Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah is sounding the alarm about the massive interest on the nation's debt."We're so screwed. And glued. Also tattooed. Interest will top $1.1 trillion this year. That's what decades of reckless, hegemonic rule by The Uniparty™️ does," Lee tweeted."It's time to clean house."The senator made the comments in response to a post by E.J. Antoni, "Research Fellow in the Heritage Foundation's Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget," who had tweeted, "Interest on the debt is going to the moon: Treasury now projects it will cost over $1.1 trillion during the current fiscal year." — (@) The U.S. national debt is more than $34.5 trillion.Lee sounded off about politicians who have been green-lighting massive spending measures."I hope the fleeting moments of media praise—heaped on the heads of complicit politicians each time The Uniparty™️ passed a bloated spending bill—were worth the resulting devastation," the senator tweeted. "I hope the earmarks that served as propellant for most of the spending—even as Americans repeatedly begged Congress to abandon earmarks—were worth crippling economic growth, mobility, and opportunity for hardworking families," he continued. "I hope the warm and fuzzy feeling members of The Uniparty™️ had, all in the name of 'getting things done,' were at least enjoyed by someone while they lasted," Lee added."It's time to clean house," he declared. "It's time for a new approach in Washington—one that doesn't pretend we're drawing from an endless well. It's about to become painfully clear that we're not," he concluded. — (@) Like Blaze News?

Scientists say that a massive solar storm will lead to communications disruptions across the globe as well as magnificent photographs of the Northern Lights. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued the first geomagnetic storm watch in 20 years over the solar flares that began on Wednesday. NOAA said the flares appear to be associated with a sunspot that is believed to be 16 times the diameter of the Earth. On Friday, the organization said there was evidence of "major disturbance in Earth's magnetic field," but by the end of the day, they elevated their projection to G5, the highest for solar storms. "This is an unusual event," said NOAA. "Shooting a magnet out into space." The solar eruptions are called coronal mass ejections and send streams of cosmic particles into space that collide with the Earth's atmosphere. “Widespread voltage control problems and protective system problems can occur," read a warning from NOAA. "Some grid systems may experience complete collapse or blackouts. Transformers may experience damage." The last solar storm of similar magnitude was documented in Oct. 2003, and it resulted in damaged transformers in South Africa and power outages in Sweden. While the Northern Lights are sometimes visible in regions of the Earth closer to the northern pole, the size of the solar flares mean the atmospheric marvel could be seen by those as far south as California and Alabama. The sunspot is so massive that it may be visible to the eye, but experts said people should use eclipse glasses to protect their eyes. “Essentially the Sun [is] shooting a magnet out into space," said space weather forecaster Bill Murtagh to Nexstar. Witnesses are already posting incredible photographs to social media of the natural phenomenon. — (@) "The public should stay properly informed of storm progression," said NOAA. — (@) The geomagnetic storm begins Friday and runs throughout the weekend.
