California’s largest public utility provider could face murder or manslaughter charges if it were found responsible for causing the state’s recent deadly wildfires, according to court documents filed by the state attorney general.

Pacific Gas & Electric Co., or PG&E, could potentially face a range of criminal offenses if any of the wildfires broke out as a result of the utility failing to properly operate and maintain power lines, per an amicus brief filed in US District Court Friday by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.   Continue reading “California’s largest utility provider could face murder charges for wildfires, AG says”

It seems uncanny that this young punk actually stood in front of the United States Congress, attacking America’s 2nd article rights, where hundreds of thousands of brave American soldiers died for the right to bear arms. Hogg earned this special occasion by supposedly pushing some overweight kid out of the way in the schools hallway, by supposed gunfire by a nutcase bent on killing as many students as possible. Because of this, Hogg was considered worthy enough to grant him this special session in front of Congress.   Continue reading “David Hogg A CNN Tool To Kill The Second Article – Now Embraced By Harvard”

“I’m in the Oval Office. Democrats, come back from vacation now and give us the votes necessary for Border Security, including the Wall,” Trump tweeted, adding “You voted yes in 2006 and 2013. One more yes, but with me in office, I’ll get it built, and Fast!”  Continue reading “Trump Taunts Hypocritical Democrats Over Border Security Flip-Flop”

Troy, OH — It is a sad fact that in many states — in the land of the free — police still use taxpayer resources to hunt down, kidnap, and even kill people for attempting to sell a plant to willing customers that has never killed anyone, ever. Illustrating the insanity of the drug war, cops in Troy, Ohio, who appear to be addicted to waging a war on this plant, recently spent taxpayer dollars to bust a man they thought was selling weed, but who actually sold them flowers because he knew the cop was undercover.   Continue reading “Man Owns Undercover Cop Trying to Bust Him for Weed, Sells Him Flowers Instead of Pot”

President Trump is “reconsidering” his strategy to pull US forces out of Syria following an “eye-opening trip to Iraq” the day after Christmas, Bloomberg reports.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) who sits on the Senate Armed Forces Committee – a harsh critic of Trump’s announced pullout, said earlier Sunday that he would try to change Trump’s mind during a private lunch since the Islamic state isn’t quite defeated in the region as the President had previously stated.   Continue reading ““The President Is Reconsidering”: Syria Pullout On Thin Ice After Lunch With Lindsey Graham”

In a video announcement and email to supporters sent Monday morning, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced that she was officially launching an exploratory committee to seek the 2020 Democratic nomination, making her the first candidate to officially announce in what’s expected to be a “long and crowded” primary, according to the New York Times.

In her video, Warren leaned on the anti-Wall Street themes that have become a hallmark of her political career since she was elected to the Senate in 2013 after defeating moderate Republican incumbent Scott Brown. Prior to that, she had been a bankruptcy law professor at Harvard.   Continue reading “Elizabeth Warren Announces Plans For Presidential Run”
