I also live in the area, and have taken photos of the rig for years, as it falls in a line of sight for the sunset from dog beach, the cargo ships are north/west of the platform, but an interesting idea. 3,000 barrels is nothing, the cargo ships are dumping more waste everyday than that spill, the diesel runs 24/7 and I clean the black soot off my windows everyday. That's a bigger environmental concern than the spill, and the Mayor of HB knows it, she will sue over lost revenue for the Air Show being shut down, and why all the press conferences.

@mehere8038 I was there, we had evacuated horses and goats in our backyard. I was 15, and there were many more after this. It is normal
The **Clampitt Fire**, also known as the **Newhall Fire**, was one of the largest wildfires in Southern California's history. It started on **September 25, 1970**, in the Newhall Pass area and quickly spread due to strong Santa Ana winds, eventually merging with the Wright Fire in Malibu. The combined fires burned over **157,058 acres**, destroyed **183 structures**, and tragically resulted in the deaths of **four civilians**.
This fire went from the area now burning in Santa Clarita all this way to Malibu, burning homes on the beach. It's where we live.
Firefighters from various parts of California, including Ventura County, CalFire, and the U.S. Navy, were involved in battling the blaze.

@mehere8038 You have strong opinions but weak knowledge and experience.
2017 Spain and Portugal fires destroyed over 1,000 structures, including 263 residential homes. The fires burned more than 45,000 hectares (111,120 acres) in Portugal alone. The combined death toll from both countries was 49 lives lost (45 in Portugal and 4 in Spain).
This death ratio is higher than our recent fires
Fire codes in Spain and California have some similarities, but there are also notable differences due to regional regulations and building practices.
In Spain, fire safety regulations are governed by the *Technical Building Code (CTE)* and other specific decrees like the **Fire Safety Regulations for Industrial Buildings (RSCIEI)**. These codes focus on ensuring buildings are designed and constructed to minimize fire risks and facilitate safe evacuation.
California, on the other hand, follows the *California Building Code (CBC)* and *California Fire Code (CFC)**, which are part of the broader **International Fire Code (IFC)* adopted with local amendments California's fire codes are particularly stringent due to the state's high wildfire risk, and they include requirements for fire-resistant materials, defensible space around structures, and specific landscaping guidelines to reduce fire spread.
While both regions emphasize fire prevention and safety, California's codes are more tailored to address the unique wildfire challenges faced in the state.

@hemaccabe4292 I agree, LATIMES died in 1996, I was there. This is not about the "parties", it's about a culture war on values, not unlike the Reformation/Counter-Reformation wars which lasted more than 100 years, we are early into it, and I have no side to join, my values don't align fully to either. California had a GOP Gov from 1983 to 1991, and LA had a GOP mayor from 1993 to 2001. I see little difference in outcome between the two parties, other forces are at play in California, as they are elsewhere.

@jascrandom9855 I was in high school in 1970, we were taught the "ugly", and the library had books about it. I read one written in 1962 called "The Invisible Government", a best seller, which tells the story, among others, of the Bay of Pigs and CIA involvement in IRAN. It's not about the facts, it is about the context in which they are placed, which is right out of Das Kapital, I know, because I was once par of the Marxist strategy to change the world. The "ugly" is not a secret as it is in other countries, like Russia and China. History should be taught in an age appropriate manner, the good, bad, and the ugly, but not in a doctrinaire manner, telling kids to believe this or you will be a heretic and shunned, which is what is going on.

@jascrandom9855 Not true, look at their case list, here's one: Collin Community College District: Professor Unconstitutionally Fired for Unionizing, Criticizing the College’s COVID-19 Response
Jones v. Collin College, If free speech is conservative, then I am conservative, even though I've been a prog-Dem since 1973 in California. You didn't mention the Psychology Today article from just last summer, hardly a conservative journal. Today, the doctrine, the dogma, the coerced conformity, it is wrong, and not progress.

@foufoufun Yes, that's a better definition of Science, an assertion or hypothesis must be testable, peer reviewed, and sometimes even recreated by others. Trump asked for both Bleach and UV Light to be tested. I read the transcript of the press conference, although I also heard it live. Both his comments about Bleach and UV light therapy made me CRINGE. But I decided to fact check, and found out there was a team at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles testing UV light inside the body for gastrointestinal pathogens asking for emergency permission to modify the catheter for Covid use. Fact Check = True. I then checked the ingredients in Bleach, and found that the base ingredients has been used for 100 years by Dentist to clear infection after root canal, and a 1-3% solution in a spay might be worth at least testing. Fact = Partly True. I did not vote for Trump 2016, he was never on my radar, I am not into the "celebrity" thing, but when it appeared he would win the nomination, I researched, and found he was REAL, and had substance, if not depth. I still did not think he could win, but he did. I've found myself agreeing with his policies and deeds, so discount his asinine personality, and pay attention to what he does, not what he says. I think mature voters should do that. He gets my vote, and also because I think the Democrats, my party, have not played fair in 4 years and do not deserve the office. Thanks for the civil engagement, people call here have called me fake, and empty account, and a liar. Seems no room for moderates to engage these days.

@jackgross2499 Apparently, he is not so transparent to you, it appears to me you are the one that's been "conned" by political predators like Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi. I am non-religious, so do not see him as a "god" anything, he's no doubt an a-hole, a narcissist, even an amateur, not someone I like very much, but I am mature enough to set aside my personal feelings and look at his actions, like not going to war with Iran, funding the Historically Black Colleges, developing economic zones in impoverished areas, prison reform, getting the EU to pay up on NATO and the UN, brokering a deal for Peace in the mid-east with Israel and the UAE, saving perhaps a million lives in Idlib, Syria, then pulling out when the left said it would be genocide, but it was not, and best of all pushing back on the CCP and trying to bring jobs back to America. I could go on. A mature person knows that two things can be true at once. Trump is an a-hole, but with great policies and actions for America. Grow-up.

Really? You should read the proposed NEW MATCH FRAMEWORK for K-12 in California. It's online CAL DEPT OF ED. Full blown CRT agenda, and teachers have to write a DEI statement to be hired. ASU Diversity Statement: We recognize that race and gender historically have been markers of diversity in institutions of higher education. However, at ASU, we believe that diversity includes additional categories such as socioeconomic background, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, veteran status, nationality and intellectual perspective.

@gusescobedo Nixon, the biggest crook in American history, and a Republican, signed the landmark 1972 Clean Water Act which continues to be the primary law protecting the nation’s fresh surface water. Ronald Reagan, a Republican, signed legislation that fixed the Ozone hole, he he was a liar, too. Life is full of subtlety and nuance, I don't base my voting decisions on RAH RAH RAH, for one side or the other. America is in a balancing act, and the Green New Deal will throw us out of balance, which is the goal of many who are promoting it, like you. Your unicorn "return to the garden" utopia is in practical terms a dystopia. We can moderate our actions, design solutions, but we don't need to commit Harakiri in the process. I don't believe Trump's metaphorical rhetoric, he's an ass, but I can see the action, and I approve. You don't, so we disagree, that's what the vote is for, but the Dems showed bad faith and did not except the last election, so I no longer trust them. Trump 2020.

I am not a conservative, but a California DEM, and from everything I've read so far, without anyone actually getting her side, it appears to me she was "debating" and "discussing" the very problematic new Texas law that would allow holocaust denial material into school libraries, not CIRRICULUM. And I agree, it's BAD LAW, with perhaps good intention. But vilifying this woman without all the facts, or her own qualifying statement, is defaming, and I hope she sues.

@maximilianadair3237 Yes, "Tucker" is not journalism anymore than Reid in my estimation, but both often give me enough information so I can do my own research. Canada has taken a turn toward doctrinaire governance in more than one way, including a recent constitutional crises as described by former MP Brian Peckford. Your description of "covid disinformation" and mine would be different, and I am saying this after being jabbed thrice. I lived in San Francisco during the 1980s AIDS/HIV epidemic, Fauci spread disinformation then, just as he is doing now, and most recently as of last week. You are much more of a conforming conservative then you think, you are just conserving leftist/progressive talking points, that's the only difference. Lock step, but still a false consciousness,, no different than those you oppose.

@maximilianadair3237 Fauci and Collins indeed had something to hide, it is called "gain of function" research they helped finance when trusted institutions recommended not doing it, especially not in China. The CDC was wrong during the AIDS/HIV pandemic and WHO has deep political ties to China. I am not a conspiracy theorists, but all large institutions like the CDC and WHO are political in nature, they are less science and more public policy makers, which means they are political. If you've ever attempted a grant to do science, you'd know that writing a grant proposal is excruciatingly political, and if not done in alignment with current dogma, will be rejected. No conspiracy theory, just the way of the world. It's both good science and good public policy to question the institutions, something I learned as an activists in the 1960s, and now being lost to a new orthodoxy which you, and many like you, say can't be questioned.

@Tsimy876 "guide over the rights"? Never said a "woman" by whatever definition, should lose any rights, certainly not all rights. All citizens give up some level of autonomy living in the framework of a democratic system. The famous line, your "right" to swing your arm ends where my nose begins. That's the legal and constitutional question I'm asking. Where does the right of the "host" end and the fetus begin? Right now 21 weeks is a clear line. In 10 years it might be 10 weeks, in 50 years it might be conception? In fact, it is right now if another "host" is willing to take the fetus to term.
As a man, my individual code is part of the fetus. A man provides material for the conception, which does not end at conception. My DNA is unique and coded into that fetus. I have some rights, too.
Don't forget, it's also now possible for two women to contribute DNA to a fetus.There are some fertility treatments that can allow same-sex female couples to have a child that is genetically related to both parents:
Technology and the law has always fascinated me, and does in the case of "rights" under the constitution It's getting weird.

@yurei8 "CRT only about the law". I'd go back to Bell, and say yes, mostly, but when Crenshaw and crew started the actual CRT movement, and it is in the literature collected by Lindsay for his book "Race Marxism", the goal became a fundamental change to the entire framework of culture and required that change be taught to children, where culture begins. It's not about "skin color", and why a political candidate like Larry Elder can be called "The Black Face of White Supremacy" or when Biden said, "if you don't vote for me, you ain't Black", what we are seeing is a reformation of the old Marxist's "class-struggle" theory as advocated by post-WW2 Marxists like Marcuse and Gramsci before him. I'm for individual sovereign rights, but the CRT crowd believes identity is achieved through social group identity. This is leading to a sort of resegregation which the CRT might call "creative destruction" of systemic Racism, which is their goal. I think it's wrong, and empirical evidence and experience is showing that it is.

You just said this country is "low on humanity and kindness", and then said we are "not so much" different, which is it? Your assertion is incoherent, America is the most philanthropic country on the planet, we even sacrifice our lives in defense of others. BTW, I had symptoms in April very much like the President, I'm 65, and was fine in a few days. We are NOT all the same, and our life experiences are not the same, that's why we have "the rule of law" in a civil society, because we do not all act the same. I am a registered Democrat for Trump 2020.

@pudgethefish5180 Yes, Sweden may have had the correct approach, after all, but we've seen it politicized in the UK, the EU, and to unseemly levels, here in the US by both sides. That's what makes me most sad. My life spans the years of Polio, the Hong Kong Flu, HIV, and now Sars-cov-2. As Ovid said 2,000 years ago, "The this becomes that, the that becomes this, but the sum of all things remains the same. Cheers!

Michael Wuj Agreed, the left keeps trying to tell me I am conned by him, in love with him, think he's some sort of "god". Ridiculous, he's often a clown and buffoon, I never thought twice about him in the past, and he often makes me cringe with his adolescent rhetoric, but then I look at his polices and actions, and find that I agree. A mature person can set aside personal feelings and make a considered decision which doesn't take into account a persons "appearance". Ironically, the fact the new left hate his "persona" is actually the very brand of bigotry they "riot" against. Judge the man by his actions, not by your feelings about his personality. That's pure hypocrisy.

@annajorgensen1627 I am a Jew, and understand, and often fear those who make symbols of people. We've seen it here in the U.S. with George Floyd and others. Yes, symbols are often used in the service of malevolence. As you, I do my due diligence, but perhaps focus on other areas which concern me as an American. America has a solid framework that I trust in, but it's not Trump chipping away at it, quite the contrary. I believe we are still in an age of the Westphalian Peace, with nation/states as the best political form we can have. Perhaps someday humans will evolve past that, but not yet, and just hoping and imagining it's true, is foolish. Europe waged a 30 years war, which was more like 100 years, based on religious symbols, one, a single G-dhead, the other, with Three. America learned from that horror, and I want the framework against that to stand. Trump is not an ideologue, he is "in the moment", and extenstialist of the first order, although he wouldn't know what that means. He is not religious, either, and has no pretensions in that regard, and it's unkind to think so.

@annajorgensen1627 I am 65 and have health issues, and pre-existing conditions will not be touched. I've not paid any attention to Trump in the past, but as President have watched closely. I find it difficult to listen to him, no doubt, but I agree with the policies and actions this administration has taken. I was facing the Obama Care tax because I was self-employed, as were many of my friends, it was terrible, and Trump stopped that tax, and gave me a tax break which added $1500 to my yearly income, and I'm middle-class. My retirement account, which is not huge, has increased 67% under Trump, and if it stays stable, will provide for me in retirement. I am so afraid of a Biden win, am considering cashing out of my equity position and sitting on the cash, as are many other small investors who fear a Biden/Harris win. Sorry, I don't see what you see, and in my neighborhood in Los Angeles County, I can't put a Trump sign in my window, because I'd get a brick through it. It's the extremes from both sides pushing in, and I don't want to see the new-left have power in the House, the Senate, the Presidency, and the Court. that would be very, very bad. I don't see the same issue with the GOP today, and remember, I am a registered Democrat in California, and have been a social activist since 1971 when I first marched against the war in Vietnam. Trump is not "evil", he's just a human being, with a personality disorder, to be sure, but I know many high functioning people just like him who are not evil, just a pain to deal with.
