@PamRotella @elonmusk Nobody is going to buy the argument: "We've always been a crap state."

ME-Lon, this is pathetic, even for you. Try doing the WORK and learn something about California before posting this juvenile crap. If you'd read even one article on California fires, or watched one video, then you'd know that fires have been a part of the landscape in California for thousands of years. Modern man built their homes there because of the ocean, weather, and jobs in the area, and so now their homes are a part of that same fire-prone landscape. And it's also hard for the government there to keep up with the water needs of such a huge population. (BTW, what's Trump doing with the flute -- waving at us? Anybody who's touched a flute can see he's not playing it.) And how are these officials corrupt? With Trump, it's easy to prove corruption because he does it so often, and usually in the open. But all you have are baseless claims right here. Not that California didn't have problems in the past. When I lived there in the 90s, Pete Wilson was governor and I'm not aware of corruption with him, though there were complaints about some of his policies. There was some gossip by people who didn't like him hanging out with gay guys at a few parties, but he was pro-gay rights and probably made a lot of friends for that. Then there was Gray Davis, and the whole Enron thing. I'm not sure that translated to direct corruption at the government level though -- Enron was scamming everyone. Oddly, I was working at Con Edison in New York on their manhole temperature project when I saw a man who looked like Ken Lay passing through the hallway there, and his hair was sort of grown out at the sides -- he looked messy and worn out, not like you see in photos. No idea who he was seeing there, but he passed away a couple of years after that, avoided his time in prison that way. I remember a lot of corruption in the 90s police forces of CA though, and my dad said that he witnessed police corruption going back to the 60s when his company sent him to CA for a job near Santa Monica. During the 90s, I experienced some of these scams -- one time the state police accused me of going 80 when I was deliberately going below the speed limit of 45 or 55 because everyone knew the cops were pulling people over and making false accusations. In fact, when I woke up that morning I really didn't want to drive south on PCH to check my mailbox because I knew I'd have to waste a lot of time traveling slowly down that road. And the cop accusing me of speeding was supposedly a motorcycle cop, but he looked like he weighed 400 lbs. That's not exaggerating -- he looked like he needed one of those modern wheelchairs for the morbidly obese, but I was supposed to believe he maneuvered a motorcycle through traffic somehow? Another time, the Oxnard Police (another obese motorcycle cop) wrote me a ticket for going straight ahead in a right-turn-only lane, but the road was deeply rutted and the arrow had worn off other than a small patch of white paint that didn't mean anything. I took pictures of the intersection to court, but the cops had photos of a brand new concrete intersection that looked nothing like the intersection on the day of the ticket. I thought that maybe the intersection had been redone after the city realized that it was dangerous, but no. Just by chance I went through that same intersection months later, and it was even worse than the day of the ticket, with the ruts making it hard to leave your lane. So the cops not only lied in court, but went through the trouble of taking photos of a different intersection to be sure the judge had an alternate narrative. Of course the judge sided with the cops. I'm still not clear whether he was in on it, but the businesses in Oxnard lost my business as a result. I only bought one item in Ventura County after that -- a car battery for about $20 when mine went dead and I had no way of going a longer distance to buy one somewhere else. There was also the shooting of Don Scott in 1992, an older man who'd inherited some money and owned a nice property with a waterfalls on it. He was shot and killed by the notoriously corrupt Lost Hills Sheriffs department in Malibu. (The same dept. that told me to "keep a log" of stalking incidents rather than doing anything about it, leading to police forces all over the country wasting time and money on the same stalker's activities since.) Then the entire town was upset, because there were rumors that the cops wanted to take his land, but he'd told them that he had $5 million in the bank to fight them for it. So one of them concocted a scheme to accuse him of growing marijuana there, which turned out to be false: latimes.com/archives/la-xp…

Banger 😂

@Rich_Cooper Keep separate budgets too. Keep separate houses. You both are in accordance.

As it should be...

@jo21878 @Rich_Cooper Print your Marriage certificate as well as your birth certificate.

@Rich_Cooper Nonsense. Women are being denied the right to vote because their names do not match their birth certificates. She has to change all of her documents. I did not take his name.

@OriginalJZ82141 @realAnn_29 @TheLucyShow1 What City?

@realAnn_29 @TheLucyShow1 That rifle is securely locked in. You would literally have to destroy the rear of that bike to remove it. Your kids are safe, quit being a pussy. You probably have guns in your house more accessable to your kids!

This is just crazy. An unattended police bike left behind, where kids get off the school bus is raising serious concerns. This local resident recorded the scene after officers sped away in a patrol car, leaving the marked bike behind in an isolated area for more than an hour. This is careless and confusing, especially with identifying details still visible.

@capleri4 @Rothmus Nope. Nazi Brownshirt, Fascist Blackshirt, Antifa Black Block are the 3 historical amigos.

@Rothmus Nothing wrong with Woke, hun. Woke is anti-fascist.

The education system isn’t broken, it was designed to produce the woke activist class we see today. Charlotte Iserbyt, ex-Senior Policy Advisor at the U.S. Dept of Education under Reagan, explained this 25 years ago: ‘These experts in brainwashing are using the Department of Education to brainwash our children. If you want to convert a country to socialism, or a global world management system, the best way is to start with the children. Change their attitudes, values, and behavior.’ Carnegie and Rockefeller foundations planned it all a century ago: Carnegie took international control, Rockefeller handled domestic. They gutted real academics (reading, writing, math, morals, Constitution) and replaced it with behavior modification, values clarification, and workforce training, explicitly to produce obedient socialist workers, not independent thinkers. Their own reports openly stated the goal was to prepare children to be dumbed-down vassals in the socialist New World Order and planned global economy. This was never about education. It’s full-spectrum social engineering.

@Rothmus @grok What is the book title and author to which she is referring?

@jimmy_dore When the king of England was here, he dropped off the Letter of Marque. It's perfectly OK.

Trump on the The U.S. navy currently seizing ships in the Middle East: “It’s very profitable, we’re like pirates”. Out loud admitting & even bragging that the U.S. is an international criminal organization. Wow.

@cooperwolf131 @PeteHegseth @POTUS ICE? You mean the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement?

Bring them all home. Let them patrol the borders and take place of the untrained ICE agents. They're better trained, better disciplined, and better in hostile situations. Give them papers to go serve and let them go to work. Gives them stable employment on their own soil and eliminates the need for an over bloated DHS budget. Stop hiring ICE agents over zoom calls and give these vets a stable job at home.

@JoePannu119738 @PeteHegseth @POTUS Only if German acquiesces. It's their choice, as it should be.

@PeteHegseth @POTUS America moves out Russia moves in -that's the deal being done.

@HarmeetKDhillon They're herding aphids. They milk 'em too. I'm not joking.

Ants on peonies.

@JebraFaushay The fact that it's fun to watch big supersonic bombers take off is fun, probably has more to do with their being there than anything else. I could watch "the bone" do touch and goes all day. I'll bet they'll never admit to the same.

These ladies in red showed up at Fairford Air Force base in England to protest the “deafening killing machines.” Upon seeing their outstretched arms and sad little faces, the pilot turned around and landed the plane. (No he didn’t)

@Rainmaker1973 I still don't see it. I'd need a sketch of the truck where the sketch shows the part of the truck that is in the photo. I believe y'all that the truck is in the left side of the photo and the garage is on the right side, but ... No can see.

There is a truck in this photo

@elonmusk It's amazing teams of politically connected "workers" can make high 5 or even 6 figure salaries in a "non profit", coax donations from government and fixed income senior citizens, and still be non-taxed as a "non profit" organization.

Accurate

@GPAIndiana Admit it: I'd be fun to own one today. But then, there isn't a car in the scene that wouldn't be.

AMC Gremlin: The only car brave enough to ask, “What if reliability was optional?” 😂 Don’t know if making a Movie using your name is a good thing or a bad thing 🤣

@IndianaGPA I wonder if that particular hawk permanently crossed snakes off his dietary ingredients list.

I’ve never refereed a fight but I can see with my own eyes…that Hawk never tapped out 😆 I can pretty much guarantee the Hawk started it!

@K3TripleR B) it will be < 3 Ohms

@ksorbs It seems this a one-off street fair. We've always had them in Syracuse and Utica NY, put on by the local ethnic groups, be they Italian, German, Armenian, Polish, Ukrainian, ect.

Sharing this video online can get you arrested in the UK. How amazing is that.

@SharylAttkisson I've given up and drove my car home with the airbags blown. It was January 1, sometime in the '80s, and "Chevrolet" had a service like AAA at the time. They never showed. I had AAA ever since. I suspect a hangover was involved.

If you have used them for things like flat tire or dead battery… How quick can they get there on average? I use my regular insurance but it takes hours and hours sometimes for a response on site.

Is AAA still a thing? Or do most people get those roadside services through their regular car insurance?

@MarioNawfal Hormuz has Zoroastrian roots already. Shia Muhammadanism shunted Persia to history.

Iran just dropped the hammer! They just announced they are now charging a toll for all ships that go through the Straight of Hormuz The fee has to be paid in their local currency, and any country that participated in the war has to pay an ADDITIONAL fee. Oh and Israel is banned On top of this, they are banning ships from countries that are sanctioning Iran: 🇺🇸 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇯🇵 🇰🇷 And to make things worse, as a middle finger to Trump, they are asking all countries to call it the Strait of Persia 😂 Iran know Trump does not want to return to war, the global economy cannot afford it, and they are making the most out of the situation The effects of this war will be felt for generations to come. We're just starting to see the consequences unfold

@Scribble_Fiend @Rainmaker1973 I doubt the Amish are involved with this AI video whatsoever.

@Rainmaker1973 Is it ironic? that the Amish avoid technology, but are now being depicted in ai video generation to give advice on social media via mobile phone apps. Strange times.
