The allure of California was once a magnet for industry and others seeking opportunity, beautiful landscapes and pleasant weather conditions.

Those fascinations went up in smoke in the mid-January wildfires as people came to realize they've been deceived by the illusions of the state's ruling progressive Democrat Party.

A firmly embedded institution for decades.

Now, people understand Democrats are no more qualified to govern than the Three Stooges — an old Hollywood slapstick comedy movie team.

Sarah Palin, former Alaska Governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate under Arizona U.S. Senator John McCain in 2008, was reputed to have jokingly said "I can see Russia from my front porch."

Actually, she couldn't, unless she hitched a ride on the International Space Station, now coasting around the planet over a dozen times a day.

Then, she could view Russia, China, Mexico, Australia, India, Europe and practically any other place on the planet. Even her own home, 230 miles below.

A Boeing Starliner capsule left Earth last June containing two astronauts who were scheduled for a 7–8-day mission.

"It's my duty of care to ask, 'What the hell happened with that money? Why did we spend it? Why did we spend millions of dollars on five-star hotels for campaign staffers? Why did we spend $500,000 essentially bribing Al Sharpton moments before he interviewed Kamala? These are legitimate questions, but no, in the cult you can't ask questions." — Lindy Li, speaking on the "Piers Morgan Uncensored" show, You Tube TV, Dec. 18, 2024.
***************************

For at least the second time in a few weeks, an insider Democrat Party member has questioned the out-of-control campaign spending of Kamala Harris during her run for the White House.

Readers may recall Kamala's staff spent an estimated $1.5 billion during her abbreviated effort to defeat Donald Trump. The most money ever squandered on a Presidential campaign.

Several weeks ago, I wrote an article about a billboard in Tombstone prominently displaying a large Trump campaign placard on which the phrase "The Reckoning!" was boldly inscribed (The Beat, Jan. 7, 2025).

It would appear that time has arrived.

Now that Donald John Trump is once again the President of the United States — and only has four years to clean up the mess Joe Biden left behind — perhaps he should begin by having his new Department of Justice looking into the malfeasance and intentional misapplication of law into many of Joe's DOJ shenanigans.

As Donald Trump resumes his tenure as President — interrupted by the four-year debilitating term of Joe Biden — he's inherited a smorgasbord of unpleasant tasting vittles and snacks.

With a domestic economy in tatters, an almost incomprehensible national debt, international geo-political scenes rattled by several incidents and armed conflicts, and a nearly equally divided governing coalition at home, Trump appears to face a future wrought with uncertainty.

Yet, despite numerous difficulties and doubts, he campaigned tirelessly for the job he lost during the 2020 election.

"I Know More World Leaders Than Any Of You"

Meteorites Falling To Earth

"I might be the oldest President, but I know more world leaders than any of you have ever met in your whole goddamn life!" — President Joe Robinette Biden, speaking to the press at a White House event, Jan. 5, 2025, Fox News.
************************

Oh boy, President Joe is going out in a blaze of glory. Sort of like a falling meteorite as it burns up when entering Earth's atmosphere: Some of its charred fragments are going to smash into the hard reality of the planet's terra firma — you're just not sure where.

"Myself? Why should I pardon myself? No, I have no contemplation of pardoning myself. I didn't do anything wrong" — President Joe Biden, The Washington Examiner, Jan.10, 2025.
*****************************
Seems like I've heard that line somewhere. Oh, that's right, Joe repeated a near identical message numerous times before he pardoned his son, Hunter, for firearms and income tax crimes.

I knew it sounded familiar. According to Joe, Hunter must not have done anything wrong, either.

Which means, Joe may be getting ready to do the exact opposite of what he says he is not going to do — pardon himself.

Los Angeles skyline, Jan. 8, as out of control wildfires approach. Damages are in the billions of dollars.
If there ever was an example of Blue State ineptness, California and the Mayor of Los Angeles, are the poster child for the award.

A near total failure in governance and fire prevention.

While multiple wildfires burned in the Los Angeles vicinity, Democrat Mayor Karen Bass was thousands of miles away attending a function in Ghana, Africa.
