[I think the Dems will put up a greater and more desperate ‘resistance’ to the Trump2 administration that they did to Trump1 and also the interregnum Trump. The poor bastards have nothing else to offer thinking Americans – i.e. no policy alternatives that anyone who pays attention would accept. All they have left is a pathetic program of digging up dirt that doesn’t stick to anything that Trump proposes. And that effort is patently silly to all except their own hard core socialists/communists and media lackeys. gjr]

There is a worry about how many of the fire victims in LA who can afford to rebuild – now I’m wondering how many can afford to simply clear the debris:
“The Jan. 15 order from Davis read in part, “No removal of fire debris resulting from the Critical Fire Area in Los Angeles County shall occur from properties without a hazardous materials inspection conducted either by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or California Department of Toxic Substances Control …” The order listed a few other government agencies that could also do the inspection.
L.A. County Health Officer Dr. Muntu Davis issued the no debris removal order.
His calling card includes promoting a “health equity framework within government agencies,” and the top value listed on his county health office website is “equity.””
I’m surprised the “equity” crew didn’t finish off any homes left standing among the burned ones, in order to make the results of the fire equal.

Goodness, no sooner is Trump sworn in, than we have a ‘viscous’ killing. I believe under Biden, any kills were all well-lubricated.
“4 Chicago teens charged with shooting coyote with bow, stomping animal to death.”
by Natalie Neysa Alund, USA TODAY
“Four teenagers have been cited in connection with the viscous killing of a coyote in Chicago city limits this month, police confirmed to USA TODAY Tuesday.”
The kids had 4 separate charges brought. Usually it’s open season on coyotes nearly everywhere in the U.S. (that’s the 4-legged kind that Trump is NOT trying to deport). Chicago must be hard-up for money and any other thing to distract from their mayor. The kids did not use a gun, but a bow – shows concern for other folks & houses I thought. In daylight too.
Must be the DeepSeek AI that Natalie started using on Monday. Needs a little more natural intelligence though.

I’m sorry, I know it’s off-topic, but I’m literally crying. I knew you guys would be the only ones in my life to understand.
I work for the Department of Health and Human Services and my whole life is falling apart. I’m trying to keep it together but it’s so hard. This administration is just so evil. The fact that they STOLE this election is infuriating.
Over the past few days we have been told:
That we have to return to office for 5 days a week. I work fully remote and am now going to have to commute in 1.5 hours each way (so 3 hours of commute time).
That we need to get rid of all DEI. Aside from evil and inhumane this is, literally all of our programs encompass AND ARE BUILT on DEI policies. It’s even baked into our contracts. They are nitpicking EVERYTHING – all language that sounds non-white. It’s worse than is being reported.
We have been told that we are not even allowed to communicate with outside contractors. Our contractors are trying to reach us, frantically, and we aren’t even allowed to send them an email.
The list goes on, but you get the gist. This is pure evil that we’re dealing with – not just a stolen election. It’s a dictatorship, I assure you 100%. Please keep me in your thoughts because I’m not sure how much longer I can deal with this. Thank you for listening to me. I log on here each morning, and you brave souls give me the hope I need to power through each day.

In the election before this most recent we were fortunate enough to be blessed with a “Stalwart Man About Town”! A man who kept all our feet “on the path”, the path of rightness as it were! A few days after the 2020 election I congratulated this fine gentleman on his sides victory. But this man….this hero… was so concerned about the peoples faith in election integrity that he would inquire once, perhaps twice a week if we thought that Joseph Robinette Biden was indeed the winner…this I can only assume was an attempt to reassure us to the honesty and majesty of the electoral process…!
So when this whiny woman complains that the election has been stolen I want to reach out…
