The Morning Report — 1/13/25
“You’ve lost patience. So have I. You are right to feel wronged. You are right to feel the way you are feeling,” Newsom said to protesters, adding that “society has a responsibility to you to be better, and to do better.”Meanwhile, back to present day in the smoldering ashes of Pacific Palisades and the smoldering ruins of a significant chunk of our society and culture. Here is the totally unsurprising headline of the day for a number of reasons I'm sure you can see, unlike probably the overwhelming majority of Democrat true-believers and run of the mill generational/reflexive/low information Democrats and Dupes.
Newsom said Monday that outside groups were seeking to “create havoc,” but he declined to name specific groups. Residents of Los Angeles complained of lawlessness and a lack of police presence, while others said law enforcement had escalated violence toward peaceful protesters. In Oakland, police arrested three people early Monday in a shooting at Police Department headquarters, and a woman was shot in the suburb of Walnut Creek in connection with the unrest, police told the Chronicle. . . .Newsom largely remained quiet over the weekend and after he held a news conference on Friday. The governor released a statement late Saturday on the deployment of the National Guard and commented again on the protests midday Monday. Hours earlier, President Trump spoke with governors and called for a harsher police crackdown. Asked several times about the president’s comments, Newsom declined to directly respond to Trump or criticize him. In videos from the front lines of the protests, organizers decried the looting and sought to distinguish their groups from the bands of vandals and thieves that shattered windows and made many Californians fear public security was spinning out of control. Newsom said Monday that outside groups were seeking to “create havoc,” but he declined to name specific groups. . . The governor began his Friday news conference with a monologue that delved into his own privilege, his children’s response to Floyd’s death and their attempts to understand what it all meant. “We’ve got to fundamentally change who we are and recognize what we’re capable of being,” he said. The governor echoed that message Monday. “You’ve got to change hearts, minds,” Newsom said. “You’ve got to change culture, not just laws. And we have to own up to some very difficult things. The black community is not responsible for what’s happening in this country right now. We are. We are. Our institutions are responsible. We are accountable to this moment.”
A reported illegal immigrant was arrested by police after California residents feared he would use a blowtorch to start wildfires in Los Angeles. . . . . . Per ICE sources, the man seen in a viral video being subdued by residents & arrested by police w/ a blowtorch near the #KennethFire in West Hills is an illegal alien from Mexico named Juan Manuel Sierra-Leyva. He is in custody on a probation violation & has NOT been charged w/ arson. I’m told ICE will place a detainer request on him with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, but they do not expect it to be honored due to California’s Sanctuary State law. I’m told Sierra-Leyva will have a court appearance tomorrow. . . . . . The arrest comes as California legislators debate legislation that would provide another $25 million to help the state’s large population of illegal evade deportation during President Donald Trump’s second term. Like New York City, the government of Los Angeles welcomes migrants because they serve as cheap labor, apartment-sharing renters, and welfare-aided consumers.So a wetback with a blowtorch sets LA ablaze not one week after a fellow traveler across the Rio Grande, also invited in by Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and the Dems, immolates a sleeping subway rider in NYC. At least the latter was charged for what I have read, but his ultimate disposition is TBD.
There has been much speculation that LA's transformation into Dresden on the Pacific might very well be a tipping point that turns the state Red, politically. Aside from the fact that the political machine that controls the electoral process will simply not allow that to happen, even if for just one future election there is a critical mass of voters that could put a Republican back in Sacramento or even LA city hall.
Let's say for argument's sake, that LA and even all of California flips red. It is worth noting that this past election has seen much of the state flip red than at any time in the past 40 or so years. The big obstacle of course are the large metropolitan Sodoms & Gomorrahs that have a stranglehold on the rest of the state. Historical anecdote: Ironically enough, Operation Gomorrah was the RAF's codename for the firebombing raid on Hamburg in 1943 that wiped out the city and which Albert Speer declared a few more like that would cause the collapse of Nazi Germany.
Meanwhile, the propaganda mills are still pounding out the same garbage about mythological "Climate Change" while no doubt ready to either bury completely the illegal alien angle or otherwise continue the hoary old theme of racist bigoted xenophobia and not open borders being the real problem. Despite all of this as well as the documented criminal negligence and malfeasance of everyone from Newsom and Bass down the line to the incompetent hoseless fire chiefs, remember that mission #1 is protect the movement, "Even if it short-dicks every cannibal in the Congo" as Gunny Hartmann famously said.
As I have pondered on these pages and on our podcasts about this and every other failure and catastrophe we have experienced with the Democrats in charge, over the last four years and indeed the past century and longer, incompetence vs. ideology. I think I have settled on this sentiment, suitable for a Rosie Grier macrame in a frame on the mantlepiece: THE IDEOLOGY IS THE INCOMPETENCE
So as to this mass deprogramming of Leftists, I can't see it, despite what's going on right in front of their eyes. Replacing a Newsom and a Bass is the path of least resistance for the traitorous, murderous Democrat Left. To accept the facts on the ground, that 20 -plus years of banning controlled burning, not damming rivers and building reservoirs, allowing criminal illegal aliens to run wild and to hire police, firefighters and other critical vocations dealing with public safety and security based on the most trivial of criteria as opposed to ability and competency would be to create a crisis of conscience in every Leftist that would shatter a worldview they've held perhaps since childhood and certainly over the past several generations because of indoctrination in schools. Remember, Nikita Kruschev denounced Stalin. He did not denounce Communism. As evil as Stalin was, it was the system he promoted and used as cover to butcher countless millions.

- LOS ANGELES WILDFIRES
- The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) disclosed it was struggling to implement a massive $48.8 million budget cut forced on it by the city’s Democrat mayor, Karen Bass, just days before catastrophic wildfires broke out earlier this week. A leaked January 6 department memo states the LAFD believed a worst-case budget scenario—meaning no relief from the mayor—would result in the closure of upward of 16 fire stations.

- Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom failed to follow through on a signature 2019 initiative to revamp the state’s approach to wildfires and neglected to adequately manage wildfire kindling while a key reservoir reportedly sat empty in the lead-up to the fires that have rocked Southern California this week. While there is nuance to these shortcomings, the results of the crisis makes clear that California’s top officials failed to effectively handle a predictable and dire emergency, according to emergency management and policy experts.
‘Excuses Go Up In Flames’: California Dems Paved The Way For Los Angeles To Be Consumed By ‘The Big One’* * * * * - Despite record rainfall last year, wildfire-ravaged California could not store it due to a lack of infrastructure in the Democrat-ruled state. Critics have challenged Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom’s call to avoid politicizing such issues, claiming that political mismanagement is a core problem.The escalating fires have endangered thousands of residents, homes, and natural habitats, sparking a debate over the state’s water management and political decisions. Edward Ring, director of water and energy policy at the California Policy Center, argues that the state’s focus on climate change as a primary cause of the fires overshadows more pressing issues. He cites outdated water reserve systems and flawed forestry management practices as significant issues.

And it’s also why 2026, 2027, and 2028 will be even worse. That’s the final legacy of the Biden years: He mainstreamed antisemitism in the Democrat Party.

Thank you JJ. I agree with you: These events will not result in a political flip in CA. Voting systems are too corrupt and many residents there (not all but too many) are wedded to the idea of voting blue like it’s a religion. Even being mugged by reality won’t change them…

CA isn't flipping Red. It's systematically and structurally f*cked.
FFS, the LA fires are still burning. You can create firebreaks in the forest. Not in LA, which rivals WWII Tokyo for a city that was built to burn.
By the time it burns out from running out of homes for fuel, this will be the most expensive "natural" disaster in history. I'd guess $500 billion. This will have ginormous knock-on effects including on LA's tax base. The city was already tottering. People will leave and not come back. Many have already been leaving, and not just A-listers.

The left is trying to turn the blame for all of what happened in california on the insurance companies for pulling out of the state and it is going to get worse. Even if somehow they find a bank willing to lend them money to rebuild in a literal fire zone, they wont give out a dime unless that person gets insurance and that ain't gonna happen.
By this time next year the meme will be it's the greedy insurance companies fault for everything.

because of the blood libel of institutional racism and white supremacy.
But institutional racism, sexism and bigotry is the bedrock foundation of DEI.
All the things they complained about they do in spades.
The thing that puzzles me is why the Head of the Department of Water, a refugee from the failed PG&E required double the salary to do none of the actual work. I lay odds she would have done it for half of the what the former occupant was paid.
Furthermore, its obvious that Government has transmogrified into nothing more than a jobs program. Why did she need to be paid double to just implement a racist, sexist, bigoted sinecure recruitment operation?
All of those people hired allegedly would do it with UBI income, right?

In retrospect it becomes more and more clear that someone or some group ran a color revolution in our country in 2020. Covid with its unprecedented (and nonsensical) rules (antisocial distancing, lockdowns, masking) combined with the summer of love social unrest (totally ginned up — and was proclaimed so important it didn’t have to follow the covid rules) led directly to millions upon millions of mail-in ballots and (presto) the removal of Trump from power. Who’s really good at running color revolutions?? It rhymes with bee-eye-bay….

The ATF’s National Response Team (NRT) has investigated numerous wildfires and other fire incidents before the Los Angeles wildfires.
Even assuming that they are both competent and honest - an assumption I do not make, and even assuming that the federal government should have a role in investigating wildfires - an assumption I do not make, why would the ATF be the agency involved?

LA circa 1960 would have been able to rebuild. Current LA will not recover because of the insane regulatory burden of CA.
By the way, from what I understand, because insurance companies couldn't raise their fire insurance rates they started pulling out of CA and cancelling policies.
And how did the CA insurance commissioner respond? He put a moratorium on cancelling policies CA.

FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the wildfires in Southern California are caused by climate change.
Criswell said, “We’re seeing the change coming from climate change, and we’re seeing more significant severe weather events. That’s what we’re seeing here in California.”
If that is really true, then why wouldn't Cali prepare for climate change with more water storage and better fire brigades?

Water storage means that you are taking the sacred water away from Gaia and that causes climate change.
"Better" fire brigades implies that the rainbow of diversity they have is not good enough and you're a H8R for even noticing that.

Overly broad, to include "unwanted touching" or some such shit. So, many J6 prisoners who were convicted, and have those words, or something similar in one or more of the charges against them are, as of now, are in limbo.

The implication is that it wasn't always like that. The only difference is that they are more out in the open.
You can do that when there are no consequences. I mean, you can gun down a Ukrainian women right there on camera in front of a live audience and the courts will find you not guilty.
Newsome, after bragging about blowing up dams on Klamath river, refusing to build the reservoirs that the people voted for, and fighting every measure to remove deadwood fuel for the fires calls all of these claims (that he boasted about) as "ridiculous lies" and put a "fact check" website up that directed people to fund Democrat politicians.
This is beyond being "more out in the open". He believes that he will get away with his Jedi Mindtrick. (and he will, the people of CA are that mentally retarded)

In the Bible chapter of Genesis, we are told that God gave dominion over the animals to us. It seems Newsome is giving dominion to the smelt. It's crazy and anti God, but then so is the concept of multiple sexes.

He just issued that "decision" last week and it wont stand up in any court, even in california. Also by issuing that decision it will cause even more insurance companies to flee california. Way to fvck over even more people in the state.

While it is true that Insurance companies did not renew old policies, it was possible to get new policies with a different company. My son's policy could not be renewed. But he was able to get insurance with a different company at a substantial increase in premiums. That is San Diego.

Second, Newsom has suspended all sorts of red tape for rebuilding. That should be the focus of pressing the D legislature to permanently reverse them. But the Rs won't.

I had two takeaways from Vance's discussion about J6;
- the feds overuse of "violence" as a charge and how that's going to be contentious
- the majority of the prisoners will, in fact, be freed
I would suspect there's bipartisan support behind keeping the "violent" protesters in prison. Every single congress person in the capitol that day felt like they where about to be lynched. There was honest to God fear. And while that's good, IMO, there are the likes of Mz. Lindsey who pissed his pants that day and would likely fight like hell to keep many, if not all of the J6 prisoners behind bars.
It's going to be a very politically controversial issue for Trump to deal with. It shouldn't be, but it is.
I would hope that the true instigators of J6 are held responsible and not the innocents who were there and did nothing to warrant being in prison. Specifically I'm looking at the likes of Pelosi, etc. who facilitated J6.
- the feds overuse of "violence" as a charge and how that's going to be contentious
- the majority of the prisoners will, in fact, be freed
I would suspect there's bipartisan support behind keeping the "violent" protesters in prison. Every single congress person in the capitol that day felt like they where about to be lynched. There was honest to God fear. And while that's good, IMO, there are the likes of Mz. Lindsey who pissed his pants that day and would likely fight like hell to keep many, if not all of the J6 prisoners behind bars.

I seriously doubt it.
It's an accumulation of state policies over the years.
And, a good number of people believe " oh, my house was valued at 750K, that's what I'm getting. " No, you're getting what it costs to rebuild your house. 500K. The 600K note isn't going away.

Morning everyone, thx JJ. You have to admit that whether through long term malfeasance or recent intentional actions the Dems are doing one hell of a job going scorched Earth (pun intended).
It clearly is deliberate malfeasance. As everyone has already observed, this event was 100% predictable.
I submit that a disaster was engineered to be an epic disaster so that financially strapped CA government will win the $200B Congressional Sweepstakes Grand Prize, and as a bonus measure get a new, fully funded sinecure agency to live in perpetuity to "study" and "manage" the problem.

I've had a large bank V.P. explain to me that the courts have their back, but any ledger sense arithmetic shows the salaries and pensions alone make these entities broke.

So to all the cynical people posting that CA is Gone With the Wind, what good does your negativity accomplish? I suppose we're supposed to just shrug our shoulders and abandon this great state and all the million and millions of Trump voters there because it's hopeless. Just like Abraham Lincoln did back in 1860 when a bunch of states wanted to walk away from the union. Too bad, so sad, I'm glad.
What if Trump looked at America back in 2015 and came to the same conclusion? Where would we be now? You people that post negativity - including JJ, do so because it gratifies your pride to say "I told you so" and "yeah these people are irredeemable, let's just screw them."
It's true a large number of people are so heavily indoctrinated that they can't be reached. But there are many, many who can be brought out of leftist programming. And if we can reach these people, which Trump is currently doing across the country, we can save any state. We cannot give up on California, or any state.
Cynical negativity is an energy that is destructive. It goes out into the world and becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I urge all of you pessimists to turn it around.

>>Second, Newsom has suspended all sorts of red tape for rebuilding. That should be the focus of pressing the D legislature to permanently reverse them. But the Rs won't.
A guess?
He'll be suspending all sorts of red tape on building high-density apartment housing that was formerly zones for single family units. Our governor Polis has been railing against "local red tape" re: enabling affordable housing, previously as a Harris campaign surrogate, and more recently in his 'state of the state' speech. For him and Dem leaders here, it means allowing dense, high-capacity apartment complexes with no required parking, removing building height restrictions, allowing ADUs, etc..
Newsom will use this seemingly rebuild-friendly anti-red tape stance to build 15 minute cities.

LA is f*cked. Many homes had no insurance. Many more were underinsured. Many are no longer worth what the last owner paid. This is a $500B+ mess. The idea of a city is that many people want or need to live there. No longer for LA. "Hollywood" was already dispersing away from LA. Other industries to now follow. Newsom can't wish this away.
One consolation is that Trump will make Newson the poster child for Woke Failure. He's going to beat him like a pinata. And then club him like a baby seal.

Insty has the Newsom "red tape suspension" tweet.
Homeowners may have red tape suspended, but, in the same tweet, Newsom also talks about implementing anti price gouging measures.
Houses won't get rebuilt and Newsom also found a way to avoid any blame for nothing getting done. It will be the fault of the evil capitalists who wouldn't rebuild for less than the cost of materials.

I will believe the guy who was arrested and brutalized by this government for walking 25 feet with the lectern. You have seen the photo. When interviewed his conclusion was that Babylon DC was pissed that we dared to tread on their house and embarrass them.
The motivation of our Congress Critters to the J6 tourists was absolutely no different than a gang banger shooting someone dead for disrespecting him by standing on his shadow.

What I am seeing is a heavily bribed "concierge" who is very well connected and who has a very big expense account who will escort the elite home owner through their rebuilding experience.

Exactly. If I'm planning on a new building, not a rebuild. I would sue to have the red tape waived.
My eye doctor in Austin wanted to update his building, $300k and a few years later he got his permits.
Then Austin came back when finished and said the glass was too reflective (in Texas where reflective glass dramatically reduces your Carbon Footprint&trade
and that they had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars more to fix it.
Austin is bad, but not California/LA levels of bad.

If you have not seen any of Newscums Meet the Press interview aired yesterday, watch at least a minute or two of it.

Newscum continually goes waaay over the top with hand, arm, and body movements. Often all three, like he's shadow dancing. His handlers must believe 'personal performance politics' is loved by the TikTokers, AWFLs and other core Democrat groups. I was disgusted. How can anyone take this man seriously?

I saw something that said 12,000 homes.
That would be $24B.
Still a far cry from $500B.
I am guessing $100-$200B is more likely, adding in knock on effects of the destruction.

Up to a certain amount. That is, the insurance policy isn't a blank check to replace the insured structures at whatever the cost that day it is, the policy has a dollar amount based on the evaluation of the property and whatever negotiations around that happened.
Posted by: Unknown Drip
Sorta. Most policies have "replacement " cost regarding the rebuild of the house. A rider or equivalent to $X per room.
Other things, such as a in-home sauna. Not so much. It's really up to the Home owner to add other things. People have hit the auto renew and will be left short.
Plus, the value of your house is based more on location. The same house on Sunst Blvd is going to be worth more than the same house in Acton with 2 acres. But the cost to rebuild is basically equivalent.

The current estimates are about 3,000 homes destroyed.
Other reports are saying over 15,000 "structures" which I imagine would include RVs and outhouses.
You can also bet your last tax dollar that part of that multi-billion dollar assessment is to "fix" and "manage" the problem going forward. Which translates into new agencies with new sinecures and wildly compensated DEI specialists to helm these agencies who will recommend hundreds of billions for new reservoirs, multi-family housing projects and funding for illegal alien shelters and cultural centers (which will never be built, but the money will be spent).
Sorry, CBD, you are just not that... inspired...

If possible, whatever accommodations get made for the one percenters of Pacific Palisades, those same accommodations, whatever form, should be replicated for all those in NC, GA, and TN that lost their homes in the hurricane flooding.
And this should be announced by Trump in a presser. Hotel rooms, food, money, lifting of regs to facilitate rapid rebuild, instant school buildings, and much much more.

1) The mortgage lenders are the 1st to get hurt, with the bond holders of the packaged mortgages next. Not a single burned out homeowner will pay his mortgage
2) There's plenty of home building capacity (manufactured homes, etc.) (on greenfield sites). It's the cleanup and prep. of the old lots that will take time.
3) Any homeowner with a liability policy will get sued (you burned my home) and counter sue his neighbor. Fire coverage not needed.
4) Most of the value of those homes is in the land. The unique character of each home is now gone. It will return as a cookie cutter subdivision.

>>If red tape was this easy to remove with just an executive order then why didn't Newsom remove it with the last California wildfire. What about those people that lost their homes?
Probably more than a few Californians asking themselves that question right now.
Everyone affected is still in a state of shock. Soon it will be despair, anger and grief. Sure, a lot of rich people will just move to one of their other homes while all of this gets sorted out by their lawyers and accountants but not everyone. Most people just saw their entire world turned upside down over something that was largely preventable and they have no idea what comes next.
I agree with A Principled Victoria. California wasn't always like this and there's no law that says it has to stay this way. This is a rare opportunity to bring a whole lot of people to our side if we show them a better way.

220 If the rumor is true, Israel and Hamas cut a deal to release the remaining Oct. 7 hostages. But Netanyahu told Biden yesterday they do not have a deal, but he would "keep Biden informed" (ha!). I suspect inauguration day will be a good day for those hostages, like for the rest of us.

The Junta will give away (to Hamas) or take away (from Israel) anything to get all hostage released in the next 7 days, 3 hours. To prevent Trump getting any credit for additional hostage releases. Then the Dem-Media Complex will never call Trump's "unleash hell" promise as a factor.

The governor began his Friday news conference with a monologue that delved into his own privilege, his children’s response to Floyd’s death and their attempts to understand what it all meant. “We’ve got to fundamentally change who we are and recognize what we’re capable of being,” he said.
The governor echoed that message Monday. “You’ve got to change hearts, minds,” Newsom said. “You’ve got to change culture, not just laws. And we have to own up to some very difficult things. The black community is not responsible for what’s happening in this country right now. We are. We are. Our institutions are responsible. We are accountable to this moment.”

Other reports are saying over 15,000 "structures" which I imagine would include RVs and outhouses.
You can also bet your last tax dollar that part of that multi-billion dollar assessment is to "fix" and "manage" the problem going forward. Which translates into new agencies with new sinecures and wildly compensated DEI specialists to helm these agencies who will recommend hundreds of billions for new reservoirs, multi-family housing projects and funding for illegal alien shelters and cultural centers (which will never be built, but the money will be spent).

They think just saying the words "I take responsibility" *is* taking responsibility. Performative speech. Like how saying the words "I do" actually creates a marriage, or how saying the words "you know that dress kinda does make you look fat" actually ends it.

Just a payoff to kill the IRA and the Green New Deal. We know what will happen. More fires, more climate disasters, more death.

At his ranch in Black Pines, just outside Kamloops, B.C., Ed LeBourdais knows how to get his bulls' attention. Grabbing a five-gallon bucket, he gives it a few firm thumps to summon his herd. "They all come once you beat the bucket," he told CBC's Daybreak Kamloops host Shelly Joyce. "The older guys will definitely come first. The younger ones, they'll follow when we start [scattering grain]."

There's a lot in there; pl. read. Just a few points pulled out, as follows:
Forest Management, Climate Change, the Wildland-Urban Interface, and Wildfire Risk
Roughly 86% of fires are human-caused, human ignited. Lightning caused fires were concentrated in summer months.
Disaster and Recovery Assistance
(under) Notes:
"Each state has two separate cost thresholds for wildfires-one for an individual fire and one for cumulative wildfire suppression costs in a calendar year. Individual wildfire thresholds are the greater of $100,000 or 5 percent multiplied by a per capita indicator which is adjusted for inflation each year) multiplied by the state's population cumulative thresholds are the greater of $500,000 or three times the individual wildfire threshold. In each case, the federal government's share of the cost is set at 75 percent."

There's a lot in the report that could be foundational for investigation(s), imo.
