Again, do you REALLY think he didn’t know what his company was doing?

Why should such a man be a Senator?

Why wouldn't a DOJ run by the the democratic party go after him?

Because it’s a corporation, and it’s easier to go after it. AND remember that Scott was a CEO, not a Republican per se. So they did what they always do. But the corporation had to jettison Scott, because they knew he was the one responsible. So they gave him a boatload of cash and the boot.

And that made him a hero to people like you even though he engineered the biggest theft in history at that time. That kinda guy is someone who is a hero to guys like you.

(CNN) — The largest active wildfire in the United States has scorched almost 270,000 acres in eastern Oregon, as nearly 80 large active wildfires are burning in the US, including a California blaze that exploded in size overnight. Here’s the latest:

• California battles northern blaze: The Park Fire in California has exploded to 71,500 acres and is 3% contained, according to CalFire. A suspect has been arrested after being identified pushing a car engulfed in fire 60 feet into a gully, “spreading flames that caused the Park Fire,” the Butte County District Attorney’s Office announced Thursday afternoon. The blaze has forced mandatory evacuations in Butte County, where the state’s deadliest wildfire, the Camp Fire, killed more than 80 people in 2018.

Chevron Dumps California for Texas After 145 Years

(Bloomberg) -- Chevron Corp., based in California since the days of kerosene lamps, is moving headquarters to Texas after years of fighting Golden State officials over strict environmental policies and costly regulations.

The move announced Friday will end the company’s 145 years of being based in the most populous US state. The shift prompted Texas Governor Greg Abbott to welcome Chevron to its “true home,” while a spokesperson for his California counterpart Gavin Newsom dismissed it as a “logical culmination” of a years-long transition by the oil giant.

Kansas man sentenced to prison for stealing bronze Jackie Robinson statue

WICHITA, Kan. — The man who stole a bronze Jackie Robinson statue that was cut off at the ankles and found days later smoldering in a trash can in a city park in Kansas is going to spend about 15 years in prison, although most of that time is related to a burglary that happened a few days after the January statue heist.

A judge sentenced Ricky Alderete on Friday on three different cases that he said in court stemmed from his addiction to fentanyl.
