'Scientific Socialism' Has Come to Pacific Palisades

"You can’t rebuild the same. We have to rebuild with science. We have to build with climate reality in mind," California Gov. Gavin Newsom told CNN last week in an interview about rebuilding the burned-out Pacific Palisades. "We have to look at infrastructure or redundancy systems. Ingress, egress, as it relates to emergency management and planning materials." The interview seems to have flown under the radar, but when I caught it this morning, a bit belatedly, my alarm bells went off left and right. Well, to be honest, they were all on the left. Whatever happened to Newsom's promise that he'd eliminate red tape and accelerate the rebuilding of one of L.A.'s nicest

Just wait until they require all new construction to be LEEDS certified platinum rated (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Nothing will be affordable to build.

FTA: "Newsom and Bass might design the Scientifically Perfect Palisades of their dreams, but who will live in it?" The Dems were going after the suburbs before they got their rear ends handed to them. They wanted smaller lots, and more types of housing including apartments within those pleasant, quiet neighborhoods that people worked hard to afford, and chose for themselves because they earned it. It would be especially egregious if the politicians so eager to rob citizens of their right to live in neighborhoods they like and can afford, were allowed to control the property that went up in flames on their watch. Do not doubt that first on their list would be making it more "fair" because not everybody can live there. What was the "science" behind preventing the regular clean up of dry wood and brush? What was the "science" of emptying a reservoir during fire season? What was the "science of diverting water to the sea? If I've learned on thing about Democrat politics in the past 40 years, it's that they make stuff up, call it science, and use it to gain control of something they want. The same people who kept us home over a virus they insisted started in a "wet market" also funded a lab near by that was doing research on viruses. The same people that told us one lie after another about the safety and protection of the vaccines called it "science" made sure the drug companies had no liability. The same people who told us men can have babies called that "science" too. When politicians start running a campaign citing "science" to justify it, it would be good to remember the times they did it for POLITICAL reasons, and the damage they've done in the past four years pretending "the science" supported their self serving and VERY DANGEROUS ideas.

Burn it all down. Then make it impossible for anyone to rebuild. Buy them out. I guess that is one way to clear out the all the people. Newsome looking to build EPA/climate change/pollution free/low to no energy usage high rise apartment complexes? If I remember correctly they no longer wanted single family homes. Big no no. Stuff them all into an apartment complex. Easier to control and easier to lock 'em down if necessary. Enjoy the suck. You voted for these fools. Half of you will be dead before you get the first brick laid.

The people affected by these horrific fires should be leading the new charge to recall the putz that is know as Newsom. But, alas, they voted for him and the other loser, Bass, and brainwashed as they are about so-called climate change, will happily accede to these brain dead, corrupt politicians. Ya can't feel sorry for these people. But, God knows I do.

Trump pardons ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich
5 years after commuting his sentence

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday pardoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose 14-year sentence for political corruption charges he commuted during his first term. The Republican president called the Democratic former governor, who once appeared on Trump’s reality TV show “Celebrity Apprentice,” “a very fine person” and said the conviction and prison sentence “shouldn’t have happened.” “I’ve watched him. He was set up by a lot of bad people, some of the same people I had to deal with,” Trump said at the White House as he signed the pardon. Blagojevich was convicted in 2011 on charges that included seeking to sell an appointment to then-President Barack Obama’s old Senate seat

I wrote here about the absurd order issued by a Democratic Party judge that purports to bar the Secretary of the Treasury, along with many others, from accessing the Treasury Department’s data. The judge who issued that ex parte order–that means he issued it without even waiting to hear from the government–was Paul Engelmayer. Engelmayer sits in the Southern District of New York, a venue that has no apparent connection to the Treasury Department’s operations. The Trump administration has now moved urgently to correct Engelmayer’s error. The linked document is a Memorandum in support of a Motion to Dissolve, Clarify or Modify Engelmayer’s improvidently granted temporary restraining order.

Sure, if you're the Vatican, or more specifically, the Vatican's big umbrella NGO of NGOs known as Caritas, whose U.S. arms include Catholic Charities and Catholic Relief Services. According to the Associated Press: VATICAN CITY -- The Vatican's charity said Monday that U.S. plans to gut USAID were “reckless” and could kill millions, while Pope Francis’ point man on development urged the Trump administration to remember Christian principles about caring for others. Cardinal Michael Czerny, a Czech-born Canadian Jesuit, is one of the cardinals most closely associated with Francis’ pontificate and heads the Vatican office responsible for migrants, the environment, the church’s Caritas Internationalis charity and development.

The federal judge who suggested Trump administration officials could face criminal contempt over the spending freeze on Monday is a Democrat donor. John J. McConnell, Jr., chief judge of the U.S. district court in Rhode Island, ordered the Trump administration to “immediately restore frozen funding” after determining officials violated his prior restraining order and suggesting further opposition could result in criminal charges. McConnell cited a 1975 case that states, “Persons who make private determinations of the law and refuse to obey an order generally risk criminal contempt even if the order is ultimately ruled incorrect.” While he was in private practice as an attorney until 2009, McConnell donated hundreds of thousands

A former executive inside the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) warns of corruption in the agency that is currently being reviewed and purged by the Trump administration, alleging that among politicians, it is mostly Democrats who benefited from its funding. Mark Moyar, former director of the Office of Civilian-Military Cooperation at USAID in the first Trump administration, explains the corruption he saw within the agency and the lack of transparency, as he looks forward to its reduction. He also claims that Democrats have benefited more from the agency’s funding than Republicans, based on his own personal experience. During the first few weeks of the second Trump administration,

President Trump rolled back into the DC Swamp like a BOSS on a mission. Sure, in 2016, he took DC by storm—but not like this. This time around, it’s different. Everyone sees it and feels it, too. Even some experts, like Mark Halperin, who are left speechless watching Trump steamroll not just the fake news media, but the entire Dem Party. Mark says he’s never seen anything like this. Once again, President Trump is changing the game. He’s a man who has learned from the past—and now, he knows exactly how to play these bad guys like a fiddle.

On Sunday, a man of the cloth used the pulpit to issue a sick call of violence against his fellow man. Dr. Steve Caudle, a pastor at Greater Second Missionary Baptist Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee, gave his weekly sermon to congregants who gathered to worship God. But Caudle had a few other things on his mind beyond spreading the Gospel. After a brief talk regarding the Super Bowl matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, Caudle then turned his attention to his scripture lesson called “The Violent Kingdom.” He decided to use the Scripture of Matthew to blast the Trump Administration and DOGE.
