2 days after Golden Globes mocked God came the L.A. inferno

Even if you’re an atheist, why would you stoop to mocking God?

Remember the French philosopher-mathematician-physicist Blaise Pascal’s (1623-1662) “wager” argument for believing in or, at least, behaving like you believe in the existence of God?

Pascal reasoned that individuals should adopt a lifestyle consistent with the belief in the existence of God due to the potential outcomes. A rational person should believe in God because if God exists, the individual stands to gain immeasurably, such as an eternity in Heaven, while avoiding terrible consequences, notably an eternity in Hell. Conversely, if God does not exist, the individual incurs only finite losses of certain pleasures and luxuries.

Not content with mocking God, Golden Globes MC and unfunny comedienne Nikki Glaser then mocked the Pope.

Whatever you may think of the Roman Catholic Church, do you think Glaser would do the same skit mocking Islam? And, isn’t it interesting that mockers of Christianity (such as Glaser, Madonna, and Sinéad O’Connor) always elect to heap their scorn and mockery on the Catholic Church, but not on non-Catholic denominations?

This YouTube commenter says it well:

And here’s what happened to others who openly mocked God:

No empathy: Biden boasts about great-granddaughter while L.A. burns

Senile-in-Chief Joe Biden was in fire-ravaged Southern California on Jan. 8, 2025, to sign a disaster declaration alongside failed Gov. Gavin Newsom, but Biden used the somber occasion to share what he called “good news.”

During the briefing, Biden announced that he is now a great-grandfather. “The good news is, I’m a great-grandfather as of today,” the 82 year old told reporters. “I’ll remember this day for a lot of reasons.”

He then appeared to mix up the gender of the newborn before declining to take questions from the press. Biden was reportedly at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in L.A. for the birth in the morning before attending the fire briefing. (Source)

Meanwhile, on Jan. 9, following last week’s $2.5 billion to Ukraine, Biden sends another $500 million to Ukraine while L.A. burns. That’s priority for ya.

Los Angeles inferno from criminal mismanagement by Democrat politicians

This is an excellent video by a foreign (Australian) news source because our MSM or legacy media are corrupt.

Elections have consequences

This was how Los Angeles County voted in the November 2024 election (source):

In the 2018 gubernatorial election, Los Angeles County voted for Gavin Newsom by 80-90% (source). Newsom Cut Roughly $150 Million From Wildfire Prevention Budget In The Past

In 2022, Democrat Karen Bass was voted as mayor of Los Angeles by 54.83% (vs. 45.17% for Democrat Rick Caruso). (Source)

I weep for the pets and wildlife that are killed or injured in this wholly manmade inferno, the destruction of which is so mind-boggling it’s biblical in scale and ferosity.

Travesty: Senile Biden gives Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros and Hillary Clinton

This is nothing less than outrageous and a mockery of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian award of the United States, alongside the Congressional Gold Medal, created to  recognize people who have made an especially meritorious contribution to (1) the security or national interests of the United States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.

The New York Post reports, Jan. 4, 2025:

President Biden bestowed woke Democratic megadonor George Soros with the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Saturday — outraging critics  who ripped the selection as a “national disgrace.”

Soros, 94, was among the 19 people chosen to receive the nation’s highest civilian honor at the White House, a group that included U2 frontman Bono, actor Denzel Washington and  former senator Hillary Clinton — who also was panned as a recipient.

“George Soros spent millions electing soft-on-crime politicians that let criminals wreak havoc in our major cities,” Montana Senator Tim Sheehy told The Post. “Hillary Clinton abandoned our Navy SEALs in Libya.”

“Joe Biden’s decision to give Hillary Clinton and George Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a national disgrace,” the GOPer added….

Biden repeatedly thanked Soros for what he called, “all you’ve done to help this country.” …. Soros, who is worth more than $7 billion, has spent decades financing radical left wing  causes such as Defund the Police,  and groups including Black Lives Matter.

He has shifted tens of billions of dollars of his personal net worth over to his Open Society Foundations, which funds a multitude of progressive projects around the world, has also heavily invested in races to install far-left district attorneys in major American cities, which have seen crime numbers surge.

Soros-backed DAs, including Manhattan’s Alvin Bragg, Chicago’s Kim Foxx, Los Angeles’ George Gascón and Philadelphia’s Larry Krasner, have been ripped for pursuing a Marxist agenda that includes promoting lawlessness in the guise of “criminal justice reform,” over prosecuting criminals….

Former NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly said he  could not “think of anyone who has done more to undermine the rule of law in this country than George Soros.”

The Hungarian-born hedge-fund billionaire gave more than $175 million to Democrats during the 2022 midterms, according to Federal Election Commission records.

In 2024, Soros funneled another $60 million for House and Senate Democrats and other left-wing causes through his Democracy PAC, records show.  In 2020, Soros put up more than $200 million to “dismantle systemic racism.”

Soros and his allies have also contributed to a blight in major cities through “harm reduction” drug policies, critics have said. In Gotham, a Soros-funded nonprofit raised eyebrows for handing out free needles, crack pipes and even devices to “cook” heroin….
