I wonder if they're actually measuring explosions from the civil war going on? Those readings are about right... Still a good idea to continuously monitor and prepare. But not just for earthquakes.

Just to be clear... Johnson was a Democrat, correct?

Score one for JD Vance... Insurrectionists carrying foreign flags are attacking immigration enforcement officers, while one half of America’s political leadership has decided that border enforcement is evil. — JD Vance (@JDVance) June 8, 2025 I wonder if the idiot protestors carrying Mexican flags realize that looks a lot like a foreign invasion. Which, of course, would trigger a military response. Seems like an own goal, eh?

Ray Epps. Trump told them to peacefully and patriotically march over and let their voices be heard.

That's one opinion... I wonder if Gov George Wallace agreed to having federal troops?

They're certainly not going to stand idly by for another summer of "mostly peaceful" violence, arson and looting. Trump learned his lesson last time.

20 minutes and a fast rope... But let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Define Fascist. Simples... Anyone he disagrees with. That's the lefty definition.

They only associate their votes with the free stuff they're promised.

We've been advocating release of the files for years and years. The sooner and less redacted, the better. BTW, had the files implicated Trump, 99/100 odds those parts would have been leaked before November.

Looks like the mostly peaceful lefties are up to their usual. The lefties have been in FA mode. They're fixing to go into FO mode: Bongino's looking for the public's help identifying the yellow helmet. I hope they use just a small bit of the resources and the energy they used going after Jan6ers.

UPDATE: White House statement: “In recent days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California. These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California’s feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens. That is why President Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester. The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs. These criminals will be arrested and swiftly brought to justice. The Commander-in-Chief will ensure the laws of the United States are executed fully and completely.” -Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary FAFO.

Same drawer as the candles and KY?

Just another day in Paradise.

And that's just the part they let us know about.

Someone help me out here. I was looking for that meme of Batman slapping the snot out of Robin for saying that...

That goes back to what Epstein was. Extortion doesn't work once it's all out in public.

I also get a kick out of the guys who think the GPS we use in our cars is the best that's available to the military.

What a hoot. Suddenly, the Dems want the files released. After decades of not wanting them released.

I ended up installing Bluestacks Android emulator on my PC to run Apps. It's a PITA, but beats dealing with a tiny screen. I'm wondering if Krungsri (etc) will allow you to have your account on more than one device at a time?

I guess that means you gotta check their immigration status before you hire anyone to work around the house?

I hope some folks on the ground can keep us updated since the Thai gub'ment announcements seem clear as mud.

Don't forget the future lawsuit if you get rich and famous decades later. Especially if you lean conservative.

I can't disagree, because I don't know the answer. But I suspect it's more nuanced. I'm a big fan of e-bikes and e-scooters and I hope this doesn't lead to mass changes in condo and apartment regulations to ban them. But there has to be some financial accountability. "Back home" the e-bike manufacturer would probably be on the hook simply because they have the deep pockets and product liability insurance. In LOS, I just don't know.

On a somewhat related note, I wonder who is financially liable for the damage (and legally if there are injuries). And I wonder whether there are insurance policies in LOS that would cover that kind of liability? (Policies that don't have small print on page 48 that would deny coverage...)
