You're more predictable than you think.

"It was basically the size of a chicken but with a really long tail.”

Wildfires in Southern California are currently blazing outside of the "traditional" season.

You're going to have to stay up late or get up early to see it though.

Democrat Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass flew off from her city this past Saturday. As per this report [emphasis added]: "Her departure coincided with escalating warnings from the the National Weather Service about strong winds and 'critical fire conditions' across Los Angeles. By Tuesday, fires had erupted in Pacific Palisades, Altadena, Malibu, and other regions, causing widespread destruction." Bass had flown to the African nation of Ghana to attend the inauguration of Ghanian President John Dramani Mahama.  When Bass finally made it back to Los Angeles on Wednesday, a Sky News reporter at the airport asked her repeated questions, specifically whether she owed the residents of LA an apology for her absence. As you'll see here, the questioning continued for 90 seconds, during which Bass utterly stonewalled the reporter, not saying a word.  Morning Joe aired a clip of NBC News correspondent  Liz Kreutz "helpfully" saying that Bass had been in Ghana on a "work trip." Wonder how much "work" gets done during inauguration celebrations?  And while Kreutz described the Sky News reporter as having "pressed" Bass, Morning Joe's clip of his interaction with Bass was limited to one question, and didn't last long enough for viewers to understand that Bass had refused to answer.  Instead, Morning Joe immediately cut to a clip of Bass, in some sort of subsequent press gathering, claiming she was directing all resources to the fire. To understand the depths of Bass's delinquency, viewers were entitled to see the full 90 seconds of her stonewall. Had this been a Republican in a similar situation, it's fair to assume Morning Joe would have played the 90 seconds repeatedly. But count on Morning Joe and NBC News to circle the wagons around a fellow Democrat.  This was nothing less than disgraceful, partisan, journalistic malpractice. Politico noted the Ghana trip threatened her "remarkably durable honeymoon." That's easier with a liberal hometown press.  PS: Bass the Stonewaller recently cut $17.6 million from the city's Fire Department budget. Here's the transcript. MSNBC Morning Joe 1/9/25 7:03 am ET NBC NEWS CORRESPONDENT LIZ KREUTZ: LA's Mayor Karen Bass, who has been on a work trip in Ghana, was pressed by Sky News at the airport. SKY NEWS REPORTER: Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent while their homes were burning? KREUTZ: Bass addressing residents. KAREN BASS: I am making sure that we leave no resource untapped. KREUTZ: Thousands displaced with the flames still threatening homes.

As President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration draws closer, Google is still relentlessly working to bring down his cabinet-level picks and other nominees.  MRC researchers consistently found a glut of leftist articles and personal attacks when searching Google for the names of Trump’s cabinet nominees along with Brendan Carr and Kash Patel, his picks to head the Federal Communications Commission and the FBI, respectively. Using media bias ratings firm AllSides, MRC researchers found that Google consistently provided double-digit ratios in favor of leftist content in the general and News tab searches performed on Dec. 26 and Jan. 2. The search giant presented no fewer than 10 times more articles from leftist sources than right-leaning sources including a host of vicious media attacks on the nominees. General Search Notably, Google failed to include “lean right” or “right” results for 69 percent of the Dec. 26 general searches and for 84 percent of the Jan. 2 general searches. Researchers found that on Dec. 26 general searches yielded 12 times as many leftist articles from sources such as MSNBC, ProPublica, The Daily Beast, CNN and The New York Times.  The Jan. 2 general search yielded also 12 times more articles from hostile left-leaning sources than those from outlets that AllSides rated as right or lean right. News Tab The News tab results similarly had precious few “lean right” or “right” results to counterbalance the radical leftist propaganda boosted by Google such as climate cult publication Inside Climate News. Google failed to include a single “lean right” or “right” result for more than half the News tab searches on both dates. Additionally, the News tab search results were almost as biased as the general search results, yielding 11 times as many leftist articles on Dec. 26 and 10 times as many leftist articles on Jan. 2. Hostile Attacks on Nominees Google also peppered its results with articles delivering personal attacks against the nominees, especially Patel, Pete Hegseth (the presumptive nominee for Defense Secretary) and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (the presumptive nominee for Health Secretary). On Dec. 26 alone, at least six of the News tab search articles went after Patel. For example, MSNBC warned he would be a “dangerous FBI Director,” while WIRED used the headline "Kash Patel is the Hero Qanon has been waiting for.” Patel also came under fire from Newsweek, The Atlantic, The Times and NBC News. On Jan. 2, nine out of ten articles Google provided in the News tab search results attacked Patel, using some of the same articles from the Dec. 26 search plus additional broadsides from ABC News, The Washington Post, The Bulwark and Politico. Google included an MSNBC article accusing Patel of “grifting” and indulging conspiracy theories and a New Yorker piece implausibly arguing that Patel would be a more dangerous FBI director than J. Edgar Hoover.  Both days of News tab results also went after RFK Jr. on many different fronts from a Rolling Stone article arguing that RFK Jr. would “Make America Sick Again” to arguing that RFK Jr. “can’t be taken seriously” or that America must “tame” him. These results also featured such radical publications as Mother Jones and The Daily Beast.  In Hegseth’s case, Google results hyped a woman’s allegations against him in both the News tab and general searches and featured articles accusing him of having a drinking problem. Both searches included a Times article using his mother against him. MRC also found negative articles by leftist taxpayer-funded websites PBS and NPR in both searches, as well as an all-out assault from The New Yorker, which aired out a wide variety of accusations against Hegseth such as drinking, financial mismanagement, infidelity, drunken statements, and more. But Google didn’t just stack the results with leftist and legacy media and negative headlines. Google planted an atrocious short headline in the search results on both days MRC researchers did a general search for Hegseth’s name. CNN was one of many outlets Google used to fill the results with negative headlines about Hegseth. While readers might draw negative inferences from the actual CNN title, “Police report reveals new details from sexual assault allegation against Trump’s defense secretary nominee,” Google made things far worse. People who googled Hegseth in the News tab on both dates would have found a shortened headline that says “Police report reveals new details from sexual assault,” which gives the impression that both the police and CNN agreed that there was a sexual assault.  Methodology  For this report, MRC Free Speech America analyzed the Dec. 26 and Jan. 2 Google Search and News tab results for the first and last names of 24 men and women nominated for cabinet-level positions in the second Trump administration as well as Trump’s choice for FCC chairman and Trump’s choice for FBI director. MRC Free Speech America created an algorithm to automate this process in a clean environment. A “clean environment” allows for organic search to populate results without the influence of prior search history and tracking cookies.  MRC Free Speech America also utilized the AllSides media bias chart as a gauge to determine which outlets are “right” and “lean right.” AllSides notes it has a “patent on rating bias and use[s] multiple methodologies,” not a homogenous group or an algorithm. “Our methods are: Blind Bias Surveys of Americans, Editorial Reviews by a multipartisan team of panelists who look for common types of media bias, independent reviews, and third-party data.” Readers should be aware that this report only uses the AllSides list to analyze ratings of outlets considered by AllSides to be “right” and “lean right” and does not necessarily reflect MRC’s characterizations of these outlets. This study included leftist anti-Trump publication The Bulwark as a “lean right” result multiple times since AllSides rates The Bulwark as “lean right.”  Nominees searched on December 26 and January 2 include Scott Bessent, Pamela Bondi, Douglas Burgum, Brendan Carr, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Doug Collins, Sean Duffy, Tulsi Gabbard, Jamieson Greer, Kevin Hassett, Peter Hegseth, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Kelly Loeffler, Howard Lutnick, Linda McMahon, Stephen Miran, Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, Brooke Rollins, Marco Rubio, Elise Stefanik, Scott Turner, Russell Vought, Susan Wiles, Christopher Wright and Lee Zeldin.

While many of us were asleep in our beds on New Year's Day, 14 Americans were murdered and 35 were injured at the hands of a radicalized ISIS supporter in New Orleans. The alleged terrorist, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was a Texas-born Army veteran who somehow became radicalized by ISIS under the noses of everyone in his community. “He was consumed by hatred in this ideology,” Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” says of the terrorist. “If we can understand how people like Jabbar can fall into darkness, we may be able to stop the next tragedy before it begins.” “This so-called lone-wolf is part of a growing pattern,” he continues. “German Christmas market attack, the London bridge stabbings, it’s now here on American soil. But let’s not ignore the bigger picture. While he may have acted alone in execution, everything leading up to it was not an isolated process.” Jabbar’s story, Glenn says, “also raises uncomfortable questions about our preparedness for terrorism in 2025.” “How did he acquire the knowledge to build a sophisticated bomb? How many more are like him? How many are homegrown? How many have we imported over our border?” Glenn asks. “There’s another question: technology. The smart glasses from Meta. He used those to plan his attack, but he also used social media to pledge his allegiance to ISIS. So how do we balance this innovation with security?” he continues. “The reason why I wanted to bring this up today is it’s more than just a tragic event. It’s a warning. It reveals the cracks in our systems, the complacency that allows those cracks to widen. Our borders, our political correctness. This story is important because it forces us to confront the uncomfortable truths about our safety, our priorities, and our policies,” he adds.

LGBT activists did their best in recent weeks to pressure Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine to veto Republicans' Parents' Bill of Rights. Their best was evidently not good enough. To the chagrin of those averse to increased parental involvement and greater transparency about what children are subjected to at school, DeWine ratified HB 8 on Wednesday. The legislation declares that "a parent has a fundamental right to make decisions concerning the upbringing, education, and care of the parent's child." Blaze News previously reported that the law, which takes effect 90 days after ratification, will: require that any "sexuality content is age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate for the age of the student receiving the instruction"; provide parents the opportunity to review in advance any instructional material that deals with sexuality and to opt their child out if so desired; require swift parental notification of any major changes in a child's services at school, including requests by a student to identify as a member of the opposite sex; ensure that schools cannot inhibit parental access to their kids' education and health records; altogether bar school district personnel from encouraging kids to keep information from their parents; require school boards to adopt a policy authorizing students to be excused from school to attend a course in religious instruction off school property so long as their parents sign off, arrange transportation, and cover related expenses; and require parents to sign off before providing any type of health care service to a student with the exception of emergency situations, first aid, and other services required under state law. "I think the basis for it for me, if you're a parent, you want to be informed what’s going on in your child's life,” DeWine said Wednesday, reported the Buckeye Flame. "Parents are the best teachers." 'It was opposed by educators and the LGBTQ+ community alike.' Aaron Baer, the president of the Center for Christian Virtue, an advocacy group that championed the bill sponsored by Republican state Reps. D.J. Swearingen and Sara Carruthers, said in a statement following HB 8's ratification, "HB8 protects children by safeguarding parents' rights to make important decisions for their children." LGBT activist groups alternatively did not take the news well. Dwayne Steward, executive director of Equality Ohio, an activist organization apparently keen on continued secrecy, said that "it's deeply disappointing that Gov. DeWine has signed HB 8 when it was opposed by educators and the LGBTQ+ community alike because it punishes teachers and staff for supporting LGBTQ+ students who are already targets of bullying and harassment." By "educators," Steward appears to have been referring at least in part to the leftist Ohio Education Association, a state-level affiliate of the National Education Association, which opposed the legislation. The transvestite activist group TransOhio expressed grief over DeWine's bill-signing, insinuating the Parents' Bill of Rights was "hateful legislation" aimed at trying to "silence, erase, or harm" transvestites. When asked Wednesday about whether the law would result in non-straight students being outed, DeWine reportedly said, "We love these students as we love anybody else. They're not only welcome in Ohio, but they're welcome in our schools. We want to protect them as we protect every other student. But I do believe parents are the most likely people to help that child." Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
