🧵 The climate change hysteria fad has come and gone. However, the 1000-year-old, Jeffrey Pine tree stumps remain in the West Walker River in Mono County, in eastern California. These stumps are direct evidence of severe, natural climate change that produced 100-year “mega
Scott Adams explores possible reasons why the climate change hysteria has suddenly vanished. • It was funded by billionaires for profit, but funding dried up • AI industry's energy needs overshadow climate concerns • Greta Thunberg's shift to other causes undermines her

With California facing a $18,000,000,000 deficit and a 16% @CHP_HQ officer vacancy rate, @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom is prioritizing @KamalaHarris international book tour over the safety of our highways. Our officers belong in California - keeping us safe - not acting as a private
"It's a lot, a significant amount of money." California taxpayers are footing the bill for Kamala Harris' book tour security. "Where the slippery slope starts to show up is the personal gain aspect, should it be provided at the taxpayer's expense?" https://t.co/SRmitKj2mt

Again… This governor was a few swing states away from being a heartbeat away from the presidency…
Tim Walz can’t, or won’t, answer simple questions about the absolutely massive increase in Autism program spending in his state. These numbers have been circulating publicly for some time. This is just insane. What a fraud.

California taxpayers have been paying for former Vice President Kamala Harris’ security detail as she travels out of state and, in some cases, out of the country to promote her book.

Oh Joe, make sure mommy warms up your hot pockets tonight. @grok’s response: Given CA's refinery trend—Phillips 66 LA closed Dec 2025, Valero Benicia idling April 2026, now ~8 left—plus Chevron's $1.8B upstream write-down, HQ exit to TX, and yesterday's industry letter to

Notice how the anti-ICE protests stopped and the Iran protests started? It’s because these are not grassroots protests, they are coordinated operations being financed with foreign cash. @NateFriedman97 is exposing it all.
The Iran protests in New York City are bought and paid for, here it all is with proof. Watch how they load the signs into the car and at 3:10 the leader confronts me and I expose her salary. She celebrated october 7th, and got paid to do it. Best of luck @LaynaLazar.

Why on earth should taxpayers fund the campaign security costs for political candidates? Her donors should pay for this! As @jeffreisig points out, this is on its face illegal. We are sick of this corrupt crap from the political insiders in California.
NEW: California taxpayers are paying for Kamala Harris' security detail for her international book tour. Dozens of CHP officers are assigned to it, sources tell me. State officials aren't saying much, her campaign isn't answering questions. Don't taxpayers deserve to know?

Chevron already wrote down $1.8 billion, primarily in California upstream assets. Richmond and El Segundo are on the chopping block. Last Chance for the Governor to try to save 32% of California's remaining refinery capacity. This is bananas! Energy suicide...
NEW: Chevron sent a letter to Gov. @GavinNewsom @CAgovernor and leaders of the legislature, CA Air Resources Board, and CA Energy Commission, expressing concerns over CA @AirResources Board’s proposed Cap-and-Invest regulation, arguing it could significantly increase costs on

@OrbBrilliance Exactly! Lowe’s and Home Depot loaded to the rafters with electric lawn mowers. Not a Briggs and Stratton in sight as endless lines of oil and gasoline tankers chug along into California ports. The virtue signaling based on climate ideology and dogma makes no sense.
