Scott Walker, who ought to know, urges DeSantis to spend less while remembering what made Trump's campaign unique
He's from Milwaukee. For president in 2016 he spent like he was blitzed on Blatz.
Here:
From the moment he opened his mouth at the first presidential primary debate in Cleveland, he took command of the discussion. Every voter knew he was going to build the wall, drain the swamp, and prevent radical Islamic terrorists from coming to America.
Yeah, build the wall.
Too bad about that.

C'mon man, the National Weather Service can't decide RIGHT NOW what the weather is, let alone tomorrow, next week, next year, or in ten years
One man's partly sunny is not another man's mostly cloudy.
Trump has learned nothing, still admires the strong man of China
“Think of President Xi. Central casting, brilliant guy. You know, when I say he’s brilliant, everyone says, ‘Oh that’s terrible,'” said Trump during the event. “Well, he runs 1.4 billion people with an iron fist. Smart, brilliant, everything perfect. There’s nobody in Hollywood like this guy. I got them to pay us $28 billion because they screwed our farmers for years.”
Here.
Not even Asian Americans like China, including Chinese Asian Americans.
LOL WaPo: "Global warming has brought a steady increase in average temperatures"
Except it hasn't. Average temperature in Phoenix is still running 1 deg. F below normal year-to-date.
Mean average annual temperature in Phoenix is 72.2 deg. F since 1895. Year-to-date it's 72.9. In 1974, the year of its big June heat wave, it was 73.1. The hottest year ever by average temperature was six years ago, when Phoenix averaged 77.3.
WaPo didn't check apparently, or simply omitted the inconvenient data.
Same with Reno, NV and Las Vegas, NV, both of which are mentioned in the story.
Reno is running 2.8 deg. F below normal year-to-date. Las Vegas is running 2.4 deg. F below normal.
El Paso is indeed setting records, but year-to-date its average temperature is still only 1.5 deg. F above normal. Annualized it would make the top ten warmest years ever, but the year is far from over.
Either way, WaPo is simply full of it, as usual.
It's also worth mentioning the special pleading going on.
WaPo cites the June 1974 Phoenix climatological records as proof that it's hotter now than during that heat wave:
Temperatures have averaged above 101 degrees in Phoenix over the past 17 days. That is significantly hotter than another record-setting heat wave, when the city surpassed 110 degrees on 18 consecutive days in 1974. During that stretch, temperatures averaged 96.5 degrees.
The June 1974 data is the same data The Weather Gods have now declared unreliable, but WaPo wants to have it both ways when the micro-average-comparisons are convenient, you know, like Hillary or Hunter, one law for me, another for thee:
Reliable observation times are not available prior to 1982.

A random list of U.S. cities with above average temperature year to date coincidentally averages +1.7 degrees F
Checked yesterday:
Seattle, WA +0.2 degrees F
Baton Rouge, LA +4.3
Minneapolis, MN +1.1
DFW, TX +2.3
Grand Rapids, MI +1.7
Miami, FL +2.8
Pensacola, FL +3.3
Milwaukee, WI +2.2
Juneau, AK +0.8
Albany, NY +2.7
Tulsa, OK +0.2
Helena, MT +0.5
Omaha, NE +0.10
Concord, NH +2.2
Burlington, VT +2.7
Ft. Wayne, IN +2.1
Marquette, MI +1.5
Duluth, MN +0.2
Memphis, TN +1.5
The anomaly for Grand Rapids, where I live, year-to-date is 3.5% above 48.2 degrees F, the mean average annual temperature going back to the 1890s.
The peak full year anomaly for Grand Rapids was in 2012: 9.5% above normal.
So if 2023 is a climate emergency, what was 2012?
Factor in the 10 cities with below normal temperatures from the previous post and the 2023 anomaly year to date drops to +0.55 degrees F for 29 randomly chosen locations (my yellow legal pad has 28 blue lines).
Enjoy the beach.

Death Valley, CA, Climate Emergency ROFLMAO, where year-to-date average temperature is running 1.7 degrees F below normal
If it's in The Grauniad, it's probably wrong.

Trump endorsed in '24 by all of Michigan's Republican members of Congress: Walberg, Huizenga, Moolenaar, Bergman, and McClain
Update:
LOL, The Detroit Free Press mentioned that Detroit's own Republican Congressman John James (MI-10) also endorsed Trump in a separate statement mentioned further down, making all six Republicans in Michigan endorsing Trump, not just the five mentioned in the lede.
Progressives and liberals are in a panic over Ron DeSantis because he's tapping into a huge shift in public support for law and order and against LGBT
Gallup shows the huge shifts in 2023 from 2022.
Support for the death penalty is up 5-points nationally. Support for LGBT is down 7-points. Those are massive changes.
And on most of the issues tracked, which are barometers of libertinism in the United States, support is also down, from birth control to fornication, to teenage sex and divorce.
Win or lose, DeSantis represents the backlash against the left which is sweeping the country.

LOL: In September 2009 peak oil disciple Ugo Bardi channeled 1972's The Limits to Growth gang saying "we are in trouble with crude oil"
From his
“Peak Civilization”: The Fall of the Roman Empire :
As things stands, we seem to be blithely following the same path that the Roman Empire followed. Our leaders are unable to understand complex systems and continue to implement solutions that worsen the problem. As the wise druid was trying to tell to Marcus Aurelius, building walls to keep the barbarians out was a loss of resources that was worse than useless. But I can see the politicians of the time running on a platform that said, “Keep the barbarians out! More walls to defend the empire”. It is the same for us. Tell a politician that we are in trouble with crude oil and he/she will immediately say “drill deeper!” or “drill, baby, drill!” Negative feedback kills. ...
we are going where the laws of physics are taking us. A world with less crude oil, or with no crude oil at all, cannot be the same world we are used to, but it doesn’t need to be the Middle Ages again.

Recession delayed again: Full-time employment in June 2023 and 1H2023 holds its own with full-year 2022
Full time employment as a percentage of population hit 50.92% in June 2023.
In June 2022 the figure was 50.64%.
The average for 1H2023 is 50.12, which compares favorably with full year 2022 at 50.1.
135.86 million full-time is a new record high.

All you need to know about the hottest day ever
Tuesday’s global average temperature was calculated by a model . . . to estimate daily average temperatures starting in 1979.
“This is our ‘best guess’ of what the surface temperature at each point on earth was yesterday,” [Paolo Ceppi] said.
WaPo, of course.
Meanwhile, back in the real world of actual measurement, the highest maximum at KGRR so far in 2023 was 91 degrees F, on three days in June.
And the hottest 4th of July was way back in 1911. Yesterday made it to 89.
Maximum temperature observed has been in decline here for decades.
