Embattled Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass made her big play this week to rebuild Pacific Palisades in her own image. Needless to say, it won't be pretty. During what the Los Angeles Times called "a freewheeling half-hour walking tour in Pacific Palisades," with reporters and "chief recovery officer" and former LAPD commissioner Steve Soboroff, Bass announced that the city plans to hire "an outside consultant to handle a significant rebuilding contract for areas devastated by this month’s Palisades fire," as the Times put it. “They’re going to represent you and make sure that everybody does exactly what they say they’re going to do,” Soboroff told reporters.

None of this comes as any surprise. They wanted the rich people out and they burned them out. Next stop Utopia and Black Rock. California is a beautiful state but everybody should encourage them to leave the union and leave us the hell alone. They are crazy in the worst way.

Oh, please! Look at the "high speed rail," plan to see what would really go on. Nothing would be built but BILLIONS of dollars would disappear somehow. Dem coffers would be full.

That might be the mayor and governors plan. But it is NOT PRESIDENT Trumps plan. He said that their will be aid for the homeowners, but that every penny will be accounted for. The mayor and governor might have a yuge roadblock to stop their "smart city" and their money laundering scheme. And I will put this mildly, it's hard to believe after learning about the arrangements for "rebuilding" that these fires were the method to get this all accomplished!

They will get a dose of what their votes have created. Many of the homes in the Palisades were in the $6 million and up range. Many $15 and $20 million. So, the City, County and State will look to integrate this area now that they see an opportunity to do so and will want significantly higher density. Let the people who live there, or own property there (some don't live in the home anymore but rent it out) deal with them and find out how their government works.

The first order of business for the consultant will be to prevent those who can afford it from buying their neighbors' lots in order to expand when rebuilding. There are some powerful and influential folks in the Palisades who may start pushing back when government overreach starts to hit home - literally. This could get interesting.

You can’t really sob for most of the prior Pacific Palisades location residents who were burned out as they for the most part voted for the leftist and progressive Democrats in the last election thus they assisted in putting Adam Schiff for brains in the US Senate. No doubt the California leftist and progressive Democrats will find developers to re-build the burned out areas with all sort of supposed low income housing and will move their DEI related followers into whatever low income housing is actually built.

Last week Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington received backlash when she injected politics into her sermon during a prayer meeting with President Trump, Vice President Vance, and their respective families in attendance. The bishop urged President Trump to be merciful towards gay, lesbian, and transgender children and illegal aliens. Many were outraged by her casual mention of transgender children as if their condition was a natural phenomenon. In reality, transgender children are victims of coercion and brainwashing by sinister forces and lack the maturity or life experience to make such a life-altering decision. Yet instead of protecting innocent children from this barbarity,

President Trump’s no-nonsense border czar Tom Homan delivered a verbal haymaker on MSNBC’s Joy Reid, going after the liberal commentator on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” Tuesday night in spectacular fashion. Watters queued up a clip of the far-left activist news commentator grousing on her nightly show about the Trump administration’s sweeping nationwide immigration raids, which Reid dismissed as “performative.” New York Attorney General Letitia James, who was Reid’s guest that night, called the government “reckless” for the raids, which have so far snared more than 4,500 violent criminals including convicted murderers, gang members and kidnappers.

Wake up, New York! Did you pay attention to the Trump trials? Did you realize how your rights as a citizen have been abrogated by the New York legal system? Please read the post-trial Trump jury charge and watch the New York juror orientation video. In past years, Chief Judge Judith Kaye’s orientation video depicted the 1735 John Peter Zenger case, which New York schoolkids learned about in pre-woke days.

As the tide of totalitarian wokeness recedes from the swamp, some of its ugliest and most toxic creatures will find refuge as employees or grantees of tax-exempt nonprofits. In our pluralist and democratic society, we must, to some degree, tolerate organizations with intolerant, inhuman, or wicked purposes, not least because we should have the intellectual humility not to judge every cause on our present knowledge. Who knows what valuable chemotherapy will come from the poison mushroom the Sierra Club is fighting to save? True, we need, or at any rate must suffer, the plague of foundations—for fear of an unhealthy political monoculture in which our own miscues and misdeeds go unchallenged.

The ‘Palestinians’ were a made-up people invented by Soviet propagandists during the Cold War. In reality, they’re Arab Muslim settlers, many of whom moved to Israel not that long ago. For example, the al-Husayni clan, who gave us Hitler’s Mufti and much of the ‘Palestinian’ Jihadist elite, moved to Israel in the 18th century. Yasser Arafat, the godfather of ‘Palestinianism’, came out of Egypt. A Hamas leader even admitted that they’re mostly Egyptians. (X) Why not have them move back to Egypt? Questioned about his earlier Saturday call with Jordan’s Abdullah II, Trump said he had asked the king to take additional Palestinians into his country. “I said to him

Joe Biden left the White House a week ago, but the scandal surrounding his mental health is only deepening. On his way out the door, the former president signed a series of pardons at the ACLU's request. Billed as applying to "non-violent drug offenders" (which is an insanely broad generalization), they ended up including a drug lord who murdered an eight-year-old boy and his mother to stop them from testifying.

The late Jimmy Carter didn’t come up spontaneously with the idea of giving away the Panama Canal, which America spent blood and gold on and which is an essential part of its national security. Instead, he had Robert A. Pastor, a communist, whispering in his ear. A globalist who desired to merge incrementally the U.S., Mexico, and Canada into a “North American Union” (NAU) along the model of the European Union, Pastor’s intellectual development was rooted in Marxism. Pastor played an instrumental role in the Carter administration’s decision to relinquish control of the Panama Canal.

“I fear that you will get more violence,” said Sen.

The assembled journalists seemed to quietly concur. Joe’s handlers spent every minute protecting him from even the most trivial journalistic inquiries; President Trump handles hostile questions

Real America’s Voice correspondent Ben Bergquam reported that there are about 300 illegal aliens in jail with ICE detainer requests, but leftist Chicago officials will not let ICE take them to be deported.

Tragically, 67 people appear to have perished after a mid-air collision between a CRJ-700 regional jet operated by PSA (contracted by American Airlines) and a military UH-60 Blackhawk. The CRJ was flying a circling approach to runway 33 at Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA), which sits directly across the river from the nation's Capitol. In layman's terms, they were flying down the Potomac with the end of the approach being a low-altitude left turn onto short final to land
