This Is One Of The Most Catastrophic Disasters In U.S. History, And High Winds Could Spread The Fires To New Areas Of L.A. Until Wednesday

High winds returned to Los Angeles on Sunday morning, and that is making one of the most catastrophic disasters in U.S. history even worse.  Already, more than 60 square miles in the L.A. area have been burned.  To put that in perspective, the entire city of Washington D.C. covers just over 68 square miles.  I have been trying to find the right words to describe the devastation that we have been witnessing, but I just can’t seem to find words that are sufficient.  According to California Governor Gavin Newsom, this is one of the worst natural disasters in the entire history of our nation… (Read More...)

It Literally Looks Like A Nuke Went Off – We Are Witnessing The Costliest Fire Disaster In U.S. History By A Very Wide Margin

Some of the images of the destruction that has taken place in the Los Angeles area are hard to believe.  We are being told that approximately “75% of Pacific Palisades has been completely leveled by fires”, and the use of the phrase “completely leveled” is not an exaggeration at all.  It literally looks like a nuke went off and wiped out everything.  There have been plenty of fire disasters in California before, but never anything like this.  At this point, Accuweather is projecting that total economic losses will be “between $52 billion and $57 billion”(Read More...)

12 Things You Should Know About The Apocalyptic “Hurricane Of Fire” That Is Rampaging Through Southern California

The “hurricane of fire” that is ripping across Los Angeles County is already being called one of the worst natural disasters in the entire history of the state of California.  There are actually several different fires that have erupted, and extremely high winds are spreading them very rapidly. The Palisades Fire, the Eaton Fire and the Hurst Fire are the three largest, and the destruction that they have already caused is absolutely staggering. (Read More...)

What Is The Economic Value Of Greenland And Why Does Trump Want It So Badly?

All of a sudden, everyone is talking about Greenland.  Normally, Greenland is a place that is largely ignored by the rest of the world, but apparently Donald Trump is very serious about acquiring it.  But what would that look like?  If Greenland is made the 51st state, it would have as many U.S. Senators as the state of California.  That could have very serious implications for the balance of power in Congress.  And how would Greenland vote in U.S. presidential elections?  Has anyone even considered that?  Of course Greenland could become just another U.S. territory, but why would the citizens of Greenland want to become the next Puerto Rico?  That certainly doesn’t sound very appealing.  And why is Trump making such a big deal out of this anyway?  Approximately 56,000 people live in Greenland, and 80 percent of it is covered in ice.  So why does Trump want it so badly?

The Truth About America’s Crumbling Infrastructure

Signs that we were once a truly great nation are all around us.  Previous generations of Americans handed us the keys to the most magnificent domestic infrastructure that the world had ever seen, but now it is literally falling apart all around us.  Thousands of bridges are structurally deficient and there have already been some very high profile collapses.  Hundreds of thousands of miles of highways and roads in the United States are in very poor shape.  Aging sewer systems are leaking raw sewage all over the place, and children are being slowly poisoned by lead pipes that desperately need to be replaced.  The power grid is hopelessly overloaded and is extremely vulnerable.  Meanwhile, our ports, our dams, our subway systems, our bus terminals and our airports are crumbling right in front of our eyes.  The truth is that our nation’s infrastructure says a lot about who we are.  So what does America’s crumbling infrastructure say about us?  Sadly, it says that we are a rusting, crumbling, decaying leftover from a better, more prosperous time.

Thanks To Years Of Inflation, The Price Of Breakfast In America Is Now Obscene

They have officially ruined breakfast.  Once upon a time, breakfast was the least expensive meal of the day, but now everything has changed.  Eggs, butter and coffee have all become extremely expensive, and there is no relief in sight in 2025.  When I went to the grocery store on Friday, I spent about 45 dollars for just nine tubs of butter.  I could hardly believe my eyes, but after doing some digging I discovered that five dollars for a pound of butter is very close to the national average at this stage.

On New Year’s Eve, Lightning Struck The U.S. Capitol, The Washington Monument, The Empire State Building And One World Trade Center

A lot of really weird things have been happening over the past few days.  I don’t know what all of it means, but what has been taking place is so unusual that it should definitely be getting our attention.  For example, on New Year’s Eve lightning struck four of the most iconic buildings in the United States.  If lightning had hit just one of those buildings, it could have easily been dismissed as a coincidence, but that isn’t what we witnessed.  I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about this, because what just occurred in Washington D.C. and New York City is very strange indeed.

“In With The Old, Out With The New” – 10 Questions We Should All Be Asking About The New Year’s Day Terror Attacks

Someone needs to call Jack Bauer, because it appears that we definitely could use him right about now.  Our “new” golden era of “peace and safety” has been very rudely interrupted by the “old” problem of Islamic terror.  Of course the truth is that it is a problem that never went away.  There were dozens of major terror attacks in 2024, but most of the population is not going to pay attention unless something happens within our own borders.  Sadly, everyone is paying attention now.
