Why isn’t Michigan in drought since it hasn’t rained in forever? - By Mark Torregrossa | mtorregr@mlive.com

"...First, we should figure out what a drought actually is. 

• Drought is an imbalance of water supply to water demand. When the supply of moisture is much less than the demand for water, a drought can develop. 

There are several levels of drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. 

• The first level is called meteorological drought. This is simply when rainfall is lacking. 
• Next is an agricultural drought, then a hydrological drought. Hydrological drought means the water table is going down and affecting water wells. 
• Next comes what Heim called a socioeconomic drought, which is when cities restrict water usage.

Heim points out that ranking an area in some level of drought takes a lot of objective factors and then become a subjective task...

Britain’s green energy disaster should be an awful warning to Americans

"Last year, the Biden administration set an ambitious new goal for the USA: to deploy 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind capacity by the year 2030, increasing US offshore capacity more than seven hundred times over. 

The UK already has 15 GW of offshore wind, more than 300 times as much as the USA: and our experience should be a terrible warning to Americans.
The UK’s electricity prices are the highest since records began in 1920 and are now amongst the highest in all Europe...

CCP Invasion? Border Patrol Catches 13K Chinese Migrants, Numbers Climbing

"Is the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) invading the U.S.? 

• The number of Chinese migrants entering the U.S. this fiscal year has increased more than 1000%, with a significant number of them being military-age males.

More than one expert has suggested this could be a military invasion of the CCP, with CCP plants exploiting the border crisis to enter the United States. 

With the CCP becoming increasingly aggressive and hostile toward the U.S., the Biden administration should be increasing national security, not facilitating the border crisis...

White House mandating face masks, social distancing for unvaccinated 'College Athlete Day' guests | Fox News: 

The White House email calling for the unvaccinated to socially distance also comes as more researchers are skeptical of the idea that the COVID vaccine mandates limited transmission of the virus. A recent study from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University concluded that COVID vaccine mandates in nine major cities didn't appear to make a difference in terms of curbing cases deaths from the pandemic. The study came after last year, a director of the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer admitted at a hearing before the European Parliament that, at the time of its introduction, the COVID vaccine had never been tested for stopping transmission of the virus, according to a video of the exchange posted by parliamentarian Rob Roos.

"As wildfires burn across the country, the Trudeau government is once again jumping at the opportunity to use a tragedy to advance their political agenda.

Despite the fact that provincial governments have not concluded why these wildfires were started, the federal government along with the activist legacy media already know the culprit – it’s the invisible gods of climate change, of course.

The reality is climate change has nothing to do with it...

• Joe Biden’s Department of Justice is as corrupt as Hunter Biden’s laptop. 
• Few people of either party trust it, nor should they.

"There is a reason that, since before the time of the emperor Tiberius, treason trials have been a favorite tool of totalitarians. 

Such proceedings allow them to get rid of nearly anyone they dislike. 

Successfully brand someone a “traitor,” an “enemy of the state,” and, bang, into the oubliette they go.

Forest fires and n95 masking - VINAY PRASAD

• Masking without evidence is an untreated mental illness plaguing public health

"Recently forest fires descended upon the east coast. 

The governor of New York ordered n95 masks to be passed out for free at subways and other locations (no doubt in part motivated by her desire to unload masks the state over purchased) and the NY health authority recommended them...
Consider n95 masking for forest fires. 

The data is of piss poor quality. 

Sure, in contrived laboratory studies it filters some smoke, but that isn't the question.
