As the Senate begins the confirmation process….. A POINT:

“If I understand this correctly, the Senate Intel Committee will only approve Trump’s nominee for ODNI if she agrees to support an un-Constitutional provision that permits the government that none of us trust to illegally surveille American citizens without a warrant…but a provision that also makes an exception for members of Congress or their staff, who presumably value their privacy and don’t want to be illegally surveilled.

Meanwhile, President Biden is preparing to issue a blanket pardon of all the bad actors who illegally surveilled, wiretapped, sued, imprisoned and tried to assassinate his political enemies, so that no one can legally surveille, wiretap, sue or imprison them…and they get off scott-free.

Do I have that right?” ~LionTigerBear

Yes, you have that encapsulation correct. Additionally, the discussion of Joe Biden pardons -both metered and predicted- outlines the ideological mindset behind those who believe they rule over us.

Historian and author Victor Davis Hanson—or, as Mark Levin properly calls him, “America’s Wise Man” —recently noted that California’s progressives are actually taking the state backwards. This matches what I have often written, that today’s progressives are anything but, and in truth could be better classified as “regressives.”

Here’s Hanson, himself a resident of California, per a video posted by the Western Lensman on Twitter/X: “It was a total systems collapse from the idea of not spending money on irrigation, storage, water, fire prevention and forest management, a viable insurance industry, a DEI hierarchy, you put it all together and it’s something like a DEI Green New Deal hydrogen bomb.”

Everything The Left comes in contact with it destroys, nearly all of it on purpose.

Woke DEI + Green Nihilism = Dresden in California

California’s DEI “humanism” and Green New Deal environmentalism ensured the cruelest imaginable treatment of thousands of people and unrivaled destruction of the natural ecosystem.

By Victor Davis Hanson

Over 25,000 acres are ablaze in Los Angeles in the Pacific Palisades fire, a veritable living hell.

Some 12,000-plus structures were incinerated. More than 250,000 souls have been evacuated and are in need of shelter.

No one has really taken charge yet. And now even the woke culprits for the catastrophe are blame-gaming each other to determine who was the more incompetent, which in this case translates to the most woke.

No one knows how many have died; all know the number will escalate in the next few days.

The eventual price tag of the ruin will exceed $200-300 billion and outstrip the billions of dollars given to Ukraine.

And there are still some fires that are completely uncontained.

The Los Angeles apocalypse was a multisystem, green-woke collapse—and a disastrous reminder that when Soviet-style, anti-meritocratic ideology permeates all aspects of modern life in California, disaster is inevitable.

First, note that the culprit of the catastrophe is not climate change; it is not Donald Trump. Those are excuses for arrogant incompetency and disdain for the public. And it is not racism or homophobia to fault those who paraded and virtue signaled their tribal identities so extraneous to their actual responsibilities for public safety.

Note that all California statewide officeholders are left-wing. The California left holds supermajorities in both houses of the state legislature. Only 17 percent of California’s huge congressional delegation of 52 seats is Republican. California’s judiciary is the most left-wing in the country. There is not a single Republican on the 15-member Los Angeles City Council.

EU Honcho Threatens Intervention if Germany Votes for Populist Right.

Former European Commissioner Thierry Breton has suggested the European Union may move to nullify the results of Germany’s upcoming general election if the populist-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) prevails. Breton made the comments during an interview released Thursday, referencing external influence by Elon Musk as a cause for concern.

Breton highlighted a recent online conversation between Musk and AfD leader Alice Weidel on X as a potential “interference” in the electoral process. He drew parallels with a situation in Romania last year involving right-wing candidate Calin Georgescu, suggesting the EU could respond similarly if necessary.

Vote for the destruction of your country or the EU will just nullify your votes and continue to destroy your country. Every nation's people should be demanding that their country leave the EU. It's an abomination.
