If They need souvenirs for their maga display case. I know a guy that has trump stem ware, trump eyeglasses, anything trump or if it is nationalist merch he has it. He's an older (R) and not a rich or educated man. Sad how people like the tucker, trump and desantis can take such advantage of their own followers, especially those of meager means.

Climate Change Statement:
“Despite all attempts to deny, conceal, gloss over or relativize the issue, the signs of climate change are here and increasingly evident. No one can ignore the fact that in recent years we have witnessed extreme weather phenomena, frequent periods of unusual heat, drought and other cries of protest,” he wrote. Climate change will likely only get worse and ignoring it will heighten “the probability of extreme phenomena that are increasingly frequent and intense,” he wrote.
The pope paid particular attention to the disproportionate responsibility of rich countries for climate change.
“If we consider that emissions per individual in the United States are about two times greater than those of individuals living in China, and about seven times greater than the average of the poorest countries, we can state that a broad change in the irresponsible lifestyle connected with the Western model would have a significant long-term impact,” he wrote.

Donald Trump’s multiple crimes are encouraged and covered up by an organization of criminals—MAGA Republicans are trying to replace America’s Constitutional Republic with Trump’s Fascist Christian White-Supremacist Kleptocracy. Donald Trump and each of his co-conspirators—his complicit lawyers, former members of his cabinet and staff, members of Congress, and members of his family--must be prosecuted, convicted, and sent to prison for multiple crimes--including Perjury, Obstruction of Justice, Seditious Conspiracy, and Espionage.
BILLY JONES WILDCAT RAILROAD. Los Gatos.
During the war year of 1943, Billy Jones, a Southern Pacific railroad engineer, opened an 18-inch gauge railway in the southern San Francisco peninsular town of Los Gatos.
The Billy Jones’ “Wildcat Railroad” featured a miniature live steamer from the Los Angeles area (Venice), the Ocean Park and Playa del Rey Railroad. Jones acquired some PPIE Overfair passenger cars and modified their tracks for the “Wildcat” operation.
The 1915 San Francisco PPIE had a miniature steam railroad, called the Overfair Railway, that ran along the Marina between Fort Mason and the Presidio. A 10 cent fare provided transportation to the Polo Field, State / Foreign buildings, Calif. Building, Exhibit Palaces, Yacht Harbor, and The Zone. The design of the 1/3 scale locomotives was based on the Pacific type locomotive, which would have taken tourists to the San Francisco PPIE in 1915.
Following the PPIE, Louis MacDermot took his locomotives back to his estate in Oakland. Later, MacDermot found a new home for his trains at what is now known as the Oakland Zoo. In 1943, they all moved to Billy Jones' ranch in Los Gatos. After Billy Jones died in 1968, his railroad moved to Vasona Park and the remaining Overfair locomotives went to the Calistoga Steam Railroad.
When the Calistoga Steam Railroad closed, Al Smith, president of Orchard Supply Hardware and railroad enthusiast, bought the trains, along with a turntable, and took them to his 3200-acre ranch in Swanton, just north of Santa Cruz. With the help of many volunteers, the Swanton Pacific Railroad was built. More of the Overfair Railway made its way to the Swanton Pacific Railroad and cars to Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad in Vasona Park.
Al Smith also donated one incomplete Overfair Railway locomotive to Calif. State Railroad Museum in Sacramento where it was rebuilt and is now on display in the lobby of the museum. Since 1995, all of the Overfair Railway locomotives that ever ran at the Panama Pacific International Exhibition in San Francisco, are now at Swanton Pacific Ranch.

An update…Al Smith’s Swanton Ranch suffered a devastating wildfire 3 years ago as part of the CZU Lightning Complex Fire. ALL of the on-site historic Overfair equipment was severely damaged. The ranch’s owner, Cal Poly whom received the ranch and railroad as a donation from Smith before his death, chose not to rebuild the railroad and seek an ownership transfer. In early July, it was announced the railroad is going to be moved to Santa Margarita where it’s new owner is committed to rebuilding the equipment. A new volunteer organization, the Overfair Pacific Railroad Society has been formed to support the new owner. The first loads of Overfair equipment left Swanton in the past couple of weeks.
