I've been monitoring the USGS/CalTech "Recent Earthquakes in California + Nevada" site - scedc.caltech.edu/recent/Maps/...

Haven't felt any of the 3s or recent 4.2

Take care!

He's on the road to nowhere.

Taking us down.

Who's operating The SCIF ?

Dominion should sue their ass

What is reality?

My gawd - and look at who he's put attending his meeting.

Who made this artwork for him?

jeezus

Trump is gonna spill to anyone who pays their dues regardless of that country's traditional relationship to the US.

I wanna know who came up with this cunning plan. ?

He's a superstar and we love him!
January 20, 2026 at 5:49 AM
Yes! There's always tomorrow.

PS - I'm a fan ever since seeing you and your little boy on tv during 199 Northridge Quake! (I moved LA to JT in '97)

Well, we certainly felt this little event tonight here in Joshua Tree.

Damn - somehow not find this post reassuring!
January 20, 2026 at 3:34 AM
It's rushed out in a great money grab.

Aye Aye, Cap'n!

He steered + directed a very sweet film - Ladies in Lavender. Judi Dench + Maggie Smith are a little too old for the parts, but it works very well. Beautiful Cornwall.

( His mother was a maid in a Great House. That must be where Charles picked up ability to play hyper-competent, arrogant pricks! )

Trump would have to approve it since FEMA falls under the Executive Branch.
January 19, 2026 at 8:41 AM
OK - This Jan 15 story in the Guardian explains a lot.

Trump's friend, Ronald Lauder (Este Lauder heir), has interests in Greenland and first gave Trump the idea in 2018.

(Lauder also has interests in Ukraine)

How a billionaire with interests in Greenland encouraged Trump to acquire the territory
US president’s friend Ronald Lauder – who first proposed Arctic expansion – is now making deals in the island

I think you're right, but this interest in Greenland isn't new.

The aggressive mad fixation-level is new, but he brought up the notion of US owning Greenland several times during his first term.

- I do wonder who/what/why first put the thought in his head.
January 19, 2026 at 7:19 AM
Yes - He is a complete + total lunatic,

but who is egging him on?

Who benefits?

"... Complete and total Control" makes me think of the resources in Greenland. Who would get the deal? Etc etc.

... Russia (and China), too, of course.

Bonus destruction of NATO.
January 19, 2026 at 6:41 AM
That is a large part of this, isn't it?

Sadistic misogynous racism is just a bonus for them.

People are making money.

We need a full + detailed accounting of just how DHS is spending. I wonder if we'll ever get it.
January 19, 2026 at 6:35 AM
Didn't see DHS - I'm way overdue to get reading glasses!

PS - Love you + Wonkette fighting the good fight all these years.
January 19, 2026 at 6:24 AM
It's time for a true patriot to leak Trump's medical records.
January 19, 2026 at 6:21 AM
- ... complete and total control -

It's all for the rare minerals, isn't it?

What financial stake(s) does Trump now have in mining concerns? Bribes from corporations that use those minerals?

Etc.

Raging at Nobel/Norway + ultimately destroying NATO is just icing on his cake.

The Pines in Palmdale, CA. One-room cabin breakfast+lunch. Graffitied toilet out back. "Don't forget to wear your wrapper when you're fishing for red snapper" +

Potty-mouth father + daughter serving it up!

Development clutter came in so they moved to Idaho mid-90s. (we avoided politics)

WTF is going on with the Dept of Labor? They've been churning out these Nazi poster-style graphics. That 2-story long Trump banner hanging off their building! Etc.

WTF ?
