This excess energy formed a vortex (polar vortex) in the stratosphere above the Arctic, channeling frigid air into Texas.
　It's precisely because of warming that it gets colder. The argument that “winters are cold, so global warming doesn't exist” doesn't hold water.

Run, run, run away. Abandon your duties as a congressman, abandon your Republican Party position, abandon everything and just run. Run to the very bottom of hell's cauldron. Your master Trump will be joining you there soon enough.

Epps, let me teach you, a flatterer, sycophant, and slave-minded fool, a famous Eastern proverb. From the Book of Southern Qi, Biography of Wang Jingze: “Jingze said, ‘Among the Thirty-Six Stratagems of Lord Tan, flight is the best course.’”

Van Epps (the Republican candidate who won this election) offered a different perspective. “If you run away from Trump, you lose. If you run with Trump, you win,” he said.

"But it continues a trend seen in other races nationwide that suggests Democrats will enter 2026 in a favorable environment to win back control of the chamber as voters remain concerned over the cost of living."

Those opportunists are also scattered, so if Trump disappears, the Republican Party will come to an end.
This is how the Republican Party ends.
This is how the Republican Party ends.
This is how the Republican Party ends.
Not with a bang but a whimper.
(Homage to T.S. Elliott's “The Hollow Men”)

And short videos? They're too brief to even introduce anything, let alone explain it. Wake up to the fact you're wasting your life trusting media that lies to rack up views. Don't be happy about being deceived. Separate entertainment from what's serious.

But whether it's the internet, social media, YouTube, or TikTok—no matter how stimulating—it's still just entertainment at best, not worth believing without evidence (come to think of it, “evidence-less” was a buzzword back in high school too).

About president job approval, are Republicans desperate? Are they being stubborn? Or just not ready to break free from the Trump cult?

Add a stock market crash to this, and an additional 10% drop could bring his approval rating down to 10%—and it must.

Trump's approval rating will likely decline in a semi-proportional manner: a 10% drop within 10 months of taking office, another near 10% drop by next year's midterm elections, and a further 10% drop by the 2028 presidential election.

There's no reason Trump's tariffs and anti-immigration policies, which destroy the economy, would leave the middle class or the wealthy unscathed. This is especially true in economically fragile regions like the South, where collapse is even more likely.

The weaker segments of the right-wing middle class will likely collapse first. After all, both the middle class and the wealthy are economic strata that thrive only when the overall economy is robust.

You can't help but realize it. Even the inflation-resistant right-wing middle class and wealthy will eventually be forced to give up if high prices, high drug costs, and healthcare constraints persist.

When food prices, drug costs, and healthcare all skyrocket, you're left with nothing but a slow death. It's like being tortured to death by Trump. With COVID, you catch it and die within a week, so you don't realize Trump killed you. But a slow murder lasting over half a year?

Those who voted for Trump during Biden's era, grasping at straws due to extreme inflation, have now abandoned him because of even worse inflation + tariff-driven price hikes. Even MAGA supporters among the poor are tormented by disillusionment and despair.
