San Francisco Bay Area folks, Leslie Brinkley is retiring from KGO. I remember seeing her standing on the Bay Bridge after the Loma Prieta earthquake, she has been around since the dawn of time. Just a couple of weeks ago I saw her on the news and thought she had been working for so many years.

What could possibly go wrong? We are on the ring of fire with 9.0 earthquakes all around the Pacific Ocean. We are past due for a 9.0 earthquake from the Cascadia Subduction Zone. NOAA lost the funding for our tsunami warning system. Trump could care less if our coastal towns wash away.

My guess is this self styled whistle blower will be praised on Fox if not appearing on it in as a guest within days. And connecting with Steven Miller who will want to know why it took so long for ICE to respond.
