    1. What could possibly go wrong?

      Allow me a bear story … some years ago, I was really excited to make my first visit to Hetch Hetchy. You have to cross the dam and walk thru a little tunnel. We were headed for a campground inland, above the reservoir. While we were still hiking alongside the reservoir trail … a couple passed us … almost running … saying they were fleeing a rogue bear that had terrorized them all night. We kinda of shrugged and kept hiking assuming these were just city slickers who were afraid of the wildlife, and didn’t know how to tie their food high in the trees.

      Then, a group of 4 hikers were actually running past us screaming about a bear running amok. Then another group, and another. I’ve never experienced anything quite like this in all my years of hiking the Sierra. Campers actually running … although they were already a mile from where they encountered the fearless, rogue bear. They said the bear was actually chasing them … far down the trail. Yes, then we turned around and got to experience very little of Hetch Hetchy.

      We knew (back then) that the Park Rangers relocated troublesome bears in the Yosemite valley into the Hetch Hetchy reservoir area … but until you have an up close and personal encounter … those are all just stories. Well … we learned all we needed to know about troublesome bears in Hetch Hetchy. Yeah … good luck with introducing Grizzly’s … although it WOULD help reducing the number of tourists overcrowding Yosemite.

    1. l was married to a chirese for 27.
      got right into the heart and soul and mind of that culture. Xi is DELUSIONAL to claim Trump ‘lost’ anything in the middle east, but it is in keeping with their style publicity. lm still not sure if it is so ingrained they actually believe their own lies, if it is a ‘nudge nudge wink wink’ where everybody in chirer KNOWS its a facade, or something else.

    1. Health bureaucrats need to stay employed, your fear is their work

      Indeed. As they say … “When you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail”. We’re all being hammered by the public health bureaucracy.

  5. Ballot initiatives mean nothing in Colorado.
    Yes, Coloradans actually passed a ballot initiative that dictated that transportation funds must be spent on roads and transportation, and the Democrats ignored it.
    Democrat legislators look citizens straight in the eye when they tell them to get fkkkd.

    1. You forgot the best part, the Politburo’s efforts to neuter TABOR (taxpayer bill of rights) which is in the damn state constitution. We are quickly approaching California levels of retardation here in Colorado. WTF?

      1. Detroit on the Platte.
        Exactly right, that is the supreme outrage. Outmigration from the Front Range has to be on the horizon, which is one way to address the “housing shortage”.

    1. Yet another ‘conspiracy theory’ proven true.
      Remigration is our primary weapon, and no one except Trump is even trying.

  12. The government describes this as organizing information “like a filing cabinet, where certain types of information would be available with legal authorization.”

    That filing cabinet contains a year’s worth of data showing where every Canadian goes, when they go there, and who they communicate with. On a mobile network, that metadata includes which cell towers each phone connects to and when. Retained at scale, it amounts to a comprehensive surveillance map of the population.

  13. Thank you Robert, yes … I DO tend to wax nostalgic for CA of the past. When the streets were clean and only the hippies were dirty (err, natural). I was 7yo for most of 1963 … and still living with my single (newly divorced) mother in a shithole neighborhood of West Sacramento. But I do recall taking a trip to SF when my parents were meeting with their SF-based Divorce attorneys (long explanation for that). I distinctly remember taking a ferry across the Carquinez strait … and then taking the ferry across the SF Bay.

    But … sadly that video is far TOO AI … and not enough Newsreel. Seeing the Bay Bridge with cars driving on the outside of the lower deck! On a cantilevered roadway! was hilarious. I think AI misunderstood what “the cantilever” section of the Bay Bridge meant. And yes … it wasn’t many years before 1963 that there were NO CARS on the lower deck of the Bay Bridge, but there was only a commuter train (the Key system) and trucks. And the AI image of a “cable car” running up a street with a view to the golden gate … where no such tracks ever existed … was humorous. But even more humorous was the squashed proportion of their AI cable car. Hilarious.

    And sadly … not all the women were HOT, wearing high waisted 1950’s fashion pants in 1963. And Puhleeze … there were never huge outdoor gatherings of well dressed white people all happy and smiling … dancing with their arms in the air. No … that came later … and the crowd was jussssst a little more eclectic … and well … dirty (see above). But the overall message and concept was accurate … SF used to be a beautiful city … before it became a deep blue political cesspool.

    1. I suspect the Trump DOJ is closing in on documenting the vote fraud of 2020. This feels like Democrat butt cover.
