Bernie took little Fire last night as the other candidates made sure Bloomberg was shown for whom he is, a conservative Republican of the old school (pre personality cult) who wants to buy his way to the Oval Office.

Biden played the fool, piggybacking on Warren's "just tell the women they are released from their nondisclosures"

Of course it doesn't work that way

Could you possibly check your source for that quote, Josh?  My newspaper quoted one "RedStateWard" as saying that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Thursday_bushfires

The Black Thursday bushfires were a devastating series of fires that swept the state of Victoria, Australia, on 6 February 1851. Twelve human lives were lost, along with one million sheep, thousands of cattle and countless native animals.

"The temperature became torrid, and on the morning of the 6th of February 1851, the air which blew down from the north resembled the breath of a furnace. A fierce wind arose, gathering strength and velocity from hour to hour, until about noon it blew with the violence of a tornado. By some inexplicable means it wrapped the whole country in a sheet of flame — fierce, awful, and irresistible."[1]


_______________

The weather reached record extremes. By eleven it was about 47 °C (117 °F) in the shade. The air cooled to 43 °C (109 °F) by one o'clock and rose to 45 °C (113 °F) around four o’clock.
Survivors claimed the air was so full of smoke and heat that their lungs seemed to collapse.
 
The air was so dark it made the roads seem bright.[3] Pastures and plains became shrivelled wastelands: water-holes disappeared, creeks dried up, and trees turned into combustible timber.
Clouds of smoke filled the air; forests and ranges became one large "sheet of flames".[3]
The hot north wind was so strong that thick black smoke reached northern Tasmania, creating a murky mist, resembling a combination of smoke and fog.[4] Homes, crops and gardens were consumed by the rushing fire leaving a quarter of Victoria in a heap of desolate ruins.
The community fled to water to escape the suffocating air around them, returning after everything was over to the sight of "blackened homesteads"[3] and the charred bodies of animals that could not escape. The weather at sea was even "more fearful than on shore".[3] The intense heat could be felt 32 km (20 mi) out to sea where a ship came under burning ember attack and was covered in cinders and dust.[5]

No cars, and no coal-fired power stations in 1851.

Someone should tell the climate alarmists.

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Yes it does.

Only works that way in the reality based community!

Have the ability to wonder whether the person who wrote this:

It's totally believable.

Oh yes it is news, and accurate news at that, with photos and graphic and true descriptions..
A man in Brisbane the other day doused his estranged wife in petrol and set her alight as she was about to commence the school run.
He then burnt to death his 3 little kids and himself in the car he set on fire.

Fast train derailed just north of Melbourne late yesterday having left Sydney early in the morning.
Driver and assistant drive dead, many injured. Slow trains are best.
Accurate reporting, photos, etc.

A Chinese student left a nice dog out on his Sydney apartment balcony, it slowly starved to death over 3 months.
He's been tossed in prison for a minimum of 8 months. Should've been 8 years. He then should be deported, never to be allowed to return under any circumstances.
Accurate reporting, including photos.

Daily Telegraph is the 'paper of the People'.
