PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Golfers were sent scrambling for safety as massive waves overtook an ocean-front golf course during one of a series of atmospheric rivers to slam into California in recent weeks.  The group was completing the 14th hole at the Monterey Peninsula Country Club in Pebble Beach when a video recorded by Peter Butler shows the group was sent running for higher ground. Butler began filming the unruly ocean crashing onto the normally serene golf course to document the wild weather. He can be heard describing the "45-foot waves" and soon realizing they needed to move fast. "It's going to hit us, dude," someone in the video says

Quit complaining and keep playing as the Rules of Golf allow for relief from casual water. It's not bad weather until it's raining horizontally. You just can't please some golfers. Playing at Pebble Beach - enjoy it.

Hey, it's just another "hazard" to play on a California golf course, along with needles, drug paraphernalia, and homeless addicts stealing golf balls for fentanyl.

Best to just let the waves play through. At least you don't have ball stealing alligators to contend with!!

I remember when atmospheric rivers were called rainstorms. Guess that doesn’t sound scary enough.

On the 18th hole at Pebble Beach, the retaining wall that protects much of the 18th hole and green has a curved shape to direct the wave back onto itself. Kind of like a backwards C. Even at low tide, the waves hit fairly close to that wall. I've not seen any video of the 18th hole yet. I'll have to check out the webcam from Pebble Beach.

No wonder they were able to get a Tee Time on short notice, bet they don't get a refund either. Green fees are $595, plus $45 per person to use a cart, caddies are another $95 plus tip(walking the course with a caddy to coach your club selection, explain the approaches and greens, tell you stories, and prolong your 'experience' a bit is the better option, methinks). If you book a room the cart is gratis, but the room costs between $650-1900.00 per night.

I walked the course #12 and it didn't cost me a dime to do so. People walk their dogs on the course since it's a public course. I did notice that almost every foursome that ended their round, posed for a picture on the eighteenth green. The scenery is spectacular and if you're a golfer, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to play a course that hosted many a professional tournament where all the great golfers have played without having to be a member of that country club. So, while the cost is expensive, they memories will last a lifetime.

In a wide-ranging address in honor of Martin Luther King Day, President Biden called for cops to use deadly force as the last resort and questioned why car insurance costs more in neighborhoods with heavily black populations.  The president also insisted America needed to remember its 'abuses' in remarks at the National Action Network's MLK day breakfast at the historic Mayflower Hotel in downtown Washington, D.C.

Emails from the “Laptop from Hell” in 2010 show Hunter Biden paid for home repairs on President Joe Biden’s Delaware residence, where stashed classified documents were unearthed by the president’s attorneys on Wednesday. Hunter paid thousands of dollars for Joe Biden’s home maintenance, including a $190 per month AT&T phone bill, according to emails between Hunter and Eric Schwerin, his business partner at Rosemont Seneca. “FYI, there are a few outstanding bills that need to be paid and I am not sure which ones are a priority and which should get paid out of ‘my’ account and which should be put on hold or paid out of the ‘Wilmington Trust Social Security Check Account,”

WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden on Monday criticized Republicans as "fiscally demented" and said the GOP's top priority legislation would worsen inflation while increasing taxes on the working class and helping the super wealthy. "That’s how they’re starting their new term," Biden said during remarks at an event hosted by the National Action Network, a civil rights organization. "If any of these bills happen to reach my desk, I will veto them." Biden began his comments, delivered on the federal holiday honoring the birthday of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., listing ways he said his administration has helped Black Americans, a group crucial to his 2020 election to the White House.

Fresh off their attacks on Republicans for spending time to debate and negotiate over the leadership of and House rules for the 118th Congress, the corporate media have executed a perfectly synchronized pivot to now assailing Republicans for investigating Hunter Biden. But House Republicans, now in the majority, aren’t investigating Hunter Biden: They are investigating evidence of corruption by Joe Biden and the FBI, as well as other government actors’ efforts to run defense for the now-president, including by pressuring private companies to censor speech. By regaining a majority in the House, Republicans now hold control over oversight committees, such as the Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the Judiciary Committee,

One of the major wins of the McCarthy drama that gripped Congress last week was a pledge from the new Speaker to release all of the January 6 riot footage. Via Newsweek: "Speaking to reporters on Thursday, McCarthy said he intends to make public the thousands of hours of footage from the insurrection—something Republicans have long called for, as part of attempts to exonerate both lawmakers and civilians accused of wrongdoing in connection to the riots. McCarthy said that he would consider releasing all the footage as the 'public should see what happened' that day, rather than rely on the report from the House Select Committee which investigated the attack."

Much of the commentary concerning the presence of classified documents at the Penn Biden Center office and the President’s Delaware home has focused on the delay between the discovery and the public revelation of that discovery. And it is difficult to believe that the timing was apolitical. There is another question about the timing, however, that no one seems to have asked: Why were classified documents that had been in Biden’s possession since 2017 suddenly found less than 90 days after the FBI raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago compound?

The star, best recognized for his role as Michael "Meathead" Stivic on the popular 1970s sitcom "All in the Family," has a history of criticizing the former president, labeling him as "mentally unstable" and accusing him of "aiding and abetting the enemy" in a December 2018 tweet.
