California’s Ongoing Psychosis

Insurers’ Rule Change Puts (All) California Homeowners on the Hook for L.A. Fire
The spiraling cost to rebuild could overwhelm the California Fair Plan, the decades-old, government-created insurance safety net
Insurers’ Rule Change Puts California Homeowners on the Hook for L.A. Fire - WSJ
A little-noticed rule change last year by California’s insurance regulator will likely shift a large chunk of the cost of the Los Angeles wildfires to homeowners across the state.
Pushed by insurers, the change puts California homeowners on the hook to pay directly toward the cost of rebuilding from very large disasters through even fatter insurance bills—whether they were exposed to the L.A. fire or not.

Newsom Has a Permitting Epiphany
The Governor waives environmental rules to assist rebuilding from the wildfires. Why not for everyone?
Newsom Has a Permitting Epiphany - WSJ
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday waived the state’s environmental laws in areas affected by the fires to expedite rebuilding. Wonderful, but that raises a question: Why not ease regulations for all projects if the rules are such a barrier to development?

California Inferno Was ‘Preventable.’ Blame Malfeasance of Newsom, Bass for Catastrophe.
Blame for Catastrophic Calif. Wildfires Lies With Newsom, Bass
And so put it all together, whether it’s a deliberate policy to not store water, not preserve water. Last year was one of the wettest years that we’ve had. We’ve had three out of the last four years have been very wet. We had a huge snowpack. We had rivers that were running in 19th-century fashion, but out to the sea to save the delta smelt.
So, it was a total systems collapse from the idea of not spending money on irrigation, storage, water, fire prevention, force management, a viable insurance industry, a DEI hierarchy. You put it all together and it’s something like a DEI-Green New Deal hydrogen bomb.

Virginia Democrats Enable Trans-Women/Men

-
Why do Democrats vote to: enable girls to be legally hurt by boys, diminish girl’s sports, and expose girls to males in their locker rooms and showers? Why indeed?
Do these Democrats not have daughters and granddaughters?
Where is Gloria Steinem and her friends?
And why does the left-wing liberal-media cheer them on?
Is the end-game a UniSex society?
Apparently Therapy is available to achieve that goal:
“Prioritize your mental health. Get convenient and affordable therapy with BetterHelp. NSLS Members: get 50% off your first month of therapy.”

California's Shock & Awe Reality

-
California’s massive and devastating wild-fires of Jan 2025 is reflective of the 3rd Reich’s Blitzkrieg of Poland in 1939; a rolling total devastation without mercy or reprieve.
The moderating news is the limited number of casualties compared to prior fires.

WSJ: How the Left Turned California Into a Paradise Lost
Gavin Newsom promised to ‘Trump-proof’ the Golden State. If only he’d fireproofed it instead.
How the Left Turned California Into a Paradise Lost - WSJ
After the November election, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced his plans to “Trump-proof” the Golden State. How about fire-proofing? Los Angeles’s horrific fires are exposing the costs of its progressive follies, which even wealthy liberals in their Palisades palaces can’t escape.
-
Start with its environmental obsessions. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power in 2019 sought to widen a fire-access road and replace old wooden utility poles in the Topanga Canyon abutting the Palisades with steel ones to make power lines fire- and wind-resistant. In the process, crews removed an estimated 182 Braunton’s milkvetch plants, an endangered species.
-
The utility halted the project as state officials investigated the plant destruction. More than a year later, the California Coastal Commission issued a cease-and-desist order, fined the utility $2 million, and required “mitigation” for the project’s impact on the species. This involved replacing “nonnative” vegetation with plants native to the state. You have to chuckle at the contradiction: California’s progressives want to expel foreign flora and fauna but provide a sanctuary for illegal immigrants.
-
-
WSJ: California’s Wildfire Climate Excuse
Gov. Newsom tilts at carbon emissions, not fire mitigation.

California’s Wildfire Climate Excuse - WSJ
This ignores that California’s climate has long been variable with dry years following wet ones. The nearby chart from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment shows precipitation in the state going back 130 or so years. There are wet and dry spells. The last couple of decades have had more dry years, but then so did the 1910s and 1920s when carbon emissions were far less than they are today.
-
-
WSJ: End of a Climate Delusion
Amid California’s fires, voters wake up from the dream that green pork is a solution.

End of a Climate Delusion - WSJ
Here’s another concept: Climate change can exist and yet be an insignificant variable. In Southern California’s Mediterranean climate, anytime 100-mile-an-hour winds start blowing embers toward densely packed housing developments, a conflagration is certain. The only answer then is to have the manpower and resources ready to put fires out as quickly as they start.

Back to the future:
As fires become more frequent and expensive, some insurers pay for private firefighting crews
Wealthy Homeowners and Their Insurers Turn to Hired Help to Fight L.A. Wildfires - WSJ
-
When former Olympic gold-medal sprinter Michael Johnson heard the Palisades fire was heading his way, he knew his multimillion-dollar hillside home in Malibu, Calif., was in danger.
Johnson didn’t simply dial 911 as others in the wildfire’s path did: He turned to his private firefighting system for protection.
Johnson pays about $5,000 a year to lease the system, a pump-and-hose apparatus that can draw large amounts of water from his swimming pool to help fight the progress of wildfires and backstop the city’s municipal firefighters and hydrants.
-
Just as Johnson and his wife started hosing down their property in hopes of preventing any embers from igniting, a man sent by the system’s supplier, Fire Defense Service, showed up to help them. The Johnsons soon evacuated, believing they would never see their house again. But the man from Fire Defense stayed behind to help protect their house and a neighbor’s who was also a client.
-
-
Back to the future:
When the "Great Fire of London" occurred, which devastated much of the city and led to the establishment of the first fire insurance companies, who then funded their own fire brigades to protect the properties they insured from future fires; essentially creating the link between insurance companies and dedicated firefighting teams.
-
In US in 1800’s ‘fire marks’, were metal plates attached to buildings to indicate that they were insured and protected by the indicated 'privately paid' fire brigade.

It Keeps Getting Worse: L.A. Water 'CEO' Makes Unbelievable Salary and Claimed 'Equity' Was Top Priority – RedState
For starters, Quiñones is being paid $750,000 a year plus a housing allowance to operate as the "CEO" of LADWP.
She “has the skill set and leadership experience to advance the department into 100% clean energy by 2035,” the mayor said at the time.
-
-
One of the primary drivers of the devastation has been a lack of water due to unfilled reservoirs in Los Angeles County and unmaintained, failing infrastructure that caused fire hydrants to run dry. As RedState reported, the Santa Ynez Reservoir was taken offline for maintenance during wildfire season, a decision that has turned out to be catastrophic.

Censors Lose Again: Mann Ordered To Pay National Review Over $500K
It was a bad week for those on the left who try to censor their opponents. First, Meta announced it would ditch the fact-checkers who think they are entitled to be the final arbiters of truth and censor anyone who dissents. Now, the media’s favorite professor of climate alarmism, Michael Mann, has been forced to pay nearly $600,000 in legal fees to National Review after a frivolous lawsuit that alleged they defamed him.
-
National Review’s editors wrote on Friday, “For more than eight years, the climate scientist Michael Mann harassed National Review through litigation over a blog post — until, eventually, the First Amendment brought an end to his attack. This week, a court in our nation’s capital ordered Mann to pay us $530,820.21 worth of attorney’s fees and costs, and to do so within 30 days. It is time for him to get out his checkbook, and sign on the dotted line.”

LA Fires & Roanoke Floods: Fish Won! People Lost Big!

-
The horrendous Jan 2025 California fires and Roanoke’s ongoing floods intersect via the endangered species act and the refusal of government leaders to take required actions to safeguard persons and property in preference to 4-inch long minnows.
In Roanoke Va. the snail darters prevented a Roanoke River renovation from solving a major ongoing flooding problem resulting in a 73-million dollar Roaoke River Bank Beatification instead of flood control.
In California the little Delta-Smelt fish resulted in major river waters being sent out to the Pacific instead of being impounded and used for green-irrigation and fire suppression along with failure to remove dead and down vegetation with controlled burns.
The so-called-environmentalist won; sanity and responsibility and people lost big in ongoing wild-fire events.

In a tweet sent Monday, President Trump said water that can be used for fires in California is “foolishly” being diverted into the Pacific Ocean.” 2018
The directive asks the federal agency to “make clear” that water can be used as necessary to fight the fires, even if they impact endangered species.

Go Nuclear Young Man – Go Nuclear

Reflections: Go West Young Man – Go West -- Horace Greeley,
-
-
The current conversion of our electrical grid system from a highly reliable central mix of sources to an intermittent supply of dispersed solar&wind is causing large electric users to seek independent modular nuclear generators dedicated to their own needs and demands.
-
Some may compare this to the ships and submarines in use since the Nautilus, however, it’s not clear how dispersed private industry systems will compare to the US Navy stewardship of this technology.
-
Clearly the debacle and gross malfeasance of three-mile-island and the Chernobyl disasters are a stark reminder of how unforgiving and far reaching nuclear mistakes can become.

Why Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Meta are betting on nuclear power

Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta are among the most recognizable names exploring or investing in nuclear power projects. Driven by the energy demands of their data centers and AI models, their announcements mark the beginning of an industrywide trend.
-
“What we’re seeing is nuclear power has a lot of benefits,” said Michael Terrell, senior director of energy and climate at Google. “It’s a carbon-free source of electricity. It’s a source of electricity that can be always on and run all the time. And it provides tremendous economic impact.”

WSLS10at5 Features Pubic Shaving Video For Family Dinner

-
The WSLS10at5 Roanoke News included, for family viewing at 5-PM, 12-12-24, an ad for pubic-area shaving that was far more graphic and totally inappropriate for any family viewing, no less at dinner time and, no less for children or ladies.
I would proffer that it also isn’t appropriate for many of the WSLS10 staff and comes very close to workplace inappropriate material.

HealthCare Blood Lust

-
The cold-blooded killing of a health-care executive, by a filthy-rich, smart, empowered young male, on the streets of NY, shot in the back and then executed on the ground, should be an outrage to not only NYers and American’s but to all decent people everywhere.

-
The killer’s animalistic hunting and stalking and travel and living conditions and his animalistic execution of a healthcare executive, husband, father and human-being and the killer’s violent reaction to being taken into custody all belie any sympathy that might have been granted even to a ‘sad medical case IF there is such a thing’ in this case.

US Hurricane Reality Dec 2024

-
The US Hurricane 2024 Season has “officially” ended.
For those impacted by hurricanes, your lives have been changed, never to be fully restored. Hopefully friends, neighbors, relatives and the-government have lessened your burdens.
-
Although hurricanes have swept across the US for thousands of years, each season we now are instructed that all negative events are man-made and therefore by implication we deserve what we get.
-
The reality is that we are in another interglacial period and changes in weather and climate will continue as they have multiple times before.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2024/04/earth-day-4222024.html
-
Contrary to the Global Warming narrative the reality is that the hurricane and CO2 data for the past 200-years does NOT support the Gore, Kerry, Greta story-line that man-kind is causing evermore destructful hurricanes.
In fact, the data indicates that destructful hurricanes of all categories have decreased over the past 200-years.
-
Unfortunately businesses and citizens have chosen to build in high-risk areas where people and structures are at significant risk.
Something akin to building in a known flood-zone.

Historical Reality: Great Atlantic Hurricane of 1780 --
(one hundred years before any significant man-made CO2):
A massive hurricane tears through the Lesser Antilles, creating a swath of destruction from the Grenadines to Bermuda that leaves 23,200 souls dead and no fewer than 65 naval vessels from France, the Netherlands and Great Britain lost at sea or smashed to splinters on a lee shore, to say nothing of the devastation ashore, where thousands of homes and business were swept away by the storm's surge. The Great Hurricane of 1780 remains the single most destructive weather event in the history of the Atlantic Ocean.
(100 years before any significant man-made CO2)

Today’s Australia A Different Penal Colony

-
Australia has a strange perspective of youth online socializing and sexuality.
Parents can have sex change surgery on their children of any age.
However, the state is now restricting what youths under 16 can view on the internet, including ‘social-sites’ with draconian penalties for companies that ‘allow’ wayward youths to see ‘restricted content’.
Apparently parents have no responsibility or accountability – Really!

Australia Passes Landmark Social-Media Ban for Under-16s
Platforms ‘including’ Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat could face fines for allowing underage children access

Australia Passes Landmark Social-Media Ban for Under-16s - WSJ
Australia is set to become the first country to ban social-media use by under-16s after the country’s Senate overwhelmingly voted in favor of strict new legislation.
-
The ban, which will take at least 12 months to come into effect, could see technology companies fined up to 50 million Australian dollars, roughly $32.5 million, if they fail to bring in steps to prevent children from holding accounts. Parents and teenagers won’t be fined.
-
Advocates of the legislation—which is considered among the strictest in the world—hope it will make it easier for parents to keep their children off the platforms until they are more mature.
“Social media is doing harm to our children, and I’m calling time on it,” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said when the bill was introduced to Parliament earlier this month. “I’ve spoken to thousands of parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles. They, like me, are worried sick about the safety of our children online.”
The country’s Senate passed the bill 34 votes to 19 Thursday. The House of Representatives Wednesday approved the legislation 102 votes to 13.

Kamala Harris Drinks Drunkenly from the Dregs of Despair | National Review

Okay, yes — Kamala Harris was totally bombed (on something, whether it be drink or pills) when she delivered her Thanksgiving valediction yesterday, right? We can all admit that? You “have the same power [intoxicated pause] that you did before November 5” to recognize that, right? Yes, it’s embarrassing — the only thing harder to conceive of from a professional messaging operation than the video is the DNC staffer who said, “That’s gold, let’s roll with it.” (Imagine the outtakes.) But the hour before vacation is late, and I prefer mercy.

Manchin: Biden’s 17 Nobel Laureate Idiots

"I warned of that, and I got criticized, as you recall, they told me they had 17 Nobel laureates," Manchin said, later arguing that they were "17 educated idiots" that were telling Biden "what you want to hear because you paid them."

"You’ve got inflation coming at you hard when you do this, and now you’re still keeping people out of the workforce because you’re going to give them an extension clear up until October 2021 of unemployment benefits, and they can’t go back and can’t be threatened to lose their unemployment benefits," Manchin said. "You’ve got a perfect storm hitting you."

Greenland Base Defies AGW

A military base built in Greenland in 1959 is now under 100-feet of ice and snow.

Gore, Kerry, Greta, NASA and PravdaMedia are all now busy coming up with a ‘story’ explaining why Global Warming has generated 100-feet of additional snow and ice cover in past 57-years.

Russia’s Sputnik And Now Oreshnik

Russia launched Sputnik-1 October 4, 1957 shocking the world with the realization that Russia could soon strike with a nuclear bomb anywhere in the world with no apparent defense available.

Now:
This week, Russia launched Oreshnik onto Ukraine, a hypersonic Mock-9 missile, with deployable multiple war-heads that could be conventional or nuclear, with no apparent defense available.
