Forbes: Trump Slams Gavin Newsom For Wildfires—Falsely Claiming He Rejected ‘Water Restoration Declaration’
President-elect Donald Trump accused California Governor Gavin Newsom of contributing to the wildfires in Los Angeles County by rejecting a non-existent "water restoration declaration." Trump claimed this declaration could have allowed more water flow to help prevent the fires, which Newsom's office dismissed as "pure fiction."
Three major wildfires have consumed over 5,600 acres, leading to evacuations and power outages. Newsom declared a state of emergency and warned of extreme fire risks due to high winds. Despite Trump's assertions, experts note that the fires are primarily attributed to drought and wind conditions, not water management policies.

The Pacific Palisades fire in Los Angeles has resulted in significant destruction, with about 1,000 structures lost. Firefighters struggled to combat the blaze due to empty fire hydrants, a situation attributed to poor infrastructure management and environmental policies that have hindered water supply efforts.
Critics, including developer Rick Caruso and President-elect Donald Trump, have pointed to systemic failures and mismanagement by city officials, particularly Governor Gavin Newsom's refusal to sign water restoration measures. They argue that decades of neglect and environmental regulations have left California ill-prepared for such disasters.
Fox News: UK lawmakers vote against inquiry into 'rape gang scandal' as Musk keeps up pressure
British lawmakers voted against a national inquiry into the U.K. grooming gang scandal, rejecting an amendment to a children's bill that aimed to investigate systemic abuse involving predominantly Pakistani perpetrators. Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned that supporting the amendment would jeopardize the entire bill.
Opposition leader Kemi Badenoch argued for a comprehensive inquiry, citing the need to address interconnected issues across various towns. The government has maintained that local inquiries are sufficient, despite calls from figures like Elon Musk for a national investigation into the ongoing crisis.

British MPs voted 364 to 111 against a Tory-led amendment to the Children's Wellbeing Bill aimed at initiating an inquiry into grooming gangs. The rejection maintains focus on reforming the children’s care system rather than addressing the scandal of systemic child sexual exploitation.
The grooming gangs scandal has involved decades of abuse, primarily by groups of predominantly Muslim men targeting children. The vote is seen as symbolic, intended to apply pressure on the Labour party amid ongoing controversy.

The Western Journal: LA Fire Department's DEI Obsession Comes to Light as Devastating Wildfire Rages
The Los Angeles Fire Department's focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) has drawn criticism amid ongoing wildfires. Critics argue that prioritizing racial equity over merit compromises the department's effectiveness, with some pointing to the appointment of Fire Chief Kristin M. Crowley as emblematic of this trend.
Conservative voices emphasize that the emphasis on DEI has led to hiring practices that may overlook competence in favor of meeting diversity metrics. This has raised concerns about the department's ability to respond effectively to emergencies, as seen in the current wildfire crisis.

U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young is suing CNN for defamation, claiming a segment on "The Lead with Jake Tapper" falsely accused him of exploiting Afghans for evacuations on the "black market." Young asserts that the segment has made him "permanently unemployable" and insists he did nothing illegal.

Experts warn that the likelihood of a stock market correction due to ongoing monetary and fiscal policy issues is increasing.
