Cheezoholic's JournalThe severe weather in the lower MS valley is far from over
The system is slowly strengthening and there is going to be a threat of strong tornadoes in AR, LA, MS and SW TN through sunrise. The timing is what has been most worrisome with this system with a decent potential for strong long track tornadoes in the wee hours while everyone's asleep. Put your weather radios next to your bed tonight. These are the systems that have the potential to be very dangerous.

Heads up NE TX,SE OK, SCentral AR and points east for potential evening tornado outbreak
Cross post from Weather Watchers....
These early spring severe setups can spawn especially intense super cells and the potential is certainly there this evening for these areas. Some links below from the Severe Storms Prediction Center and also Trey Greenwoods excellent youtube channel Convective Chronicles (super weather nerd language alert 
) discussing this evenings setup. This threat will continue into the Tennessee and lower Ohio valleys into tomorrow. We're in an unusual pattern for late winter/early spring so far where things can ramp up quickly. Be safe!

Route to Super Bowl dangerous for Mexico's avocado haulers
SANTA ANA ZIROSTO, Mexico (AP) — It is a long and sometimes dangerous journey for truckers transporting the avocados destined for guacamole on tables and tailgates in the United States during the Super Bowl. It starts in villages like Santa Ana Zirosto, high in the misty, pine-clad mountains of the western Mexico state of Michoacan. The roads are so dangerous — beset by drug cartels, common criminals, and extortion and kidnap gangs — that state police provide escorts for the trucks brave enough to face the 40-mile (60-kilometer) trip to packing and shipping plants in the city of Uruapan.
Truck driver Jesús Quintero starts early in the morning, gathering crates of avocados picked the day before in orchards around Santa Ana, before he takes them to a weighing station. Then he joins up with other trucks waiting for a convoy of blue-and-white state police trucks — they recently changed their name to Civil Guard — to start out for Uruapan.
*snip
It was an attempt by Michoacan growers to put behind them last year’s debacle, when the U.S. government suspended inspections of the fruit in February, right before the 2022 Super Bowl. The inspections were halted for about 10 days after a U.S. inspector was threatened in Michoacan, where growers are routinely subject to extortion by drug cartels. Some Michoacan packers were reportedly buying avocados from other, non-certified states and trying to pass them off as being from Michoacan and were angry the U.S. inspector wouldn’t go along with that.....
*snip
Exports resumed after Mexico and the United States agreed to enact “measures that ensure the safety” of the inspectors.
“This season we are going to recover the confidence of the producers, growers and consumers. By increasing the export production, we hope to send 130,000 tons this season,” the governor said.

Weismann and Katyal TFG WILL BE INDICTED in GA. Strongest language yet from them
on Lawrence last night with Weismann going so far as saying he is now in the "prediction business" and setting the 24th of this month or right after as the date. Weismann also reiterated the point that TFG, if convicted on any state charges, cannot ever receive a federal executive pardon.
Katyal agreed that the indictments in GA will be quickly forthcoming and followed up that along with the expected GA indictments as read "in the tea leaves" presented by DA Willis' investigation progress yesterday it will, in his opinion, provide the final piece in the foundation necessary for Jack Smith to begin bringing Federal indictments and he expects them along side the GA case. I might add Katyal has been one of the legal scholars to be more openly critical of the length of time some of this has taken.
Also after that exchange with LD they go on to absolutely annihilate the fantasy of the new House majority to try and subpoena the DOJ in any attempt to investigate ongoing DOJ investigations. Both reminding all of us that any action as such would be a direct violation of the separation of powers and the act has been tried before and the DOJ would have standing in refusing any such subpoenas. Katyal almost dared them to try and said even this SCOTUS would prevent them from doing so if need be. He said it quite forcefully, for him anyway lol.
I have never heard either of these distinguished gentleman speak with this much certainty on charges being brought, finally, against this pathetic excuse for an American. Both have always chosen their words carefully stopping just short of implying certainty in this matter until now. I was very, and pleasantly, surprised. Their comments combined with the fast actions and recent subpoenas by Smith since his return from Europe along with the completion of duty and adjournment of DA Willis' investigative Grand Jury in GA and the re-opening of false elector investigations today in MI make me feel more confident than ever the Justice train for this fuck and his slimy cohorts is now rolling full steam ahead and these indictments will happen very very soon.
I'll also add MSNBC didn't add any of this interview to their collection of youtube clips from their shows on their youtube channel. None of this was even in their usual condensed show re-cap. They just showed discussions of the classified document no story crap. Very disappointing. So I included the clip below with, at least for me, the most important political news discussion yesterday, maybe in a good while.
For the impatient 17:25 - 26:30 is the pertinent discussion and then they and Moss put a fork into the classified document malarkey(
) to end the clip.
Why is it when Dems hold the house only, they are portrayed as weak and defeated
yet when the fascists have the house only, especially such a slim margin, its dooms day. I dont get it. These idiots can parade their shit show all they want for 2 years but they won't be able to codify any of it via the Senate and Executive.
I would argue they are as weak as their so called speaker and WE are working from a point of strength.
They can't "damage" the house, those are just rules that can be revoked in 2 years. Sure they can investigate the color of Bidens underwear if they want but c'mon, these dipshits are just going to end up pissing the American people off to no end IMO.
We also need to remember, we only need to get 6 at most repukes to sign off on or stop any legislation for the next 2 years. 6 out of 218, not 20 or 30 or 40 or more as in past congresses. 6 at most, thats it. Even on the debt ceiling. Remember house members by nature are sausage grinders. They answer to a myriad of billion dollar companies especially repukes. those in tight districts will need to be especially careful when it comes to giving or cutting money, which is the strongest leverage the house has. But even that, as we ourselves have found out in the past, isn't the power it's cracked up to be if you have little or no power in the Senate or in the Executive. That's why I'm not totally freaked out about the debt ceiling right now.
We need to operate through the next 2 years from a position of strength, carefully selecting our battles, carefully looking, not necessarily reaching, across the aisle to those who may be vulnerable or even like minded at that particular moment. We need to message that WE aren't being the obstruction every time their in fighting stalls their circus. They have the votes to pass legislation supposedly so let them try, alone and divided. Like the speaker vote, we have no reason to assist in their agenda. If anything, we have the edge in a more "for the people" centered agenda so unless it improves that, fuck 'em. They can't circumnavigate the next 2 hurdles they would need. We have them cornered, forcing them to come up with viable solutions, which, well, ain't gonna happen lol.
I say WE have the advantage here. It's all on them for the next 2 years.
Is Louisiana requiring ID to stream C-SPAN yet?
Because there's been more narcissistic back and forth fellatio on there than UPorn the last 4 days.
I need a shower, I feel dirty
