City of Palmdale officials have announced that the Palmdale City Library, located at 700 E. Palmdale Blvd., is a designated cooling center open to people of all ages today through Sunday, Sept. 4. The Palmdale City Library will be closed for the Monday, Sept. 5 Labor Day holiday.
The Chimbole Cultural Center, located at 38350 Sierra Highway adjacent to the library, will serve as a designated cooling center on Monday, Sept. 5, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The National Weather Service is predicting dangerously hot conditions, with high temperatures of 95 to 112 through Saturday, and 100 to 115 Sunday and Monday, including abnormally warm overnight temperatures. Extreme heat will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities. Residents should monitor the latest forecasts and warnings for updates on this situation.
Residents are advised to drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. This is especially true during warm or hot weather when car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.

If the ‘Clown in Chief’ wasn’t busy playing Bernie Sanders for votes to overturn his devastating political snafus, perhaps instead of paying off student loans he could help fund a solution to homeless crisis.
Complete the wall and deport Illegals would save trillions.

Please explain this magical mechanism for “saving trillions,” lest we recognize that you have not the first clue what you are talking about.
Oh.
Too late.
