You may ask yourself, well, how did I get here? Concerned AZ Army #veteran trying to make sense of it all. Likes #hiking, #mountainbiking, #backpacking, #packrafting, #canyoneering, and adventures in our #truckcamper.
A firefighter stands in front of towering flames as the Box Springs fire burns the forest near Prineville OR on July 21, 2026. Image taken by OR Dept of Forestry employee. Trump's gonna wanna tariff the hell out of those fires.
Baby fElon says he's gonna make his own version of The Odyssey for MAGA. Then Tom the Dancing Bug says "hold my beer!"
From today's Arizona Republic newspaper. Just a reminder that Trump refused to sign the "21st Century ROAD to Housing" bill that Congress passed this year because his need to destroy our elections is more important to him than affordability for the working class.
WTAF??? Trump intent on destroying all of America's greatest national treasures. What an absolute asshat.
Solar still the cheapest energy in the U.S. despite Trump's irrational attempts to kill it
Everyday Americans are picking up the bill while utility CEOs and their investors make record profits. Meanwhile there were over 13 million residential customer disconnections in 2024 due to unpaid bills. Keeping the lights on for everyday folks should take priority over profits and bonuses.
Drought in AZ has caused San Carlos Lake on the Gila River to dry up, with 100% fish kill. Downstream communities like Kearny are facing water shortages. A brutal reminder of how fragile our water situation is in the desert. Do we really need our precious water to be used for cooling data centers?
