For those of you who are the praying kind, those prayers are being answered.  It’s pouring rain in Washington, DC, and there are special weather warnings for heavy rain and lightning until 9 pm.  It might be a happy 4th of July after all.  Happy #4thofyoulie !

Trump is catching hell from everyone from CNN to Winston Churchill’s grandson for flying all the way to France for WWI commemoration ceremonies to simply skip a US cemetery visit because of…wait for it…rain.  Our low energy president chose to stay in his hotel room watching television while dignitaries from all over Europe and North America visited cemeteries all over France.  Apparently he didn’t want to muss his hair weave.

While his sycophants defended his lack of motivation to actually do his goddam job, I’ll just leave this little remembrance of how real presidents deal with poor weather conditions:

OK, kids.  All of you along the Gulf Coast from Houston to Brownsville need to turn on your TeeVee for the latest weather.  The National Hurricane Center has now forecast landfall late Friday night NORTH of Corpus and south of Victoria.  The storm has strengthened rapidly and is forecast to reach Category 3 before coming ashore, hitting 125 MPH winds before coming inland.

That’s not the big problem, though.  The big problem is that the damn thing is forecast to stall just inland until as late as Tuesday before dissipating.  It’s going to dump a LOT of rain on the coastal areas, and Houston is going to see its share.  Back at El Jefe’s Beer & Bread Emporium, we call this kind of storm a Clear Up Shower.  Clear up to your ass.  Forecast rains for Houston could be 12″ to 18″ of rain through Sunday into Monday.

Y’all pay attention to this one, this is going to be a wet one.  We’ll be watching closely.
