Watch: Trump Destroys LA Mayor To Her Face During Wild Press Conference Spat
"Let them start the process tonight..."
“President Donald Trump slammed Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) and other Democrat public officials during a Friday press conference in Pacific Palisades to discuss the damage from the recent fires.
While discussing how long it would take to clean up the Palisades and other affected areas, Bass said "The number one thing that we are going to do immediately, and you will see this happen, is to clear out the debris…we are going to move as fast as we can. But we want you to be safe. We want you to be back in your homes immediately."
Trump immediately cut in - saying "But the people are willing to clean out their own debris. It doesn’t cost a lot."
You should let them do it. Because by the time you hire contractors, it’s going to be two years. People are willing to get a dumpster and do it themselves and clean it out. There’s not that much left. It’s all incinerated, and you know, it’s just going to take a long time if you do [it]."
According to Trump, homeowners don't want to "wait around for seven months till the city hires some demolition contract that’s going to charge $25,000."
As modernity.news notes further, Trump pointed out that people are saying they’ve been told they will have to wait up to 18 months for permits to clean up, and if he is willing to waive federal restrictions then the Mayor should do the same.
"Let them start the process tonight," Trump said, with Bass responding "And we will. You can come back and check."
Trump then eviscerated California Rep. Brad Sherman (D) who attempted to defend FEMA's actions in the aftermath of the fires.
"The problem with FEMA is they come from all over the country," Trump said. "They end up in arguments with your people from California because they want to do it a totally different way. I can live either way, but you haven’t gotten very much done with FEMA. All you have to do is look at North Carolina. It’s one of the great disasters of all time."
"You know who came in and fixed North Carolina or the process? Other states. People from all over the country came. You have the same thing. You have a lot of people from all over the country," Trump continued. "Getting the people is not a problem. Getting the organization is a big problem. FEMA is incompetently run, and it costs about three times more than it should cost."

House Passes Bill To Protect Babies Born Alive After Failed Abortions
“A bill to establish standards of care for babies born alive after failed abortions passed along party lines in the House on Jan. 23.
The 217–204 vote followed a heated debate in the chamber, during which Republicans stressed that the bill was not about abortion but the babies who survive the procedure.
“As a physician, it is beyond my comprehension that anyone would not intervene to save an innocent and defenseless human life,” Rep. Gregory Murphy (R-N.C.) said, defending the bill on the House floor.
“Neglect is harm. Neglect is immoral. Abortion is not the issue.”
The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act requires medical professionals present at a newborn abortion survivor’s birth to provide the same level of life-saving care to that baby as would be offered to any other premature infant of the same gestational age.
The bill mandates the transfer of such infants to a hospital for additional treatment and also establishes reporting requirements for violations. Penalties for violating the law could include fines and up to five years in prison, though the child’s mother would be protected from prosecution.
Democrats, however, argued that infanticide is already illegal and that the bill is therefore unnecessary.“
“This bill does not solve a problem,” Rep. Kelly Morrison (D-Minn.), an obstetrician, said before voting against the measure in the House.
“Doctors are already both honored and obligated to provide appropriate care for their patients. It is illegal to kill a newborn infant in all 50 states.”
From 2019 to 2021 in Morrison’s home state of Minnesota, there were at least eight reported cases in which newborn abortion survivors died post-birth, according to the Minnesota Department of Health. In five of those cases, no measures were reported to have been taken to save the babies’ lives. In the other three cases, “comfort care” was provided.

De-Weaponizing The Federal Government
Authored by Mike McDaniel via AmericanThinker.com,
“We’re going to be seeing a lot more swamp creatures quickly exiting their positions at the DOJ and throughout our intelligence apparatus.
Donald Trump, from his first day in office, has served notice he isn’t kidding. He’s taking names and he’s going to be kicking ass.
His orders are going to be obeyed or he’ll find people who will obey them. From the relevant executive order:
Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States to identify and take appropriate action to correct past misconduct by the Federal Government related to the weaponization of law enforcement and the weaponization of the Intelligence Community.
Sec. 3. Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government. (a) The Attorney General, in consultation with the heads of all departments and agencies of the United States, shall take appropriate action to review the activities of all departments and agencies exercising civil or criminal enforcement authority of the United States, including, but not limited to, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Trade Commission, over the last 4 years and identify any instances where a department’s or agency’s conduct appears to have been contrary to the purposes and policies of this order, and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and the Counsel to the President, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken to fulfill the purposes and policies of this order.
That’s going to be Pam Bondi, who is going to have to clear out a lot of people determined to keep the DOJ weaponized and who plan to sabotage Trump and Bondi.
But oh, won’t such a report be something?
(b) The Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the heads of the appropriate departments and agencies within the Intelligence Community, shall take all appropriate action to review the activities of the Intelligence Community over the last 4 years and identify any instances where the Intelligence Community’s conduct appears to have been contrary to the purposes and policies of this order, and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and the National Security Advisor, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken to fulfill the purposes and policies of this order.
The DNI would be Tulsi Gabbard, a convert to sanity and a long-serving military officer. This EO gives the DNI not only a new focus, but new power over the heads of every part of the Intelligence Community, and that report is also going to be explosive.
We can expect remedial actions will not only involve reorganization, but large-scale firings and even prosecutions.
That’s going to be a real problem for Pam Bondi. Some criminals and Biden dead-enders have already left the DOJ, but many remain behind, hoping to stay under the radar so they can stealthily sabotage everything Bondi hopes to accomplish. She’s going to have to spend a great deal of time getting rid of those enemies of liberty. At least some of them will have an inherent conflict of interest in investigating or prosecuting traitors, because they were conspiring with them. That being the case, they’re perfect blackmail targets.
The same is going to be true for Tulsi Gabbard and the heads of every government agency. They’ll need honest, patriotic subordinates who will relentlessly follow up to make sure Trump’s lawful orders are implemented and no one so much as thinks about sabotaging them.
This isn’t merely a matter of resisting Donald Trump. It’s violating the Constitution andsubverting the republic. We elect presidents and give them sole executive power to run the government and to see that the laws are faithfully executed. That’s what Joe Biden’s handlers—may we soon discover who they were—didn’t do. They stealthily ran the country instead, despite being unelected and unaccountable. Sabotaging any president’s lawful orders goes far beyond hampering him. It damages the country domestically and in the carrying out of foreign policy.
