Blistering editorial from the National Review, from which comes this excerpt: “It’s also important for Republican senators to speak out against this effort and make it clear that they won’t stand for it when it comes time for Congress to consider electors. Finally, it’d be best of all if the president reconsidered going down this route. He’s turning a narrow election defeat into a bid for infamy.” (more…)
2GreenEnergy “headquarters” is in a rural part of Santa Barbara County, about 30 miles inland from the city itself, which is located on California’s central coast.
Insofar as this area is sparsely populated, we have what one might expect in terms of domesticated cows, horses, sheep, pigs, and, of course, family pets. Living among us are the abundant squirrels, gophers and rabbits, which function as snack food for the birds of prey like owls and hawks. Surrounding all this is a considerable wild animal ecosystem: rattlesnakes, coyotes, raccoons, mountain lions, bobcats, deer, foxes, and an occasional bear. (more…)
Reader A submitted the assertion to the left, and Reader B commented, “Yes it was. It just wasn’t set up for that person to be supported by sycophantic power hungry assholes to let him have his way. That’s where the problem lies.” (more…)
Glad you feel that way, Mitt. But if you find it hard to imagine now, just wait a couple of weeks, and this particular effort to subvert the election will look tame in comparison.
Trump’s going to play this as aggressively as possible, until it’s clear that his next action will result in his being hauled off in handcuffs. Then it’s off to the fatherland.
Yes, the land of vodskies, stroganoff, and borscht. The nation that gave us Tchaikovsky, the Ballet Russe, and Dostoevsky. The land of money laundering and corruption that makes the U.S. appear honest by comparison.
Here’s a small turbine that can be immersed into a stream or mounted on land to catch the wind, whose promoters claim is good for powering remote devices.
No one says this is impossible, but at $269, isn’t it extremely impractical, given that alternatives include a $23 piece of solar PV or a $40 hand crank generator?
I note that they’re taking “pre-orders,” meaning that the product hasn’t even been built yet. Hmmmm.
From Bernie Sanders: The Walton family is worth $238 billion. Yet they pay wages so low, 14,541 of their workers in 9 states are forced to rely on food stamps to feed their families. I say to the Walton family: Get off welfare. Pay your workers a living wage—at least $15 an hour.
It truly is outrageous that you and I are paying for the Medicaid services and food stamps that go to minimum wage workers who would die/starve without them, when these people are working for people worth a quarter trillion dollars. (more…)
He’s going, but not without doing as much damage as possible.
From National Public Radio: Starting Tuesday, oil and gas companies can pick which parts of Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge they’re interested in drilling. It’s the latest push by the Trump administration to auction off development rights in the pristine landscape before President-elect Joe Biden takes office. (more…)
The “surfer girl” here was bitten by a shark, a shark that, for reasons we’ll never know, changed its mind almost instantaneously, and simply swam away. That’s good luck.
And speaking of good luck, it appears that the United States has once again rejected attempts by a U.S. president to overturn rule of law for his own betterment. Trump still has the backing of over 70 million voters, but he’ll be leaving office on or before January 20th, 2021.
One of the joys of having Trump gone is that Americans will no longer have to hang their heads in shame when we encounter people in other countries. Our neighbor to the north has felt our pain since the very beginning, and it sure will be nice to have their renewed respect and admiration.
As shown here, Canada has a markedly different culture than the United States, one aspect of which is that they don’t take themselves too seriously.
E
ven after all the years since the 9/11 attacks, it’s still hard to believe that Rudy Giuliani, a man we once afforded so much admiration, has turned into an absolute buffoon. And let’s not forget that he’s a criminal as well, if only based on his actions in the Ukrainian extortion case. (more…)
