7 people who attended the 250th freedumb fair were taken to the hospital and are in critical condition.

But the other 3 people are ok.

See ya in hell if you laughed at that one too.

Seven people that collapsed from the heat at Trump's 4th of July events are on advanced life support.

Friendly reminder, if you're out in this heat and your ears start to feel clogged that is a sign of heat sickness and you need to cool off and hydrate immediately. I found this out a few years ago in Paris when it was in the 90's after hiking up the Arc De Triumph. Another tip: there's an elevator and you really don't have to take the tiny stairs.

Play it safe in the heat. I've fallen out a few times.

I hope none of them were children who were dragged to the event by their 'loving' parents.

with child abuse. As for any adults, ZERO sympathy. The heat has been all over the news.

no matter who they are politically. When we lose sight of that, then we are just as bad as the people we criticize.

So be it. My humanity is gone for them. 100 F temperatures can kill. I will always remember
I was working on one of my native plant projects and it was + 90 F for about an hour or so killing
non native invasive stuff by just putting a drop or two of herbicide on them for about an hour I and
it was not really hard work but stressful in that I had to make sure that I was I.D. ing the right plants
and I was being exacting in what I was doing but when I got back to my F-150 and took a drink of the
water and ice I had my body went into spasms and I was throwing up. I got back home turned on the
A. C. and took a cool shower. It took me @ least 2 days to recover.

Even today I did a little work in Ohio and the temps were 99 to 102 and after I went inside I just
passed out for a few hours.

Who planned this shit show?
