There was a significant expansion of courtrooms and holding capacity. There is, or will be soon, far more than 15 people there.

I don't think that is something that can be dropped on the American people one day before inauguration.

What he didn't say directly is "we appreciate Trump's team for including us in the negotiations so that we can take a victory lap on his achievement."

You'll be outside for the entire day, so you'll need a few items.

Key is keeping feet, hands, and head warm.

  1. Insulated boots. Hiking type boots are comfortable for walking, but you will want insulated ones.

  2. insulated socks. Wool or silk. battery powered heated socks are worth considering. Bring extra batteries.

  3. Gloves - ski gloves are best for heat retention. Battery powered heated gloves are worthwhile considerations.

  4. Earmuffs/hat/balaclava/scarf - Earmuffs are a must. You'll want something on your head - beanies, trapper hat, what ever. You lose 50-60% of your body heat through your head, so keep it covered. A balaclava will keep your head/face/neck warm; for 32 degrees may be overkill. Finally, a scarf. I recommend a non-wool scarf - much less scratchy. Wrap around your neck and put the two ends under your coat. Will keep your neck and upper chest warm.

  5. Pants - at 32 degrees jeans are adequate. If you run cold, get either long johns (available in silk as well), or get ski pants, which will provide some insulation and an effective wind block.

  6. Upper body/Coat - I would recommend a base layer (wool, nylon, or silk) to provide wicking of any sweat. You don't want to sweat and get wet under your coat. Over that an insulating layer. I've used Oros sweatshirts, which have a layer of thin, extremely effective insulation. For 32 degrees, a base layer and an Oros insulated sweatshirt would be plenty Over that I would put a weather shell in case there is snow/rain.

80 percent saying the US does take Israel's interests into account is a bad thing? That is an 80 percent approval rating.

He owns Plumpjack Vineyards. I visited there years ago, before I knew he owned it. The wines were very good, but the guy running the tasting room was the most pompous a$$ I've encountered at any winery.

There is a 117-million-gallon reservoir on the top of the Pacific Palisades. It is empty - closed for "repairs" for the last 10 months.

Yeah....forest management. They don't do that in CA. "Let nature be nature" applies to forest undergrowth. Not their kids.
