The Morning Report — 1/13/25

Good morning kids.

So, let me get this straight. I've seen quite a few stories about how Newsom is supposedly going to be ruthless on looters taking advantage of the wildfires. Looking back just four-and-a-half short (yet interminable) years ago, one wonders what was his attitude on the looters who took advantage of fires that they themselves set in the wake of fellow lowlife criminal George Floyd winning a stupid prize for death by eating his crystal meth stash, after passing a counterfeit Jackson at a convenience store, while resisting arrest. Not just LA, but several dozen cities across America were given the Lemay treatment and the Left excused it as an understandable and even laudable behavior because of the blood libel of institutional racism and white supremacy. To arrest and prosecute anyone would undermine a bedrock foundation of Democrat/Leftist political power and influence.

Try to disregard that nakedly obvious disgusting phony moralizing from the hack propagandist who scribbled this dreck in the LA Times and just look at what Newsom is quoted as saying in light of the present circumstances.

“You’ve lost patience. So have I. You are right to feel wronged. You are right to feel the way you are feeling,” Newsom said to protesters, adding that “society has a responsibility to you to be better, and to do better.”
Newsom said Monday that outside groups were seeking to “create havoc,” but he declined to name specific groups. Residents of Los Angeles complained of lawlessness and a lack of police presence, while others said law enforcement had escalated violence toward peaceful protesters. In Oakland, police arrested three people early Monday in a shooting at Police Department headquarters, and a woman was shot in the suburb of Walnut Creek in connection with the unrest, police told the Chronicle.

. . .Newsom largely remained quiet over the weekend and after he held a news conference on Friday. The governor released a statement late Saturday on the deployment of the National Guard and commented again on the protests midday Monday. Hours earlier, President Trump spoke with governors and called for a harsher police crackdown. Asked several times about the president’s comments, Newsom declined to directly respond to Trump or criticize him. In videos from the front lines of the protests, organizers decried the looting and sought to distinguish their groups from the bands of vandals and thieves that shattered windows and made many Californians fear public security was spinning out of control.

Newsom said Monday that outside groups were seeking to “create havoc,” but he declined to name specific groups. . .

The governor began his Friday news conference with a monologue that delved into his own privilege, his children’s response to Floyd’s death and their attempts to understand what it all meant. “We’ve got to fundamentally change who we are and recognize what we’re capable of being,” he said.

The governor echoed that message Monday. “You’ve got to change hearts, minds,” Newsom said. “You’ve got to change culture, not just laws. And we have to own up to some very difficult things. The black community is not responsible for what’s happening in this country right now. We are. We are. Our institutions are responsible. We are accountable to this moment.”

Meanwhile, back to present day in the smoldering ashes of Pacific Palisades and the smoldering ruins of a significant chunk of our society and culture. Here is the totally unsurprising headline of the day for a number of reasons I'm sure you can see, unlike probably the overwhelming majority of Democrat true-believers and run of the mill generational/reflexive/low information Democrats and Dupes.

A reported illegal immigrant was arrested by police after California residents feared he would use a blowtorch to start wildfires in Los Angeles. . .

. . . Per ICE sources, the man seen in a viral video being subdued by residents & arrested by police w/ a blowtorch near the #KennethFire in West Hills is an illegal alien from Mexico named Juan Manuel Sierra-Leyva. He is in custody on a probation violation & has NOT been charged w/ arson. I’m told ICE will place a detainer request on him with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, but they do not expect it to be honored due to California’s Sanctuary State law. I’m told Sierra-Leyva will have a court appearance tomorrow. . .

. . . The arrest comes as California legislators debate legislation that would provide another $25 million to help the state’s large population of illegal evade deportation during President Donald Trump’s second term.

Like New York City, the government of Los Angeles welcomes migrants because they serve as cheap labor, apartment-sharing renters, and welfare-aided consumers.

So a wetback with a blowtorch sets LA ablaze not one week after a fellow traveler across the Rio Grande, also invited in by Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and the Dems, immolates a sleeping subway rider in NYC. At least the latter was charged for what I have read, but his ultimate disposition is TBD.

There has been much speculation that LA's transformation into Dresden on the Pacific might very well be a tipping point that turns the state Red, politically. Aside from the fact that the political machine that controls the electoral process will simply not allow that to happen, even if for just one future election there is a critical mass of voters that could put a Republican back in Sacramento or even LA city hall.

Let's say for argument's sake, that LA and even all of California flips red. It is worth noting that this past election has seen much of the state flip red than at any time in the past 40 or so years. The big obstacle of course are the large metropolitan Sodoms & Gomorrahs that have a stranglehold on the rest of the state. Historical anecdote: Ironically enough, Operation Gomorrah was the RAF's codename for the firebombing raid on Hamburg in 1943 that wiped out the city and which Albert Speer declared a few more like that would cause the collapse of Nazi Germany.

Meanwhile, the propaganda mills are still pounding out the same garbage about mythological "Climate Change" while no doubt ready to either bury completely the illegal alien angle or otherwise continue the hoary old theme of racist bigoted xenophobia and not open borders being the real problem.

Despite all of this as well as the documented criminal negligence and malfeasance of everyone from Newsom and Bass down the line to the incompetent hoseless fire chiefs, remember that mission #1 is protect the movement, "Even if it short-dicks every cannibal in the Congo" as Gunny Hartmann famously said.

As I have pondered on these pages and on our podcasts about this and every other failure and catastrophe we have experienced with the Democrats in charge, over the last four years and indeed the past century and longer, incompetence vs. ideology.

I think I have settled on this sentiment, suitable for a Rosie Grier macrame in a frame on the mantlepiece:

THE IDEOLOGY IS THE INCOMPETENCE

So as to this mass deprogramming of Leftists, I can't see it, despite what's going on right in front of their eyes. Replacing a Newsom and a Bass is the path of least resistance for the traitorous, murderous Democrat Left. To accept the facts on the ground, that 20 -plus years of banning controlled burning, not damming rivers and building reservoirs, allowing criminal illegal aliens to run wild and to hire police, firefighters and other critical vocations dealing with public safety and security based on the most trivial of criteria as opposed to ability and competency would be to create a crisis of conscience in every Leftist that would shatter a worldview they've held perhaps since childhood and certainly over the past several generations because of indoctrination in schools.

Remember, Nikita Kruschev denounced Stalin. He did not denounce Communism. As evil as Stalin was, it was the system he promoted and used as cover to butcher countless millions.

To tweak the lyrics of Billy Joel . . . Democrats Didn't Start the Fire — Democrats ARE the Fire!!!

• Despite record rainfall last year, wildfire-ravaged California could not store it due to a lack of infrastructure in the Democrat-ruled state. Critics have challenged Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom’s call to avoid politicizing such issues, claiming that political mismanagement is a core problem.The escalating fires have endangered thousands of residents, homes, and natural habitats, sparking a debate over the state’s water management and political decisions. Edward Ring, director of water and energy policy at the California Policy Center, argues that the state’s focus on climate change as a primary cause of the fires overshadows more pressing issues. He cites outdated water reserve systems and flawed forestry management practices as significant issues.

• But today, the political climate and Democratic demographics have shifted: The anti-Israel movement is ascending. The anti-Hamas opposition is dying out. And the impulse to define yourself by doing the opposite of Trump will be too irresistible to resist. Which is why 2025 will be a banner year for antisemitism. And it’s also why 2026, 2027, and 2028 will be even worse. That’s the final legacy of the Biden years: He mainstreamed antisemitism in the Democrat Party. And unlike most of his “legacy,” this one will last for decades.
