ALL PIPELINES 12/30 STOP CULTURAL GENOCIDE/Ecosystem Attack/StandWithUkraine/Jan 6 Hearings/climate

It does have to be addressed even with the chaos in the House. They won't be able to do too much hard considering their slim lead and no hold on the Senate. Read to see what these 5 things are. I'm almost sure anyone paying attention to the #ClimateCrisis would agree that these are necessary. - 5 ways the US can fight climate change in 2023 via @voxdotcom

Here we go again, more war crimes. These SOBs damn well better be held accountable. When will these drones be picked up and downed over Russian terriritory? Apparently they've caught some but not enough. That stuff about Belarus, I find it hard to believe anything they claim. Actually I believe nothing they say. Wasn't Putin there recently? They are his allies. - Missile barrage hits key Ukraine infrastructure

Love the idea of zero deforestation in the Amazon.- Lula taps Amazon defender for environment minister

Understandable if it's done so that there is nothing to interfere with the DOJ's investigation. That makes sense. Thoughts? Personally think it's necessary so that nothing damages holding those at the top accountable for their actions re: the insurrection. After all the DOJ will have them. - Release of Jan. 6 records in doubt

A compromise? In this case, I strongly disagree. I thought it was already decided what should be done with his remains? Someone backing out now? 3 guesses what this is reminding me of yet again. It has to do with respect. Feel like all this has already been said. I also feel the argument for science falls flat. - Bury or study? What to do with P-22's earthly remains

IMHO he really has no business in Congress. Let me count the ways or do I really need to? It is spelled out clearly here. One thing I must say is being in total agreement w/him being called a "political hack." But there's much more, - McCarthy has no business in Congress' highest office

Language can be considered a weapon just that it is also an intricate part of culture, and that's exactly what Putin is attempting to destroy. You've probably heard the quote: "Words are weapons." It's been used numerous times in different conflicts. Think of it like this: "...there can be nothing in common with the enemy." - Learn Ukrainian, defeat Russia

A KTLA news truck was in the area yesterday, north of Cypress, looking for her since she had been sited close to where I live.This just isn't their habitat here. She has been sighted in this area north of Cypress, too. - Take a closer look at the rare snowy owl that's drawn hundreds to a quiet Cypress neighborhood

Figured this is worth using my last gift for this month. Notice the difference between these full pardons to what the disgraced, twice impeached con man pardoned. You should notice a HUGE difference. I'm using "what" intentionally. - Biden grants full pardons to six people who served their sentences

What the heck is going on in AZ's voting counts? Still it may be a close race but it's highly unlikely a hand count can put Hamadeh over the top. Looks like he's about to become the new poster boy for laughs. - Kris Mayes wins attorney general race over Abe Hamadeh after recount, but margin narrows via @azcentral

I do find this difficult to believe - EPA and Tribal Members Join Marathon Petroleum in Safeguarding the Environment via @Yahoo

Sad that Barbara has left us. Still she lived a full life, achieving many firsts that other women have learned from, and have followed after her. Beautiful tribute. I expect a full-length tribute to follow in the new year. We have lost so many good people this year. - Barbara Walters, trailblazing TV news broadcaster, longtime ABC News anchor, dies at 93

Gifting this article so that you can read. Interesting byline, China not wanting to risk sanctions because of COVID. If COVID wasn't rampant there now, would this still be the case? Would China give Russia what it wants? Their weakness is described as being "encumbered by geopolitical and economic threats to their informal authoritarian alliance." Putin needs China as a customer for his fossil fuels. China would fit that bill, but will China take the chance as mentioned above? Putin will continue to lose, be more isolated. This should take a toll on him. Do I care? - Xi and Putin Meet Again, Two Strongmen in a Weak Moment

Can't imagine where Abbott got this idea. So will the Feds go after him to take this down? I mean, this is just happened in AZ and is costing quite a bit of money, taxpayer dollars, to remove. He can't find something more productive that will actually really benefit Texans. I'm thinking now re: the latest debacle re: energy issues.Abbott isn't looking to bolster border security. Let's be real. This is another one of his stunts. - Texas Builds Shipping Container Border Wall to Fight Illegal Crossings via @epochtimes
