I hate conspiracies and will await investigation. But I agree the number of fires starting at once is very suspect. They are looking into the sources.

Yes. For hurricanes. They are actually more devastating than wildfires. Cover more ground. I haven't researched and don't know if the state of Florida has a mandated insurance maximum rate that insurers must adhere to. I believe I have heard that is the case in California but if someone knows for sure feel free to correct me. I think one can still get coverage in Florida just not covering hurricane damage. Lucky me I live in Arizona. Biggest threat really is HEAT. So unless my house melts I should be good. 😃

SoCal is in a dry spell yes. Been happening since recorded time. Wet years. Dry years. Of course the climate change warriors will try to attach this in some way on carbon taxes and SUVs. As your article tries to do. Yes Virginia climate change is real. Has been for millions of years and will continue to be so. No denying climate changes. How much and who causes it is a matter for debate. But this disaster isn't relevant to that. This IS a matter of poor management. Smart people clear out buildup of dry tinder in areas where people live. Smart people plan for this. I live in the edge of the Arizona desert. Our fire teams are busy clearing out this stuff during off season when there are no fires and creating fire breaks. Just as a note that this was predictable all of the big insurance companies are pulling out of California house insurance market. They have been doing so since last year. The combination of potential catastrophe (like now), increased home building prices and state mandated premiums being held to a price they felt didn't cover their risk had them decide it wasn't going to be tenable. So it was foreseen by them. Sadly the political parties in power in California failed to see it. Or do anything about it. https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/ca-wildfire-backlash-state-farm-other-insurers-slammed-dropping-coverage

This is a problem that should have been expected. I am no expert on the situation but I am aware of some parts of California that do not allow property owners to clear dead brush or plant non-native fire resistant plants. And apparently no one thought to create fire breaks. It seems there are some folks that think they need to leave everything native. Well, native in the southwest included massive wild fires in the past so why would we think we can stop them if the means are there to start them? I seriously doubt their fire departments can handle this with the winds moving the fires so fast and so much dry fuel. I am familiar with fire danger having lived in Arizona for 20+ years. I watched a fire in 2005 from my front yard with the car packed and ready to go if the wind shifted. I expected it and didn't sleep getting up to have a cigarette every hour and watch the advance through the hills. Got lucky and had a light sprinkle came down at 3 AM which dampened everything and next day the fire guys got it managed. Yes we had a massive party for all the firemen the next month. Here we have no restrictions on clearing potential fire sources and do different management of undeveloped areas. I think it helps massively. Hopefully when this is over California revisits how it manages open land. Perhaps that will prevent a repeat.

I do not believe any foreign nation had respect for Kamala. Nor do I believe they respect Joe Biden. And frankly it isn't that important to me. What is important is that as President whoever we have makes smart decisions and stops trying to buy respect around the world. The US is no longer flush with cash and needs to stop pissing away billions of dollars on places that hate us, And it would also be better if nations that do not love the west (the west probably includes wherever you are from) are more afraid of our president than like him. Sometimes a little crazy is a good thing. Seems like it worked better ala N Korea and Iran. Heck even Russia was better behaved when Trump was president. Note before and after Trump Russia invaded Crimea Under Obama) and then Ukraine (under Biden). N Korea stopped missile testing during Trumps first 4 years. And Iran backed insurgents attacked Israel via Gaza and Lebanon under Biden. Hey, I don't know if Trump is WHY nothing happened then or if it will stop. But I suspect there is a better chance than the cackling DEI moron Kamala.

And..... I won't cum in your mouth.

I voted for Trump. And I knew going in there would be times when I shake my head. Still cetain I chose the better of two choices. Not really sure what his end game on these comments is. But, and there is always a but, his first term he did not instigate a single military action. Until he actually DOES it I'll withhold judgement.

Yes I know. And Trump was also not convicted in the senate two times. I hope this concept of using legal shenanigans dies with the last Trump administration. Democrats need to find a better way to make their case than lawfare against their political opponents regardless of how much they hate them. And I hope the GOP doesn't go down the same road now they are in power. Despite my belief that Biden (Joe, Hunter and others) sold influence I don't think it serves the country to chase after them now.

I see an area I might have been in error. In fact the House voted to impeach for lying in court (perjury) but the senate voted not guilty. They voted 50-50 guilty of obstruction of justice. So I'm trying to figure out who forced him to accept a fine of $25,000 and suspension of his law license plus barred from practicing in front of the SCOTUS? If not congress who had the power to levy those punishments?

Read my comments again. I said Clinton was impeached. - Correct I said he was found guilty of minor charges - Correct I said his crimes didn't rise to removal from office - Correct People seem to think impeachment can only end in removal from office or innocence. Where am I wrong. I give up on that Hawaiian dude who I can see just posts one liners to everyone so I feel like I am now part of the party here. Perhaps you can state precisely WHAT I posted that is incorrect. Unlike some here I am happy to admit an error if pointed out. I don't lose sleep over this <deleted>.

Pretty sure EVERY candidate for president in the last 50 years has unlimited ego. Most just do a better job of hiding it than Trump. 🤣

Is it the fact Clinton wasn't removed from office you think he was found innocent? Love to hear what part you disagree with. After nearly 14 hours of debate, the House of Representatives approves two articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton, charging him with lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstructing justice. Clinton, the second president in American history to be impeached, vowed to finish his term.

If you disagree with my position try to articulate where I am in error. I await an intelligent difference of opinion.

I am a member of Costco. I shop at the Scottsdale Arizona store. I've "heard" it is the largest liquor retailer in the USA. Looking at the vast space filled with beer, wine and liquor I can believe it. About 6 years ago they had one of my favorite scotch on sale. Balvenie 14 year Caribbean Cask for I think $55. I called a fellow friend who also appreciates the fine work our Scottish distillers put in and we paid a visit walking out with 10 bottles each. Also a better deal on gasoline (petrol) and they sell a hot dog lunch or pizza slice for a loss. You read that right. They lose money on them. Gets people in the store and man is it hard to not spend when in there.

Had drinks with a Canadian couple yesterday after golf here in Arizona. They were THRILLED that he was going to step down. But they are still concerned that even the conservative party in Canada is still too far left politically. But perhaps it is moving right as we speak.

Kinda new to me too. I mean I've seen where people can WATCH the mahouts bath the elephants but actually participate? Hmmm.

Not really. You seem to confuse what it means to be impeached. But hey the internet is replete with people who don't understand things.

Yes - by the impeachment committee.

Reading comprehension is a good skill. Learn it. No where did I say he was found guilty in a court of law nor that he was removed from office. In fact I said the opposite.

My statement is 100% correct. Being impeached means he was tried. The outcome is irrelevant. Impeachment is the act of having the hearings. Totally separate from outcome. And so far in the recent impeachments they have had correct outcomes IMO. Trump was being politically harassed and merited acquittal. Similar to some of his legal charges only they are held in far left enclaves with leftist judges and DAs so he isn't always acquitted. Clinton was found guilty. Yeah I know a lot of people didn't catch that. He committed perjury and was caught. And the punishment was appropriate for his crime. What he did was stupid and illegal but he was a second term popular president and it was a personal issue unrelated to his duties so removal from office would have been over the top punishment. Since he wasn't removed lots of people think he was also acquitted. Wrong.

Actually he was impeached twice. The outcome doesn't change the fact he was impeached. Same with Clinton. People think he was acquitted because he stayed in office. In fact he was found guilty of the charges but the punishment wasn't removal from office.

The cult are those who think these legal attacks are legitimate. Of course the worst of them all was the false attacks on Brett Kavanaugh. No court in the world would have even allowed charges based on the claims made against him but we had to allow it in his confirmation hearings. The pain it must have caused his family is despicable and Cristine Ford should be in prison. But she is probably a hero to cult members like yourself.

I disagree. Some nebulous comment about corporate infiltration is too vague. I believe he owes any fan of his that paid money for a ticket specifically to see him a response on exactly WHAT changed.

I feel he owes it to any of his fans hoping =to see him there to explain WHY.

As far as I can tell no one. Lucky for everyone the USA is like a huge ship that course changes take a long time to make an impact and storms don't sink it.
