Amen, AED. I too am old and enduring this heat wave is very hard. I'm in north Florida. But we have to leave the house and we must water plants as they too are being affected by this weather. I get up early to do outside chores before noon, and try not to go out until 7 p.m., it's only 95F but the real feel is closer to 100F. Usually we get this weather in August, but this year it started in May. I hope that by September the temperature will be more moderate.
...maybe we've been looking at it all wrong, folks. Maybe the anti-christ will be a woman (or a man that 'identifies' as a woman...
Many prayers needed for this whole situation. Iran knows that by using our allies they are putting pressure on P. Trump to react. Iran is using its usual modus operandi....taking hostages. And they must suspect that the EU is too weak and so are good targets to use threats like this against them to cooperate in favor of Iran over the U.S. What else can be expected from the world's biggest enabler of terrorism....esp. against Israel?! PARADED FOR CAMERAS First pics inside Brit oil tanker seized by Iran show terrified crew huddled on floor THE first pictures have emerged from inside the British oil tanker captured on Friday by Iran's Revolutionary Guard. One image shows the crew of the Stena Imperio, currently held captive in the Persian Gulf, huddled on the floor and surrounded by makeshift bedding. 17 A picture from on board the Stena Impero shows the crew of the ship after it was captured by Iran's Revolutionary Guard 17 An Iranian soldier on a walkway on board the ship 17 The ship seen from a distance down the barrel of a rifle 17 Footage from Iranian state media showed the crew gathered on board the ship 17 They are seen sat round a table talking and seemingly comfortable 17 Crew members can also be seen on what looks to be the ship's bridgeCredit: AP:Associated Press A pile of shoes can also be seen in the foreground. The picture was taken yesterday and released by Fars News Agency, a news agency with close ties to the Iranian regime. Other images show an Iranian soldier patrolling one of the ship's walkways, and the ship seen from a distance down the barrel of a rifle. Footage from Iranian state media showed the crew inside the ship, sat round a table talking and seemingly comfortable. Members can also be seen working in the ship's kitchen and standing on what looks to be its bridge. HELICOPTER RAID Iran launched a gunboat and helicopter raid on the UK-registered ship last week, claiming the vessel had turned off its tracker and ignored warnings after hitting a fishing boat. Iran's Revolutionary Guard later said on the country's state television that the ship had been boarded for "violating international maritime rules". But Stena Bulk, which owns the ship, said it was in “full compliance with all navigation and international regulations”. The move is widely assumed to have been a retaliation to the British seizure of an Iranian vessel off Gibraltar last week. The Iranian vessel was suspected of breaching an embargo on oil shipments to Syria, but Iran said at the time it would "not leave such evil deeds unanswered". In a letter to the UN Security Council, the UK's deputy permanent representative Jonathan Allen wrote that the British vessel had been in Omani waters with its transponder switched on when it was approached. Stena Bulk said Iranian authorities had told them the ship's crew were in “good health” and being held at Iranian port Bandar Abbas. But in a further taunt to the Royal Navy, Iran last night hoisted an Iranian flag over the vessel. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has called the seizure illegal and said that British shipping “must and will be protected”. 'UK ARE PIRATES' Dramatic footage released on Saturday showed the moment Tehran troops abseiled onto the ship the night before. The clip is thought to have been filmed in the southern port of Bandar Abbas, where jet boats have been sailing around the British ship. It has also emerged Tehran wants to impose a "toll" on all ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, saying it would be used to "protect" the safety of the vessels. Any move to create a toll is likely to be met with hostility as a fifth of the world's oil passes through the strait. On Saturday, state-funded Press TV published an article, entitled "From Piracy to Impotence", criticising British activity in the Gulf. "Diplomatic spats aside, any objective review of the facts will not fail to recognise that in recent events in the Persian Gulf and the Gibraltar Strait, the UK has engaged in illegal, and destabilising, activities on at least three occasions," it said. IF YOU OBEY, YOU WILL BE SAFE Audio has also emerged of radio exchanges before the seizure between Iranian armed forces and a nearby British warship, HMS Montrose. In the recording, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard can be heard telling the Impero: "If you obey, you will be safe. Alter course to 360 degrees immediately, over." After that, HMS Montrose can be heard telling the ship's crew: "This is British warship F236. "I reiterate, that as you are conducting transit passage in a recognised international strait, under international law your passage must not be impaired, impeded, obstructed or hampered." The frigate then asks the Iranian vessel to confirm it is not "intending to violate international law" by attempting to board the tanker, in the recording obtained by security firm Dryad Global. Moments later, Iranian special forces stormed the ship by abseiling down from a helicopter. Penny Mordaunt, the defence secretary, said that HMS Montrose had been an hour away from the Impero, too far to physically stop the seizure. Montrose is the only warship Britain has in the Gulf to cover the 90-mile strait. However, the government has not arranged fixed times at which civilian vessels from the UK could sail through the Strait under the protection of the frigate, as it has done previously to guard against Somali pirates. It can also be revealed that in April Britain withdrew two Royal Navy Wildcat helicopters, which were based close by in Oman and provided surveillance of the Strait for hostile Iranian activity. It said at the time they were “no longer needed”. A nuclear-powered submarine and Royal Marine Commandos could now be sent to bolster Navy defences in the Gulf. GULF CRISIS The moves were discussed at emergency meetings of the Government’s Cobra security committee after Friday’s hijacks. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt warned Iran it was choosing a “dangerous path” with its “totally unacceptable” actions in the Gulf. He said he had spoken to Iran’s foreign minister to voice his “extreme disappointment”. Last night Mr Hunt announced he had raised the maritime threat level to “level three” — or “critical.” The Tory leadership candidate is expected to use a Commons statement today to announce a package of diplomatic and economic measures. NAVY "TOO SMALL" The UK could also push for EU and UN sanctions to be reimposed on the regime after they were lifted in 2016 as part of a deal on Iran's nuclear programme. The UK and the EU have so far shown a willingness to help Iran ease the impact of sanctions reimposed by the US last year after President Trump's decision to withdraw from the deal. Defence Minister Tobias Ellwood today warned the Royal Navy is too small to protect British ships from Iran. He also threatened to freeze the country's assets if it doesn't release the UK tanker. Asked if the drastic move was being considered, Mr Ellwood said: "Cobra was taking place yesterday, so we're looking at the operational responsibilities from that but, yes, we are going to be looking at a series of options."

I've place this report in the "New to Q" thread but thought it also a possible real sign for what could be coming next for this country: Are we now really entering into "the hunters becoming the hunted".....esp. since the Epstein arrest?

Is it only me? ...or has anyone else noticed that the Brits hijacked an Iranian tanker FIRST?! How can the Brits act indignant when they started this carryon?
BEIRUT — British Royal Marines in fast boats and helicopters on Thursday seized a supertanker suspected of carrying Iranian oil to Syria near the Mediterranean peninsula of Gibraltar, the first such detention of a ship under the terms of European sanctions targeting supplies to Syria. The delivery appeared to violate European Union and U.S. sanctions on oil deliveries to the Iran-allied Syrian government. But suspicions that the oil originated in Iran could also aggravate the tensions between Western countries and Tehran that erupted after recent attacks on shipping in the Persian Gulf. The Grace 1 tanker was seized after Gibraltar received information that offered “reasonable grounds” to conclude that the vessel was likely to be delivering oil to Syria in breach of E.U. sanctions on that country, according to a statement from the government in Gibraltar, which is indirectly ruled by Britain. ....... Iran is the only nation known to be seeking to supply oil to Syria in defiance of an E.U. embargo as well as strict new U.S. sanctions targeting oil deliveries to Syria that have contributed to severe fuel shortages in government-held areas of the country. The Reuters news agency said it had reviewed shipping data that suggested the tanker had been loaded with Iranian oil off the coast of Iran. https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...ory.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.996172de1620
So what's next for the Brits? Boris Johnson wins race to become UK’s next prime minister Boris Johnson gestures as he speaks after being announced as the new leader of the Conservative Party in London, Tuesday, July 23, 2019. Brexit champion Boris Johnson won the contest to lead Britain's governing Conservative Party on Tuesday, and will become the country's next prime minister. (AP Photo/Frank Augstein) LONDON (AP) — Brexit hardliner Boris Johnson won the contest to lead Britain’s governing Conservative Party on Tuesday and will become the country’s next prime minister, tasked with fulfilling his promise to lead the U.K. out of the European Union. Full Coverage: Brexit Johnson resoundingly defeated rival Jeremy Hunt, winning two thirds of the votes in a ballot of about 160,000 Conservative members. He will be installed as prime minister in a formal handover from Theresa May on Wednesday. In a brief speech Tuesday meant to rally the party faithful, Johnson radiated optimism, and pledged to deliver Brexit, unite the country and defeat the Labour opposition. “I think we know that we can do it and that the people of this country are trusting in us to do it and we know that we will do it,” he said. U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted his congratulations and said Johnson will be “great.” Trump has been very critical of May’s inability to achieve a Brexit deal and has said Johnson will do a better job. Johnson, a former London mayor, has wooed Conservatives by promising to succeed where May failed and lead the U.K. out of the European Union on the scheduled date of Oct. 31 — with or without a divorce deal. Several Conservative ministers have already announced they will resign to fight any push for a “no-deal” Brexit, an outcome economists warn would disrupt trade and plunge the U.K. into recession. Fears that Britain is inching closer to a “no-deal” Brexit weighed on the pound once again Tuesday. The currency was down another 0.3 percent at $1.2441 and near two-year lows. May stepped down after Britain’s Parliament repeatedly rejected the withdrawal agreement she struck with the 28-nation bloc. Johnson insists he can get the EU to renegotiate — something the bloc insists it will not do. If not, he says Britain must leave the EU on Halloween, “come what may.” Johnson will preside over a House of Commons in which most members oppose leaving the EU without a deal, and where the Conservative Party lacks an overall majority. After Johnson’s win, Michel Barnier, the European Union’s chief Brexit negotiator, said he looked forward “to working constructively” with the new Conservative leader. https://www.apnews.com/6f533afc9bb14c29a1b9e013f270159e
Nice IF it will happen..... Boris Johnson Becomes UK’s Next Prime Minister – It is Now Likely UK’s Activities in Spygate Will Be Revealed Boris Johnson will take over as the leader of the UK after winning the Tory vote overnight. It’s expected that Johnson will work with the US to uncover the origins of the Russia Hoax that took place in the UK. ABC reported this morning – Boris Johnson, the former mayor of London, will become the UK’s next prime minister after winning the Conservative Party leadership ballot. Johnson beat rival Jeremy Hunt with 66 per cent of the vote. The result of the leadership contest was announced at a party meeting in London with Mr Johnson and Mr Hunt sitting in the front row. Johnson will not only oversee the UK’s efforts to exit the EU per its mandate from a few years ago, he also is expected to assist the US in uncovering the UK’s actions in Spygate. We reported more than a year ago that a foreign government did interfere in the US election of 2016 and that government was the UK – not Russia! These pompous pieces of work thought that Hillary would win and they would never be caught. Soon the entire story will be out and Americans will be totally outraged! ........... Rex reported on why the British Ambassador was panicking – Put simply, Darroch’s cables exhibit sheer panic. But why is the UK ambassador melting down? There’s an easy answer, to anyone reasonably well informed : SPYGATE. And a date, looming on the horizon: 24 July, 2019. What’s being hidden from the general public is Darroch’s likely role in SpyGate, Obama & Clinton’s operation to illegally destroy the Trump Presidential campaign and rig the 2016 Presidential election. We will get to that in a moment. But Darroch also knows that a key date is just around the corner, when any hope of his protection from Downing Street will disappear. The date? 24 July, 2019 – the day when Theresa May steps down and a new UK Prime Minister, almost certainly Boris Johnson, takes over. According to Rex, the Brits are busted. Their efforts to upend the US election for Obama and Clinton will soon be in the mainstream. The news is shocking – Put simply, on Obama’s behalf the UK was spying on innocent American citizens within the UK, in particular George Papadopoulos. They were also permitting Obama’s goons to spy on UK soil, by facilitating access, intel gathering and sharing. That’s outrageous enough. What many have not realized yet, however, is that the UK government was likely spying on innocent Americans, within the United States. President Trump gave us a clue how the Royals in Great Britain handled the news that the UK’s Intel committed crimes for the Obama administration. The Queen stood for righteousness while Theresa May can’t be gone soon enough – It now looks like the UK has a new leader and as was predicted, it is Boris Johnson. It’s time to mend US – UK relations that were destroyed during the Obama years! https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...y-uks-activities-in-spygate-will-be-revealed/
More high tensions... South Korea says it fired 360 warning rounds at Russian jets who entered its airspace, Moscow disputes incident By Edmund DeMarche, Danielle Wallace | July 23, 2019 | https://www.foxnews.com/world/south-korea-says-it-fired-warning-shots-at-russia-warplanes Fox News Flash top headlines for July 23 Fox News Flash top headlines for July 23 are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com South Korean air force jets fired 360 rounds of warning shots Tuesday in response to “multiple” Russian military planes that entered into the South's airspace, officials said. Seoul officials said three Russian military planes – two Tu-84 bombers and one A-50 airborne early warning and control aircraft – entered the South’s air defense identification zone off its east coast before the A-50 intruded in South Korean airspace. An unspecified number of South Korean fighter jets, including F-16s, scrambled to the area and fired 10 flares and 80 rounds from machine guns as warning shots. SOUTH KOREA LEADER SAYS TRUMP-KIM MEETING MARKED 'END OF HOSTILE RELATIONS This image released by Joint Staff, Ministry of Defense, shows a Chinese H-6 bomber which they said were flying near the Sea of Japan Tuesday, July 23, 2019. (Joint Staff, Ministry of Defense via AP) South Korean defense officials said the Russian aircrafts left the area three minutes later, but later returned and violated the country’s airspace again for four additional minutes. Again, South Korean fighter jets responded by firing 10 flares and 280 rounds from machine guns as warning shots. Russia quickly disputed the incident, saying that two of its Tu-95MS bombers were on a routine flight over neutral waters and didn’t enter South Korean territory. The Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement that the South’s fighter jets didn’t fire any warning shots, though it said they flew near the Russian planes in what it called “unprofessional maneuvers” and posed a threat. “If the Russian pilots felt there was a security threat, they would have responded,” the statement said, adding: “This is not the first time that South Korean pilots tried unsuccessfully to prevent Russian aircraft from flying over the neutral waters of the Sea of Japan.” 'UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT' FLYING OVER DMZ SPARKING MEDIA FRENZY TURNS OUT TO BE FLOCK OF BIRDS A South Korean defense ministry spokesman told Reuters that Seoul never said the Tu-95 bombers had violated its airspace. He did not directly address the Russian accusation of reckless behavior. The incident could complicate relations between the two nations and raise tension in the region that has for years been overshadowed by hostility between the United States and North Korea. South Korea said it was the first time a foreign military plane had violated South Korean airspace since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War. Acting Russian Ambassador to South Korea Maxim Volkov, left, and South Korean Deputy Minister for Political Affairs Yoon Soon-gu take their seats before their meeting at the Foreign ministry in Seoul, South Korea, Tuesday, July 23, 2019. Yoon on Tuesday summoned Volkov to protest the countries' military jets entering South Korea's airspace. (Kim Sung-do/Yonhap via AP) South Korea's presidential national security adviser, Chung Eui-yong, told top Russian security official Nikolai Patrushev that South Korea views Russia's airspace violation "very seriously" and will take "much stronger" measures if a similar incident occurs, according to South Korea's presidential office. South Korea's Foreign Ministry and the Joint Chiefs of Staff summoned Russia's acting ambassador and its defense attache respectively to protest. Meanwhile, Japan protested to Russia for allegedly violating Japanese airspace and to South Korea for firing warning shots there. Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters that South Korea's firing of warning shots was "absolutely unacceptable" in light of Japan's territorial claims to Korean-controlled islands that Japan calls Takeshima and South Korea calls Dokto. He said Tokyo "strictly objected to Russia and South Korea via separate diplomatic channels and strongly requested the prevention of a recurrence." The Associated Press contributed to this report. *** There are many protests occurring in Russia right now also and when I find a better article (or video) than the following I will post it. I am referring to other protests that are not those discussed in the following article. In any case, for those who follow the prophecies of Alois Irlmaier he stated the following about Russia, "There is a revolution and a civil war." So, there may be the first signs of this occurring in Russia right now. Moscow protest: Thousands demand fair elections 20 July 2019 | https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49057803 Thousands of protesters call for fair elections More than 20,000 protesters have gathered in Moscow demanding free and fair elections in the Russian capital. Protesters are calling for opposition candidates to be allowed to register for the September polls. The authorities have refused to register them despite each candidate gathering the minimum 5,000 signatures needed to be eligible to run. Opposition leaders including the most prominent, Alexei Navalny, joined supporters at the rally. Activists opposed to the government of President Vladimir Putin say the authorities have wrongly declared supporters' signatures invalid. Around 30 candidates were barred from running. Image copyright Reuters Thousands attended the rally in Moscow on Saturday Speaking at the event Mr Navalny told protesters: "We will show them this is a dangerous game. We should fight for our candidates." He vowed that there would be a bigger rally next week unless authorities register a number of candidates for the vote. One candidate, Lyubov Sobol, has been on hunger strike for more than a week, demanding that she be allowed to run.

etoa, I thought that we got our turn already but you were right. NYC got a direct hit yesterday including parts of NJ and LI. I saw on the news today that most of the power that was out yesterday in NYC is now back but in NJ several customers are still waiting for their power to be restored. So this is the second crazy storm to hit the tri-state area in the past 15 days. Actually including the when the remnants of Hurricane Barry hit last week, yesterday's storm makes three crazy storms in the past 15 days. Wild videos capture flooded streets and subways as severe rainfall hits New York City, leaving thousands without power Lauren Frias | July 23, 2019 | https://www.businessinsider.com/sev...k-city-leaving-thousands-without-power-2019-7 Parts of New York City and New Jersey are hit with flash floods during severe rainfall, a stark transition from the heat wave that hit the area just a few days before. WABC-TV reported the rainfall is bringing one to two inches per hour and winds reaching at least 60 miles an hour in some places. The rainfall has prompted lane closures, non-functioning train lines, and power outages for hundreds of thousands of customers. Parts of New York City and New Jersey are experiencing major flooding as a heavy downpour sweeps the region — a stark transition from the heat wave that hit the area just a few days before. WABC-TV reported the rainfall is bringing one to two inches per hour and winds reaching at least 60 miles an hour in some places, eliciting flash flood warnings in both New York, namely Queens, Staten Island, and Brooklyn, as well as parts of New Jersey. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said power outages are affecting over 300,000 customers, and power might not be restored for some customers for several days, WABC-TV reported. Approximately 15,000 people in New York City and over 10,000 on Long Island are also experiencing issues with power. New York State Senator Zellnor Myrie tweeted that many in his district have lost power as well, alongside several subway lines being down and some even leaking. The rain left cars stranded and even halted traffic in some areas due to lane closures. Videos of the flooding shows water levels being higher than the wheels on parked vehicles. One video shows water falling from the ceiling of an underground subway station.

Yes, Carol, we too here across the Delaware from Trenton, NJ, lost power last week when a large tree split and took out 3 poles on our closest side street. And then we lost power again yesterday until early this morning with other area trees down when another front went through, at least bringing lower temps today after a week in upper 90s. God bless all the repair people! If only our lefty pols would ever work as hard or have something as solid to show for their salaries, that would at least help that particular "swamp"!
I was relieved that my son was not in NY for this, he is working out of state for the summer. Talking about wild weather, we certainly had our share on the Massachusetts coast. We had extreme heat, and now 2 days of tornado warnings. One tornado touched down a few miles from our home earlier today causing significant roof, and tree damage. There are thousands with no power. Tornados are very rare here. In fact this is the first time in my life that we had to run to the basement to take cover. I prayed to St.Joseph to protect our home and family, and he came through big time; no damage, and we didn't loose power once. I feel very blessed.
Glad to hear you got through it well, when I saw how bad you were getting hit, I was praying for you! North shore was not bad at all, just wind and rain here.
etoa, Yes, God bless the repair people. I'm glad that you are ok and that your power was restored quickly both times, I hope. Jo, I'm glad that you are ok too. We don't usually have tornadoes here either but there was a small one in our general area about 2 weeks ago. We have been blessed also, we have not lost our power either and have not experienced any damage. Sam, It's great to hear this too.
I have noticed these helicopters! I have seen the usual helicopters, but I saw a pair of them together next. Very unusual. My husband and I saw a very large military copter two days ago. I live about 15-20 miles from Joint Base Andrews, about 20 miles from Patuxent River Naval Air Station, and 45 minutes from the White House. I wondered about this. Thank you.
