Dude, like it’s totally climate change’s fault these fires keep burning in Cali. Years now and we keep waiting for the climate to chill out instead of paying to bury those transmission lines…
To the left, everyone that matters is a victim or a wallet to be peacefully looted.
In what easily qualifies as a Christmas miracle, the Associated Press is today reporting President Joe Biden is belatedly going to clean up the border wall mess he created nearly one year ago by stopping all work abruptly.
Could it be Hunter told his father his drug stash has reached a safe ten year supply? Whatever it is making him do it, Biden is doing the right thing . . . finally.
AP reports border wall cleanup - small gaps will finally be plugged
I have concern that, when Biden’s manic open border supporters get wind of this, the gap closures will be scuttled straightaway. Boy are they gonna raise a stink!!
I was reading something about this yesterday.
I’m thinking 
could Biden actually make a commitment to complete part of Trumps wall? No way. Some political pressure orders are making this happen. Biden nevertheless may be forced to complete the original plan.
Among all of Biden’s blunders, the Border Wall is one of the worst things he is responsible for handling.
But like @shinobi said, A Christmas Miracle!
The Biden / BBB failure is prompting a lot of departures in the ranks.
- many Democrats not seeking re-election in the House. Florida Rep. Stephanie Murphy announced Monday that she will not seek a fourth term in Congress, the latest in a rapid series of retirements within the Democratic ranks that suggest momentum is moving heavily against the party as it seeks to hold on to its razor-thin majority next November. Murphy’s decision came less than 24 hours after New Jersey Rep. Albio Sires said he would be retiring at the end of this Congress. And, just before the Sires’ news, California Rep. Alan Lowenthal said he, too, would be stepping aside. All together, there are now 22 Democrats retiring or running for other offices this election cycle as opposed to just 11 Republicans doing the same. This article lists the names of those not running again and totals 23 Democrats and 13 Republicans.
I guess when the carjacking hits the Democratic politicians, it’s time to refund the police.

→ Refunding the police, continues : In Chicago, murders have hit a 27 year high, nearly back to 1970s levels. The Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot is requesting U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to send additional federal law enforcement officials to her city. “We cannot continue to endure the level of violence that we are now experiencing,” she said in a long speech on crime. In 2020, during those thrilling months when Americans were told that all crime would end if police stopped policing, Lightfoot proposed cutting the police budget by $80 million.
→ No one is exempt from the crime wave: Democratic Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon was carjacked at gunpoint this Wednesday in Philadelphia. The day before, in a Chicago suburb, Illinois State Senator Kimberly Lightford was also carjacked at gunpoint. The attacks sound horrific: “I begged them not to shoot us,” Lightford told reporters.
→ State of emergency: London Breed, the mayor of San Francisco, declared a state of emergency in the city’s Tenderloin district, a blocks-wide wound in the middle of the city, in which families and small business owners contend daily with open drug abuse. It is an area where dealers have free rein and where the addicted die slow deaths, cared for as they go by a dozen do-good city agencies. It’s great to see the mayor take the situation so seriously. She and New York City’s moderate Democratic mayor, Eric Adams, are a smart future for Democrats. Meanwhile, San Francisco’s progressive prosecutor Chesa Boudin joined a press conference denouncing Breed’s declaration.
maybe there’s a chance that if they’re charged with a federal crime, the federal courts will not turn them loose like the Marxist district attorney Kim Foxx has done.
when one parent ended the conversation by saying: “Let’s go Brandon.”
The president did not appear to recognize that the phrase is used by the right wing as a euphemism for “f— Joe Biden,” and responded: “Let’s go Brandon, I agree.”
First - A “rightwing slur”? Really?
Second - How sheltered is Biden? Or has the man broken ranks with his own administration? I can see ignoring such a comment, or quickly apologizing for it being broadcast, but he acknowledged it, repeated it, and outright agreed with it! Like he thought he was trying to be like the cool kids…
Yes, really. When you’re a member of the far left American mainstream media, any expressed thinking to your right is a slur. Or worse.
It’s only a guess. But I’m thinking it’s possible you’re younger than President Biden. When you reach his age you might understand better the diminished ability to process anything rapidly. The cerebral mechanisms can just slow down; at times they can stop entirely for an indeterminate amount of time. Of course this varies from individual to individual. But for many of us seniors it just “goes with the territory”. Sadly
My sister, who passed away at age 92, used to say “old age is not for cowards”. She was right.
That change of heart is rather recent, perhaps motivated by the closing of stores and other businesses in SF over the past year. Not long ago, mayor Breed was fully committed to allow rampant theft, homeless in the streets, and drug use.

Newt’s take on Manchin and the Biden staff who played their cards wrong.
I hope Newt is right that Manchin is pissed off and will hang tough. He is under severe pressure. It would really help if when it comes to vote Sinema also votes no.
Sinema is not an idealogue . . . not a hopeless one anyway. She will vote in accord with her views of what the people of AZ believe is best. Problem is, AZ has become a purple state whereas WV remains solid red.
I also have a small amount of hope for Tester and for (of all people) Menendez. The latter because he has promised to stand up for New Jersey’s big pharma interests.
Just sort of thinking out loud:
The contrast in NJ is striking and interesting. Menendez is at least concerned about and aware of one of his state’s most important business interests impacting thousands of New Jerseyans. Booker, on the other hand, is an off the charts hard left idealogue for whom being “woke” is all that matters, and to hell with everybody and everything else.
Dave Barry does 2021, excellent humor as always. Lots more in the article…
The world heaves a sigh of relief after a huge rocket booster, which had been in an unstable orbit, plummets to Earth without hitting an inhabited area. Many scientists believe that the rocket was launched by China, but the Chinese government insists that it most likely originated in a bat.
the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan, a country that, thanks to 20 years of our involvement, has been transformed — at a cost of many lives and more than $2 trillion — from a brutal, primitive undemocratic society into a brutal, primitive undemocratic society with a whole lot of abandoned American military hardware lying around
Speaking of threats: American military and intelligence officials express concern over reports that China has tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile, although a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson states that it was “probably a bat.”
In other disturbing developments, Facebook suffers a worldwide outage lasting several harrowing hours, during which billions of people are forced to obtain all of their misinformation from Twitter.
Those seeking to impugn Biden for his beach outing with wife and dog are wrong. And this is coming from a Biden critic. However:
If Biden were walking the beach at Malibu, or South beach, or Waikiki, or if he were enjoying an outing at South Padre Island, it would be different. He could not be beachwalking at those locations and still taking care of business to my satisfaction. But that is not what Biden is doing:
Biden is a Delawarean to his core and is walking Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. I’ve been there. It’s a nice beach, though perhaps just a tad cool late in December. But here is the thing:
From Rehoboth Biden could be back at the White House, if needed there, in a jiffy. The entire frickin’ state of Delaware is within hailing distance of the White House for goodness sake!
So if the old boy wants to walk that Delaware beach, with his wife and dog, I say no harm done and leave him alone. Biden has done a LOT of harm and made more than his share of mistakes. Walking Rehoboth Beach is not one of them.
The best woman for the job is a man, the Jeopardy edition.
There appears to be no real defense against Biden’s treachery. Purple states with Democrat governors are particularly vulnerable. This is being done very quietly and out of public view to the extent possible. The planes land at night. The illegals are quickly taken in by local do gooders. The Catholic church is especially to blame. Most of the Illegals are Catholic, like Biden, and this outrage is seen by the church as a way to grow its flock and counteract past numerous misdeeds by Catholic clergy.
Once embedded these illegals will become nearly impossible to deport. This is something of which Biden is well aware. In fact, it’s the heart of his long term game plan for socialization of America. And as long as idiot Americans continue to vote for Democrats at any level of government, Biden’s is a winning strategy.
The following, written by the hard left AP, nevertheless documents a case in point: Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has a Democrat governor and a Republican legislature which is powerless to resist what is happening. And the Democrat governor there is only too happy to go along with Biden’s strategy to add Democrats to his state, turning purple into blue.
Biden’s plan to turn Pennsylvania solid blue is working well
Here we have yet another example of Biden’s outrageous immigration fiasco. And please remember, this is ongoing . . . right now . . . but mostly shielded from public view by a supplicant and wholly amenable American press corps. You can read about it here, but you must reach almost the end of the piece before the writer even mentions the height of the outrage. Remember, this is from the hard left AP. The writer spends most of the article unfairly lambasting President Trump for his having followed the law. The article is hogwash propaganda BS until you reach the very end:
Biden reunites kids with families by importing still more illegals at taxpayer expense
Setting records in pandemic leadership, Biden abdicated responsibility to the states and wished them good luck.
