WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden repeatedly told speakers to “fire away!” during a White House briefing on the still raging Los Angeles wildfires before blaming local power companies for fire hydrants running dry — an allegation that was quickly rebuffed by one of the companies.

Biden, 82, shocked attendees by his choice of words on Thursday given the gravity of devestation caused by the dueling infernos and later applauded California Gov. Gavin Newsom who President-elect Donald Trump blamed for the hydrants running out of water.

“Madam vice president, I know you’re directly affected, so you fire away!” Biden told Vice President Kamala Harris, a California native, who shot a surprised look at the president as he sat next to her at the Roosevelt Room’s board table.

“No pun intended,” he added in response to Harris’ stunned expression.

Yet, moments later, Biden repeated the same eyebrow-raising directive, telling US Forest Service Chief Randy Moore, “Chief, why don’t you fire away?” as…

Tasmania Police reported that the incident occurred when several people inside a building were exposed to carbon monoxide, an odourless and colourless gas that can be fatal in high concentrations.

Senators Introduce “Lock the Clock” Bill to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent
January 10, 2025
(The Epoch Times)—A bipartisan group of senators, led by Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), has reintroduced legislation to make daylight saving time permanent year-round. The proposal is opposed by a coalition of sleep medicine organizations, which advocate “locking the clock” but in standard time. The legislation, called the Sunshine Protection Act, was unanimously passed in the Senate in 2022 during the 117th Congress, but it stalled in the House. Now, Scott and 15 other senators have reintroduced the bill, describing it as a common-sense approach that will simplify the lives of U.S. households, citing President-elect Donald Trump’s backing for an end to the practice of twice-yearly clock changes. “I hear from Americans constantly that they are sick and tired of changing their clocks twice a year—it’s an unnecessary, decades-old practice that’s more of an annoyance to families than benefit to them,” Scott said in a Jan. 8 statement. “I’m excited to have President Trump back in the White House and fully on board to LOCK THE CLOCK so we can get this good bill passed and make this common-sense change that will simplify and benefit the lives of American… Read the full article here […]
California Officials Send Mistaken Warning to ALL LA Residents to Evacuate City During Live Broadcast on FOX LA – VIDEO | The Gateway Pundit
January 10, 2025
California officials mistakenly send a text message to everyone in Los Angeles telling them to evacuate. Good Grief! The same people who fill up fire hydrants with water can’t operate their emergency evacuation services either. During a LIVE broadcast on Fox LA, an alert rang out across the set during their reporting on the historic wild fires. What they didn’t know at the time was that the Los Angeles County screwed up again and sent out an evacuation warning to EVERYONE in the county. The alert told people to “gather loved ones, pets, and supplies.” This was not very helpful. Californians are stressed and on high alert and now they’re receiving bogus evacuation alerts! You really could not make up how incompetent the radical Democrats are in California. Via Charlie Kirk and Midnight Rider. Read the full article here […]

President Trump: You know, not utilized. In some cases, they’re protected,which I can take that protection off. And you take down a tree,and you grow a better tree. That’s, you know, pretty common. But we don’t need anything. We don’t need their fuel.We don’t need their energy. We don’t need their oil and gas.We don’t need anything that they have. And I said to Trudeau, I said, why are we subsidizing youtwo hundred and two hundred and fifty billion dollars a year?He said, I really don’t know. And I said, well, I don’t know either. I said, what would happen to Canada if we didn’t?He said, Canada would be obliterated if that happened.I said, then Canada should be a fifty-first state. And that’s where we are now. A story that kind of disappearedvery suddenly. Do you have any idea whatever happenedto the drones? What happened to drones?

They were over Bedminster a lot, so I can imagine.I’m going to give you a report on drones about one day intothe administration because I think it’s ridiculous that… Read the full article here […]
Angry L.A. Residents Tackle ‘Homeless’ Arsonist, Turn Him Over to Cops – PJ Media
January 10, 2025
Los Angeles has rediscovered law and order in these past few days. L.A. cops and sheriff’s deputies have arrested at least 20 looters and on Thursday night they arrested a man who was seen setting the nearly 900 acre Kenneth Fire in Woodland Hills/Calabasas. KTLA reports that neighbors on the Citizen app reported that the man, who looked possibly Middle Eastern, was “tackled and held” by neighbors until police got there and placed him under arrest (although he hasn’t been charged). Residents who reportedly spotted the suspect held him down until officers arrived. Photos of the arrest shared on the Citizen app show officers surrounding a home where a male suspect was apprehended. Authorities have not confirmed whether the man was responsible or had any connection with the current wildfires. His identity was not released. The Kenneth Fire was first reported around 2:30 p.m. in an area of dry brush in the Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space just north of the 101 Freeway. By 6 p.m., the fire grew to 960 acres with zero containment. Here’s a look at the suspect. Fox LA reporter Elex Michaelson reported that the man is homeless… Read the full article here […]
Trump to Rebuild Title 42 Border Barrier
January 10, 2025
President-elect Donald Trump will revive the Title 42 border barrier in his first days back on the job, according to a January 9 report in Axios. On Wednesday night, according to Axios, “[GOP] Senators were given previews of some of what they were told would be 100 executive orders, two sources who were in the room told Axios.” Trump was accompanied by his top advisers, including Stephen Miller, the migration czar. The pending executive orders take time to implement and may face lawsuits once they are announced, but they will include “Building the border wall, constructing soft-sided facilities to hold migrants and implementing other asylum restrictions,” Axios reported. For example, Trump needs money to finish the wall and to build detention centers for illegal migrants — and is planning to get those funds via a massive, fast-track reconciliation bill early in 2025. The Title 42 legal barrier would make the existing but incomplete border wall far more effective by allowing the border patrol to send all caught migrants back into Mexico. The rule must be triggered by health officials, such as the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention… Read the full article here […]
EXCLUSIVE: Pentagon approved DIRECTED-ENERGY WEAPONS on American citizens
January 10, 2025
Science fiction has become reality as Mark Milley may have ordered the use of directed-energy weapons against American citizens during the 2020 riots. “We all remember 2020, the summer of love, the burning buildings, all the looted stores, and an overall lack of legal consequences for crimes committed by rioters. However, in a Blaze exclusive, Blaze investigative journalists Steve Baker and Joe Hanneman revealed that the Pentagon approved the use of directed-energy weapons on rioters in June of that year,” Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight” explains. Baker didn’t set out to find this information, but through his investigation into the Capitol riot on January 6, it led him here. “My curiosity began to just lead me down a number of rabbit holes, and I began to pull a lot of threads, and throughout that process, I began to discover that there were new types of systems that I was not aware of that could be used to both control crowds as riot control but also had other uses to move people in ways that maybe the American public are not aware of,” Baker says.

Judge Scraps Biden’s Title IX Rules – HotAir
January 10, 2025
The Biden administration’s Title IX rules expanding protections for LGBTQ+ students have been struck down nationwide after a federal judge in Kentucky found they overstepped the president’s authority. In a decision issued Thursday, U.S. District Judge Danny C. Reeves scrapped the entire 1,500-page regulation after deciding it was “fatally” tainted by legal shortcomings. The rule had already been halted in 26 states after a wave of legal challenges by Republican states. President-elect Donald Trump previously promised to end the rules “on day one” and made anti-transgender themes a centerpiece of his campaign. The decision came in response to a lawsuit filed by Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia. Read the full article here […]
