In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Whenever the possibility presents, throw sand into the machinery…

“It’s time to put Reagan’s 11th commandment in the shredder”
Laura Loomer at Mike Lindell’s two day ‘Election Crime Bureau’ summit yesterday.
One inkling from my 30 thousand feet perspective, yesterday, is that I was watching a third party or shadow independent party budding within a dying GOP.
Citizen Representative’s from all 50 States gave reports on the progress each of their groups are making toward taking back the free and fair election process, a process that has gradually been subsumed and in many states hardened by institutionalized systemic election fraud.
These groups of patriots are working tirelessly to end that. Progress has been slow, but hopeful.
Of the 50 States, my favorite presentation follows:
https://rumble.com/v38bgor-nyca-director-marly-hornik-on-mike-lindell-election-summit-the-plan-reveale.html
Today at 1:00PM CT a national plan of action will be revealed.
I wrote to President Trump and said he should go to very Republican state who is not cleaning up their election. Name the names of the people standing in the way and ask the people not to vote for them. If they are willing to help Democrats, let the Democrat have their seat.
One thing that stood out to me, and I can’t recall which State representative was saying it, but they are engaging in active CANDIDATE Recruiting and training.
THIS is a VITAL function for any political party as, while we all followed the story of “”the guy that won, spending $700 on his campaign” the reality is most candidates need training, as well as campaign staffing.
He gave #’s, and something like 17 who attended the classes, decided NOT to run, after realising what was involved, and out of 27 recruits, 4 ended up in State offices.
This IS a VITAL function that the AmericaFirst party MUST actively engage in, whether WE take over the R party and kick out the RINOS, OR have a final, difinitive split.
And the other is VOTER recruitment and education, JUST as vital, and again “either way”.
Bingo.

Big News! Mike Pence said, “ I met with the Parliamentarian of the Senate, Elizabeth MacDonough, to discuss the procedures for the upcoming joint session on January 6. She told me that Congress always receives miscellaneous slates of electors every four years.” Greg Kelly, “That’s huge! A game changer in terms of information. It really turns upside down everything the Democrats said about January 6th, and this latest Federal Indictment.” DROP THE FAKE CASE!

FoxNews is going all out, just as they did in 2016, to figure who in this very large, but failing, Republican field, can beat your favorite President, Donald John Trump. They use only the most negative polls, which are still great for me, and do everything possible to show that they still have a chance. They even pull out nice guy Marc Thiessen to do contortions with numbers that just don’t exist. On top of all that, I am the only one beating, by a lot, Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST “P” EVER!

They make him look like a broccoli head.
Biden “celebrating the anniversary of the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that was sold as reducing inflation but was truly a huge climate change bill.
Biden’s public schedule, describe this as “a key part of Bidenomics that is Investing in America, reducing costs for hardworking families, making the tax code fairer, and the biggest investment in climate action in history.”
Pelosi and Schumer were there ” We’re not only celebrating the IRA, we’re backing Ukraine.”
The gall! More money!
Right in the face of suffering Americans!
Biden got disturbingly weird enticing kids with ice cream.
Horrific is that the people there laughed! That’s the kind of approach parents usually warn their kids about.
“Not All There” Joe is ALWAYS working the children using “ice cream” to get their attention.
Like in the days of old, parents need to remind their children to never take candy (or ice cream) from a stranger.
He’s a disgusting pedophile!

Repeat by special request:
Battered Conservatives No More – By Sundance
1. We admit we were unaware of our Republican abusers – Our elections have become manipulated.
2. We accept that only a power greater than ourselves can restore our republic.
3. We make a decision to focus our effort and our life to the care of a loving God.
4. We have made a searching and fearless inventory of our prior beliefs.
5. We have admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human, being flawed in our political belief.
6. We are entirely ready to have God free us from defects of character, break our victim mindset and strengthen our
resolve.
7. We humbly asked Him to remove our false assumptions.
8. We have made a list of all political abusers, and we commit to holding them all accountable.
9. We accept the need to confront the republican abusers, if even when doing so hurts their feelings.
10. We continue to take personal inventory and if we accept victimization again, we promptly admit it.
11. We seek through prayer and deliberation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for righteous knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had an emotional, intellectual and spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we pledge to carry this message to others who are abused, and to practice these principles of awakening in all our political affairs.
Yessir.
Maquis, May God bless you abundantly.
As soon as I saw this from you last night, I was going to respond but it was late and I needed to sleep on it. Thank you for your insights. I had been mulling over the following, with a clearer insight into “yet again, I fall. Why?” This seems to be the key you speak about “to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for righteous knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out”, to “seek through prayer and deliberation”
Thought you may appreciate how a rigorous deeper self-examination help us to reveal how cowardly and weak we actually are. It is NOT an accusation.
Only God’s great enemy, and therefore; the enemy of Christians as well, is our accuser. This morning came another revelation, dimly understood before.
Praise God! To Him Be the Glory! AMEN!
(See second text) “Do not enter into .. ”
THE solution? We cannot afford to wait AT ALL thinking we will not engage with the Tempter.
Put it all away at every ‘NOW’ it happens.
The (attitude) of “wanting and not wanting” (as long as we don’t put the occasion firmly aside)
Aug. 16, 2023
Wanting, without really wanting: that is your attitude as long as you don’t put the occasion firmly aside. Don’t try to fool yourself telling me you are weak. You are… a coward, which is not the same thing. (The Way, 714)The world, the flesh and the devil are a band of adventurers who take advantage of the weakness of that savage you bear within you, and want you to hand over to them, in exchange for the glittering tinsel of a pleasure–which is worth nothing,–the pure gold and the pearls and the diamonds and rubies drenched in the life- blood of your God Redeemer, which are the price and the treasure of your eternity. (The Way, 708)
Another fall, and what a fall! Must you give up hope? No. Humble yourself and, through Mary, your Mother, have recourse to the merciful Love of Jesus. A miserere, and lift up your heart! And now begin again. (The Way, 711)
How low you have fallen this time! Begin the foundations from down there. Be humble. Cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies, God will not despise a contrite and humble heart. (The Way, 712)
You have not set yourself against God. Your falls are due to weakness. All right; but those weaknesses are so frequent–you aren’t able to avoid them–that, if you don’t want me to think you bad, I shall have to think you both bad and stupid. (The Way, 713)
Aug. 17, 2023
“Do not enter into dialogue with temptation”
You wade into temptations, you put yourself in danger, you fool around with your sight and with your imagination, you chat about … stupidities. And then you are anxious that doubts, scruples, confusion, sadness and discouragement might assail you. You must admit that you are not very consistent. (Furrow, 132)We have to instill in our souls a true horror for sin. Lord – say it with a contrite heart – may I never offend you again! But don’t be frightened when you become aware of the burden of your poor body and of human passions: it would be silly and childishly naive to find out now that “this” exists. Your wretchedness is not an obstacle but a spur for you to become more united to God and seek him constantly, because He purifies us. (Furrow, 134)
Do not enter into dialogue with temptation. Allow me to repeat it: have the courage to run away and the moral strength not to dally with your weakness or wonder how far you can go. Break off, with no concessions. (Furrow, 137)
You have no excuse whatsoever. You have only yourself to blame. If you are aware – and you know it well enough – that going along that path, reading those things, keeping that company, can bring you to a precipice, why do you persist in thinking that perhaps it is a short cut which will help you develop or which makes your personality more matured? You must change your plan radically, even though it demands an effort and means fewer amusements at your disposal. It is high time you behaved as a responsible person. (Furrow, 138)
This was prepared by Sundance, I am simply reposting it at the request of a fellow Treeper that understands the power of it, as you clearly do, much appreciated.
You are one of all, who; by Grace, piety and obedience blessed to be inherit the only bloodline that covers all our human failings and inadequacies that enpowers not just self but others out of pure love. call it duty, service, work or prayer.
Really do cherish everything you do here. Much have I learnt.
God bless you
That is so kind to say, thank you, and of course, God Bless you.

“Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time. They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears.”
“Not All There” Joe has learned a lot studying at the feet of the Corrupt Clinton-Obama political crime machine.
.
Perhaps Newtie could stop pretending that Joe Biden is doing any of this instead of spending his time sleeping late, getting his diapers changed, sitting on the beach, eating his mashed food and ice creams.
By my calculations his full “work days” include around 3-4 hours (at best) posing for pics, grinning stupidly, and badly reading a teleprompter or his note cards.
..
Biden learned nothing that he hadn’t been doing for 50 years. Since Biden’s nomination, however, he has been an avatar under the complete control of Obama and Obama’s acolytes.
And yes: they will destroy the country rather than give up power: break any law, lie about any topic, and resort to any method to protect their corrupt and totalitarian regime.
Glenn Beck’s podcasts
This has been going on for YEARS (ever since “Not All There” Joe took office). Alex Jones sent reporters to film this very same scene at Catholic Charities in McAllen, TX over a year ago – the Illegal Aliens flowing into America through the pipeline, aided and abetted by the U.S. Government.
I’ve lost all respect for the Catholic Church and Catholic charities. They take money from our govt. to promote and facilitate this invasion under the guise of compassion. It is a money maker for them at a time when funds for the Church are limited by the lawsuits and scandals within. I would not give a dime to them anymore.
A brotherhood of pedophiles
They need to arrest the people at Catholic Charities for human trafficking.
Add the Lutheran Refugee and American Baptist in the indictment, make it a RICO case.
American Baptist convention V Thornburg was the case that radicle changed the adjudication of Asylum cases. The old immigration service was forced to create N asylum corps which was staffed with radical leftists, peace corp, state dept types.
Which leads us to our current planned crisis.
Biden Organized Crime Family
Remember everything the Left since 2015 has accused Pres. Trump and his family. There was no evidence to any of their claims.
For Brandon we have Videos of him congradulating himself for firing a Ukrainian Procescuter, we have video of him touching inappropriately young children. We have Hunter and his daughter’s Diary.
Stick a sock in it, Kevin.
Agree: Talk Talk Talk. Never Action Action Action. After all, to force the evil ones in the US Senate to find Biden, Wray, Garland, and Mayorkas not guilty of crimes against the state might embarrass establishment Republicans and Democrats. But wait! To feel embarrassed, one must have a sense of shame! Never fear: they have no shame. And also: those same Senators privately reason that, after all, they have committed crimes against the state equally damaging, and those who live in glass houses should not throw stones—except when it serves their interests to do so!
Kevin has known the truth for decades, and so have his friends on both sides of the aisle!
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR – NEWS RELEASE – RECAP OF GOVERNOR GREEN AT THE U.N. PRESENTING HAWAIʻI SUSTAINABILITY UPDATE
Posted on Jul 12, 2023 in
https://governor.hawaii.gov/newsroom/office-of-the-governor-news-release-recap-of-governor-green-at-the-u-n-presenting-hawaiʻi-sustainability-update/
HONOLULU, HI – Hawaiʻi’s second Voluntary Local Review (VLR), presented by Governor Josh Green, M.D., to the United Nations (UN) during the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development July 12, presents a good news/bad news scenario. The review highlights progress on achieving the six Aloha+ Challenge goals, which are the state’s local implementation of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and clearly defines what is lacking. Hawaiʻi stands as the sole state in the United States to have submitted a VLR, with the report being prepared by Hawaiʻi Green Growth with input from local partners.
As the world reels with new undeniable impacts of climate change, it lends another level of urgency that Hawaiʻi youth express in the VLR: “We cannot put off changing things any longer. We refuse to stand idle when 2030 looms closer and closer…We only have one Island Earth, let us do our best to take care of it and each other. We are one species, with one planet, one chance.”
Hawaiʻi’s status on its goals can be seen on the Aloha+ Dashboard for predictive planning. The state is on track to meet its 2030 targets on renewable energy and energy efficiency, but not for clean transportation with its goal of reducing petroleum usage to 165 million gallons per year. The most recent data show that 472 gallons per year were used.
The goal to double food production by 2030, first introduced by the 2050 Sustainability Plan in 2008, is not on track. Production of most crops has not increased at a pace to reach the goal, but there was a 4% increase in the number of farms from 2012 to 2017. Progress, however, is difficult to measure because of a lack of funding for agricultural statisticians.
The progress on the health, nutrition and access goal was hindered by the pandemic when food insecurity increased from 11.2% to 16.8% between 2018 and 2020.
Existing conservation commitments and the Sustainable Hawaiʻi Initiative informed the natural resource management goal of effectively managing 30 percent of Hawaiʻi’s nearshore waters by 2030.
Watershed Projection (20.5% of the 30% target reached) and invasive species control (68% of 147 recommended actions ongoing, initiated, or complete) are both on track while freshwater security, marine management and protection of native species need work.

A Voluntary Local Review . . . as opposed to a Mandatory Local Review?
The only one of the 50 states of the USA to do so . . . the Governor “complies” with subverting the interests of the citizens of his state?
Seeing Hawaii’s governor, Josh Green, since the Maui fires started last week, not a very impressive guy . . . they can’t even get the Internet going over there on Maui, in spite of Verizon putting up a tower. A Department of Homeland Security person had to ask to log on to the Internet through the use of a Starlink set up by a community volunteer, Eric West (who by profession is a local – and reputable – realtor there, we have enjoyed his videos, going around on his one-wheel, extolling the beauty of Maui and my Mom especially enjoyed that, having been there when she and my stepdad went to Hawaii various times).

This dude is a lunatic. When your island is on fire, you need water to put the fire out.
… and the geniuses at Maui Civil Defense say they didn’t sound the emergency sirens for the Lahaina fire because the sirens are meant for tsunamis and they didn’t want people to rush inland (mauka – towards the mountains) to flee a tsunami because they’d run right into the fire. And besides, the residents were all inside with the air conditioning on and wouldn’t have heard the sirens anyway.
To quote Angry White Dude: “I crap you negative”
Maui emergency official defends decision not to sound sirens; Confirmed deaths now at 111
Hawaii isn’t exactly known for efficient civil servants.

8 Democrats Who Have Declared States of Emergency Over Border Crisis
Most elected Democrats across the country have either been silent about or openly promoted the Biden administration’s border policies. But once the effects of those policies were felt at home, putting thousands of illegal aliens in their own backyards, several Democrats have acknowledged there is a problem.
Democratic leaders in Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Texas, and Washington, D.C., have declared states of emergency in response to the border crisis that occurred after President Joe Biden took office.

An Assange Plea Deal? For What Crime? Notes From The Edge.
CAITLIN JOHNSTONE
AUG 15, 2023
Whenever I talk about the need to dismantle government secrecy I always get some know-it-all empire simp going “Without secrecy we wouldn’t be able to wage wars and coordinate against our enemies and have nukes, you idiot.”
And it’s like, uh, yeah. That’s kind of my point. They only use secrecy to do evil things and act against the interests of normal human beings.
The lie is that the government uses secrecy in order to counter its enemies and win wars, when in reality the government uses secrecy to make enemies and start wars.
Julian Assange said “The overwhelming majority of information is classified to protect political security, not national security.” It doesn’t exist for our benefit, it exists for theirs. It’s so our rulers can keep doing depraved things with no accountability. That’s why they keep expanding government secrecy and increasing the punishment of those who breach it: because they want to do more depraved things and remain unaccountable.
It really is nuts how there’s now talk of Julian Assange being offered a “plea bargain” for rightly exposing US war crimes. What’s he meant to plead guilty to? Good journalism?
https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/an-assange-plea-deal-for-what-crime?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=82124&post_id=136101620&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email
“The overwhelming majority of information is classified to protect political security, not national security.” It doesn’t exist for our benefit, it exists for theirs.”
Exactly, and it worked. Durham said that he uncovered many crimes in the Russian Collusion Dossier hoax but he couldn’t prosecute anyone because all the evidence was CLASSIFIED! LOL

On Hearing President Trump In Person — And Not Hating It
And on Analyzing My Own Indoctrination
Today is a new low for an America that is being dragged through every humiliation, in its re-christening as a thoroughgoing Banana Republic.
What this is about is not criminality but about the timing of a targeting that demonstrates the subversion of our democracy. The opposition leader, fewer than five months before the Iowa caucuses, is drained of the time, focus and resources to make his case to the American public. He must worry about trying to stay out of jail, even as precious dates are cancelled from the campaign calendar. This is exactly what happens in banana republics. The opposition leader is imprisoned or indicted under inflated charges while he or she is on the campaign trail.
Whatever becomes of this indictment, no future opposition leader will dare to challenge a contested election, as I noted earlier. With the indictment on August 14 2023 of many of President Trump’s colleagues as well (also as in the 1930s and 1950s in the Soviet Union and in China), a precedent has been established that non-legacy, that is, non-”anointed” candidates, will not be able to find help for their campaigns, as speechwriters, lawyers, fundraisers and campaign staffers will fear future lawfare.

Another snippet:
He was a bully. But I saw, I’ll confess, as he spoke, that he had been our bully — menacing, intimidating and threatening others on the world stage, with financial or military carrots and sticks, on behalf of what he saw as the wellbeing of the United States of America, and her inhabitants.
As I listened, I realized that I missed having someone in that role on the world stage.
You can dislike such a figure personally. But when I reflected on where we were now — with more accommodating and “gentlemanly” figures, such as Anthony Blinken (whom I knew in the Clinton era — “one of us”) trotting, hat in hand, head bowed, to supplicate at the feet of tyrants around the world, who all enjoy abusing the United States in their pronouncements; now, with our prestige, power and global reputation in tatters, endangering us all existentially — I felt a certain nostalgia for a President who — okay, I’ll say it: Put America First.

Ukraine Commits Last Elite Brigade to Offensive
SIMPLICIUS THE THINKER
AUG 16, 2023
Yesterday we had the first full confirmation that the last and most serious Ukrainian brigade, meant for the big offensive, has finally been committed to battle. As you know, from the Pentagon leaks we’ve had the full ORBATS of the 9 brigades of the so-called 9th Corps. All but the 82nd had already been committed and most were decimated.
The 82nd Air Assault brigade is an elite force which was entrusted with the British Challenger 2 tanks, American Stryker AFVs, and even German Marder IFVs. In fact, they were even rounded out with the British M119 light howitzer which makes them the only brigade out of the entire offensive supergroup to be armed entirely with modern Western/NATO arms and not a single legacy Soviet system.
Here’s the photo from somewhere on the front, showing a British Challenger 2 fully loaded with anti-cumulative cages and drone nets, clearly desperate to avoid the dreaded Lancet strike:
As well as a video of another, without the extra accoutrements:
Meanwhile, two Strykers have now been confirmed already destroyed. One by Lancet here:
And another:
And now a photo has appeared of a destroyed Marder as well, giving us full confirmation of the brigade’s presence.
Keep in mind none of these vehicles have been spotted on the front at all previously. This gives us confirmation that Ukraine has gone “all in” and is using the final tranche of its reserves to make an urgent push before time runs out.
On June 22, Forbes assessed that the 82nd, and the 117th Mechanized Brigade where being held in reserve waiting for a significant breach in Russian lines to allow them to storm Melitopol.
The Forbes article says the deployment of the brigade is both “good and bad” news. Good because it’s a fresh brigade, bad because they have nothing left after it:
The deployment is good and bad news for Kyiv’s long-anticipated counteroffensive, which kicked off with a series of coordinated assaults across southern and eastern Ukraine starting on June 4.
The 82nd Brigade and its sister air-assault unit, the 46th Brigade, were some of the last major units that the Ukrainian general staff was holding in reserve. In finally sending those formations into battle, the Ukrainians could significantly boost their firepower along one of the main axes of the counteroffensive—the one stretching 50 miles from Russian-occupied Robotyne to occupied Melitopol, just north of the Black Sea coast.
But no brigade can fight forever. When the 46th and 82nd Brigades pull back for rest, reset and repairs, there might not be any equally powerful fresh brigades to fill in for them. The counteroffensive could lose momentum.
As per the above, Rybar foresees another major push being made soon:
Judging by the movements of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the offensive on the Vremyevsky sector will resume soon. And this time there may be several directions of impact. Assault groups of 128 obr TRO arrived in Staromayorskoye together with ATGMs and machine guns. Also, units of the 1st otbr, including large-caliber mortars, were moved to Urozhayne, and formations of the 31st mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine appeared on the Priyutne site.
Given the above, the enemy’s offensive should be expected in at least three directions at once: Priyutnoye, Staromlinovka and Novodonetskoye (the AFU gunners increased the intensity of fire with cluster shells along the line).

There have been a bunch of articles recently about how badly the war is going for Ukraine (“NATO management says Ukraine will have to give up territory as a prerequisite to join NATO”, “Germany NOT doing their fair share to arm and equip Ukraine”, even Zelensky complaining that Ukrainians are not taking the war seriously enough).
Looks like we are being prepared for the inevitable failure of the “counteroffensive”, a stalemate with Russia and a “give up territory for peace” settlement.
Isn’t 350,000 dead Ukrainian soldiers serious enough for Zelensky???
IT LOOKS LIKE NOT ENOUGH……
No its not. He wants dead American (soldiers).
He wants whatever he’s told to want.
Exactly. When he made the remarks about our sons and daughters having to fight if we did not support Ukraine’s fight, he was just passing along what would be fact if his country was allowed to join NATO. He was led to believe Europe thought it was important that Ukraine be in NATO.
It is obviously not enough for NATO. Perhaps on the next offensive, the leaders pushing this can be at the head of the army.
..and it will on term of Russians not EU/NATO/BIDEN….
I read yesterday that they had started with 200k regular troops. And lost 130k. Who is ding their fighting? They cannot last much longer with only 70k active troops of their own.

Two Democrats voted with GOP to appoint Bush electors by resolution in 2000. Jeb Bush applauded them as did the entire Republican party and pundits. Nobody was prosecuted nor could have been. Two competing slates were contemplated. No conspiracy then…

Bill Mitchell goes full NeverTrump, calls for DeSantis supporters to NOT vote for Trump in the general
“Keep Biden in check for 4 more years…” The most asinine statement I’ve read in a long while.
Yes! Most precisely!
He thinks voting works, but Trump is the problem. I don’t know how someone in his position is that clueless.
Boy, the few DeSanctus supporters left, imagine that they are the most powerful people.

‘We Are Coming to Kill You’: Woman Charged in Threat to Judge Chutka
8/16/23 at 8:00 PM
…
During the call, investigators said, Shry “threatened to kill anyone who went after former President Trump.” She also specifically threatened to kill Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat representing Texas’ 18th Congressional District, as well as “all Democrats in Washington, D.C., and all people of the LGBTQ community,” read the filing from Friday.
“The caller further stated, ‘You are in our sights, we want to kill you,’ and ‘We want to kill Sheila Jackson Lee,'” the filing continued, which was signed by DHS Special Agent Joshua Henry.
“If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you, so tread lightly, b****,” the call continued. Shry also reportedly told Chutkan, “You will be targeted personally, publicly, your family, all of it.”

Why didn’t the FBI just go in with a SWAT team and execute her, leaving her to blead out on the street?
They could have used that Nigerian Capitol Police Assassin. He hasn’t murdered any more women lately that I know of, anyway!
Maui Wildfires Blamed on Climate Change, but Government Was the Real Problem

This vid is a decent summary of all of it, save for a gentle allusion in a couple places to climate change (warmer waters the ostensible reason for the bad hurricane.)
.
Are the “waters warmer”?
Hawaii has several hurricanes / typhoons pass by EVERY year, on the order of 5-8 or so
Sometimes they hit the islands, most times they pass by to the south, as is the current pattern this year
Right now is hurricane season in the North Pacific, just like in the North Atlantic
Runs about June thru November
This year doesn’t look at all out of the ordinary, to any glaring extent
The hurricane that passed 500 miles south of the Hawaiian Islands was not even a particularly strong hurricane
What was strong was the high-pressure system over the islands at the time and the convergence of winds between the high and the hurricane to the south
This is tradewind season, in which strong high-pressure systems dominate the north-central Pacific Ocean and drive strong easterly trade winds.
It’s quite normal, as are passing hurricanes to the south, happens every year
Speaking of which, where ARE the hurricanes in the Atlantic? Climate change lovers say we will get more and harsher ones every year until we do something to cut our carbon emissions or something equally as dumb. Quiet year so far for the hurricane season.
I don’t really keep track of those
