This simple little pledge will make you feel better. "I promise not to watch the GOP debate."

The leader of that party who will not be there has 90+ felony charges against him, was a
Russian installed chaos agent to weaken and divide America, a con man, and is a large part
of the 14 million (real #) dead world wide from C-19 and the rest of those mother fuckers
still deny the reality of climate change as the world is burning up, flooding, and the polar ice
caps/glaciers world wide are melting. And they think being mean to some gay young man or
a T-girl along with taking away a woman's right to her own body and health care are good
things to run on. No, they are not good things to run on and women, Gen Z, along with the
majority of Americans do not support that crap.

Republicans, we are wrong on everything.

BTW Joe Biden is doing the best job of being President in my lifetime and in the history of America too.

Joe's gift to our grandchildren.

The new monument is being called Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – a name taken from the Havasupai and Hopi languages meaning "where Indigenous peoples roam," and, "our ancestral footprints." It's the third monument President Biden has dedicated specifically to protect land that's culturally important to Indigenous Americans.

Tarrio is a complete shit but after reading this I expect he will flip on both Stone & Trump

Theft, prison time, con man, violence, informant, seditious conspiracy, and so much more.

Jack Smith and company are asking for 33 years but after reading the man's background I expect
him to sing like a birdie. I hope he ties Stone into funding J-6, Tarrio, and the proud boys with
Russian money via Manafort and Bannon.

Workers clearing a fire break in the Yellowknife area.



Wildfire Threatens Yellowknife: Firefighters Prepare for Direct Confrontation Amidst Growing Danger

In the ongoing battle against a rapidly spreading wildfire to the northwest of Yellowknife, wildland firefighters are gearing up to confront the inferno head-on as warmer temperatures and gusty winds return to the area on Sunday. With the city’s mercury levels hovering at 19°C in the early hours of Sunday morning and a predicted daytime high of 21°C, concerns arise that the wildfire, reinvigorated by northwest winds gusting up to 35 km/h, could advance perilously closer to the city’s vicinity.

Direct Attack Strategy in Motion
In the face of these challenging conditions, firefighting teams are considering a direct attack strategy to curtail the fire’s progression. Mike Westwick, the fire information officer for the Northwest Territories (N.W.T.), stated, “We’re going to be looking at it this morning to see if we can put boots on the ground at the head of the fire and begin direct attack to slow down certain sections of this fire.”

Canada wildfires: thousands told to flee in British Columbia, as drone-flying tourists criticised

Source: The Guardian

Officials in the Canadian province of British Columbia have implored tens of thousands of residents to heed warnings and evacuate from areas threatened by “severe and fast-changing” wildfires, and urged “irresponsible” wildfire tourists to stop flying drones in the area.

snip

The situation in large parts of the scenic Okanagan Valley, including the city of Kelowna, was “highly dynamic”, Ma said. About 30,000 people were under evacuation orders while another 36,000 were under alert to be ready to flee, she said.

Kelowna, a city of 150,000, was choked with thick smoke as it became the latest population center hit in a summer of dramatic wildfires across Canada that has left millions of acres scorched. Some 3,400 workers are involved in firefighting in British Columbia, western Canada.

“The current situation is grim,” the premier, David Eby, told reporters on Saturday.

Now where do all the citizens of Earth evacuate to? This is really grim. Fuck all those assholes who made
fun of Jimmy Carter and his solar panels or Al Gore's warnings about climate change.

The fires are in Washington State too.

Kelowna, B.C. .... there are homes in that fire.

Yellowknife fires: Evacuees pack road and air routes ahead of noon deadline

Source: BBC

Residents of Yellowknife are scrambling to leave the northern Canadian city by air and road ahead of a noon Friday evacuation deadline.

There are hours-long queues at the airport and hundreds of passengers have been turned away from packed flights.

snip

Canada is having its worst wildfire season on record, with nearly 1,100 active fires burning across the country.

Experts have pointed to a warmer and drier spring than normal as the reason. Scientists say climate change
increases the risk of the hot, dry weather that is likely to fuel wildfires.
