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.
