  1. Biden: Fear oligarchs right here in the US. Climate Change is a threat. Fear AI. Bye Biden. Good riddance. Your made up threats are all over now. Well, they never existed, but at least we don't have to think or hear about it.
  2. I saw a yahoo story that was taken from the NY Post today and it was a video of a small jet crashing across a street onto a runway and exploding in a massive fireball. No words written at all. The comments were all about the lack of any words, and one person knew the story and put it in the comments section, where it was, number on board, death, and survivors.

    Phantom Menace, episode I. I just watched. It's OK. I'd rank it last though.

    Why Was Pacific Palisades Reservoir Empty?

    Interesting case: multiple arson culprit, John Leonard Orr, a fire captain and arson investigator in Glendale, California, Orr was convicted of serial arson and four counts of murder; he is believed to have set nearly 2,000 fires in a thirty-year arson spree, most of them between 1984 and 1991, making him the most prolific serial arsonist in American history.

    NFL Wild Card Weekend Games

    I blame Kevin O"Connell for this disaster, not Sam Darnold. KOC is not putting the offense in a position to succeed. Protect the QB and call plays to get the ball out of Darnold's hand quickly. O'Connell and everyone else will just blame Darnold and people (most, not all) will still think KOC is a football coaching genius.

    What wildlife do you encounter?

    I saw a bald eagle on my drive to work this morning. I have squirrels that live here and I've fed them nuts before. Rabbits are here too. Saw a wild turkey in my yard one time when I was mowing; he was trapped by my fence in the back and the sides and as I got closer he flew away. I've seen and filmed a hawk eating a small rodent on my deck railing. I see deer occasionally but not on my property.

    Your Favorite Star Wars Movie

    I like Rogue One a lot too. I recently started buying The Vintage Collection 3.75" action figures and keeping them carded. They're pretty cool and fun to collect.

    LA Wildfires, 100K people evacuated and counting

    This would be the time when you still need the Fire Chief. This mayor seems to be absolutely worthless, as is Governor Gavin but everyone knows that. The people that voted for these losers better get their heads on straight going forward or there will be more suffering in LaLa Land.

    Contrails

    Based on current scientific consensus, cloud seeding does not have a definitively proven effect, with most studies showing little to no significant increase in precipitation, although some research suggests potential benefits in specific conditions like mountainous areas with certain cloud types, making it a controversial topic with mixed results depending on the study and environment; essentially, while it might produce slightly more rain in some situations, it cannot be considered a reliable method to significantly increase precipitation across large areas.

    LA Wildfires, 100K people evacuated and counting

    It's because State Farm dropped property coverage over the Summer in the very area where these fires are. https://sports.yahoo.com/vikings-vs-rams-nfl-playoff-151907949.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall Last summer, more than 1,600 policies for homeowners in Pacific Palisades, California, one of the areas affected by fires in California, were dropped by State Farm, the insurance company, according to reports from USA TODAY and others.

    RIP Jimmy Carter

    Carter ultimately won, receiving 297 electoral votes and 50.1% of the popular vote to Ford's 240 electoral votes and 48.0% of the popular vote.[126] Carter's victory was attributed in part[127] to his overwhelming support among black voters in states decided by close margins, such as Louisiana, Texas, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Ohio.[128] In Ohio and Wisconsin, where the margin between Carter and Ford was under two points, the black vote was crucial for Carter; if he had not won both states, Ford would have won the election.
