Kash Patel was confirmed as Director of the FBI after much weeping and wailing by the Democrat Senators. His confirmation is solid evidence that this Republican congress is going to be different. Republicans flat out ignored the frantic pleas and  confirmed someone who has promised to follow the rule of law without political prejudice.

There are a lot of Democrats and left-wing groups showing an awful lot of anxiety. While some of this may truly be because of extreme political differences there is a potential there is much more involved. Anyone paying attention knows that the Federal Government is famous for wasting money. It is also famous for incompetence and fraud. California paid $400 million in jobless benefits to inmates. Note, this is from the AP, which is very liberal.

California paid $400 million in jobless benefits to inmates | AP News

If the AP reports it, and it is damaging to liberal Democrats, the evidence must be overwhelming and undeniable.

One notes that, predictably, Gavin Newsom blamed this on someone else:

“Newsom responded to the letter Tuesday, saying he has been “deeply alarmed” by the problem. He blamed the fraud in part on Congress’ decision to expand unemployment benefits during the pandemic while mostly relying on applicants to self-certify that they were eligible.”

Pam Bondi and Kash Patel are not going to be covering things up. If anything, they are on a mission to investigate, document and prosecute. When you combine this with the fact that so many politicians become filthy rich while drawing salaries that don’t begin to provide a satisfactory explanation, well fear becomes rational, even for a life-long liberal Democrat. We already know that politicians are famous for accepting all-expense paid trips etc. This is fine if you are a Democrat, unless you defy Biden, but bordering on treason for Republicans and grounds for execution if one is a Supreme Court Justice.

But if some of the stories are true, then at least some of these people were feeding directly from the public trough. No one should be surprised that USAID funds were spent on incredibly stupid things. That was more than predictable. But it sure looks like some of the funds may have gone directly past Go, without stopping, straight into the pockets of the usual suspects. This allowed them to avoid (reduce) the need for bribes in exchange for direct reimbursement.

In addition, when one considers the Russian Conspiracy allegations against Trump and the numerous lawsuits, it becomes obvious that there are only two options here. Either Trump is one of the most brilliant crooks in history, uniquely gifted in avoiding prosecution and covering things up, or the DOJ and the FBI were weaponized by Obama and Biden for political purposes. Either January 6^th was an attempt by Donald Trump to overthrow the government, or it was a plot to prevent any investigation into the 2020 general election. So far, the only version of events we have seen were produced by Democrats, their fawning supporters in the MSM and the January 6^th committee. Few are buying the results. That is about to change.

Perhaps we should start a poll. Vote on suggestions for top candidates to find themselves up Kash Creek without a paddle. This could become extremely fun to watch.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “If you strike at a king, you must kill him.”  Trump quoted this after the first failed impeachment attempt by democrats. That, of course, did not stop democrats from trying again. In the 2020 election, democrats thought they had finally stopped Trump by selecting Joe Biden to be “President” of the United States. Then when Trump started campaigning again, democrats tried again to destroy him with all those lawsuits and constant assaults by the MSM. There were even two assassination attempts against Trump, one that came incredibly close to succeeding when he was struck in the ear.

But they missed. Trump not only won the election, but he also won the popular vote, and he now has a Republican House and a Republican Senate ready, willing and able to take on the Democrat Party. It is now clear. Democrats not only missed Trump, but this was also a Miss, America. Anyone who has watched the public appearances of either Joe Biden or Kamala Harris since the election with an ounce of objectivity knows that when that attempted assassin shot and missed Donald Trump, we all dodged a bullet.

Now Democrats and their fawning supporters in the MSM are paying the prince. The Democrat Party is in complete shambles, with not even the hint of a future leader on the horizon. Instead, we are treated to a daily barrage of nonsense by the usual suspects including Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. They have nothing to offer except shrieks of outrage.

They are also missing something essential to the Democrat narrative. They are missing victims. That is so bad that CBS had to literally invent a victim for a 60 minutes broadcast. They don’t have any examples of people being denied Social Security or Medicare benefits. The closest they could come is that air crash in Washington, D.C. and the efforts to blame that on Donald Trump fell on deaf ears. Then, incredibly, they tried to blame a plane crash in Canada on the U.S. FAA. This is just how desperate they have become.

Yet, one has the sense that the real hammer is yet to fall. The DOGE team being led brilliantly by Elon Musk is not just looking for wasteful spending, they are looking for fraud. When one considers how many politicians miraculous become filthy rich after serving in Washington, D.C., the stench of fraud permeates the air. Yet at least so far, all the fingers are pointing toward Democrats. Perhaps that is because Democrats and the liberal left were in total control of the establishment and the deep state for decades. The MSM worked overtime to attack George W. Bush, they worked double over-time to cover up for Barack Obama. They switched over to attack mode as soon as Donald Trump announced his candidacy for President of the United States. They stayed in that mode during the entire Joe Biden Presidency, while shifting some resources toward covering up for Joe Biden.

There are no reports of conservative organizations being secretly funded by USAID or other government programs. Not a lot of conservatives were holding their hands out for the coveted green new deal funds.

The strategy by the MSM and the Democrat Party to focus solely on destroy Donald Trump resulted in a big Miss, America. They tried to strike a king, and they missed. He is now in office, totally motivated to fix this mess. He finally has a Republican House and a Republican Senate who understand the problem and are on board. His cabinet of extremely strong and determined people are being confirmed, without regard to the irrational opposition of Democrats who just can’t see their way past Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Trump has already implemented more change in the first month than anyone thought possible. Yet he is just getting started and don’t expect him to slow down anytime soon. It has already been fun to watch, and the best is yet to come.

Muhammed Saeed al-Sahhaf was the Miniter of Information under Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. He became internationally famous as Baghdad Bob because of his ridiculous claims intended to convince the world that Iraq was defeating the U.S. military. It turned out that Baghdad Bob was telling ridiculous lies because he believed those lies. The reason was that Saddam Hussein was famous was harsh treatment of anyone who gave him bad news, so people just lied. This was so bad that even after the American tanks had literally entered the capital, some Iraqi officers later admitted they had no idea the American military was this close.

Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf – Wikipedia

Baghdad Bob faded from public life after the war. No one was interested in hearing more obvious lies.

Today we have a whole team of Bag Dad Bobs, who appear to have been feeding at the public trough,  infused with Trump Derangement Syndrome in the MSM saying things about Donald Trump that are not only untrue, but they are also absurd. That begs the question. Are they really this stupid or do they just hope we are this stupid. One thing is certain, Trump is winning, over, and over, and over again.

Democrats are demanding transparency and facts, only to see the facts point the finger of blame right back in their face. Anyone paying a tiny bit of attention knows that the Federal Government is famous for inefficiency, stupidity, and corruption. It is absolutely no surprise to these people that DOGE run by Elon Musk is finding clear evidence of inefficiency, stupidity and corruption.

In case you are wondering if Democrats are really this stupid consider the following. David Hoge, now a Vice Chair of the DNC, suggested replacing Elon Musk with Pete Buttigieg.

David Hogg Demands Elon Musk Be Fired and Replaced by Pete Buttigieg

Ok, take a moment to stop laughing. Even the MSM chose to ignore this little bit of insanity.

Democrats are calling for war in the streets and in some cases bordering on demanding another assassination attempt on Trump. You may have noticed that there are no credible reports of major protests anywhere. Perhaps one reason is that Trump’s approval rating is soaring and there was one report that in some cases 70% of people agree with his actions.

Democrats Are at a Dead End, Unless They Learn From Trump – Rasmussen Reports®

To make things worse, there is the ultimate bombshell story out there. I do not subscribe to conspiracy theories, and this one falls into the category of being too ridiculous to even consider. But there is a whistleblower who has stated that Governor Josh Shapiro facilitated, planed and coordinated the attempted assassination of Donald Trum, with cooperation of Christopher Wray.

Did Gov. Josh Shapiro Plot Donald Trump’s Butler Assassination Attempt? Whistleblower Claims Surface

Hard to believe but we still don’t know all the facts, and any least some actions taken by the FBI are grounds for a raised eyebrow.

Donald Trump Demands Answers Over Assassination Attempts

At best, there was gross incompetence by the FBI and the Secret Service regarding this event. It was only miracle that Trump was not shot and killed. Democrats have shown a willingness to do almost anything to stop Trump.

In the meantime, Bag Dad Bobs are back, but there are fewer of them and even fewer people paying attention.

Once again, the liberal left and its fawning supporters in the MSM are fighting to overturn the results of a national election. Just as they did when Trump won in 2016, the MSM has returned to hyperventilating and doing everything and anything possible to destroy Donald Trump. They are horrified that he has taken office and taken control. Almost everything he has done is being challenged legally and Democrats are literally frothing at the mouth in futile attempts to stop Trump from doing exactly what he promised to do. Once again, they distort almost everything he has said or done, put it in the worst possible light, while absurdly claiming this is an attempt to save our democracy and promote truth, justice and the American way. But in doing this they are missing something really important. A lot of people are responding to the actions taken by Trump with loud applause, shouts of “about time” and in some cases tears of joy.

Trump repeated a story apparently told by Tommy Tuberville regarding Patrick Mahomes. I am not sure if Trump or Tuberville got the facts right, but either way this was hardly a crime against humanity. Instead, it was actually a rather flattering comment about Patrick Mahomes. Seriously, who cares? Obviously the MSM which is desperate to discredit Trump for something.

Now Trump is threatening to fire the board of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Before criticizing this decision consider the marvelous non-partisan choices like former Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and Democratic National committee finance chair Chris Korge, all appointed by Joe Biden at the same time he was busy pardoning family members. Democrats are famous for using places like the Kennedy Center to take cheap partisan shots at Republicans, particularly Donald Trump, while swearing allegiance to the hypocrits oath of only criticizing Republicans. Earth to Democrats if you want to depoliticize the arts and culture, start by depoliticizing the arts and culture. Just look at how the liberal left icons of virtual tried and failed to demonize Carrie Underwood for daring to sing at the inauguration. Granted a lot of Hollywood celebrities are thumb sucking left-wing liberals, but that doesn’t mean that only leftist radicals have the talent necessary to perform in public. This election should have taught everyone one thing; fewer and fewer people care about the misguided opinions of the privileged self-congratulatory elite unable to even glimpse the real world outside the tinted walls of their celebrity bubble existence.

There is a war of the winds taking place, but not the war being described by desperate members of the MSM desperately clinging to the final sinking straws of their credibility. It is instead a war against unelected bureaucrats who consider themselves entitled to manage all the secret levers of power without regard to the consequences of an election or the dictates of the President of the United States. They feel that they, the many, the proud, the deeply intrenched, the ultra-liberal, unelected should not be required to follow the dictates of the President of the United States, especially if that President is someone like Donald Trump. They cannot grasp the concept that getting rid of “libtards” like them is exactly why Donald Trump was elected and given a mandate to change.

But Donald Trump doesn’t care what they think, about anything. He is too busy draining the Washington D.C. swamp, and so far, every time he has lifted the lid off the MSM coverup, the stench of corruption and incompetence is overwhelming. Liberals and the MSM should be embarrassed by the corruption exposed at the USAID. But anyone who has ever watched a show like “Cops” quickly realizes that criminals almost never willingly admit guilt, they are far more likely to blame anything and everything on someone else, anyone else. It is only when confronted with the cold hard evidence of their obvious guilt that they even consider reducing the screams of outrage to a level required for anyone to hear the long list of criminal charges they have earned.

So, remember this, the louder the screams from Democrats and their hysterical supporters in the MSM, the more obvious that Trump is on target. Eventually those shrieks’ of outrage will be quietly but emphatically replaced with well documented indictments of those who have truly earned our collective scorn.

Always remember that if Trump were more like Joe Biden, a mentally incompetence corrupt racist marching to the illusionary drumbeat of the Washington establishment they would not bother challenging him. They only challenge people they truly fear, and right now there is no one they fear more than Donald Trump. The War of the Winds is on full display and the liberal left and Democrats in general are rapidly running out of air. Instead they find themselves standing by the side of the road, not quite sure exactly what force of nature just went by.

Democrats have been screaming that the events surrounding January 6^th, 2021, was evidence of a plot by Donald Trump and his supporters to overthrow the government of the United States. Some have even compared this to the civil war.

They continue to demand that people declare on their mother’s grave that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. They shriek to the heavens that this is the big lie that makes Donald Trump so dangerous.

They are fighting furiously to save the 5,000 FBI agents and employees who participated in the four-year nationwide witch hunt for anyone who farted near the capital on January 6^th, 2020. That would be 5,000 out of 38,000 employees. Obviously, it was vital to hunt down grandmothers who took selfies within the Capital on January 6^th.  Tracking down terrorists, criminals, drug cartels, and the person planting pipe bombs on the same day, not so much.

They continue with this absurd narrative for one simple reason. If this hoax is destroyed, it will be proof positive that it is Democrats who will do anything and everything to steal an election. Even if it means putting innocent people in jail for long periods of time.

If Democrats have been lying about January 6^th, which happens to be accurate, then they have surrendered their last shreds of credibility. All you need know about January 6^th is that Donald Trump authorized the use of the National Guard before the event.

Trump did call for Nat’l Guard troops before Jan. 6, ret. Gen. Kellogg says

The MSM continues to suppress this story. There is a reason for that. It is impossible to reconcile the “Trump directed an insurrection” with this simple fact.

Even Snopes admitted this was true, with this incredibly misleading analysis:

Were Requests To Deploy National Guard Initially Denied During Capitol Riots? | Snopes.com

 “The Department of Defense denied the report but acknowledged that they had not acted upon the request immediately.”

January 6^th was a bad day, for Donald Trump, for Republicans and for the country. Mike Pence folded like a cheap umbrella and rushed through certifying the 2020 election. Then congress went home for the holidays, leaving the country facing four years of Joe Biden. He spent 40% of his time on vacation, which is probably the best thing that happened during his Presidency. Nothing was better four year later. Nothing.

Democrats still don’t understand the significance of January 6^th. A majority of Americans did not buy this nonsense. They voted for Donald Trump. Despite enormous sums of money spent pushing propaganda on the MSM, censoring Facebook and Twitter, the ranting and raving by Democrat politicians, and the weaponization of our legal system, most people understood something really important. It is Democrats who refuse to abide by the results of an election. January 6^th was an organized attempt to overthrow the government of the United States. But it was not done by Donald Trump or his supporters, it was rather done by his political opponents.

The majority of people who voted in November understood exactly what happened in 2020. They took the 6^th, understood it, and voted for change. They voted for freedom. They voted for Democracy. In the end, all Democrats in their self-righteous lust for power, without regard to the cost, succeeded in accomplishing was, to quote Admiral Yamamoto, awakening a sleeping giant and filling it with a terrible (wonderful) resolve.

We have all seen the face(s) of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (“DEI”) for a very long time. There was a time when it seemed like every senior management position was always a white male. There is no doubt that in at least some cases, a more qualified person with a different skin color, religion or gender was denied the opportunity for such positions of power. That was and is wrong. Unfortunately, this was replaced by DEI, which did not replace such prejudice with a standard based on merit and performance, but rather on another form of discrimination, this time directed against white males. The result is obvious to anyone watching their television screens following any major disaster. The person in charge is often someone who checks off one or more of the diversity buttons. Since the primary requirement is so obviously diversity, equality and inclusion, it should not be a surprise that people assume the reason this person got the position was because of diversity, equality and inclusion. This means that in some cases, a person who actually did earn the position solely on merit and accomplishment is unfairly painted with the same brush of assumed incompetence.

I am reminded of when I had the privilege of listening to Margaret Thatcher speak at a private luncheon in Los Angeles. Most of the people in attendance were in the insurance industry. After she spoke, one young professional looking female stood up and asked her: “What did it feel like to be the first female Prime Minister of Great Britain.” Thatcher just stared at her for what seemed like an eternity. Then, in a very stern voice, she said: “I was NOT the female Prime Minister of Great Britain, I was THE Prime Minister of Great Britain.” The entire room leapt to its collective feet and applauded.

If you read one of the liberal news outlets today, they will describe DEI something like this:

What is DEI and why are companies changing views on it?

“DEI is a hiring practice designed to create a diverse and equitable workforce ensuring all employees have equal opportunity regardless of their background.” That sounds great, but it is a lie. It is not based on equal opportunity, it is based on discriminating against people who do not meet the desired racial, ethnic, religious, gender or LGBTQ identity. There is nothing equal about this, it just replaced one unacceptable environment unfairly discriminating in favor of white males to another unacceptable environment unfairly discriminating against white males and anyone else who falls outside the scope of political correctness.

We don’t know what caused that awful crash in Washington, D.C. but we already know some things. We know that the helicopter was apparently flying above 200 feet, which would have been a serious error. We know that there was only one Air Traffic Controller on duty, when the standard is for two controllers, one for helicopters and one for airplanes. We know that on at least two prior occasions, one happening the day before this tragic crash, pilots of passenger planes had to take evasive action to avoid colliding with a helicopter at the exact same airport.

Pilots had reported near-misses with helicopters at Reagan National Airport in the years before the deadly crash | CNN

Reagan Washington National Airport is located just across the river from Washington, D.C. There have been many suggestions to move the airport to a safer location, but this has always been summarily dismissed by congress, Dulles International Airport is located 29 miles away. It was considered far more important that VIPs can get out of town as quickly as possible.

As with any other disaster, Democrats and far too many members of the MSM will try to blame this on President Trump. Some even reported that he fired 3,000 air traffic controllers. That lie spread like wildfire. We did have a President who fired over 11,000 air traffic controllers because they went on strike. That President was Ronald Reagan. He did it because he said those who hold positions of public safety cannot be allowed to hold the rest of us hostage.

The next time you are on a plane, if you are like me, you probably won’t care what the pilot of that plane looks like. You just want to have confidence that he or she knows how to fly that plane safely. The same is true of the doctor scheduled to operate on you. Seems pretty obvious, which is why it is obviously so difficult for far too many Democrats and the MSM to grasp the concept.

Donald Trump has taken over and the results are instant and obvious. Those who oppose him are weeping, wailing and gnashing their teeth, terrified that the Orange Crush train is mowing down the opposition.

World leaders have been flocking to Trump since the day of the election. Joe Biden was just ignored, as ancient and irrelevant history. People, like Zuckerberg and Bezos, who laughed at Trump and mocked him not that long ago are now scrambling to find a seat on the Orange Crush train. They may not like where this train is headed, but they know it is moving fast and ignoring or trying to block it would be an exercise in futility.

Much of the narrative about Donald Trump has been totally debunked. Obviously, a majority of Americans didn’t buy this nonsense. Yet there is still an incredibly large number of true believers who cannot grasp the concept that they could possibly be wrong. This is not actually new. The Apostle Paul wrote about this in Romans 1:22

ROMANS 1:22 KJV “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,”

Incredibly people convinced themselves that  a person can miraculously change their gender by considering themselves to be the opposite sex. They selected people based on things like LGBTQ status, skin color or even gender identity, without regard to merit, while arguing that it is unfair to discriminate against anyone for these same factors. The results were what should have been expected, except for those who have deluded themselves into a perpetual state of refusing to see what is beyond obvious.

Rep Byron Donald (R-FL), who happens to be black said the following: “What Donald Trump’s election is about, is bringing competency and reality back to D.C. in the White House, regardless of their races, regardless of their religion, regardless of their creed.”

He nailed it. Donald Trump is doing the exact same thing he did on “The Apprentice” and later “Celebrity Apprentice.” He is picking people based on who he thinks has earned the job and he doesn’t hesitate to fire someone who fails to measure up. He has been in office for less than a week and this is happening all over the government. People who previously believed themselves a permanent, untouchable,  part of the establishment are finding themselves out of a job. They are being replaced by people, who like Trump, are determined to put things back on track.

The Orange Crush in picking up speed and the pace is likely to increase. He has already started on his plan of action and once his cabinet is fully in place, it is going to be increasingly difficult to even show this train down.

Donald Trump visited Southern California to survey the damage done by those fires. He was greeted by Governor Gavin Newsom, who was waiting patiently for Trump to come down the stairs, smiling and promising to “work together.” Mayor Karen Bass, missing in action, tried and failed to confront him and was humiliated in the process.

Wise people will get on board the Orange Crush train. Those who ignore this, or try slowing this train down, will find themselves standing by the side of the road, not quite understanding what just went by.

Yesterday the National prayer service was held at the Washinton National Cathedral. Here is a list of participating clergy:

• Medha Bhagwat, Chinmaya Mission Washington Regional Center, Silver Spring, Md. (Hindu)
• The Rev. Thomas L. Bowen, Shiloh Baptist Church, Washington, DC
• Peter K. Christensen, Washington D.C. Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
• Bishop LaTrelle Easterling, Baltimore-Washington and Peninsula-Delaware Conferences of the United Methodist Church
• Dr. Muhammad Fraser-Rahim, Masjid Muhammad | The Nation’s Mosque, Washington, D.C.
• The Rev. Cynthia Lapp, Hyattsville (Md.) Mennonite Church
• The Rev. John Molina-Moore, National Capital Presbytery (PCUSA)
• Bishop Leila M. Ortiz, Metropolitan Washington Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
• Matthew Rega, International Buddhist Committee of Washington, DC
• Rabbi Susan Shankman, Washington Hebrew Congregation
• Dr. Rajwant Singh, Sikh Council on Religion and Education
• Chief Jesse J. Swann, Jr., Piscataway Conoy Tribe
• The Rev. Aaron Tinch, New Hope AME Church, Waldorf, Md.

Musical guests included:

• The Cathedral Choir
• The Cathedral Contemporary Ensemble
• The United States Marine Chamber Orchestra
• Tenor Christopher Macchio

Hymns included “For the Healing of the Nations,” “The Star-Spangled Banner,” “God of Our Fathers,” “America the Beautiful” and “Great is Thy Faithfulness.”

Imagine listening to over 15 members of the “clergy,” some of which did not appear to use English, drone on, and on, and on. This was interspersed with musical performances equally difficult to understand accompanied by an enormous and extremely loud pipe organ.

If the intent were to encourage prayer, it worked. There was a camera focused on Donald Trump, Melanie Trump, J.D Vance, Usha Vance, and the members of the Trump family. You could see the pain in their eyes as they tried to endure the agony without showing any outward signs of boredom or disrespect. It was so bad I could not resist laughing.

Then Bishop Mariann Budde felt the need to give a 15-minute sermon lecturing Trump about the urgent need to cater to the needs of the LGBTQ community and illegal aliens:

“There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives.”

Nice. Another liberal Democrat preaching the need for unity by focusing solely on their delusional world view, incapable of even considering the possibility of error.

The service droned on for about 1 hour and 50 minutes, then it took another ten minutes or so for all the clergy and the musical performers to slow march toward the exit before Trump was finally mercified allowed to escape.

This reminded me of when some “friends” decided we should all go to an opera. There were four couples involved. It was just awful. My wife and I sat there, trying to endure, hoping to not offend. Then I noticed the other couples were all equally impressed, desperately trying to suppress the giggles. This was so bad that I didn’t realize they were singing in English until after the intermission.

I know some people probably thought this was wonderful, a truly inspirational prayer service for the country. As for me, after watching the Trump and J.D. Vance families endure it redefined what it means to be a “prayer warrior.”

Imagine plugging your electric vehicle into your home charger and going to bed. Sometime overnight, the power went out because high winds toppled a power line. You didn’t know this because, well, you were sleeping. You wake up to an evacuation order because of a massive wildfire caused by the same high winds. Your only vehicle is that cute and extremely expensive electric vehicle Governor Gavin Newsom demands for every home in California. Oops. Your battery is dead. You try to evacuate but first you need to find a charging station. Oh, there’s one right ahead. Oh my, that doesn’t have power either. Wait, there is another one a couple of miles down the road. But when you get there, if you can even get there, the line of electric vehicles waiting for a charge extends for blocks if not miles. If there is a state-of-the-art super-fast charger, it may only take about 15 minutes to get a charge. That is 15 minutes per vehicle. But that is only for tiny, tiny electric vehicles, or hybrids, which run on, gasp, gas. If you have a BMW i4, Chevrolet Bolt, Tesla Model 3, or Lucid Air, it will take between 7 and 10 or even 13 hours. In the meantime, the fire is getting closer, the air is getting hotter, the winds are getting stronger, the traffic is rapidly escalating from awful to stalemate. People behind you are abandoning their cars and running to escape the fire.

The following article in the PJ Media describes all this. Sadly, it may even understate the problem:

And Suddenly, Gavin Newsom’s Electric Car Mandate Looks Pretty Dumb to LA Fire Victims – PJ Media

And by the way, if you leave your EV in your home, and it catches fire consider your house going, going gone. In addition, the toxic smoke is so bad that firefighters hesitate to even approach your home.

But at least you have the sweet consolation of knowing that the EV you purchased for about twice what it would have cost for a gas-powered vehicle is worth about half of what that gas powered vehicle would be worth today.

Welcome to the H*ll Hole California. Where in exchange for high taxes, high crime, lousy roads and spreading homelessness, you get sky high housing costs, and extremely expensive homeowners’ insurance, if available at all. By the way, the fire department doesn’t have any water to protect your home. Meanwhile that super rich Hollywood celebrity living on the top of the mountain has his or her home protected by private fire departments charging $2,000 per hour (using gas-powered fire trucks). All of this is a gift of the party of the people, for the people, by the people.

Meanwhile the fire chief in LA is begging homeless people to stop lighting fires. How unfair.

But it could be worse. You could have a governor, whining about why none of this is his fault, while blaming everything on Donald Trump and then begging Trump to come to California to sort things out. But wait, there’s hope, Joe Biden still has over 48 hours left in office to fix this.

On April 12, 2011, I wrote the following article on my blog:

THE CALL OF THE TRUMPET – SCOTS HONORSCOTS HONOR

“Donald Trump has managed to make the subject of Obama’s birth certificate a topic of conversation. That alone is a major accomplishment…Donald Trump is moving rapidly up the Republican Presidential leaderboard. Some people watch him because they like him, some people watch him because they hate him. But they all watch him… Donald Trump is a very strong leader with incredible communication skills. I believe that the people are hungry for that and just may be willing to put up with the baggage in exchange for pure competence.”

A lot has happened since then, but I still think the secret to Donald Trump’s remarkable success is that he is willing to enter the “TO H*LL WITH IT“ (THWI LIGHT Zone). Prior to Donald Trump, Republicans were terrified to tell it like it is. They feared being labeled racist or sexist by Democrats. The problems with Obama’s birth certificate were beyond obvious, but ignored by most Republicans not named Donald Trump, and covered up by the MSM. The MSM has been totally engaged in ignoring the reality about Democrats and their policies, since day one, and is more likely to cover things up than to report responsibly. That trend continues to this day, but it is rapidly changing. Donald Trump not only won re-election, but he also proved that the Democrat Party, and its’ fawning supporters in the MSM, are totally out of touch with a majority of Americans. People want and are demanding change.

During his first term, Trump was not really prepared for the Presidency. He did not understand how hard the deep state would work to prevent him from governing. He underestimated the willingness of the MSM to lie and distort everything about him while simultaneously ignoring if not embracing the evil reality that had taken over the Democrat Party.

When you think about this, why would anyone be surprised? The first Democrat President was Andrew Jackson, a devote racist who forced native Americans out of their traditional homes and shoved them on the trail of tears to Oklahoma. It was the Democrat Party, particularly in the South, which was the party of systemic racism for much of its history. It was southern Democrats who started the Civil War to retain slavery. It was the southern Democrats who passed the Jim Crow Laws. And it was the southern Democrat Senators who fought civil rights and even filibustered the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Then, suddenly, the MSM and Democrats promoted the lie that it was Democrats who were the party of the little guy and Republicans were the racists who trampled on the rights of people of color and native Americans. Sadly, they succeeded in selling this lie for decades. It was only after Trump’s first term when the economy’s steady growth, accompanied by very low inflation and reduced regulation allowed African Americans to start to rise about the poverty level, not because of handouts but rather because of an economy offering a hand up, that things started to change.

Trump was driven out of office and whether this was solely the result of irresponsible reporting by the MSM, slander by the Democrat Party or what sure looked like the most untrustworthy election in American History, the result was the same. Joe Biden was inflicted on this country as a mockery of a President with predictable results. He is now spending his last hours as President trying to do as much damage as possible.

But a miracle happened, the Democrat Party and its black female trojan horse marching to the drumbeat of the MSM were defeated and literally humiliated by Donald Trump. Now he is scheduled to be inaugurated for the second time, next Monday. Joe Biden’s influence on this nation will last no longer than it takes for his rumored hourly bowel movements. But this time Trump is ready, willing, and able to take on the mission. Both he, his cabinet and Republicans in congress have adopted “THWI LIGHT” zone tactics. They are no longer even pretending to feel compelled to negotiate and compromise with those totally unwilling to deal in good faith with them. There is a new gang of cabinet members who have already demonstrated a willingness to not only take on the pathetic liberal leftwing naïve Democrat Senators, but they are also smacking their haughty, arrogant, yet stupid faces with a harsh dose of reality. Trump has accomplished the impossible. He has put together a team that not only includes Republican politicians, but it also includes people like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. This is a team of strong leaders ready, willing, and able to take it on. The entire world took notice. The “THWI LIGHT Zone” has already started, and the results will be increasingly visible starting Monday Afternoon.
