I’m sorry to hear this.

Congratulations! And I'm so sorry.

Mike Johnson

Apparently Conservapedia does a "Conservative of the Year" competition. Their current 2024 nominations include:

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), for being by far the most effective House Republican in standing up against the weaponization of government by liberals. In addition, she exposed the bigotry and moral-bankruptcy by twisted woke-fanaticism, in the infamous "depends on the conext" 'calls-for-genocide' - earthquake (5 Dec 2023) congressional hearing. Ultimately leading to resignations.[1]

NFL star Aaron Rodgers for making a complete fool out of liberal bully Jimmy Kimmel in response to his self-centered demands for apology, after Kimmel had disparaged Rodgers for years without ever apologizing.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, rejected Joe Biden's demand to allow illegal immigrants entrance into the United States unhindered.[2]

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, for winning the Republican nomination for governor by running on a strongly conservative platform as an African American.

Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), who could become the first repeat winner since Donald Trump, as Vance (and Trump) carried Bernie Moreno to a spectacular landslide win in the GOP Ohio primary 2024 on March 19, 2024.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), for his stances on covid, Ukraine aid, and government spying.[3]

Who do you support? If none, who would you nominate? Who do you think will win?

From what i've heard crisis is comparable to 1980s when thousands of people were evacuated.

I have bad news: Americans are political polling themselves to death.

There are way too many people standing open-mouthed in front of the firehose of “BREAKING PRESIDENTIAL POLLING NEWS.” They’re gagging or growing bloated and, quite frankly, I think it’s affecting their brains.

Right this moment, just past the mid-point of May, there are only three things any of us can say with certainty about the November presidential election:

Donald Trump might win.

Joe Biden might win.

RFK Jr. is definitely not going to win.

Stuff like this is a large part of the reason I increasingly believe the divide in our politics is between normal people and weird people.

Which is why I'm supporting Royce White for US Senate.

Since the residency of Toronto MPs was brought up not that long ago.

Well, even if a Hurricane does strike Florida (And I hope it doesn't) the State has a pretty good crisis Manager in Governor DeSantis. The way he and the Florida Emergency Department handled Hurricanes IAN (2022) and IDALIA (2023) was pretty darn good.

If he does a good job, than all the better for everyone involved here.

And I also hope it will be mostly fishy storms (that don't impact land) or minimal impact, but it's better to be prepared for the worst.

So far, even is SSTs warm at the slowest rate ever from may to august, there would be three years that would be warmer than 2024 in the tropical region: 2005, 2020 and last year 2023. Last year had an El Nino so not eveyr metric was in favour.

2005 and 2020 are tied record breaking seasons, 2005 having Katrina also as most famous hurricane.

Walmart had pretty good earnings , maybe a shift of middle income consumers to trashier Walmart ?

Walmart said as much on its earnings call that more high earners were shopping at its stores mainly through its Walmart+ delivery.

It’s funny how you can differentiate the higher end Walmarts by how many reserved pickup parking spots there are. The more there are, the nicer the store. No one wants to go inside..
