Warmest first half of January ever recorded in Seattle since the 1890’s
If you feel like it’s been a mild winter so far, you’re not imagining things. This has been the warmest first half of January ever recorded in Seattle, according to the National Weather Service in Seattle. “The average high temperature at Sea-Tac (International Airport) for the first 16 days of January was 51.8°,” the weather service tweeted Thursday. Those temperature records go back to marks taken at the Federal Building in downtown Seattle since the 1890s, meteorologist Dana Felton said. A high of 50 degrees is expected on Thursday, Felton said. There were, however, a few cold mornings: Lows dipped to 33 degrees on Jan. 1, 32 degrees on Jan. 2 and 31 degrees on Jan. 15, he said. The warmest day so far was last Friday, Jan. 11, when the high climbed to 61, Felton said. “A 60-degree day is pretty rare in January,” he said. “There have only been 16 in the 75 years of records at Sea-Tac.”

2018 Was the First Year with no Bank Failures since 2006

January 15, 2019 20:35 ET
For the first time in thirteen years, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation record any bank seizures. This marks the first time since 2006 that the United States did not have a bank failure, but in the bigger economic scheme of things, what does this mean?
First and foremost, the lack of action by the FDIC and statements published regarding the health of our banking system indicates that a real economic recovery was underway in 2018. This does not mean all is well throughout the nation, but in Middle America it means the neighborhood bank is relatively healthy and the predictions of constant doom and gloom under President Trump’s administration were entirely unwarranted.
Secondly, the new accounting laws have allowed the perpetual shell game to continue. Unless mark to market accounting returns, a highly unlikely prospect at this time, deferred losses or off the book entries shall be permitted, allowing any rot near the core of (more…)
Laser triggers electrical activity in thunderstorm for first time
A team of European scientists has deliberately triggered electrical activity in thunderclouds for the first time, according to a new paper in the latest issue of Optics Express, the Optical Society’s (OSA) open-access journal. They did this by aiming high-power pulses of laser light into a thunderstorm. At the top of South Baldy Peak in New Mexico during two passing thunderstorms, the researchers used laser pulses to create plasma filaments that could conduct electricity akin to Benjamin Franklin’s silk kite string. No air-to-ground lightning was triggered because the filaments were too short-lived, but the laser pulses generated discharges in the thunderclouds themselves. “This was an important first step toward triggering lightning strikes with laser beams,” says Jérôme Kasparian of the University of Lyon in France. “It was the first time we generated lighting precursors in a thundercloud.” The next step of generating full-blown lightning strikes may come, he adds, after the team…

PM Viktor Orban: Hungary can be proud it was first country to prove migration can be stopped
Addressing an international press conference on Thursday, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Hungary’s goal is to have “anti-immigration forces” in the majority in every European Union institution. Hungary wants to see an anti-immigration majority first in the European Parliament, then the European Commission and eventually, through member states’ national elections, in the European Council as well, Orban said. The prime minister said May’s European parliamentary elections would be historic because Europeans would finally get to have their say on the issue of migration. Hungary so far has been the only member state where the people have been given the chance to express their views on migration, he said. Orban added that his Fidesz party’s aim for the elections was “to be the most successful party” in Europe and in the European People’s Party.

They’re not sending their best.
A SSRN study by John R. Lott published in February 2018 found that from 1985-2017 illegal aliens had a 163% greater chance of being convicted of 1st degree murder than Arizona citizens. Illegals had a 168% greater chance of being convicted of 2nd degree murder than an Arizona citizen.
This is startling news that is typically ignored by the liberal mainstream media.

SpaceX launches first U.S. national security space mission
A SpaceX rocket carrying a U.S. military navigation satellite blasted off from Florida’s Cape Canaveral on Sunday, marking the space transportation company’s first national security space mission for the United States.
The Falcon 9 rocket carrying a roughly $500 million GPS satellite built by Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) lifted off from Cape Canaveral at 8:51 a.m. local time (1351 GMT). Four previous scheduled launches in the last week, including one on Saturday, were canceled due to weather and technical issues.
The successful launch is a significant victory for billionaire Elon Musk’s privately held rocket company, which has spent years trying to break into the lucrative market for military space launches dominated by Lockheed and Boeing Co (BA.N).

Mattis’s Exit Takes Leash Off Trump’s ‘America First’ Doctrine
For two years, the world counted on leaders like Jim Mattis to hold firm against President Donald Trump’s “America First” doctrine. Now that last line of defense is gone.
Mattis’s abrupt resignation as defense secretary and Trump’s rapid-fire moves to reshape the U.S. military footprint abroad are provoking fears that there’s no one left to restrain the president’s most combative and isolationist impulses.
