    Under the dome

    It’s summer

    It’s hot.

    But when it gets hot we get alarming reports that it has ‘never been this hot before.’ it has.. and will be again.

    But boy when it’s hot, and this hot, it feels like it was never this hot before.

    From the National Weather Service: Summer heat wave builds across the central and eastern U.S. and excessive heat continues in the Southwest. An upper level system may produce storms capable of damaging winds, tornadoes, large hail, and heavy rain in the Great Lakes. The tail end of this system may also spark severe storms in the Plains. Critical fire weather in place for parts of the Northwestern U.S. and interior Alaska

  • A family is accused of earning $7.6 million by taking cans and bottles from Arizona and recycling them in California

    A family is accused of earning $7.6 million by taking cans and bottles from Arizona and recycling them in California

    Prosecutors say what the family did is fraud.

    We have heard of extreme couponing. It doesn’t compare to this scheme to ‘save the planet’ and earn millions in what prosecutors call fraud and illegal.

    In a felony complaint filed this month, state prosecutors charged eight family members in Riverside County with defrauding the state by importing used bottles and cans from Arizona — some 178 tons in 8 months — and recycling them in California.

    The recycling operation earned the family $7.6 million, according to a statement from the office of California’s Attorney General, Rob Bonta. Investigators also found a stash of “illegally imported beverage containers” worth another $1 million.

    When someone purchases a plastic or aluminum bottle in California, they typically pay an extra 5 to 10 cents in “California Redemption Value,” or CRV, which the consumer can get back by returning the items to one of the state’s more than 1,200 recycling centers. Arizona has no such program.

    “California’s recycling program is funded by consumers, and helps protect our environment and our communities,” Bonta said. “Those who try to undermine its integrity through criminal operations will be held accountable.”

  • Jason Aldean’s “Small Town” video edited out Black Lives Matter references

    Jason Aldean’s “Small Town” video edited out Black Lives Matter references

    But the question is this.. was the video edited in a small town?

    The video, which currently has more than 19 million views, is now six seconds shorter than when it was uploaded to YouTube on July 14. It no longer contains news footage from Fox 5 Atlanta depicting violent confrontations during the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests in the summer of 2020.

    It’s unclear when the video was edited but it seems to have been within the last week.

    Portions of the news clip appeared twice in the original music video — in one instance, they were projected on the wall of the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, where a Black man named Henry Choate, was lynched in 1927. The courthouse was also the site of the 1946 Columbia Race Riot.
