High Temp Records Fall Around Portland Area, Mercury Climbing Higher Tomorrow

Oh boy, I can't wait.

I hit the wall at work at ten o:clock last night.
It was still in the high 90's even then.
Guzzling Gatorade and water to stay hydrated is all good and well until you wake up five times during the night because you gotta piss like a ruptured goat.
Not getting good sleep on top of working in this heat is kicking my narrow little ass.
Come on Weekend!

Records fall as excessive heat warning continues



PORTLAND, Ore. – An Excessive Heat Warning issued by the National Weather Service continues Wednesday as temperatures are expected to get into the mid-100s in northwest Oregon and southwest Washington.
Portland hit 103 degrees Wednesday and broke the record for August 2, which had been 96 degrees. Nearby Hillsboro (104), Troutdale (105) and McMinnville (105) also broke records.
Salem broke a record with 107 degrees on Wednesday.

Thursday's forecast calls for 106 degrees in Portland, which would also be a record.
The heat warning went into effect at noon on Tuesday and is scheduled to last until 11 p.m. Friday in the Willamette Valley, Coast Range, Cascade Foothills, Cascades, Columbia River Gorge and Upper Hood River Valley.
7-day forecast at a glance
At the Oregon Coast, temperatures soared into the 90s on Wednesday.

Friday could also reach triple digits. The extreme heat will end by the weekend, but temperatures will only fall back to the 90s.
The all-time heat record for Portland is 107 degrees, reached in 1942, 1965 and 1981.

I wouldn't be the least but surprised to see it get that hot where I work, it is basically straight across the river from Troutdale and as you can see up above, a bit hotter too for some reason.

Libtards Up In Arms Again, DOJ Rightfully Calls ' Illegal Aliens, "Illegal Aliens"

Damn, having your ass get chapped every other day must get painful after a while.
No wonder these SJW's are always so grumpy.

Heh, idiots deserve every minute of it too.

In the latest Outrage Du Jour, they are seemingly consternated and constipated by the Department of Justice calling Illegal Aliens, Illegal Aliens.

Not Undocumented, not Unauthorized, Illegal.

Alien is a legal term used to describe people who are living here without citizenship.

Even the On line Dictionary and the Online Thesaurus have gone politically correct I see.


While they do give the definition of illegal alien, they go out of their way to make sure you know that calling people who enter this country in a manner against the laws here or over stay their visa an Alien is butthurt territory and you really shouldn't go there.


Illegal alien, illegal, undocumented, and unauthorized are labels used to describe people unlawfully residing in the United States, whether by clandestine border crossing, visa deadline violation, or other means. But the terms are not interchangeable. Each has a unique origin and connotation.
Alien is a term used in legal language for a noncitizen resident, regardless of whether that person resides in the country legally or illegally. The term in the United States is inherited from British law, and has been a legal designation for foreign-born residents since the Revolutionary era. While the term continues to be used by the Department of Homeland Security and the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement as a technical term in legal documents, it is not preferred in general discourse. As alien is a word that is also associated with extraterrestrial life, it is perceived as dehumanizing when applied to immigrants.
Illegal alien is a designation for unlawful immigrants that was previously widely used, but is now associated with anti-immigration policies and advocates.
Though the adjectival usage of illegal (illegal immigrant, illegal resident) may have an anti-immigration connotation, it is still largely accepted. However, as a noun, illegal is highly offensive. This noun implies deviance or emphasizes the criminality of an individual whose only crime would have been illegal entry into the country or an overstayed visa.

I put that little blurb there at the end there in bold just to point out that by going as politically correct as they possibly could, they still couldn't get around the fact that it is in fact, illegal.
As for calling them illegal and it being highly offensive, someone needs to point out to these knuckle heads that IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE!

Why is that so hard to wrap your head around?


Fuck you people.
Your word salad games are just that and by getting all wound up over it all you are trying to do is cover up the fact that all of these people are in this country illegally and you want everyone to overlook that by labeling it something, "less offensive".

That offends me you jackasses.
Of course my opinion doesn't count because I am an aging white skinned male and a hate mongering radical motherfucker with some sort of imaginary privileges.

Right.

Fuck you people some more.
Really.

There is no end in sight for this stupidity so you will keep seeing these little skirmishes until the day you die but I thoroughly enjoy rubbing shit in the faces of these ignorant cocksuckers so every once in a while I like to lob one at 'em just to stir the pot.

Dumb bastards anyways.

NASCAR Putting Tornado Strength Spin On Declining Sponsors, Fans

Check the spin of this headline and the ugly truth buried at the bottom of this article.


NASCAR cuts weekend schedule to save money, ease travel



LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Kyle Busch usually wakes up around 8 a.m. or so on race day and just waits until he's needed for a meet-and-greet before he slips into the No. 18 Toyota.
But if he's up, he may as well as qualify before lunch. And if he wins the pole, well, he may as well go win the race.
Busch was the biggest benefactor in NASCAR's decision to try a reduced weekend Cup schedule at Pocono Raceway. NASCAR ditched the traditional practice and qualifying sessions on Friday and drivers made their run at the pole just a few hours before the start of Sunday's race. Busch won the pole and won a race for the first time this season.
"I wouldn't mind more days like that," Busch said. "With my Xfinity and Truck efforts getting cut back more and more each year, that's going to be more Fridays at home with my son. That's going to be more fun for us drivers."

NASCAR will try the two-day show again this week at Watkins Glen and Oct. 29 at Martinsville.
Pocono threw an infield fan festival on Friday night and a solid crowd turned out to watch Dale Earnhardt Jr ., Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson, Kurt Busch, Martin Truex Jr., Daniel Suarez and Michael McDowell have fun participating in lip sync battles, cooking showdowns and the like.
Watkins Glen is holding its own fan fest and a country music concert Friday night.
The real benefit to the skinny schedule is that teams can save money and spend more time at home. The cash and days off add up over the course of one of the more grueling schedules in sports. Plus, it's hardly worth it for tracks to open the gates anymore on Fridays to draw a crowd not much larger than a minor league baseball game.

My emphasis.

Here is the real reason.

SPONSOR WOES
Kyle Larson, the top young driver in the sport, lost Target last week as his sponsor in 2018. Kenseth, Danica Patrick, Kurt Busch and Kasey Kahne are among the drivers with uncertain futures because of various sponsor issues. With TV ratings and attendance flatlining, teams are struggling to put together multiyear deals with a committed corporate backer that will fund the program
"I think the traditional model is going to go extinct soon, and it could be argued that it's here right now," 2012 champion Brad Keselowski said. "The traditional model (of just) being a consumer brand sponsor that just wants to see a car out there with their name out it will go extinct in the next couple years. That's not always a bad thing. There's other models that work and have proven to be successful."


Let me clue you corporate whores at NASCAR in to a little secret.

People want to see real racing.

I know, who'da thunk it, right?

We don't like having the rules twisted so that all we ever see are 200 mph parades.

Go back to run what ya brung, let the talent speak for itself and back the fuck away from the feminization of a traditionally male dominated sport targeting a predominantly male audience.




It's that fucking simple you morons.

Yesterday Was A Bit Warm

Today is supposed to be when the real heat wave starts and by Thursday?


Oh boy, I just can't wait.

Scaramucci Out, Already!

I just laughed out loud when I saw this breaking news headline pop into my Email.

Anthony Scaramucci out as White House communications director

MONDAY, JULY 31, 2017, 11:51 AM PDT
Anthony Scaramucci has been removed from his position as White House communications director, according to a person close to the White House.
Scaramucci’s abrupt removal by President Trump comes 10 days after the New York financial executive joined the White House staff.


Ten days.
Is that some kind of new record?
Wait, even better, he hadn't even officially accepted the job?!

Anthony Scaramucci, who was announced little more than a week ago as President Trump's communications director, was ousted Monday before he had even officially taken the job.

John Kelly, the newly sworn-in White House chief of staff, told Scaramucci around 9:30 Monday morning that he was going to be replaced, according to a person close to White House.

In a statement officially announcing the move, the White House said Scaramucci "felt it was best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team."

Scaramucci, a former hedge fund executive who enjoyed the limelight, had come on strong in his brief tenure, highlighted by a profane tirade against colleagues delivered last week to a New Yorker reporter.
The dude was obviously not a good fit for the job from the outset.

After strutting around like a goose and shitting all over everything, he shit in his own nest and then his wife filed for divorce on top of everything else.

I see General Kelly is all over his new job though.


It's Going To Be Hotter Than Fuck Later This Week, 106-110 Degrees Predicted In Portland On Thursday

Depending on which forecast you look at, it's supposed to be hotter than Phoenix Fucking Arizona on Thursday.

One computer model predicted 113 for crying out loud! Thankfully the likelihood of that is slim.

That kind of heat kills people around here, we just don't see that kind of shit.

The latest predictions as of right now are shooting for 106 on Thursday but three or four days of over 100 is not good.

It's quite possible that multiple high temperature records could be broken.

It's going to be a miserable sonofabitch at work either way.

PORTLAND, Ore. – The National Weather Service has issued an Excessive Heat Warning for much of this week as temperatures are expected to get into the 100s in northwest Oregon and southwest Washington.

The warning goes into effect at noon on Tuesday and is scheduled to last until 11 p.m. Friday in the Willamette Valley, Coast Range, Cascade Foothills, Cascades, Columbia River Gorge and Upper Hood River Valley.

7-day forecast at a glance

KGW meteorologist Chris McGinness forecasts a high of 99 degrees on Tuesday, which would tie a record for Aug. 1. McGinness said Portland could get up to 105 degrees on Wednesday, which would be an Aug. 2 record, and 106 degrees on Thursday, which would also be a record.

"For some perspective, the 2009 heat wave brought temps at Portland International Airport over 100 on three consecutive days, including back-to-back 106-degree readings on July 28 and 29," he said. "This week looks similar, and a fourth 100-degree day is not out of the question on Friday."

The all-time heat record for Portland is 107 degrees, reached in 1942, 1965 and 1981.

"Right now it looks like even the coast will get quite hot. Winds will either die down or shift, allowing for at least one day -- Wednesday -- around 90," McGinness said Monday morning. "By Friday, onshore flow should cool the coast back to normal temperatures, but right now it doesn't look like that cooler air makes it inland until Saturday or Sunday."


When this heat bubble heads East then it is going to look like Eastern Oregon and Washington will be under a magnifying glass.
