When The Lights Go Out In The ‘City By The Bay’

Rolling blackouts warned to hit millions in California as California becomes just Another Third World Shithole…

Los Angeles Times–Newsom pledged a full investigation into the cause of the power shortage.

“We’ve always maintained that, a golden oldie, you can’t control the weather, but you can prepare for the weather events,” he said. “And let me just make this crystal clear: We failed to predict and plan [for] these shortages, and that’s simply unacceptable.”

He framed the shortage as a consequence of the state’s transition from polluting gas plants to cleaner sources of energy and said the high demand placed on the grid due to the record heat over the last few days has exposed “gaps in terms of that reliability.”

Safety And Security For Me But Not For Thee

Mayor Lori Lightfoot defends ban on protesters on her block: ‘I have a right to make sure that my home is secure’ — But you ‘galley slave proles’, not so much.

Psychology Today–Many clinicians, political commentators, and members of the public have speculated upon the mental health of President Donald Trump. Indeed, over 70,000 people self-identifying as “mental health professionals” have signed a petition declaring that “Trump is mentally ill and must be removed.” In sociological terms, the “medical gaze” has been hitherto focused on President Trump, and to a lesser extent his ardent supporters.

Some have even suggested that these opponents are experiencing a specific mental condition—a condition which has been labelled “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS).

Bill Barr went through ‘No Class’ Jerry Nadler and the Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee like poop through a goose.

Nadler’s response was a firm no.

“You’re a real class act,” Barr said to Nadler before laughing at the chairman. “A real class act.”
