Which fellow citizens are you talking about? The ones that mocked me for not getting jabbed and tried to coerce me by threatening to terminate me from a job I'd held for over thirty years? Or the fellow citizens on the news who stated that the unvaccinated should be denied treatment at hospitals and have their kids taken away from them? The ones that told me I'm stupid for not trusting "science"? Which ones?
Grok says otherwise.
The statement is incorrect because it misrepresents several key facts and conflates unrelated events to create a misleading narrative. First, there was no "World Court" (International Court of Justice, ICJ) decision in December 2023 that "gave water above land shelves to those countries and ruled they were not international water." The ICJ’s July 2023 ruling in Nicaragua v. Colombia addressed continental shelf delimitation, affirming that exclusive economic zones (EEZs) within 200 nautical miles take precedence over overlapping extended continental shelf (ECS) claims, but it did not assign the water column above the shelf to coastal states. The water above the continental shelf beyond the EEZ remains international waters under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Additionally, the U.S. announcement in December 2023 about its ECS boundaries claimed seabed rights, not the water above, and was a unilateral declaration, not a court ruling. The renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America" via Executive Order 14172 (January 2025) was symbolic, affecting only U.S. documentation, and did not legally alter maritime boundaries or establish new borders in the Gulf. The claim that this renaming clarifies new borders for maritime traffic is baseless, as maritime boundaries are defined by coordinates under international law, not names, and no new territorial waters were established.
Except for renouncing US citizenship it sounds like the definition for an anchor baby.
California only posts state and federal tax on the pumps so most residents don't really know how much tax they pay per gallon.
STATE EXCISE TAX: 59.6 cents
CAP AND TRADE TAX: 28 cents
SALES TAX: 12 cents
CARB REGULATION COSTS: 23 cents
UNDERGROUND STORAGE REGULATION COSTS: 2 cents
FEDERAL EXCISE COSTS: 18.4 cents
TOTAL PER GALLON CA GAS TAX: $1.43
I voted 50 times because that's how that's how it's done in California!
Wait.....wasn't she the villain in the movie Goonies?
This tweet was originally posted almost 2 months ago and local law enforcement raised such a stink about this issue statewide that the author, Assemblymember Rick Zbur, decided to withdraw AB 1333 at the end of March.
In the 90's we forced power companies to spend millions installing scrubbers in their smoke stacks to remove sulphur dioxide due to "acid rain". Geez, make up your minds.
Nothing will change here until the until they root out the corruption from the election process. They don't count votes here, they manufacture them and that's why it takes 6 weeks to get election results and the outcome is always the same.
This tweet is a month old and local law enforcement created such a stink about this issue statewide that the author, Assemblymember Rick Zbur, decided to withdraw AB 1333 at the end of last month.
Standard operating procedure for the state legislature is to reintroduce a similar bill 2-3 years down the road. They're a bunch of low-life scumbags and they are persistent.
Ah crap, now I'll have to drive past 2 Home Depots just to spend my dollars at the nearest Lowe's from now on.
DOJ Launches Investigation Into California's 2nd Amendment Infringements
Is this a parody website? It sound a little too bizarre for even a democrat to do this.
Doing the jobs Americans won't do.
They're going to don their pussy hats, take to the streets and fight back! Probably go to a parking lot and scratch up some cars, have a good cry in a safe space and go home feeling really proud of themselves. Pathetic losers.
Another drawback is the taste. I had to use the paste back in Jan 2021 and quickly found out it was apple scented and not apple flavored.
California's $20-an-hour minimum wage applies only to fast-food restaurants with 60 or more locations nationwide. However, the statewide minimum wage was also raised to $16.50, which isn’t helping this restaurant either.
The owner has likely increased menu prices by over 50% in the past two years to offset rising costs for food, rent, insurance, and energy—just like every other restaurant in the area. The result? Empty tables. This is guy is going to have a lot of company soon because California is busy decimating small retail businesses too.
Free country? You get what you pay for.
That website you posted shows the oxygen to nitrogen ratio changing by about 20 millionths of a percent per year. As my former employer would say, "you're picking the fly shit out of the pepper." 600m years ago oxygen was at 4% of the atmosphere, 250m years ago it was 35%, and now it's 21%. It changes, very slowly. The earth will be orbiting inside the sun in 6 billion years from now. Are you worried about that too?
From the same place it's been coming from for the last 3.5 billion years, photosynthesis in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. The most abundant element in Earth's crust by weight is oxygen, making up approximately 46.6%. Oxygen is not as scarce as you think.
Burning anything consumes oxygen. Substitute burning hydrogen instead of hydrocarbons (gasoline). Hydrogen does require a significant amount of oxygen to burn, but when comparing per unit of energy released, gasoline and hydrogen are roughly similar in oxygen demand. However, hydrogen's advantage comes from being cleaner, as it only produces water as a byproduct.
Under Narrative #2:
"2. As an advisory body DOGE’s power is limited, and judicial oversight ensures accountability."
DOGE searches out fraud and waste and reports on it's findings. POTUS or a cabinet member with the proper authority has to be the one to act on it. As long as they're cutting waste, I couldn't give a flying #~*$ if it's an unelected billionaire or the guy driving the trash truck in my neighborhood who's the head of it.
"Obama’s DOGE aimed to hunt down misspent tax dollars"
The only thing Biden hunted down was children to sniff.
Correct. I used to work with a guy who entered the US illegally and lived here for over 20 years. At one time he hired an immigration attorney and tried to get legal, but failed due to the fact that he had 3 misdemeanors on his record, 2 DUI's and an assault charge. He was ordered by a judge to leave the country.
So what did he do? He went out and bought a house here in southern California and lived here another 5 years, because immigration laws aren't enforced in California.
And he still served as president for another 15 months after this interview. Wow!
