California Bad, Texas Good?

$750K per year? POTUS makes $400K plus a $50K expense allowance. The Chief Justice of the United States makes $312,200. The Speaker of the House makes $223,500.

 
Californians are pissed off over high gasoline prices. Newsome pushes new law requiring in-state refiners to store a certain amount of gasoline earmarked for use in California during high gas price events.

Refineries are shutting down. Cal requires a certain blend of gasoline different from the rest of the country, and certain cities have their own additional requirements to the blend of gasoline sold in their cities...

The Monterrey Shale is big. BIG. HUGE. But.............fracing is not permitted...

Such a waste. Remember, J. Paul Getty became the World's richest man in the late 1960s and 1970s largely based on his California oil fields. I heard he bought himself a British Lordship in his later years.

When I posted that unconfirmed 2 days a go I was thinking it would be debunked.:facepalm:
Wonder if Calif vetted all those Mexican fire fighters and made sure they can be tracked
 
This kinda fits here since we know Calif will have flags at half staff.I
I have mixed felings but do think we have honored Carter. If they go back to half Jan 21 then I am ok with it

On Monday, Governor Greg Abbott ordered that all flags at the Texas Capitol and other state buildings will be raised to full-staff on Jan. 20, 2025.

Donald Trump will be sworn in for his second term as president in Washington D.C. on that Monday.

Gov. Abbott's announcement cited a federal statute which says the flag should be displayed on all days, including Inauguration Day.

The president-elect has spoken out against the idea of flags being at half-staff for his inauguration."




 
House Speaker Johnson has ordered US Govt flags flown at full staff for Trump Inauguration then lowered back to half for remainder of Carter 30 days
Govt Abbott had already so ordered that in Texas
Bet DeSantis will too
 
Just had a telecon with my sister-in-law in Laguna Woods. She said that the National Guard is really taking a hard line on enforcing the curfew, and the police are cracking down on looters. They're making some progress on the fires but need a couple of days of light winds. Death toll likely to increase once fires are out and cadaver dogs can get in the area to search.
This is really a horrible situation for the folks affected by the fires. We need to continue to pray for them. Recovery could take a long time.
