Two months after Los Angeles fires, guess how many permits have been issued in Palisades

Posted on March 26, 2025 by | 1 comment

America’s Worst Governor: Gavin Newsom

The criminal mismanagement by democrat politicians resulted in nearly 12,000 structures being burned earlier this year in wildfires. Over 5,300 structures were destroyed in the Palisades Fire.

After the fires, Governor Newsom vowed to clear red tape for rebuilding. The governor signed an executive order to suspend portions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the California Coastal Act for fire victims planning to start over with their homes or businesses. He told NBC:

“I’m worried about time to getting these projects done. And so we want to fast-track by eliminating any CEQA requirements. Any Coastal Act changes that we’re making. I want to make sure when someone rebuilds that they have their old property tax assessments and that they’re not increased.”

After returning from a trip to Ghana while her city burned, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued an executive order to “to clear the way for Los Angeles residents to rapidly rebuild the homes they lost in the ongoing firestorm and lays the foundation for businesses to plan their rebuild.”

How do you think things are going in that area with regards to rebuilding? About as well as one could have predicted. From KABC:

“More than two months after the Palisades Fire, only four permits had been issued as of Monday for homeowners to rebuild their properties — a low figure that one Los Angeles city councilmenber said was “concerning.”

Residents in the Palisades Fire zone are trying to figure out how to move forward, but there are several obstacles in the way — including the city’s permitting process and L.A.’s looming budget deficit.

Mayor Karen Bass hired a private consulting firm to oversee the recovery effort. The contract with Hagerty Consulting is worth $10 million. Some councilmembers say that raises questions.

“We have city departments who know how to do this recovery, who have been involved in recovery efforts in the past,” Councilmember Monica Rodriguez told ABC7. “And yet they can’t be afforded the opportunity to hire the personnel that they need, but we can give a $10 million contract to an outside agency to help write a report for us.”

Read the whole story here.

At this rate, it will take over fifty years to rebuild that area.

USAID waste & corruption as of Feb. 3, 2025

Posted on March 22, 2025 by | 2 comments

From WhiteHouse.gov:

For decades, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been unaccountable to taxpayers as it funnels massive sums of money to the ridiculous — and, in many cases, malicious — pet projects of entrenched bureaucrats, with next-to-no oversight.

Here are only a few examples of the WASTE and ABUSE:

The list literally goes on and on — and it has all been happening for decades.

Under President Trump, the waste, fraud, and abuse ENDS NOW.

Surprise! Not.

Big names like Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey are connected to the USAID corruption.

Tesla domestic terrorists getting caught

Posted on March 22, 2025 by | 5 comments

Hate-filled Democrats are vandalizing Tesla cars, both privately-owned and in showrooms, because they object to what Elon Musk is doing in eliminating BILLIONS of taxpayers’ dollars in corruption and waste from federal government agencies like the super-corrupt US Agency for International Development (USAID) .

What these vandals do not seem to know is that many Tesla cars are equipped with cameras–front, sides, and back–and so the criminals are captured on camera committing their crimes, keying Tesla cars. And many have been arrested.

So, not only are Democrats hateful and in favor of government corruption and waste, they are also stupid.

Below are pics of some Tesla vandals taken from the video below.

Democrats appear to endorse forced abortion

Posted on February 16, 2025 by | 5 comments

Demorats never met an abortion they didn’t like. Apparently that also includes forced abortions.

A mother in Louisiana obtained abortion pills online for her then 17-year-old daughter from a Dr. Margaret Carpenter in New York. According to NOLA, the pregnant teen was going to have the baby but the mother of the teen conspired with the good doctor to obtain the abortion pill. The mother then coerced the pregnant teen to take the pill. The teen girl accepted the ultimatum despite initially pleading to keep the baby.

The mother obtained the abortion pill by completing a questionnaire and Dr. Carpenter fulfilled the prescription without a direct consultation.

From Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry:

“A minor in Louisiana got pregnant. She was excited to have a baby and was planning a gender reveal party. Her mom conspired with a NY doctor to get a chemical abortion pill in the mail and coerced her to take it. She ended up in the hospital. There is only one right answer in this situation: the doctor must face extradition to Louisiana where justice will be served. We owe this to the minor and the innocent life lost.”

District Attorney for Iberville, Tony Clayton, believes there is clear evidence of a crime as a West Baton Rouge Parish grand jury indicted Dr. Carpenter and the girl’s mother for criminal abortion by means of abortion-inducing drugs, a new law passed last year by Shreveport Republican state Sen. Thomas Pressly.

Louisiana prosecutors and Gov. Jeff Landry want to extradite Dr. Carpenter, yet Gov. Kathy Hochul has declined to comply with the extradition order.  From NY Post:

“Carpenter and her company, Nightingale Medical, PC, also face the same charge — but have evaded arrest thanks to Hochul’s refusal to comply with Lousiana’s extradition orders submitted Thursday.

“I want to make sure everyone in the state knows: Keep your hands off this doctor,” Hochul said upon receiving the paperwork.

“I’m respecting the laws of New York. Am I supposed to make those subservient to laws of another state?” 

New York Attorney General Letitia James also piled on, calling the indictment a “cowardly attempt out of Louisiana to weaponize the law against out-of-state providers,” adding that the indictment is “unjust and un-American.”

You know what else is unjust? Forcing a girl to go against her will and kill her baby. It appears these demorats are now supporting forced abortions. They are in good company, I guess.

What a sword to die on. Literally.

In last days of Biden presidency, EPA gave $20B to NGOs with no oversight

Posted on February 14, 2025 by | 5 comments

This is nothing less than outrageous.

During the last days of the Biden administration, in the name of “climate justice,” the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gave $20 BILLION of taxpayers’ hard-earned money to eight “entities” that would then distribute to NGOs and others at the entities’ discretion without transparency.

This scheme is the first of its kind in EPA history, and was purposely designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight.

The EPA’s new administrator, Lee Zeldin, said: “Never in EPA history has anything like this ever happened. And there was a decision to park $20 billion of tax dollars at a ‘green’ bank just outside of government to lessen the amount of oversight that government has over the funds, to give it to eight different entities – not like $20 billion on 40,000 different entities; we’re talking about eight entities – and then those entities are distributing the funds. You’re getting further and further removed with less government accountability.”

Fortunately, the new team lat the EPA has found the $20 billion and will terminate the financial agreement with the bank and return the funds to the government. (Sources: Daily Wire; NewsMax)

The EPA administrator culcable for the last-minute $20 BILLION giveaway is Michael S, Regan, a Biden appointee.

More winning: AG Bondi orders DOJ to pause federal funding for sanctuary cities

Posted on February 6, 2025 by | 2 comments

Yesterday, Pam Bondi was sworn in as Attorney General of the United States. She immediately went to work for President Trump and the American people who voted for him.

The Blaze reports that hours after taking her role, AG Bondi directed the Department of Justice to halt federal funding to sanctuary cities. Fox News reports: “Bondi also has directed the DOJ to identify and evaluate all funding agreements with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that provide support to illegal aliens. She is also directing litigating components of the Justice Department to investigate instances of jurisdictions that are impeding law enforcement, and directing they be prosecuted, when necessary.”

Pay attention, democrats. You are now on notice.

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker

Gov. Pritzker has vowed to “stand in the way’’ of certain Trump deportation policies, including those targeting “law-abiding’’ illegal migrants. From NY Post:

“When we’re talking about violent criminals who’ve been convicted and who are undocumented, we don’t want them in our state,” Pritzker, 60, told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “We want them out of the country.

“We hope they do get deported,” he said, referring to Trump’s policy of targeting illegal migrant criminals first under his mass deportation plan.

But “we also have a law in the books in Illinois that says that our local law enforcement will stand up for those law-abiding undocumented people in our state,” he said.

Hey, fat boy: If people are in the country illegally they are not “law-abiding.”

Democrat governor Tina Kotek

Oregon’s governor, Tina Kotek, has also declared she will fight our federal immigration laws. From WJAC:

“Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek said in a video posted Sunday she will uphold state law prohibiting government officials and police from helping federal authorities with enforcing immigration laws.

“I will uphold Oregon’s sanctuary promise laws – laws that were passed with almost unanimous bipartisan support in the 1980s,” she said in the message shared on social media platform X.

Oregon passed a law in 1987 barring police from taking into custody people who aren’t U.S. citizens if their only offense is being in the U.S. illegally. Currently, the state prohibits public agencies from collaborating with the federal government to enforce immigration laws.”

Plenty of other democrat governors plan to fight President Trump on this issue. Be prepared, governors, for your state’s cities to quickly lose access to federal tax-payer dollars.

You may believe that your “resistance” is going to win. But make no mistake: There’s a new and hardened President Trump in office. One that is ready to “fight, fight, fight!”

Trump proves liberals wrong: Threat of tariffs is one way to play hardball

Posted on February 3, 2025 by | 4 comments

 

President Trump continues to make good on his promise to protect America’s borders.

Last week he threatened several countries that have been complacent in allowing the invasion of America (both illegal aliens and drugs, particulary fentynal). Trump threateded Columbia, Venezuela, Mexico, Canada and China with tariffs if they didn’t help control their own borders, accept back their citizens, and work to stop the flow of drugs.

Liberals immediately screamed about how the tariffs would be devastating for Americans and that we were all going to face the wrath of tariffs through higher prices at the grocery store and the pump.

A couple days later and President Trump proves them wrong, as usual.

Columbia caved to Trump’s tariffs and agreed to accept their criminal illegal aliens as well as provide transportation for them to get back home.

Venezuela caved and agreed to accept the country’s illegal aliens living in the U.S. Bonus: Six American hostages held in that country were returned to us.

Mexico has now caved as well. From LA Times:

“Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, in a post on X, said she spoke to the American leader Monday morning and that they came to an accord that delays for at least a month Trump’s threat of 25% tariffs on all Mexican goods imported to the United States.

In exchange, she said Mexico had agreed to reinforce its northern border with 10,000 members of its national guard in order to combat migration and the trafficking of illegal drugs.”

Canada, being that the government is full of progressive moonbats, believes they can win the game against President Trump. Not everyone, especially those who run a real business, agree. From NY Post:

“The CEO of Canada’s second-largest publicly traded company says Canadians want their government to do all the things that President Trump is demanding — and slammed outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for not preventing the trade war.

“Canada thrives when it works with America together. Win by helping America win. Trump believes that Canada has not held its side of the bargain,” Tobi Lutke, who co-founded Shopify, wrote on X.

“These are things that every Canadian wants its government to do, too. These are not crazy demands, even if they came from an unpopular source. These tariffs are going to be devastating to so many people’s lives and small businesses.”

Time will tell if Canada will go the way of the South American countries and work with Trump to stop the inflow of immigrants and drugs at our northern border.

UPDATE: A couple hours after I posted this I see this headline at The Gateway Pundit:

Justin Trudeau Caves to President Trump on Tariff Showdown – Will Implement Massive Border Plan to Stop Flow of Fentanyl

“Trudeau announced a short time ago that he will implement their own massive border plan to stop fentanyl, which has killed perhaps millions of Americans. Like Mexico, this includes 10,000 frontline personnel but also so much more. In the meantime, tariffs will be delayed.”

These countries better get use to the new sheriff in charge of the U.S.A. They aren’t going to be dealing with ‘ol senile Joe anymore. President Trump is playing hardball. And he’s bound and determined to win for the American citizens.

Oakland, California opens largest abortion clinic in U.S.

Posted on February 2, 2025 by | 3 comments

The city of Oakland in the S.F. Bay Area of failed blue state California is already notorious for its crime-ridden streets and its corrupt mayor. See DCG’s post, “Decades of democrat leadership on display in Oakland, CA.”

Now, Oakland is hellbent on sinking even lower.

California Catholic Daily reports that the largest abortion clinic ever just opened for business in Oakland:

The Planned Parenthood abortion business is opening its largest abortion business ever. The massive facility will be located in Oakland, California and could kill babies in abortions up to birth.

Located at 1400 Broadway, the Planned Parenthood Mar Monte Barbara Lee Oakland Health Center opened its doors on December 17 with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled for February 1, 2025.

Planned Parenthood officials expect it will be able to kill thousands of babies. The opening of the Oakland center is seen as a strategic move to attract more abortion customers coming to the Bay Area on flights from pro-life states for abortions.

The health center is named in honor of Congresswoman Barbara Lee, a radical abortion activist who never voted pro-life. Lee was delighted an abortion center that kills children will be named after her.

In a statement, Lee expressed her gratitude, stating, “To have a Planned Parenthood health center with my namesake is a great honor, and one I do not take lightly.”

The opening comes on the heels of the death of Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood’s former president.

In the recently released 2022-2023 fiscal year annual report titled, “Above & Beyond,” Planned Parenthood states it performed 392,715 abortions. That means Planned Parenthood killed 1,075 babies in abortions every single day even though the abortion giant claims its main focus is merely “women’s health care.” In other words, Planned Parenthood kills 44 babies every hour.

“Above & Beyond” also shows that 34 percent of Planned Parenthood’s revenue, $699.3 million, comes from “government health services reimbursements and grants,” or taxpayer dollars.

Thank God for President Trump who, on Jan. 24, signed an executive order reinstating the Mexico City Policy which forbids using taxpayer dollars to fund nongovernmental organizations that perform or promote coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization. (Fox News)

California Secession approved for signature gathering

Posted on January 25, 2025 by | 7 comments

CBS News reports, Jan. 24, 2025, that a new effort to place a measure on the ballot that would ask California voters to approve the state’s secession from the U.S. has been cleared for signature gathering.

The measure, introduced by Marcus Evans of Fresno, must receive at least 546,651 signatures from registered voters, which is 5% of total votes cast for governor in the 2022 election, by this July 22.

According to the text of the measure, the state would be required to create a 20-member state commission, picked at random by the Secretary of State, to study California’s viability as an independent country in 2027 and to publish a report the following year.

The measure would also place the following question on the November 2028 ballot: “Should California leave the United States and become a free and independent country?”

If the ballot question is approved, which would require at least 50% voter participation and 55% voting “yes,” the proposal would declare a “vote of no confidence in the United States of America”, but would not change the state’s government or its relationship with the U.S. The measure would also call for the removal of the U.S. flag from all state buildings.

According to a fiscal analysis from the Legislative Analyst’s office, the measure would cost the state $10 million in election-related costs and to form the new commission, along with $2 million in annual costs to operate the commission.

Evans has been part of other initiative campaigns calling for the state to secede, including a proposal following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 presidential election. Evans said their movement has a better chance compared to eight years ago. “We believe that now is the best time to Calexit – NOW we are better situated to make Calexit happen than in 2016,” he said.

UPDATE:

The San Diego County-based Independent California Institute  has released a new poll purporting that more than 60% of Californians agree that they “would be better off California if peacefully seceded from the U.S. at some point in the next 10 years.” (Source: CalMatters, Jan. 24, 2025)
