This likely won't amount to much but Gavin Newsom is facing a recall election over the L.A. wildfires. He is the worst in a prodigious string of horrible California governors and deserves to be recalled for countless issues. Even though it likely won't happen (successfully), it's worth noting how terrible he is, since he's likely planning a presidential run in 2028.
Pam Bondi comported herself well during her confirmation hearings for Attorney General, unlike some people in the room. You know who looked like idiots during Pam Bondi's senate confirmation hearings? Democrat senators.
Here's the entire hearing session, unfiltered for reference.
Via Nerdrotic, a reasonable, well-thought out and entertaining assessment of Hollywood and the mainstream media:
Conspiracy theorist, conspiracy theorist, conspiracy theorist. And Sam Harris is supposedly part of the left's intellectual elite.
President (and currently president-elect) Trump has made numerous nominations for roles within his administration. Yesterday the senate hearings for his nomination confirmations began. The first high profile hearing was for the Secretary of Defense position, with nominee Pete Hegseth. The Democrats thought they could torpedo his nomination with some half-baked gotcha style questioning.
Boy were they wrong:
Yeah, the fires are horrific, but here's the real problem; the mayor.
Well at least the leaders are. Instead of dealing with the L.A. fires, they're worried about what they perceive as the real threat to citizens of the state: Donald Trump. I kid you not:
Americans, please remember this - Trudeau only speaks for himself.
The Rageholic shares his thoughts on the L.A. wildfires. It's funny but also largely correct.
The woman who confronted California governor Gavin Newsom talks about the interaction.
Unafraid (to confront)? Unimpressed (by his title)? Maybe both. Regardless, people in California are clearly no long as uninformed as they used to be. Gavin Newsome is a fool. People in California are perhaps waking up from 'woke'.
The View's Sunny Hostin is a one woman train wreck. She recently exposed her husband's insurance fraud, live on the air.
She compared January 6, 2020 (J6) to the holocaust, slavery and WWII:
Both of those things within the last week! and who can forget the repetitive need to read legal notices because of her inflammatory extremist rhetoric. This was not an isolated incident:
This reflects poorly on the governor (Gavin Newsome), the L.A. mayor and the Fire Chief. They are all the bigger disaster. Here's why:
Mark Zuckerberg surprisingly announced recently he's moving some positions from uber-left California to Texas. He also announced that Facebook/Meta was forced into censorship by the Biden administration and they were wrong to comply. He was no victim; Facebook was doing this before the election. How could Let's Go Brandon have forced the Hunter Biden laptop story suppression when he was only a candidate at the time? Zuckerberg was a willing and eager participant.
That doesn't make Mark Zuckerberg a hero. He's a coward. He went to Trump and was told something that he is now complying with. If Harris had won the election, there would be 0% chance you'd be hearing the same from Zuckerberg now. He's doing this because he has no choice. He's trying to stealthily mitigate what he sees as a bad situation (the Trump win). The same is true for Amazon. The same is true for Disney. And Joe Scarborough. The list of examples goes on. These people are not suddenly converted to the right. They are covering their asses from a conservative backlash and a Trump lawsuit after years of woke garbage they tried to shove down our throats. They just want to ride it out for four years and they expect another Trump term to be followed by a Democrat win, and they will go back to business as usual. All of them.
Most American people have come back to common sense, that does not include the woke, DEI, media elite crowd. As disgusting and horrible as the over-the-hill hens at The View are, at least they are consistent in their hatred. You can count on their far leftism. Anyone who falls for this Zuckerberg stuff is way too naive.
Continued leftist pressure on president Trump is inevitable and just because he won, doesn't mean we can let up in our support for him. The left , unsuccessful in all their attempts to stop him, will not abate.
Newt Gingrich opines:
Let's get a few things straight here. First and foremost president Trump (what an awesome feeling to be able to say that in the present tense) did not cause Justin Trudeau's resignation, unlike what a lot of Americans are saying. I'll explain more in a minute. Secondly, as much as I'd personally be tickled pink with it, Canada is not becoming the 51st state at least not any time soon.
Trump didn't destroy Trudeau's reign in Canada, Trudeau managed that all on his own. He was destined to be absolutely destroyed in the next election in October 2025 and he accomplished that all on his own. His polling has been abysmal for about two years now. His coalition government was already falling apart too, and he may not have made it to October anyway.
However, it's certainly fair to say that president (elect) Trump helped accelerate the downfall. Many, many Canadians can appreciate him for that. Some of us will appreciate him for a lot more.
As far as Canada becoming the 51st state, I understand that it's just very effective trolling but not only shouldn't it be taken seriously, there are a few reasons it's likely impossible. Firstly, while a lot of Canadians would be thrilled at that, far more Canadians want Canada to be Canada; even the ones who like Trump and love the U.S.
Secondly, if there is a 51st state wouldn't it be Greenland? It's more likely Greenland, should it be actually on the table, would become a protectorate and not a state. But if we are talking states, that's more likely a primary objective than Canada. Then there's Panama. Strategically Canada is less important than either of those other two. If anything, Canada seems more like the 52nd state. Or maybe even joined to Alaska as part of the 50th state instead. That's all geographical semantics though.
Thirdly, Canada is so geographically vast, it would require more than just one state. It also makes sense to break that up; Alberta for example is reliably conservative and basically Texas north. Do you as a conservative American want to add a single state that has enough population to gain approximately 50 electoral college votes and tends to lean left? It would make more sense do break that up. While the mood in Canada is currently pro-conservative, that is not universally true. A split Canada into multiple states is definitely more balanced electorally.
All that aside, Trump's handling of Trudeau has been masterful, purposeful and did help achieve it's intended effect. My greatest hope as a Canadian, is that Pierre Poilievre is elected as soon as possible and he and Trump develop a terrific working relationship. They are predominantly aligned on political philosophy and an economic union could be something that works out even better than a 51st state.
I know a lot of people find economics boring, but they are vitally important to your daily life. Below is a conversation between two of the smartest men in Canada; Jordan Peterson talks with Pierre Poilievre about economics, and while these things are specific to Canada, there is a universality to the points that Poilievre is making that everyone needs to hear.
This is a short excerpt from the lengthy conversation that I would urge anyone to check out in its entirety.
Let's Go Brandon is only an environmentalists as far as it benefitted his pocketbook and/or power. He doesn't care about it, and clearly he doesn't care about America or average Americans. This is a middle finger to the entire country. Either that or some environmentalist(s) on his staff did this in his stead because he can't even tell which we he's walking.
Energy independence? Screw it. Affordable living? Screw it. Let's just make it as hard as possible for Trump to fix America.
Every Christmas season I watch It's a Wonderful Life. It's a heartwarming story with a moral lesson that I have never really related to capitalism vs. communism per se. It is about a more spiritual point. Nevertheless, capitalism and altruism are not mutually exclusive. Indeed, as is explained quite well in this video I stumbled across this week, communism and altruism do not mesh as well as is possible in a capitalist system.
Pierre Poilievre may have just outdone Trump for trolling. This is an amazing must-see trolling of Justin Trudeau and his cadre of fools:
