California Democrats hammered for pushing special session to oppose Trump policies while Los Angeles continues to burn | Blaze Media:
Democrats in the California legislature are facing criticism for continuing with a plan for a special session to oppose the policies of the upcoming Trump administration while Los Angeles continues to burn.
Heartbreaking!-Must read!-----‘Everything Is Gone’
Behind the numbers, of course, are the people who lived in the neighborhoods that burned to the ground. Most of them have lost everything, but none have given up hope.
Here are four stories of the fire from Angelenos who lived through it. - Peter Savodnik

Four Angelenos tell us what they lost—and what they’re still holding on to.

But there was nothing, at least nothing that I received.
On Tuesday when the winds picked up, I took some videos of my enormous Newfoundland dog, Hugo, sitting in the front yard, his fur blowing dramatically and his body standing firm even in 60 mph winds.
A few hours later I saw there were deadly fires in the Palisades, some 25 miles away, and felt badly for posting fun videos on Twitter, though not badly enough to take them down, since they were getting a lot of likes.
Around 6:30 I learned of a fire in Eaton Canyon, a few miles to my east. I learned of it on Twitter...

Environmentalism-Obsessed LA Doesn't Have Enough Water to Fight Fire Effectively
Environmentalism-Obsessed LA Doesn't Have Enough Water to Fight Fire Effectively:
“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 posted on Truth Social.
“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. I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA! He is the blame for this. On top of it all, no water for fire hydrants, not firefighting planes. A true disaster!” the president-elect added.
Lots here, read all!-----Trump Presser: Why We Should Not be Subsidizing Canada to the Tune of $200 Billion
The best part is when he takes reporters' questions and answers extemporaneously, off the cuff, and gives the most detailed information and insight into his thinking. - Jennifer Oliver O'Connell

After Trump had already spoken for just over an hour, he took questions...
After all that wealth of information, one reporter decided to challenge Trump about whether he would use military might against Canada.
REPORTER: Are you serious about making Canada the 51st state of the United States[..]. The leader of the Conservative Party of Canada said, 'Under no circumstances will Canada ever be the 51st state.' He stated that there is no way it would happen.Here's the full, unscripted moment. Three minutes and 30 seconds worth.
TRUMP: It's all right. Maybe he won't win, but maybe he will.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would have melted down after a minute, if they were even able to make it that far.

With Trump inauguration looming, Mexico takes action on migrants heading to U.S. border * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
Illegal migration has been one of the hallmarks of the Biden administration, with millions and millions crossing America's borders and entering, in violation of federal law, under his open borders agenda.
The impacts have been huge, with cities from Los Angeles to Denver to New York saddled with hundreds of millions of dollars in costs related to an exploding population of illegal aliens. Gang members have unleashed their crime waves.
Now Fox News is reporting the Mexican government "is working hard to break up migrant caravans trying to make the treacherous journey north to the U.S."
On Dec. 19, 2024, state pumping was reduced down to 5%-6% of capacity to protect smelt that "could be" migrating.
I say "could be" because the last time a smelt was collected in a Fall Trawling Survey was in 2017 when ONE smelt was found, - Kristi Diener

- You're looking at the last 30 days of Delta outflows, where freshwater runs into the sea daily, instead of being captured into storage through pumping...
Did the Vegas Cybertruck bomber just reveal the secret behind the elusive drones? | Blaze Media
Did the Vegas Cybertruck bomber just reveal the secret behind the elusive drones? | Blaze Media:
Achilling story has emerged: A whistleblower, claiming to possess knowledge of advanced military technologies and covert operations, took his own life in a shocking explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. He left behind a manifesto filled with claims so extraordinary they sound like science fiction. Yet if even a fraction of them prove true, the implications are staggering and demand immediate attention.
This whistleblower alleges that the United States and China developed “gravitic propulsion systems,” technologies that manipulate gravity itself to enable silent, undetectable flight at unimaginable speeds. According to his claims, these systems are not theoretical — they are operational, deployed both in the United States and China. If true, this would render conventional defense systems obsolete, fundamentally altering the global balance of power.
Biden's AG not just a liar, he makes it easy to prove he's a liar!-----Garland Uses Cops Who Died By Stroke, Suicides To Rewrite J6
Not a single Capitol police officer was killed on January 6, 2021, yet Attorney General Merrick Garland’s dishonest statement about the protest released Monday may have people thinking otherwise. - Brianna Lyman 
“On this day, four years ago, police officers were brutally assaulted while bravely defending the United States Capitol. They were punched, tackled, tased, and attacked with chemical agents that burned their eyes and skin,” Garland said. “Today, I am thinking of the officers who still bear the scars of that day as well as the loved ones of the five officers who lost their lives in the line of duty as a result of what happened to them on January 6, 2021.”But not a single officer was killed by any January 6 defendants — which is perhaps why not a single defendant was charged with manslaughter or murder.
- Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes on Jan. 7 after suffering two strokes, according to the Washington D.C. chief medical examiner. Members of the propaganda press, however, spent weeks telling America that Sicknick was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher during the protest (I’m looking at you, New York Times). Other outlets like The Associated Press, BBC and USA Today repeated the egregious lie, as pointed out by my colleague Jordan Boyd.
- Four other officers died by suicide within months of the protest — including two officers who were not present for the actual protest...

“The US launching a preemptive strike on Iran. You said you don’t want to answer that,” a reporter asked Trump.
“I don’t talk about it. It’s military strategy,” Trump said.

Trump lit up the reporter.

Gay Choirs, Trans Cafes And Social Justice Art: What LA Spent Money On While Cutting Its Fire Budget | The Daily Caller
The City of Los Angeles cut funding for its fire department and allocated thousands of dollars to various progressive programs, including a “Midnight Stroll Transgender Cafe” and a Gay Men’s Chorus. - Eireann Van Natta 
Bass claimed in a press conference that none of the reductions made “would have impacted the situation that we were dealing with over the last couple of days.”
She added that the city is “in tough budgetary times.”
- Los Angeles allocated $100,000 to the Civil + Human Rights and Equity Department for a “Midnight Stroll Transgender Cafe,” according to its 2024 to 2025 budget. The funding’s purpose is to “support a safe haven for unsheltered transgender individuals in Hollywood,” the document noted.

How political correctness destroyed the United Kingdom | Blaze Media
How political correctness destroyed the United Kingdom | Blaze Media:
For decades now, the U.K. government has been burying untold thousands of incidents of sexual assault perpetrated by predominantly Muslim gangs that have essentially been imported into the country despite the culture’s incompatibility with Western beliefs. Anyone who has dared to call the government out on its egregious abandonment of British citizens has been labeled racist and Islamophobic. The U.K.’s institutionalized censorship has worked to squash dissent as well, as something as benign as expressing frustration at the nation’s handling of immigration could land someone behind bars.
But seemingly out of the blue, a light has begun shining on what’s long been a hushed scandal. And that light’s name is Elon Musk, who, as of late, has posted a flurry of tweets aimed at exposing the U.K.'s web of corruption and censorship as well as the people who are responsible — namely British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Sara Gonzales reads the tweet that started it all:
