The Morning Report — 1/8/25
Good morning kids. Of course the big story is a massive wildfire that has already swept through the very upscale Los Angeles neighborhood of Pacific Palisades and now threatens the west side of the city itself as strong, persistent winds whip through the area. As I have some family and friends that live there, I'm beyond concerned. And before the snarky comments regarding the politics of that state and city, one of my closest friends in life, who has been on the big and small screens for decades in some of the biggest shows and who you'd likely recognize in a heartbeat, is one of us. While sadly, the state of our nation and society has been reduced to a level where the politically disfavored are treated like dirt, as was the case in the virtual non-response by government agencies to desperate victims of hurricane Helene late last year.

Some people have noticed that Los Angeles is on fire. And it’s true, but more importantly it’s really breaking all sorts of ceilings. And not just with fire, but also with diversity.
Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley is used to shattering glass ceilings. She isn’t just the first LGBTQ+ person to the lead the department, but also the first woman.
“Countless people come up and say because you’re out there being who you are and your proud of who you are, that gives them strength,” said Crowley.
“I am different, but there’s a lot of difference everywhere in the world. Within the fire service, within the LAFD. I turned it around and looked at it as a true advantage. These other areas i represent from sexual orientation to my gender, to my upbringings. We all our different, but that’s a strength of ours,” said Crowley. Crowley is a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and says the LAFD has come a long way in terms of inclusion adding there’s a ways to go. Crowley believes the more diverse the LAFD, the better the department is at serving a city as diverse as Los Angeles.
I don’t know, I think maybe having a bunch of people who know how to fight fires would work better. As it has for all these many years. . . Right now, I think even the most die-hard woke in LA would take competence over diversity.
Well, that remains to be seen. Since long after the last embers have cooled off, and by the time the next state and local elections come around, I wouldn't make book on wild cheering from the typical Angeleno for any GOP candidate who promises to do away with DEI in the wake of this destruction. And that of course also assumes competent GOP candidates and a competent California GOP, which I haven't experienced in my lifetime perhaps since Gray Davis if not the govenorship of Ronald Reagan. On top of that, we have the Red-Green enviro-communists who succeeded in banning controlled burning which could have helped mitigate the almost annual wave of devastating massive wildfires that I clearly remember during my time in California in the late 80s and early 90s.
Like everything else the Left does, you have to always keep foremost in mind, the intention is not to bring others up but to bring all of us down. That is exactly what DEI is all about. Regardless of how qualified you may be, You didn't earn it, especially if you are white, Male, non-homo-pervert/Normal and Christian or Jewish. You got it on the backs and sweat of oppressed people.
Let's hop into the Wayback Machine for this moldy oldie:
In September 2011, a video went viral of Elizabeth Warren, in a pre-Senate campaign talking tour, excoriating factory owners for claiming they built their businesses.
“I hear all this, you know, ‘Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever,’” she said. “No. There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody.
“You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear: you moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for; you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate; you were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did.
We covered the story in 2012, and how Warren and Obama cribbed the concepts, and some of the language, from U.C. Berkeley Lingistics Professor George Lakoff, Obama and Warren cribbed “build it” narrative from progressive Berkeley Professor.
Considering the marauding bands of illegal alien and indigenous criminals going around robbing, raping, terrorizing and setting sleeping people on fire among other acts of abject savagery all intentionally unleashed on us by Fauxcahontas and her ilk, she has the unmitigated chutzpocritical gall to go after Pete Hegseth? Meh, She's whiter than a White Democrat Klansman's robes as she pretends to be an Indian. Feather, not dot.
The far-left Warren professed to be particularly worried about a tattoo on Hegseth’s bicep, which says “Deus Vult,” or “God wills it.” The angry squaw also “pointed to a Reuters article recounting how a National Guard master sergeant believed the former Fox News host could be an ‘insider threat.’ That master sergeant had done a quick internet search and determined that the tattoo had links to right-wing extremism and had been a battle cry for the Crusaders.”
Warren likely isn’t really afraid that Hegseth is going to get a new Crusader army together and go take back Constantinople or something, but the Massachusetts senator and fake Native American is so far out of touch with actual Christianity that she thinks or wants us to believe that she thinks that having a Jerusalem cross tattoo (which Hegseth has on his chest) and “Deus Vult” on his arm means Hegseth is not just a serious Christian but a “right-wing extremist.”
The self-righteous harridan reminded Hegseth: “You were also removed from President Biden’s inauguration because of concerns that you were an insider threat after reports that your ‘Deus Vult’ tattoo ‘was a Christian expression associated with right-wing extremism.'” That was actually true, at least partially: the Post noted that National Guard brass “pushed Hegseth out from serving during President Biden’s inauguration day. Notably, top brass had been on high alert at the time in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.”
This is, however, hardly an indictment of Hegseth. The left at that time was busy concocting its “insurrection” narrative, and its hysteria was at a high pitch. Few people, if any, whom they could demonize as a “right-wing extremist” were left unscathed. Yet despite the thinness of the case against Hegseth, Warren declared: “We cannot have a Defense Secretary whose fellow servicemembers feel concerned enough about to report as a potential insider threat.”
. . . Her endless letter to Hegseth is part of her effort to preserve and protect the far-left, deeply politicized Defense Department that has been created over the last two Democrat juntas. Hegseth threatens that corrupt establishment and threatens to focus the Defense Department on protecting the country rather than on DEI, Critical Race Theory, and drag shows. That’s why Warren wants so desperately to stop him.
The greatest insider threat to this nation was, is and always will be the Left and its epicenter in the Democrat Party. The bloody record of 200 years of destruction is crystal clear on this. Remember, that the US military is one of the most recognizable bastions, pillars as well as symbols of the American Republic as founded, of Judeo Christianity and post-Enlightenment western civilization and thousands of years of painful human development that culminated in Lexington and Concord. Those who have served in uniform as such are the last firewall (before the Second Amendment kicks in) between the abject evil tyranny of Warren and her ilk should the only avenue left to them for obtaining and maintaining absolute power is anti-constitutional repression. Hence their goal of dismantling our military. Look at its magnificent victories since 1775 in the righteous quest to preserve our freedom, paid for in the blood and treasure and sacrifice of real patriots.
God bless Pete Hegseth. His presence is akin to showing the cross to Dracula. Yes, the symbolism is evident.
Thank God Trump won because it is not beyond the realm of possibility that a military with the likes of Lloyd Austin and Mark Vanilli Milley in charge would have not flinched had they been ordered to fire on US citizens had they dared to protest Harris or whoever about anything. The first casualty in Diversity is diversity of independent thought. Anyone who would've refused their orders no doubt would've faced a summary execution for insubordination. That is who the Left is. Same as it ever was.
Let us go from fire to rain! As it were for this interesting tidbit:
The city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, the holiest city in the Muslim religion, experienced heavy flooding on Monday after torrential downpours.
Videos posted by Saudi citizens and media showed entire neighborhoods submerged, residents forming human chains to rescue children from flooded homes, trees swept away, and vehicles abandoned after stalling in deep water.
Oh those crafty Joo Weather Controllers! They invoked the late lamented Travis Bickel from "Taxi Driver." All things considered, maybe Mohammed's magic moon rock can be swept away, never to be seen again. Inshallah, as all the Kool Koran Kamikazes wearing their Fulminate of Mercury Fatwa Fatigues would say before mowing down infidels in New Orleans.
