Fires endanger Reagan library. 36,000 crayons at risk. You'd think Nancy would have seen this coming

My apologies for the people trying to live through this, as I do not mean to diminish what they are going through. But the media attention to the library of one of the people whose policies helped enable climate change is ridiculous. (Sigh). But I suppose it is news of some sort.

And, I remember how the GOP ran a covert operation directed by Bush Sr. against US interests with Iran.

Reagan had the solar heating system that Carter had installed at the WH, ripped out. More importantly, he demoted the Department of Energy from the Cabinet.

His "Library" getting burned to the ground would be a fitting end for his energy policies 35+ years ago.
