TALKING POINTS
- As Newsom and Biden allow forests to burn, the unintended consequence could be more climate problems.
As forests go up in smoke, so will California’s climate plan — Now, with recent fires having killed more than 13% of all giant sequoias — a species that grows only in California’s western Sierra — scientists and officials are growing increasingly concerned that the state is nearing a tipping point in which its forests emit more climate-warming carbon dioxide than they absorb.

- Visit the Capitol building on L Street and this is what you get—a Third World city:
Henneberger: Postcard from downtown Sacramento: Home of the naked, the sick and the dispossessed — A mostly incoherent man wearing only a towel, draped in all the wrong places, walked barefoot down K Street in downtown Sacramento Thursday. Melinda Henneberger in the Sacramento Bee$ — 8/29/22
- More California cities are taking control of private property via rent control. Own an apartment building and you take the economic and legal risk—while government will control your income, without recourse or compensation. Watch as property values go down—so the government can force a purchase of your property and basement rates—and give the facility to the homeless.
More California cities enact rent control to protect tenants, upsetting apartment owners — When Bell Gardens resident Monchis Curiel got a notice last year from her landlord that rent for her three-bedroom apartment would more than double the next day — from $1,200 a month to $2,500 — she was shocked. Summer Lin in the Los Angeles Times$ — 8/29/22
- More shots for the Biden Crime Family to take so they can get COVID. This is insanity—the other vaccines and boosters did not work.
Omicron COVID-19 booster shots are coming: Will they be a game-changer? — The long-in-the-works offering would mark an ambitious new phase in the nation’s vaccination campaign and, officials say, give residents another option to protect themselves ahead of a possible coronavirus resurgence in the fall and winter.

keep you in the loop of what the pooh bahs know. The phrase “tom/tom’s” comes from my
mentor, Lorelei Kinder who never passed a rumor, just called to tell me what she heard on the
“Tom/Tom’s”. This column is named in her honor.)
