ABC news didn't call the police or other authorities to help it, ABC news contacted Corey Bookers administration through twitter and waited 2 hours. At some point the police showed up. The police and ABC news waited in their warm cars, with a cold dog outside so they could get a photo op of Corey Booker coming to the rescue picking up the dog left outside in the cold and putting it into the police car.

Highlighted proof, opinion??? Did you not watch the news video. ABC literally said they found the dog, sat there and contacted Corey Booker via Twitter to come save the dog. The news video goes to Corey Booker picking up the dog off someones stoop and putting it into the cop car. Meanwhile ABC sickenly gushing all over Corey Booker.

How is that different from you pretending to care about whales and dolphins in your endless drive to complain about Phil Murphy?

This is disgustingly filthy behavior by the media. If you give this a pass, you're abating the problem.

Think you meant to use a different word there.

I'm not giving anything a pass. I don't have any idea if th Corey Booker dog story actually happened or not, but politicians and media do both have a rep for dishonesty. Nothing new.

It may not be within lifetime of any but the youngest posters to this forum or younger, but make no mistake about it; natural gas fuel for heating, cooking, etc... is going way of Dodo. Well at least far as more liberal, democrat, progressive states are concerned.

To that end heat pumps will slowly replace gas for clothes dryers, heating, etc... Electricity will replace gas for cooking and baking, EVs for vehicles.. and so it goes....

If Biden wins in November count on another four years of that head of DOE basically expanding every energy scheme that comes out of CA nationwide.

It's not just USA either; across Europe either via mandate or otherwise countries are getting shot of or at least drastically reducing natural gas use for all sorts in favor of EVs, heat pumps, induction ranges, etc...

Makes it easier to have just one thing to turn off to force you back into compliance.
