harboring fugitives and interfering with Federal Law enforcement should be enough to put her away for a long time. Maybe she can run for some prisoner office while she's in the joint.

Comment on Gas Prices Plunge to Lowest Levels in Years… Except in California by Joseph Patrick Thompson
Why not have transit riders pay for the full cost of their rides? Motorists pay 102% of our costs of transport, but transit riders pay less than 10% of operating costs (e.g., Fresno down to about 5%), and none of their fixed, capital costs. If we privatized transit, then we would not be paying for all the empty bus seat transport that the transit agencies say is an essential service. It's essential for their brass & employees to get the above-market wages, salaries, benefits & pensions, and Golden Parting Windfalls for top agency brass. We're seeing CAHSRA force the same taxpayer-killing model as the transit agencies bless us with: Motorists & taxpayers gouged to Heck and back; transit agency vested interests get everything on their Wish List. California is No Santa Claus Land for motorists and taxpayers; while it's All Your Dreams Come True Land for transit's powerful vested interests.

Danish intelligence report warns of US military threat under Trump
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The United States is using its economic power to “assert its will” and threaten military force against friend and foe alike, a Danish intelligence agency said in a new report. The Danish Defense Intelligence Service, in its latest annual assessment, said Washington’s greater assertiveness under the Trump administration also comes as China and Russia seek to diminish Western, especially American, influence. Perhaps most sensitive to Denmark — a NATO and European Union member country, and a U.S. ally — is growing competition between those great powers in the Arctic. U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed a desire to see Greenland, a semiautonomous and mineral-rich territory of Denmark, become part of the United States, a move opposed by Russia and much of Europe. “The strategic importance of the Arctic is rising as the conflict between Russia and the West intensifies, and the growing security and strategic focus on the Arctic by the United States will further accelerate these developments,” said the report, published Wednesday. The assessment also follows the release last week of a new Trump administration national security strategy that depicts European allies as weak and aims to reassert America’s dominance in the Western Hemisphere. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Russia is worried about NATO’s activities in the Arctic and will respond by strengthening its military capability in the polar region. The findings and analyses in the report echo a string of recent concerns, notably in Western Europe, about an increasingly go-it-alone approach by the United States, which under Trump’s second term has favored bilateral deals and partnerships at the expense of multilateral alliances like NATO. “For many countries outside the West, it has become a viable option to forge strategic agreements with China rather than the United States,” read the report, which was written in Danish. “China and Russia, together with other like-minded states, are seeking to reduce Western – and particularly US – global influence.” “At the same time, uncertainty has grown over how the United States will prioritize its resources in the future,” it added. “This gives regional powers greater room for maneuver, enabling them to choose between the United States and China or to strike a balance between the two.” Related Articles Belarus leader hosts US envoy as he seeks to improve his country’s ties with the West Cut off by their banks and even iced out by Alexa, sanctioned ICC staffers remain resolute A Chinese official exposed his boss.

Trump has also refused to rule out military force in Greenland, where the United States already has a military base. “The United States is leveraging economic power, including threats of high tariffs, to assert its will, and the possibility of employing military force – even against allies – is no longer ruled out,” the report said.
