Newscum is going to initiate an investigation to determine what went wrong - just like the four time he commissioned an investigation to find out why gasoline prices are so much higher in California than the rest of the continental 48.

In the end (and just like the gasoline investigations),the results of the investigation will point directly to the policies of this state, him personally, and Los Angeles' Democratic policies - to include other individuals which help him survive the last recall attempt.

Nothing published and no mention of any investigation will made public or pass the media's requirements to be a worthy story to publish.

It's funny, when I moved downed to LA in 85, their gas was dirt cheap compared to what I was used to, and there were oil wells all over that place.

Not so much now.

Remember the Marshall Plan, named after General of the Army and Secretary of State George C. Marshall, relied on massive quantities of federally collected tax dollars to rebuild Europe.

That is what Newscumsucker is saying he's working on.

Similar to the interview that he did with Carlson. These long-form interviews I enjoy having in the background where I can take occasional breaks and listen in.

At 54:00 some interesting insight into the LA mayoral campaign focus group observations and their racial breakdown reactions.

Israeli startup FireDome uses missile defense tech to combat wildfires
All Israel News Staff | Published: January 17, 2025

The Israeli startup company FireDome has developed a system to combat wildfires that is based on missile defense technologies. The brand-new company was established in 2024 by the CEO Gadi Benjamini and Dr. Adi Naor Pomerantz.

FireDome’s system, inspired by Israel’s renowned Iron Dome aerial defense, integrates advanced defense strategies with artificial intelligence.

As Los Angeles is battling extensive wildfires, Benjamini who is an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) military veteran, explained the similarities between warfare and fighting wildfires.

“Similar to a war, to fight wildfires there are the firefighters, which are the infantry. There are airplanes, but darkness makes it harder to fly during the night and also during strong winds, and what we develop is a kind of artillery support,” Benjamini said in an interview with The Times of Israel.

“The biggest challenge in the climate tech area are wildfires, and more specifically, the reaction to wildfires, because many companies focus on detection,” he added.

Benjamini emphasized the unique features of his company.

“What we develop is a system to enhance firefighters’ abilities and capabilities to address more fires simultaneously, like spot fires and ember, and to reach places where sometimes they [the firefighters] can’t, due to different logistics constraints that they have,” he argued.

Benjamini explained that FireDome’s system, inspired by Israel’s renowned Iron Dome aerial defense, integrates advanced defense strategies with artificial intelligence. The autonomous system is designed to detect and suppress wildfires and offers two defensive layers.

“The smart capsules contain sensors that allow us to program the specific location in which they open up, disperse the material in the air above the ground, and create a kind of dome protection around the property or asset, so if a fire approaches, it will block it, and we have the second layer to identify and react to spot fires that are ignited by drifting embers,” he said. “Eventually, the property remains intact and without any damage, similar to how the Iron Dome protects a city or neighborhoods by intercepting missiles before they arrive,” he continued.

FireDome’s ambition is to deploy its first test system in Israel in May, focusing on wooded areas such as the forests in and around Jerusalem and the Carmel Forest close to the northern Israeli city of Haifa. If things go according to plan, FireDome intends to test its system in the United States in 2026, focusing on the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas.

Benjamini believes it is too early to draw any conclusions from the current lethal wildfires in Los Angeles County. However, he argues that once it is operational, FireDome’s system offers advantages for future fighting against wildfires.

“We can handle strong winds and we can handle spot fires, which are the main advantages of our solution,” he assessed. “Putting out a fire at the interface between the wild land where the fire started and the neighborhood could have made a major difference, because we could have created barriers to protect these neighborhoods and we could have fought the spot fires that started there,” he continued.

Benjamini concluded by stressing that developing wildfire fighting capabilities is a work in progress that constantly needs to be improved based on experiences.

“But we have to do more research and study what happened, and then we will also publish main insights and conclusions that we can take to our solution to better design the product to be able to help with these types of wildfires.”

Israel, which has a warm and dry climate that is similar to southern California, is no stranger to wildfires. In Aug. 2021, Israeli firefighters struggled for several days to contain a massive forest wildfire in the Judean Hills close to Israel’s capital Jerusalem.

That Shellenberger interview is good. Thanks.

Here's more on Karen Bass:

Getting to know you: LA Mayor Karen Bass
By Mike McDaniel

Many Americans only heard of Karen Bass in connection with California’s recent and current wildfires. All they know is she’s the mayor of Los Angeles, so they assume she’s a leftist, likely a radical leftist. They have no idea.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

The winds are essentially over. The real fun starts on Sat and Sun when a small amount of rain will come. Not much but it's the start of the annual rain season that start in Feb.

For all the LA County officials talking about remediation, hazardous material and all that, when it really starts to rain, all the crap will wash down the hills of Palisades, down Sunset Blvd or down the hills, onto Pacific Coast Highway and into the ocean.

Altadena won't be much better but they aren't anywhere close to he ocean. All that crap will just run downhill and make a huge toxic mess.

Altadena is at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains/Angeles National Forest and much of the north/south streets run downhill towards Pasadena.

I’ve got some rodeo friends who now live in N California, but she was raised in Altadena. Just this past spring she and her sister visited their hometown and took some pictures. She said both her grade school and high school were burned to the ground. Then she showed pictures of the church she and Dwayne were married in there in Altadena—also destroyed.

Yet People voted for her.
I guess it’s what they want. Now they’re crying because they’re choking on it.

What’s that definition of “insanity”?
Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result?
It’s the same thing here in Chicago, in New York, Seattle, all over Oregon…
Some people just don’t learn.

I still believe not all these wack jobs are "voted" in. I think many are installed through the cheat. Everybody just assumes it's everyone else who votes these people in. Although I have not heard Trump talk about it recently we need to get as much of the cheat out of the vote as possible. Arrests and hard time for those who are found guilty of voter fraud needs to be instituted. There is nothing more important.

Did I not read the Kalifornia has 100% mail in voting? What could go wrong...

It would not surprise me if the state also allows mail in registration, no ID required, etc., anything to encourage massive fraud.

I can't speak for the state of affairs in California, but in Chicago, when only 35% voter turn-out- That's a problem.

I'm not a math wiz, but that would show me that 65% doesn't really care. Apathy.
