And so, it ends
Since January of 2006, I have posted more than 8,200 times, trying to maintain my original intent of linking to information not always easy to come by.
Since then, websites have proliferated exponentially, most sites have multiple contributors, and the ever growing social networks have items of interest from all over. I am a one man band, just a needle in the "news is everywhere" haystack
And so, with that said, it ends, right here and right now, quietly and gracefully.
This page will likely remain here for quite some time, so the search box, the quote of the day, and other links should continue to work.
I wish everyone that has ever visited here the very best.
Take care,

Trump's Unexpected Ally Against the Clintons--David Brock | RealClearPolitics
As to trying to understand the behavior of the Clintons, I found this both interesting and informative.
And they are a long way from being my kind of people...
And they are a long way from being my kind of people...
At Real Clear Politics, Mark Paoletta digs into a 1996 book, and draws many seemingly accurate conclusions:
"In Seduction, Mr. Brock described many of the traits that make Americans uncomfortable with Hillary Clinton – possibly why nearly 60% of Americans in a recent survey find her 'not honest and trustworthy.' Among these are her tendency toward secrecy and her aversion to transparency. In 1996, Brock wrote:"

"'Allahu Akbar': It Means Almost Everything -- Except What The Establishment Media Says"
AT Breitbart.com, Robert Spencer recently wrote this and more:
"The war-cry is mistranslated in the Western media as “God is great.” But the actual meaning is 'Allah is greater,' meaning Allah Is Greater Than Your God or Government. It is the aggressive declaration that Allah and Islam are dominant over every other form of government, religion, law or ethic, which is why Islamic jihadists in the midst of killing infidels so often shout it. One primary purpose of shouting is to 'strike terror in the hearts of the enemies of Allah' "
KORWIN: America’s Real Gun Problem - The Gun Myths | The Daily Caller
This writer covers almost everything here...
At DailyCaller.com, Alan Korwin provides some insight about gun myths. He begins with:
"Nothing points out the bankruptcy of our nation’s gun-control debate better than the mythologies that surrounds it.
Prior 'common sense' proposals are perpetually abandoned. The so-called 'news' media adopts each new absurd gun-control scheme dutifully, promotes it uncritically, then drops it like a hot potato when it is proven worthless and runs to the next latest greatest bit of hoplophobic (morbid gun fear) ridiculousness."

"BUSTED ! – Republican State of Union Response Carried Amnesty Pledge in Spanish Version..."
"sundance" has posted this on the Conservative Treehouse blog:
"There is a bigger controversy about to break wide-open that’s potentially far more significant than Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell approving Nikki Haley’s non-subtle attack on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. That bigger controversy is the Spanish version of the GOP State of the Union rebuttal containing an 'amnesty pledge'."
"Bill Clinton's FBI Head Working to Squash Jeffrey Epstein Narrative"
At Breitbart.com, Patrick Howley recently wrote about this:
"Clinton’s friendship with a convicted child sex predator, Jeffrey Epstein, again is coming under increased scrutiny, thanks in part to a recent civil lawsuit for defamation filed in Florida against Dershowitz by representatives for two of Epstein’s alleged victims. Dershowitz served as Epstein’s lawyer during Epstein’s criminal criminal.
Not only has Bill Clinton’s name come up in the court proceedings, but Dershowitz, one of the key figures in the case, says that he cannot conclusively deny that Clinton was present at lavish sex orgies thrown on a Caribbean island by Epstein. What’s more, one of the victims said that Bill Clinton in fact was present at an Epstein island orgy."
The 10 Obfuscatory Essentials for Covering Jihad as a Journalist | PJ Media
On the PJ Media website, Ben Weingarten listed them a while back. They still fit very well:
"If you are a journalist covering the slow-motion global jihad, there is a certain formulaic nature to how you treat its victims, victimizers, and the 'broader context' of and for jihadist savagery.
The key is obfuscation. Minimize the extent of the threat, separate the jihadist’s ideology from his acts, and if possible, proudly display your Western guilt by attributing the attacks to perceived slights and injustices at the hands of Israel, Europe, or America.
Here are the 10 essentials for crafting the perfect narrative on the jihad as a member of the media:"
"Big City Machines Losing Control of the Monster They Created"
This sad but true paragraph begins JDZ's post at NeverYetMelted.com:
"Pretty nearly every major American city lives under a thoroughly corrupt, appallingly mismanaged one-party regime, whose permanent grip on power is based on the block voting of a property-less, non-tax-paying, practically illiterate, welfare constituency, residing under what amounts to a permanent military occupation."
Politically correct universities 'are killing free speech' - Telegraph
One would think that universities would be teaching that stifling debate can't be good for society going forward...
In the U.K. Telegraph, Javier Espinoza and Gordon Rayner recently reported on this:
"British universities have become too politically correct and are stifling free speech by banning anything that causes the least offence to anyone, a group of leading academics warns on Saturday. A whole generation of students is being denied the 'intellectual challenge of debating conflicting views' because self-censorship is turning campuses into over-sanitised 'safe spaces', they say."

The 'Read the Bill Act' - Breitbart
That being said, I'd bet it never gets passed because it would take away elected officials' plausible "out" when laws turn our bad...
At Breitbart.com, U.S Rep. Jim Bridenstine writes about what is wrong and his idea to fix it:
"The public mistakenly thinks the Three Day Rule gives Members a minimum of 72 hours to review bills. House Leadership, however, often 'complies' by introducing controversial legislation late Tuesday night and holding votes Thursday morning. Even so, sometimes Leadership overrides the fake Three Day Rule by passing a so-called 'Martial Law' rule to allow same-day consideration of any bill. Only in Washington D.C. can politicians write a new rule to override another rule which they (temporarily) don’t want to follow."

"This dramatic drop in per-capita murders to the lowest point ever recorded since the FBI began tabulating this data 55 years ago is a wonderful thing, especially as it continues to drop as more Americans own more guns that ever."
Cigarette tax revenue plunges as smokers buy outside New York | New York Post

Also, revenue shortfalls are likely paid for by "you know who"...
In a recent New York Post, John Aidan Byrne shared the story on this:
"New York state cigarette tax collections have plunged by about $400 million over the past five years, according to figures and estimates from the office of New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. And New York has also lost $1.3 billion in uncollected state cigarette taxes each year from alternative sales, according to a separate study.
The state is taxing far fewer packs, as smokers evade taxed packs, shop across state lines or buy smokes from Native American merchants to avoid punitive NY taxes. A typical pack in New York costs $10.60 or more, including the nation’s highest state excise tax, $4.35."
Norway: Oslo Police: “We Have Lost the City” � PoqariNews
The article below is about the apocalyptic level of culturally-enriched violence in Grønland, a district of the city of Oslo...
Oslo, Norway's largest newspaper, AftenPosten recently reported on life in Grenland:
"Grønland is only two subway stops from the Parliament, and one from the Central Station, fairly close to the government offices that were bombed by Breivik. It looks like Karachi, Basra, and Mogadishu all rolled into one. People sell drugs openly just next to the Grønland subway station.
It’s not Norway or Europe anymore, except when there is welfare money to be collected. The police have largely given up. Early in 2010 Aftenposten stated that there are sharia patrols in this area, and gay couples are assaulted and chased away. Immigrant Fatima Tetouani says that ‘Grønland is more Muslim than Morocco'"

"Cologne Attacks Trigger Raw Debate on Immigration in Germany"
Germany, and Europe, are in a bit of trouble with immigration...
The staff of the German publication Der Spiegel have this to say:
"But this hectic, fervid and, at times, hysteric, week has also been about much more: Namely it has been about all of the issues that the right-wing populist party Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the xenophobic movement Pegida have been shouting about for months. It was about Merkel's refugee policies and the upper limit for refugees demanded by her conservative Bavarian allies. Added to that was the perpetual problem of violence against women. It was about the integration of foreigners, the danger of a societal split over the refugee question and a shift to the right in Germany. But it was also about the quality of the work done by the police and about a state being unequal to the task facing it. It is a lot to think about. The role of the 'lying press' can't be forgotten either. And yet, it still isn't entirely clear what actually happened on New Year's Eve in Cologne."
"Why Germany can't face the truth about migrant sex attacks
The U.K.'s Daily Mail, Sue Reid finds:
"...a nation in denial as a wave of horrific attacks is reported across Europe
More than 120 women were targeted in Cologne on New Year's Eve
They were chased, cornered and groped; mobiles and wallets were stolen
‘The men were all foreigners, and when we protested, in German, they did not understand us,’ victim Michelle said
German ministers say 3,200 migrants a day continue to enter the country"

Secondly, those that "use" children to further a cause should be condemned for it...
On her website, Michelle Malkin writes about the issue and how some "uses" are contrived and orchestrated by activist groups:
"Groomed for a year by an outfit called the 'Full Rights for Immigrants Coalition,' Sophie is the ponytailed poster child for amnesty who was literally propped up in front of the pope during a September visit to Washington, D.C. Latino activists brazenly bragged about training the first-grader before the visit and crafting a letter in her name pleading with the Catholic pontiff to help her rescue President Obama’s executive illegal immigrant amnesty program DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents), which was halted under federal court order on May. In The Washington Post, a Harvard University professor praised the kiddie human shield tactics of the amnesty movement after Sophie’s stunt."
Minorities line up behind … Donald Trump
Bob Unruh has reported on this at WND.com:
"Pundits might point to billionaire Donald Trump’s huge lead in the GOP presidential primary race as being the result of his generally anti-Washington, anti-government, anti-establishment, anti-politically correct attitude.
If so, it’s not just whites who are ticked at the bureaucracy, but minorities too.
Because a new poll, which still has Trump leading the race, shows 40 percent of blacks are lining up behind Trump, as are 45 percent of Hispanics, and even nearly 19 percent of Asians.
Blacks and Hispanics, in fact, even support Trump at a higher level than whites."

The rape allegation against Bill Clinton, explained - Vox
This seems like a pretty good overview of this issue...
Dylan Matthews shares his thoughts on the Vox.com website:
"So far, this issue has mostly been raised by conservative media and Republican politicians like Prudhomme-O'Brien. But it's a substantive matter worthy of coverage from non-right-wing outlets as well. There really are multiple accusations of sexual assault against Bill Clinton, accusations that have too often been conflated with his much better-established and much less morally concerning history of adultery. Are the women making these accusations survivors who deserve to be believed, to borrow Hillary Clinton's language? Or, as she later insisted, have their accusations all been found to be baseless?
The basic answer is that some of the claims appear more credible than others."
"Sen. Rubio's Voting Record 'Much Worse' Than Senators"
Alex Swoyer recently checked into it. He posts at Breitbart.com:
"In addition, throughout this year, Rubio missed many votes as he ramped up his presidential campaign. For example, in the Spring of 2015 Rubio missed 32.9 percent of votes. Additionally, during this Summer he missed 53.8 percent, and throughout the Fall he missed 58.2 percent."

"This shocking map shows how anti-immigration campaigners have enjoyed huge gains in this year's elections, whilst thousands have taken to the streets to protest against the overwhelming influx of migrants and refugees.
From Greece to Germany and Switzerland to Sweden, far-right protestors and parties have stormed the mainstream of European politics as voters rebel against years of predominantly socialist rule."

"German Muslim Crime Denial Looks a lot like American Black Crime Denial"
Oh, and have you heard the new phrase "politically awkward".
Isn't that special?...
Willie Shields elaborates on this story at AmericanThinker.com:
"German officials want the world to know the 1000 African and Arab men who assaulted, robbed, rampaged and raped 100 or more German women had nothing to do with refugees.
And the Germans will not be talking about it any more, thank you, said German Justice Minister Heiko Maas.
'What happened at the main station in Cologne and other areas on New Year’s Eve is not acceptable,' Maas pronounced. 'It must not happen again and these perpetrators must be held to account.'
Which is what they said last time -- and the time before that."
Burying Negative Polls - Brent Bozell
If you're getting your news from the legacy media, you're NOT getting ALL the news.
We're only getting their version, plus NOT getting what they don't want us to know...
We're only getting their version, plus NOT getting what they don't want us to know...
At Townhall.com, Brent Bozell discusses the reporting of an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll:
" Holt (and NBC) deliberately skipped numbers revolving around this issue that are far more important. Obama has his lowest approval rating since right before the 2014 midterm wipeout, at 43 percent. More to the point, just 37 percent approve and 57 percent disapprove of the president's handling of foreign policy, and only 34 percent approve and 60 percent disapprove of his handling of ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
NBC's pollsters said these low numbers on foreign policy were comparable to George W. Bush's numbers at this point in his second term. In addition, only 20 percent of the public believes the country is headed in the right direction, versus a whopping 70 percent who think it's on the wrong track."
"VA blows off Congress"
This KARE11 media outlet story by A.J. Lagoe demonstrates how out of control it now is:
"MINNEAPOLIS -- Congress demanded answers from the Department of Veterans Affairs after a KARE 11 investigation documented how VA medical centers in Minnesota and Wisconsin were providing false and misleading information about the qualifications of some of their doctors. Records show some doctors never had – or had lost – medical certifications the VA claimed they had."
Elusive crime wave data shows frightening toll of illegal immigrant criminals | Fox News
That being said, I AM a fan of government being shaken, turned upside down, and held accountable for it's NON-actions as well as it's actions...
Malia ZImmerman recently called attention to this story at FoxNews.com:
"The federal government can tell you how many 'Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders' stole a car, the precise number of 'American Indian or Alaska Natives' who were arrested for vagrancy or how many whites were busted for counterfeiting in any given year. But the government agencies that crunch crime numbers are utterly unable -- or unwilling -- to pinpoint for the public how many illegal immigrants are arrested within U.S. borders each year."
"Sweden Descends into Anarchy"
And they usually win because few of us have the time and skill required to access foreign press and blogsites...
On the Gatestone Institute website, Ingrid Carlqvist begins with this and tells us what's going on in Sweden:
"Once upon a time, there was a safe welfare state called Sweden, where people rarely locked their doors.
Now, this country is a night-watchman state -- each man is on his own. When the Minister of Justice, Morgan Johansson, encourages breaking the law, it means opening the gates to anarchy. Mr. and Mrs. Swede have every reason to be worried, with the influx of 190,000 unskilled and unemployed migrants expected this year -- equivalent to 2% of Sweden's current population. The number is as if 6.4 million penniless migrants who did not speak English arrived in U.S. in one year, or 1.3 million in Britain.
And the Swedes are preparing: demand for firearms licenses is increasing; more and more Swedes are joining shooting clubs and starting vigilante groups..."

"UK cops knew Muslim rape gangs were targeting schools 5 years ago, did nothing"
At JihadWatch.org, Robert Spencer reports on this:
"'The predominant offender profile of Pakistani Muslim males… combined with the predominant victim profile of white females has the potential to cause significant community tensions.' In other words, don’t say anything about this, because if you do, you’ll be charged with 'racism.' The British authorities, all over the country, let the Muslim rape gangs — which were operating according to the Qur’an’s permission of men to take sex slaves (4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50) — operate with impunity. Better societal death than charges of 'Islamophobia.' Carve that on Britain’s tombstone."
Why Are Many Diseases Back, Decades After Being Wiped Out in the U.S.? - Breitbart

"If you think data about illegal alien crime is hidden from public, just try to find information on the contagious diseases brought across our borders by illegal aliens from nearly 100 countries. If we survey the anecdotal and sporadic official data of the past fifteen years, there is no doubt we are being invaded daily by dangerous diseases."
Rap Sheet: The Women Who Claim to Be Victims of Bill and Hillary Clinton
If the Republican presidential candidates don't lose their courage, this will become very, very interesting...
Breitbart.com's John Nolte shows us the list:
"Despite a laundry list of extremely disturbing allegations involving everything from rape to groping to harassment to character assassination, the DC Media has not only protected white Democrat Bill Clinton, in a number of cases, the media has joined the campaign to destroy these women.
The double standard is glaring.
The pattern is horrifying.

Cecil Blye, senior pastor at More Grace Ministries in Louisville, Ky., said federal policies designed to fight poverty in the black community have instead 'destroyed' families.
'The paradigm of government as parent has destroyed the black family and made black fatherhood irrelevant,' Blye said at the Stay True to America’s National Destiny (STAND) event at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
'Our welfare policies have incentivized co-habitation, single motherhood, and unemployment,' he said."

My New Year’s Eve dinner and other good times with Donald Trump | Daily Mail Online
See what you think...
Author and former reporter Ronald Kessler thinks a lot of Donald Trump. He begins:
"When Donald Trump came up with the idea of branding his condos and office buildings back in the 1980s, everyone in the real estate business thought he was nuts: traditionally, obscure companies that no one had ever heard of sold and leased real estate.
But the Trump brand came to stand for quality, prestige, and success. In the same way, Trump is branding his presidential candidacy, marketing himself by making provocative comments to get attention. Behind the scenes,
Trump is an entirely different person.
That persona was on display at his black-tie New Year's Eve party, which my wife Pamela Kessler and I attended at Mar-a-Lago, his club and Florida home in Palm Beach."
Germany shocked by Cologne New Year gang assaults on women - BBC News

"What is particularly disturbing is that the attacks appear to have been organized. Around 1,000 young men arrived in large groups, seemingly with the specific intention of carrying out attacks on women.
Police in Hamburg are now reporting similar incidents on New Year's Eve in the party area of St Pauli. One politician says this is just the tip of the iceberg.
And there are real concerns about what will happen in February when the drunken street-parties of carnival season kick off.
Cologne will stage carnival events in February, with hundreds of thousands of revellers expected in the streets, as on New Year's Eve. "

"President Obama, Chancellor Merkel, Prime Minister Cameron: would you feel differently about forcing Muslim refugees on your country if one of your daughters were to be raped and sodomized by one of them?"
Clearly, most of the world has their respective heads deep in the sand...
Dr. John asks this on the FloppingAces website:
"You’ve got to wonder what the hell is going on, but Germany isn’t alone. It’s part of a pattern of suppressing the truth about the culture of Muslim 'migrants' and 'refugees.' England looked the other way while 1400 young girls were sexually abused over more than decade for the sake of political correctness."
"Why Are We Taking in Refugees?"
Duh! It's because we are stupid.
That's why...
That's why...
At AmericanThinker.com, Catherine Sellers discusses the issue and the likely consequences:
"We don’t have enough jobs for the citizens of this country, much less jobs for new arrivals. We have over 94 million working-age adults not working, most because they cannot find jobs. According to John Williams at shadowstats.com, our real unemployment is somewhere around 23 percent if you count those who are without jobs over the long term and have given up looking for work. Millions more, who would like a full-time job, are working one or more part-time jobs. Our welfare and Medicaid rolls are already overflowing with citizens and immigrants. The U.S. government is broke and paying for this welfare with borrowed dollars, all funded on the backs of taxpayers."

"Another 'Scientific Consensus' Bites the Dust"
At AmericanThinker.com, Jonathan F Keller wants us to know:
"New studies of pre-modern humans, dating back many millennia, demonstrate that arteriosclerosis (the hardening of the arterial blood vessels that causes blockages and heart attacks) afflicted people who (by necessity and not choice) followed that most rigid of diet and exercise regimens -- hunting and gathering.
The mummified remains of Neolithic era humans from around the globe demonstrate that arterial disease was about as commonplace in those ancient populations as it is today.
Despite the fact that these people had diets low on saturated fats, high in proteins, vegetables and fruits, and engaged in regular and strenuous exercise, they still suffered from heart disease as they aged at about the same rates as modern humans."

Myth of the ‘Moderate Muslim’ - Matt Barber
Everyone should be made aware of this...
At Townhall.com, Matt Barber explains:
"Fact: Islam is about control. The word itself means 'submission.' It is a socio-political pseudo-religion based upon the incoherent scribblings of one man – the 'prophet' Muhammad, a warring tyrant who, as even the Quran concedes, was a murderous misogynist and pedophile. This unholy book is loosely plagiarized from the Bible’s Old and New Testaments – Scriptures that, by contrast, were seamlessly transcribed over centuries by roughly 40 men under the direct and divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
Muhammad taught, and the Quran stresses, that a central tenet of Islam is to convert, enslave or kill the infidel. An infidel is anyone who is not Muslim or, depending on who’s doing the killing, belongs to a different sect of Islam. Those who fall into that elusive, perpetually mute category tagged 'moderate Muslim' are also infidels. They’re bad Muslims and so, according to the Quran, not Muslims at all.
To be sure, 'moderate Muslim' is a contradiction in terms. It is intrinsically oxymoronic."
Cheap Oil Is Story of the Year | The American Spectator
Why do I think the oil story and the global warming story are similar?
Can we really be so wrong about these things, or is it something else?...
Stephen Moore includes this in his article at AmericanSpectator.org:
"These stupid predictions of the end of oil have been going on for most of the last century. Just over 100 years ago, the U.S. Bureau of Mines estimated total future production at 6 billion barrels, yet we’ve produced more than twenty times that amount. In 1939 the Department of the Interior predicted U.S. oil supplies would last thirteen years. I could go on.
The wonder is that smart people like Nobel prize winners Krugman and Obama haven’t learned anything from history and instead keep regurgitating these myths about 'running out.'"
"EXCLUSIVE: Rubio Defends NSA Spying on Netanyahu In Private, Condemns It In Public"
At Breitbart.com, Patrick Howley reports on Marco Rubio and his team:
"It’s significant that Rubio’s team is specifically not denying that Rubio said this to Gowdy, which means they’re essentially admitting he did say those words—but they’re challenging the context of them. Rubio’s team doesn’t have the best track record for honesty, dating back to when Rubio worked with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and other liberals and establishment Republicans in the 'Gang of Eight' to force a giant amnesty bill through the U.S. Senate. The Rubio team’s dishonesty on matters like this runs so deep that they actually began printing phony 'fact checks' on his Senate website to challenge accurate reporting about his amnesty legislation. Rubio’s team has since sunk into the same tactics—printing phony 'fact checks,' this time paid for by his campaign—when it comes to their response to a new ad that’s entirely accurate from former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s Super PAC criticizing Rubio’s poor attendance and voting record. The fabricated 'fact check' is littered with actual facts, but none address the core allegation."

"CNN's Camerota Shocked 14 Women Could Make Claims Against Bill Clinton"
NewsBusters Mark Finkelstein reports on this recent segment on CNN:
""Is that right? Fourteen?" That's Alisyn Camerota, 1:21 into the video clip. The shock and incredulity in the voice of the CNN host is stupendous! Yes, who could possibly imagine that, as CNN commentator Errol Louis stated, there are 14 women who could potentially make allegations of improprieties against Bill Clinton.
If Camerota had consulted CNN's own files, she wouldn't be so shocked. The Starr report includes Monica Lewinsky's testimony that Clinton personally told her that 'he had had hundreds of affairs' before the age of 40. And Dick Morris is on record saying Clinton had 'hundreds of women' just during his time in the White House. Whatever the precise number, does Camerota assume that Clinton conducted himself like Sir Galahad in all his encounters?"
Hillary Clinton's 'Feminist' Campaign Is Fraudulent
I have to agree...
At NationalReview.com, Katherine Timpf offers this and more:
"And there are multiple reports of her and her detectives doing just that. Kathleen Willey — whom Bill allegedly sexually assaulted in 1993 — claims that detectives hired by Hillary threatened her and her children and even killed her cat. Juanita Broaddrick, who accused Bill of raping her in 1978, reports that she was also threatened by Hillary."

Prison: A Sure Cure for ‘Affluenza’ | The American Spectator
On the American Spectator website, Debra J Saunders reviews the aspects of the story:
"Anyone outside that courtroom could have predicted Couch would find himself in trouble with the law in short order. The 'affluenza' defense demonstrated a refusal to face responsibility for a crime spree that started when Couch and friends stole some beer and ended with four corpses. Of course he ran. He’s not just some kid who screwed up. He’s a criminal."
"NOAA’s ‘Compromised’ Thermometers Inflate U.S. Warming Trend"
I'm a bit sad in reporting this.
That's because it's been what I thought was common knowledge from years ago.
Worse, it's never been fixed or corrected; and, worse yet, the inaccurate data is still being used to promote "the cause"...

At DailyCaller.com, Michael Bastasch revisits the issue:
"These 'compromised' weather stations run hotter than stations that are well-sited, and are used by NOAA as a benchmark to make upward adjustments for other weather stations that are part of the agency’s official temperature record.
Watts and his fellow researchers found only 410 'unperturbed' weather stations out of the 1,218 stations used by NOAA to determine U.S. climate trends. These 'unperturbed' stations don’t need to be adjusted by NOAA because they had not been moved, had any equipment changes, or change in the time temperatures were observed."
