    What is happening in Los Angeles is amazing, it just keeps going on and on and the strong winds are set to return.

    I am trying to think of a city in Europe that would loose such control. I can't think of any. In Austria, for instance the danger of forest fires, is much worse but they kept their forests in order. Liberal or not.
    I see loads of their fire equipment was sent to help in Ukraine (my God, why?), their Mayor was in Africa even though severe weather warnings had been given.

    Is everyone nuts?

    Is it true that there was no water available in order to protect a rare fish?

    In West Hollywood she met women who liked abortion
    As a Catholic, Lindsey Horvath said she doesn’t think it is her role to tell women what to do

    Lindsey Horvath is pro-choice. This may not be surprising, considering Horvath was recently re-elected to the City Council of West Hollywood, one of Southern California’s most liberal cities which declared itself pro-choice nearly 30 years ago.

    What is surprising is that Horvath grew up with a Catholic upbringing, attending religious schools for most of her young life and in college at the University of Notre Dame. Despite religious views and support of abortion seemingly at odds in common political rhetoric, the councilmember said she is pro-choice because of her faith, not in spite of it.

    The councilmember believes life begins at conception and that abortion is the termination of a life, views that more commonly align with those who are pro-life.

    Horvath also believes the world is a better place when women have safe and legal access to abortion. She said in an interview she does not want to live in a world where abortion is illegal and only available to the rich, while the poor are left to go about the procedure in unsafe ways.

    She said her Catholic values have guided her in her life and throughout her public service.

    “Because of my Catholic upbringing, when I see people being mistreated, it’s impossible for me to unsee it,” Horvath said.

    Horvath grew up on the east side of Cleveland, where she attended Catholic school until she was 15. When her dad took a job in Las Vegas, her family moved to Nevada. She left religious schooling for a few years, before returning to the Midwest to attend one of the largest Catholic universities in the nation.

    A political science and gender studies double major, Horvath became heavily involved with organizations on campus that dealt with issues affecting women. She helped produce The Vagina Monologues, which Horvath said was no easy feat given the university’s conservative Catholic nature.

    Horvath said she also helped create a Gay-Straight Alliance and championed the addition of language in the university’s non-discrimination policy for faculty and staff regarding sexual orientation.

    Since then, she has evolved into a leader on women’s issues, serving as a Global Coordinator for One Billion Rising, a campaign to end rape and sexual assault against women, and as a member of the West Hollywood Women’s Advisory Board.

    While being a voice on women’s and sexual orientation issues seemed like a no-brainer to her, Horvath said her stance on abortion has been an evolution.

    She remembers going to the right to life Mass with her mother as a young child and asking, “Why would anyone want to kill babies?”

    In high school, she had a close friend who had an abortion. Horvath described it as “the worst kept secret” at school. Instead of feeling angry or resentful that her friend had an abortion, Horvath said she felt horrible for her. Seeing her friend deal with the guilt and shame that came with the procedure is something Horvath still distinctly remembers two decades later.

    When Horvath moved to West Hollywood, she began meeting people who had positive experiences with the procedure. She said she met women who explained to her what having access to abortion meant to them.

    Between the experience she had with her high school friend and the stories she heard from community members, Horvath came to realize she wrongly believed that women who had abortions have no regard for life nor personal morals. Instead, she learned that the decision to have an abortion is complex, but the procedure ultimately benefits them….


    As a Catholic, Horvath said she doesn’t think it is her role to tell women what to do with their bodies.

    “I think we’re not called to tell people what to do; we’re called to show people how to live,” Horvath said….


    The above comes from an April 27 posting on USC Annenberg Media,

    That woman is full of self-deluding rationalisations and contradictions. She can't claim ignorance, however. She was taught that abortion is killing babies. I suspect she's well aware that the upside-down cross, which she wears as a public figure with the authority that goes with that, is a satanic symbol of value-inversion.

    She's about as representative of the Catholic faith as Pol Pot.

    There are two Churches right alongside each other. The True Church of Jesus which was founded by Him , the Bride of Christ. Then the mimic of it , the False Church which mimics the One, True, Catholic Church and to which much of our present Leadership both in the Vatican and elsewhere belong.

    “Thus, the more violently they try to occupy the places of worship, the more they separate themselves from the Church. They claim that they represent the Church; but in reality, they are the ones who are expelling themselves from it and going astray. Even if Catholics faithful to Tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ.”
    ― St Athanasius of Alexandria

    I watched a video clip of California Govenor Gavin Newsome promoting his 'Dam Destruction' policy. He was very proud that once again there would be salmon fish swimming in Californian rivers - as they had for millions of years. It certainly stands to reason that the fire hydrants were empty because the reservoirs empty. As a result of Gavin's policy, 4 dams were blown up. See also Trump saying that he encouraged Gavin Newsome to get lots more water from the north in a deal which Trump had pre-approved, but Newsome declined.

    "As a Catholic...." She is NOT a Catholic in any sense of the word. What a horrifying description of a soul that has lost her way so utterly that she can be described in this way. I'm sure she has ancestors in purgatory and heaven who are interceding for her. Perhaps living family members who are praying. But the upside down cross tells us her affiliations.

    Yes. Newsome stopped the water collection policy to save a smelt. Unbelievable. But Californians voted for him. Over and over. "The land of fruits and nuts."

    There are so many good devout Catholics in California. Lights in the darkness. How do they survive?? It's ancient Rome on steroids.

  16. It sure looks like St Brigid's cross if you look closely. Not that it means anything. People are showing their true colors right now...there is no going back.

  17. Mel Gibson's interview with Joe Rogan is pretty good.. he says things about the water shortage that everyone is thinking.. I only saw clips and yes Joe has terrible language so I won't recommend anyone watch it. Great clips though.

    Could it not be spraying of homes again with chemicals? I remember someone did a story on only houses burning, but not trees next to them and how suspicious it all was.
