Some politicians and influential people believe that the wildfires that have ravaged the Los Angeles region this week are caused by a little fish known as the Delta smelt. Prominent individuals, such as President-elect Donald Trump, have stated that regulations pertaining to the endangered Delta smelt have an impact on the amount of water that can be extracted from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta's fish habitat. They stated that this is the reason why firemen fighting to put out the fires are having trouble getting water. Due to excessive demand, three water tanks and a few fire hydrants temporarily lost water on Tuesday, according to municipal officials. The several flames that have burnt over 45 square miles of the city as of Thursday, forcing over 180,000 people from their homes, are n...

On Friday, a winter storm is predicted to affect the region, with worsening weather predicted from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

The latest in the tech billionaire's campaign to mobilize support for conservative candidates across Europe and North America, Elon Musk hosted a live event on his social media platform X on Thursday featuring a leader of the German far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD). AfD co-leader Alice Weidel spoke with Musk, the world's richest man, for over an hour, providing the anti-immigrant party with a high-profile boost ahead of next month's national elections. AfD, which has been excluded from mainstream German politics due in part to its leaders' denial of Nazi atrocities, could benefit from Musk's free publicity. Some AfD members support a two-tiered society where ethnic Germans are granted more rights than persons from immigrant backgrounds, according to a German court th...
