  1. There's no "E" in Newsom. Where are you?

  2. Feminist Critical Theory act of provocation and transgression to further destroy the framework of the Patriarchy. It's right out of the meta-Marxist, FCT playbook.

  3. If you look at the history of wind driven firestorms in Los Angeles they span both political parties. The Bel-Air fire in 1961 was under our famously racist Mayor Sam Yorty. Both Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and George Deukmejian GOP, also saw huge conflagrations under their watch. This spans all ideology and goes to some personal responsibility of homeowners. I live here, lived in both areas that burned, and had family in Brentwood that evacuated. Doug, you are too far away. I agree with the DEI but just as the reservoir down was not the issue, neither is DEI.

  4. @ no, no it is not. and if we press this false attack we will lose the war against DEI.

  5. Preserve and celebrate the cultural myths of indigenous peoples around the world but not your own. A common internal contradiction within the educated progressive left in the West.

  6. The HAMAS of 20 years ago not the same, HAMAS is supported by UNRWA with millions of dollars a year, something Israel can't do.

  7. UNRWA is a Hamas run organizations, has been for many years, they use aid money to teach children to kill Jews.

  11. FALSE, total ignorance of California. I was born here in mid-1950s. LA did not burn down. LA County is 5,000 square miles with a population of 9 million. Palisades small neighborhood of only 24,000. "Marshall Plan"? nonsense.

  14. Both the WOKE and Islamist apologist use the same dialectical inversion, and why they are easy allies. Both learned their rhetorical style from Marxists.

  15. Arabs were traitors to Ottomans when they fought with British in WW1. Arabs claim they were treated well by Ottomans, so why the treachery, and how should traitors be treated, how can you trust the Arab who admit to treason?

  17. NO! The Supreme Court has no power over how many Justices there are, you are incorrect. The strongest thing the court did was write a letter to FDR. Congress can decide, can even reduce the court, and by attrition, not confirm new ones. You don't know what you are talking about.

  20. I read a report from the 3rd Arab Congress written to Churchill in 1921, they used the same ridiculous rhetoric as you just did, silly, and easily ignored.

  21. I'm a Jew who supports the Jewish Homeland, and you statement is not correct. I checked. The British Mandate called it Palestine, Golda Meir had a passport which said she was Palestinian. That's just fact, we should not LIE like they do.

  22.  @graham7176  That's not true, the Ancient Greeks and Babylonians used place words which are similar/same to the Greek name Palestine. Hadrian only expelled the Jews from Jerusalem, the name of the city was changed to Aelia Capitolina but the Jews never left the land. The Romans took the name Syria-Palestina, they did not invent it. Going by the archaeological evidence found so far, Jerusalem was founded about 6,000 years ago, and it may have had roughly that name from the beginning. A city "Rushalimum" is mentioned as an enemy of the pharaoh in an ancient Egyptian list dating from the 19th century BCE, about 4,700 years ago. If it is indeed Jerusalem, it is the earliest reference. When Muslim armies conquered Jerusalem from the Byzantine Empire in 638, they called it “Iliya,” a shortened version of the ancient Roman name Aelia Capitolina . Another name that began to gain currency after the Muslim conquest was Bayt al-Maqdis, a translation of the Hebrew name of the Jerusalem Temple – Beit HaMikdash (Literally “Holy House”). So, what's in a name?

  23.  @graham7176  The term "Palestine" has ancient origins, and its use dates back to classical antiquity. The name is derived from the Greek word "Palaistine," which was used by ancient Greek writers and historians to refer to a geographic region that included parts of the eastern Mediterranean, roughly corresponding to the area known as the Levant. One of the earliest known occurrences of the term "Palestine" can be found in the works of the ancient Greek historian Herodotus (c. 484–425 BCE), often referred to as the "Father of History." In his writings, Herodotus used the term to describe a region that encompassed parts of the coastal area between Phoenicia and Egypt.

  24.  @graham7176  No, it's an Indo-European word, not semitic. Arabic has no "p" in the alphabet, and even when they say it now, it's with a "PH" sound. In ancient greek "Palē " is the word for "Wrestle". I get the Syria-Palestina naming, but the Romans took it from the Greek, which again, is indo-European, not semitic. I don't really care, I'm non-religious on the matter, but love the stories, as they are a repository of human cognition. Arab Muslims and Christians didn't much care about Jews one way or another until they started returning in the 1880s from Central and Eastern Europe. Then the German and Austrians started coming with money, the Arabs who had some political control in the region welcomed the money, but then saw too many might arrive and change the political balance. When war broke out between the West and the Ottoman Empire, the Arabs flipped on the Ottomans, who they say they liked, and went with the British, they were traitors. The Arabs got a shock when they learned a promise was made for a Jewish Homeland, they felt betrayed by the British, and said so to Churchill in a 1921 report, one that I have a copy of. The report is full of hate for the Jews and the British, and threats they would side with the Germans or Russians in the next conflict, which they did, by siding with the Nazis. I have compassion for the Arabs, but don't trust them, they lie and change sides too easily. They made poor choices, and choices have consequences. They're still crying about what happened, but have never taken any personal responsibility for their choices. T.E. Lawrence was correct. Israel has to deal with a petualent and immature neighbor who will not grow-up. I don't have an answer to that.

  25.  @graham7176  okay, just saying I enjoy ancient history but don't conflate too much of it with current issues in the region. The one history which is relevant is the character of the people there, which seems rather consistent over a long time period. I'm not sure how that works, even with my background in molecular biology and theories of evolution. We are not all the same.

  26. Pete Hegseth wants to ban women from combat positions. That will keep him from being confirmed.

  27. California Dem for Trump because of Dem and MSM coup against the office of Presidency. Wray needs to come out and say if laptop is or is not Russian disinformation.

  28. I'm in California and the law going to change in 2024: Retail theft: Specifically, it would change the $950 threshold for petty theft and shoplifting to be charged as a felony

  29. The "dollar" is not gone, that's ridiculous, and disregards the full framework of the world economy. Dr. James Hansen said renewables will not be enough, and requires a nuclear to get us there. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/dec/03/nuclear-power-paves-the-only-viable-path-forward-on-climate-change

  30. I'm in Southern California living in an ideological ghetto formed like a religion, out of step brands you a heretic and swiftly excommunicated. Even our local news media stutters on word in fear of saying the wrong ones. It's like the 1950s.

  31. More than that, Lincoln never stated he did not nominate because of upcoming election, that was the most severe part of the lie, putting false words in Lincoln's mouth. I think her debate preparers gave her that story, and because she did not fact check the story herself, this should disqualify her from being VP. Trump 2020.

  32. No, fires like these span both political parties.

  33. How, only because you misinterpret that statement.

  34. The "F" word being formalized and normalized by the Woke/Lett. They get to choose which words are micro-aggressions and which are not.

  35. LA did not burn down, the county is 5,.000 square miles, 9 million people. The Palisades is a small neighborhood of 24,000 and was a ticking time bomb for decades. People did not clear the brush around their homes, there is only a $500 fine.

  40. Better, Trump struck a deal and new friendship with Mexican President Obrador who pledged to keep the "Caravans" from hitting the US Border, and it is working. Have you heard about mass crossings at the border, NO. Trump kept his promise. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-president-lopez-obrador-united-mexican-states-signing-joint-declaration/

  41. No, proves Finklestein is wrong, and a famous denier of facts at that. Finkelstein himself has clarified his position and has not outright denied Israel's right to exist. Instead, his criticism tends to focus on specific historical events and policies. Hamas chants From The River to the Sea, that includes Tel-Aviv. Murray is not wrong.
    1
  42. It's important to note that Finkelstein's views represent a particular perspective, and opinions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, especially concerning Gaza, are diverse. While some may agree with his criticisms, others may offer different interpretations and analyses of the complex issues involved in the conflict.

  43. Ronald(6 letters) Wilson(6 letters) Reagan(6 letters) = 666. I was wrong then, you are wrong now. Anyway, the text was not translated correctly, the number is really 616. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/revelation-666-is-not-the-number-of-the-beast-its-a-devilish-616-5349692.html

  44.  @shehannanayakkara4162  It's your opinion, but people at the border know, and there's certainly nothing in the media showing "kids in cages" anymore, so on the next news cycle for you to turn into a Trump failure, you are a Johnny One Note.

  45. Douglas Murray "tabloid", NO, not by a long shot. Read up on him.

  46. I did not vote for either, a resident of LA County, but also know that neither are responsible for these fires. I was born in LA mid-1950s. Most comments on YT are clueless about brush fires in SoCal. I voted to recall Newsom but also know he signed an executive order so we could capture almost 100 billion gallons of stormwater in 2022/23 which is stored in the San Fernando Valley Basin just over the hill from the Palisades fire.

  47.  @snoopybluejeans  Did you know these winds were predicted, the locals news warned us, the power companies warned us, and roads were closed in the area. Yes, South Africa and Australia go through similar cycles of fire. There's even a bird in Australia that starts grass/brush fires, it's called a "Fire Hawk"? The *Australian firehawk* is a fascinating bird known for its unique behavior of **intentionally spreading wildfires**. This behavior has been observed in at least three species: the **Black Kite (Milvus migrans)**, **Whistling Kite (Haliastur sphenurus)**, and **Brown Falcon (Falco berigora)**. These birds pick up smoldering sticks from wildfires and carry them to unburnt areas, where they drop them to flush out prey that flee from the flames. This behavior has been documented by both indigenous knowledge and modern research, and it's a remarkable example of how some animals have adapted to use fire to their advantage.

  48. @ We were warned, power shut off and roads closed ahead of winds. Upper Stone Canyon reservoir fully functional. 70mph winds sending baseball size embers a mile away into suburban neighborhoods setting dozens of houses on fire at same time. That's how.

  49. Lincoln placed 5 Justices, did he "pack" the court, no, he performed his constitutional duty. Go back to sleep.
