HAS THERE EVER BEEN A POLITICIAN LIKE THIS?

Has there ever been a politician like this? Our President is not 'protected' by the press like the previous president was. I believe the 44th president went to sleep each night, in uncontrollable fits of evil laughter as he thought about all that he got away with each day as the press gave him a pass on... everything. Our current president, President Donald Trump, gets questioned on... everything. If he says that today is Saturday, The New York Times is capable of running an editorial denying it. Just look at this tweet that Trump tweeted late yesterday morning. He is not scared of these little dimwit lefties who are trying their best to deny him the respect and honor that his office requires. 

Let me get this straight... Just because Attorney General Jeff Sessions had a conversation with the Russian Ambassador, this somehow 'proves' that they were in cahoots to control the election results in the United States?  OK, democrats... here's another case for you.... Here is photographic proof of a meeting between James Bond and Auric Goldfinger.  Does this also prove that James Bond was conspiring with Auric Goldfinger to sabotage the gold in Fort Knox? According to your 'logic'  - I guess it does. Now I know that James Bond and Auric Goldfinger were fictional characters from the imagination of Ian Fleming, but since you subscribe to so much fake news, you might as well fight movie plotlines. Reality does not seem to be your forté.

The fact that I spent being as active as a book sitting on a bookshelf, as I was suffering from flu-like symptoms for a couple of days while on the road, probably did not help me this week. Even when I am not feeling well, my appetite almost never suffers.  My weight this morning was 245.6 lbs.

IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

It is not much of a breaking news story that during winter it is cold in Chicago. Although with the arrival of the so-called polar vortex, it will be extra cold this week.

Coldness is course relative. For example, after a few days of sub-freezing weather, a day where the mercury rises to 40°F can feel warm.  Here is the ten-day forecast for Chicago.

I thought that we were due for some unbearably cold weather, until I checked out the weather forecast for Yakutsk, Russia.  Now that is some cold weather!  Perhaps I will temper (no pun intended) my complaining about the falling temperatures. During the next ten days in Yakutsk, Russia the warmest temperature that they can expect to experience will be -22°F sometime on Tuesday. That 'heatwave' will be short-lived as the temperatures will plunge to -43°F one week from Wednesday.  During this same period, the coldest it is forecast in Chicago is -2°F. So what, really, do we have to complain about!  By the way, Yakutsk is a very real city with a population that exceeds a quarter of a million people.

Yakutsk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Yakutsk (Russian: Якутск; IPA: [jɪˈkutsk]; Yakut: Дьокуускай, Jokūskai, pronounced [ɟokuːskaj]) is the capital city of the Sakha Republic, Russia, located about 450 kilometers (280 mi) south of the Arctic Circle. Population: 269,601 (2010 Census); 210,642 (2002 Census); 186,626 (1989 Census).

Yakutsk is a major port on the Lena River. It is served by the Yakutsk Airport as well as the smaller Magan Airport. It is a major supplier of diamonds. Its population is almost 300,000 and its average winter temperature is −34 °C (−30 °F), which makes Yakutsk the coldest city of its size or greater in the world.

Climate

With an extreme subarctic climate (Köppen climate classification: Dfd), Yakutsk has the coldest winter temperatures for any city. Average monthly temperatures range from +19.5 °C (67.1 °F) in July to −38.6 °C (−37.5 °F) in January, and only Norilsk has a lower mean annual temperature for any settlement of over 100,000. Yakutsk is the biggest city built on continuous permafrost, and most houses there are built on concrete piles.

The coldest temperatures ever recorded on the planet outside Antarctica occurred in the basin of the Yana River to the northeast of Yakutsk, making it the coldest inhabited place on earth. Although winters are extremely cold and long – Yakutsk has never reported a temperature above freezing between 10 November and 14 March inclusive – summers are warm (though rather short), with daily maximum temperatures occasionally exceeding +30 °C (86 °F), making the seasonal temperature differences for the region the greatest in the world. The lowest temperature recorded in Yakutsk was −64.4 °C (−83.9 °F) on 5 February 1891 and the highest temperatures +38.4 °C (101.1 °F) on 17 July 2011 and +38.3 °C (100.9 °F) on 15 July 1943. The hottest month in records going back to 1834 has been July 1894 with a mean of +23.2 °C (73.8 °F)^[14] and the coldest January 1900 which averaged −51.2 °C (−60.2 °F).
