Wednesday Twister Panorama Open Comments

 

It is 2021…

Amateur photographer Laura Rowe was simply out on a Sunday drive around East in the Texas Panhandle with her boyfriend when she happened upon a spectacular scene. What started out as a normal day transformed into something much bigger when Rowe photographed an electrifying image of storm clouds appearing ready to explode thanks to reflected light from the sunset.

Rowe, who is also a college basketball player, said that she and her boyfriend had just left the Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge when they noticed a tornado touch down in the distance. They decided to chase the storm and get a closer look. “I had no idea how beautiful it was going to be up close,” Rowe tells My Modern Met. “We drove down dirt roads, stopping every once in a while to take some pictures. The place that I took that picture was actually our last stop. I thought we were too close, but the storm was moving the other way so we stayed where we were at. My phone was about to die, so I took a couple more pictures as the sun was going down and we started to head home since it was getting dark anyway. I had no idea at the time that photo I took was going to go viral.”

Oh, you posted this before….I know.

    I always had a suspicious vibe about Neil Cavuto from the first time I saw him. For a long time, I couldn’t put my finger on it although he eventually revealed himself. Here’s a quick, short clip from Glenn Back on Bannon’s show about the real Neil Cavuto justifying my long time skepticism about his integrity.

      I can’t stand Neil Cavuto! I never really liked him but during the COVID insanity hydroxychloroquine was given to Veterans as a last ditch effort to fight off COVID and several of them died. Cavauto was fighting mad that Trump he deliberate killed those Veterans but before Fauci declared war on doctors using tried and true methods for treating diseases they used hydroxychloroquine for lots of things.
      I hated him after that. My point is that hydroxychloroquine was often used by doctors for a lot of different treatments besides Malaria since it was very safe and never did any harm but often helped. Cavuto could have researched this instead of following the media herd with anything that Saint Fauci preached.

    $1.6 million is not enough in my opinion. The university spent almost 5 years stalling trying to avoid a trial they knew they couldn’t win. There is no telling what their legal bills were before they were forced to go to trial and into a settlement. It’s too bad this one didn’t make it into a courtroom.

    University of Louisville has agreed to pay almost $1.6 million in damages and attorneys’ fees to settle a six-year-old lawsuit filed by its former chief of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology.

    Dr. Allan Josephson was essentially terminated after he criticized transgender ideology, and filed a lawsuit in April 2019 to fight the decision.

    and,

    Josephson, a psychiatrist, said in a statement Monday that “I’m glad to finally receive vindication for voicing what I know is true.”

    “Children deserve better than life-altering procedures that mutilate their bodies and destroy their ability to lead fulfilling lives,” he said.

    “In spite of the circumstances I suffered through with my university, I’m overwhelmed to see that my case helped lead the way for other medical practitioners to see the universal truth that altering biological sex is impossibly dangerous while acceptance of one’s sex leads to flourishing.”

    Justin Murphy on X nails the whole thing in one paragraph.

    Elon is doing applied political science. He had a hypothesis, and then he bet on it. And in being correct, we are learning empirically: The Professional Managerial Class has perfected a system of moral blackmail through which they convert third world suffering into personal wealth and status. They position themselves as noble humanitarian experts with PhDs who care deeply about things like global poverty, to justify their own sinecures extracted from the national purse. These credentialed do-gooders wield the threat of African deaths as a shield against any questioning of their privileges. We’ve long understood bourgeois professional hypocrisy in theory, but never before have we had such a complete empirical revelation of the exact dollar amounts, networks, and individual names involved across the top of the PMC hierarchy. Professional political scientists are generally feigning horror at Elon right now, but that’s because they are members of the PMC, even if they are only minor and distant dependents on DC.

    The left doesn’t have enough kids to win.

    That’s why they’re so insistent on controlling your kid’s education.

    So maybe…just don’t voluntarily hand over your kids, and we win this whole thing in a generation.

    I learn something new most every day and in yesterday’s Paul Revere topic piece I found out about the Boston Neck, a thin (120′ wide) strip of land that connected the city of Boston to the mainland. Here is a modern map with the old shore lines shown so you can see how much of the marsh they filled in to make Boston what it is today…..Interesting,…..

      Super Dave, this tells you a few things about this guy. He is pretty much the stereotypical RINO. He’s not your average squishy Republican.

      Bacon is a moderate Republican. His district was carried by Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election and Kamala Harris in 2024 presidential election, making it a politically competitive area.

      A member of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, Bacon was an original sponsor of the Naming Commission, which stripped the Department of Defense of names valorizing the Confederacy, and of the Emmett Till Antilynching Act, which established lynching as a unique hate crime, and voted to enact the Respect for Marriage Act, which codified federal recognition of same-sex marriage. He was one of 37 Republicans who rejected attempts to overturn the 2020 election, and one of 35 who supported the committee to investigate the January 6th attack. He has repeatedly sparred with members of the far-right House Freedom Caucus.

    This woman is, I don’t know, perhaps mentally disabled.

    It didn’t matter when Obama or Biden were in office because the bailout money would come.

    Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said Monday the city faces an $800 million deficit, plans to lay off 1,647 staff, is seeking a state bailout and has “identified new revenue.”

    Bass blamed the Trump administration and the economy for falling revenue.

    “Cities like ours are going through challenging economic times across the nation,” said Bass. “Turmoil and uncertainty from Washington and a slowing economy are causing lower revenue projections.”

     

    With 61,455 employees, 1,647 layoffs equate to a workforce reduction of 2.7%. With just over $8.3 billion paid out in payroll last year, the city pays its employees an average of $135,355 per year, or more than double the median citywide salary of $57,247 per year.

    I am at the second dental office today. The first one was for measurements for one of the student’s research project. Easy peasy.

    I drive to the Fannin Street building and as I got it the elevator I can’t face to face with a little kid, about 7 years old, all by himself. I asked where his mother was and he said he was looking for the bathroom.

    The clinic that I’m in has it’s own restroom. I am unaware of a hallway public restroom.

    What responsible parent lets their kid roam strange buildings by himself? I’m not even sure his parent was on this floor.

    Theres a link in the article you referenced pointing here.

    These new regulations empower the state to determine when refineries are allowed to shut down for maintenance and set new inventory storage requirements that would require refineries to build vast new storage tanks to smooth out shortages. 

    and

    A 2024 state report outlined various policy options for increasing gasoline supply. One option presented was for the state of California to “purchase and own refineries in the State to manage the supply and price of gasoline,” ranging “from one refinery to all refineries in the state” in order to “eliminate potential market manipulation.”

    Like that’s ever worked out in other places.

    An amazing new poll out by Yale University Youth Poll. I may not be able to afford breakfast in Texas anymore, but there is this…

    Young voters aged 18 to 21 are leaning more heavily toward the Republican Party than their slightly older peers, according to a new Yale Youth Poll released this week.

    The survey, conducted between April 1 and April 3 among 4,100 registered voters, found that voters aged 18 to 21 favor Republicans by a margin of 11.7 points when asked who they would support in the 2026 congressional elections. In contrast, voters aged 22 to 29 favored Democrats by 6.4 points, revealing a significant split among the youngest generation of voters.

    The findings indicate a notable political shift, as younger voters have historically been a reliable base of support for Democrats. However, the poll suggests that Generation Z, particularly those shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic during their formative years, are developing more right-leaning views on several key cultural and political issues.

    Even though Charlie Kirk has opinions I disagree with he has made amazing headway on college campuses. Also, the 18-21 cohort was in high school during Covid lockdowns and they haven’t forgotten.

    Well, I got ONE crown today. I told Dr. Salam that I said a prayer that today, nothing would go wrong. “I did, too!” she said. Every time something might go a wee bit wrong, like “where is that ….” I’d pipe up with “I said a prayer!” She and whomever was standing there would bust out laughing.

    The crown doesn’t have an opposing chewing surface – that would be the two remaining implants/crowns remaining to be surgically inserted in my upper jaw – but it has helped. I don’t have food hitting the gum there now, and at least that part of eating is more comfortable.

    I go back the third week of May for the #19 and #20 molar crowns. Then more imaging, measuring, and following that, surgery.

    But I’m looking forward to being able to eat more better.

    This morning I had an MRI with contrast on my prostate. This was done because my PSA went from 2.9 to 4.4 in a year. The first part, pre contrast was tolerable, once they pushed the contrast in I could feel it go up my arm, all over my chest, and into my head. It made me nauseous and I almost had to pull the rip cord.
    I don’t much care for contrast. I should be able to get results by Friday. If it is bad, my doc will call me directly; the classic case of no news is good news.

    RE: Shannon @ 4:45 PM

    So, now they are changing CPR protocols AGAIN?

    Pretty frustrating.

    Most of the CPR guidelines are based on a very low-quality body of evidence (retrospective observational studies, simulation-based studies, etc). Although millions of cardiac arrests happen each year globally, high-quality clinical research on resuscitation is very difficult to conduct, due in part to challenges in obtaining consent and randomization.

    Unless otherwise noted, the CPR guidelines referenced here are ILCOR’s weak recommendations based on low-certainty evidence.

    Read this whole thing and it gets complicated and worrisome. The so-called experts never have known for sure what they are doing.

    I was awakened at 1:53am in the throes of a very uncomfortable Afib episode and scary hypertension. Never did go back to sleep.
    That’s not supposed to happen anymore.

    Had a very insignificant episode about nine months ago.

    Thinking I need to go see my arrhythmia guy. Especially if it happens again.

        I had numerous special tests prior to first meeting with him. He did a cardiac catheterization on me, anyway!!!
        The last time I saw him, he said “you’re good – see you in a year”.

      Shannon do not wait to see your “arrhythmia” guy. If you had a strong Afib episode with hypertension and you felt like you might have had galloping horses-size of the Afib. that is bad.

      I’ve just come home from an Afib. event that was not nearly that strong, though I once had an Afib. with galloping horses-size about 3 years ago. So I am very concerned on any strength of Afib. Home again after treatment and feeling normal, that is not feeling anything in the heart rate.

      I was in the Methodist Hospital in Sugar Land. That is a good place.

      Of interest is that the original Methodist Hospital (in the Med Center) was 3rd place in a national list of the 10 best hospitals in the country.
