Sea level data shows signs that an El Niño will likely emerge later this year. The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite, which measures the height of the entire ocean every 10 days, has detected higher, warmer water moving east across the Pacific Ocean. go.nasa.gov/4fLfjtO

2026 and 1997 are El Niño twins. But they didn't always look alike. Subsurface ocean warmth developed faster in 1997, but 2026 caught up following a record-breaking Kelvin wave that formed in April. A new westerly wind burst into June will keep these two years neck and neck.

We need this type of focused enforcement and education in our community.
On Thursday, March 26, deputies from the Santee Sheriff's Station conducted a focused enforcement operation aimed at addressing the growing number of electric bikes (e‑bikes) and electric motorcycles being operated in violation of state and local laws within the @CityofSantee. Deputies carried out traffic enforcement stops with an emphasis on identifying unlawful use of e‑bikes and electric motorcycles. Throughout the operation, deputies made an estimated 80 to 100 public contacts. Riders and parents received educational materials designed to increase awareness of legal requirements and safe operation practices. As a result of the enforcement activity, deputies issued 12 citations for various violations. Additionally, 10 electric motorcycles were impounded. Fines associated with these violations may total up to $1,400. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office reminds the public that e‑bikes and electric motorcycles are legally distinct vehicle types. While properly classified and equipped e‑bikes may be operated on public roadways in accordance with California law, electric motorcycles are not permitted for use on public streets unless they meet the full requirements for street‑legal motorcycles, including registration, licensing and insurance.

This is really scary unbelievable stuff. This is why we need to pull federal funding from these universities.
Horrifying, listen to three professors from Virginia public universities discuss taking down the United States through violence. “We actually need to crash the US—We must stand with the armed resistance.”

Hillary Clinton: “So I think we gotta have tough conditions. Tell people that come out of shadows, if they’ve committed a crime, deport them no questions asked, they’re gone!”

Dr. Phil says what’s actually taking place with ICE versus how the media reports it feels like two completely different movies. “This is like it’s written by activists, not news reporters.” When Dr. Phil was on the ground in Chicago, LA, and NY, he personally saw ICE carefully carrying out targeted arrests. But when he got home and turned on the TV, the media portrayed it as ICE “sweeping neighborhoods” and “taking anybody with a tan.” “And I’m like, come on. That’s just absolutely not what took place,” Dr. Phil objected. “And I’m thinking this is like it’s written by activists, not news reporters.”

Bernie! Remember when you said this!
2013. Bernie Sanders warns that flooding the country with low-skilled labor hurts American workers, especially young people. He said this at a critical time, when lawmakers were pushing a bill that would bring in hundreds of thousands of new entry-level workers into the labor market. “Is it really true that we can’t find American workers to do those jobs?” Sanders asked. “I don’t believe it,” he answered. He followed with another question: “Do we really need hundreds of thousands of workers… coming and competing against these kids?” “I think not,” Sanders said.

Lots of new eyes are opening to the lies we've all been sold our entire lives. Many haven't even seen this gem. Share it with them. Just ask them to watch it... and then let them stew in the implications for themselves. Welcome to the mindwar.
