  1. Trump was sentenced to an “unconditional discharge” with no legal penalties, so the Corrupt-Lefty-Lawfare-Blob was able to pin a judgement of guilt on Trump’s permanent record.

  2. Giant Pandas – why walk when you can somersault.

    Red Pandas – also cute, but described as “barbed wire in a fur suit.”

  3. I wonder how much asbestos is blowing around LA right now from old buildings being burned? I have read that painters used to mix asbestos powder into oil paints. I do not know how widespread that practice was.

  4. California aiming at “Net Zero” is not only insane, it’s impossible. They have just blown through any emission reduction goals for years to come with these fires.

  5. Now that Trump is a convicted felon for having a NDA with some “hush money” attached to it, can we see what was paid out of the Congressional slush fund?

    It would be nice to know the name of the Congresscritter, the amount distributed, the offense. They can redact the name of the “victim” but it would be nice to know if there are any repeat victims who might be accusing one person, get the money and then move on to another representative.

    I agree. I asked the Google AI how we can achieve Netzero with many countries opening coal power plants. The answer.

    “ To achieve net zero emissions despite China and India opening new coal-fired power plants, a critical approach involves rapidly scaling up renewable energy sources like solar and wind power to offset coal emissions, alongside implementing energy efficiency measures, promoting carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology at existing coal plants, and facilitating a just transition for coal-dependent communities in these countries through policy support and investment in alternative industries.”

    This is typical green propaganda but is a widely held belief on the left. Intermittent Wind and solar do not work for always on electric power no matter how much battery storage you put on
