The Morning Report — 1/9/25

—J.J. Sefton

 

Good morning kids. Whether it’s a burning cross on a lawn, or burning cities (either from BLM/Antifa molotov cocktails or the ideologically-driven incompetence that’s now burning LA to the ground) or immolating sleeping subway riders, the match that set them off were all struck by Democrat/Leftists.

DEMOCRATS — Now they have become DEATH, the destroyer of worlds. All of the misery, the suffering, needless death, destruction, dislocation and waste of blood, treasure, economic and most crucially human potential since the founding of this nation until the present moment is directly the fault of, or have been made exponentially worse by Leftists, Socialists, Progressives and their political epicenter in the Democrat party. An ocean of blood and tears over the past 200-plus years has been spilled and continues to flow because of them.

 

And it’s not because they are merely wrong and/or have good intentions. No, It is all for their evil eternal quest for absolute power. I defy anyone to try and refute that because it simply cannot be refuted.

And with that preamble, I give you the shambling, corrupt, amoral, soulless humanoid atrocity known as Bernie Sanders:

“80,000 people told to evac.uate. Blazes 0% contained. Eight months since the area has seen rain. The scale of damage and loss is unimaginable,” the senator began before blaming the devastation not on poor fire management but on climate change. . . Sanders made no mention of the fact that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) — who was not in LA but on a trip to Ghana when the blaze took off — cut roughly $20 million from the city’s budget for fire services. Perhaps what is more, she proposed even higher cuts.

In a way, this self-gassing, criminal commie scumbag is sort of correct. For sure the climate in California has indeed changed. In a mere two generations, he and his ilk have lain waste to what used to be the world’s 6th largest economy, and made what was a shining paradise and beacon of freedom, free enterprise, promise and unlimited potential into a literal flaming communist hell on earth. One merely has to look at Cuba or Zimbabwe to see where this nation was headed, and may yet head if Donald Trump’s miraculous RE-re-election is merely a speed bump on the road to hell and not the slamming on of the brakes and the throwing of the machine into reverse at flank speed.

Anecdotally, from a friend who lives on the West Side of LA, which could go up next. . . he said that the water bombers and other aircraft that dispense fire retardants were grounded, not because of what was reported as dangerously high winds but so that Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants could fly in and hold a press conference at a fire station with Governo Noose ’em so he could belch out how wonderful the government response has been.

President-elect Trump nailed it.

“Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social Wednesday.“He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didn’t work!), but didn’t care about the people of California. Now the ultimate price is being paid,” Trump added.

The president-elect said he will “demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA! He is the blame for this.

“Newscum.” Trump himself or someone on his team must lurk here! The salient point is that the Red Green commies, along with preventing the damming of certain rivers as well as construction of reservoirs that would have collected rainwater and snow melt to be used in case of wildfires and also to avoid the expense of relying completely on the water from the Colorado River. But no, we have to protect the Delta Smelt, the and the Snail Darter. On top of this, California many years ago banned the controlled burning of dead sections of forest which would have mitigated if not prevented wildfires over the past 20 or so years, especially the Malibu wildfires of ’93 that I remember when I lived in LA back then. All to prevent the release of evil Carbon. We got Carbon in the atmosphere now out the wahzoo, eh Greenies? In any case, Carbon is life. Meh, it’s like banging your head against a wall to try and tell them.

You’ll also see from the links that all kinds of firefighting equipment was sent to Ukraine! And that Karen Bass in her wisdom cut millions of dollars of funding from the LAFD. All while partying with the Mugu scammers in Ghana!

Ah yes, DEI strikes again, Dissolution Evil and Incineration!

It’s not all bad news for the 64% of Los Angeles County who voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. As they flee the brutal wildfires in terror, watching everything they own turn to toast, they can take comfort in knowing that their Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) — which is powerless to stop the inferno — overfloweth with sweet diversity, as planned.The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Bureau will focus on building and fostering a Department committed to engaging the voices and respecting the humanity of all its members, reflected in how it handles recruitment and hiring, workplace conduct, retention, and promotion. The DEI Bureau will be up and running and fully staffed by January 2023. It will be led by Deputy Chief Stephen Gutierrez, the Department’s first Chief Equity Officer. Thank God. I’m sure Californians would hate to be pulled out of a burning house by a fire department rife with filthy “toxic masculinity” and sorely lacking men in panties.

Marxism hates many things, including beauty, private property, success, self-sufficient people, and that “racist” meritocracy. 
If nothing else, LA can burn with pride knowing the feckless fire chief checks a box…

… The fire engulfing L.A. shouldn’t be a surprise. Every institution, whether it’s our airlines, a basketball team, or a fire department, will crumble once the DEI animals spread through them like cancer. And the LAFD is one of those institutions taken over by Marxists.

 

And then there’s this item that no doubt will make your head explode:

Despite the widespread devastation left behind in the wake of Hurricane Helene, Buncombe County, North Carolina property owners were expected to cough up their property taxes earlier this week.Midnight on Monday Jan 6 was the deadline for property owners to pay their taxes as Public Information Officer Stacy Woods told residents, “North Carolina law does not permit property tax waivers or exceptions for natural disasters, including hurricane Helene.”

The thought of collecting taxes on property that has been destroyed or that no longer exists, is shocking to residents who are still in the process of recovering from the unprecedented destruction caused by the storm.

. . . Meanwhile, the question remains as to whether the county will move to seize properties from residents for non-payment of taxes, as allowed by law.

 

I’m going to take a wild guess and state Buncombe County NC likely went 100% for Trump in the past three elections and that Los Angeles County CA DID NOT.

 

Wow, I stand corrected, per this from commenter The Lower Depths:

11 Buncombe County NC voted against Trump all three elections. In fact, since it’s full of upscale trendies (there’s a college town there, I think?), it’s one of the few places in the whole country where Dims are better off now than they were in 2008.Dim percentages by election in Buncombe:

2004 – 49%
2008 – 56%
2012 – 55%
2016 – 54%
2020 – 60%
2024 – 61%

And yet FEMA still leaves them to twist in the wind. Were it not for the Amish community that came in to help with providing/building shelter, Appalachia would be much worse off.

How much do you want to bet that Gavin New-world-order-some is not going to demand the payment of taxes for destroyed homes. That is, unless the State’s IRS can determine the voter registration political affiliation of the affected residents. And they can and likely will.

After all, what better pretext to seize property and turn it into housing for migrants or other regime supporters. Let’s see if Pelosi ups her positions in Blackrock and Vanguard. Remember again that California’s state coffers are in the red by multiple billions. And I do NOT think The incoming Trump administration is going to give a shit that the LA Times will run the headline “Trump to LA: DROP DEAD.”

Frankly, maybe a bail out, and a rebuilding plan but on TRUMP’s terms might be a shrewd move politically.

All that said, as we all knew at the time of the hurricane, FEMA apparatchiks specifically were directed not to provide assistance to any homes that had Trump signs on their lawns or that they likely knew or correctly assumed were registered GOP families or pro-Trump.

As I have good friends and some acquaintances and a cousin in two of the affected areas, their politics is irrelevant to me. I want to know they are safe and sound. Compare and contrast with the actions of the junta in the wake of Helene.

Lefty Angelenos, pucker up because you can kiss Trump’s ass in Macy’s window as he is not going to abandon you. While I do not want money thrown around willy nilly, like a high speed rail boondoggle. But some form of rebuilding plan is both the moral and politically astute thing to do. All done without the graft, wastage and bullshit regulatory garbage, especially the environmental madness that added fuel to these fires, literally and figuratively.

Prayers for strength, courage and above all safety to all affected and for the firefighters on the front line.

Have a good day.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

—CBD

 

We are the enemies of the state. It is difficult to find any other interpretation for the fact-free claims that “White Supremacy” is the biggest threat against America, yet the progressive movement has made it an article of faith among its acolytes. And that is powerful evidence that their politics has transcended temporal things and is now a religion.

The evidence that Islam and China are far more significant threats against America is everywhere. The various terrorist groups masquerading as Islamic Freedom fighters are quite open with their ultimate goal, and that is the destruction of Israel, America, and the West, and replacing their governments with Sharia-compliant, authoritarian governments. China has infiltrated our government, has spent billions of dollars on manipulation of our culture, and its military is actively attacking our technological infrastructure with hackers and hardware-driven espionage.

But a few lunatics in the mountains of Idaho espousing white nationalism are the problem?

Biden FBI Called White Supremacy ‘Most Persistent, Lethal Threat’ Before Islamist Terrorism Attack

The FBI says Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. citizen from Texas, is responsible for the deadly New Year’s Day terror attack in New Orleans and that he likely did not act alone. Law enforcement is still looking for others who may be involved. 

Jabbar was not the threat on President Joe Biden’s radar. Jabbar did not fit the profile of the terrorists Biden, his crooked Department of Justice (DOJ), and feckless Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have been searching for.

While the DHS left U.S. borders wide open for any criminal or harmful ideology to enter, the DOJ made “domestic violent extremism” a “national priority area,” numerous reports show.

In June 2021, the National Security Council announced a plan to target domestic terrorists, mostly “those who promote the superiority of the white race” and “militia violent extremists.” The FBI called them “the most persistent and lethal threats.”

That is code for the kind of people who went to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. [bolding mine]

Bingo. That is exactly it. Say what you will about the progressive hierarchy in Washington…they may be out of touch with the real America, but they aren’t stupid. They know exactly what they are doing, and creating a lasting illusion that traditional American virtues of self-reliance, individual responsibility, competence over color or religion, and the belief in limited government are hallmarks of a violent, subversive counter-culture in America is their goal.

 

That’s why the floodgates on our borders were opened…to drown traditional American culture in a sea of compliant, freedom-averse drones who will reliably support the deep state’s plans for the foreseeable future.

And if 10,000 PLA operatives slip across, and a few thousand Islamic suicide bombers get in? Well, eggs…omelets…etc.

The FBI and the Justice department simply don’t care that much about the possibility of massive terrorist attacks or comprehensive sabotage of our infrastructure. They are obsessed with the final destruction of American Exceptionalism, and by tagging all of us who believe in it as budding terrorists, they have the legal (by D.C. standards) authority to degrade it as a political lodestone and turn it into a sound-bite attached to every bit of violence perpetrated by pretty much anyone. And if they are wrong? Well, the first impression is usually the most lasting one.

Like the laughable lie about guns in the Capitol building on January 6th! Yes, there were guns, but they were all in the hands of the murdering Capitol Police and various undercover government cops. And all of those deaths? Yes…there were two, and they were unarmed protesters, killed by the jackbooted thugs of government.

“The Great Replacement Theory” is supposedly debunked, but the evidence is before us, and it is hard to argue against it. Open borders, favoring immigration from non-Western countries, demonizing traditional American culture — it’s all part of the process, and whether it is by design or an unintended consequence is immaterial.

The complete consolidation of power within the Democrat/Progressive movement is the goal, and they will use whatever tool is best. If that means the destruction of traditional American culture, then that is just fine.

Perhaps it is also time for traditional American culture to use the same tools…demonization of progressive political philosophy, making their shock troops (Antifa, BLM, etc) socially unacceptable, returning to the baseline of classic anti-communist assumptions, and renewed support for American Exceptionalism.

Sounds like a good start for President Trump!

The Moral Equivalence Of The Left Is Structural, And Evil

—CBD

Morality is a living, breathing, changing thing, and can be manipulated to accommodate the needs and desires of humanity. In fact, a moral imperative from one era can be flipped on its head as political needs change.

Sounds nuts, because it is.

Morality is a fixed point in our world, and to treat it as a malleable political or philosophical tool is to reject the very point of it. Whether one accepts the source of that morality as God, or one simply accepts its existence, morality provides a powerful structure with which to navigate the world, and the assumption of a flexible moral structure leads to boundless evil.

The Enlightenment may have accelerated our scientific inquiry and provided a structure for religious and intellectual freedom, but it also gave us a platform for moral relativism that perversely allows some to reject those freedoms in favor of a rigid orthodoxy of personal pleasure and the rejection of anything even remotely noble or edifying about the human condition.

By rejecting the concept of God or religion as the source of a moral code, and replaced it with the historically shaky idea that man is perfectible by his own devices, we are confronted with things like abortion as practically a sacrament of the new-age religion of personal entitlement and pleasure. The idea of a good greater than oneself is relegated to some quaint and naive view of man that has no place in a modern world. Thus the idea of love of country, of respect for tradition, for honor, for care for one’s fellow man is an anachronism.

Just make sure that government is taking care of our access to personal pleasure, and it doesn’t matter what else they do! 400 channels and endless entertainment on demand! So what if people who think differently are languishing in jail? So what if our country (what’s that if not a cute and passé idea) is being overrun by looters and murderers intent upon taking what we have built? We can still get great Thai noodles delivered at 3:00am while we smoke high-quality legal marijuana! And that pesky fetus will be gone in a few days so we can get back to what feels good.

Just make sure that those horrible religious people who believe in antiquated ideas like human life is precious stay out of our neighborhoods! Arrest them! We need to get to the next protest against Israel…you know, that tiny country borne out of the ashes of the Holocaust that simply wants to live in peace! They are occupiers or colonists or genocidal…or whatever…our Middle Eastern Studies instructor told us that!

And let those illegals (what a mean word!) across the border. Give them food and clothing and money and plane tickets to everywhere. Well, except here. We don’t really like them, so keep them in those horrid flyover states that don’t even know how to make pour-over coffee! That silly talk about American Exceptionalism is so boring!

Sure, I am making fun of the silliness of the intellectually flaccid soft left. But they are the useful idiots of the committed left that has been working assiduously for 100 years to undermine the foundations of America, and they are doing a great job.

Maybe it’s time to return to those supposedly dated concepts of Duty, Honor, Country. They worked for a very long time, and while our technological society is amazingly advanced, have we not regressed in other, more important things?
