Still not entirely clear about the risk of storms on Thursday, but here's my best shot
TLDR: Generally nice weather continues this week except for Thursday, which will be hot and maybe stormy
Low tonight around 60
Tomorrow, Wednesday, chance of showers in the afternoon and very slight chance of a thunderstorm, nothing serious though, otherwise cloudy and seasonal, with highs around 80
Wednesday night slight chance of showers, low in the mid 60s
Thursday, chance of showers and breezy, hot with highs near 90. There is also a chance that a warm front cruising through to our north could cause thunderstorms, with a slight chance of high winds and hail. The front though is likely to come through Thurs night, and without the daytime heat the instability will be lower and the risk as well
....and then it gets better...
Friday sun and clouds, lower humidity, high in the low 80s. Friday night mostly clear, low in the lower 60s
The weekend looks lovely, with sunny days, highs in the low 80s, and lows in the mid to low 60s
asinine religious (mostly christian) beliefs are given a pass, regardless of their asininity. e.g. the mormons. or how about the laying of hands in the oval office?
asinine beliefs like believing in bigfoot or flat earth, not so much.
Wait, what? Bigfoot is not real? Next, you'll be claiming Nessie doesn't exist.
They'll take my Nessie from my cold, wooly-gloved hands.
When will you come to grips that we have a rotting piece of boiled blubber running our country into the ground?
And one other thing - there is only one way for a leader to show respect for our men and women in uniform. That is to send them to war only when absolutely necessary and to do so with the commitment from the American people to do what it will take to win.
Trump and Kegsbreath are engaging in theatrics at the expense of our military and the country.
Under the 2015 JCOPA deal with Iran, in exchange for lifting economic sanctions, Iran agreed to restrictions on Iran’s production and storage of enriched nuclear materials, to allow International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to gain access to sites where activity related to the nuclear program was suspected to occur, and to adhere to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which included not pursuing nuclear weapons. Critics – not the least of whom was Donald Trump - didn’t like the Sunset clause that allowed the enrichment regulations to expire by 2031, the release of Iranian funds, and the fact that the terms didn’t place prohibitions on Iran funding so-called proxy groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah. According to Ben Rhodes, a security adviser for Obama, Netanyahu was livid about that lack of proxy controls. Obama said the deal wasn't perfect but it was the best attainable at the time.
Trump pulled the USA out of the JCOPA in 2018, an action which freed Iran to fully pursue an unchecked nuclear capability. Thus, if there has been any buildup by Iran, it's due to Trump. A few months ago, under the guise of dealing with an impending nuclear attack by Iran, we attacked Iran in an illegal war. The attack was pointless and did more to set off a global economic mess, further destabilize and radicalize the middle east, and alienate our allies around the world than anything else. In fact, IAEA Director General Grossi said there was no evidence that Iran was manufacturing atomic weapons and in a March 1st congressional briefing, Trump administration/Pentagon officials admitted there was no intelligence concerning an attack by Iran.
But, Trump knew better.
Now Trump is claiming (for the 38th time) the war is over and a deal is imminent. The deal announced by Trump a few days ago is vague and has no concrete terms other than a “commitment by Iran’s government to re-open the Strait of Hormuz”. In turn, the U.S. agrees to a ceasefire and a 60-day period of negotiations over the future of Iran’s nuclear program commences.
Speaking to CBS news about the newest deal, Hegseth said that the administration was “open to the IAEA running future inspections” but disagreed with Trump as to whether the US or another group would directly be in charge of removing and eradicating Iran’s existing supply of enriched uranium. It also was confirmed by Hegseth and others that the administration is “open” to lifting economic sanctions and unfreezing Iranian funds in U.S. banking systems if Tehran’s government adheres to whatever terms emerge in the future.
For all this, it pretty much looks like we are right back at the 2015 JCOPA agreement…if that. To Trump, it's "the best deal, the greatest deal ever, and something only I could accomplish:
Trump is a dangerous idiot. Anyone who cannot see that and votes for another MAGA candidate is an effing moron.
It is, paradoxically, both National Apple Strudel day as well as National Cherry Tart day. I can only imagine pastry chefs across the nation squaring off, choosing sides in this battle.
I personally would rather have a tart than a strudel.
In other unrelated news, something we can all agree on, a very Happy Birthday to the man who writes the songs that make the whole world sing. Mr Barry Manilow, many happy returns to you.

Mtierney,

Wondering if the images of green algae on the newly painted blue reflecting pool have reached across the sea.
Thought this meme would go nicely with the image.

Wondering whether this should go in one of the politics threads...
