
This shows why he calls the bravest American military that died for the country suckers and losers. He cannot stand that anyone is respected or viewed greater than him. And instincts make him cut those people down. We all need to act like trump towards maga family and friends. That's a great test.
Imagine 3.4 more years of this. The dollar is done too. Complete global realignment as we become a Russia-like state.
fucking same with the articles on DOJ... "some fear the DOJ is becoming the President's personal legal attack dog" These are truisms not a biased point of view. He's fucking trying to control Intel's management right now. He's in every college in America right now. He's reaching into everything.
this! It is a truism that she was specifically picked for her looks as an attempt to soften one of the worst racist acts by the USA in a long long time... rounding up legal brown people working hard jobs to support the economy.
You can't make it up... she's a dog on a collar being heeled by trump who does nothing but makes fun of others looks and intelligence. fuck you!
This. Any disagreement trump has is performative. He gave the authorization by saying the US would be involved in the ethic cleansing of Gaza and assume ownership.
We saw crime increase during COVID because of the disruption, but overall trend from the early 1990s is a clear huge reduction. Under Biden crime fell to the lowest in a generation. Expect trump to saturate streets with LEO or military and then take credit for the low crime today + making water wet
We (wife and I) eat out of a big garden and the air fryer is daily. Chop up eggplant, squash, okra, beans and peppers. Salt for 10 min. Mrs. Dash seasoning and a little canola or olive oil. Mix up and air fry for 20 min @ 400 F. At 10 min or even every 5 min shake or mix up. Healthy AF.
On Noem... clear to me that trump thinks it softens ICE to have her leading because he thinks she's hot. Hopefully we are not as dumb as I think. No saying I think she's beautiful, but can see how many uninformed would give her credibility because of looks. Unfortunate primal instinct.
This shows clearly they are reducing qualifications. No doubt untrained gun nut thugs are saturating the ranks if ICE as many of us have been suggesting.
literally the Kardashian presidency...
Does not sync with him killing himself. I'd only call the closest relatives or friends.
More linkages.... Trump said of Lindsay Lohan I think who was a teen at the time that the ones fucked in the head were wild in bed literally slobbering over the young actor.
Pimp but she's a pedophile too. You'd never expect this in ever ever ever of an innocent guy. In fact, it's all super clear now. His statement about wishing her well was direct signal he'd seek to help her if she stayed quiet. Trump owning teen beauty pageant. Frequent sexual comment about teens...
Dropped COVID inflation from 9 to 2.3%. why was that bad? You left out 2024. Like saying the game is over after the 3rd Q. He started with a burned down house and ended with record stock market and fed inflation target. The freaking inflation reduction act was passed at the end of 2023. You're dumb.
Future stock market cooked book as well. USA data is fucking shit now. Literal destruction of all US economic data. All data. Sharpiegate was a clear signal. Americans are shit dumb with no ability to tie shoelaces at this point.
Think foreign investors will flee for good now. Like random numbers replaced in codes that run airplane sensors and controls. You don't want to take a flight on that plane no matter what. This literally makes the stock market a faulty plane.
We can guess that July will be revised next month to perhaps near zero jobs. Note... About 150k jobs are needed to cover young workers entering the job market. These numbers are recession level.
Plus more job losses perhaps x4 because of cuts in grants and fed programs.
A really good idea would be $1000/yr/child supplement into these accounts paid by gov for 0-17 year olds and have that means tested where incomes above $150k or so do not apply. Mainly low income folks.
3. They do allow parents to put $5000 per year. This only really helps those living comfortably now. 4. 401ks with tax relief for parents at birth for babies is not a bad idea. But you give up the game that this is a scam it only allowed for 3 years.
Not 100% accurate that it will replace SS. I think the better angle is how scammy these trump accounts are... 1. The "trump" accounts are only for babies born during trumps 3 years in office from 2026-2028. 2. They give a one time $1000 per baby. Cool, but Harris was offering $5000 tax credit/yr.
All of these Stern show comments are precisely during the Epstein high water mark. He admitted to peeping at naked young girls too. It blows the mind that this clear admission is ignored or shrugged off by his Christian base. Should be the start of any conversation with maga types.
Plus his admission he just does what he wants because they let you when your super powerful and famous.
Should also bring his comments about under age girls at his beauty pageant forward again. He admits in proud tone that he was a peeping tom of naked girls because he "owned" them. Zero doubt he participated in raping teens if he thought it was cool to peep at them naked and close friend of a pedo.
Every day this question needs to be asked. "You were completely aware that Epstein enjoyed raping vulnerable girls. Why did you continue the close friendship and compete for the same girls?"
Pic you get when searching for info on diabetes...
Projecting like a movie on the big screen. So we know now with certainty he will use Maxwell to put names of his enemies out there.
15% effective VAT tax... Never thought republicans would become the party of massive VAT taxes on most goods.
You see this in every presser or rally nonsense. He just hears something from conspiracy people around him and it becomes gospel. Repeat, repeat, repeat. The fucking dismantling of our federal government right now is all based on these tales that have crowded out any actual facts in his mind.
Scenario... trump has his DOJ release a name each week they claim is on an "Epstein list" and confirmed by Maxwell. His base is captured and completely ignore his ties. And he uses the list as blackmail or even the threat of being tagged to the list to get powerful men to do his bidding.
"... it’s time to go after people.” Expect faked Epstein file leaks folks. What better way to go after perceived enemies than controlling these files that have captured the interests of Americans big time. Maxwell is a close friend of trump. For freedom, there is no doubt she will play along.
EPA's ORD destruction is a prime example. And core knowledge from teams like CMAQ dev are moving decades of expertise to air quality science overseas.
Nothingman. Waste of words. Nothing has meaning. Just makes up a series of words. No value. As he goes further mental decline we need more recognition that his peeps are running around trying to cover for his nothingness. The dude just fired two leaders who pushed back on sharpigate. We fucked.
They will release names after the list is scrubbed and they add a few on his retribution list. Bank on it... This seems clear as day. The right wing base will fall right in line.
trump has reached so far and wide like telling specific colleges how they need to operate or even how other countries run their judicial systems. But he acts like he's on the sidelines with respect to the FBI and Epstein files.
Use the coffee example. Coffee is up some 30%. Almost everyone is an addict.
Clear example would be a town like Burnsville. The Ingles would not survive without Social Security paying out to the mostly retired population base. And SNAP.
Killer points my friend. I spent years during the Obama era talking to friends and family in rural McDowell Co about these issues. Many lost sight or ignorant of how important SNAP or Medicaid is for a rural town. That busy corner mart and small grocery store (DG now) would go under without SNAP.
100% trump shows his corruption. Blown away that it has been normalized now that the DOJ is a weapon of the President.
Great question... because the Dems did not make the DOJ a political weapon. Super clear projection of his methods of operation. Had an epiphany last evening. He has dogs (his political peeps) leashed by the Epstein list. Bondi kompromat comes to mind as she's involved as FL AG. Lutnick. Many others
Degrading nation. Just celebrated 25 years of Air Quality model development. Expect the ending of the national AQ forecasting next as they decimate development. This reaches a lot of jobs in academia, private sector and state gov. Wild to even think we are ending core environmental science in the US
Incredible work Zack! Retired weather guy here that worked in evaluation/data analysis and the presentation is top notch. Good to see the younger generation doing great work. Best of luck in your career.
"I don't know what the fascination is..." This is such a crazy statement to throw out there to his Q base who are sure the list is full of Democratic politicians and Hollywood elites. Even liberals have been very interested considering trump's super close ties and personal pedophile issues.
Great point! Codes are open source in most cases. China is already using many of these models and scientists involved in cooperative development. Europe and China will lead weather in this new era.
Important point... Many forced out in the matter of days to couple weeks. Not even enough time to document decades of codes, files and software. Then instances like US EPA ORD where key world-class models like CMAQ lost entire dev teams. Including eval and viz support tools. Clearly the point.
Super informative comment for context. I need to look deeper at the racism-antitrust relationship. This accumulation of economic sectors in a few hands has been super-charged. Musk & Bezos running fed gov contracts and private sector in multiple diverse business is scary.
Wild. Interpretation... I don't want to hurt powerful men with claims of being pedo. Why? I'm one of them. Powerful old men are more important than abused teen girls.
She could blow up his entire world... either that or she'll be murdered.
This is your moment Skaters & Surfers not from San Clemente.
First thought when those pictures of tents and bunks was the show naked and afraid. Imagine a ungodly humid night with a light on over you in the middle of a swamp. One assumes the lights are for attracting and concentrating biting insects as punishment for freaking picking our food. Wow.
How many of these local authorities were punch drunk the night of the 4th and missed the NWS warnings?
There were flood warnings. My thought is early morning after an evening that is traditionally coupled with heavy alcohol consumption. Just heard the county had a warning plan for campers. Were local authorities responsible sleeping off whisky? Good and easy thread for local news to pull.
2. The hydrologists would have known as each 1 min update of the radar precisely what was about to occur. I'm a meteorologist and there was plenty enough time to warn campers in a well know flooding area with that radar animation in hand. These radars provide rain estimates.
*THIS* Note that the program that forced these public servants out of their careers hit the most experienced workers in these disciplines. Two key points: 1. Done so fast there was no effort for continuity of operations as in training replacements.
only through 2028 too.
Another fact: The false advertising for no tax on tips will hurt the workers or be a wash. Tipping will be lower as consumers assume the workers are not paying any taxes. Whether that's this jealousy problem Americans have when another group gets a super good deal or they are doing great.
Should be a clearly laid out fact that any tax deduction in the bill they claim as a completely zero tax only last for tax years 2026-2028. A small three year deduction for workers, but the tax cuts for elite billionaires last forever. That's says it all.
trump has an investigation ordered by now. He will use the doj to release fake information on this Dem candidate for mayor. As 2026 arrives, this will be a strategy Dem House and Senators running in key races. Just like the stuff he tried to do with Biden before the 2020 election. Mark my words.
jesus fucking christ... I look at this as a view into how much corruption we are not seeing right now. If he's openly doing these trade lot level schemes, imagine the more serious corruption taking place right now behind closed doors. And I'm following a flounder ban in NC... era of greed is good.
100%. republicans are centralized around the decrees of one person at the top. All the way down to the state and county level. Tread all over me... he's successfully control corporations. Controlling judicial system. Has complete control of Congress. He will soon control the Federal Reserve. King!
The younger half of Americans generally reject end of times tales. They look at Israel like any other country in the world. If a country executes genocide, most non-religious are horrified. This is one of those situations where a person becomes what they once despised. republicans are as well.
I have no disrespect for the Jewish faith and people. But the state of Israel has been tarnished beyond repair because of their political leader. It is no secret that evangelical end of times mythology is the only reason many support that state with no questions. Their numbers are mostly old peeps
It's wild republicans are now the party of grabbing companies and acting as a broker in forced sales. This is actually a form of communism where the state controls means of production.
By pure maga standards he had a little old school republican but a true independent voice he is not. John Kasich or a John McCain more specifically not only spoke out, but showed it in votes. Proof... I can't think of a single vote that stood against maga.
It will pass. The strategy is making sure voters know every sick proposal over the next year+. My personal strategy is to use it every chance in conversations where a new part of the law has some relevance. And make maga voters own it like sister on medicaid next time she asks for money.
They are already going after bystanders recording these kidnappings. Next will be going after people online posting these stories. Daily Kos is being attacked by the DOJ now. They cannot say exactly why, but likely get user information in this attack. Perhaps to cross-link with social media.
4. He was clear in the comments that ICE will use contractors to carry out there raids. They will have less constraints and training with the primary qualification of being maga political operatives. And no reason to fear any legal problems attached to their poor behavior as we see with Jan 6 thugs.
3. Agriculture will die. Lookout for massive increase in food inflation as we move into harvest seasons for various warm season veggies.
2. they are actively eradicating all working immigrants here without documentation and now those with legal status. Think the community in Ohio re "eating cats and dogs" and how removing all of those workers will kill business and small town America.
Most important news of the year IMO. 1. Biden was deporting just as many true criminals in the country illegally. trump's team found out quick this easy picking only netted a few thousand actual criminals. To get the numbers they quickly transitioned to immigrant workers.
LOL... he'll use the statement in an ad to fake out his white trash trailer park base too dumb to know he voted to take away their SNAP.
Sadly a roll of the racism dice will get white folk back in line.
He knows what triggers the trailer park trash base. What pure racism.
Doing a great job so far Mr. Stein. I'd like to suggest taking a pro-fisherman/woman position on the flounder ban as the law/system allows. You would garner a ton of support in the coastal fishing community that is ruby red right now.
And they are bragging about raising 30 billion last month in tariff taxes freaking paid by American consumers.
recall many of us bringing up the fact that trump's life has been in court. Somewhere around a new legal issue every few days or week over his lifetime. Barr resisted to an extent full throttle targeting of entities based on trump's demands. No more. And nothing doj is to be believed now. Lawless.
Bin Laden raid...
So wild.... Clear dictator like we see throughout history where they have 18 holes in one in a golf game. Or win an election 100% to 0. Everything has to be perfect. It should be normal to discount every single thing he claims by now.
projection is the golden rule of trump... It works with everything he does and says.
I'm just wondering the emotions of the evangelicals that only have interest in this because of end of time tales. Make Iran great again has to hit bible thumpers in a strange way. LOL. Good way to tease an evanglical maga in your life today.
Like other comments... jezuz crist the cult is strong... recall my Mom telling me that a wealthy aunt donated a full kitchen to our church but hush hush because you don't help people for recognition. That always stuck with me today where we don't discuss any charity. trump is as far opposite as is.
I really hope there has been some infiltration of ICE. It would be quite simple if vetting is so poor. I'm sure there are a few whistleblowers now. We'll certainly get a view of the inside at some point relatively soon I'd think.
Certainly no standards for fitness which seems a key part of the job. Saw a group of local cops in my area and all were grossly obese. One could barely walk/waddle. A larger society problem, but super high meat/saturated fat consumption is popular in right wing male circles = diabetes.
Have to beat up on people to take away from how poorly they feel about their own image and health. Those bodies are the cohort of men that die young or hit the level of diabetes in their 40s and heart disease by 50. Thrive off adrenaline of violence. Spreading as normal for all cops now. Fight back!
There can be no justification for this. op: @aaronparnas.bsky.social
**THIS** I've lost contact since the election, but have two extended family members that were Iraq Blackwater. From my contact in recent years they worked gov funded security jobs. Hot head maga to the core. They look just like these guys.
fat ass thugs...
fuck evangelical warmongers that are jazzed up over end of times fiction!
I talk with every single stranger about trump shit now by finding clever ways to insert in conversations. Like the nurse who was taking my blood a few days ago asked what I was up to... brought up my big garden because trump was deporting all the ag workers that will drive up food costs.
We've become the evil-doers along with Israel. Zero difference from Russia. Been slowly disconnecting the patriotism connections in my brain over the last few months because it hurts too bad otherwise.
jesus christ
Amazing diagnosis of small town Iowa.
Gone are days where you focus on perfecting a craft or product. Doing one thing really well like a tool or car. This era has billionaires trying to take over everything.
jeeze... he alone was responsible for so many cuts and job losses to "save" money while literally lighting billions on fire in wild explosions paid by taxpayers. Just this catastrophe could have saved thousands of public service jobs he cut.
Been thinking deeper about the impact of AI on a college education and even professional jobs. Even K-12 education. I think it will only be 5-10 years before some states start replacing teachers with AI-based classes. And the maga budget bill opens the door as it limits any regulation by states.
