Yes, I'm certain Newsom would have been the pride of the republican party had he only spent tax-payer money on completely ineffective wildfire management strategies. aa

Basically anything south of Santa Cruz has wildfires fueled primarily by scrub brush (Woolsey, Camp, Malibu etc). There are some wooded areas in Big Bear and Mammoth, but they make their own snow so more draught resistant. Paradise was farther north (near Reno) and in a forested area. aa

Zero facts in this statement. The sole reason CA has had such horrific wildfires is due to the drought conditions present from roughly 2012 through last winter. "raking the forest" is a delusion Trump started as thought exercise going into re-election. aa

Pray tell - when will the ideology of slavery be back in style? aa

If anyone needs to imprisoned it's these people who cannot fail to open their mouths without subtracting from the total sum of human intelligence, for the crime of converting everyone else's oxygen into carbon dioxide. I have a list. aa

At a minimum, they are being deliberately underfunded (except DoD), which can significantly amplify the appearance of incompetence. aa

Regardless of your interpretation of their beliefs, have Palestinians outside of Hamas committed crimes worthy of death while living in Israel? If one basketball team pulls out guns and shoots their opposing basketball team dead, does that give the right to the fans of the dead basketball team...

Definitely sounds like you were a leader - and one I'd follow. aa

The definition of a leader is, in its most simplest form, someone who has followers - those who voluntarily have an admiration for your vision and direction, want to help get you there, and are anxious to see what happens next. From that perspective, leadership can come from anywhere in an...

The question in its original deposit was 'why do people think military service is a good qualification?' I mentioned a few reasons and can think of no fewer than 50. Somewhere that question meandered into the 'according to Hoyle' hierarchy of public service - something of complete disinterest...

I cannot sanction this. I was in Bosnia in 2000 and there were women at every level and branch of military service (US and across countries) making tactical, strategic, and operational decisions. That was 24 years ago - an entire military career, and it's been like that for at least another 20...

One of the more important things politicians have to help decide is how, when, and where to deploy the US military. I would definitely prefer someone who has been in the suck to do that. Contrariwise, no one votes on how and where to put out fires. But if we started doing that, then yes, I'd...

Curious why they don't go to Russia since it's right next door? Oh wait, no it isn't. aa

I like how the article says we 'apprehended' them. They literally look for the first security agents they can find to declare asylum, and they all have the same reason: They don't like the direction China is going wrt human rights, freedom of speech, retaliation, etc. So they come here and...

Besides, I get to have guns. It's in the constitution - so you can FRO with that right to be alive shit. aa

"Right to Survive" is non-sensical. Either you are alive and have rights, or dead and have none. Those questioning the morality of lying, cheating and stealing to survive are academics. Those actually doing it don't care about the morality of their choices. aa

A tank typically doesn't explode when hit by an M1 Abrams. The projectile used against enemy tanks is a depleted uranium dart that has no explosive payload whatsoever. It's destruction power is 100% kinetic energy and can slice through enemy armor packages like a samurai sword through butter...

Pride in the defense of the world is a pretty shitty ROI when you factor in how much we're also paying for healthcare and education. aa

Not sure about that, but I bet getting a free ticket to NYC, Chicago, or San Francisco from the governors of Florida and Texas attracts immigrants. aa

In the US I'm pretty sure you'd still have to work with UBI - I mean what if you got cancer? aa
