HOT HOT HOT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The last days of July will go down in the record books.

First of all, it was HOT. (except in Texas) The hottest day ever NASA says:

July 22, 2024, was the hottest day on record, according to a NASA analysis of global daily temperature data. July 21 and 23 of this year also exceeded the previous daily record, set in July 2023. These record-breaking temperatures are part of a long-term warming trend driven by human activities, primarily the emission of greenhouse gases.  

“In a year that has been the hottest on record to date, these past two weeks have been particularly brutal,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “Through our over two dozen Earth-observing satellites and over 60 years of data, NASA is providing critical analyses of how our planet is changing and how local communities can prepare, adapt, and stay safe. We are proud to be part of the Biden-Harris Administration efforts to protect communities from extreme heat.”

In the meantime, the R's act like climate change is religion, not physics.  And that gives others the hall pass to say and think stupidly with impunity.

And it was HOT in the body politic as the upcoming election between a convicted felon and a 81 year old political veteran who was the youngest senator ever as well as the oldest president turned on a dime as Biden announced he would withdraw from the race.  In the blink of an eye, the felon became the old doddering dangerous fool as his opponent transmogrified into a competent prosecutor and campaigner. 

In another blink of an eye just days before, the FPOTUS  missed being assassinated by about an inch in Western Pennsylvania by a 20 year old with an AR 15. At the R national convention, he milked it by wearing an odd square mini-pad on his ear.  Of course, others followed.

But with Harris becoming the new standard bearer,  the  "D" electorate awoke from its slumber to the tune of 200 million dollars in one week, 310 million by the end of the month.

And why not?

As Michael Moore opined today:

So my friends, 100 days from today is November 5th. Election day. 100 days from today. I mean, I have to ask, he’s probably not listening, but does Trump even know what happened this week? It took just five days. This week. It took just five days. 

Nothing like it had ever happened before in American history. And yet by this past Thursday, a mere five days after President Biden’s 1:46 p.m. Sunday afternoon announcement of him ending his reelection campaign and handing the candidacy over to his Vice President, Kamala Harris. Just five days. And that’s all it took for the Wall Street Journal on Thursday — you know the Wall Street Journal, right? No friend to women, People of Color, young voters, the poor, the working class, the Wall Street Journal, this grand oracle of capitalism, conservative ideology, and the force that is Rupert Murdoch. 

That newspaper ran this stunning historic headline. And, I mean, I looked at it and I said, “Wow, this is one for the ages.” Ready for it. This is all it said: “Harris Erases Trump’s Lead, WSJ Poll Finds”. “Harris Erases Trump’s Lead” — Wow. That’s how long it took. Five days.  

Apparently, somewhere along the way, Trump Van Winkle must have fallen into a deep sleep and missed the memo that many white men like him also seem to miss. It read something like this: “America is no longer your America — you, the members of the exclusive club for the gender that’s missing the second X chromosome. 

So what’s the takeaway here? It’s quite simple. Are you ready? I’ll say it slow if you want to write this down: There are more of us than there are of them. We are now the Majority. We, America, are a liberal nation. Doesn’t matter, from abortion to climate, to the economy, to the Millennials who would vote for a Socialist, that’s who we are now. And we’re going to elect the first woman, a black woman, no less, to be the President of the United States.  (this is the point that we knock on wood)

But truly, the polls are just as HOT.  This from Simon at Hopium:

It’s A New, Bluer Election - 8 polls have been released this week showing Vice President Harris leading (all polls via 538): 

• 49%-45% (+4) Civiqs 

• 49%-46% (+3) Leger (was +7 Trump) 

• 48%-46% (+2) FAU (was +5 Trump) 

• 46%-44% (+2) Economist/YouGov (was +3 Trump last week!!!!!!) 

• 45%-43% (+2) Redfield and Wilton

• 50%-48% (+2) American Pulse Research and Polling

• 44%-42% (+2) Angus Reid Global 

• 47%-46% (+1) Morning Consult

And the all-important swing states are just as HOT.

A new Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll had Harris leading the battlegrounds 48-47, and ahead in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, tied in Georgia, and down just 2 North Carolina.

That leaves Pennsylvania, so all eyes are going to be there.  There's more electoral votes there than Arizona and Nevada combined.

Meanwhile, the greatest Olympic production in 100 years in Paris is still on a roll.

And that flying floating caldron of Promethean Fire seems very fitting.

It's good to see the nations playing by the rules.

And then there's Persia and Israel.

Very old enemies with very old ideas.

And they need to cool it,

So they don't ignite.
