even more of a reason for people to save their online stuff.

A majority of likely American voters believe that Donald Trump launched the war on Iran at least in part to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal that had engulfed his presidency, according to a new survey.

Over 6 million Californians voted for Trump in 2024; or in other words, they voted for ≥$100/barrel.

El Niño, he like's Trump's America, and I.C.E. will not deport him.

Whisky Pete is no match for El Niño.

El Niño mocks Trump and his supporters.

He says, "Hi America! I like it here and you can't make me leave."

(my bold)

.19 [538] Honour thy father and thy mother: and, [539] Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

.20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

.21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, [540] go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

.22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

.23 ¶ Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That [541] a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

.24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

You raise a good point, though.

They point to a blend of public, private, social, and political patterns of corruption in the California solar energy market.

1. Clientelism and favoritism: Hiring friends or family over others for solar projects and unfairly allocating government contracts or permits to project developers, which in one instance led to an investigative report questioning the influence of a sexual relationship.

2. Rent-seeking and land grabbing: Redirecting public funds or lands to benefit private developers and taking communal or public land from Indigenous peoples or other groups for energy infrastructure siting.

3. Service diversion: Withholding local benefits, such as lower electricity bills, or distributing locally generated power only to higher-paying parts of the state.

4. Theft: Forceful removal of flora or cultural artifacts, or disturbing animal habitat, to build solar project sites.

5. Greenwashing: Misleading the public about a solar project's environmental benefits; using flawed environmental or cultural impact assessments to evaluate project impacts, such as pollution of nearby waterways; and overriding environmental protections to fast-track solar infrastructure expansion.

6. Tax evasion and avoidance: Not paying or underpaying taxes, or governmental authorities strategically failing to adequately allocate project funds to communities impacted by solar project development.

7. Non-transparency: Hiding, manipulating, or failing to disclose relevant or important information surrounding solar projects, such as the local economic benefits and environmental impacts.

Meanwhile (as it's 02:44 UTC, 12 June 2025) Australia is probably getting over 100 trillion watts of sunlight.
