Effect of stronger winds on fire in London

mardi 26 juillet 2022 à 01:18

If there had been stronger winds, fire might have engulfed much of London last week.

*These soaring temperatures have given Britain a taste of the dystopia to come.* Other parts of the world, too.

Bannon's defiance of subpoena

mardi 26 juillet 2022 à 01:18

Why Bannon's defiance of a subpoena to testify in Congress goes hand in hand with insurrection.

Bannon claimed that the wrecker still has the "executive privilege" to forbid Bannon from testifying, even though the wrecker no longer holds an executive office. This could be the basis of an appeal.

Any Republican elected in 2024 might put this into practice. Reportedly Republicans in the Senate support that plan, and will block the efforts to legislate against it.
