This analyst Mark A. Shyrock is only on FB but what he is saying is so important that I am going to try and copy his article onto Bluesky. He is a much better source of info that the legacy media because he is not peddling propaganda!

3. If you live in where the weather goes below 0°F in winter AND above 110°F in summer, big OOF. You get TWO holidays each year and everyone's deepest condolences. Please move away from upper Midwest, you don't have to live like this.
A screenshot of the page from Harper's where Robert Frost's poem "FIRE AND ICE" was first published. It says:

Some say the world will end in fire, 
  Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
  But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
  To know that for destruction ice
Is also great,
  And would suffice.

Wonder why there are long lines at the airport? It’s bc Dems 5x have tried to pass a stand alone bill that would fund TSA, the USCG, FEMA, and SS, but Rs voted the bill down 5x. Rs can end long lines at airports, but refuse to bc they want to include in the bill protection for the ICE goons.

The bill builds on earlier legislation that mandated terminal companies conduct seismic vulnerability assessments and develop plans to mitigate earthquake-related risks.

Trump thinks he owns the Western Hemisphere and that he's going to split the world up with his fellow despots. This is not hyperbole.
