The Morning Report — 1/10/25

Good morning kids. While the title of the estimable Daniel Greenfield's essay provides instant fodder to create one of our trademark memes here at the HQ, to wit, submitted for your approval, or not, or embellishment/alteration as is the wont of the Horde:

I had tickets to see Three Lesbians Named Kirsten open for Men Without Hoses at the Hollywood Bowl in '93, but it got cancelled by the Malibu wildfire.

The most important thing to know about Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley is that she is the first LGBTQ fire chief in the history of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

It’s also the only thing worth knowing about the woman in charge while Los Angeles burned.

Crowley’s status as the first LGBTQ fire chief appears at the top of her bio on the LAFD site. It’s what got her on the Kelly Clarkson show under the headline, “Meet LAFD’s First Female & LGBTQ+ Fire Chief” and made her one of the marshals of the Los Angeles Pride Parade (some of whose attendees no longer have homes after the wave of fires.)

But DEI wasn’t done with the LAFD just yet. Not until two other lesbian ‘Kirstens’ were also running the LAFD.

Kristina Kepner, the first lesbian Assistant Chief and a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School for Managing Diverse Organizations, was accused of a domestic violence incident involving her girlfriend. Kristine Larson, who has a degree in Sociology, headed ‘Equity on Fire’, an organization complaining that the LAFD was sexist and racist, was then rewarded with the title of the LAFD’s first lesbian Equity Bureau Chief with a $399,000 salary.

Diversity mandates had led to three lesbians named some version of ‘Kirsten’ running the LAFD.

Meanwhile, Jamie Brown became the LAFD’s first lesbian Training Commander. Her accomplishment was being the only one of the four lesbians running the LAFD who wasn’t named ‘Kirsten’.

Many glass ceilings were being broken, but there was no one who actually knew how to fight fires. Unless it was by asking the fire about its preferred pronouns.

If only Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union and Red China were run by this kind of lunacy. Meh, their insane asylums and prisons are filled with sane people insane enough to reject glorious socialism and who yearn for liberty. Hell, it was those regimes, especially the Soviets starting in the 20s through the collapse of the Berlin wall and now the Red Chinese infiltrators and our own homegrown traitor infiltrators (Infill Traitors!) in and out of government who have mind- and body-raped three generations of Americans into dismantling and destroying our society from within. As for Nazi Germany, the tragedy is quite a few refugees before and after the Second World War (Theodore Adorno and Hebert Marcuse aka the Frankfurt School) laid the groundwork for all this woke madness that has undermined the foundations of the greatest nation and society in human history by capturing American academia and holding it hostage right up to the present time.

If this is a story, and it's not a one-off. I've had many similar ones over just the last year if not many more over the past four for sure.

The University of Utah’s medical school paid over $75,000 to be a member of the influential Association of American Medical Colleges, the DEI-focused organization that facilitates medical education throughout North America, according to an invoice shared with The Daily Wire. 

The invoice, obtained through a public information request by Do No Harm, an organization opposed to the politicization of medicine, shows that the University of Utah’s Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine paid $75,760 for a year-long institutional membership in the AAMC starting on July 1, 2024. The AAMC counts as members all 158 American medical schools accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), which the organization co-sponsors. 

The AAMC has been accused of harming medical education through leftist political initiatives, including its commitment to DEI initiatives, “anti-racism,” and promoting transgender ideology. A comprehensive report from Do No Harm highlights the full extent of the AAMC’s DEI programs. 

Now take that story and substitute every profession, from janitor to nuclear physicist, and you get what was known as the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee, with such individuals as Billy Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn and others who from the 60s to the present day fantasized, plotted and committed actual acts of terrorism to overthrow and destroy the United States of America from within and replace it with, let's just say the metaphorical equivalent of what we are seeing in Pacific Palisades, even if it takes a literal inferno that sweeps from coast to coast. Hence the name Prairie Fire.

Founded in 1975, the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee (PFOC) describes itself as “a grassroots activist organization” that works to bring “social change” to an American nation it characterizes as rife with “racism, sexism, homophobia, classism and imperialism” — a land governed by “a capitalist system that favors a select few and oppresses the majority.” PFOC derived its name from a 1974 book published by the Weather Underground Organization. Titled Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism, this screed spurred the creation of radically minded “Prairie Fire” discussion groups in cities across the United States.  Portraying American history as an uninterrupted narrative of brutality and “imperialist expropriation,” PFOC accuses the U.S. of “systematically us[ing] its military, political and economic might to dominate and control the government, people and resources of other nations for its own benefit.” The organization refuses to recognize the United States as an entity with a legitimate right to exist — on grounds that the country’s creation and historical development were steeped in what PFOC views as irredeemable wrongdoing: “The early colonists stole Native American land and killed indigenous people. White settlers enslaved millions of Africans and used their labor to build the U.S. . . The issues of major concern to PFOC include the following:

White Supremacy: “White supremacy remains a dominant ideology in the United States. This country was founded on the belief that white people are superior to people of color. … White supremacy is … a system of privilege that benefits all white people and permeates every aspect of our society … a society that blames people of color for poverty and crime.” As evidence of the degree to which white supremacist attitudes suffuse American life, PFOC cites “racial profiling by the police, extreme bias in the application of the death penalty and in sentencing, and denial of adequate education” for minorities.

If the term White Supremacy seems familiar, it should since that has been the constant drumbeat from the DemoKKKrat-Left since the electrifying victories of Donald Trump in 2016 and 2024, and the equally electrifying persecution of him and us via the theft and its aftermath of the 2020 election.

On that score, the Supreme Court has turned down his request to have his sentencing on sham charges by hack in black Juan Merchan of menace before his inauguration. Donald Trump is America's Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Alfred Dreyfus all rolled into one ORANGE MAN-DELA.

Pivoting back to the LosAngeles wildfires, Climate Change strikes again!!!! This time in the form not of a hockey stick computer model but a Homeless scumbag playing with fire...

How — and why — the fire was started is still not clear, he added, but the blaze is “being investigated as a crime.”The suspect is a homeless man in his 30s, according to Fox LA’s Elex Michaelson, who added that firefighters “appear to have gained the upper hand” on the blaze.

Would not surprise me if this guy was paid to start the fire by the Earth Liberation Front to blame global warming, ditto to be used as cover to light the other fires in the region.

There are quite a number of links speculating that these wildfires are the ultimate mugging by reality that potentially if not likely could turn California Red. My gut tells me that it will likely destroy the political futures of Newsome and Bass. But for people, especially lifelong liberals to look in the mirror, if they can find one in the smoldering rubble of their homes and pull an Alec Guinness River Kwai moment and ask "What Have I done?!!!" is too much for me to expect.

The Democrat/Leftist bench is dark and deep, so likely they will place the blame on global warming and that pair's ineptitude for sabotaging Comrade Stalin's glorious plan and the glorious socialist cause and replace them with two more just like them. Lather, rinse and Napalm again 10 years from now.

As Trump might say, we shall see. I hope he can make political lemonade from this cyanide laced Jonestown flavorade, and Make California normal again.

On a positive note, the moldering corpse of Jimmy Carter is heading for wherever. It deserves a spot in the Marianas Trench, next to his hero, Osama bin Laden.

Have a great weekend, and prayers for deliverance, safety and strength to all of those affected by the wildfires.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
