Newsom’s solution to prevent homes from burning? Ban plants/shrubs within five feet of homes

Posted on February 8, 2025 by | 3 comments

You have to wonder how long California and the Los Angeles area will put up with the most feckless and incompetent leadership that they have ever elected.

After the California wildfires that devastated so many people, Gov. Newsom signed an executive order enacting new wildfire prevention rules.  Homeowners are now required to clear flammable materials (including mulch, bushes and plants) except for mature trees within five feet of their homes.

According to Newsweek, state officials and researchers claim that embers are responsible for 90 percent of structures destroyed by wildfire.

Clearing plants five feet around houses will stop this ferocious fire?

Given that the Santa Ana winds can blow up to 100 miles per hour, you have to wonder how not planting bushes within five feet from one’s house will actually save a structure.

I mean, I don’t believe that lawns and flower beds are what fueled the catastrophic fires to begin with. You know what did? A combination of ineptitude among many, many leaders.

First, there’s the Los Angeles Mayor, Karen Bass. Despite the National Weather Service warning of the potential for extreme fire conditions, the good mayor decided to take a taxpayer-funded trip to Ghana to attend the inauguration of their president. Once she learned of the disaster unfolding in her city, she headed back to the USA. Stone-cold silent she was as areas of Los Angeles went up in flames.

Another thing that fueled the fires? Not. Having. Water.

Santa Ynez reservoir: EMPTY at the time of fires.

Instead of being full of water, as a reservoir should be in a fire-prone area, the reservoir sat empty, leaving water supplies and hydrants dry after hours of intense firefighting. The reservoir sat empty for a year after a tear was discovered in its rubber-like protective cover. But no worries, leaders at the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power are now hiring an independent engineer to assess whether the empty reservoir contributed to the failure of its water system during the Palisades fire.

Mayor Bass nominated LADWP CEO Janisse Quiñones with an annual salary of $750,000. Janisse knew about the empty reservoir and broken hydrants months before the fires. Quiñones past employer is also linked to fire scandals. She was previously a top executive at electricity company PG&E, which went bankrupt over liability for several massive wildfires in California.

Another failure of leadership at LADWP to provide water to known fire zone areas during a wildfire event.

Failure at so many levels and to date, no accountability for any of their actions. But you, homeowner, better not plant a rosebush for grandma by her front door! No pretty flowerbeds along your front window sills!

No doubt Newsom’s executive order will ensure that the wind can only blow burning embers four and a half feet or less. You democrats never learn…

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!”

WA State wants to punish gun owners who have firearms stolen

Posted on January 15, 2025 by | 8 comments

When Seattle was safe…

I grew up in Washington State and moved to a red state over a decade ago.

The most populas county (King, where I grew up) was a decent and safe place growing up. As teens we would go downtown to the Seattle Center and run around by ourselves (go on the rides, monorail, etc.) with no incidents.

Fast forward after decades of democrat control and Washington state (and their most populas counties) are no longer safe.

Last September, a 2023 FBI crime data report showed that for the last five consecutive years when comparing Washington state to the national average, murders are 408% higher, vehicle thefts higher by 144%, and burglaries, robberies, and aggravated assaults are all higher since 2019.

Governor Jay Inslee (first elected in 2013, out of office as of this month) enacted some of the strictest gun control laws during his tenure in Washington state.

But for democrat gun grabbers, it is never enough. Now the demorats in the state legisltature are proposing even stricter gun storage laws and if your firearm is stolen because you didn’t store it according to their mandate, one could face very stiff penalties.

From MyNorthwest:

“A new bill aimed at curbing rising gun thefts throughout the state has been drawn up for lawmakers to mull and debate in the Washington Legislature.

House Bill 1152 proposes specific requirements for storing a legally owned firearm for gun owners (they would have to store their firearms in a hard case or lock the trigger in a soft case) and significant penalties if the gun is stolen. The owner of a gun that becomes stolen could face a $1,000 fine, and if the thief who stole the firearm is someone who legally cannot own a gun and commits a violent crime with said gun, the gun owner could be charged with a separate felony.

“For example, in your vehicle, if you have to have the pistol, it has to be stored and unloaded in a container that’s opaque, locked, hard-sided and fixed to the vehicle. It has to be concealed and your vehicle has to be locked. If it’s a rifle or a shotgun, it needs to be stored in a soft-sided case and have a trigger lock,” Andrew Lanier, producer of “The Gee and Ursula Show,” said on the show. “Now, if that gun is stolen, you can be liable for a fine of up to $1,000 if it is not secured. If someone steals that gun, it is a misdemeanor.

“If someone who’s not allowed to own a gun, say, a felon or a minor, steals it and gets possession, it is a gross misdemeanor,” Lanier continued in his explanation of the proposed bill. “If someone not allowed to have a gun gets your gun and commits a crime with it, say, for example, someone holds up to 7-Eleven, now it becomes a felony if your stolen gun that was unsecured was used in a crime that hurts someone else. And I need to point out a Class C felony is up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. I don’t think you would get that much, but it would also mean that you’re a felon and no longer allowed to own a gun.”

Read the whole article here.

Democrats have been doing their best to implement “backdoor” laws that limit gun ownership. They will do everything they can to punish legal gun owners in hopes of eliminating the Second Amendment.

Loved ‘ya growing up, Washington. Sad to say I will never move back to that once beautiful state.

I will stay put in my red state of Oklahoma. Our residents and politicians would never tolerate such an infringement upon our Second Amendment right. Which is just how I like it. Course the only drawback to living in Oklahoma is dealing with this:

No scruples or shame: Fired St. Louis DA abdicated her duties

Posted on January 9, 2025 by | 2 comments

Democrats have absolutely no shame. None at all.

Fired St. Louis DA (backed by George Soros) Kim Gardner is proof of that.

Former St. Louis DA Kim Gardner

From the Daily Mail:

“St Louis’ former DA took nursing classes during her taxpayer-funded working hours before being fired over soaring crime.  

Former Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, who was backed by progressive billionaire George Soros, spent 34.5 days attending classes at St Louis University in Missouri over two years instead of doing her public sector job. That’s according to a state audit released on Tuesday by State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick in a damning 71-page report.

The review also found widespread staff turnover, misuse of public funds and a large drop in the number of cases filed, referred and closed before she resigned in 2023.

Gardner quit after Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey took steps to remove her from office after she let too many cases, including homicide, go unpunished. 

She told auditors she had been pursuing a family nurse practitioner post-master’s certificate ‘to improve the office and bring mental health awareness’ to the office.

Other issues cited in the audit include $58,000 being spent on flowers, a DJ, car detailing, an office picnic, a chili cookout and her own legal expenses. Auditors also found difficulty in obtaining information from her office while she was in charge. 

Employees denied or delayed requests by auditors for two years until they had to respond due to court subpoenas.  The audit said that ‘full access to documents, personnel, and the office itself was only given after the new administration took over’. 

An additional $1.9 million was found to have been used to pay contracts for outside legal representation, new software, consultants, and office equipment.

She told auditors that some of the purchases, which also included $5,180 at a bar and grill and $2,585 in pizza were to ‘boost morale’, according to the St. Louis Dispatch.

Under her watch, murder in St. Louis hit a 50-year high and the city saw fewer and fewer felonies prosecuted.“

Read the whole story here.

None of this should shock any one. Garner was crooked from day one. One look at the long list of controversies on her Wikipedia page should tell you how rotten she was.

Dont hold your breath that she’ll be held to account for her reckless actions. In October of last year, Gardner was accused of misappropriation of funds by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. In a pretrial diversion agreement, Gardner formally admitted to the misappropriation of funds, agreed to remain crime-free for a period of 18 months, reported to a pre-trial services officer, and has to repay the misappropriated funds.

Sure is good to be a demorat.

Decades of democrat leadership on display in Oakland, CA

Posted on January 8, 2025 by | 4 comments

Outsted Oakland demorat mayor Sheng Thao (left).

Oakland, California has been under demorat rule for decades. As a result, crime, homelessness, and overall decay is on the rise within the city.

Mayor Sheng Thao, who started her term in January 2023, was recalled this past November by nearly 65% of the voters. She leaves behind a mess of a city in which many are now calling a “zombie apocalypse.”

Thanks to feckless leadership, Oakland now has a massive graveyard of abandoned cars and illegal dumping. Check it out:

Abandoned cars along UPRR in Oakland.

From the Daily Mail:

Oakland likened to ‘zombie apocalypse movie’ thanks to horrifying trend

“Oakland has been compared to a ‘zombie apocalypse film’ as the crime-ridden city has seen a recent up-tick in a horrifying trend where abandoned cars are left along the Union Pacific Railroad. 

A massive ‘graveyard’ of ditched vehicles, including GMC and Ford pickup trucks, cargo vans, sedans and Chevrolet Tahoes have consumed the area for years, but recently, the problem has only grown worse. 

The area has been plagued by illegal dumping, leading officials and angry residents to speak up about the issue, which they say depicts a set from a ‘zombie apocalypse film,’ the San Francisco Chronicle reported. 

Oakland residents are determined to make the illegal dumping ground a high priority for the struggling city. Oakland officials, who have been trying to tackle the surging issue for some time now, told the outlet they don’t have access to enough resources to fight the trend. 

What’s more is there is an issue with the location of the dumped cars, as it is technically owned by multiple parties – Union Pacific, Caltrans and Alameda County.  Union Pacific said it previously cleaned up the area in November, and plans to clear the impacted spot out again next week, the Chronicle reported. Meg Siffring, a spokesperson for Union Pacific, told the outlet the company is currently ‘working on a plan’ with the county and city to clean up the cars. 

Meanwhile, the Oakland Police Department said they have towed stranded vehicles, arrested people and installed barriers to try to fight the rising trend. 

Despite the department’s best efforts, the police union said they can’t fully clear the slew of vehicles because towing abandoned cars in the city is a job for the transportation department.

Although they came in to help, Oakland Police Sgt. Tim Dolan said progress has decreased since the transportation department took over because of training requirements and a heavy workload. 

‘It’s mind-boggling,’ Dolan said. ‘It’s an ongoing issue. But it’s just gotten out of control over the last few years.’ 

The city previously implemented surveillance cameras in dumping hotspots in 2022 in a bid to catch those abandoning the cars and other items in the junkyards. A total of 457 incidents were caught on camera from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024, but only 59 were given citations, the outlet reported. The city was unable to issue more citations because 23 percent of the vehicles did not have license plates on them.”

Read the whole story here.

City Councilmember Kevin Jenkins is the interim mayor until voters choose a new mayor in an April special election.

As of Monday, eleven candidates have filed campaign account paperwork to run for Oakland mayor in April, including former Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D), Johnny Gatlin, Wendy Adams, Tyron Jordan (D), Peter Liu (famous for his anti-semitic comments in a mass email), Mindy Pechenuk (a Trump supporter) Fabian Robinson (his Instagram profile shows him with Gavin Newsom), Derrick Soo, Elizabeth Swaney (an American who competed for Hungary in the 2018 Winter Olympics), Loren Taylor (D), Renia Webb (who has the endorsements of the founders of Moms Demand Action) and Larry Lionel Young Jr.

Choose wisely this time, Oakland:

California is worst state to raise a family

Posted on December 23, 2024 by | 4 comments

Surprise!

Not.

To go to the interactive map, click on the Consumer Affairs link below.

From Consumer Affairs, Dec. 10, 2024:

To determine the best states for raising a family in 2025, ConsumerAffairs compared each state on cost, safety, education, health care and quality of life.

The bottom five states for raising a family are all located in the West and South and face significant challenges in education and quality of life.

  • California ranks at the bottom, with poor scores in quality of life, affordability, safety, high child poverty rates, a shortage of libraries and bad air quality.
  • Texas follows closely behind, scoring poorly in health care, safety and quality of life. The state has the lowest pediatric health care score, with the highest percentages of uninsured children and families that can’t afford their children’s health care bills.
  • New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada round out the bottom, with poor public education and lower rankings in quality of life.

Vermont is the best state to raise a family in. It finished first in quality of life, sixth in child health care access and sixth in education. The top five states for raising a family are Vermont, Maine, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Wyoming.

Progressive policies in action: Seattle Police won’t respond to alarm calls without “supporting evidence”

Posted on September 30, 2024 by | 3 comments

Thanks to the liberals’ “Defund the Police” movement in 2020 and BLM’s campaign to disparage police, the Seattle Police Department has lost more than 700 officers in the past five years and is at its lowest staffing level since the 1990s.

The consequences of this? From Fox 13 Seattle:

Seattle Police: Officers won’t respond to burglary alarm calls without evidence

From the article:

“A triggered alarm system at a property in Seattle will soon require more information to get an officer’s attention. Seattle Police Department (SPD) announced a new policy for responding to alarm calls.

SPD’s interim police chief, Sue Rahr, announced the updated standards in a letter dated Sept. 13. She wrote that, beginning Oct. 1, “SPD will only dispatch officers to calls from alarm companies with supporting evidence, such as audio, video, panic alarms or eyewitness evidence that a person is illegally entering or attempting to enter a residence or commercial property.”

“The challenge with that is it’s only two weeks’ notice. We have to notify all of our customers, we have to change how we monitor those alarms, we have to change dispatchers on how they respond to alarms in Seattle,” said Woodman. “We’ve been told that [SPD] has been working on this for eight months, but they never reached out to the industry or the monitoring companies. So, we are asking that they now work with us and just give us some more time.” 

Woodman and others from Washington Alarm gave public comment on Tuesday during Seattle City Council’s Public Safety Committee meeting and full council meeting. They voiced their concerns, not only about the short notice from SPD, but also the impact on customers who don’t have audio or visual capabilities on their systems.

“Law enforcement and the security industry can work together to come up with a solution that benefits our customers in a way that doesn’t leave them stranded and vulnerable at the most dangerous moment,” said Ashley Barber of Washington Alarm.

“Our fear is that the business owner or building owner is going to go down to that building and see what is going on. And with no police there, we could potentially be in a dire situation if there’s actual criminal activity going on at the property and they don’t have police to back them up,” said Woodman. “Other cities that have done this [have seen] the crime has gone up. And we certainly already have an issue in the city of Seattle with crime, and we would not want to see crime go up.”

Read the whole article here.

Yeah, don’t hold your breath waiting for the police in Seattle to back you up. That isn’t how most of us roll:

Alas, in demorat-run Seattle your options are limited. They never learn, do they?

Trump assassination attempt: a failure of law enforcement & the Secret Service

Posted on July 16, 2024 by | 11 comments

A defiant Trump after the assassin’s bullet grazed and bloodied his right ear. Raising his fist in the air, he cried out, “Fight, fight, fight!”.

What evidence we have point to a massive failure and complacency of law enforcement and the Secret Service in protecting President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, and preventing the death of a former fire chief and the injury of two other rally attendants. That’s a charitable characterization. A less charitable explanation is that the assassinaton attempt had been engineered by the Deep State.

Below are the multiple failures and sheer incompetence of supposed professionals:

1. U.S. officials, i.e., the Biden Administration, were warned of a potential Iranian assassination plot against Trump weeks before deadly shooting. (NY Post)

2. 30 minutes before the first shot was fired, cops at the scene noticed the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, clambering into place in plain sight just 130 yards away from the rally stage and even took two photos of him because he was acting suspiciously, sources told WPXI. Meanwhile, almost comically, a counter-sniper team was inside the building on which roof was the assassin. The sniper team was using the building as a “watch post” during the event when Crooks pulled the trigger. (Source: Daily Mail)

3. Attendants at the rally alerted law enforcement to the gunman on the roof of the building at least two minutes before the first shot was fired at Trump, video analyzed by CBS News shows. One witness exclaimed as a law enforcement officer walked around the building, “Look, they’re all pointing. Someone’s on top of the roof. There he is, right there. Right there, see him? He’s laying down.” Another witness gestured to the officer, referring to the gunman: “He’s on the roof … right here, right on the roof.”

4. Passing the buck: A Secret Service source told Scripps News that the agency did not sweep the rooftop from which Crooks shot at former President Donald Trump Saturday, saying it was up to local law enforcement to secure that building as it was outside of the perimeter that the agency would secure. However, a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania State Police said the department had provided “all resources” requested by the Secret Service, including 30 to 40 troopers who helped secure the inside perimeter, but that it “was not responsible for securing” the building or the property on which it resides.

Patrick Yoes, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, America’s largest police group, blasted the Secret Service for trying to shift blame to local police: “Whatever happened in Butler, this was not a failure of the local, state, or federal officers on the ground who responded to the shots fired at former President Trump, they acted heroically and put their lives on the line to protect everyone else at the event. We must recognize that. This is a failure at the management or command level who failed to secure an obvious weakness in the security of this event.” Yoes warned that Secret Service efforts to push blame down to local police for failing to secure a building rooftop used by the shooter would be counterproductive, especially with so many campaign events ahead in the election that will require local, state and federal officials to cooperate.

Lastly, here’s another oddity:

BlackRock Inc. — the world’s largest money manager and ultra-woke investment firm that is benefiting from Biden’s US taxpayers’ multibillion-dollar funding of Ukraine with big government deals to “rebuild” Ukraine — has pulled an ad that briefly featured Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old assassin. Black Rock said Crooks was a student at Bethel Park High School and appeared in the 2022 ad with other unpaid teens. “In 2022, we ran an ad featuring a teacher from Bethel Park High School, in which several unpaid students briefly appeared in the background, including Thomas Matthew Crooks,” the company said in a statement to Reuters. The 30-second BlackRock TV ad features an AP and honors economics class that Crooks attended at the time. (Source: NY Post)

What a coinkidink!

Not.

Illegal alien indicted on rape released on $500 bail

Posted on July 1, 2024 by | 5 comments

This is America under demorat rule…

(story starts at :20 mark)

Story from MSN:

Cory Alvarez, an illegal from Haiti, is accused (and now indicted) of raping a disabled 15-year-old at a Massachusetts shelter. He’s been released on bail — despite a request from federal immigration officials to keep him in jail.

The perp was arrested in March and held without bail until he was freed on a $500 bail last week after the Plymouth County Superior Court ignored a request from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to keep the suspect in custody.

The Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office requested that Alvarez be held on $10,000 cash bail with numerous conditions of release. The judge set bail at $500.

The good judge released the perp with an ankle monitor, but ICE officials can’t track him because Boston is a sanctuary city — meaning local authorities don’t have to cooperate with the feds.

The suspect was also ordered to remain in home confinement, surrender his passport and check in twice monthly with probation, according to legal filings obtained by the Globe. He is due back in court on Aug. 13.

Federal immigration authorities said in March that they had filed an immigration detainer against Alvarez with the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office. However, a spokesperson for the enforcement and removal operations division of ICE told the Globe that Plymouth Superior Court officials “refused to honor” its detainer.

The perp came to the US in June 2023 under President Biden’s parole program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans (CHNV).

Read all the details here.

The illegal alien is being housed at this Comfort Inn in Rockland which was turned into an immigrant shelter, courtesy of taxpayers:

Think the perp will give up this great living condition and show up for his August 13 court date?

Maybe he will. Illegal aliens/criminals seem to have better odds under our current legal system than law-abiding citizens.

Identity politics doesn’t guarantee a “better representative of everybody”

Posted on June 20, 2024 by | 5 comments

The left are big into identity politics. For some reason, they’ll tell you that the color of their skin and sexual orientation makes them better able to govern. Case in point: Crystal Hudson, who represents the 35th District of the New York City Council.

When Crystal ran she outlined her “Black Agenda” for her district. She mentioned numerous times on her web page that she is “unapologetically pro-Black, pro-queer, pro-justice.”

Her page also states that she was elected in 2021 and made history as the first out gay Black woman ever elected in New York City. How did that turn out for the residents who voted for her? They aren’t too happy:

Furious residents erupt at NYC town hall meeting over crime outside gargantuan migrant shelter that houses 3,000 men

From The Daily Mail:

“A community meeting in Brooklyn devolved into a shouting match when concerned residents from several family-friendly neighborhoods expressed their extreme dissatisfaction with their councilmember over a huge migrant shelter in the area.

City councilmember Crystal Hudson was met with ire from her constituents as she attempted to speak at the community meeting on Monday night.

Residents in the family-oriented neighborhood of Clinton Hill remain uneasy about the migrant shelter that opened last summer right next to the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

The shelter currently accommodates more than 3,000 single men who  crossed the southern border illegally before being transported to New York City. Residents fear the massive shelter puts their children and the area in danger.

Hudson did not help her case when she stood up in the middle of the meeting to announce a stabbing had occurred earlier in the day right by the shelter. ‘There was an incident earlier today – it’s not the first incident, I hope it will be the last – there was a stabbing that was at the park,’ said Hudson.

But Hudson’s comments nonetheless further ignited intense frustration among the crowd at the Boys and Girls Navy Yard Clubhouse.

The news prompted several already angered constituents to stand up and begin shouting. ‘You are avoiding the issue,’ said one man into a microphone, speaking about the shelter. ‘Is there a universe where the city can safely house 3,200 single men together?’

‘It can’t!’ shouted some people in the crowd in response. ‘It is unsafe! It is unsafe!’ cried others.

During the meeting, Hudson – who had City Speaker Adrienne Adams and Comptroller Brad Lander by her side – encouraged angry attendees to save their wrath for City Hall.

She went on to blame the mayor for a lack of support in dealing with the migrant crisis. ‘We have literally said exactly what you just said … I understand the frustration. I get it … But my office has done everything we can,’ she said, according to local reporter Arya Sundaram.

Alejandro Gonzalez, a spokesperson for Councilwoman Hudson, said in a statement to the New York Post that her office confirmed its commitment to ‘caring for’ undocumented migrants.”

When, oh when, are voters going to learn:
