California on fire

Images and Videos

At bottom: Mayor Karen Bass wisely ignores arrogant reporter shouting Elon Musk accusations at her. I will post more pics and videos as I find them while the fire burns:

Pasadena Humane

 is  asking for donations. EATON FIRE UPDATE: We are starting to see many animals come in with burns.

"This dog was found outside near the site of the fires. He is covered in burns and very dehydrated. His paw pads are singed and he is coated in ash. Despite being understandably shaken from his experience, he is incredible sweet. He is currently being treated by our Veterinary team in our ICU, where we are providing him with wound care, pain medications, and fluids."

'US News Live | Thousands Of Migrants Misled By Rumours Of US-Mexico Border Reopening Again | USA Mass movement of humanity was predicted by early global warming scientists. Now that it is happening, our leaders choose to ignore the connection.
 

DEAR ELON:

In India "Most students attend free public colleges or universities, and the central and state governments fund tuition. Students who are very poor may be able to attend public institutions for free." per google, someone tell Elon please, fund education. With one check he could send a thousand americans to engineering school.

tweeting to elon Christmas morning

NASA JSC mourned for years as we realized man going into space takes materials energy we don't have. Humans evolved from day one in this air; out there it's impossible. Taking care of This Planet is more important, while sending unmanned craft out. Sorry. Reality. @elonmusk

@CassandraofTro2

Total waste as space is not a fun place to go. I am a former NASA PAO, we went unmanned for many reasons. Please, Elon: You could build hospitals, schools, museums, parkways and so much more, create jobs and a thriving economy and EVERYONE would love you.

One more for Christmas

Imagine the architecture as Elon rebuilds the downtowns of every American city, the vitality, the jobs, people wearing nice clothes again. The beauty, textbooks that could be written as @elonmusk uses his cash to bring America back to life: Create Miracles. Send robots to Mars

UPDAFE 3:15 PM

Sigh, I am still such a flower child

My online book/ series "USA sided with pedophile priests, and soon after, the nation fell" please read it as I write it- I produced a blog about the clergy crimes and got a shocking reaction from rightwingers favoring the church; I write as one of 100K victim/ survivors who is also a journalist, adding more and editing all the time: could be a Netflix series https://cityofangelslady.blogspot.com/2024/09/prologue.html?zx=b03c077329b123a2

Election Day front pages from around the world

I downloaded these from Twitter Nov 6 then could not even look at them until today, Interesting as heck... front pages from The New European, Mirror, Germany calls Trump "horror clown", a global meme of the statue of liberty "last seen walking back to France," and The Atlantic cover about the Nov 5 election. Initial reactions, these were in the first hours after results when we all were stunned. I meant to look for more next day but it was weeks before I felt like blogging again, really. -ke

and and 

and and and 

and this meme was global 

and and and and and

You could write one check and solve this and so many other global problems, why don't you stop griping and use your resource that No One Else Has: Money

"LOL…Trump FALLS ASLEEP as Dems SINK HIS PLAN" Transcript/ video/ screenshots

Meidas Touch Network Dec 22, 2024 [Watch video at bottom]

There were people behind him.

you see this lady there like literally holding her nose.

TRANSCRIPT: 

Ben Meiselas: What was Donald Trump doing while Elon Musk was meddling with Congress's ability to continue to fund the government? Trump was literally sleeping at the wheel.

Take a look at him right here. Our research team dug up these photos. [screenshots from Meidas Touch Network video]

This is what Trump was doing while Elon Musk was basically running the show and trying to shut down the government.

Trump was signing hats while musk was handling the budget negotiations. That's what he was doing,

Signing and selling hats.

Here he is also another photo that our research team dug up he was golfing while Elon was handling everything you see him there. [not on this blog]

And I want to handle this delicately and just share with you my opinion as I look at this but he's looking sickly. I mean just take a look at him here and when we saw him take that trip to the Notre Dame cathedral in France as well.

He's not looking well. There were people behind him. I'm not showing the videos of trump [BLOGGER: THANK YOU! ]

There were people behind him. You see this lady there like literally holding her nose

People were looking at him almost like he was like a like a zoo animal like a like a gorilla throwing its poop around….

 

TRANSCRIPT CONT'D 2:36

Ben Meiselas: Again while Elon Musk was posting kill the bill and posting photos of himself holding samurai swords slashing at this bill to avoid a government shutdown, musk's actions could have led to a serious government shutdown.

Remember what musk said also. Musk said basically shut it all down. The government should not be funded and there should be no pieces of legislation through January 20th until Donald Trump is sworn in, which would have had cataclysmic effects on the country.

And like again just where was Trump?
