The Morning Report — 1/9/25

Demtwinfire.jpg

Good morning kids. Whether it's a burning cross on a lawn, or burning cities (either from BLM/Antifa molotov cocktails or the ideologically-driven incompetence that's now burning LA to the ground) or immolating sleeping subway riders, the match that set them off were all struck by Democrat/Leftists.

DEMOCRATS — Now they have become DEATH, the destroyer of worlds. All of the misery, the suffering, needless death, destruction, dislocation and waste of blood, treasure, economic and most crucially human potential since the founding of this nation until the present moment is directly the fault of, or have been made exponentially worse by Leftists, Socialists, Progressives and their political epicenter in the Democrat party. An ocean of blood and tears over the past 200-plus years has been spilled and continues to flow because of them.

And it's not because they are merely wrong and/or have good intentions. No, It is all for their evil eternal quest for absolute power. I defy anyone to try and refute that because it simply cannot be refuted.

And with that preamble, I give you the shambling, corrupt, amoral, soulless humanoid atrocity known as Bernie Sanders:

“80,000 people told to evacuate. Blazes 0% contained. Eight months since the area has seen rain. The scale of damage and loss is unimaginable,” the senator began before blaming the devastation not on poor fire management but on climate change. . . Sanders made no mention of the fact that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) — who was not in LA but on a trip to Ghana when the blaze took off — cut roughly $20 million from the city’s budget for fire services. Perhaps what is more, she proposed even higher cuts.

In a way, this self-gassing, criminal commie scumbag is sort of correct. For sure the climate in California has indeed changed. In a mere two generations, he and his ilk have lain waste to what used to be the world's 6th largest economy, and made what was a shining paradise and beacon of freedom, free enterprise, promise and unlimited potential into a literal flaming communist hell on earth. One merely has to look at Cuba or Zimbabwe to see where this nation was headed, and may yet head if Donald Trump's miraculous RE-re-election is merely a speed bump on the road to hell and not the slamming on of the brakes and the throwing of the machine into reverse at flank speed.

Anecdotally, from a friend who lives on the West Side of LA, which could go up next. . . he said that the water bombers and other aircraft that dispense fire retardants were grounded, not because of what was reported as dangerously high winds but so that Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants could fly in and hold a press conference at a fire station with Governor Noose 'em so he could belch out how wonderful the government response has been.

President-elect Trump nailed it.

“Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social Wednesday.

“He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didn’t work!), but didn’t care about the people of California. Now the ultimate price is being paid,” Trump added.

The president-elect said he will “demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA! He is the blame for this.”

"Newscum." Trump himself or someone on his team must lurk here! The salient point is that the Red Green commies, along with preventing the damming of certain rivers as well as construction of reservoirs that would have collected rainwater and snow melt to be used in case of wildfires and also to avoid the expense of relying completely on the water from the Colorado River. But no, we have to protect the Delta Smelt, the and the Snail Darter. On top of this, California many years ago banned the controlled burning of dead sections of forest which would have mitigated if not prevented wildfires over the past 20 or so years, especially the Malibu wildfires of '93 that I remember when I lived in LA back then. All to prevent the release of evil Carbon. We got Carbon in the atmosphere now out the wahzoo, eh Greenies? In any case, Carbon is life. Meh, it's like banging your head against a wall to try and tell them.

You'll also see from the links that all kinds of firefighting equipment was sent to Ukraine! And that Karen Bass in her wisdom cut millions of dollars of funding from the LAFD. All while partying with the Mugu scammers in Ghana!

Ah yes, DEI strikes again, Dissolution Evil and Incineration!

It's not all bad news for the 64% of Los Angeles County who voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. As they flee the brutal wildfires in terror, watching everything they own turn to toast, they can take comfort in knowing that their Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) -- which is powerless to stop the inferno -- overfloweth with sweet diversity, as planned.

The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Bureau will focus on building and fostering a Department committed to engaging the voices and respecting the humanity of all its members, reflected in how it handles recruitment and hiring, workplace conduct, retention, and promotion. The DEI Bureau will be up and running and fully staffed by January 2023. It will be led by Deputy Chief Stephen Gutierrez, the Department’s first Chief Equity Officer. Thank God. I'm sure Californians would hate to be pulled out of a burning house by a fire department rife with filthy "toxic masculinity" and sorely lacking men in panties.

Marxism hates many things, including beauty, private property, success, self-sufficient people, and that "racist" meritocracy. 
If nothing else, LA can burn with pride knowing the feckless fire chief checks a box...

... The fire engulfing L.A. shouldn't be a surprise. Every institution, whether it's our airlines, a basketball team, or a fire department, will crumble once the DEI animals spread through them like cancer. And the LAFD is one of those institutions taken over by Marxists.

And then there's this item that no doubt will make your head explode:

Despite the widespread devastation left behind in the wake of Hurricane Helene, Buncombe County, North Carolina property owners were expected to cough up their property taxes earlier this week.

Midnight on Monday Jan 6 was the deadline for property owners to pay their taxes as Public Information Officer Stacy Woods told residents, “North Carolina law does not permit property tax waivers or exceptions for natural disasters, including hurricane Helene.”

The thought of collecting taxes on property that has been destroyed or that no longer exists, is shocking to residents who are still in the process of recovering from the unprecedented destruction caused by the storm.

. . . Meanwhile, the question remains as to whether the county will move to seize properties from residents for non-payment of taxes, as allowed by law.


I'm going to take a wild guess and state Buncombe County NC likely went 100% for Trump in the past three elections and that Los Angeles County CA DID NOT.

Wow, I stand corrected, per this from commenter The Lower Depths:

11 Buncombe County NC voted against Trump all three elections. In fact, since it's full of upscale trendies (there's a college town there, I think?), it's one of the few places in the whole country where Dims are better off now than they were in 2008.

Dim percentages by election in Buncombe:

2004 - 49%
2008 - 56%
2012 - 55%
2016 - 54%
2020 - 60%
2024 - 61%

And yet FEMA still leaves them to twist in the wind. Were it not for the Amish community that came in to help with providing/building shelter, Appalachia would be much worse off.

How much do you want to bet that Gavin New-world-order-some is not going to demand the payment of taxes for destroyed homes. That is, unless the State's IRS can determine the voter registration political affiliation of the affected residents. And they can and likely will.

After all, what better pretext to seize property and turn it into housing for migrants or other regime supporters. Let's see if Pelosi ups her positions in Blackrock and Vanguard. Remember again that California's state coffers are in the red by multiple billions. And I do NOT think The incoming Trump administration is going to give a shit that the LA Times will run the headline "Trump to LA: DROP DEAD."

Frankly, maybe a bail out, and a rebuilding plan but on TRUMP's terms might be a shrewd move politically.

All that said, as we all knew at the time of the hurricane, FEMA apparatchiks specifically were directed not to provide assistance to any homes that had Trump signs on their lawns or that they likely knew or correctly assumed were registered GOP families or pro-Trump.

As I have good friends and some acquaintances and a cousin in two of the affected areas, their politics is irrelevant to me. I want to know they are safe and sound. Compare and contrast with the actions of the junta in the wake of Helene.

Lefty Angelenos, pucker up because you can kiss Trump's ass in Macy's window as he is not going to abandon you. While I do not want money thrown around willy nilly, like a high speed rail boondoggle. But some form of rebuilding plan is both the moral and politically astute thing to do. All done without the graft, wastage and bullshit regulatory garbage, especially the environmental madness that added fuel to these fires, literally and figuratively.

Prayers for strength, courage and above all safety to all affected and for the firefighters on the front line.

Have a good day.

12 I watched some of the KTLA live feed yesterday. There was one segment that showed an apparently femaleish firefighter struggling with a firehouse. She could not hold it while opening the valve. Someone came along and helped her get it started and pointed her where to direct the stream, and then left with a pat on the back.

18 Thanks JJ

I’m still on Nextdoor for my old LA County neighborhood and even though it’s true there are many sensible even conservative folks in CA… it’s also true there are many brainwashed souls…. Some guy posted a story about LAFD cuts by Bass and lack of water in reservoirs and he was “swarmed” by the whole neighborhood as a thoughtless troll… how dare he bring up politics. It was kinda sad….

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at January 09, 2025 07:43 AM (6RwsA)

19 Rebuilding fire devastated LA may be politically astute, but completely pointless if the reservoirs aren't built and maintained (by non DEI), city services are well maintained (again, by non DEI), 'environmental policies that run counter to a safe, livable environment are purged such that insurance companies are comfortable returning to insure housing. I don't see any of that happening. The voters prefer to live in a paradise that is run by Zimbabwe.

OK, so what do property taxes pay for?

Its pretty damned clear that emergency assistance isn't one of them.

Nonetheless, its always a good idea to escrow your taxes and insurance for reasons like this when your government is far more interested in curb stomping you while you are down and taking those precious dollars to fund their perqs, pensions and illegal alien benefits.

Yes, because it isn't a crime.

It's horrible that states are going after these alternate electors and the lawyers advising the president. Tarring and feathering these prosecutors needs to come back in style in order for justice to be served and the healing from the damage they wrought can begin.

162 If it makes TX feel better, VA is still in the "let the snow melt before schools go back" phase (4 days off and counting).

To be fair, the plowing did suck b/c it was a full state storm...and since we have only state plowing b/c we don't get a lot of snow and since most times, storms only hit 1 part of the state, not the whole thing and not this badly, it was bound to go poorly this time...And the freeze has not helped.

But still - 4 days off for 9 inches (and now frigid cold/icing) and counting.

The difference in private plowing and neighborly shoveling is amazing though. My neighborhood was pristine day 2. Day 3, yesterday, I walked to the nieghborhood over, which has state plowing and no HOA, and it was a disaster. So, I can't blame the schools...

Well, JJ.

You have to admit the Democrats have really evolved.

From setting a cross on fire in front of a single home to demonstrate the power of their lunatic beliefs,

to burning down an entire city.

No wonder the Democrats keep pushing for nuclear war with Russia.

The only way up is to set the whole country on fire.

If you are responsible for your own healthcare, no one really cares if you decide to pay out the nose for treatments that might not work. Well, your heirs might, but society as a whole isn't involved in the least.

But when the government is choosing how much to pay and for who, then government is going to pay a bunch of "ethicists" to come up for arguments as to why they shouldn't pay for your healthcare and just "give you the pain pills" - unless of course you are connected to those in government making those decisions...

How is this his fault? How can you assign blame to a single person for a natural disaster?

It's not his fault but he will get the blame. The blame really belongs to climate change.

In the age of Musk/Trump he will be on their hit list. They want try & eliminate him before 2028, and will use this as a cudgel.

Unless he was out there with a barrel of gas and a blowtorch, igniting the corpse of Smokey the Bear after shooting him, no reasonable person could blame him for this. But I suppose that’s your point.

They're criticizing the response, not the disaster. Too little too late.

The response has not been too little too late. What the heck atr you saying??? I'm out here, the response has been excellent.

Without looking I would guess that 80-90% of the property tax is for assessed value of improvements - they are being taxed on the homes and buildings which are not there or are negative asserts (need to be torn down).
Tax man is being an ass pretending that the people are asking for waivers merely because of bad weather when they are asking to not be taxed on shit that does not exist.
If there were any waiver it would be because tax man lacks resources to get his ass ou5 there and reassess.

I remember there was a story where some local guy "stole" a school bus to evacuate people. And I use the word "stole" because NOLA had dozens of school buses they could have used to evacuate people and instead just left them to be destroyed by the flooding.

There was also a issue in that NOLA/LA had been stealing funds for flood preparedness for years either spending it on other things or just claiming to have spent the money but pocketing it instead.

304 >>He's right and wrong at the same time. They're going to be pissed. They're going to reap what they've sown election after election. However, they'll vote for Newsom's replacement who will be to the left of Newsom.

Clownafornia has made it illegal to even ask for ID when voting. Not optional, illegal. If a poll worker asks a voter for ID then can be charged. The state has been doing ballot harvesting for so long they've mastered it.

Every single time a state starts cracking down on voter fraud it moves to the right. Look what happened in Florida. It went from a purplish state to possibly the reddest state in the country after Ron went to town on voter fraud.

California is probably the most corrupt state in the country when it comes to voting. It didn't just go from Reagan and Wilson to hair gel by magic. Nobody actually knows who is voting in California.

305 Yep. Newsom's lefty replacement will make vague pronouncements about handling things like this better and do the same exact things Newsom and did.

And being raised in a middle-class family. And being unburdened by what has been.

There was a famous picture of a district parking lot with nearly 400 buses parked in it. Mayor Nagan (who eventually went to jail) said they couldn’t be used because it was Sunday and it was the bus drivers day off. They sat there unused until they were all flooded and destroyed.

It would be funny if it wasn't so consequential. I have no doubt that California leans left. Even Reagan was a bit squishy on social issues.

But the idea that it is so far left of the rest of the country because of the salt air and beaches is just stupid. There are plenty of conservatives and just plain normal people in California. The left stole the 2020 election from all of us. They now rig every election in California.

Sorry, I have been hearing this crap for years... I have no love for the dems who rule over NOLA, but I live there & am very attuned to hurricanes during the season. This is what happened. As of Thursday, weather reports had Katrina going into FL. It wasn't until Friday evening that I started hearing that Katrina was headed to NOLA. I evacuated my family on Saturday trying to beat the crush out of the city. Katrina hit on Monday. There's plenty of blame for the disaster that followed to be hung on the heads of those in charge, but not issuing an evacuation order sooner is not one of them.

383 >>>So...do you ever really own your house if you have to keep paying the government to keep it?

No, it's a permanent rent, with the landlord able to seize it and sell it for the slightest lapse in payment or a sudden whim of eminent domain. Furthermore, any increase in the value of said property is ceded to that landlord upon said seizure with very few remedies for recovering it.

I see his campaign quotations a lot, but I'm pretty sure he found it in himself to support the 1968 Gun Control Act just the same.

403 Wikipedia is a joke of wokeness.

Pacific Palisades and Naples Florida are about equal in population, PP being a little tiny bit larger with 23K people.

Demographics close, PP far more white though, and each has average household incomes around $135K.

Here is the woke. Wiki says PP was originally settled by the Chumash people circa 8,000 BC, while Naples was originally settled in 1886.

408 I don’t believe there was ever a halcyon time where property tax was never levied.

We can bitch about the concept. The point is, the outrage about “paying tax on a house that isn’t there” is bullshit.

They owe tax for the prior year. Do you understand this? And understand why they aren’t going to relent?

Keep in mind - they already spent the money. One wag pointed out, because of this - if somehow everyone straightened up and flew right, and didn’t speed, drive drunk, and used their turn signals and the rest of it, the local municipality would have a financial crisis. They know how much they pull in every year, about. If they don’t get it, they are fooked

Yep. Just like Michigan re-elected the triumvirate of Whitmer/Nessel/Benson after their COVID tyranny.

416 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

It seems - and I may very well be wrong - the Federal response comes rapidly once the mansions of 'stars' and politicians are threatened; Harry and Meghan, Tom Hanks and Mimi Rogers, Benifer, even that of V.P. Kamala Harris. (WION on YouTube)

Of course, Trump is wrong (wait for the truth meters to read False) for reporting there's not sufficient water to fight the fires - and certainly that the protection of smelts had anything to do with available water - but rather we must understand it's a matter of climate change and logistics, getting water to areas as the Pacific Palisades. Why?!

San Francisco Chronicle, 'LA's Fires are tearing through some of it's wealthiest neighborhoods'

In part, "The typical home value in Pacific Palisades' 90272 ZIP code is $3.4 million, according to data from real estate brokerage Zillow. That's the 27th-highest estimate of any U.S. ZIP code in Zillow's data, as of November 2024, the most recent month for which the company has data."

Yes, of course, Beau was also featured therein. And then the 'baby' announcement by Maddie Ellis. 🤦‍♀️

In part, "Jill Biden introduced her and President Joe Biden's first great-grandchild to the world — and Instagram — Jan. 8 by sharing the first photos of Naomi Biden's son.

The president holds his great-grandson while the first lady adjusts his hat in a photo Jill Biden posted Wednesday to Instagram.

"We are proud to introduce you to our great-grandson: William Brannon Neal, IV," she wrote in the caption."

In part, "Most asylum seekers coming from the UK to the Republic of Ireland enter the country from Northern Ireland, as - unlike the airport or ferry routes - there is no passport control. The Garda checks along the 500km-long (310 miles) border are the only means of stopping illegal entry.

Det Ch Supt Minnock told the BBC that 200 people had been returned to the UK this year as a result of these checkpoints, thought to be only a small fraction of those crossing the porous border illegally."
