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 ound 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.

The flag of the Republic of China consists of a red field with a blue canton bearing a white disk surrounded by twelve triangles; said symbols symbolize the sun and rays of light emanating from it, respectively.

The flag was originally designed by the anti-Qing group, Revive China Society in 1895 with the addition of the red field component in 1906 by Sun Yat-sen in his speech. and was made the official national flag of the Republic of China (ROC) in 1928 by the Kuomintang (KMT).

By 1949, the KMT was decisively defeated by the Chinese Communist Party (CPC) in the Chinese Civil War and withdrew the ROC government to Taiwan, where the Kuomintang ruled under martial law until 1987.
