Biden waives his Magic Wand Again, Gives $770 Bucks to Fire Victims

The last vestiges of the Biden-Harris outfit were on the scene yesterday, displaying their finest ability to react to a situation. Waving dollar bills once again at the peasants. For the paltry sum of $770 you can go out on the town. No waiting. Which means of course that all of California might just as well apply.

Keep this in mind. It was reported that the United States had provided $3.4 billion to pay the salaries of Ukrainian bureaucrats and schoolteachers. Not to buy weapons for soldiers on the front line, not to supply ammunition, but to pay government officials living in the safest parts of the country.

Then we had Kamala Harris chortling “patience” – lost in her word salad. She is apparently hanging around the old man a bit too much.

A reminder that we sure did dodge two silver bullets with these two.

Let’s review the situation:

We close with In this edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson, author of “The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation,” explores the systematic failures plaguing Los Angeles as it attempts to put out devastating wildfires.

Victor Davis Hanson: How DEI Caused a Multifaceted ‘Systems Breakdown’ in Los Angeles

 From diversity, equity, and inclusion dilemmas to regulatory failures, see how this extreme ideology impacts good governance. “We have a $700,000-a-year utilities czar in Los Angeles, and she cannot explain why there was not enough water, at least in a convincing way—because she’s never had to, because she was ideologically correct.”

“You have an assistant fire chief who said, ‘If women can’t—if I can’t carry out a man [from a burning building], then that’s not on me. It’s the man who shouldn’t be there.’ It’s like saying if a child fell down a well and I’m not physically strong enough to retrieve him and save him, that’s his fault. He shouldn’t have been in the well.” “In the Los Angeles catastrophe, there are whole areas of imperial inquiry that are put off limits.

You cannot talk about the homeless and whether there was a homeless person who was out in the hills, [and] to get warm, lighted a fire. It’s a legitimate topic of inquiry. It’s happened. You can’t talk about.”

The best of the swamp.
