PG&E power shut-offs are coming back.

Map Published in LA Times

SFGate–For the millions of Californians sticking close to home during the coronavirus pandemic, unwelcome news from PG&E has landed: The dreaded Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) may be coming back.

The beleaguered company claims that, unlike last year’s days-long shutoffs, this year any power outages due to dangerous wildfire conditions will be shorter and smaller.

“The cadence and frequency of notifications will depend on the forecasted gusty winds and dry conditions, combined with a heightened fire risk, and how quickly those threats change, among other factors,” says PG&E.

We Love Gavin Newsom’s L.A. Shit Hole

by

Or not.  We’re not even sure that Randy Newman still loves L.A.  Here’s what the Los Angeles Times reports, “Homeless camps’ feces and other filth lure rats to L.A. City Hall, report says“.  Whoopsie!  L.A. City Hall is a shit hole.

When faced with complaints earlier this year from city workers about rats infesting L.A. City Hall, most city officials said little about whether the problem was connected to several homeless camps right outside.

But a newly uncovered report from a pest control company hired by the city has raised fresh questions about whether officials wrongly downplayed that possibility during discussions at City Council meetings.

CatsUSA Pest Control, brought in to assess areas outside City Hall and nearby buildings, warned that homeless people create “harborage for rodents,” according to the report issued Dec. 28 and obtained last month through a public records request by a frequent critic of City Hall.

Sadiq Khan’s Londonistan – First World ‘Shithole’

by

You don’t necessarily have to be Haiti or Somalia to earn the title of a “Shithole country”.  If being able to protect one’s citizens from crime, or in the least, bringing the perpetrators to justice, are criteria of “Shitholery”, then England, and, most especially, Sadiq Khan’s Londonistan, are fast descending into the abyss of the shithole country.

The Daily Mail reports, “Fewer than one in 20 street robberies and burglaries are being solved by police…”

  • Four per cent of robberies and three per cent of burglaries solved in 2017.
  • Figures show Rushcliffe in Nottinghamshire has lowest rate of solved crime.
  • Meanwhile the most crimes, 26 per cent, were solved in Uttlesford in Essex.
  • Only nine per cent of suspects in all crimes are being caught and punished.

The figures also reveal that only nine per cent of suspects in all crimes are caught and punished – a reduction of more than 50 per cent in the past five years.The worrying statistics will add to concerns about the surge of violent crime in the UK, particularly in London.Scores of violent attacks and muggings have been reported in the capital, with many incidents involving mopeds and knives.

Professor: “San Francisco’s a Bigger ‘Shithole’ Than Kenya or India”

by

Give a Liberal a city and they turn it into a ‘Shithole’.

“The contamination is … much greater than communities in Brazil or Kenya or India,” said Dr. Lee Riley, a UC Berkeley professor, as reported by Breitbart.

One of the most expensive U.S. cities to live in is on track to become one of the dirtiest cities in the world, an investigation revealed.

Journalists with NBC Bay Area released a report which surveyed 153 blocks in downtown San Francisco and found some shocking results: more than 300 piles of feces and 100 drug needles lined the streets of downtown San Francisco, including in areas near upscale hotels and government buildings.

One infectious disease expert told NBC Bay Area that the streets of San Francisco are on par with or worse than those of developing countries.

Cory Booker – Demagogue and Opportunist

by

Cory’s been reading his own press reports, the one’s coming from his ‘closet headquarters’ for the 2020 Demagogic Presidential campaign. Right now, Mr. Senator, you are “all bald and no bite”, with dramaturgy befitting a Middle School play production.

 

 

Here Cory channels Shrek.

Uganda’s President Loves Trump

by

Uganda’s President Museveni says, “We Africans all know we live in a ‘shithole’, so it’s no big deal if Trump says it….” that’s a quote from the Michael Wolfe school of reporting.  Now here’s the story from the Washington Post, “Ugandan president says he loves Trump: ‘He talks to Africans frankly’.”

Ugandan president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni spoke out in defense of President Trump on Tuesday, telling lawmakers at the opening of the East African Legislative Assembly held in Kampala he loved the American leader as “he talks to Africans frankly.”

The comments came a little less than two weeks after Trump described African nations, along with Haiti and El Salvador, as “shithole countries”

 

Nicholas Cage – “I’ll Take Crappy Role, Just Pay Me”

by

Not that Nicholas Cage ever had much ‘artistic integrity’ to begin with, but did you ever wonder why he’s showing up in every ‘piece of shit’ role in every ‘shithole’ straight to DVD movie imaginable?  You know what I mean.  Those movies that you’re tempted to let your dog dump on before you return them to Redbox?  The answer is simple.  Nick Cage has a spending problem every bit as bad a Johnny Depp’s, but not quite the “Star Powered” salary.

So Nick has to take the McDonald’s approach (although McDonald’s does at least pay lip service to QUALITY), “Make a little bit of profit on a whole lot of burgers” – or movies, in Nick’s case.  Here’s what CNBC reports.

But Cage didn’t hold on to his fortune for long. He squandered it away on a string of expensive and often eccentric purchases, eventually facing foreclosure on several properties and owing the IRS $6.3 million in property taxes.

Now worth around $25 million, Cage is taking roles left and right to help pay off his debts.

You can check the foolishness in full by following the link to CNBC, or you can just say “enough” to the ubiquitous Mr. Cage. Hold on! Isn’t “The Ubiquitous Mr. Cage” the working title for Nick’s next movie? Prolly….
