Evelyn Taft's Smothering Heat Forecast
Oh boy was it hot today. I got out to my van at about 4:00pm and near-about melted once I got inside. Sheesh.
And there's more smothering temperatures expected tomorrow.
Here's the lovely Ms. Evelyn, for CBS News 2 Los Angeles:

The #Antifa Protests Are Helping Donald Trump
When left-wing hacks start writing posts like this, you know a line's been crossed.
This makes me happy. I'm just tickled. Nancy Pelosi even issued a denunciation, which is a little shocking, heh.

Amber Lee's Beach Weather Forecast
It's great down by the water. If you're inland, though, especially if you're out and about, it's gotta be miserable. We're looking at triple-digits inland tomorrow.
I've been teaching this week, so when I head home for my drive-time commute, it's boiling in Long Beach. Shoot, it's supposed to be about 95 tomorrow in Irvine. That's about the hottest it's been all summer, excepting that gnarly heat wave we had back in June.
In any case, I'll be back teaching again on Wednesday. Everything's going fine. I'm getting my classes set up, getting students situated with their syllabi and course materials. Tomorrow's a lecture and discussion section for my American government classes. Let's see how it goes. Hopefully students will remain punctual and attendance is robust.

Germanic Barbarians
Remember, I've mentioned a couple of times my fascination with the Roman Legions' war with Germania.
So, I've now got my copy of Steven Ozment, A Mighty Fortress: A New History of the German People, and you can see from the contents page this stuff's right in my wheelhouse. That's what I love about reading. As you learn more, you find yourself having more questions, and you seek more knowledge. This book's really excellent to boot.

Louise Mensch Hoaxed on 'Lurid' Allegations Into President Trump's Russia Ties
Red State posts the inevitable (hilarious) entry, "Total Shocker as Louise Mensch’s Conspiracy Theories Turn Out to Be Fake News."
Of course, Louise claims she never relied on the hoaxer who punked her co-author Claude Tayler, and is denying all attacks that she's a grifter and a fraud. Apparently, the both of them have been doing heavy-duty fundraising to keep their "Never Trump" conspiracies going.
It's a sad denouement.
At the Guardian U.K., "Lurid Trump allegations made by Louise Mensch and co-writer came from hoaxer."

Evelyn Taft's Hot and Humid Forecast
It was at least 90 today in Long Beach and Irvine, and it's supposed to be hotter tomorrow. This is the classic late summer tropical build-up, with those huge cumulus clouds across the sky. It's just boiling when you get in your car for the drive-time commute.
So, more heat tomorrow. I guess that's better than flooding and displacement, like in Texas, so say a beautiful prayer for your fellow Americans.

Ruth Scurr, Fatal Purity
I read William Doyle's, The Oxford History of the French Revolution, last year.
If I wind up on a Jacobin jag, I think I'll pick it up with this Scurr volume below. Maybe next summer. My 2017 summer reading idyll's winding down, heh.

Jennifer Delacruz's Record Triple-Digit Forecast
Inland San Diego County could see record temperatures tomorrow.
It was hot in Irvine today but I was in all day with the air conditioning on, so I'm not out in the heat.
And prayers for Texas. I watched a lot of videos on Twitter from the hurricane. And interesting, there was harsh push-back against those trying to push the political climate-change agendas. More on that later.

Jennifer Delacruz Dangerous Heat Forecast
Well, I've been moaning about how mild it's been, but I guess I shouldn't have been complaining, lol. It's about to get very hot tomorrow and early in the workweek.
You could feel it today in Irvine, where the high was about 85 degrees. But that's nothing compared to the triple-digit inland temperatures expected on Sunday.
Here's the lovely Ms. Jennifer, for ABC News 10 San Diego:
