It’s nice to see that the company at left says that its “goal” is waste tire to fuels, rather than that it actually is doing so, which would be a lie, albeit one that is commonly told.

About 15 years ago, there were many dozens of organizations working on this, but none of them succeeded, because  a) the technology wasn’t mature, and b) the whole enterprise wasn’t cost effective.

A reader notes: Scientific fact cannot be overturned by a corrupt president.

Good for you.  It’s hard to find a more anti-science group on the entire planet than the Heartland Institute.

From “Voice of a Nation”:
Brace yourselves, patriots — the 2028 battlefield has erupted into an unquenchable inferno of destiny.
On Sunday, February (sic), 2026, J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio sealed the most formidable political fusion in history — an adamantium bond of unyielding intellect, ferocious working-class resolve, and laser-guided tactical mastery that is already fracturing the establishment’s foundations and electrifying the globe.
This transcends campaigns. This is an epochal reckoning.

 

LOL.  If the future is simply an extension of the present, by the time 2028 rolls around, there will be very few people who will even admit that they supported this criminally fascist regime, let along want to see it continue.

Without a doubt, the United States is headed in the direction of fascism, yet it’s hard to know how close we are.

There is a significant number of morons who don’t know that our constitution protects the rights of all of us to express our beliefs, even if they are critical of the president and his administration.

Again, it’s impossible to know if this population of morons will have any effect on the future of people like AOC.

There are many baby boomers who remember shows like Bugs Bunny and Rocky and Bullwinkle and lament that quality television for the young no longer exists.

Appreciation for shows like these require a basic level of understanding of music, art, literature, and above all, history.

From the Sierra Club:

Washington, DC – Today, in a brazen assault on the health and welfare of the American public, the Trump administration announced its rule revoking the Environmental Protection Agency’s longstanding greenhouse gas endangerment finding under the federal Clean Air Act. With the stroke of a pen at a White House, Donald Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin have formalized climate denialism as official government policy and moved to eliminate EPA’s ability to directly fight the climate crisis.

We’ve known since the onset of Trump’s first administration that this highly corrupt president will do anything required to help the corporate polluters that support him financially.  The collapse of the environment is collateral damage, perfectly acceptable to the chief fascist.

From the list at left, I wonder why most of these cities are bright blue.

I’m going to guess that life in these places requires affluence, and affluence generally derives from good education, good breeding, good manners, and tolerance for other people.

Santa Barbara is too small (population 89K) to make the list, but it’s incredibly pricey, and it’s next to impossible to find a Trump supporter there.

I would say it happened when Donald Trump entered the political scene in 2015 and wasn’t immediately laughed off the stage.

I remember calling my mother in disbelief and asking her if there wasn’t an unwritten rule that a successful presidential candidate has to be a decent and honorable human being.  Sure, we elected Nixon (twice), but we didn’t know he was a criminal at the time.

Although I completely agree with the fellow at left, I have to admit that the Republicans’ push to make ID required at the polls is going to be compelling to all Trump supporters who have been lied to, and are convinced, that America is rife with voter fraud.

So where is all this going?  Probably to the U.S. Supreme Court, since the Constitution is very clear on assigning responsibility for carrying out elections to the states.

Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has resulted in Russian military leadership and personnel facing accusations of killing civilians, destroying infrastructure, and committing torture.

Then there are the atrocities in Gaza and Darfur.

All of these war crimes are punishable by life prison sentences.

OK, we all know that, even if Trump does go down, his criminal prosecution is very unlikely to follow this path.

But should we cheer that our president is a war criminal, one of the most vile people in human history?

The vast majority of Americans are sickened that the president of their country has led us to this point.
