US records may shatter as excessive heat threatens 130 million


portland, oregon — Roughly 130 million people were under threat Saturday and into next week from a long-running heat wave that already has broken records with dangerously high temperatures — and is expected to shatter more from East Coast to West Coast, forecasters said. 

Oppressive heat and humidity could team up to spike temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (about 38 degrees Celsius) in parts of the Pacific Northwest, the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast, said Jacob Asherman, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. 

In Oregon, records could be broken in cities including Eugene, Portland and Salem, Asherman said. Dozens of other records throughout the U.S. could fall, Asherman added, causing millions to seek relief from the blanket of heat in cooling centers from Bullhead City, Arizona, to Norfolk, Virginia. 

The National Weather Service said Saturday it was extending the excessive heat warning for much of the Southwest into Friday. 

“A dangerous and historic heatwave is just getting started across the area, with temperatures expected to peak during the Sunday-Wednesday timeframe,” the National Weather Service in Las Vegas said in an updated forecast. 

Excessive heat will likely continue through Friday, the service said. 

In sweltering Las Vegas, where the temperature hit 100 F (37.7 C) by 10:30 a.m., Marko Boscovich said the best way to beat the heat is in a seat at a slot machine with a cold beer inside an air-conditioned casino. 

“But you know, after it hits triple digits it’s about all the same to me,” said Boscovich, who was visiting from Sparks, Nevada, to see a Dead & Company concert later Saturday night at the Sphere. “Maybe they’ll play one of my favorites — ‘Cold Rain and Snow.’” 

Heat records being shattered across the southwest 

By 10:30 a.m. Saturday, the National Weather Service said the temperature already had risen to 100 F (36.6 C) in Phoenix, which saw a record high of 118 F (47.7 C) for Friday. 

Meteorologists predict temperatures will be near daily records region-wide through most, if not all, of the coming week with lower desert highs reaching 115 to 120 F (46.1 to 48.8 C). 

Rare heat advisories had been extended even into the upper elevations, including around Lake Tahoe, with the National Weather Service in Reno, Nevada, warning of “major heat risk impacts, even in the mountains.” 

“How hot are we talking? Well, high temperatures across (western Nevada and northeastern California) won’t get below 100 degrees (37.8 C) until next weekend,” the service posted online. “And unfortunately, there won’t be much relief overnight either.” 

A new heat record for the day was set Friday in California’s Death Valley — one of the hottest places on Earth — with the mercury climbing to 127 F (52.8 C). The old mark of 122 F (50 C) was last tied in 2013. 

Palm Springs, California, hit 124 F (51.1 C) Friday, breaking the city’s record of 123 F (50.5 C). 

More extreme highs are in the near forecast, including 129 F (53.8 degrees C) for Sunday at Furnace Creek in Death Valley National Park, and then around 130 (54.4 C) through Wednesday. The hottest temperature ever officially recorded on Earth was 134 degrees (56.67 C) in Death Valley in July 1913, though some experts dispute that measurement and say the real record was 130 F (54.4 C) recorded there in July 2021. 

Worst is yet to come 

The worst was yet to come across much of the West, with triple-digit temperatures likely higher than average into next week, the National Weather Service said.  

The Eastern U.S. also was bracing for more hot temperatures. Baltimore and other parts of Maryland were under an excessive heat warning, as heat index values could climb to 110 F (43 C), forecasters said.

Heat-related deaths mounting 

In Arizona’s Maricopa County, which encompasses Phoenix, there have been at least 13 confirmed heat-related deaths this year, along with more than 160 other suspected heat deaths are still under investigation, according to the county’s most recent report. 

That does not include the death of a 10-year-old boy this week in Phoenix who suffered a “heat-related medical event” while hiking with family at South Mountain Park and Preserve, according to police.

Diaz and Masvidal last fought in November of 2019 at UFC 244 in an iconic match-up that gave way to UFC’s BMF belt. At the time, Masvidal beat Diaz at Madison Square Garden in New York after a cut above Diaz’s eye forced a doctor to call the fight in Round 3. Now, the two will head to the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, for a light heavyweight boxing bout to determine whether Diaz can turn the tables or if Masvidal still has the upper hand.

The viewing options around the world are pretty straightforward. DAZN will live stream the fight in more than 200 countries. As usual, viewers will need to have a subscription to DAZN and pay a pay-per-view (PPV) fee.

Ukraine war briefing: Russian shelling kills three in Kherson region as road crash in west leaves 14 dead


Two bodies recovered from rubble of southern house while collision of oil truck and minibus in western Rivne region leaves single survivor. What we know on day 865

Russian shelling killed three civilians in Ukraine’s southern region of Kherson on Saturday, officials said. Two bodies were recovered from the rubble of a house that came under fire in the morning in a village near Beryslav, north of Kherson town, prosecutors said. An artillery strike in the evening killed one person in a village south of the town, said the region’s governor, Oleksander Prokudin.

Russian night-time strikes left more than 100,000 households without power in northern Ukraine and cut off the water supply to a regional capital, Ukrainian authorities said on Saturday. The northern Sumy region, which borders Russia, was plunged into darkness after Russian strikes late on Friday damaged energy infrastructure, the Ukrainian energy ministry said. Hours later, the Ukrainian public broadcaster reported that Russian drones hit the provincial capital, also called Sumy, cutting off water by hitting power lines that feed its system of pumps. Russian state news agency RIA cited a local pro-Kremlin “underground” leader as saying Moscow’s forces hit a plant producing rocket ammunition in the city. The claim could not be independently verified.

Fire broke out at a gas pipeline in Crimea, Russian-installed officials said on Sunday, blaming an accident and stating there were no casualties. Videos online showed a large fire, said to have followed one or more explosions in the Alushta district.

Russian air defence units downed seven Ukrainian drones each in the southern Belgorod and Kursk regions on the Ukrainian border on Saturday, officials and the military said. Russia’s defence ministry said seven drones were intercepted over the Belgorod region, which is subjected to nearly daily Ukrainian attacks. Alexei Smirnov, the governor of Kursk region, farther north and west, also reported seven drones had been downed over his region. He said Ukrainian forces had shelled about 10 villages across the day.

Ukraine’s air force commander said his forces had duped Russian troops into deploying missiles against sophisticated models put in place to look like military targets. Mykola Oleshchuk said on Telegram that the models depicted fighter aircraft and a surface-to-air missile battery. They were put in place at an airfield near the central city of Kriviy Rih and a district of the Black Sea port of Odesa. A video attached to Saturday’s post, described as footage from a Russian reconnaissance drone, showed what Oleshchuk said were Russian Iskander missiles attacking the depictions. “Air force personnel conducted passive defence measures!” he wrote.

In Ukraine’s eastern frontline region of Donetsk, Russian shelling killed 11 civilians and wounded 43 on Friday and overnight to Saturday, said the regional governor, Vadym Filashkin. Five people died in the town of Selydove, south-east of Pokrovsk, the eastern city that has emerged as a frontline hotspot. The Ukrainian general staff said on Saturday morning that Ukrainian and Russian forces clashed 45 times near Pokrovsk over the previous day. Hours later, the Russian ministry of defence said its troops had captured a village about 30km (19 miles) east of the city.

An oil truck collided with a minibus in western Ukraine on Saturday, killing 14 people, including a six-year-old child, and leaving a single survivor, emergency services said. The report on Telegram was accompanied by pictures of an overturned vehicle in a cornfield in the Rivne region. It said the survivor was in serious condition and being treated for her injuries.

Japan has announced a joint project with Cambodia to share knowledge and technology on landmine removal with countries worldwide including Ukraine. Under the Japan Cambodia landmine initiative, “Japan will provide full-scale assistance to humanitarian mine action in Ukraine”, Japan’s foreign minister, Yoko Kamikawa, said in Phnom Penh. “Next week, we will provide Ukraine with a large de-mining machine, and next month, here in Cambodia, we will train Ukrainian personnel on how to operate the machine.”

The road ahead is paved with bad intentions. Readers, this article is a warning. It’s a warning not to fall the rabbit hole of bull-crap the media is trying to push you into. First things first: President Biden is staying in the race. He isn’t going anywhere. He had a great meeting with several Governors the other day. He told them in no uncertain terms he was staying in the race.They are supporting him.

Biden is doing a sit-down interview that will air on Friday evening. But the media has not stopped. They will eventually. I’d like to show you the road ahead as far as the media is concerned. Because the road that stretches ahead for THEM is quite a different road than for US.

The media wants drama. It wants chaos. They have revealed themselves this week, yes? First, the media carnivores will not stop until they have another new, shiny story to tear apart. Now, think of what the media is pushing. Most of them are calling for VP Harris to take over. You do not possibly believe that they are doing this out of kindness.

Oh no. Here is the road the media WANTS to travel. Joe leaves the race. VP Harris is the nominee. Then – then — the media purpose becomes clear. The media- the NY Times and CNN- will start to go after Harris. They will go after her with the EXACT SAME FEROCITY they are going after Biden.

The truth is all of this — the media spin is not even about Biden. Not really.

It’s all about sowing discord. Biden to the media is a chess piece—nothing more, nothing less.

With him gone, they could then turn their gleaming predatory eyes on Harris. And they WOULD. To ANYONE who doubts my theory, merely think back — think back to what they did to Hillary Clinton. And John Fetterman.

The media, the pundits, are a group of playground bullies, giggling, quibbling, smug in their intentions to knock people down, deliriously snooty to any push-back; they are the escaped prisoners, free from their chains where they had to act like they gave a damn, running down the halls looking for exit signs, shedding their uniforms of professionalism, gleefully looking to commit their next journalistic crime.


. . .



They are a bunch of simpering, cruel, callus fools. They are desperate to take us in hand and lead us into chaos. Let’s not let them win. Let’s choose the OTHER road of just saying no to the media.
