Great Stock Market Rebound of April 22nd Update, w/ other recent transpirations

   Written by a registered Independent who left the very undemocratic Democrat Party on July 1, 2024.

Stock Market Update:  The cut-off date of the 2025 Stock Market Rebound will probably be marked as Friday, June 13, unless the Strait of Hormuz remains free of blockades, sabotage, and piracy.  

June the 13th was when the extremely successful surgical military strikes were performed upon the Iranian military and its nuclear department leaders.  Then came Iranian missiles upon civilian populations in Israel.  Next came strikes against Iranian intell personnel.  Then came more attacks against civilians in Israel.  The deliberate targeting of civilians is a war crime.  

In contrast, dropping warning leaflets on an area planned to be bombed, followed by unavoidable collateral damage isn't a war crime, when the amount of damage you are trying to prevent exceeds the amount of collateral damage that ensues.

None the less, it is also a war crime to prevent civilians from leaving their endangered homes for safety, when you simply want the civilians to die in the bombing, so that you can use their deaths for propaganda purposes, in blaming your crime on the military opposition.  Plus, Israel did provide medical personnel to injured Palestinians.  And Israel attempted to get food to the civilians in the Gaza Strip.  Guess who stole the food and provisions?

You need to also understand that the Hadith and the Qur'an both state that Allah commands Muslims to kill all Jews.  This is a contradiction, being that the Qur'an provides for non-Muslims to "pay the Jizya" (a tax likened to Mafia "protection money") and to then be allowed to stay alive.  This includes Jews.

During the Moorish occupation of Spain, Jews and Muslims economically interacted well with each other in . . . Granada, Spain.  None the less, in the Muslim religion, Muslims are expected to even kill other Muslims.  This involves the animosity between the Sunnis and the Shiite's, also known as the Shi'a.  So, even Muslims have been at war with Muslims.  

In fact, Turkey and Persia had 11 wars between themselves.  The wars resulted in 5 wins, 5 losses, and one tie, for both sides.  Persia is the former name for Iran.

The Effect of the Recent Middle Eastern Military Operations on Wall Street

In insurance practice, no policy covers war damage.  So, investors need to be cautious at the start of a newly embarked military tactic.  This translates into a "Bear Market," on Wall Street.  

Usually one waits for the attempted retaliation, to see if it results in success or failure.  Yes, people have gotten extremely rich off of war.  But, investors don't mindlessly dive-in, when a war enters a new phase.  This is especially the case when no war was officially declared.  In as much, it becomes a matter of "military action."  

The most important concern here is that 21% of the world's oil supply travels through the Strait of Hormuz, to the tune of 21 million barrels per work day.  If that area gets visited by military confrontation, life will not be easy in at least 21% of the modern world.

Well,  on June 14, the South Pars Gas Field was hit with drone ordnance from an Israeli military that isn't chump change. The Fajr Jam Gas Refining Company was hit, also.  None the less, the water lanes of the Strait of Hormuz is the deciding factor.  


As of Monday, June 16, the Strait of Hormuz remains spared of ... free from ... war damage and tactical blockades.  The petroleum keeps flowing out of the Persian Gulf, oi tankers.




Stock Market Update:

On May 27th, 2025 (the day after Memorial Day), the Dow-Jones Industrial Avg ... (the DJIA) ... gained 740 points.  It then stood at 42,343.65.   

Then, two weeks later, at the closing bell of June 10th, the DJIA stood at 42,866.87.  That is 95.1% of its December 4th, 2024, all-time high of 45,073.63.  

Now, the DJIA's low point for the Year 2025 was on April 8th, to the tune of 37,645.59 points.  Therefore, Between April 8th and June 10th, the DJIA gained 5,221.28 points.  That's a 63 day time span.  

NOW REMEMBER, losses incurred by the United Health Care stock price has lowered the DJIA score.  After all, the DJIA is the average of 30 blue chip stocks only, with United Health Care being one of them.  Thus, it helps to also view other stock market indices such as =====>

The S&P 500.  It gained 118.72 points on May 27th, the day after Memorial Day.  It then stood at 5,921.54.  

Then, two weeks later, at the closing bell of June 10th, it had slightly risen to 6,038.81.  Yet, that amounts to 98.7% of its Feb 14, 2025 all-time high of 6,114.63.  

Now, the S&P 500's low point in the Year 2025 was also on April 8th, to the tune of 4,910.42 points.  Therefore, in 63 days, it rose 1,128.39 points.

The NASDAQ Composite gained 461.96 points on May 27th.  It then stood at 19,199.16.  

Two weeks later, at the closing bell of June 10th, it had scooted upward to 19,714.98.  That's 97.7% of its December 16th, 2024 all-time "closing bell" high of 20,173.89.  It's actual all-time high ... a mid-day high ... was 20,204.58.  

Its 2025 low point was predictably on April 8th, where it dropped to 15,267.91 points.  Therefore, in a 63 day period ... from April 8th to June 10th ... the NASDAQ Composite rose 4,447.07 points.

Also on May 27th, the Russell 3000 gained 68.22 points.  It then sat at 3,368.02.  

Two weeks later, at the closing bell of June 10th, it has slightly risen to 3,435.88.  That's 97.8% of its Feb 19, 2025 all-time high of 3,511.09.  

🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥

As for the Dow-Jones US Total Stock Market Index

Now remember, the Dow-Jones Industrial Avg only involves 30 blue chip stocks.  The Dow-Jones US TOTAL Stock Market Index involves 95% of THE STOCK MARKET, based on capitalization.  This involves how a stock is recorded on a Balance Sheet, as opposed to an Income Statement.

Well, on May 27th, the Dow-Jones US Total Stock Market Index gained 1,192.07 points.  It then sat at 58,537.34.  

Two weeks later, on June 10th, it had risen to 59,728.37.   That's 97.7% of its all-time high of 61,079.41 which occurred on February 19th, in 2025.   

On April 8th, at its lowest point in the Year 2025, the Dow-Jones US Total Stock Market Index stood at 49,067.76 points.  Therefore, in 63 days ... from April 8 to June 10 ... it rose 10,660.61 points

Kamala Harris was a Fiction Narrator only 

The stock market indices show that Kamala Harris was making-up a fictional horror story for her April 30th audience, when she said that we are now in the "greatest man-made economic crisis in modern presidential history."  She was deliberately lying.  

In as much, if you give your money to Kamala, you are wasting your money.  So, give your money to the St. Jude's Children's Hospital Fund, to the Salvation Army, or to any TIME TESTED, PROVEN, and HONEST charity organization.  Do NOT waste your money on Kamala Harris.  

And of course, giving money to Gavin Newsom is detrimental, as well.  He is much more deceptive & disingenuous than is the airheaded Kamala.  A descriptive definition of such a politician is "smooth talking snake."  

In case you didn't know, Gavin Newsom was ALLEGEDLY known as having suffered from Dyslexia, and he still ALLEGEDLY suffers from Dyslexia.  In fact, Newsom admitted that he heavily relied on audio books.  

The office of head-of-state, in any nation, is not for a dyslexic.  You need to read rapidly enough to surmise situations immediately, especially at 3 AM, when the historic & tragic phone call comes.  

Kamala the Squanderer:  Waste of our Money.  Waste of our Time.  A waste of human lives.

All throughout her 2024 campaign, Kamala lied.  She is still campaigning.  So, she is still lying.  It's conjectured that she's campaigning for 20 million dollars of donation money, to pay the ALLEGED $20 million campaign debt she accrued, after she ALLEGEDLY squandered her 1.5 BILLION donation dollars, in a 107 day period, in 2024.  Read all about it, below.




Kamala had access to all of the stock market reports for the entire week prior to her defamatory April 30th speech.  She was also able to see the April 24th prelim Tariff Income Report which made Donald Trump look really good.  Kamala should have known better.  But, she decided to make Trump look like an "unhinged" monster, while making herself look like the caring saint who "told us so."  

Hundreds of Kamala's ex-employees do NOT praise her memory.  She was cited as being "a soul destroying" bully.  Approximately 480 of them, after having worked so hard for Kamala's failed campaign, were "dismissed" with two days warning and ZERO severance pay.  Kamala only cared for and cares about herself.

Oil Futures

As of the closing bell, on May 30th, West Texas Intermediate Oil sold at $60.79 per barrel.  In contrast, on Trump's first full day back in the White House ... on January 21th ... WTI Oil was $75.89 per barrel.  In 130 days , the price of WTI decreased  $15.11 per barrel.    

Then, on Tuesday, June 10th, 2025, at closing time, the WTI Futures Price was $64.77 per barrel.  That's still a lot less than Biden's $120+ price of June 2022.  

Next came the presumption that new warfare between Israel and Iran would emerge.  As a result, the price for a barrel of West Texas Intermediate oil, for the July contract, shot up past $77.  At the closing bell, the price dropped to $74.43.   As of Friday the 13th, the closing bell price was $72.98.  As of 7:00 am, on Monday June 16th, a barrel of WTI ... for the July 25th contract ... sold for $72.07.  Brent Crude was $73.39. 

It is reported that 21% of the world's oil travels through the Strait of Hormuz, to the tune of 21 million barrels per day, on average.  So, there is a fear that the supply of oil will significantly diminish, during the recently renewed warfare between Israel and Iran.  The fear is that oil futures will sky-rocket.   

Gasoline and the USA

As of June 16th, the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in America was less than $3.00 in 25 states.  In an additional ten states, the price was below $3.10.   The nation average was $3.14 per gallon of regular gasoline, on June 16, 2025.  

Even in Kamala's ultra-liberal state of California, the cost-per-gallon decreased by nineteen cents per gallon, rendering the average price at $4.65 per gallon.  The second most expensive gasoline in the Continental USA, as of June 16th, was in ultra-liberal Washington State, at $4.37 per gallon of regular.


However, the ALL-TIME highest national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was in the Year 2012, in the middle of the Obama Tenure.  It was $3.64 per gallon.

In conclusion, the worst modern economic disaster was the Great Depression of the 1930s.  The second worst was the Bush/Cheney Great Recession which guaranteed that in, 2008, any Democrat Party nominee was going to win the presidency over Republican Nominee McCain.  The third worst economic disaster was the Biden/Harris Shadow Presidency of 2021 to 2024.


With this being the case ...

Let us not forget how ruthless & ungrateful Kamala has been, as was seen in her letting hundreds of her workers be fired without more than a two-day warning and without severance pay.  These were people who worked tirelessly for her campaign.  And this is the thanks they got.  

Kamala did not have the wisdom to reserve some of her 1.5 billion campaign donor dollars for her workers.   See below, so that you can remember how hateful ... or at the least, how painfully incompetent ... Kamala Harris is.  Kamala looks out for no one but herself:


The Biden "job-gains" were RECOVERED jobs that were pre-existing.

Then comes the matter of a dementia-ridden Joe Biden bragging about having had great success as a president.  Meanwhile, we, the common citizens of America, endured hardship on account of Biden's shadow presidency.

In light of this arrogance, know that between 2021 and 2023, 72% of all job-gains were simply pre-existing jobs that were RECOVERED, and NOT new-job-creations.  As far as goes the Biden-job-creation trend, it comprised "federal jobs," ... "government jobs," artificially created by Biden's own administration.  Private sector jobs require talent to induce.

Next comes Kamala's sheer arrogance, in the midst of her bimbo giggles, as we had nothing to laugh-about throughout her tenure

April 2nd, 2025, was President Donald Trump's personally declared Economic Liberation Day.  On April 3rd, before any substantial stock market activity could occur, Kamala spoke in public saying, "I don't want to say that I told you so, but ..."   

Needless to say, the well known bimbo giggle ... often called a "cackle" ... was then blurted-out by Kamala, even though she has reached 60 years of age and should have had the discipline to control asinine outbursts.  However, Kamala repeatedly showed herself to have no discipline and no emotional control.  She was acting as if she were playing "gotcha" with Donald Trump, gloating with a heavily packed quantity of snideness in her mind.

Kamala did claim that she predicted a recession under Trump's second term.  Ironically, a textbook-defined recession actually did occur under Biden & Harris in 2022.  Under Joe & Kamala, there were two consecutive quarters of negative growth.  Those two consecutive negative growth quarters in 2022 were not officially declared a recession.  See for yourself:

Plus, Kamala was in the presidential administration which was ... "by far" ... the biggest deficient spender administration in modern history.  See for yourself:

More importantly, the Biden/Harris administration was recognized by the GAO as the one administration which wasted more money than any other presidential administration in history.  See for yourself:

The April 22nd Rebound

Let's now adjourn to the magical & mystical realm of graphical lines & numerical records, so that you can see how dishonest & worthless are career politicians & mainstream media commentators.


                     Above:   The Dow-Jones Industrial Avg (DJIA) from Apr 21 to May 19, 2025.   
                    From  April 21st to May 19th, the DJIA gained 4,961.41 points.  [in 28 days].

Q:   What were the democrats and democrat-allied commentators recently saying?  

ANS:  1] "Donald Trump is tanking the Stock Market."  2a] "Trump is tanking the economy."  2b] "Trump is burning down the house and collapsing the economy."  3] "Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to the economy."  

4] And of course, the giggling bimbo publicly described Trump as the bringer of ... "the greatest man-made economic crisis in modern presidential history."

Well, very detailed & across-the-board fact-checking was done, to see if any of this is true.  The conclusion was that  ========>  Donald Trump ain't no chump.  Or else, he is really really REALLY lucky.  

The question is this:  Did Kamala know about the recent economic resurgence and deliberately lied to her April 30th audience, or was she merely the lazy airhead she is alleged of being, and did not check the stock market and tariff reports at all?

We have also learned ...

... that Rachel Maddow actually is a WASTE OF AIR TIME.  The repulsive Joy Reid is a waste of your time.  And Cory Booker wasted his own time on the Senate floor.  Concerning this,  I can assure you that no reasonable person who has to get up in the morning and go to work was listening to Cory Booker.

The Worst Inflation in 40 Years was triggered under Biden/Harris; not under Trump

As far as goes the "greatest man-made economic crisis in modern presidential history," the greatest one was the:  {1} Great Depression of the 1930s.  {2} There was also the Great Panic of 1893 which was actually triggered in Argentina.  {3} Then, there was the Great Recession of 2008 which resulted in the Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy, the Bear Stearns Collapse, the IndyMac Collapse, and eventually the Chapter-11-bankruptcy of General Motors.   {4} The third or fourth worst economic crisis was caused by the Biden/Harris Shadow Presidency of the 2020s.  

Will the Real President Please Stand Up

The people alleged to have been Biden's surrogate presidents of the United States, according to Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson, were:  1] Mike Donilon,  2] Steve Riccheti,  3] Bruce Reed,  4] Anthony Bernal, 5] Annie Tomasini, and of course,  6] Ron Klain.   

It goes without saying that Jill was involved in the Shadow Presidency too, as the de facto White House Influencer.  But, the one who was ALLEGED to have been in charge with the auto-pen was . . .  Jill Biden's Chief of Staff, Anthony Bernal.  The allegation is that he was De Facto President Bernal ... allegedly.  

There was one more person alleged to have been in the "Biden Inner Circle."  His name will not be mentioned here.  More evidence about him needs to come my way or I need to omit mention of him.  So, I will not mention him.

All in all, the Joe & Kamala People gave Americans the highest price for a gallon of gasoline ever, at $5.07.  They simultaneously gave America the worst inflation in over 40 years.  Add Fentanyl deaths to the Biden/Harris list, as well as the highest accrual of national debt in any four-year period.  

Under Biden & the arrogant Kamala Harris, the U.S. National Debt rose more than $2 TRILLION per year, each year of their tenure.  The spending during the Biden Years was as irresponsible & as pointless as was the spending of the 107-day, 2024 Harris Presidential Campaign.  

And quite frankly, the Secretary of Transportation under Biden needed to know that changing the name of a bridge is not going to prevent it from collapsing.  Name-changing is not an act of maintenance upon any aging infrastructure.  The safety of the People is what counts.

Also add to the list of Biden-era outrages =====>

              the Biden Administration's very sneaky backdoor BAN ON NATURAL GAS EXTRACTION, in the form of the 2024 freezing of export permits on Liquid Natural Gas, throughout the first half of the year.

This created a storage backup, and this lasted until a federal judge intervened in July of 2024.  The official ruling included the following judicial surmise:

U.S. District Judge James Cain in Lake Charles, Louisiana, sided with 16 Republican-led states in holding that the U.S. Department of Energy's freeze on approvals of LNG exports was "completely without reason or logic."  

This means that Biden-Harris-and-Surrogates were just jagging America along ... stringing America along ... in performing stall tactics.  This also shows that Kamala LIED each time she said that she would never ban fracking ... and every time she claimed that she never did ban fracking.  She deceitfully made it sound as if there were no ban on fracking at anytime during the Biden Presidency.

The Biden-Harris People obviously didn't have the fortitude to study Atmospheric Science.  If they did, they would know that CO2 only occupies 0.044% of the atmosphere, and that 90% of all greenhouses, by volume, is WATER VAPOR.  This means that natural gas isn't going to cause the End of the World in any nearby century.   

BTW, "volume" means "space occupied."  90% of the space which is occupied by greenhouse gases is occupied by Water Vapor.  

Furthermore, whenever CO2 is in its Symmetric Stretch Vibrational Mode, it is incapable of capturing Infrared Light.  This is why an ice age can occur ... and actually did occur ... when the atmospheric CO2 level was/is 9 times higher than it is today.  That Ice Age was called the Ordovician Ice Age.


Kamala did NOT admit to the existence of the Great Stock Market Rebound of April 22nd, 2025

Kamala spoke her April 30th defamatory rant against Donald Trump eight days after the Great Rebound began.  On Day #4, anyone taking a quick glance at a Wall Street graph could easily tell that a significant stock market rebound was underway.  

All of the major stock market indices have rebounded remarkably well, ever since April 22, and all of the indices are closely approaching their all-time highs.   In fact, there was a time span within April & May 2025, when the S&P 500 had nine consecutive net-gain days, and this has not happened since 2004.

This was followed by a May 2nd gain of the DJIA, as well as a May 8th gain, where the Dow surpassed 42,000 points.  On May 12, the DJIA then gained 1,116 points in one day, making Kamala Harris look like an even more asinine buffoon than she usually does.  So, as of Monday, May 19, the DJIA stood at 42,792.07.  

Also to note, according to the Original Sin authors, the following is a matter of factuality:  Kamala Harris ... especially toward Anderson Cooper ... was alleged to have sworn vulgarities like an out-of-control, ever-so-trashy alcoholic ... or drunken sailor ... as well as an all-around bully & punk.  

The great irony to this is that Kamala is merely an aging runt of no known discipline.  After all, many an American saw her speak on video recording, wondering how much alcohol she drank before this speech, that interview, and the other rant.

Back to the Dow, also known as the DJIA, as in the Dow-Jones Industrial Average

On April 8, 2025 the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped to its lowest score since the start of 2024.  It dipped to 37,645.59 points.  The following day ... April 9th, 2025 ... was the record-breaking day consisting in a net-gain of 2,962 points for one day.

The day which followed the 9th of April was a 1,000 point net-loss day.  In fact, the falling numbers of United Health Care's stock price was literally bringing down the Dow-Jones Industrial Average's numbers.  There was then a slight rise, followed by a downward stock index slant until April 21, to the mid-day low of 37,830.66.  Then came April 22.  It was the arrival of Springtime on Wall Street. 

At the closing bell of Friday, May 19, the DJIA stood at 42,792.07.  From April 8th to May 19th ... a period of 41 days ... the Dow-Jones Industrial Average rose 5,146.15 points.  Subtract 37,645.59 from 42,792.07.

The Dow's highest "closing bell" mark ever was 45,073.63.  This occurred in Dec of 2024.  Thus, as of Monday, May 19, the Dow stood at 94.9% of its highest "closing bell "mark, ever.  Divide 42,792 by 45,073.  As of May 30th, 2025, the DJIA sat at ... or stood at ... 42,270.07.  That amounts to 93.78% of the DJIA's all-time high.

📶📶📶📶📶📶📶📶📶📶📶📶📶📶

Now, the DJIA refers to the combined average of 30 specific stocks.  Well, there is also the Dow-Jones US Total Stock Market Index.  On April 8, 2024, it stood at 49,067.76.  There was a sharp rise, and then a gradual decline until Monday, April the 21st, 2025, where it stood at 50,881.56.  

The Rebound then ensued.  At the closing bell of Monday May 19, the Dow-Jones US Total Stock Market Index stood at 58,960.35.   In 28 days, it increased by 8,078.79 points.  Concerning April 8th, from that specific day until May 19, 2025 ... a period of 41 days ... the DJ US TOTAL Stock Market Index gained 9,892.59 points.

The bottom line is this:  The Dow-Jones, NYSE, Wall Street stock market indices are NOWHERE NEAR TANKING.  Rachel Maddow was wrong.  Those stock market indices have been surging, and they were surging when Kamala was telling her April 30th audience that America now faced an economic crisis like never before.  

The question at this point is:  How many people were stupid enough to have believed Kamala, in what she said during the stock market surge?  Look below at the surge, in graphical form:

Above:  During the Kamala Harris "Damn-Donald-Trump" speech of April 30, the Dow-Jones US TOTAL Stock Market Index stood at 54,949.64.  This means that it increased by 5,881.88 points in nine calendar days ... and in seven business days.   

This was a net-gain of 840 points per business day.  Yet, Kamala Harris acted entirely clueless to this, in her smugly snide arrogance & disrespect toward Donald Trump.  

Such disrespect of Donald Trump is Kamala Harris' disrespect for the 77.3 million registered voters who voted for Trump.  Kamala declared herself the mortal enemy of 77,300,000 legal Americans, and that was really stupid for a politician to have ever done.  

Plus, Kamala additionally insulted America's intelligence by vehemently denying Joe Biden's blatant dementia & overall mental incapacitation.  All that she did was lie and squander over a billion dollars throughout her campaign.  Meanwhile, the mainstream media lied for her.

You now see why Kamala is the first major candidate in 92 years who failed to flip a single county.  You can also see why the same Kamala Harris failed to win a single swing state ... and why she only won nine Pivot Counties, while  Donald Trump won 197 of them, in the same November 2024 election.  

In her own State of California, where she was Calif AG and US senator, as well as San Fran DA, Donald Trump flipped ten counties, while she flipped zero counties anywhere in the United States.

📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈

Concerning the HuffPost arrogantly claiming that Trump was running "the strong economy he inherited into a ditch," know this =====>  

Where there remains the high prices due to the worst inflation in 40 years, there is no strong economy to be inherited.  When the rain ends, yet the flood waters remain, there is no relief.  Therefore, the risen prices which emerged during the Biden years are still with us.  Biden's inflation is still in tact, causing the working poor prolonged pain.  He and Kamala had it easy and have it easy.  The working poor continue to have it hard.

Demand Pull Inflation, which is moderately different than Cost Push Inflation, even visits stock markets.  This is because all of that M1 currency that Biden and the Congressional Dems shelled-out to agencies and NGOs, as if to be Santa Claus & his reindeer, has got to go somewhere, when there is not enough merchandise inventory to attract the currency.  

Basically, there was "all this money," "yet nothing to buy with it."  In such cases, Demand Pull Dollars eventually end up in the stock markets, causing stock prices to rise, just as was the case with the price of food & gasoline during the Biden/Harris years. .

Now for Standard & Poor's 500, between April 21st and May 19th, 2025. 
 
It's lowest point since February 2024 was its April 8th, 2025 mid-day reading of 4,910.42.  The second lowest "closing bell" tally for the S&P 500 was the April 21st, 2025.  The closing-bell reading was 5,158.20 points.  Then came Springtime on Wall Street, for America, otherwise known as The Great Rebound of April 22.

On Monday, May 19th, the S&P 500 stood at 5,963.60.  It rose 805.40 points in 28 days.  It actually rose 15.7%, from its April 21st mid-day low of 5,101.63  Ever since mid-day April 8th of 2025, until May 19 of the same year, the S&P 500 rose 1,053.18 points.   This comprises a 41 day period.

The S&P 500 was at its highest closing bell tally on January 25, 2025.  This was to the tune of 6,118.71 points.  As of May 19th, the S&P 500 was at 97.4% of it highest mark, ever.  The American stock markets have been surging and NOT tanking.

                 ★☆★☆★☆★☆

BELOW:
  Next comes the Nasdaq Composite, between April 21 and May 19, 2025.  At its height, the Nasdaq Composite was once at 20,173.89.  This was on December 16, 2024.  Then, on April 8th, it went as low as 15,267.91.  It went upward for a short while and then downward to its April 21st reading of 15,870.90.   And of course, on April 22nd, the Wall Street Springtime began.

As of Monday, May 19th, 2025, the Nasdaq Composite stood at 19,215.46.  Now, there are 28 days that span from Apr 21st to May 19th.  In 28 days, the Nasdaq Composite gained 3,344.56 points.  

Divide 3,344.56 by 15,870.90.  It equals 0.21073.  In 28 days, the Nasdaq Composite increased 21% from its April 21st low of 15,870.90.  On  May 21, the NASDAQ Composite stood at 95.2% of its highest "closing bell" mark, ever.

Now for the Russell 3000

The creators of the Russell 3000 intended to make it the most indicative index for surmising the entire American stock market.  It was intended to be "the benchmark" thereof.  It keeps track of the 3,000 most widely traded stocks.  Thus, it was intended to be in league with the Dow-Jones US Total Stock Market Index.

Now, the Russell 3000 is a price-weighted index, meaning that each stock constitutes a fraction of the whole index, in proportion toward each stock's per-share price.  Thus, the Russell 3000 is the average of the prices per share. 

In contrast, the Dow-Jones US Total Stock Market Index is a Total Market Index which focuses in on the total market value of a company's outstanding shares of stock.  

The Russell 3000 was at its height on February 19, 2025, to the tune of 3,509.12 points.  Then, on April 8th, it hit its lowest since late January, 2024.  The count at the time was 2882.48 points.  The Russell 3000 slightly rose and then slid down to 2930.36, on April 21st, 2025.  It began its rebound on April 22.  

On May 20, 2025, the Russell 3000 noontime score was 3,379.62.  In 28 1/2 days ... from Apr 22 to May 20 ... it rose 449.26 points.  That amounts to rising 15.3% from its Apr 21st low of 2930.36.  As of noontime May 20th, the Russell 3000 stood at 96% of its February 2025 high.

And finally, Barron's 400, as is seen below:

            Here's a question for novices:  What is the importance of Barron's 400 Index?

ANS:  If the stock markets really do go into chaos, then Barron's 400 will be the first Index to crash.  Barron's 400 Index is the proverbial canary in the coal mine.

Concerning Barron's 400, its highest point was 1,356.99, on November 25th, 2024.  On April 8th, 2025, Barron's 400 dipped to 1,058 points.  It hadn't been that low, since January 7th, 2024.  Well, it rose a bit, and then slid until April 21, when it dipped to 1,102.71 points.  Then came the April 22nd rebound. 

At the closing bell of the NYSE's May 16th session, Barron's 400 reached 1,290.57 points.  On May 19th, it stood at 95.1% of its November 2024 all-time high.  At the closing bell of May 30th, Barron's 400 stood at 1,265.99.  That was 93.2% of its all-time high.

TESLA

UPDATE:  On June 5th, the price dropped to $281.75.  In six days Tesla Stock rose $44.68, to $326.43.  As of June 13th, a share of Tesla common stock is $325.31.  

At its height, on December 17th, 2024, Tesla Inc stock was 483.99.  Its closing price/tally for that day was 479.86.  Needless to say, severe animosity & defamation against Musk ensued, and the Tesla stock price dropped to 217.80.  Guess the day when Tesla stock was at its lowest price since June 2021:  Yes, you've got it right.  It was on none other than APRIL 8TH, 2025.

Pillsbury Doughboy look-alike, Tiananmen Tim Walz, publicly mentioned how much of a boost it was for him to see the Tesla stock price decline ... tumble ... recede ... drop.  Well, as of closing bell time on MAY 19, 2025, the Tesla stock price stood as $343.50 per share.  So, it rose 125.7 points/dollars in 41 days.  That is slightly higher than the price it was at closing time, on February 21, 2025.

Walz should have condemned the acts of arson committed upon Tesla cars.  But of course, this is the grossly negligent governor who let Minneapolis burn, in 2020.  After all, on May 28, 2020, hundreds of stores were either burned, vandalized, or looted in the Minneapolis/St.Paul region.  This amounts to Gross Dereliction of Duty.

There are more economic indicators to present, but I don't get paid a penny to do all of this work.   I've got other things to do, and the things already posted here are sufficient enough to get a novice to realize that the democrat party power brokers and their mainstream media allies have been lying to you repeatedly.  Those people are an insult to reasonably minded people who are currently informed on financial matters, military matters, and even things pertaining to tangible assets.  

Don't let them scare you into believing that their political opponents are an army of Nazi marauders and psychopaths.  It has been all hype, presented with the intention to brainwash you into submitting to them, the Mainstream Media.  There is no news anymore.  It's all propaganda, presented in a false light.

The Blatant Difference between the Nazi Party Gestapo and ICE

When the Gestapo arrested a Jew, the Jew ended up dying.  When ICE arrests an illegal alien, the illegal alien ends up living ... the illegal alien remains alive, and even gets a free ride back to his homeland.   Case closed.

The thesis statement is this:  The True Economic Liberation Day was April 22nd, 2025.  Technically speaking,  April 22nd was the day of the Great Rebound.  April 21st was the second lowest day for  American-based major stock indices, next to April 8th, 2025.  And now you see that the Stock Market(s) are not tanking, after all.  

The evidence above makes Rachel Maddow a fraud.  It makes Dan Goldman a bigger fraud.  It makes Booker & Jeffries bullies & fakes.  It makes Yellen look like nothing more than a regretful DEI hire, despite her reputation for note-taking, in her graduate school years.  

The evidence above also shows that Joy Reid actually has no value, in her being nothing more than an arrogant white-hating racist who curses the white man who invented most of the things that make life easy for her.   In fact, the white man invented the things that made her rich.  This includes the still life camera [Joseph Nicéphore Niépce] , the motion picture camera & video camera [Louis Le Prince], as well as television [Philo Farnsworth] and the airwave antennae [Heinrich Hertz], as well as cable TV [John Walson].  So, go to Hell, you hate-filled racist, Joy "the Repulsive" Reid.  And show the white men who made you rich some respect ... for a change ... Chumperella. 

The evidence above furthermore shows that the United States truly did dodge a deadly bullet on November 5th.  There would have been many more Laken Riley-type murders.  Dictatorial censorship would have been the norm.  Corporations would have been blamed for Biden's Demand Pull Inflation.  Yet, the prices for food and energy would still be a vexation to the People.  

Moreover, under Kamala Harris, life in metropolitan America would have been turned into a Soviet-era East Germany ... East Berlin 2.0  

In sequence, Catholic hospitals would have been targeted for takeover.  The Catholic Church would have been under heavy persecution.  Those Catholics who prefer the centuries old Latin Mass of Kings and Emperors would have been designated as terrorists.  

Meanwhile, the United States military would have been run by freaks out of touch with mainstream society.  Those people were and are the extreme minority.  The obsolete air traffic control system of America would have remained as such.  Thus, any semblance of democracy would have been out the proverbial door under Harris & the Pillsbury Doughboy Dorkmeister, Tim Walz.

Now, Kamala Harris did NOT win a single primary election delegate in two presidential campaigns.  Yet, she was placed as the successor of a Joe Biden who had two brain surgeries back in 1988 and whose mental capacities were basically non-existent in 2024.  The Will of the People would have been ignored, and a coup d'état would have taken place. 

Moreover, the Crime against Humanity which involved the murder of children who never get to see their mothers' faces would have been regarded as the holiest of sacraments.  All in all, the United States would have been in a state of outrage as present, if the one who never won a single primary election delegate in her life would have been able to have received more than 270 electoral votes on November 5th, 2024.  

But instead, the United States is presently in a state of REBOUND.  Yet, the violent sector of the Democrat Party is looking to sabotage the Rebound, so as to take-over the power structure, solely out of animalistic greed & self-worshipping narcissism.  They want the millions of gate-crashing, unvetted, illegal immigrants to stay in America, so that those people can quickly become registered democrats and vote for Kamala or whomever the Democrat Party Elites choose behind closed doors ... for the 2028 Democrat Party nominee.  

These illegal immigrants would also cause a shift in the census and enable the democrat party regions of America to gain one, two, or three additional House of Representative seats, causing the Republicans to lose one, two, or three of the same.

The democrats in power & influence will be UNABLE to win a nationwide election without importing registered voters.  They have their gated communities & armed security guards, while the vast majority of Americans are & were vulnerable to the gate-crashing criminals who have no concept of civilized conduct.  Those career politicians simply have the concept of "scoring," at America's expense.  

When the arrogant Von Hollen actively supported a criminal, he committed a crime, in his attempt to re-endanger his constituents.  He also committed a ton of defamation. Von Hollen is a descendant of an ambassador and a CIA chief, both who were stationed in South Asia.  He acts like he's Hapsburg aristocracy ... or Metternich Aristocracy, while hypocritically claiming himself to be a condemner of imperial politics.  Chris Von Hollen condemned the very person he is.  

At present, he has proven himself to be a danger to society ... to the next Laken Riley .. in having sought to have an MS-13 criminal intermingle with the people of Maryland and with people along the routes the MS-13 gang member traveled as a human-trafficker. 

The arrogant Chris Von Hollen thinks you're stupid.  Yet, he thinks that everyone knew who he was, before he took-on the cause of dumping MS-13 thugs into America.  He thought he was more famous than he is.

Kamala's personal wealth accumulation

As far as went Kamala through the years, while San Fran DA, she made $140,000 per annum which  eventually increased to $200,000 a year in 2010.  This was her pay, while she was being notably in the midst of either incompetence or irresponsibility.  While Calif Attorney General, she was making $159,000 per year.  As US senator, she was making $174,00 per year.   As vice prez, her salary was $235,000 per year.

Kamala bought a $300,000 condo in the South-of-Market-Street neighborhood in San Francisco which today is allegedly worth $900,000.  Her San Fran DA pension was said to be worth $250,000.  She actually received TWO pensions which amounted to almost a million dollars.  Her name is attached to two other pieces of property which rose in monetary value during the Biden Inflation Years.  Plus, she co-owns 3 to 6.6 million dollars in retirement accounts, cash, etc.

Kamala also received at least $450,000 in royalties for three books, one of which was a children's book.  Another one was called, "The Truths We Hold," which is ironic for a serial liar.  But of course, Hitler's book was declared a book of new revelations of truth, too.  So, always beware of the reliability of any book with the word, "truth" in its title.  The word, "truth," is usually inserted to deceive you ... to have you let down your guard ... to turn you into a gullible fool.

Then there is Kamala's other book, Smart on Crime.  It should have been titled, "Malicious Prosecutor" or Vexatious Prosecutor.  She was called the Queen of Incarceration.  She filed a lot of indictments for marijuana use, but obtained few convictions.  She even prosecuted a mom, because her son played hooky a lot.  That means that he missed a lot of school attendance.  He skipped-out a lot of times.  Kamala spent her time wasting taxpayer dollars.

After a lot of money was absorbed by an amazingly airheaded Kamala Harris, hundreds of her diligent 2024 campaign workers ended up unemployed with zero severance pay, and with very very short notice.  Abortion Hags like the 60 year old Kamala think nothing of throwing away human life, even the human lives who worked hard for her.  

And of course, do not forget the $1.5 BILLION that Kamala irresponsibly squandered in a 107 day period in 2024.  Don't trust Kamala with any money.  If you can't run a campaign, you can't run a nation.

The American Spring is being heavily opposed by the Democrat Party, because they are greed-stricken, lust-filled people who want all of the pleasure, power, and wealth to themselves.  To these people, black lives only matter once every four years.  They are not "for-the-poor."  They are "against-the-wealthy," because the wealthy have the power and pleasure they lust.  Such people have used the poor to dethrone the rich and powerful, and such a technique has NOT worked, since the 1870s in Western Europe, 1918 in Russia, and 1949 in China.

There is an additional sign of Kamala having a low & slow intelligence

How can you spend five years in a French speaking state or province and be unable to at least casually speak colloquial French "sur le vif"???  Five and six year old children there can speak French sur le vif.  Sur le vif means "on the spot."  

Concerning her failure to grasp the French Language, she stood in a laboratory setting saying, The Plan.  Big T.  Big P.  The Plan.  Well, excuse Kamala, but the definite article for a masculine noun in French is '"Le" ... and NOT "the," you moron.  And you don't pronounce the "n" in "plan."  The one sound byte showed what a low-intelligence person Kamala actually is.

And recall the hundreds of cases in San Francisco which had to be dismissed under Kamala's watch, due to tainted laboratory evidence.  Well, it was publicly announced that "a thousand" cases had to be dismissed under Kamala Harris, as SAN Fran DA.

After the first 100 dismissed cases, Kamala should have caught-on and put things back into order, in San Fran.  But, she was too involved with becoming Calif AG, so that she could then become the United States' President after a quick stay as US senator from California.  She did not have the time to do her job.

Kamala almost succeeded in becoming president without ever having won a single primary election delegate.  The problem was that 77.3 million Americans said, "I don't want you anywhere near the White House."  Moreover, I can assure you that Kamala would have declared it to be a racist thing to call 1600 Pennsylvania Ave the "White House."

Kamala has no diplomatic skills.  She is the opposite of a peacemaker.

As far as went Kamala, she was the proverbial "last straw" who provoked the Russian-Ukrainian War, via her February 19, 2022, Munich Security Conference speech.  It was the Don't-Mess-with-NATO speech.  It was the predictable "We-Will-Stand-Strong" speech.  It offered no olive branch to Russia. 

That February 2022 speech was intended to intimidate Russia and cause Russia to back-down.  It had the opposite effect.  It let the Russians know that the West would keep coming & coming, up to the western borderline of Russia, and post NATO flags there.  

Five days after Kamala's Intimidation Speech, Russia invaded the Ukraine.  Kamala Harris & her mouth triggered the largest & deadliest war in Europe since World War II.  Kamala Harris has an aura that attracts death.

If Russia were at America's border, the US would have met the Russians with Graphic Coercion

In comparison, if Russian flags were flying all over Cuba in 2022, and if Russian weapons were being stockpiled in Cuba, the United States would have invaded or blockaded Cuba ... if the USA didn't have a brain-dead president and an airheaded vice president.  Thus, it was only logical that Russian was going to invade the Ukraine.  

Technically, Russia was countering NATO.  The Russian benefit included was the rich farmland of the Ukraine.  The Biden People apparently didn't care that the Russians saw that the Ukraine was becoming a NATO launching ground in 2022.

Likewise, if Russian flags were flying throughout Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon Mexico, and if Russian ships were continuously unloading weaponry at the Port of Altamira, you can be assured that fully armed United States military units would have crossed the Mexican border and engaged in descriptive military action, until the threat was gone.  Brownsville Texas would have become the parking lot of the American military.

Feisty Kamala has no diplomatic skills.  After all, she was the in-your-face promoter & defender of the violent George Floyd Rioters.  She wanted the violent people out of jail, instead of having law-abiding Americans be made safe from them.  

According to my private citizen's opinion of a public figure ... which is protected by NY Times v Sullivan (376 U.S. 254) ... it is my opinion that, in Kamala's Sick & Twisted mind, these George Floyd Rioters were her personal soldiers, to put her into power.  She sees the millions of unvetted gate-crashing immigrants as her soldiers, too.

Likewise, her February 19th, 2022, speech was an In-Your-Face Speech toward Russia.  All of you registered voters of 2020 should have known that Kamala was going to quickly become part of the most violent action on Planet Earth which definitely turned out to be the Ukrainian-Russian War of 2022 ... 2023 ... 2024 ... 2025.  

Biden, Harris, and Company could have prevented the war ... or shortened it.  They attempted no such thing.  It seemed as if they wanted Russia to attack.  But, they surely want NATO flags on Russia's border.  That's the easiest way to provoke a war. 

By the way, it's "THE Ukraine", and not "Ukraine."  Thus, it's pronounced just like THE Netherlands, THE United States, and THE United Kingdom.  The Ukraine, etymologically speaking, was derived from "країна" (krayina), and it means "THE Frontier Territory."  The American public school system, CNN, & MSNBC actually did create a generation of virtual illiterates in America.  

Oh, by the way, it's "awakened" and NOT "woke."  And there's nothing "wok", about white-hating black racists who benefitted from the $22 TRILLION Affirmative Action Outlay, while displaying ingratitude to such white-guilt generosity.

There is also nothing "wok" about blacks acting ungrateful towards those thousands of white men in blue uniforms who died in the 1860s, while following Abe Lincoln's orders.

Let's continue:

Clueless Kamala presents herself as a strong force to be reckoned with, while she wears Converse Tennis Shoes as a substitute for a frail & aging 60 yr old woman's orthopedic shoes.

Kamala tried to originally come-off as a poor girl from the "hood," wanting "pheedom."  So, she acted as if she wore black Converse Tennis Shoes as a part of that don't-mess-with-me toughness.  Well, she actually wore those shoes as substitutes for orthopedic shoes, because she is ungracefully aging.  

People who were too lazy in youth to have any type of athletic background don't age gracefully.  Alcoholics don't age gracefully, either.  And of course, you have perhaps heard more that one of Kamala's speeches and interviews.  So, don't be a stooge of the Democrat Party.  Do the math instead, when assessing a candidate.

And remember, in June of 2023, Kamala received the lowest poll rating of any vice president, in the history of that particular NBC poll which scored Kamala at MINUS 17 points.  She was not at all popular the year before she was artificially thrusted into the democrat party presidential nominee post.

Kamala's blatant asininity, in her being clueless to the Wall Street Rebound of late April 2025, proved that she is not suitable for holding any kind of political office that involves a national economy ... or mathematics.  She proved to us that America dodged a deadly bullet on November 5th, 2024.  

Her election would have been a guaranteed disaster for America ... especially for Roman Catholics, being that Pro-Abortion Barbie has a seething hatred for the Pro-life Roman Catholic Church which has provided untold charity programs for humanity throughout the centuries.  

Sainte Therese de Lisieux, aka Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus.

Moreover, if any of Donald Trump's condemners extend the effort to spend a TV show, a podcast, or a news article admitting that he/she were wrong about him, then it would be time to call Ripley's Believe-it-or-Not, for starters.  

Of course, in their impish immaturity, the democrats obsessively seek to find any excuse to condemn Trump and to incite his assassination, as well as inciting George-Floyd-Type rioting.  

For now, all of the famous names ... which are actually infamous names ... were all 100% wrong.  They apparently don't realize how annoying they have gotten to become, in their dismissive & fake-expert arrogance.  They all need to be replaced, just like Joe Biden & Kamala Harris needed to be replaced.

July 21, 2025

The Claim of 101F Florida Ocean Water Is 101% Fraud. It was Everglade "run-off" water from the "Taylor Slough" & Mangrove Swamp.

The real ocean water in the vicinity, at the time, was 86F, instead.

The following has been written by an alumnus of one of Florida's coastal universities.  And of course, every coastal university in Florida had an oceanography department.

On July 25th & 26th, media outlets of all categories were reporting that ocean water off of South Florida reached a record-breaking high temperature of 101F, and that this was proof that the planet is in a climate crisis.  The UN Sec-Gen claimed that Planet Earth was now in the phase of Global "Boiling."

The media then mentioned that this 101F reading was at Manatee Bay, as if Manatee Bay were a large and integral part of the Atlantic Ocean.  Therefore, take note that Manatee Bay is a shallow and insignificant shoreline basin that is NOT even worthy to be named on Florida maps.  It's inside of "Barne's Sound," near a Hwy 1 bridge.

Now, the media stated that the 101F reading came from a buoy.  This deceptively made it sound as if the 101F temperature existed three or four miles away from the Florida shoreline.  The reality is that the 101F temperature came from estuary water which, in turn, was actually Everglade run-off water from Mangrove Swamp ... and even water from something known as the Taylor Slough.  All in all, the measurement was that of swamp water, very near shore and very near Hwy 1 which is also called, the South Dixie Hwy.   

On the day reported, the true nearby ocean water was 86F, and this temperature was about three degrees BELOW average.  That amounts 15 degrees Fahrenheit LESS THAN the crisis-stage temperature falsely reported.   It's time for some journalists to be fired.    . 

Plus, the media also reported that the area underwent coral bleaching.  Stop there.  Another false light deception.  Penalty marker time.  This only happened in Islamadora which is 18 miles southwest of Key Largo.  It is located on the main archipelago, and it's known for its "fly fishing."  

Key Largo is also on the same archipelago.  Across the Florida Bay from Key Largo is Mangrove Swamp, and in between the two places is Cross Keys.  Lots of keys in the Florida Keys, and lots of run-off water too.

Posted directly below here is a second map, in order to clarify how much of a deliberate farce this 101F report was and is.  The bottom line is that the news media was reporting on SWAMP run-off water ... and NOT Atlantic Ocean water which is technically on the southeastern side of the South Florida Archipelago where one finds Key Largo and Key West.  Furthermore, if you travel southwest from Key West, you will find yourself in the Florida Straits which pass northern Cuba.
On the map above, Manatee Bay is located where the red circled #4 is located.  Take note that it's semi-surrounded to its east,  by a small archipelago.  North Key Largo is at the top righthand side of this map, on the main archipelago.  Key Largo is at lower central, on the same archipelago.  

At the lower lefthand corner, it is written "Florida Bay."  Technically, the whole area, including very insignificant Manatee Bay, is Florida Bay, until you reach the long archipelago.   The important feature is that the current of the Southern Florida border travels west to east.  

East of the archipelago is regarded to be the Atlantic Ocean --- the Florida Straits.   The true ocean water there, at the time of the 101F swamp water run-off reading was approximately 84.9F to 86F.   Average for July is 89.1F.

The Hwy 1 which is seen on the two maps above is actually the South Dixie Hwy.  The locals call it "the Stretch."  That highway --- that "stretch" --- travels over Surprise Lake, into Key Largo.  Then it suddenly becomes the Overseas Highway.  If you go south on the Overseas Highway for 98 miles, you will arrive at Key West.  

And of course, the ocean water between Cuba and Florida is the Straits of Florida.  That water is quite different than ye olde estuary shoreline runoff water.

Quick lesson:  Estuary water is actually where river water meets an area subject to the tides; where river water becomes effected by tidal action --- and where river water mixes with salt water.  

The bottom line here is that the true ocean water temperature in the area was 15 or so degrees Fahrenheit LOWER than what was claimed by media anchormen & women who are basically clueless and uneducated in matters of atmospheric science and oceanography.

Note:   The source of this article includes the temperature data from the United States' own NCEI-NOAA.  A reference link to that government entity is posted below, at the very end of this post.

One more preliminary statement, to show the hypocrisy of Climate Hysteria Activists

It's now said that fresh water run-off from the Florida Everglades and elsewhere must stop, or else the Atlantic Ocean's Gulf Stream will have reduced saltiness and will then stop moving --- at least beginning at the 45th Parallel.  This includes the temporary & seasonal ice melt run-off of Greenland.  Okay then, explain to me how the Climate Hysteria activists are in a state of cricketed silence on the following:

During every second of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year of every decade of every century, for thousands of years:

4 MILLION GALLONS of fresh Mississippi River water has been flowing into the Mississippi Delta and emptying itself into the salty Atlantic Ocean.  How do you explain that the Gulf Stream has been flowing sufficiently and effectively throughout millennia, despite the massive fresh-water contribution made to it every minute for the last 4,000 years?  What is the point in stopping Everglade run-off water, while a much more massive amount of fresh water flows into the Atlantic Ocean hourly?

Concerning the 4 million gallon claim, if you don't believe it, then you need to see:

https://a-z-animals.com/blog/4-million-gallons-per-second-and-7-other-incredible-facts-about-the-mississippi-river/

The Amazon River discharges approximately ten times more fresh water into the Atlantic Ocean.  In fact, the Orinoco River discharges almost twice as much fresh water into the Atlantic Ocean as does the Mississippi.

Moreover, the Uruguay & Parana Rivers eventually flow into the Atlantic via the Rio de la Plata Estuary.   The Congo River (of Zaire) has twice the discharge flow into the Atlantic that the Mississippi does, and the Ganges River is slightly stronger than the Congo River.  

The Yangtze River has 1.5 times the discharge flow of the Mississippi.  The Yenisei River is as powerful as the Mississippi, as it's the 5th longest river and the largest one to drain into the Arctic Ocean.  Moreover, the Lena also drains into the Arctic, and it's the longest river within Russia.  

Then comes the Saint Lawrence River and its discharge of fresh Great Lakes waters into the North Atlantic Ocean.  Yet, scientists complain of season ice melt and discharge of a Greenland which is mostly frozen.  Also comes the phenomenon of Arctic waters being super cooled, meaning that such water doesn't freeze, even at 31F, 30F, and 29.7F.  All of the aforementioned makes the Greenland ice melt contribution to the Atlantic extremely insignificant.  Think:  The Saint Lawrence & the Mississippi, along with the Lena & Yenisei, and even the Ob River (of Siberia.).  

In Review ... restated ... for victims of the American Public School System who were not taught to think, but to rattle of bumper sticker slogans mindlessly.

In July of 2023, it was reported that coastal ocean water near Southern Florida reached "the possible record-breaking temperature" of 101F ... or at least 100F.  Stop.  Big lie.  Penalty Marker Time.   Let's get this correct, for the sake of a constantly deceived public.

To start, the actual time when this 101F thermometer reading was alleged to have occurred was July 24th or so.  Available herein are the official coastal water temperature stats for July 28, compliments of the NCEI-NOAA.   

Now, as a preview: The actual coastal ocean water temp at the time was 86 degrees Fahrenheit.   Next:

[1a] The water that was measured was NOT ocean water.  It was NOT "coastal water."  It was estuary water, located between two pieces of land, and NOT located out in the ocean.  The water which was measured (via buoy) is extremely close to the Florida Everglades, on its northwest ... and Florida Bay on it's west southwest.  This translates into marsh water which can be as hot as a sports team's whirlpool in the training room.  And we are talking about a very shallow water basin.

[1b] In other words, the water measured was Everglade Runoff Water, and a few years ago --- I think it was in 2017, if memory serves me correctly --- that same water measured at 102F.  Yet, nobody was squawking, running out into the streets, screaming that it was the End of the World.  None the less, the water there is very shallow and the area involved is the border between marsh water and salt water.

[2a] Now, the general area involves water that runs through "the Taylor Slough," into the Florida Bay.  The slough, incidentally, was designed to provide water to the Florida Everglades which are located on the Southwestern tip of the state.  

[2b] Also involved is a manmade canal that was built in 1968 and then recently altered.  It's known as the C-111 Canal; the C-111 "Spreader" Canal.  It was originally designed to send water through the Everglades, followed by the water running off at the southern border of Florida.  Next came the decision to prevent fresh water from rolling off into the Atlantic Ocean as much as is possible.  That resulted in the C-111 "Spreader" project which is completely pointless in light of the fact that the Mississippi River, at New Orleans, unleashes 4 million gallons of FRESH (unsalted) water into the salty Gulf of Mexico per second.  

[2c] This is why it is such hypocrisy for Climate Hysteria Salesmen to obsess people with the seasonal "ice melt run-off from Greenland" (into the Atlantic Ocean), all the while claiming that it's going to cause a Siberian England, the halt of the Atlantic Ocean, and the End of the World.  

[2d] Incidentally, in order to get the Atlantic Ocean to stop flowing, you must stop the rotation of the Earth.  Plus, you must then rid Planet Earth of either all low pressure systems or all high pressure systems.  That is to say, in order to get the Atlantic Ocean to stop moving, you must stop the winds from blowing, as well as stopping the Earth from rotating.  Do you yet see how incredibly asinine the Climate Change activists & politicians are?  They are literally a danger to society, whenever they are in power.

[2e] In addition, the same Southern Florida Everglades Region is quite close to the Dixie Highway which suddenly becomes the Overseas Hwy, upon crossing a bridge.  That highway literally takes you to Key West.  Locals call the Dixie Hwy "the Stretch."

[3a] As far as goes real coastal ocean water in the area which is measured regularly for its temperature, the two nearest places would undoubtedly be Vaca Key and Duck Key.  Now, the temperature of water changes much slower than does air above land.  After all, water has much more heat capacity, and this particular topic is for another post.  None the less, as of July 28, 2023 (July 29 in Coordinated Universal Time), the ocean water temperature near Vaca Key was 86.0F.  The July average there is 89.1F.  At Duck Key, the ocean water was 84.9F, and it's July average is 87.4F.  This was three or four days after the super bogus & hysterical climate news report.

[3b]  Concerning the keys, the northern area is mostly coral.  The southern sector is mostly sandbar.  There about 1,500 to 1,700 islands in the Florida keys.

[4] During this time, the ocean water surrounding the United States' southern states predominately ranged in temperature between the low-to-mid 80s Fahrenheit and 90F.  In one rare section near Texas, it rose to 94.1F, and that's it.  Later in the month was a 94.1F off of Louisiana, and that was it.  Nothing else higher.

[5] So, the July 2023 reality is this:  During the general time span when the ocean water temps were said to have reached 101F, they actually were 3.3 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE in one nearby area of coastal water, and 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW AVERAGE in another nearby section of the Atlantic Ocean.  All in all, that area which was said to have been 101F was actually 14 to 16 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW 101F.  It wasn't even close to what the Climate Hysteria Media claimed.  

This is yet another piece of evidence which shows that the "Global Warming," "Climate Change," "Climate Crisis," "Global Boiling" activists are lying con artists . . . of very low intelligence.  They are of very low intelligence, because it is soooooo easy to catch their lies and con games.  Concerning the fact that all Florida coastal water temperatures were very much BELOW 100F, see for yourself, below:

Below is the July 28th report.  If I had learned of the 101F temperature report sooner, I would have gone to the NCEI tally board sooner.  

To the righthand side of the government chart (above) are the monthly averages.  This photocopy is "truncated."  It was cut at the righthand side, after the July monthly average column.  At the righthand side of each row's blue-tinted temperature number is the average temp for Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, and July.  Aug to Dec was cut-out, for convenience.  

All in all, the hottest temp in the Southern Florida waters at the time was 89-90F, around Key West, Florida.  Nowhere was it anywhere near 101F.  As far as goes as any ocean temperature being in the critical end-of-the-world-and-we-are-gonna-die-tomorrow stage:  Nada.  Niente. Give-me-a-break. Take-a-hike, you-tax-dollar-thieves.

Now, if you want to see all of the coastal ocean water temperatures around America ... and their monthly average temps for each month ... go to the following site.  There is where you will be able to see if the "Climate Crisis" & "Global Boiling" activists are honest people or a bunch of deliberate liars, in quest of fraudulently gained U.S. taxpayer funding and deceptively gained NGO grants:

There was NO once-in-a-thousand year storm in April of 2025, and NYC did NOT break any rainfall record in 2023.

As an introductory Reality Check, there were tragic storms in America in early April 2025.  But, there was no "once-in-a-thousand-year storm" during that four-day time span.  America's worst storm & subsequent flooding was Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, where 500 died.  The flooding actually began in 1926.  Yet, the Yangtze Flood of 1931 was far more deadly and disastrous.  In fact, the Yangtze Flood of 1935 resulted in approximately 145,000 dead and millions of people displaced.  

There was even disastrous flooding in 1887, concerning the Huang He (Yellow River), where at least 930,000 people died.  And let us not forgot the most powerful tornado outbreak in American history.  This happened in the first week of April, in 1974.  It resulted in 148 tornadoes in 13 States.  There were a number of similarly disastrous tornadic outbreaks in America.  Thus, the events of April 2025 didn't make the list for once-in-a-thousand-year epic storms.

Add to the list of historic disasters the August 1975 Banqiao Dam Failure, in central eastern China.  That was when 62 dams and 5 million houses collapsed.  As far as goes weather in very recent years, it was in September of 2023 when Libya's Derna Dam collapsed during Mediterranean Storm Daniel. There were 39 MILLION cubic yards of water unleashed upon a nearby civilization.  In the end, 5,923 people were confirmed dead, with an overall casualty estimate of 14,000-24,000 assumed dead.  

NYC in 2023 did NOT have any statistic anywhere close to those of the Yangtze, the Huang He, America in April of 1974, Derna in 2023, or even the Mississippi River in 1927.  It was the typical hyper-exaggerated propaganda of the Demented Joe Biden Years.
  
Above:  September 29, 2023, at 5:00 pm.  Posted pursuant to the U.S. Fair Use Act (17 USC Sec 107)
Now, the April 2-5 weather events of 2025 were not a minor occurrence.  But, it wasn't rare, either.  That type of tornado outbreak has happened recently and repeatedly.  It was nothing new.

In matter of fact, there was a similar tornado outbreak one year prior, in 2024.  There was also one such outbreak in 2023 which involved the formation of blizzard conditions in America's Northern Midwest.  These tornadic outbreaks are not once-in-a-millennium events.  They literally have been once-every-year events.  They have been a part of current events in America, for decades.   All in all, there has been no weather event in America, in 2025 or 2024 or 2023, which did not already happen previously, over and over and over again.

April 2025 in review

As far as goes the recent death toll in April of 2025, it was 23 people.  Now, one death is significant.  But, you cannot rightfully compare 23 deaths throughout a multiplicity of American States to 145,000 Yangtze Flood deaths ... or to 930,000 Huang He River deaths ... or to 24,000 dam disaster deaths ... or even 5,923 confirmed deaths in one Libyan city, in 2023.  Thus, the claim of a recent "once-in-a-thousand-year storm" is lying propaganda from people who still think that billions of American taxpayer dollars will continue to be tossed out to manipulative activists like confetti in a ticker tape parade. 

New York Propaganda, 2023

1 of 3} The media kept calling it the "record rainstorm."  It was now the new normal caused by the burning of fossil fuels.  The reality is that it was caused by El Nino's predictable effect on the Atlantic Ocean.  It was the New York City rain of September 28 & 29 (2023), and it was the result of the remnants of a sub-hurricane phase cyclone, called a tropical storm.  The tropical storm's name was Ophelia.

2a of 3} The New York State rainfall record is 13.57 inches in 24 hours of time.  That event occurred on August 12-13, 2014 (nine years ago), at Islip, New York.  The notable feature of that 2014 rainstorm was that five inches of it came down in one hour's time.  

2b of 3} The highest recorded rainfall amount for the recent September 29th (2023) rain storm was 8.64 inches.  This occurred at JFK International Airport.   Now, 13.57 minus 8.64 =  4.93.  Therefore, the  24-hr rainfall total for Friday, Sept 29, 2023 was 4.93 inches BELOW that of the New York State record.  It was 36% lower than the 2014 rainfall.  Furthermore, the Sept 29th rainfall was also below the 24-hr rainfall record of 44 American states.   Thus, it was no major Doomsday event in any capacity.

Intro 3 of 3} Keep in mind that 2023 was an El Nino year and that El Nino carries with itself the power of wind shear.  In 2023, Hurricane Lee was the prime example of El Nino's wind shearing power.  Tropical Storm Ophelia was not immune to El Nino, as well.  Being that physical matter can neither be created nor destroyed, the water formerly carried by Tropical Storm Ophelia had to go somewhere in the physical universe.

Time for a Reality Check 

The irony at hand is that, on September 29th, Islip NY received only 1.13 inches of rain.  That amounts to 12.44 inches LESS THAN Islip's record-setting rain day of 2014.  In addition, the distance between Islip and the JFK International Airport is 29 miles.  Thus, the "Great New York City Rainfall of September 2023" wasn't that widespread of an event, when you count area ... when you count square miles or even square kilometers.

At this point, compare NYC in late September 2023 to [1] Alvin Texas' (Houston area)  42 inches, in 1979 ... [2] Massies Mill Virginia's 27.35 inches, in 1969 ... [3] Hackberry Louisiana's 22 inches, in 1962 ... [4] Kauai Hawaii's 49.69 inches, in 2018 ... [5] South Port North Carolina's 23.56 inches, in 1999 ... [6] Saco Maine's 19.19 inches, in 1996 ... [7] Hogees Camp California 25.83 inches, February 1943 ... [8] Dauphin Island Alabama's 32.52 inches, in 1997 ... [9] Americus Georgia's 21.1 inches, in 1994 ... [10] Hurricane Jean's effect on Florida, in 1980, to the tune of 23.38 inches.  

Let's do the One-Picture's-Worth-a-Thousand-Words thing, with the following photo

The photo below --- which happens to be posted pursuant to the U.S. Fair Use Act --- is said to be that of New York City, on September 29, 2023.  Yet, it looks similar to a part of Chicago I used to drive-through.  None the less, in the grand scheme of existence, NYC did have above-average rain, for a day or two, this past September.  But, it did NOT have anything epic or legendary.   Yet, the Climate Hysteria People were using this very temporary event as a part of their propaganda.

In light of the present-tense weather propaganda, can you see what's blatantly wrong with the photo below?  Can you see what's wrong, in light of that fact that the photo was posted to show "massive NYC flooding?"  
Well, look at all the cars and trucks in that photo, other than the dark blue one on the righthand side which is submerged in water, almost up to its headlights.  Other vehicles in that same photo are not underwater, except for maybe an inch or less of rain water.  Other vehicles there are not underwater, at all.  Plus, there is the four inches of rain water covering the tire sidewalls of the red pickup truck in the center of the photo, making a splash as it makes a lefthand turn.   Yet, you could still see the license plate on that pickup truck.  This means that the water was not at a high level.

You can also see the license plate on the white VW located directly behind the dark blue car.  You can also see the VW's rear bumper and rear tires.  It's certainly not submerged in rainwater.  

The row of vehicles on the lefthand side of the photo are not underwater, either . . . except for maybe a quarter-inch of rain.  There is even a human being on the street, on the righthand side of the photo --- near a row of parked cars ---  who is NOT submerged in rainwater.   She is standing somewhat near those two white SUV's in the background --- a car width or two away from the two white SUVs which are not at all submerged in rainwater.  In fact, the cars parked behind the white VW --- on the righthand side of the photo --- are also NOT submerged in any rainwater.  So, what's the big deal here?

All in all, the terrain that was photographed was entirely uneven, and publishing such a photo as something indicative of NYC on September 29 was & is entirely DISHONEST.   Not much is underwater in that photo, when you look at the background of it ... and everywhere else on the photo. The general rule is that, if you can still see the license plates on most of the vehicles in a photo, then you're not looking at much of a flood.  New York City is not Venice, Italy.  So, quit acting like it is.  

This is amazingly petty, when comparing September 29th to real floods.  Yet, schoolchildren are told to fear such incredible pettiness.  Real floods are the He Huang Floods of 1887, 1931, and 1938.  Epic floods include the Saint Mary Magdalene Day Flood of 1342 (which see) and the Saint Elizabeth Day Flood of 1421.  They also include the Saint Lucia Day Flood of 1287 which killed 50,000 to 80,000 people in the Netherlands.  Epic floods do NOT include the September 29th, 2023 New York City rain.

BTW, the Catholic Church calendar had a number of saint's memorials each day, for each of the 365 days of the year.  Thus, a weather disaster would be named after the most famous memorialized saint of the day.  So, don't get superstitious over the fact that every weather disaster in the Medieval Period and Renaissance Era was named after a saint.  It was a way to tell time ... to keep time ... to record time ... to archive events.   Let us continue: 

New York City did NOT have anywhere near the rain that fell during the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 --- or the 71.8 inches of rain that fell on Reunion Island, in 1966.  But, it was above-average rain, for NYC.   For example, in an approximate 36 hour period, Brooklyn got 7.34 inches of rain.  Midtown Manhattan got 6.09 inches.  Central Park received 5.80 inches, and Harlem got 5.21 inches of rainfall.  And, as was previously mentioned, JFK International Airport received 8.64 inches, and 4.82 inches of rain fell on La Guardia Airport.  

The "record breaking rain" of September 29 only broke a few LOCAL RECORDS.  At the least, New York City schools should have been shutdown for that day, for the safety of schoolchildren & teachers.  

The Climate Con Artist Photo Gallery

That photo is reminiscent of a certain CNN reporter who walked into a water-filled ditch, up to his waste, in order to deceive people into believing that the town he was visiting was still flooded.

It's also reminiscent of a certain Weather Channel reporter making it look as if the wind was blowing him over, while two youths suddenly entered the scene (on the street behind the reporter), walking very casually, showing that it was not windy at that moment, at all.  None the less, the Climate Change People ... and the news reporters ... have become a gang of fictional actors.  They have become a cast of liars.

All in all, 8.64 New York City inches of rain is not going to make the cut, in the grand scheme of things.  So, you can quit claiming that the "burning of fossil fuels is drowning New York City." 

BTW, the flood water of the Great Mississippi Flood reached a depth of 30 feet.  New York City in 2023 didn't compare to the American Midwest in 1927.

And then there was the matter of the Great Flood of July 1916 which devastated North Carolina.  Again & again, we see that the NYC September 29th, 2023 rainstorm was inconsequential chump change in comparison to a number of other rainstorms and/or floods which actually did bring devastation to such an extent that the lives of numerous people would never be the same again.  

Adding the September 29, 2023 NYC rain to the list of epic rainstorms is an intense insult to human intelligence.  In as much, as far as would go the quintessential "thousand year flood," the candidates would include [1] the Mary Magdalene Day Flood of 1342 (which see), as well as [2] the 1887 Yellow River Flood (China).   

Add to the equation the flood & famine the Year 1315.  Such events were major league floods which occurred when co2 levels were very very low.  The years of sheer tragic climate disaster included 1274, 1281, the 1300s, the Tudor Drought Days of 1540, 1588, the 1600s, the great hurricanes disaster of 1780, the Potato Famine, numerous Medieval & Renaissance famines, numerous Medieval & Renaissance droughts, as well as the Plague years.  

The one-thousand year period before the Industrial Revolution were NOT centuries of mild weather.  There were numerous epic climate tragedies throughout that time span.  The NYC Rain of September 29, 2023 was NOT an epic event in any category.

The "record NYC rain" of Sept 29 didn't  surpass  very many states.  It did NOT even surpass the numbers of its own State of New York.  The media has to hyper-sensationalize everything and terrify schoolchildren in the process.

The Heat Island Effect & Asphalt: Absorbing solar radiation at the surface

Chicago:  The huge asphalt maze.  Yet, I stood outside here, during -7F and -11F Arctic Nights.

From the telescope data analysts:   The Earth's lower Tropospheric temperature anomaly for July 2022 was +0.36C.  (Anomaly means deviation from the normal.)  The commercial media placed July 2022 in neon-lights, and then proceeded to put it in a false light.

Of course, the multiple temperature measurements of the lower Troposphere aren't the proverbial tale of the tape.  When  it comes to monitoring the atmosphere for the presence or absence of actual Global Warming, the following rule applies:

"If there is no temperature increase in the Middle of the Troposphere, then there is no Global Warming." 

Moreover, there is a difference between surface temperatures and air temperatures.  None the less, we now direct our attention to surface temperatures in the modern world, being that it can be a health issue, as was the repeatedly tragic case in France, during 1976, 2003, & 2019.

The middle of Earth's Troposphere is approximately 30,000 ft in height, except for the Poles where it's half as high.

So, what is providing the added heat to the cities during Summertime?

ANS:  The great solar radiation absorber, asphalt.  More specifically, the Heat Island Effect and/or Heat Sink Effect.  So, add to the effect the heated exhausts of air conditioning units.

~Now, the July 2022 hype about London has been easily proven a farce, in light of the fact that the 610 sq mile area known as Greater London has been having almost half the fires it experienced in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as far less the number of fires that transpired in the mid-1960s.

~The Southwest of the United States is a desert and does have a history of naturally occurring long-term droughts. 

~Lake Superior had near record cold temperatures during July 2022.  See:  Lake Superior near record cold in July 2022

~Throughout South America, there has been record cold in 2022, including the coastal nation of Uruguay.   Throughout South America in 2022, there has been record heat, including the coastal nation of Uruguay. 

~Patagonia (the Southern half of Argentina) was reported as having record heat in 2022. The same Patagonia was reported as having had record cold in 2022.   This is when you toss up your hands and say, "What's the point?"  

Okay.  Time-out, for a Review

The Year 1936 had the hottest Summer in the known history of the United States, and according to NASA, 1934 was the worst drought in 1,000 years.  This was when co2 levels were 310 ppm, meaning that they were 108 ppm LOWER than today.

The highest temperature ever recorded on Planet Earth was recorded in 1913, at Death Valley's Furnace Creek, California.  It was 134F there, and co2 was 301 ppm at the time.   That was 117 ppm less than today.  

The longest heat wave of consecutive 90+F days transpired in New York City in 1953, for 12 consecutive days.   The co2 count at the time was 313 ppm.  This amounts to 105 ppm LOWER than today.  So, where is the causation (or even the correlation) of co2 levels in the surface temperature records?  ANS:  It went out the door.

In fact, the second most severe heat wave & drought was the Great Tudor Drought of 1540-41.  This occurred when co2 was at pre-fossil-fuel levels.  

Meanwhile, the Great Drought of the American West occurred between 1276 and 1299 C.E, when co2 levels were as low as they were during the Roman Empire years of carts, chariots, and cavalry units.  Thus, co2 is not lighter fluid.  Nor is it a Roman Candle, pun intended.

The 16th, 17th, & 18th Centuries, as well as the first half of the 19th Century were centuries of turbulent --- and then scorching --- and then flooding --- climate conditions.  Add crop failures and ice stacking to the list, as well as the Thames River Frost Fairs.  And then came entire military fleets being decimated in massive sea storms, during that time span

All in all, it is a complete lie to claim that the past 1,000 years were years of mild weather.  The entities pushing this lie should be sued for fortunes worth of compensation.   After all, why do you think Northern Europeans and American colonists were putting woman after woman to death, for witchcraft?   Well, it had to do with the outrageously unsettling weather.  But, it had nothing to do with fossil fuels.  People in NORTHERN EUROPE thought that witches were changing the weather for the worse.

Despite the long historical records which do show that there's NOT a historical correlation between co2 levels and surface temperatures, the climate change marketeers will always claim that the hottest and worst weather had transpired last month --- and that we're all gonna die in the next 5 to 10 years, if we don't drastically reduce co2 levels now. 

This is the Five & Dime Store Doomsday Script, and it has been ongoing since June 1988.  It's beyond tiring to hear this, due to the repetitively failed doomsday predictions of the past 34 years which keep being predicted anew, with the designated dates of doom being pushed back to the next 34 years.

It's definitively true that the predictions of climate doom never came true.  After all:  {1} the Maldives are very much above water with financially fit Arabians enjoying the premises.  {2} No coastal city has gone even halfway underwater.  {3} Your shoes are still dry after walking throughout Lower Manhattan, and {4} You still can't go water skiing in the Summertime Arctic Ocean without you crashing into 1.3 million to 1.9 million square miles of ice.

And remember, the Global Warming, End-of-the-World hysteria was ratcheted-upwards only because Joe Biden took up residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.  It's an advertising gimmick.  After all, in 2021, throughout Biden's first year, fanatical doomsayer announcements were repeatedly being published.

Moreover, neither China nor India nor often frigid Russia are going to try to reduce co2 levels.  Even if you wiped North American off the map, the co2 levels would still rise pursuant to Chinese, Indian, and Russia industrial output.  So, nagging and punishing Americans would NOT work, if it mattered that co2 levels were rising.

The Climate Change Pitch is a Sales Pitch

As a note, American sales managers teach their new employees that, when you are trying to make a sale, you are to create a sense of URGENCY in the prospective buyer.  So, climate change activists are simply trying to make a sale.  However, American workers who spent decades working outdoors don't buy the Climate Change hysteria.  They are experienced in experiencing all sorts of climatic conditions.  And they realize that climate per se is ......... cyclical.

It even got to the point where the Climate Change salesmen blamed snow on man-made co2 and Global Warming.  As I previously explained, a water molecule will stay in the atmosphere for approximately NINE days.  Any January snow storm that comes 182 days after a humid July heatwave is NOT caused by that July heatwave.  And concerning the oceans warming, the majority of ocean water is dark & 39F.  That's all.

It's now the Summer of 2022.  A hundred years prior were news reports of a detailed Arctic meltdown.  The heat of the prior year, 1921, was a contributing factor.  

Other dreaded heat years near that time span included 1871, 1878, 1895, 1896, 1901, 1911, 1913, 1922, 1931, 1934, 1935, and 1936, as well as 1947, 1988, 1998, 2012, and 2016.   All in all, climate is cyclical.  To claim today to be far worse than decades prior can be easily disproved.  Let's take China's weather history as an example.

In the "table" of China's worst natural disasters, six are Earthquakse.  They are NOT applicable in this discourse.  There are two epidemics which don't apply, unless a melting Arctic Circle is involved.  This leaves us with 17 natural disasters.  

View the year of each disaster, and take account of the much smaller atmospheric co2 content than exists today.  Then take note of the death tolls, and remember what the U.N. stated in September 2021.  The Chinese death tolls contradict what news writers and certain U.N. people were claiming.  Chinese disaster years included 1906, 1909, 1911, 1922, 1930, 1935, 1939, 1949, 1954, and 1959 being the most recent intense disaster year.  The co2 levels of these years ranged from 298 to 315 ppm.  This is 102 to 120 ppm lower than today.  This would serve as prove that a rise in atmospheric co2 does NOT automatically cause intensification of disastrous weather events.

This brings the reasonable person's thoughts to the Eleven Year Sunspot Cycle --- which is not to be confused with relatively stable solar irradiance.

We begin with 2022.  Eleven years prior was the July 2011 heatwave marked by high humidity.  The following year was the Drought of 2012.  Therefore, if the Eleven year sunspot cycle has any causation or correlation to it, then 2023 should be another year with a notably hot summertime.  A cooling should be evident in 2025 or 2026, IF ...

Eleven years prior to the 2012 Drought was the 2001 Eastern North American Heat Wave which even saw Nova Scotia reach 95F.  Meanwhile, New York's Central Park reached 103F.  Moreover, the co2 count that year was 371 ppm; 47 ppm LOWER than today.

Eleven years prior to 2001 was the final year of the 1988 to 1990 North American Drought.  The co2 level was 351 ppm; 67 ppm lower than today.  

Eleven years prior to the 1990 drought was 1979. Well, one year after 1979 was the 1980 United States Heat Wave which took 1,700 lives.

Next comes eleven years before 1979, namely 1968.  Well, in 1968, there was the dustfall thunderstorms in 'Britain'; the worst in 200 years.  It comprised a layer of mineral dust that came out of the Sahara and found its way to England, much like the temporary heat of mid-July 2022.  

Also in 1968, there was a January hurricane that made landfall in Scotland.  It reached a speed of 134 mph.  The co2 level at the time was 321 ppm; 96 ppm lower than today.  If that hurricane would have happened this past January, we would never have stopped hearing about it from the Climate Change Activists and the commercial media.  Sirens would have gone off, in concert.

The year prior, in 1967, a heatwave took 70 lives in Mexico City, and Seattle had its longest heatwave, equaling the New York City heatwave of 1953.   

Next comes eleven years before 1968,  namely 1957.  Subtract another eleven years and you also have 1946.  Well, from 1947 to 1957 was Texas' worst drought.  In fact, 1956 was Texas' second driest year on record at the time.   The CO2 level was 310 to 316 ppm during this time frame.  More than 100 ppm less than today.

Also in 1957 was NYC reaching its record high temperature, and Kentucky having a devastating flood, much like in the Year 2022.  History repeats itself.

Eleven years before 1957 was 1946, and it was the year of the Heat Wave in Rome, and the Drought & Famine which hit Moldavia and the Ukraine hard.

Eleven years before 1946 was 1935, and it was especially disastrous a year.  There was the Black Sunday Dust Storm, for starters.  All in all, 1934, 1935, and 1936 were absolute weather disaster years.

The aforementioned things are historic fact.   There is correlation in this Eleven Year Sun Spot Cycle.  But, is there causation to the aforementioned coinciding events?  Or is it just a matter of statistical probability?  Is it simply a matter of there being so many heat waves in history that some of them will land on the 11 year sun spot cycle points.

One lesson to be learned here is that heat waves are a common occurrence of life on Earth.  Heatwaves are everywhere throughout the history of Summertime.  Therefore, the hyper-exaggerating of heat waves today is the act of lying via false light misrepresentation --- the committing of fraud --- bearing of false witness --- being unable to be trusted, ever again.  

 Concerning this, instead of journalists constantly writing, "record breaking heat wave," (in order to intimidate you)  they should be writing how to survive a heat wave.  This shows that they do NOT care about you.  They are trying to push one declarative sentence, concerning co2, disregarding the fact that co2 is the key to Life on Earth ... being that photosynthesis is the key to life and co2 is the key to photosynthesis.

All in all, there are many more factors involved in the making of weather & climate than co2.  CO2 plays a minor role in Earth's heat budget, but it plays the star role in activating PHOTOSYNTHESIS throughout the Earth, even in the Arctic Circle.

And remember, 90% of all Greenhouse Gases, by volume, is WATER VAPOR.  Water Vapor leaves behind ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT.

Southwest U.S.

There is the present saga of the man-made Lake Mead (near Las Vegas) which is dependent upon the man-made reservoir of Glen Canyon Dam which, in turn, was in a more dire situation than was Lake Mead.  So, it was given priority in water acquisition, by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.  It's name is Lake Powell, located in Northern Arizona.

Southern California's Mojave Desert, 2012.   I didn't bring anyone with me into that desert which was 102F at the time.

At this point, let us remember an official statement of the (pre-Biden) United States government: "Drought is a normal climate pattern that has occurred in varying degrees of length, severity, and size throughout history."

The exact same United States government declared that:

"Tree ring archives indicate that agricultural droughts such as those that happened in the United States during the 1930s Dust Bowl era have occurred occasionally over the last 1,000 years, and climate model simulations suggest that droughts that may last several years to even decades OCCUR NATURALLY in the southwestern U.S."   

The other thing that naturally occurs in states such as Nevada and Arizona is MONSOON SEASON.  Okay then.  This brings us to France.

The media is obsessed, due to a severe lack of intelligence, with blaming all unwelcome weather events on CO2, while occasionally mentioning "greenhouse gases" in general.

Meanwhile, the same media never explains what constitutes a greenhouse gas, and the same media surely doesn't have the habit of informing its viewers that the #1 greenhouse gas is Water Vapor which constitutes 90% of all greenhouse gases, by volume ... and which has a zero carbon footprint.  The same media doesn't explain "heat transference," as in the three ways in which it occurs.  The media only conveys hype and bullying.

They don't mention Southwestern Monsoon season on a national scale, so that schoolchildren could be placed at ease. They're emotional terrorists looking for taxpayer dollars, NGO grants, etc.  If there is money in terrorizing schoolchildren, they'll do it.

As I have already illustrated elsewhere in the Blue Marble Album, in the July 2022 London hype, as well as in the July 2021 Biden administration's NOAA hype, a lot of falsehoods are flying through the media and the Internet, about July 2020, 2021, and 2022, as well as Greenland snowfall and the ocean sea level reports.

In fact, NOAA has changed historical graphs, to makes the temperatures of the very hot 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s look much cooler and more mild.  This makes that time span's temperatures look colder and much more mild than today's temperatures, and this is outright criminal fraud.   

This is why I advise everyone who is honest to gather as many newspaper and magazine articles about the blazing heat of the early 20th Century as possible, to show how the present employees of NOAA are literally fraudsters.  Include the newspapers of the 1870s and 1890s.  The newspapers of old are the original Climate Record, and they will serve as evidence to prove the fraud.

Of course, being that opinion polling showed "climate change" to often be the least concern amongst American voters, the climate change salesmen realized that they were engaged in a losing proposition.  So, they had to take the hottest month of the year and hyper-exaggerate it's thermometer readings and yearly wildfires, to make a sale ... all the while altering the past temperature graphs, to make the past look degrees colder than those heat-stricken days actually were.

The man-made-co2 salesmen (aka marketers) repeatedly had to exaggerate July's natural heat to the point of making it sound as if the end of the world were once again five or ten years away --- and that only the climate change marketeers can save you.  

So, what actually is a climate marketeer?  ANS: Someone who puts a price on climate-related activity.  Some of that money gets directed into the activists' pockets.

Well, the media has definitely been serving the climate change salesmen, as if to be their campaign volunteers.  So, go to the old newspaper archives, and make a library of temperature records and weather event reports.  That's how you can save the Truth from being hidden away from mankind for all time.

Of course, dispel from your mind the belief that an amount of CO2 as small as 420 ppm, could ever drive a climate the size of Earth.  After all, it's Water Vapor that comprises 90% of all greenhouse gases ... by volume.  But, why do not college students ever mention Water Vapor in their videos?  None the less, pre-Biden NASA, itself, publicly stated the "SUNLIGHT DRIVES THE CLIMATE."
 
NASA did not include co2 as a driver.  It limited the driver to Sunlight.  So, when you encounter a hot environment in the city or in suburbia or on a military base or at a mall parking lot or at a college campus, think the following:

The heat island effect --- being heavily assisted by asphalt.  It involves Albedo.  Actually, the heat part involves the lack of Albedo.

Albedo is the scattered (the diffused) reflection of solar radiation (aka sunlight) back into outer-space, after making contact-encounter-incidence with some material object on Earth, and doing so without heating that object beyond the percentage of sunlight absorbed by that object.  
 
That is to say, Albedo involves the encountering of a material without heat conduction occurring in the encountering thereof.  Albedo is like a boomerang effect performed with light --- with solar rays.
 
Albedo is measured on a scale from 0 -1, where 1 is the reflecting of 100% of the solar radiation back into outer-space.  The only material object on Earth which can make this happen in 100% completeness is a mirror positioned at the correct angle toward the sun.  Thus, whatever be the other materials on Earth, sunlight is partially absorbed by them and partially deflected from them.   However, the one earthly material that absorbs solar radiation (aka sunlight)  most efficiently is ASPHALT.  It absorbs approximately 95% of the solar radiation that makes contact with it.  That heats things up.

Runners-up in the solar radiation absorption contest include, soils, wet sand, dark clay, grasslands, the tundra, and coniferous forests, as well as black acrylic paint which is equal to new asphalt.
 
This solar radiation absorption will increase surface temperatures  in the cities, at mall parking lots, etc.  Then, when night comes, the heat gets released from the asphalt, etc.  All in all, CO2 has been blamed for causing what is being caused by asphalt and even coniferous forests.

Now, as far as goes Ocean Albedo, it's true that 94% of the sunlight which reaches ocean waves does not rocket back into outer-space.  But, the 94% of sunlight does not entirely get absorbed into ocean water.  If it did, there would be much more of an evaporation cycle and much more flooding on Earth.
 
Now, sunlight at the higher latitudes of the Earth makes contact with the Earth's surface at different angles than at the lower latitudes.  Higher latitudes have too much solar diffusion and do not capture as much sunlight as do the lower latitudes.   Thus, the lower latitudes are warmer and therefore develop the hurricanes which perform the task of heat transfer.  
 
Again, hurricanes are further evidence that the oceans are NOT hording heat.  The oceans are not depositories or vaults for added heat.  In fact, hurricanes can be regarded as substitutes for Albedo that do NOT develop according to sunlight, as Albedo does, but rather develops according to the lessening of air pressure.
 
BTW, the average Albedo for all of Planet Earth is .3 (30%)
 
Incidentally, there are 332,519,000 cubic miles of ocean water on Planet Earth, and as I long since stated, the majority of ocean water is dark and 39F.  So, don't fall for the phrase, "the oceans are all warming 60% faster than originally thought and we're all gonna die."  That was already disproved.  None the less, the 39F temperature is the case for 9,000 vertical feet of the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans ... 7,000 vertical feet for the Southern Ocean ... and 653 feet of the Arctic Ocean.  
 
In as much, another mechanism of heat transfer happens with ocean water, due to the fact that water interfaces with air.  In brevity, it goes as follows:  Firstly, ocean waves create an interface with the air, due to the constant moving of waves and their mixing with air.  This means that the heat budget of any ocean surface interface is dominated by short wave irradiance, as opposed to there being an even exchange of short wave and long wave radiation.  
 
Elsewhere on Earth it's a matter of "shortwave in" (from outer-space) and "long-wave" out (from Planet Earth into outer-space.)   
 
So, an airborne "upwelling" occurs slightly above the oceans, and NOT in the oceans.  This is regarded as Latent Heat.  This process can be regarded as the inversion of heat.  The bottom line is that the oceans are not becoming bathtubs of scalding water, as certain political propagandists are claiming.  The existence of hurricanes prove this to be so.  Hurricanes are heat delivery systems.  Thus, the ocean isn't hording any excess heat, and hurricane make sure that they do not do so.
 
Next comes the ocean winds.  It is always the case, everywhere on Earth, that wind is a matter of high pressure air following (gravitating toward) low pressure air.  Low pressure is equated with warmer and more moist air.   Such air rises until it dries and compresses, it then descends toward Earth.  This is known as convection, and there are massive convection cells on Earth.  
 
This convection caused the existence of the Earth's major deserts being on the 30th parallel of both hemispheres, as well as at the Poles.  Yes, Antarctica is the largest desert on Earth, at 5.5 million square miles.  The Sahara is 3.5 million sq miles.

BTW, it can get really cold in the desert at night, due to "radiational cooling" (which is not to be confused with radiative cooling.)  Radiational cooling occurs when no clouds are present, to keep the heat from rising out of the desert.  In fact, cloudless winter nights are the coldest ones.
 
Concerning this, that which Al Gore and a couple former Russia Today hosts claimed about an Ice Age coming to Western Europe was proven completely false by the Summer heat of 2022.  Yes, the very heat used by TV news reporters as proof of co2-driven Climate Change actually disproved it.  Let us review:
 
The Climate Change marketers' claim was that global warming was causing excessive fresh-water snow & ice to melt off of Greenland, into the Atlantic Ocean.  The Freshwater would then lessen the salinity of the ocean, and would cause the flow of the Atlantic to slow down to point of causing an ice age in England, French, and Spain.  Well, in 2022, France endured the opposite of Ice Age weather.  All in all, the Greenland Freshwater Melt theory is a false one.

And concerning the "rising sea levels," it has been officially reported that the average sea level rise of Planet Earth was 7 to 9 inches since 1880.  That's a 140 year time span.  The yearly sea level rise average that was reported is equal to the thickness of the sides of two American pennies; about 3.5 or 3.6 mm.  Elsewhere come different numbers for yearly sea rise, such as 2.84 mm.  All numbers are quit small, but the essence is in the accumulative effect of ten, twenty, and thirty years.  This is explained elsewhere at the Blue Marble Album.

Back to Heat Island Effect
 
An example of how the heat island effect can become effectively deadly was the 2003 heatwave in France.  France?  How ironic!  Oh yes, I forgot.  Climate is cyclical and history repeats itself.  Incidentally, the other modern-era French climate tragedy was the heatwave of 1976.  You still remember 2019, so that is more current events than history.

Concerning the re-visitation of climate tragedy to France in 2022, remember that Global Warming is a habit.  It's an oft repeating pattern.  Sometimes, there is the emergence of a pattern, but such a thing turns out to be a cyclical one.  None the less, once-in-twenty-year events are not signs of global warming.  The warming in the middle of the Troposphere is.
 

There needs to be a cessation of the demonizing of co2.  Asphalt is a different story, even to the point of adopting the slogan, "Keep the co2, but replace the asphalt" (in reasonable time, after a replacement for asphalt has been prepared --- or by perhaps adding an environmentally friendly material that will lighten the color of asphalt and thereby increase asphalt's degree of Albedo.  After all, aged and grayed asphalt doesn't have the heat absorption power of new asphalt)  
 
However, don't think about adding a dye.  For the record, the early 20th Century research on chemical weapons used the dye industry for their deadly poison inventions.  Miles of molecular agents of that type placed on the major highways of America is social sabotage.  
 
Whatever be the case, literally keep Bill Gates out of the equation.  The guy wants you to eat mold, instead of consuming common dinner ingredients, such as steak, eggs, veggies, grain products, beets, potatoes, dairy products, protein powder, collagen powder, herbal teas, green tea, black tea, grapes, grape leaves, etc.  That one guy is Creep-out City.

None the less, that which the modern cities need the most is anything that will give a large area umbrella effect --- that which  makes large areas of shade.  The thing about the heat island effect in a city is that the heat contacts horizontal material like asphalt lots, and it contacts vertical structures called walls.  That adds to the heat effect.  So, shading, shading, shading does bring down the heat effect upon people enduring the heat.

Would anyone be interested in very large helium cartridge umbrellas that float over city blocks?  Just a thought.
 
Degrees of Albedo
 
~Green grass retains more heat than does desert sand.  Grass will absorb 75% of the solar radiation that lands on it, while desert sand will absorb 60%.  And yes, this fact is counter-intuitive, being that you have no problem walking on grass, compared to the burning sensation you get walking on summertime beach sand.  Therefore, green grass albedo is .25, and desert sand albedo is .40.  
 
So remember ===> Asphalt will retain and detain on the surface of the Earth 20% more heat than will a field of grass ... as in a baseball field.   At night, the heat releases from asphalt.
 
~The albedo of Arctic Ice and glacial ice in the average July is about .70.  Ice will absorb 20% to 30% of sunlight, during the six months when the sun never disappears behind Earth's horizon ... in the Arctic, that is.  In March or April, Arctic ice can have an albedo of .85 or so.  So, do not be deceived into thinking that ice reflects back 100% of the solar radiation into outer-space.

~In addition, the albedo of white clouds is about .80.  Clouds are not a 100% returner of sunlight, either.  Some heat is still retained.

In addition, an average sized cloud weighs over a million lbs. A floating cloud mass is millions of lbs.  This, too, is counter-intuitive, until you realize that millions of pounds of snow fall from those clouds during a substantial snowstorm.  In fact, a lot of atmospheric science is counter-intuitive or outright contradictory.   Atmospheric physics can be intricate, requiring equations in its understanding, just like any other science.  It's not as simplex as Al Gore made it out to be, in one of his absolutely worthless videos.

You perhaps have the general idea of Albedo, by now.   In as much, a lying propagandist looking for government funding, NGO donations, or the instituting of the carbon tax will say to an audience that CO2 drives the climate.  As was previously mentioned, NASA had a different answer.  NASA claimed in public print that SUNLIGHT drives the Earth's climate.    My answer was that the Coriolis Effect and the Tilt of the Earth drive atmospheric climate, while Eckman Transport drives oceanic climate.  Just a thought.
 
Let us repeat.  The pre-Biden NASA managers publicly stated that:
 
"SUNLIGHT drives the Earth's climate."   Therefore . . .
 
You don't have to submit to the Climate Change bullies, even those bullies at the UN who don't belong to nations who landed on the Moon, landed on Venus, landed on Mars, landed on an occasional asteroid, sailed to the BOTTOM of the ocean, operate an Antarctic science research station, created long bridges maintain long tunnels, manage shipping lanes, etc.  The truth is NOT on their side ... not even concerning July 2022.   They are blaming their poverty on the United States and Western Europe and even Japan and South Korea. 
 
They are merely looking for an excuse to obtain sizable amounts of U.S. taxpayer dollars, by creating a sense of guilt in the U.S. taxpayer's mind, claiming that any heat wave is cause by the American automobile driver.  Are you holding back a giggle, yet?
 
Let's review:   You drive a car.  You crash into nobody, yet you killed people by driving your car.  That's the Climate change activists' summary.  Meanwhile, they expect you to take them seriously.
