California’s Wildfires Are 500 Percent Larger Due to Climate Change"

No they're not. Wildfires are much less prevalent than in the 1930s and 40s.HEYYOU says

Has anyone noticed how fire burns around Rep/Con's homes without doing any damage.

It's called "defensible space". Lazy liberals should buy weedwackers.

Yep, he is buying off the fellow Dems that pushed for him to resign.

Finally America will be for Americans, and not Chinese communist officers and their stolen millions.

Nooooooooooooo! My $3M shaaaaaaaaaack!

Good.

2016: "Trump and his voters are so STUPID for thinking that a brick-and-mortar wall can stop the flow of illegals from the South of the border. Let alone that Mexico will actually pay for it".

2019: "What do you mean Mexico is stemming the flow of illegal by deploying their own troops on their own dime? Oh, no, you fucking cheat! You MUST build that PHYSICAL WALL, goddamit, and extract an actual CASH payment from Mexico, or your campaign promise is violated!"

China needs to put some asses in their Ghost cities, they've got the worlds greatest domestic economic engines, just sitting idle rotting away.
They should be practically giving those units away, and printing what ever money is needed to lend to noodle shops, to support the Domestic Auto and Housewares factories.
Their Consumer society should be rivaling our postwar boom. It would be the perfect lab, to one and for all to show the Socialists around the world. It's not the rich that makes an economy. Money is backed by the middle class. Not takers on the dole.

MAGA

Why wu wu well just look at all of the buyers here in the US that can't afford housing. What is the NAR worried about?

If Mexico has built a wall to keep people from coming to the US., then where are all those people locked in cages at the Mexican border coming from - France?

You know how they say: "Never show a half-finished project to a fool".

It's the 'torture of a thousand depreciations'! The fiends have done it again! That's it, solar patio lights from Walmart are dead to me.

Here in Sunnyvale it's more like: America will be for Indians.

Government should not be in healthcare business. It’s not it’s function and they suck at it.

I agree, except I think the government has a function in keeping businesses honest, as in the Bible:

Deuteronomy 25:13-16 ESV

You shall not have in your bag two kinds of weights, a large and a small. You shall not have in your house two kinds of measures, a large and a small. A full and fair weight you shall have, a full and fair measure you shall have, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. For all who do such things, all who act dishonestly, are an abomination to the Lord your God.

Preventing business fraud was the law in ancient Israel and it's still a good idea now.

So I would say that the government should force all healthcare providers to publish all of their prices and to require them to give reasonable accurate estimates before any non-emergency treatment. Then the free market should have some ability to force prices down.

When people are given an estimate of $20 for an aspirin, they are damn sure not going to pay that. They are forced to pay that only when the price is hidden until after they take the aspirin, the way it is now.

Time to load up on ammo. I see a drone, I'm shooting it down in self defense lol

Now that I think about it, if we can automate them with motion censors that's a nice neighborhood watch tool to clear out interlopers!

Do they make them in extra small sizes with remotes for heads that are too lazy to reach over to light their hookahs?

Completely made up and fabricated.

What we have is major and rampant TDS that is being promoted and spread by left wing media, and the people who live in that left wing media world. If people listen to NPR and read liberal shit, they'd think that world is about to collapse, planet has 12 years left, Trump is a dictator, socialism is good, being a faggot is the best, and the only problems worth solving are problems gays would like to solve.

This is what left wing media (ran by left wing oligarchs) are doing to their viewer/listeners. It's terrible.

Take yourself out of that propaganda, you'll do better too, both intellectually and emotionally.

Left tries so hard to sell solar panels from companies they own, they are willing to bullshit everyone about planet ending in 12 years. Only stupid would fall for their lies at this point.

Tom Steyer is practically the biggest investor into "alternative energy", and he is a billionaire.

HEYYOU says

Now it's time to boycott Netflix?

I think Netflix boycotted itself.

Companies that stay out of politics do fine. Those who start getting into politics, pretty much end up alienating half the America sooner or later. This was common knowledge when I was young. Business leaders these days are just not the same sort, too much easy money, they don't understand anything. And fuck, they have no competition.
Wait till there is competition, they won't be risking offending a single fucking cricket in the backyard if competition is significant.

USS Skate at the North Pole in 1959.

Border Patrol will only use them to frighten illegals, and not to toast them, so they say.

Why? She doesn’t hate America like Democrats.

They just keep rolling the debt over. They want the shares so they can sell later, or convert.
But personal debt, delinquency rates are probably up or steady.
Maybe all this debt is why 1 in 3 Americans have problems sleeping at night.

Whats behind the rise in delinquencies.

Netflix has peaked and now will face severe competition.

Reed Hastings must be a liberal and this is not unexpected since he lives in Santa Cruz.

I have a Roku player and dropped Netflix when I found out other free or cheaper stuff is available.

I have Xfinity as my ISP, so there is a new Xffinity channel available. I can watch free shit on 1. Vudu 2. Roku Channel 3. Pluto TV 4. Xfinity 5. Youtube

People actually upload movies to youtube.

There is ATT WatchTV that's $15 with Turner Classic Movies, Hulu which is $6 for minimal channels.

A pox on Netflix

LMAO now the Obamas and co fucked up Neetflix too.

Hillary lost yes, still sticks around though to whine about losing...

HEYYOU says

Is she gone,yet?

Great catch. You did indeed beat me to the punch on this one.

Perhaps this has something to do with the price plunge in Cupertino.

Anti-Chinese rhetoric? LOL

How about the part where housing prices have gotten so fucking high, there is limited upside for buyers (Chinese or otherwise)...

Fox faithfully trumpets the “alternative facts” of the Trump version of events

jazz_music says

Trump frequently finds inspiration for his tweets and fantasy-filled statements

First of all, I appreciate your straight forward reporting Jazz. I know I have criticized you in the past so I want to show appreciation when you're being honest. Thank you.

The article you shared is less than honest however. They interject opinion with facts: Trump may be inspired by Fox which he watches because they are more right leaning than CNN, the anti-Trump network, but are his statements "fantasy-filled"? You may agree with that, but THAT is their opinion and yours, not a statement of fact. And characterizing Fox as presenting "alternative facts" is true in one sense, but not the sense they mean it in, which is phony facts, which is their opinion again and not a statement of fact.

jazz_music says

Historically, such confrontations and escalations have often escaped the control of leaders far more talented than Trump.

HERE, they do it again. Who makes the value judgement previous leaders are more talented than Trump? History does, not NYT, or WaPo.

jazz_music says

The racial division, cultural conflict, and political polarization Trump has encouraged and intensified will be difficult to heal.

This reads more like an opinion piece than an article.

Sounds better than liberal women who are just mentally ill men thinking they are women.

HEYYOU says

FLOTUS - First lady of the united sluts?

She's here legally, and does seem to love this country.

It's the ones who are are here illegally or who hate this country who should be sent back.
