The wildfires were not caused due to incompetence, but rather “on purpose malice” posing as incompetence, and they are likely being started with DARPA directed energy weapons (a certain shade of blue is a shield) and Antifa posing as firemen, just as in 2020:
Globalist Goals: rewild America, clear off the shores for the military, kill most of us, shove the rest of us into 15 minute prison cities. To do this you must first destroy the old cities and systems and rebuild new ones.
All of this destruction is geared toward maximizing pain and death, while destroying economic, social, physical, and mental productive capital on a vast scale. All designed to lead directly to global dependence-based enslavement where you will eat ze bugs and own nothing and be happy about it - or else.
In other words, their goal is to demolish our ability to sustain ourselves, transforming us into slaves reliant on their "generosity" for our survival and they’re reaching a level of control where Harari feels confident telling us that our Free Will is over while contemplating killing us outright out loud in public:
“Mr. Harari, thinking about all this, puts it this way: “Utopia and dystopia depends on your values.” … The useless class he describes is uniquely vulnerable. “If a century ago you mounted a revolution against exploitation, you knew that when bad comes to worse, they can’t shoot all of us because they need us,” he said, citing army service and factory work.
Now it is becoming less clear why the ruling elite would not just kill the new useless class. “You’re totally expendable,” he told the audience. … “We don’t need you. But we are nice, so we’ll take care of you.” —Source (worth reading in full): https://archive.is/rWLoO
I hate to like this comment but there’s truths in these assertions that can’t be ignored. So like it is.They really do hate us enough to create internal warscapes to take us down.
Add the California insurance companies who "just happened" to cancel the insurance policies of tens of thousands of California insureds, just months before insurance arsonists struck and burned their houses down. No there's a list to behold and wonder at.
And don't leave out the California professional politicians from the list, those who made sure there would be no water in the fire hydrants to fight the fires with. Fires they made inevitable due to "gross incompetence." Like those "words" mean anything anymore.
Due to the losses from wildfires over the years, State Farm and Allstate asked for rate increases on Home-owners insurance and were refused by, you guessed it, Newsom and the Sacramento Mafia. So they cancelled the availability of the insurance. It is not only in LA either. I would guess we have seen just the start.
Actually, having worked and lived in California for many years, it was the professional politicians who "cancelled" the affordability of houses and homeowner's insurance.
A new roof runs $30,000.00. A new septic system costs around $30,000.00. The average MSRP for a new car is now $4,800.00 -- up another $1,000 in one year. I haven't got that kind of money just lying around. Most people I know don't. Pay off your mortgage and you find out how much of your "home" our really own. Try not paying your ever-increasing property taxes (now going up almost annually here in Upstate New York, where the government is desperate for money) and see how long you "own" your house for.
Financialization will be the death of housing. Yet, for Californians, fire is free.
That's why people are supposed to understand that they put money aside for repairs. Insurance is inflating the prices. The roofers can now charge more because "insurance" pays.
Interesting insight. Like medicine. Lewis Mumford argued against Insurance in principle generations ago, saying it was anti-life. Apparently he was on to something.
Being the World's Policeman, aiding, abetting, financing the murder of other people's of the world, have the World's Globalists controlling installed idiots like Biden obediently opening the U.S. borders has a cost.
Arsonists in the U.S. are costing hundreds of $Billions. Any connection?
While a reasonable question exists concerning DEW in Hawaii with nothing blue turning to cinders, I think this was plain old do-gooder incompetence, the annual wind fest, and undoubtedly fire bug arsonists of the mentally ill and criminal persuasions.
It is remarkable that we are seeing total destruction of the wealthiest and most scenic places in the country.
We ARE seeing it. Try driving I-40 from Knoxville to Asheville.
If there is ANYTHING positive going on in the world besides the re-election of DJT, it's the fact that Hollywood has run out of ideas and its fabulously wealthy pedophiles and gays will soon be as popular as hand-held transistor radios and Fatty Arbuckle.
Hand-held transistor radios served their purpose, and quite well, for a time. I got one for Christmas when I was 10-years-old in 1963, and it was a big deal. I look back warmly and fondly at transistor radios. Not so much Fatty Arbuckle. Fatty Arbuckle is like all celebrities: American crap.
I just got through re-watching the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice. I was stunned with horror at Keira Knightly's teeth. What choppers. Those were maneater teeth. And I had to ask: "What was that all about? Why was she so important?"
However, I discovered that Kelly Reilly played an amazing part in the movie as Lady Catherine Bigley. Wonderful portrayal. However, Reilly is positively unrecognizable from the Kelly Reilly playing Beth Dutton in "Yellowstone." Must be all those tits and ass she shows off so prominently. Nothing like jumping the shark to kill a career. She too will be forgotten in a few years.
Yes, we're chimps. In some cultures, big smiles are considered offensive. I thought she was incredibly beautiful in that movie. I'm a chimp of this culture I guess.
Note: Don't date any American Indian chicks. Their teeth are huger.
Is that before or after she got her teeth fixed? She did BTW. It did not improve her appearance. That was what broke my heart. Not her man-eating choppers that seemed to hurt her face whenever she smiled broadly., and made me want to shove a McDonalds "Happy Meal" at her. Just one last thing. The 2005 version of "Pride and Prejudice" is my favorite. My preferring it to the other versions is not diminished at all by Keira Knightly. She is a perfectly adequate period actress.
There are tons more pictures on Twitter/X proving DEW was used do a search.
LOTS of evidence this was planned: insurance cancelled for all homeowners with State Farm insurance in Pacific Palisades; absolutely NO water in fire hydrants in Pacific Palisades and in Hollywood. They're trying to tell us this was brush fire, but this is L.A. a HUGE city and no brush or very little in Pacific Palisades - if this was started by a brush fire, then why are the TREES STILL GREEN AND STANDING UNTOUCHED WHILE LAWNS ARE STILL BRIGHT GREEN BUT JUST HE HOMES ARE BURNED DOWN??? I grew up in L.A. in Hollywood Hills and also close to Pacific Palisades, this whole thing was coordinated. Then there's this:
One billionaire couple owns almost ALL water in Calif:
The unburnt green trees stood out to me as well. It seems that the fire went so fast it didn’t slow down to burn living trees that contain water. But why are the leaves still green??? Weird.
Yes, there are guys in uniforms in orbit or beneath the Earth choreographing every accident, hell, every single event no matter how small. I broke a bottle of wine last night? Nope. They did.
IT's the low density properties on the fringe that catch fire from grass, then it spreads to the traditional town. Then high density fuels it. Preventing rural sprawl is the answer.
Brings to mind statements made by LBJ, "He who controls the weather, controls the world!" and Kissinger, "If you control the food, you control a nation. If you control the energy, you control a region. If you control the money, you control the world." This has been planned for a long time.
How much of the constant chemical spraying in the skies contributed to spreading the fire - acting like an accelerant?https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/#
Yes. Not to go too far down the rabbit hole, but there were reports of aluminum chaff-like conductors being carried over L.A. by the Santa Ana Winds. Air Traffic Control reported blips on their radar screens which showed four of the major fires igniting over a wide area at the exact same moment. These blips looked shockingly similar to the ones observed in the Maui fires. (now nicknamed the "Oprah-Maui-Wowie" Lightning Bolts)
Agreed, TriTorch. The end game most likely is a land grab for the SmartLA2028 agenda & the Olympics 2028. This is the planned demolition of the United States of America.

EXCELLENT work TriTorch, thank you!!! You may also want to check out In2ThinAir on You Tube, his video on Area 51 and L.A. fires connection, absolute proof it's DEW.
Those woke clueless politicians were installed so that when things like this happen they will get the blame rather than the globalists installing them and setting the woke policies. You have it backwards. It's deliberate demolition and it's all on purpose:
Or as the "Fire Commander" in British Columbia told me as he stood back and watched the small fire run out of control up the mountain behind our home, "If it burns once, it can't burn again."
The out-of-control fires ARE Government Policy abetted by using incompetent, aggrandizing Politicians and Government Unions.
The color blue was noted in the standing buildings after the Maui fire. It just so happened that these particular buildings all had one thing in common - cement board siding and tile roofs.
There was one photo on X showing a single building left standing, it was all brown with a tile roof. So what frequency is brown???
The ruined houses of the Palissades looked eerily consistent. To some extent likely due to the grid system but drone’s eye view showed the physical ruins looking almost identical.
The real de-lousing chambers are colored Prussian Blue from the cyanide gas. The gas chambers for humans are not. It's a mystery. Of course some may have been built after the war for tourists, so no mystery there. But the others?
Also check out the wiki on Prussian Blue. Prussian Blue is a color that has been used by artists for centuries. Also it is a medicine (what is the medium though? Pieces of powdered brick?) for leaching heavy metals out of the body.
Lots of very well to do folks live in these areas being torched. They have voted 90% for Blues over the years? So who are the bad guys? Reds? Trumpers? Who has it in for a bunch of lily-livered Leftists? Probably to undo their lives and their lifestyles? All of the fire origins are in well to do areas. I wonder who are the Have-Nots that are attacking the pre-eminent Haves in LA? Or which foreign nationals are trying to destroy the wealth of a very rich area? Is this domestic or global? Global or directed from a power 6000 miles to the West?
Or is it being lit from natural causes? Lit in wooded, expensive areas some long distances away from current fires? Lit where they cause the most damage? Lit while the Santa Ana winds were forecast to be blowing hard and were?
Newsom is an idiot! If only one good thing comes from this, his political demise will be it. The watering down of local talent, the mayor and fire chief are so-o-o DEI it is unbelievable. The mayor is being ripped apart by the media, Outstanding, she deserves every bit of it. Hopefully, recalls being funded by the “New Reds” in LA will get ridof these Blue incompetents. If San Francisco realizes that they may be next, they will recall Newsome.
Then there is Biden, listening to a briefing on the catastrophe at hand and all he can say is that it is an important day because he has a great grand daughter, no son. All you Trump voters out there, congrats on picking the self absorbed-crook.
80% of the P Diddy evidence was just reduced to ash. A week or two before that, the internet changed so that it's, "history" function is turned off so that nothing previously posted or searched for can be authoritatively connected to a time or person (in the code behind the interface - which is what cops and journalists use to verify time, date, etc.) These things all go together. The Satanist pedophiles are buckling down and covering their asses.
"If only one good thing comes from this, his political demise will be it."
He won't take the fall for this. You know it as well as I do. Democrats never take the fall for their incompetence. Look at the ridiculous asshole people in L.A. elected as their Mayor. Newsom is handsome, has great hair and a great smile. Women especially will continue to vote for this charlatan. So a few neighborhoods in L.A. burn up. So what. The state has nearly 40 million people who will continue to vote for that handsome bozo.
What it means is we're beyond democracy now. Even the rich Hollywood crowd or Democrat voters don't matter anymore. The bus must be about to arrive to its destination.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes! California residents are now realizing that their choice to support the repressive/progressive Democratic Party is not without personal risk. Mayor Bass and the equally clueless Governor have combined their efforts to set up California for this current disaster. Every California voter must vote red as if his/her life depends on it, because it does. Continue to support Democratic simpletons and you will continue to win stupid prizes.
Jim, I promote you to all my friends and family. I tell them you are Hunter Thompson with all the wit and none of the drugs. I tell them that are bright hopeful light in a sea of despair and black tar darkness. You routinely condemn these mischief makers as felons and murderers, which of course they are. Do you really think a few well deserved "puns" from your loyal readers deserve such scorn from the man himself? I would hope you could let such things slide, at least a little. Why bite the hands that feed?
Also: 1. Autocorrect stole my 2nd person noun "you" from a sentence above, "...you are a bright hopeful...."
2. Having personal rules for commenters, no matter how sensible, is a form of censorship. Yes, it's your blog, and you cry if you want to. However, as you might say, it's a "bad look".
3. Are we ever allowed to criticize Israel here? Tucker let Jeffery Sachs do it for almost a whole hour? What's your policy?
Requiring that commenters not use a childish pun is a form of censorship? Personally, I prefer the lack of stupid puns because often I don't know to what the pun is referring. I'd rather have the name of the individual so I know exactly to whom the writer is referring. From my part, I appreciate this "rule." It makes the comments more concise and understandable.
If you must, maybe use such terms along the lines of 'The Golden Golem Of Greatness' or "JB" (that's with the quotes); mention how Kunstler sounds a bit like cluster (phonetic anagram with a dropped n?), and how Clusterfuck (Nation) is a bit of a portmanteau but doesn't 'degrade the conversation' because it's only a title and so not within the body of the conversation and in any case is designed by the owner of the blog.
Oh, and change your nickname to a 'stupid pun' so it's 'outside of the conversation'. Stuff like that.

“Language is a virus from outer space” ~ William S. Burroughs
Who was it that reverently lifted up a tress of a blonde girl's hair and said, This is what we are fighting for? Was it Herr Hess? Commander Rockwell? Or am I remembering the future again?
I think you are remembering the future. I once read an anecdote that a Southern soldier, before he left for the war, saw some ladies walking down the street of Charleston, SC and remarked to his company that that is what we are fighting for.
Their agenda has always seemed hairbrained and retarded.
Wish more of them would flee California millions of Conservatives still live in this state in which the government is not a reflection of anything we support or believe in.
California refugees are destroying the intermountain west. Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Montana, Idaho and Wyoming now have incredibly high housing costs because of Californians bringing their wealth and driving up the bidding wars. Even Californians who have moved into my neighborhood of late, upon introduction, apologize for being from California.
I wish my state could have an immigration policy to keep Californians out.
N.AZ here. The CA refugees are like a swarm of locusts, or a metastasizing cancer…take your pick. Our rural, ranching community had its few leftists hiding in the closet for generations. Since the mass CA migration, there are enough of these people to organize into a formal group, which sponsors BLM and queer rallies on our town square. Mind you, in a county that votes 77% GOP.
They know it sickens us, so they continue. Please don’t come to AZ.
They are much, much better at politics than we are. Far more passionate and organized. They hated us and realized they were at war with us generations ago. We only realized a few years ago for the most part. Every illegal alien is a reinforcement for them. Every liberal arts degree student is a recruit.
Cankerpuss, don't we know it, the state of the great Barry Goldwater now has TWO democrat US Senators (Gallego is a commie cartel stooge), a democrat Governor who literally ran from the press and refused to debate, and a democrat Sec. of State who wanted to indict TRUMP in AZ. We are now considered America's ground zero for election fraud and corruption. It was/is so blatantly obvious that we residents are in utter shock that the courts didn't give us a fair shake to demonstrate this.
AZ politics are likely being run by the drug cartels. We hope that TRUMP kicks their asses so bad that their influence in AZ will be drastically reduced. If I were TRUMP, I'd invade Mexico and bomb the shit out of every last cartel lab, distribution point and command post.
They tried this in a small WV town near me. The VFW spilled out onto the street and the Pagan 1%ers surrounded them and told them in no uncertain terms to leave and never come back.
rd3: the leftists staged a George Floyd BLM rally on our square and recruited sheeple students from the only liberal arts college in town - a place we all loath having in our midst.
Determined that these bastards were NOT going to set fire to our historic western downtown, armed citizens came out in force and covered the entire square. Must have been 500+ citizens out there, mostly open carry and some concealed - to send a message that WE will not tolerate any bullshit - like the infernos that leftists started in other places. Some citizens even posted up from sniper positions on rooftops - Rodney King/Koreatown style! Our local police were cheerful and engaged the armed citizens in small talk - they actually seemed pleased that we were there to help protect our town. This was such a show of citizen resolve that commie CBS actually sent a crew here and it made national news - in a negative light, of course.
The story goes (via police rumors) that Antifa in Phoenix had a bus load of agitators enroute to our town, with no good intentions in mind. They got the word from one of their observers to turn around NOW, unless they wanted to return to momma in body bags. They never showed up. Is there any truth to the story? I cant confirm - but in the end...does it really matter?
Oregon Governor T Lawson McCall had a sign at the border welcoming visitors and describing all the wonders to see in Oregon. Followed by the admonishment to ". . . and then go home." We called it "Don't Californicate Oregon." In the late '60's.
Maybe those directly impacted by the fire are realizing their poor choices but California has a population of nearly 40 million people. I guarantee all those idiots directly unaffected by this fire are still 100% behind their Democratic tribe.
As in any tort case, “Contributory Negligence “ by the aggrieved victims negates their claims. By voting for the Democrats the majority of these folks put in place DEI politicians incapable of management of anything much less a major regional government like LA.
Contrast with Florida with strict Miami-Dade building codes state wide. California under mismanagement is the self made disaster. No wonder many insurance companies pulled out starting ten years ago. I feel sorry for the 50 percent who are conservative and are about to lose everything with no where to go. The elites will flee to Canada.
FEMA is turfing 3500 families out of hotels as we speak, as a state-wide winter storm is bearing down on us in NC. Meanwhile Biden has already offered (or sent?!) money to LA. Forgive me if my sympathy is limited at the moment. I lived in Orange County for 4 long years after college and even in the '80s hated it. I don't wish this devastation on anyone, but voting has consequences.
Two independent companies have stepped up and paid for 3 weeks in hotels. And by the way , Biden just sent $500 MILLION more to Ukraine. Thank God for all the wonderful people who have shown up with donated RVs, Tiny houses, campers, heaters, basic survival supplies. Proud to live here.
And we still have over 420 people missing since Helene. Efforts are being made to locate and identify every one of them. It may be years, but every family needs to know. Proud to be in NC
Money means nothing to the 3rd Obama administration. If any is left over after the California millionaires get government assistance, the Republicans in North Carolina will still be suffering.
I'm only hoping the extreme heat of the LA fires weakens the connection of California to the rest of the USA and that worthless desert floats out to sea and sinks.
There is no question: Obama has been the president for the past four years. The old dimwit who occasionally occupies the White House is a gangster, a fool, and a traitor.
E. Just by chance an acquaintance took a side trip to Reno: she reports Reno appears down at the mouth with rows of empty storefronts, closed businesses, and plenty of homeless people in the streets.
Good cops know when not to care? Like the one who walked past a woman on fire in NY subway system without trying to do anything. Anyone riding that can't be important.
You seem familiar with Reno...were you there during the golden days of the70' and 80's before Indian Casinos and the computers changed it for the worse? Much worse.
Computers released the casinos from relying on offering benefits to get people in the door. 99cent breakfasts, $4.95 one pound new york steak dinners...prime rib anywhere for $6.00...pouring 99 cent well drinks from a Tanqueray bottle opened in front of you.
Now facial recognition and player cards weed out the dead-beats.
We live in Western North Carolina and have lived with a post-disaster nightmare now for over three months and to be honest, I wish everything had burned up instead of gotten buried in toxic mud and debris. Our communities will never be the same and it is especially heartbreaking that people are still living in tents along the Swannanoa River in 20° weather, with a winter snowstorm barreling straight for us. I'm sorry for the posh people in Pacific Palisades who lost their homes, but at least they were able to go to the Beverly Hills Hotel or some other nice hotel and get ready accommodations. The people of Western North Carolina have been all but forgotten and FEMA is doing very little. The most the FEMA will reimburse a single person for damages is $42,000 so I hope that the folks in California aren't expecting their fancy beach homes to be replaced. At least they don't have to witness one of their dead neighbors being fed on by bears or climb over 50 high banks of debris entangled with dead bodies. Small blessings I suppose.
The folks in LA have not seen any FEMA or National Guard folks as of last night. I was thinking too, that when these folks look to find lodging during these first days and weeks, they are going to find loads of competition from all the illegals the Newsom Mob are paying for.
They'll keep the illegals in the hotels and make the citizens scramble for housing on their own. Remember that democrats live by ideology, and their ideology dictates that illegals are more needy than citizens, no matter the circumstances.
One can hypothesize about whether the current rash of disasters and disastrous responses thereto are intentional. One can also wonder at the absurd profligacy of the waning days of the Biden administration, with money, regulations and preemptive pardons.
All these may likely be calculated to damage or at least hamstring the second Trump administration. But what will the actual effect be? Remember, they tried to kill the man and he immediately turned it into an iconic image.
I’ve watched some interviews and read some press from those celebrities that had their houses burned down. Some of them are starting to sound like a cross between Adam Corolla and Victor Davis Hansen.
Like most things thrown at Trump, I expect these latest shenanigans to backfire bigly and only hasten the demise of the globalist blob.
The next few years will be rough for sure, but I would not discount the resilience of the American people once they have been unleashed.
The Capitalists funded the Communists. Communism is one of the fighting arms of Capitalism. Baron Rothschild and Trotsky (real name Lev Bronstein) used to meet at a cafe for brunch and chess.
That's not capitalism. Crony capitalism is not the same as free market capitalism which doesn't exist in America. Communism and capitalism are never the same.
You can't keep the two spheres separate in the modern industrial state. One will rule - and that one must be the public sphere or government.
Pure Communism doesn't exist and neither does pure Capitalism. They're unreal systems that can last a very short time at best under extreme conditions (like some elements). Time to grow up and put away childish things.
Hmm, "the capitalist funded . . ." "Rothschild and Bronstein," hmm. Makes you wonder what you forgot to mention. (My apologies to the host if this is beyond the pale.)
American resilience will be further tested when Hezbollah cells move to attack. They have been in the US since at least the 80"s. Building networks, training, enriching themselves with not only cash via small business profits, but gaining US citizenship through marriages to vulnerable US Citizens. 4 years later they can bring Islamic women to the US. Marry them and continue the out-breeding the native population. The Hezbollah cell structure is very complex. Right here in our towns and cities. The leadership live in big houses, drive well, wear well and eat well. The lower class of Jihadis do the grunt work of small shop management. Stocking shelves, marrying into the culture. You walk and drive past them every day. This immigrant invasion is a civilization-altering slow rolling coup. America is deeply vulnerable. Every Jihadi assigned to the west can handle the weapons they came here to man. It is immaterial who occupies the Oval. The forces unleashed on the west are FAR bigger than even the USG. Congress and the entire law making establishment are deeply infiltrated and compromised, apart from a very few patriots. And they simply don't count. All of this remains outside the realm of voting so we can disabuse ourselves of the notion that the ballot box is a remedy, ever. All these Jihadi cells are waiting. Arm up. Soon enough it will be time for Bullets, Beans and Bandages.
Yes. And what did Joe do today 1/20/25? Gave border jumpers 18 free months - can not be deported! Certain countries listed. Ugh. It fits. 18 months people.
Of course. Dennis. Way to go!! You did it legally. The Jihadis do and will obtain full access to SNAP cards. Debit Cards and all social suppport including free medical for their wives babies. Licenses and permits to build and operate businesses. They are a protected class and get whatever they want and need. You should be so lucky. You cannot touch them. Outcome: when an invasion force who understands only violence makes its way this deep into an existing culture and will not assimilate but wants to dominate then deadly counterforce is required. Arm up.
Not talking Indians. They and the Sikhs generally are nonviolent. Replacement is a myth. What IS real is that Islamic Jihadis viz. Hezbollah, Hamas, Isis and AQ are here in quantity. They are killers. They don’t want your stuff. Will not fool with hostages. Just killers. Throw in the longstanding gangs, Cartels, a bunch of Chicom military aged males and we get a mix of death hell and destruction. Arm up.
I’m in a very rural old farmers neck of the Midwest and two small no toilet liquor stores have both been sold to mideastern men. Not East Indian but mideastern.
Get used to it. They own every business around me. Their business model, which includes slavery and zero labor costs, is superior to the white man's business model where he has to pay wages and taxes.
They have and play the long view just as the Chinese do. Their allegiance isn't to themselves but to their particular gene pool or race if you prefer. They view times in centuries and millennia. This reminds me of those cranks who believe in things such as the Pleiadian Starseed lunacy. Only they see time not at all.
Yes Islam operates on the long range view. They’re driven by ideology and tribal loyalties above all. They are the seed of Abraham by Ishmael. And Ishmael is a “wild ass of a man. His hand is against every man and every man’s hand is against his”. He does not inherit because his mother was an Egyptian slave woman. Issac does, as the son of the free woman, inherit the rights of primogeniture. Which ultimately leads to ruling over the entire world. Israel despite all we see in the news cycle remains God’s Chosen. None of that is within man’s control.
Israelis despite all we see in the news cycle are a bunch of ethnosupremacists who wrote their old book declaring that they are God’s Chosen ones. Self appointed. LOL
Failing to ever prove that "God" exists, let alone wrote their old book, means that their claim is not worth toilet paper.
Ah Dennis. You Atheists never change. You guys can’t get out of your own way. Come back to the conversation when you encounter the living God yourself. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. God loves those requests. Hopefully sooner than later. Blessings.
Yes, view the strength of a People, the seed of real nations. Americans have lost that to the extent they ever had it. The only hope America ever had was to limit immigration to Whites alone. And even that wasn't easy.
I think we've been seeing the manifestation of this in most of the major European cities. The US needs to re-introduce a society based on law and order, moral principles, and respect for our country and its constitution. Call in Pollyannish, but what are the alternatives? I believe DJT is key to ushering in a 4th Turning in America and it can't come soon enough.
Ezin. The Donald is compromised and owes his entire career to Israel. They hold every important position he needs to do anything. This is not going to turn out well. He’s forecasting his every move and he’s being blocked even before he gets to the Oval. If he gets there.
Deana. Aren’t you precious. Apparently you are part of the legions of BoobusAmericanus. A victim of the highest form of warfare: information influence operation. You believe only what you can see. But thanks for your deeply flawed response.
Both Parties want America to be transformed. Those who think Trump is different are ignoring the fact that he's for a massive Indian influx. America is a Corporation that is being restructured. For Whites, nothing whatsoever. Both Parties agree on that too.
Any person who, even thought for a second that they might want to go to America is as American as any person whose family has been here since Jamestown. That is the essence of what it means to be an American.
Nay, more American since immigration is the essence of being American. The longer you've been here, the less American you are. To be American is not to be American, you see. You do, I trust.
rd3. Psssst. Lugh is a troll ignore him. Seen him many time on other threads. He’s a pissant. Don’t waste your time. If he had half a brain he’d be dangerous. Instead he’s just a nuisance so blow him off.
And it certainly did not help that so many experienced firefighters had either retired or were fired over the clotshot mandates. And how many who took the jabs then became debilitated by adverse reactions, or "died suddenly"?
I am well connected and familiar with the people in the entertainment industry in California having worked with them and among them for decades. Hell, my business partner is up for his 2nd Grammy nomination this year. My Facebook feed is full of people I know photographing their homes as the fires approach. After all, there is no such thing as bad publicity.
In so far as I can tell, this is somehow Trump's fault. They don't know how and they don't know why but Trump must have done something at some time to have caused this. If you think I'm being facetious, I'm not.
Mayor Karen could go door to door with a flamethrower burning houses to the ground and these people would re-elect her. The fire chief could have lead a gay pride parade up and down their street while their homes burned and they'd fight you tooth & nail for her to keep her job.
You forget that these are the same people who would castrate their own children to make a political statement. These are the same people who offer up their children to the likes of Biden and Diddy to advance their careers. Do you think for a moment that burning their homes down makes a bit of difference? It doesn't.
I'm not in SoCal but in Portland Oregon so basically surrounded by the same type and I just have to concur with your analysis.
I don't think people really understand the twisted logic and lack of reason these folks display is a permanent feature. It's more cultish than political.
Do you remember the story of the ice skating rink in Central Park that was totally mis-managed by the city. Trump bailed them out in record time and under budget.
If I was a homeowner in LA right now I would be thanking God that Trump will be the head man in charge of the recovery, rather that the Blues of California or worse, the Biden Mob.
I live in the purple part of the east coast. Working in the deep blue dumb dems and mingling at the commie dem NJ shore. You are spot on. Brainwashed people that pooh-poo all facts presented. Their hubris and deep belief that they will be untouched by dangerous policies because they can afford to do whatever they want.
THANK YOU. I also know this, having lived in LA and worked in the business. They will absolutely vote for the same policies and people who did this. Guaranteed.
Yes, I heard that, too, that it's Trump's fault, and we really shouldn't be surprised at this, should we? I expected them to blame Trump. They'll blame for all of their policy failures. They're forever blinded by their ideology.
The important thing is the Los Angeles Fire Department's DEI/LBGQT goals have been met for the quarter. Also, sure the Mayor was in Ghana when this disaster erupted, but for her it was a sacred journey to the Motherland ... so it's perfectly understandable and forgiveable.
Who or what started the fires? Well, in SoCal vagrants set aboutt 1000 fires per yeaer. As well, wild fires a few years ago in Central California were ignited by 3 different college professors out to wake people up to the threats of Climate Change. They were arrested but there's plenty more Climate lunatics where they came from. Start looking for the arsonists in those two distinguished groups of people.
You know what Marcus Garvey saw (and didn't see) when he visited NAACP headquarters... Have you seen the photographs of the "instruction" going on at the Highlander Folk School before and during the "civil rights" movement?
Putin is an immortal, a Highlander, but he is no where to be seen in such photos. A photo of him is seen from WW1 though.
Garvey was a good man. Back to Africa is the answer. At a talk to Blacks. Jared Taylor said this, adding "Build Wakanda". Tepid applause. They know it's not in them.
I read that the Los Angeles Fire Department Chief is a woman. The Mayor is a woman. Whenever women run the show DEI/LGBTQ garbage takes precedent. Always. Sorry, but its true. Women should have no place running a fire department or a City. They are too worried about hurting peoples' feelings or catering to the pathetic or helping everyone or solving everyone's problems. It's just the way they are.
Yep. Sure do. Look at what's happening in Los Angeles. Female fire Chief. Female Mayor. How about Muriel Bowser. Lori Lightfoot. London Breed. Who was that female DA in Baltimore that got busted and had to resign. The list goes on.
If you think the woke CA government and all its foot soldiers are phased by the current fire and brimstone, wait till they see the final show. It will be a Revelation!
The people in East Palestine appear forgotten. Their housing values (their middle class nest egg) such as they were, completely destroyed. Apparently the situation was assisted by poor management decisions.
Ditto NC.
Appears to be an emerging pattern around the country.
My kids house burned down in the Palisades. They are homeless now. This piece and Corolla nail it. Thank you for posting this. I’m sending it to lots of people. And Hi, Jim!
"The adumbrations of this fiasco will darken our national life for years to come."
I really, really doubt it.
What about the effect the LA Riots in 1965, from August 11 to August 16 in Watts? I was 11-years-old watching the TV with my father. Scared the crap out me. Except that the city I was living just outside of, Philadelphia, was rioting, too. American cities were rioting all over back then.
What effect did those riots have on the national psyche? None.
What about the LA Rodney King riots in 1992? LA has been rioting for decades. Nothing gets any better, just way, way worse.
The fires should be a relief. Burn it all down. Get rid of the evidence. Start over. Just like in Hawaii. Use the fire for another land grab.
These LA fires were set by arsonists, just months after LA Insurance Companies cancelled tens of thousands of insurance policies to people whose homes just burned to the ground. Sound familiar? And, there was no water in the fire hydrants to combat the fires with "because of government incompetence?" Again, sound familiar? OMG.
"Taxes are the price you pay for civilization." Had enough of both, yet? I know: Let's send more billions of American Taxpayer money to Ukrainian Nazis.
A healthcare system CEO getting shot in the head several times wasn't message enough? How about when insurance company CEOs start getting bumped off? Enough then?
National insurance companies requested rate increases to offset the costs of previous wildfires throughout the state. They were refused by the Mob in Sacramento. So they cut all the California home owners off. Insurance is NOT a bottomless pit of money, like the Blues think they are. Just like the Federal government. Blues are going to be the death of America.
The no water in the hydrants is a problem with no simple solution.. You can only get so much water through a pipe. I don't know the size of the mains in the Palisades but if you open up too many outlets obviously the pressure will continue to drop. We have hydrants in my town that are known to be no good. Small mains and sediment build up. You can't get much water out of them. Eventually there will be zero pressure, perhaps even negative pressure if engines are pulling too much. Being hilly terrain there will be much better pressure at lower elevations. I saw a guy on TV saying when he evacuated he put his sprinklers on the roof turned on the water and left. How many others did this?
Right now, we are living in a world where sometimes there just isn't enough fire in California.
It's like how there are too many coffee drinkers. There just isn't enough land or climate to grow enough coffee beans. For coffee they are talking about substitutes. At prices that are already unaffordable in a world run on debt, AKA "Spare No Expense."
In the 1980s over 30-percent of the food was processed. Artificial. Substitutes. Like McCormick's gravy packets. That figure as grow to over 70-percent today. So has the number of obese people. And Type II Diabetes. There just isn't enough real food to feed 8-billion people. Meanwhile, anything in a bag or box will kill you. And look at the prices you pay for food today. Look at the prices you pay for house and homeowner's insurance -- not just in California.
Is there a substitute for water? Is there a substitute for fire? Meanwhile anything combustible (like houses) will kill you in a fire. And look at the price you pay for insurance -- if you can get it.
Someday all this stops, like when California Insurance Companies cancelled the homeowner's insurance for tens of thousands of "insureds," just 3-months before the fires -- probably all set by insurance arsonists. Like in Hawaii.
Your house, your car, your bank, your homeowner's insurance policy, your grocery store are all fires waiting to happen.
Be a great time for a meme campaign. Would you rather DC get nuked by Russia or get drafted to fight them. I bet the answers would scare the elites even more than the support for Luigi did.
The wildfires were not caused due to incompetence, but rather “on purpose malice” posing as incompetence, and they are likely being started with DARPA directed energy weapons (a certain shade of blue is a shield) and Antifa posing as firemen, just as in 2020:

All of this destruction is geared toward maximizing pain and death, while destroying economic, social, physical, and mental productive capital on a vast scale. All designed to lead directly to global dependence-based enslavement where you will eat ze bugs and own nothing and be happy about it - or else.
In other words, their goal is to demolish our ability to sustain ourselves, transforming us into slaves reliant on their "generosity" for our survival and they’re reaching a level of control where Harari feels confident telling us that our Free Will is over while contemplating killing us outright out loud in public:
“Mr. Harari, thinking about all this, puts it this way: “Utopia and dystopia depends on your values.” … The useless class he describes is uniquely vulnerable. “If a century ago you mounted a revolution against exploitation, you knew that when bad comes to worse, they can’t shoot all of us because they need us,” he said, citing army service and factory work.
Now it is becoming less clear why the ruling elite would not just kill the new useless class. “You’re totally expendable,” he told the audience. … “We don’t need you. But we are nice, so we’ll take care of you.” —Source (worth reading in full): https://archive.is/rWLoO

I hate to like this comment but there’s truths in these assertions that can’t be ignored. So like it is.They really do hate us enough to create internal warscapes to take us down.
Yes.
Add the California insurance companies who "just happened" to cancel the insurance policies of tens of thousands of California insureds, just months before insurance arsonists struck and burned their houses down. No there's a list to behold and wonder at.
And don't leave out the California professional politicians from the list, those who made sure there would be no water in the fire hydrants to fight the fires with. Fires they made inevitable due to "gross incompetence." Like those "words" mean anything anymore.
Due to the losses from wildfires over the years, State Farm and Allstate asked for rate increases on Home-owners insurance and were refused by, you guessed it, Newsom and the Sacramento Mafia. So they cancelled the availability of the insurance. It is not only in LA either. I would guess we have seen just the start.
Actually, having worked and lived in California for many years, it was the professional politicians who "cancelled" the affordability of houses and homeowner's insurance.
A new roof runs $30,000.00. A new septic system costs around $30,000.00. The average MSRP for a new car is now $4,800.00 -- up another $1,000 in one year. I haven't got that kind of money just lying around. Most people I know don't. Pay off your mortgage and you find out how much of your "home" our really own. Try not paying your ever-increasing property taxes (now going up almost annually here in Upstate New York, where the government is desperate for money) and see how long you "own" your house for.
Financialization will be the death of housing. Yet, for Californians, fire is free.
That's why people are supposed to understand that they put money aside for repairs. Insurance is inflating the prices. The roofers can now charge more because "insurance" pays.
Interesting insight. Like medicine. Lewis Mumford argued against Insurance in principle generations ago, saying it was anti-life. Apparently he was on to something.
Nope, insurance is not inflating prices. It's not hard to understand. Insurance covers risk of covering replacement cost - houses, cars, etc.
Inflation has caused the prices of all materials to go up --> replacement cost is up. A house used to cost $100/SF to build, now it costs $300/SF.
So, yeah - lose a roof and now it costs $30K to replace it, not $10K, so what do you think happens with insurance premiums?
Being the World's Policeman, aiding, abetting, financing the murder of other people's of the world, have the World's Globalists controlling installed idiots like Biden obediently opening the U.S. borders has a cost.
Arsonists in the U.S. are costing hundreds of $Billions. Any connection?

Very interesting 🤨

While a reasonable question exists concerning DEW in Hawaii with nothing blue turning to cinders, I think this was plain old do-gooder incompetence, the annual wind fest, and undoubtedly fire bug arsonists of the mentally ill and criminal persuasions.
It is remarkable that we are seeing total destruction of the wealthiest and most scenic places in the country.
We ARE seeing it. Try driving I-40 from Knoxville to Asheville.
If there is ANYTHING positive going on in the world besides the re-election of DJT, it's the fact that Hollywood has run out of ideas and its fabulously wealthy pedophiles and gays will soon be as popular as hand-held transistor radios and Fatty Arbuckle.
Hand-held transistor radios served their purpose, and quite well, for a time. I got one for Christmas when I was 10-years-old in 1963, and it was a big deal. I look back warmly and fondly at transistor radios. Not so much Fatty Arbuckle. Fatty Arbuckle is like all celebrities: American crap.
I just got through re-watching the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice. I was stunned with horror at Keira Knightly's teeth. What choppers. Those were maneater teeth. And I had to ask: "What was that all about? Why was she so important?"
However, I discovered that Kelly Reilly played an amazing part in the movie as Lady Catherine Bigley. Wonderful portrayal. However, Reilly is positively unrecognizable from the Kelly Reilly playing Beth Dutton in "Yellowstone." Must be all those tits and ass she shows off so prominently. Nothing like jumping the shark to kill a career. She too will be forgotten in a few years.
Yes, we're chimps. In some cultures, big smiles are considered offensive. I thought she was incredibly beautiful in that movie. I'm a chimp of this culture I guess.
Note: Don't date any American Indian chicks. Their teeth are huger.
Keira Knightly is pure perfection.
Is that before or after she got her teeth fixed? She did BTW. It did not improve her appearance. That was what broke my heart. Not her man-eating choppers that seemed to hurt her face whenever she smiled broadly., and made me want to shove a McDonalds "Happy Meal" at her. Just one last thing. The 2005 version of "Pride and Prejudice" is my favorite. My preferring it to the other versions is not diminished at all by Keira Knightly. She is a perfectly adequate period actress.

LOTS of evidence this was planned: insurance cancelled for all homeowners with State Farm insurance in Pacific Palisades; absolutely NO water in fire hydrants in Pacific Palisades and in Hollywood. They're trying to tell us this was brush fire, but this is L.A. a HUGE city and no brush or very little in Pacific Palisades - if this was started by a brush fire, then why are the TREES STILL GREEN AND STANDING UNTOUCHED WHILE LAWNS ARE STILL BRIGHT GREEN BUT JUST HE HOMES ARE BURNED DOWN??? I grew up in L.A. in Hollywood Hills and also close to Pacific Palisades, this whole thing was coordinated. Then there's this:
One billionaire couple owns almost ALL water in Calif:
https://perfectunion.us/how-this-billionaire-couple-stole-californias-water-supply/
thanks for this E Grogan, i'm writing an article on it now.
The unburnt green trees stood out to me as well. It seems that the fire went so fast it didn’t slow down to burn living trees that contain water. But why are the leaves still green??? Weird.
There are no "coincidences." Everything happens for a purpose.
Yes, there are guys in uniforms in orbit or beneath the Earth choreographing every accident, hell, every single event no matter how small. I broke a bottle of wine last night? Nope. They did.
Yeah, sometimes that purpose is being dumb and making poor decisions.
"Do-gooder." Is that code for DEI?
IT's the low density properties on the fringe that catch fire from grass, then it spreads to the traditional town. Then high density fuels it. Preventing rural sprawl is the answer.
Incompetence + arsonists = disaster. The incompetence of California’s “law enforcement” is an accelerant.
Not remarkable at all. Socal has been arsoned for nearly a decade now!
When if ever do we start fighting back?
When do we start carrying in our car a gun or rifle to deal with firestarters?
When do we stop being passive victims?
Its not called hate.
Simple herd managememt is all
Brings to mind statements made by LBJ, "He who controls the weather, controls the world!" and Kissinger, "If you control the food, you control a nation. If you control the energy, you control a region. If you control the money, you control the world." This has been planned for a long time.
How much of the constant chemical spraying in the skies contributed to spreading the fire - acting like an accelerant?https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/#
Yes. Not to go too far down the rabbit hole, but there were reports of aluminum chaff-like conductors being carried over L.A. by the Santa Ana Winds. Air Traffic Control reported blips on their radar screens which showed four of the major fires igniting over a wide area at the exact same moment. These blips looked shockingly similar to the ones observed in the Maui fires. (now nicknamed the "Oprah-Maui-Wowie" Lightning Bolts)
Agreed, TriTorch. The end game most likely is a land grab for the SmartLA2028 agenda & the Olympics 2028. This is the planned demolition of the United States of America.

Crap like this takes the blame off the woke politicians. Just Stop.
Those woke clueless politicians were installed so that when things like this happen they will get the blame rather than the globalists installing them and setting the woke policies. You have it backwards. It's deliberate demolition and it's all on purpose:
https://simulationcommander.substack.com/p/why-all-these-brands-ab-inbev-target
Exactly.
Or as the "Fire Commander" in British Columbia told me as he stood back and watched the small fire run out of control up the mountain behind our home, "If it burns once, it can't burn again."
The out-of-control fires ARE Government Policy abetted by using incompetent, aggrandizing Politicians and Government Unions.
The color blue was noted in the standing buildings after the Maui fire. It just so happened that these particular buildings all had one thing in common - cement board siding and tile roofs.
There was one photo on X showing a single building left standing, it was all brown with a tile roof. So what frequency is brown???
The ruined houses of the Palissades looked eerily consistent. To some extent likely due to the grid system but drone’s eye view showed the physical ruins looking almost identical.
"We'll take care of you" - is that a threat? Read Jack London's "The Iron Heel". He never dreamed of this. They still needed workers in his dystopia.

The real de-lousing chambers are colored Prussian Blue from the cyanide gas. The gas chambers for humans are not. It's a mystery. Of course some may have been built after the war for tourists, so no mystery there. But the others?
Also check out the wiki on Prussian Blue. Prussian Blue is a color that has been used by artists for centuries. Also it is a medicine (what is the medium though? Pieces of powdered brick?) for leaching heavy metals out of the body.
Revolutionary Karen Bass may have been involved in the planning... no proof... but... is this not what revolutionaries do?

Lots of very well to do folks live in these areas being torched. They have voted 90% for Blues over the years? So who are the bad guys? Reds? Trumpers? Who has it in for a bunch of lily-livered Leftists? Probably to undo their lives and their lifestyles? All of the fire origins are in well to do areas. I wonder who are the Have-Nots that are attacking the pre-eminent Haves in LA? Or which foreign nationals are trying to destroy the wealth of a very rich area? Is this domestic or global? Global or directed from a power 6000 miles to the West?
Or is it being lit from natural causes? Lit in wooded, expensive areas some long distances away from current fires? Lit where they cause the most damage? Lit while the Santa Ana winds were forecast to be blowing hard and were?
Newsom is an idiot! If only one good thing comes from this, his political demise will be it. The watering down of local talent, the mayor and fire chief are so-o-o DEI it is unbelievable. The mayor is being ripped apart by the media, Outstanding, she deserves every bit of it. Hopefully, recalls being funded by the “New Reds” in LA will get ridof these Blue incompetents. If San Francisco realizes that they may be next, they will recall Newsome.
Then there is Biden, listening to a briefing on the catastrophe at hand and all he can say is that it is an important day because he has a great grand daughter, no son. All you Trump voters out there, congrats on picking the self absorbed-crook.
People are still electing Black women as mayors. When will they learn?

80% of the P Diddy evidence was just reduced to ash. A week or two before that, the internet changed so that it's, "history" function is turned off so that nothing previously posted or searched for can be authoritatively connected to a time or person (in the code behind the interface - which is what cops and journalists use to verify time, date, etc.) These things all go together. The Satanist pedophiles are buckling down and covering their asses.
Except the Grand altar of sacrifice, Getty Museum with all of the tunnels under it, is still standing. Hmmm
proof?
"If only one good thing comes from this, his political demise will be it."
He won't take the fall for this. You know it as well as I do. Democrats never take the fall for their incompetence. Look at the ridiculous asshole people in L.A. elected as their Mayor. Newsom is handsome, has great hair and a great smile. Women especially will continue to vote for this charlatan. So a few neighborhoods in L.A. burn up. So what. The state has nearly 40 million people who will continue to vote for that handsome bozo.
What it means is we're beyond democracy now. Even the rich Hollywood crowd or Democrat voters don't matter anymore. The bus must be about to arrive to its destination.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes! California residents are now realizing that their choice to support the repressive/progressive Democratic Party is not without personal risk. Mayor Bass and the equally clueless Governor have combined their efforts to set up California for this current disaster. Every California voter must vote red as if his/her life depends on it, because it does. Continue to support Democratic simpletons and you will continue to win stupid prizes.
Of the few rules here, one is: no stupid political puns. E.g., "Mayor DumBass"
It degrades the conversation. Childish. Don't do it.
Jim, I promote you to all my friends and family. I tell them you are Hunter Thompson with all the wit and none of the drugs. I tell them that are bright hopeful light in a sea of despair and black tar darkness. You routinely condemn these mischief makers as felons and murderers, which of course they are. Do you really think a few well deserved "puns" from your loyal readers deserve such scorn from the man himself? I would hope you could let such things slide, at least a little. Why bite the hands that feed?
Also: 1. Autocorrect stole my 2nd person noun "you" from a sentence above, "...you are a bright hopeful...."
2. Having personal rules for commenters, no matter how sensible, is a form of censorship. Yes, it's your blog, and you cry if you want to. However, as you might say, it's a "bad look".
3. Are we ever allowed to criticize Israel here? Tucker let Jeffery Sachs do it for almost a whole hour? What's your policy?
Requiring that commenters not use a childish pun is a form of censorship? Personally, I prefer the lack of stupid puns because often I don't know to what the pun is referring. I'd rather have the name of the individual so I know exactly to whom the writer is referring. From my part, I appreciate this "rule." It makes the comments more concise and understandable.
Just my opinion.

If you must, maybe use such terms along the lines of 'The Golden Golem Of Greatness' or "JB" (that's with the quotes); mention how Kunstler sounds a bit like cluster (phonetic anagram with a dropped n?), and how Clusterfuck (Nation) is a bit of a portmanteau but doesn't 'degrade the conversation' because it's only a title and so not within the body of the conversation and in any case is designed by the owner of the blog.
Oh, and change your nickname to a 'stupid pun' so it's 'outside of the conversation'. Stuff like that.

Who was it that reverently lifted up a tress of a blonde girl's hair and said, This is what we are fighting for? Was it Herr Hess? Commander Rockwell? Or am I remembering the future again?
I think you are remembering the future. I once read an anecdote that a Southern soldier, before he left for the war, saw some ladies walking down the street of Charleston, SC and remarked to his company that that is what we are fighting for.
Gotcha. My bad.
Never voted for a Democrat...ever.
Their agenda has always seemed hairbrained and retarded.
Wish more of them would flee California millions of Conservatives still live in this state in which the government is not a reflection of anything we support or believe in.
Actually you can keep them. Please.
Fleeing "Californians" are a blight on the Northwest and places like Texas.
Their feeble attempts to disguise where they're from always fail because they have special kind of obnoxiousness they can't help reveal.
California refugees are destroying the intermountain west. Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Montana, Idaho and Wyoming now have incredibly high housing costs because of Californians bringing their wealth and driving up the bidding wars. Even Californians who have moved into my neighborhood of late, upon introduction, apologize for being from California.
I wish my state could have an immigration policy to keep Californians out.
N.AZ here. The CA refugees are like a swarm of locusts, or a metastasizing cancer…take your pick. Our rural, ranching community had its few leftists hiding in the closet for generations. Since the mass CA migration, there are enough of these people to organize into a formal group, which sponsors BLM and queer rallies on our town square. Mind you, in a county that votes 77% GOP.
They know it sickens us, so they continue. Please don’t come to AZ.
They are much, much better at politics than we are. Far more passionate and organized. They hated us and realized they were at war with us generations ago. We only realized a few years ago for the most part. Every illegal alien is a reinforcement for them. Every liberal arts degree student is a recruit.
I was born in AZ. It breaks my heart to watch what is happening to that once great state.
Cankerpuss, don't we know it, the state of the great Barry Goldwater now has TWO democrat US Senators (Gallego is a commie cartel stooge), a democrat Governor who literally ran from the press and refused to debate, and a democrat Sec. of State who wanted to indict TRUMP in AZ. We are now considered America's ground zero for election fraud and corruption. It was/is so blatantly obvious that we residents are in utter shock that the courts didn't give us a fair shake to demonstrate this.
AZ politics are likely being run by the drug cartels. We hope that TRUMP kicks their asses so bad that their influence in AZ will be drastically reduced. If I were TRUMP, I'd invade Mexico and bomb the shit out of every last cartel lab, distribution point and command post.
They tried this in a small WV town near me. The VFW spilled out onto the street and the Pagan 1%ers surrounded them and told them in no uncertain terms to leave and never come back.
rd3: the leftists staged a George Floyd BLM rally on our square and recruited sheeple students from the only liberal arts college in town - a place we all loath having in our midst.
Determined that these bastards were NOT going to set fire to our historic western downtown, armed citizens came out in force and covered the entire square. Must have been 500+ citizens out there, mostly open carry and some concealed - to send a message that WE will not tolerate any bullshit - like the infernos that leftists started in other places. Some citizens even posted up from sniper positions on rooftops - Rodney King/Koreatown style! Our local police were cheerful and engaged the armed citizens in small talk - they actually seemed pleased that we were there to help protect our town. This was such a show of citizen resolve that commie CBS actually sent a crew here and it made national news - in a negative light, of course.
The story goes (via police rumors) that Antifa in Phoenix had a bus load of agitators enroute to our town, with no good intentions in mind. They got the word from one of their observers to turn around NOW, unless they wanted to return to momma in body bags. They never showed up. Is there any truth to the story? I cant confirm - but in the end...does it really matter?
Oregon Governor T Lawson McCall had a sign at the border welcoming visitors and describing all the wonders to see in Oregon. Followed by the admonishment to ". . . and then go home." We called it "Don't Californicate Oregon." In the late '60's.
Apparently that didn't work.
Nashville also.

Maybe those directly impacted by the fire are realizing their poor choices but California has a population of nearly 40 million people. I guarantee all those idiots directly unaffected by this fire are still 100% behind their Democratic tribe.
Truth. Never underestimate the stupidity of humanity.
As in any tort case, “Contributory Negligence “ by the aggrieved victims negates their claims. By voting for the Democrats the majority of these folks put in place DEI politicians incapable of management of anything much less a major regional government like LA.
Contrast with Florida with strict Miami-Dade building codes state wide. California under mismanagement is the self made disaster. No wonder many insurance companies pulled out starting ten years ago. I feel sorry for the 50 percent who are conservative and are about to lose everything with no where to go. The elites will flee to Canada.
Don't forget to mention that hundreds of firefighting resources were fired for not taking the gene therapy treatment...
Government is force and always fails because there is no oversight.
Yes!!!!! Government is uncontrolled evil!!!
Right. Make everything private. That's what the Elite are trying to do. John, you serve them faithfully if unwittingly.
FEMA is turfing 3500 families out of hotels as we speak, as a state-wide winter storm is bearing down on us in NC. Meanwhile Biden has already offered (or sent?!) money to LA. Forgive me if my sympathy is limited at the moment. I lived in Orange County for 4 long years after college and even in the '80s hated it. I don't wish this devastation on anyone, but voting has consequences.
Two independent companies have stepped up and paid for 3 weeks in hotels. And by the way , Biden just sent $500 MILLION more to Ukraine. Thank God for all the wonderful people who have shown up with donated RVs, Tiny houses, campers, heaters, basic survival supplies. Proud to live here.
And we still have over 420 people missing since Helene. Efforts are being made to locate and identify every one of them. It may be years, but every family needs to know. Proud to be in NC
We sent modest checks...to Greg Biffle (for chopper fuel) and Shower Up.
We were floored by the handwritten Thank You from the Biffles.
Maybe the displaced residents of LA and Pacific Palisades and Malibu will get $800/household, adjusted for inflation, if they qualify.
Actually I believe the sum sent to Ukraine this week is closer to $1billion.
Money means nothing to the 3rd Obama administration. If any is left over after the California millionaires get government assistance, the Republicans in North Carolina will still be suffering.
I'm only hoping the extreme heat of the LA fires weakens the connection of California to the rest of the USA and that worthless desert floats out to sea and sinks.
I love that, the 3rd Obama administration.
There is no question: Obama has been the president for the past four years. The old dimwit who occasionally occupies the White House is a gangster, a fool, and a traitor.
BRH,
You could have a pretty good weekend in Reno with a Billion dollars....
E. Just by chance an acquaintance took a side trip to Reno: she reports Reno appears down at the mouth with rows of empty storefronts, closed businesses, and plenty of homeless people in the streets.
BRH,
Yeah, put a fork in it.
Well done, and done well....
There's nowhere like Renowhere
The bars don't close, The cops don't care
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qPpIVzPN9w
Good cops know when not to care? Like the one who walked past a woman on fire in NY subway system without trying to do anything. Anyone riding that can't be important.
John Rocker was perceptive enough to recognize that 25 years ago...
RD,
You seem familiar with Reno...were you there during the golden days of the70' and 80's before Indian Casinos and the computers changed it for the worse? Much worse.
Sadly, no. I was there in the late 90's and early 2000's and haven't been back since 2005 or so.
RD,
Computers released the casinos from relying on offering benefits to get people in the door. 99cent breakfasts, $4.95 one pound new york steak dinners...prime rib anywhere for $6.00...pouring 99 cent well drinks from a Tanqueray bottle opened in front of you.
Now facial recognition and player cards weed out the dead-beats.
The sum sent to Ukraine was ∞
We live in Western North Carolina and have lived with a post-disaster nightmare now for over three months and to be honest, I wish everything had burned up instead of gotten buried in toxic mud and debris. Our communities will never be the same and it is especially heartbreaking that people are still living in tents along the Swannanoa River in 20° weather, with a winter snowstorm barreling straight for us. I'm sorry for the posh people in Pacific Palisades who lost their homes, but at least they were able to go to the Beverly Hills Hotel or some other nice hotel and get ready accommodations. The people of Western North Carolina have been all but forgotten and FEMA is doing very little. The most the FEMA will reimburse a single person for damages is $42,000 so I hope that the folks in California aren't expecting their fancy beach homes to be replaced. At least they don't have to witness one of their dead neighbors being fed on by bears or climb over 50 high banks of debris entangled with dead bodies. Small blessings I suppose.
The folks in LA have not seen any FEMA or National Guard folks as of last night. I was thinking too, that when these folks look to find lodging during these first days and weeks, they are going to find loads of competition from all the illegals the Newsom Mob are paying for.
Immigration is the essence of America. They are more American than we are. Infinite potential! No place to go but up. Bootstraps! Cheap labor.
They'll keep the illegals in the hotels and make the citizens scramble for housing on their own. Remember that democrats live by ideology, and their ideology dictates that illegals are more needy than citizens, no matter the circumstances.
Finally, the Wokesters' luxury beliefs have come home to roost.
Well, they'll never realize it.
One can hypothesize about whether the current rash of disasters and disastrous responses thereto are intentional. One can also wonder at the absurd profligacy of the waning days of the Biden administration, with money, regulations and preemptive pardons.
All these may likely be calculated to damage or at least hamstring the second Trump administration. But what will the actual effect be? Remember, they tried to kill the man and he immediately turned it into an iconic image.
I’ve watched some interviews and read some press from those celebrities that had their houses burned down. Some of them are starting to sound like a cross between Adam Corolla and Victor Davis Hansen.
Like most things thrown at Trump, I expect these latest shenanigans to backfire bigly and only hasten the demise of the globalist blob.
The next few years will be rough for sure, but I would not discount the resilience of the American people once they have been unleashed.
Push back the communists from where they sprang from. Then the focus must be fully exposing globalist plans to destroy humanity.
The Capitalists funded the Communists. Communism is one of the fighting arms of Capitalism. Baron Rothschild and Trotsky (real name Lev Bronstein) used to meet at a cafe for brunch and chess.
That's not capitalism. Crony capitalism is not the same as free market capitalism which doesn't exist in America. Communism and capitalism are never the same.
You can't keep the two spheres separate in the modern industrial state. One will rule - and that one must be the public sphere or government.
Pure Communism doesn't exist and neither does pure Capitalism. They're unreal systems that can last a very short time at best under extreme conditions (like some elements). Time to grow up and put away childish things.

Yes, take your own advice
Every Libertarian is red faced two year old screaming, No! Do it myself!
Hmm, "the capitalist funded . . ." "Rothschild and Bronstein," hmm. Makes you wonder what you forgot to mention. (My apologies to the host if this is beyond the pale.)
American resilience will be further tested when Hezbollah cells move to attack. They have been in the US since at least the 80"s. Building networks, training, enriching themselves with not only cash via small business profits, but gaining US citizenship through marriages to vulnerable US Citizens. 4 years later they can bring Islamic women to the US. Marry them and continue the out-breeding the native population. The Hezbollah cell structure is very complex. Right here in our towns and cities. The leadership live in big houses, drive well, wear well and eat well. The lower class of Jihadis do the grunt work of small shop management. Stocking shelves, marrying into the culture. You walk and drive past them every day. This immigrant invasion is a civilization-altering slow rolling coup. America is deeply vulnerable. Every Jihadi assigned to the west can handle the weapons they came here to man. It is immaterial who occupies the Oval. The forces unleashed on the west are FAR bigger than even the USG. Congress and the entire law making establishment are deeply infiltrated and compromised, apart from a very few patriots. And they simply don't count. All of this remains outside the realm of voting so we can disabuse ourselves of the notion that the ballot box is a remedy, ever. All these Jihadi cells are waiting. Arm up. Soon enough it will be time for Bullets, Beans and Bandages.
Your comment scares the hell out of me. I hope you are wrong.
William is wrong, hysterical and paranoid.
Don't talk to Herr Voelz like that. He's one of the few good Protestants.
Gees. Dennis. Didn’t we just go over this? Deep six your preconceptions and at least make a few cogent points. Don’t waste our time here.
What preconceptions do I have as opposed to your preconceptions, Willam?
You believe in the Bible and don't have any preconceptions! Yeah right! GMAFB
You would not know a cogent point if it bit your ass, my friend!
Well thanks, friend. Let’s call it a draw. I’m willing.
Cank. No time to waste.
Male bovine excrement, Bill.
Yes. And what did Joe do today 1/20/25? Gave border jumpers 18 free months - can not be deported! Certain countries listed. Ugh. It fits. 18 months people.
You can't gain US citizenship through marriage, William.
This Kiwi married a wonderful California gal who was visiting NZ in 1973.
Being married to Yank meant nothing. It took me 18-months just to get a Green Card.
And we could not move to the US until I got that.
And I was a Registered Civil Engineer with plenty of savings
Then I had to wait the 5-years residing in the US to take my citizen exam.
An exam that half the Americans in our Engineering Office admitted they would have failed.
Of course. Dennis. Way to go!! You did it legally. The Jihadis do and will obtain full access to SNAP cards. Debit Cards and all social suppport including free medical for their wives babies. Licenses and permits to build and operate businesses. They are a protected class and get whatever they want and need. You should be so lucky. You cannot touch them. Outcome: when an invasion force who understands only violence makes its way this deep into an existing culture and will not assimilate but wants to dominate then deadly counterforce is required. Arm up.
Yeah as long as it's legal. Trump's millions of Indians are no threat at all. They are just like us. We are being replaced by ourselves.
Not talking Indians. They and the Sikhs generally are nonviolent. Replacement is a myth. What IS real is that Islamic Jihadis viz. Hezbollah, Hamas, Isis and AQ are here in quantity. They are killers. They don’t want your stuff. Will not fool with hostages. Just killers. Throw in the longstanding gangs, Cartels, a bunch of Chicom military aged males and we get a mix of death hell and destruction. Arm up.
Takeing a wild guess, I'd bet you are caucasian. NZ is a first world country still right?
I’m in a very rural old farmers neck of the Midwest and two small no toilet liquor stores have both been sold to mideastern men. Not East Indian but mideastern.
This is occurring more and more. The rural areas of the nation are not immune to this infiltration. Thanks Miri.
Get used to it. They own every business around me. Their business model, which includes slavery and zero labor costs, is superior to the white man's business model where he has to pay wages and taxes.
Certainly is a variation on a theme. As a business model it’s days are limited but days are all they need.
'comparison shopping'
ever learn of SBA loans to 'minorities'? ever see indians at a 7-11?
No toilets? They can deal with that somehow, but how? Any idea? No modern White Man could deal with it.
No toilets? That didn't stop 1.4 billion Indians from shitting in the street.
Last time i was out in Yellowstone they had these on all the toilets. Some people need instructions to use a white-man toilet.

Now that's funny. I can testify that it's true. From as far back as '79.
Yup. I knew 'em. I'd ask, "what are these for?"
They'd look at each other slyly and say, "Waiting...we're just waiting," and say no more.
They have and play the long view just as the Chinese do. Their allegiance isn't to themselves but to their particular gene pool or race if you prefer. They view times in centuries and millennia. This reminds me of those cranks who believe in things such as the Pleiadian Starseed lunacy. Only they see time not at all.
Yes Islam operates on the long range view. They’re driven by ideology and tribal loyalties above all. They are the seed of Abraham by Ishmael. And Ishmael is a “wild ass of a man. His hand is against every man and every man’s hand is against his”. He does not inherit because his mother was an Egyptian slave woman. Issac does, as the son of the free woman, inherit the rights of primogeniture. Which ultimately leads to ruling over the entire world. Israel despite all we see in the news cycle remains God’s Chosen. None of that is within man’s control.
Israelis despite all we see in the news cycle are a bunch of ethnosupremacists who wrote their old book declaring that they are God’s Chosen ones. Self appointed. LOL
Failing to ever prove that "God" exists, let alone wrote their old book, means that their claim is not worth toilet paper.
Ah Dennis. You Atheists never change. You guys can’t get out of your own way. Come back to the conversation when you encounter the living God yourself. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. God loves those requests. Hopefully sooner than later. Blessings.
They ceased to be the chosen ones when they executed Jesus.
Synagogue of Satan, buddy. You're going to worship the Antichrist because you worship power.
Ask God about that. Take it up with Him. It’s His plan
Yes, view the strength of a People, the seed of real nations. Americans have lost that to the extent they ever had it. The only hope America ever had was to limit immigration to Whites alone. And even that wasn't easy.
Yup.
I think we've been seeing the manifestation of this in most of the major European cities. The US needs to re-introduce a society based on law and order, moral principles, and respect for our country and its constitution. Call in Pollyannish, but what are the alternatives? I believe DJT is key to ushering in a 4th Turning in America and it can't come soon enough.
Ezin. The Donald is compromised and owes his entire career to Israel. They hold every important position he needs to do anything. This is not going to turn out well. He’s forecasting his every move and he’s being blocked even before he gets to the Oval. If he gets there.
I'm placing my bet with the Donald
Go for it. Good luck.
Now you're talking. They are the real Enemy.
No, you are.
Propaganda.
Deana. Aren’t you precious. Apparently you are part of the legions of BoobusAmericanus. A victim of the highest form of warfare: information influence operation. You believe only what you can see. But thanks for your deeply flawed response.
Shiites, eh? Devils. Definitely not Sunnis. The Sunnis are our friends!
Both Parties want America to be transformed. Those who think Trump is different are ignoring the fact that he's for a massive Indian influx. America is a Corporation that is being restructured. For Whites, nothing whatsoever. Both Parties agree on that too.
So Lugh. What skin color do you see when you look in the mirror?
Trump is brining in millions of Indians. Room has to be made for them.
American people? You mean the Indians?
Any person who, even thought for a second that they might want to go to America is as American as any person whose family has been here since Jamestown. That is the essence of what it means to be an American.
Nay, more American since immigration is the essence of being American. The longer you've been here, the less American you are. To be American is not to be American, you see. You do, I trust.
Ah, yes. The America defined by that cunt Emma Lazarus.
rd3. Psssst. Lugh is a troll ignore him. Seen him many time on other threads. He’s a pissant. Don’t waste your time. If he had half a brain he’d be dangerous. Instead he’s just a nuisance so blow him off.
Smoke a pole
Good one.
And it certainly did not help that so many experienced firefighters had either retired or were fired over the clotshot mandates. And how many who took the jabs then became debilitated by adverse reactions, or "died suddenly"?
James, like almost all writers, never mention https://open.substack.com/pub/gbray/p/the-once-great-jon-rappaport?r=1d6qya&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true the spraying of our skies. The fires are deliberate
Obama actually talked about weather modification programs including "chemtrails" but that clip has been rabbit holed.
Someone has it. Bet it comes out soon
I’m a farmer. I watch the sky. It is real.
What is real?
The sky.
I think its usually nano particles of aluminum
I have heard JR speak and he lives or lived nearby..he is right..3rd world invasion is a huge problem.
I am well connected and familiar with the people in the entertainment industry in California having worked with them and among them for decades. Hell, my business partner is up for his 2nd Grammy nomination this year. My Facebook feed is full of people I know photographing their homes as the fires approach. After all, there is no such thing as bad publicity.
In so far as I can tell, this is somehow Trump's fault. They don't know how and they don't know why but Trump must have done something at some time to have caused this. If you think I'm being facetious, I'm not.
Mayor Karen could go door to door with a flamethrower burning houses to the ground and these people would re-elect her. The fire chief could have lead a gay pride parade up and down their street while their homes burned and they'd fight you tooth & nail for her to keep her job.
You forget that these are the same people who would castrate their own children to make a political statement. These are the same people who offer up their children to the likes of Biden and Diddy to advance their careers. Do you think for a moment that burning their homes down makes a bit of difference? It doesn't.
I'm not in SoCal but in Portland Oregon so basically surrounded by the same type and I just have to concur with your analysis.
I don't think people really understand the twisted logic and lack of reason these folks display is a permanent feature. It's more cultish than political.
Do you remember the story of the ice skating rink in Central Park that was totally mis-managed by the city. Trump bailed them out in record time and under budget.
If I was a homeowner in LA right now I would be thanking God that Trump will be the head man in charge of the recovery, rather that the Blues of California or worse, the Biden Mob.
Quite the insight into the sick and twisted minds of the hardcore left. Thank you.
I live in the purple part of the east coast. Working in the deep blue dumb dems and mingling at the commie dem NJ shore. You are spot on. Brainwashed people that pooh-poo all facts presented. Their hubris and deep belief that they will be untouched by dangerous policies because they can afford to do whatever they want.
please link us to yr fake book.
THANK YOU. I also know this, having lived in LA and worked in the business. They will absolutely vote for the same policies and people who did this. Guaranteed.
Yes, I heard that, too, that it's Trump's fault, and we really shouldn't be surprised at this, should we? I expected them to blame Trump. They'll blame for all of their policy failures. They're forever blinded by their ideology.
The important thing is the Los Angeles Fire Department's DEI/LBGQT goals have been met for the quarter. Also, sure the Mayor was in Ghana when this disaster erupted, but for her it was a sacred journey to the Motherland ... so it's perfectly understandable and forgiveable.
Who or what started the fires? Well, in SoCal vagrants set aboutt 1000 fires per yeaer. As well, wild fires a few years ago in Central California were ignited by 3 different college professors out to wake people up to the threats of Climate Change. They were arrested but there's plenty more Climate lunatics where they came from. Start looking for the arsonists in those two distinguished groups of people.

How about these salaries for the public servants in charge of the LA water supply.
$800,000 a year to oversee the water distribution? Nice job if you can get it.

Sure but she's a 'Woman of Color' so she deserves it.
Who raised them up above us? Do you think they did it on their own? Look into who founded the NAACP. It wasn't them.....
You know what Marcus Garvey saw (and didn't see) when he visited NAACP headquarters... Have you seen the photographs of the "instruction" going on at the Highlander Folk School before and during the "civil rights" movement?
Putin is an immortal, a Highlander, but he is no where to be seen in such photos. A photo of him is seen from WW1 though.
Garvey was a good man. Back to Africa is the answer. At a talk to Blacks. Jared Taylor said this, adding "Build Wakanda". Tepid applause. They know it's not in them.
Garvey said he didn't see any black people, only Jewish lawyers.
Using our money for a trip to the Motherland.
Can one say, "foreign overseer?"
Think of the massive CA salaries in "water distribution" as taxpayer funded Resnick NDAs to obey and shut up, or else.
I read that the Los Angeles Fire Department Chief is a woman. The Mayor is a woman. Whenever women run the show DEI/LGBTQ garbage takes precedent. Always. Sorry, but its true. Women should have no place running a fire department or a City. They are too worried about hurting peoples' feelings or catering to the pathetic or helping everyone or solving everyone's problems. It's just the way they are.
"Whenever women run the show DEI/LGBTQ garbage takes precedent."
Got proof of that please Canker?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Yep. Sure do. Look at what's happening in Los Angeles. Female fire Chief. Female Mayor. How about Muriel Bowser. Lori Lightfoot. London Breed. Who was that female DA in Baltimore that got busted and had to resign. The list goes on.
A few anecdotes are not evidence my friend.
And you implied it was WHENEVER! As in ALWAYS.
I'm sure will have a lively (!) discussion with my two daughters.
One a successful Vice President of a large Marine Construction Company.
And the other a Professor in charge of the whole University Medical Department.
They will tear you a new one my misogynist friend - which you roundly deserve.
Meh. I don't care.
I’m with you Canker
The exception proves the rule. Just how many of your friends have such commendable daughters? And good job on raising them.
Wokery has just met reality in Hollywood. It is not a happy event.
If you think the woke CA government and all its foot soldiers are phased by the current fire and brimstone, wait till they see the final show. It will be a Revelation!
The people in East Palestine appear forgotten. Their housing values (their middle class nest egg) such as they were, completely destroyed. Apparently the situation was assisted by poor management decisions.
Ditto NC.
Appears to be an emerging pattern around the country.
There are consequences of letting Marxists run this nation into the ground.
Only if you're white, straight and Christian.
My kids house burned down in the Palisades. They are homeless now. This piece and Corolla nail it. Thank you for posting this. I’m sending it to lots of people. And Hi, Jim!
"The adumbrations of this fiasco will darken our national life for years to come."
I really, really doubt it.
What about the effect the LA Riots in 1965, from August 11 to August 16 in Watts? I was 11-years-old watching the TV with my father. Scared the crap out me. Except that the city I was living just outside of, Philadelphia, was rioting, too. American cities were rioting all over back then.
What effect did those riots have on the national psyche? None.
What about the LA Rodney King riots in 1992? LA has been rioting for decades. Nothing gets any better, just way, way worse.
The fires should be a relief. Burn it all down. Get rid of the evidence. Start over. Just like in Hawaii. Use the fire for another land grab.
These LA fires were set by arsonists, just months after LA Insurance Companies cancelled tens of thousands of insurance policies to people whose homes just burned to the ground. Sound familiar? And, there was no water in the fire hydrants to combat the fires with "because of government incompetence?" Again, sound familiar? OMG.
"Taxes are the price you pay for civilization." Had enough of both, yet? I know: Let's send more billions of American Taxpayer money to Ukrainian Nazis.
A healthcare system CEO getting shot in the head several times wasn't message enough? How about when insurance company CEOs start getting bumped off? Enough then?
Probably not.
Ukrainian Nazis supported by the BIden Mob.
National insurance companies requested rate increases to offset the costs of previous wildfires throughout the state. They were refused by the Mob in Sacramento. So they cut all the California home owners off. Insurance is NOT a bottomless pit of money, like the Blues think they are. Just like the Federal government. Blues are going to be the death of America.
The WSJ had a good editorial today (California's Fire Insurance Catastrophe) and put the blame squarely on the government.
The no water in the hydrants is a problem with no simple solution.. You can only get so much water through a pipe. I don't know the size of the mains in the Palisades but if you open up too many outlets obviously the pressure will continue to drop. We have hydrants in my town that are known to be no good. Small mains and sediment build up. You can't get much water out of them. Eventually there will be zero pressure, perhaps even negative pressure if engines are pulling too much. Being hilly terrain there will be much better pressure at lower elevations. I saw a guy on TV saying when he evacuated he put his sprinklers on the roof turned on the water and left. How many others did this?
Right now, we are living in a world where sometimes there just isn't enough fire in California.
It's like how there are too many coffee drinkers. There just isn't enough land or climate to grow enough coffee beans. For coffee they are talking about substitutes. At prices that are already unaffordable in a world run on debt, AKA "Spare No Expense."
In the 1980s over 30-percent of the food was processed. Artificial. Substitutes. Like McCormick's gravy packets. That figure as grow to over 70-percent today. So has the number of obese people. And Type II Diabetes. There just isn't enough real food to feed 8-billion people. Meanwhile, anything in a bag or box will kill you. And look at the prices you pay for food today. Look at the prices you pay for house and homeowner's insurance -- not just in California.
Is there a substitute for water? Is there a substitute for fire? Meanwhile anything combustible (like houses) will kill you in a fire. And look at the price you pay for insurance -- if you can get it.
Someday all this stops, like when California Insurance Companies cancelled the homeowner's insurance for tens of thousands of "insureds," just 3-months before the fires -- probably all set by insurance arsonists. Like in Hawaii.
Your house, your car, your bank, your homeowner's insurance policy, your grocery store are all fires waiting to happen.
Apparently the Life Insurance people weren't in on the Vax scam. Screwed.
Be a great time for a meme campaign. Would you rather DC get nuked by Russia or get drafted to fight them. I bet the answers would scare the elites even more than the support for Luigi did.
