Just spoke with father-in-law on the farm near Windsor in Canada, 40 mins from the US border.

At the supermarket his oranges are now from South Africa, and his grapefruit are from Australia.

Let that sink in.

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

Watch the seismic waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia sweep beneath seismic stations in North America.

By the time the waves reached North America, they are far too small to be felt by people, but can still be detected by seismic instruments. 🧪

When you see a Skew-T diagram that looks like this, it means there's going to be a tremendous amount of rain. The left line is the dewpoint and the right is air temp. When they're that close together all the way through the column... it means the atmosphere has an extreme amount of moisture content.
