Band plays "Stars and Stripes" while everyone files out. As if it's the America it always was and always will be.

"Nothing we cannot do and no dream we cannot achieve."

Sounds like a Democrat talking to graduates of Howard University.

Nope. All companies are little monarchies. King RCade can still throw offenders in the DR dungeon at a whim.

Trump has announced it is the official policy of the United States Government that there are only two genders Male and Female

They all look like they're at a funeral. Did Trump put his hand on the Bible?

That's some weird shht.

It's not that Trump is great, it's that Democrats botched it...again.

The Indians that lived there wouldn't settle in those hills. It was common sense.

They say these things happen in threes.

First Bob Uecker

Then David Lynch

And now Very sad news from the music industry .... Kid Rock announced his tour dates

Hug your loved ones.

Rest in peace, Mr. Baseball.

My favorite Uecker story. Norm and Artie's Bob Uecker Story

The long national nightmare of elder abuse is over. Biden had no business being POTUS. He was propped up by the DNC because they didn't respect their constiuants enough to make an educated decision. Instead they elminated the competition to run a well-known brand name, knowing he wasn't up to the job. Then they watched him further deterioate and lied about it. Donald Trump didn't even have to campaign. Now he's waltzing back into the Oval because the DNC tied their own hands by not having an open convention and running a DEI VP that couldn't articualte how she would be different. FUBAR all around.

And outfitted with military grade weapons and hardware.

Took government out of the hands of the people

Trump might want to consider a new wardrobe made out of Kevlar.

Trump is a Trojan Horse. Once he's in, the ones that inhabit him will emerge and take over. As long as DOGE doesn't eliminate the office of VP, Theil minion Shady Vance will be installed as emperor. It's all over but the shouting, they've come to take what's ours.

L.A. has two seasons, Fire and Flood. Every year it burns somewhere. It was Palisades turn, that's all. California does a lazy job containing and rationing water. When they rebuild, maybe they'll learn something about homebuilding and firefighting. I doubt it. How would lawyers make money if there were no lawsuits? That's the next firestorm that is on the horizon.

DOGE will eliminate the department. Can't spend taxpayer dollars on rabble rousers.

Surprized our media reported this story. They didn't report Trump/SCOTUS malfeasance much before. Alito must've leaked it.

We'll eventually get a winter place somewhere down south. I'm never moving to the arid west again.

Doesn't take a genius to see that the Los Angeles basin is a natural tinderbox. Just go hiking. When the beetles start eating the dry trees it means they're just like matchsticks. The brush is worse.

I moved to Pennsylvania just to experience living with 4 seasons. California has 2 seasons, Fire and Flood. Phoenix has Warm and Hot. The monotony is revolting, I tells ya. I does something to perspective.

It's what happens when you have such a large population in such a big place.

A place that isn't meant for a large population. Los Angeles is a desert. They had to build an aqueduct from Owens Lake in NoCal to supply the water necessary for growth. The natives knew the place burned frequently. It's like building a community in a flood plain. Nature beats hubris every time.

Also that for most practial purposes the state with the very best weather (until recently) was also 'already taken', even back then.

My old grandpappy used his WWI soldiers payout to move the family from Chicago to L.A. back in '36. He did it because "At least out there you can't freeze to death."

Property taxes pay for city fire department resources. Howard Jarvis and the Voter Revolt called Prop. 13 in '78 created this mess. I was in 8th grade then, and our school district was gutted. Prop. 13 has kept property taxes low and caused the homes in SoCal at inflated value. Fire has revealed the flaws, as it naturally does.

"It's all building up to something. Something that can only be redeemed with fire".

That could be said about modern politics also. We never seem to learn.
