We killed an  Al-Qaeda guy.  Huzzah for us, I suppose.  The Jan 6. rioter who carried gun to US Capitol got sentenced to 7 years in prison.  Didn't Trump say he was running on a platform of pardoning all of these guys? (checks notes) Why, yes.  He did say that. Two people were found dead in charred car within California wildfire zone.  Sad but I wonder if they "believed" in climate change?  I wonder if the 200 missing and dead people in the Kentucky floods believed in climate change?   This line of thought is verging on very horrible victim blaming on my part, but someone needs to be blamed at some point and we can't blame corporations, as that would be like blaming the scorpion for stinging, or the baby chicks for chirping. Pelosi expected to visit Taiwan, Taiwanese and US officials say.
