I was the first Governor to endorse Obama for President back in 2007. I was there when he announced in Springfield Illinois. I have known him since 1995. Do I think it likely he ordered a phony intelligence assessment in December of 2016 to destroy Trump & his new administration? ABSOLUTELY!

Further proof that the English Football pyramid is unmatched anywhere in the world. This was the 103rd minute of the 46th and final game of the season, to determine who would be automatically promoted from DIVISION 5!! Absolutely bonkers
This my mother Ok Cha. She just celebrated her birthday & I normally wouldn't post about that but I wanted to share how much she's inspired me over the last 2 years in particular.
I based a joke in my newest special Violent Moderate on an incident she shared with my family when by chance, I was going to see Oppenheimer. When I told her what film I was seeing, she told me she was there. In Hiroshima. When the atomic bomb dropped. She never mentioned it. She never wrote a book, made an appearance on The Today Show or used it for social gain or sympathy. She just never brought it up. This woman, as a baby, survived an atomic bomb blast in a cave with her family. Unreal. Since that conversation, I haven't stopped thinking about how different my life could've been or simply not even been at all.
In learning this, I became educated that Koreans were enslaved by the Japanese prior to World War II, thus my mother's family was in Japan. My grandfather's family was subject to forced labor or slavery. Again, my mother never brought it up for attention, social capital or sympathy.
This past year, she came within a hairs breath of losing her husband, my father. I spent 3 1/2 months living with her and driving her to the hospital every day so she could oversee his slow but eventual recovery. Never complained.
My point: she's never been a victim. As a direct victim of her family's forced labor, she's never brought up reparations. She never brought attention to herself so she could be given anything. She simply tackled the adversity of the day or moment and GOT THE F*** on with her life.
It's ironic of me to be posting this (drawing attention to someone who never asked for it) but my point is simple: I find her so inspiring and as much as she may profess how proud she may be of me, I'm so glad I've had this past year or so, to really learn more about my mother and how PROUD I am of her and that I'm her son.
Washington's CO2 tax was supposed to fund projects to reduce air pollution in overburdened communities. Instead, much of the money was wasted.
Millions went to groups like the Somali Independent Business Alliance for "community outreach" instead reducing pollution. 1/2 #waleg
🔥 One Of The Greatest, Most Brutally Honest Scenes In TV History.
In Landman, Billy Bob Thornton’s character Tommy Norris drops a masterclass monologue that completely obliterates the delusional “green energy” fantasy in under two minutes.
Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris is out in the Texas oil patch, looking at those massive 400-foot wind turbines supposedly “powering a clean future”… while they’re actually running remote oil wells because there’s no grid electricity out there.
She asks, “They use clean energy to power the oil wells?”
Tommy fires back: “They use alternative energy. There’s nothing clean about this.”
He breaks down the “clean” reality: These things sit on giant concrete foundations poured with diesel, made from steel cooked in fossil fuel furnaces, hauled and cranked up by fuel-guzzling trucks and cranes, then slathered in petroleum lubricants just to spin for their measly 20-year life.
Tommy doesn’t stop there. Fossil fuels aren’t some dirty secret, they’re the lifeblood of everything modern. The roads you drive, the tires on your EV, the plastic in your phone, your clothes, your fridge, your medicine, your makeup and lipstick… you name it.
Pretending we can wave a magic wand and “transition” away from oil overnight? That’s the real delusion sold by folks who’ve never gotten their hands dirty in the real world.
Taylor Sheridan and Billy Bob delivered one of the most honest, unapologetic scenes on TV in years. No preaching, just straight facts from the patch.
Watch the clip. None of this is “green” or “clean”. Not the turbines, not the transition, not the fantasy.
