The hit piece in The Atlantic is part of a psy-op designed to provoke a third assassination attempt and justify mass post-election violence.The outlandish hit piece on Donald Trump published this week by Jeffery Goldberg at The Atlantic, which was immediately denied on the record by all the people who were in the room with Trump, isn’t just a shoddy smear that would never have passed muster in a newsroom 20 years ago.It’s more than that. It’s part of a larger psy-op to justify mass post-election violence if Trump wins in November, to signal activists to reject the results of...

Vice President Harris is holding a press conference Wednesday morning to react to reporting that former President Trump once praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. The comments, reported by The Atlantic, came from a recent interview with retired Gen. John Kelly, who served as White House chief of staff under the Trump administration. Kelly alleged that Trump lauded Hitler’s generals for their loyalty. His comments confirmed reporting from a book that quoted the former president asking Kelly: “Why can’t you be like the German generals?” The Trump campaign has denied the claims. Her remarks are expected to begin at 11:30 a.m....

The Atlantic is facing intense scrutiny over a report alleging former President Trump disparaged a slain Mexican-American Army private while he was in office, with some involved with the story declaring it "false" and a "hit piece." Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, began a lengthy report published Tuesday about Trump's interaction with the family of 20-year-old Vanessa Guillén, the daughter of Mexican immigrants who was murdered in April 2020 by a fellow soldier at Fort Hood. After her remains were discovered two months later, Trump consoled Guillén's family at the White House and offered to provide financial assistance to...

Journalists and political commentators responded on social media to an article from The Atlantic comparing former President Trump to multiple fascist dictators, including Adolf Hitler. The Atlantic article, headlined, “Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini” was published Friday. “The former president has brought dehumanizing language into American presidential politics,” Atlantic writer Anne Applebaum argued. “When you spend 8 years calling a person every bad name you can think of — including Hitler — only to see that it’s not working, so you desperately decide the only thing left for you to do is call him all the bad...

The Atlantic endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday, citing her belief in Democracy and stating she “won’t abuse” power and “curry favor with dictators.” The endorsement of Harris is not a surprise. The Atlantic endorsed against Trump in the past two presidential cycles with its only third and fourth endorsements since the magazine’s founding in 1857. The Atlantic‘s endorsement, which read like a hit piece on Trump, did not mention Harris in the first three paragraphs of the endorsement. Instead, it alleged that Trump is “one of the most personally malignant and politically dangerous candidates in American history”:

The crater lies deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean and was formed around 66 million years ago – making it a contemporary of Chicxulub. It is thought that the asteroid hit Earth at around 72,000 kilometers (44,700 miles) per hour. Image credit: muratart/Shutterstock.com Some 66 million years ago, a massive asteroid slammed into Earth. The Chicxulub impactor, as it is called, famously wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs and left a huge crater at the edge of the Yucatán peninsula – but it may not have acted alone. New research has revealed that a second, smaller space rock smashed into our planet...

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season is the busiest it’s been all year. Three named storms have formed with Helene making landfall in Florida as a major Category 4 hurricane. Helene is the fourth hurricane to make landfall and the second major hurricane in the Atlantic basin this year. It will also be the strongest of the year with winds approaching 130 mph. Isaac is a tropical storm that’s expected to stay in the Atlantic and head east away from the United States. It’s slated to strengthen into a hurricane before dissipating within the week. Joyce formed...

Ivory Package 1 (Natural History Museum Denmark) Credit: Mikkel Høegh A new genetic analysis of ivory artifacts from across Europe suggests that early Norse hunters ventured far into North American waters and likely interacted with indigenous North Americans as early as 985 CE, or over 500 years before Christopher Columbus’ “discovery” of the Americas. The scientists behind the potential historical discovery’s genetic and isotopic analysis show that the ivory was harvested from the tusks of Walruses that lived in the North Atlantic waters off of present-day Canada. Their study also found that the long distances and extreme weather that Norse...

It has been the longest stormless streak in the Atlantic Basin in over 50 years, and AccuWeather meteorologists point to several factors that have put a temporary pause on the 2024 hurricane season.

Never, in the 20-plus years it had been issuing outlooks, had the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted so many tropical storms to develop in the Atlantic hurricane basin, with conditions across thousands of miles of ocean aligned perfectly. “That’s the highest forecast that we’ve had,” Ken Graham, National Hurricane Center director, announced at the annual preseason media briefing in May. NOAA seconded the motion in its Aug. 7 update with a warning that the 2024 season “could rank among the busiest on record.” Every other major forecasting service was on board.

As the Atlantic hurricane season reaches its peak, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring a new area of potential development in the central tropical Atlantic. This system could form over the Labor Day weekend or early next week, potentially disrupting travel and weather patterns. While the chance of development is currently low, favorable environmental conditions could lead to gradual organization of the system as it moves westward.

For over a year, surface temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean hit new highs, but that trend has reversed at record speed over the past few months, and nobody knows why. {skip obligatory global warming bs next few paragraphs...} NOAA data shows Atlantic sea surface temperatures have cooled at a surprising rate since May. Since June began, temperatures have been a degree or two Fahrenheit colder than normal for this time of year. That means El Niño will likely be replaced by its counterpart, La Niña, a weather system that allows cold water to rise to the surface of the Atlantic,...

A surge of hurricanes and tropical storms will shatter the silence across the Atlantic Ocean less than three weeks before the peak of hurricane season. Dry, dusty air kept most tropical activity across the Atlantic at bay throughout most of August, with Hurricane Debby and Hurricane Ernesto being the two exceptions. However, a major shift in the weather pattern will soon blow the doors wide open for a frenzy of tropical activity to unfold. “I think things could get very active potentially very quickly here as soon as that dry air goes away,” AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva said,...

FLORIDA — Anywhere from 17 to 24 named storms with winds 39 mph or greater are forecast during what is expected to be a “highly active” Atlantic hurricane season, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said in its mid-season hurricane outlook update Wednesday. Hurricane season runs June 1 through Nov. 30. Of these named storms, anywhere from eight to 13 could become hurricanes with winds of 74 mph or higher, including four to seven major hurricanes that are category 3, 4 or 5 with winds of 111 mph or higher. The updated outlook includes the four named storms to date.

Florida TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A second disturbance has popped up in the Atlantic as Florida braces for Tropical Storm Debby. The disturbance has a 10% chance of development over the next 48 hours and a 20% chance within the next seven days. The National Hurricane Center said the tropical wave is several hundred miles east of the Windward Islands and is moving quickly westward at around 20 mph. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Debby is currently westward of Florida and is expected to strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane as it approaches the Big Bend. Officials said the system is expected...

After weeks of quiet, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) is watching a tropical disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean. Located east of the Lesser Antilles, this disturbance is expected to interact with an approaching tropical wave during the next several days, according to the NHC. There is a medium chance that the disturbance will develop, but the odds have been increasing over the weekend. “Environmental conditions are forecast to become conducive for some development in a day or two, and a tropical depression could form around midweek while the system is near or over the northern Leeward Islands, Greater Antilles or...

The hurricane season's next tropical depression or storm is expected to form from a disturbance in the Atlantic by tonight as we also track two other systems with a lower chance of tropical development. W​here these systems are now: We're watching three tropical disturbances spread out from near Mexico to off the African coast, as depicted in the map below. The one expected to form into a tropical depression, and likely tropical storm, in the short-term future is Invest 95L in the central Atlantic. An "invest" is a naming convention used to identify disturbances that are being monitored with specialized...

WASHINGTON - The 2024 Atlantic Hurricane season is officially in full swing and our FOX 5 weather team is forecasting a potentially active season. The Atlantic hurricane season began on June 1 and runs through Nov. 30. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be above normal, with 14-22 named storms, including 7-10 hurricanes. This is higher than the average of 12-14 named storms per year. Don't Play This Game If You Under 40 RAID | Sponsored The reason for this increased activity is due to several factors, including a...

he edge of Greenland’s ice sheet looked like a big lick of sludgy white frosting spilling over a rise of billion-year-old brown rock. Inside the Twin Otter’s cabin, there were five of us: two pilots, a scientist, an engineer, and me. Farther north, we would have needed another seat for a rifle-armed guard. Here, we were told to just look around for polar-bear tracks on our descent. We had taken off from Greenland’s west coast and soon passed over the ice sheet’s lip. Viewed from directly above, the first 10 miles of ice looked wrinkled, like elephant skin. Its folds...

Along with the anticipation of an extremely busy Atlantic hurricane season, AccuWeather meteorologists are greatly concerned that conditions over much of the basin could have a significant number of storms that undergo rapid intensification. Where this occurs as storms approach land could greatly add to the risk to lives and property. Rapid intensification is a term meteorologists use to define tropical storms and hurricanes that quickly gain strength. The threshold is at least 35 mph in 24 hours or less. This can affect how fast a tropical storm becomes a hurricane or a hurricane jumps one or more categories in...
