    She then told a story of an individual coming into her restaurant and paying for food.

    “Just recently I had a migrant come into my cafe that recently passed through the borders and paid for their food with one of the prepaid cards they were given,” said Gray. “How is that as a slap in the face as a proud American who worked hard, just like each one of you? And to be affected by the food costs, utility costs, to have someone just come and just willy nilly pay for their food, in my cafe, with prepaid dollars that was funded by us.”

    But Gray, according to federal court records, has received her own prepaid food.

    She has filed for bankruptcy three times in the past decade and reported receiving Food Share benefits in the most recent filing.

    Gray, in an interview, acknowledged receiving the benefits, but said there is a difference: she is a U.S. citizen. “I have worked since I was 16,” said Gray, 45. “I paid into the system.”

    Historical high temperature talk not going away.  Pretty rare going back 100 years, absolutely.  Pretty rare in these modern end-of-Earth Central Texas times?  Not really.  I went back just a few years and found the following:

    2023:  94 degrees April 15th (First 95 or above June 14th)

    2022:  First 95 degree day occurred on April 4 (96*).  Interestingly, everyday from May4th to May 21st that year was between 92-101*

    2021:  94 degrees on May 4 (95* June 9th)

    2020:  95 degrees on April 8

    2019:  95 degrees on June 7th (multiple 93s and 93s in April and May)

    2018:  97 degrees on May 15th

    2017:  95 degrees on April 28th

    2016:  95 degrees on June 16th (best Austin summer since 2007)

    Negged.

    Finance Minister and member of the security cabinet Bezalel Smotrich called on Monday for annihilating Israel's enemies, saying "There are no half measures. [The Gazan cities of] Rafah, Deir al-Balah, Nuseirat – total annihilation. 'You will blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven' – there's no place under heaven."
