Yeah - anti-capitalist types always get upset, but still want the best......

Fox - You are such a nerd........OK, SF is not a mathematics phenom by any stretch.....apologies to the BO for improperly dissing him/her/it........ However - estimated 88 to 242 million pounds/year of plastic marine debris. "estimated" 88 to 242 is quite large for a window..... But - you do realize that the US is dead last with regards to plastic pollution on all of those fancy charts I found........Still gonna use plastic straws......

Misleading at best.......

Swing and a miss - Throwing the BS flag.....(of course, it is BO, so what else would you expect) https://www.statista.com/chart/12211/the-countries-polluting-the-oceans-the-most/ A team of researchers in the United States and Australia led by Jenna Jambeck, an environmental engineer at the University of Georgia, analyzed plastic waste levels in the world's oceans. They found that China and Indonesia are the top sources of plastic bottles, bags and other rubbish clogging up global sea lanes. Together, both nations account for more than a third of plastic detritus in global waters, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. The original source data can be found here. In 2010, 8.8 million metric tons of mismanaged plastic waste came from China with an estimated 3.53 million metric tons of it ending up in the ocean. A total of 3.2 million metric tons of mismanaged plastic waste came from Indonesia and it is estimated that 1.29 million metric tons became plastic marine debris. The United States is also guilty of polluting oceans with plastic, but at a much lower level than China. Annually, 0.11 million metric tons of waterborne plastic garbage comes from the United States. https://ourworldindata.org/plastic-pollution SF is still insisting on plastic straws.......

https://100percentfedup.com/trump-blasts-teen-climate-actress-she-should-focus-on-other-countries-who-are-sending-tons-of-garbage-across-pacific-ocean-to-u-s/ Yesterday, at the Davos World Summit, a reporter asked President Trump about allegedly saying teen climate actress, Greta Thunberg “needs to work on her anger.” Trump clarified, ” I didn’t say anger I said, ‘anger management.'” Trump called out other countries for not doing enough to protect the environment from pollution, “We have to do something about other continents, we have to do something about other countries. When we’re clean and beautiful and everything’s good, but you have another continent where the fumes are rising at levels that you can’t believe.’ President Trump suggested the teen climate actress’s time would be better spent focusing on other countries, saying, “I mean, I think Greta ought to focus on those places, but we are doing better than we ever had in terms of cleanliness, in terms of numbers.” Trump slammed the pollution in the Pacific Ocean that ends up in the United States thanks to other countries, “We have a beautiful ocean called the Pacific Ocean, with thousands and thousands of tons of garbage flows toward us—and that’s put there by other countries.” He added, “So, I think Greta has to start working on those other countries.” Finally someone not afraid to call a spade a spade........

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/article239497583.html Puerto Rican officials continued to distance themselves from a growing scandal involving tons of emergency supplies that were never distributed in the wake of a powerful series of earthquakes. Speaking to reporters Tuesday, government officials said they had been blindsided by the revelation on Saturday that there was a warehouse packed with aid in the southern city of Ponce — near the epicenter of the quakes. Osvaldo Soto, the secretary of public affairs, singled out the head of the Bureau of Emergency Management, Carlos Acevedo, for dropping the ball. He said Acevedo, who was fired over the weekend, never took an inventory at the warehouse and never informed other officials that the aid was available. “The issue here is the mismanagement of these goods and food that could have been taken to people who needed them,” Soto told reporters. “The fact that these goods existed and were stored in that place — that was never brought up during our daily [emergency management] meetings.” “The system didn’t fail us, an individual failed us,” he added. Officials also confirmed that the warehouse — along with another one in Guaynabo — was under the control of the island’s emergency management agency, known as the NMEAD. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) controls seven other warehouses on the island designed to respond to disasters in the U.S. territory and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In a statement, FEMA said it was continuing to work with local authorities in their efforts to recover from the earthquakes and the 2017 hurricane season but safeguards were needed. “Given Puerto Rico’s significant history of fiscal irregularities and mismanagement, the federal government will continue to impose stringent fiscal oversight and risk management measures to ensure all disaster relief funding and resources are expended in a manner that directly assists the disaster survivors who need them most while protecting the U.S. taxpayers’ investment against the potential for waste, fraud, and abuse,” the agency said. Not only did funds disappear, so did supplies......Until now.....

The new "Extended Range" option for the Tesla motor cars.....

A perfect way to launder funnel money into the Railroad Union?

Was in Pittsburgh over the weekend. PA has the same ads with Lincoln and Franklin......with Lincoln wearing his flat-brim hat......Jeez....

Pictures from one of my VA dealers who was one of the 110-120 thousand that attended the rally on VA.

No - Some guy guest-hosting the Rush Limbaugh Show.......

I heard someone say when Trump was signing the China deal (while Pelosi was signing the impeachment papers) he should have looked up and said "How did this pen with Nancy Pelosi's name on it get in here?"

2 Branches of our Government at work yesterday......

I don't feel like we are getting the whole story here IMHO......What else happened in the 8 years after age 19 while she was getting clean and sober? If there was nothing else (ie: no more jail time, no more incidents or offenses, etc) then no, there should be no reason to deny her license. PA is one of the strict states (sitting right beside New York, New Jersey and Baltimore) I have to carry a bi-annual Vehicle Representative as a manufacturer rep. And during lot visits or shows, I better have it in my wallet or face a fine. And I have been checked on 2 occasions during my 32 year career in the state.
