Photos show the few lucky mansions that
escaped LA fire’s wrath in Malibu
Posted By: Imright, 1/10/2025 3:04:51 PM
A few lucky Malibu homes are miraculously still standing after they somehow escaped the Palisades Fire as nearly all the neighboring houses were reduced to ash. Among the charred remains of luxurious million-dollar mansions along the iconic Pacific Coast Highway, only a select few buildings survived after the inferno tore through the exclusive city — and is still burning out of control, aerial photos show. One massive three-story home overlooking the Pacific Ocean appeared to have avoided significant damage even as rubble-piles of what were once houses still smoldered to its north and south in the wildfire’s wake.

The Palisades Fire that has devastated Los Angeles and killed at least eight people may have reignited from scorch marks left by an earlier inferno that is believed to have been caused by fireworks set off on New Year’s Eve, according to a report.
The remnants of the New Year’s Eve fire likely could’ve been reignited by strong winds — which have made the current blazes difficult to control — even six days after it was put out, the Washington Post reported. (Photo) An analysis of satellite images, radio communications, videos as well as interviews by the publication found that the deadly Palisades Fire began in the same area
A reported illegal immigrant was arrested by police after California residents feared he would use a blowtorch to start wildfires in Los Angeles.
The man’s illegal status was reported By Bill Melugin at Fox News late on January 12: Per ICE sources, the man seen in a viral video being subdued by residents & arrested by police w/ a blowtorch near the #KennethFire in West Hills is an illegal alien from Mexico named Juan Manuel Sierra-Leyva. He is in custody on a probation violation & has NOT been charged w/ arson.
Melugin continued:
I’m told ICE will place a detainer request on him
President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming border czar is not screwing around. It’s refreshing that someone will be looking to re-secure our southern border after years of intentional neglect. The Biden administration tried to gaslight voters through their allies in the media. The line was that ‘the border is secure.’ That was a lie; even Democrats couldn’t defend it when pressed by the facts.
It's got to the point where mass deportations, once considered an extreme position, are now supported by most voters, including Hispanics. Liberals are going to holler, but you lost the election. This issue is partially why. So, sit down and shut up
Outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray said Sunday he’s leaving his post when President-elect Donald Trump assumes office to avoid throwing the bureau “deeper in the fray” as he defended the agency’s 2022 raid of the 45th president’s Florida estate.
The head of the FBI addressed his impending resignation, the controversial search for classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and how China is the “defining threat of our generation” in a wide-ranging interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes” Sunday night.
Wray, 58, said deciding to step down before completing his 10-year term was “one of the hardest decisions” he’s ever faced. He announced his departure from the post last month.
The number of deaths linked to the California wildfires has risen to 24, according to a Sunday evening update from the County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner (DME).
Sixteen of those deaths are from the Eaton Fire, while eight are connected to the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles, NBC News reported. The medical examiner noted that the deaths are “still under investigation by the department” and that it “cannot confirm human remains until after the DME processes them at our facility.”
Many of those who have died have not been identified and are listed as John or Jane Does on the medical examiner’s website.
This year began in tragedy, as a man drove his truck, one with an ISIS flag, into those celebrating on Bourbon Street. He also got out and began firing. Police killed the suspect, Shamsud Din Jabbar, but not before he killed 14 people. There's been plenty of concerns about how law enforcement, including the FBI, handled the terrorist attack, making it even more necessary for Kash Patel to be confirmed as President-elect Donald Trump's FBI director. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), in a recent episode of "Unmuted with Marsha" weighed in on all of this, with a sneak peak exclusive shared with Townhall.
Just when one thinks the debacle regarding California local leadership cannot possibly get worse, a new bombshell drops.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a massive 3,000-acre wildfire raged out of control and engulfed homes in Pacific Palisades, California, on Tuesday afternoon. Shocking and heartbreaking footage has emerged showing people abandoning their cars and running for their lives.
Residents have lost their homes, entire livelihoods, and even their lives over the past several days as fires have spread all across Southern California with no signs of abating.
President Trump’s trolling of Canada continues to trigger all of the right people including outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Now, one can add another highly influential leftist and potential Canadian Prime minister to the list.
Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the radical-left New Democratic Party (NDP) and candidate for Prime Minister, is still hopping mad over Trump’s trolling posted a deranged message to Trump on Sunday afternoon on his X account.
“I have a message for Donald Trump,” Singh began. “Our country’s not for sale.
“Not now. Not ever.”

'homework' as GOP plots massive conservative

President-elect Donald Trump is giving Republicans his blessing to negotiate on a key tax that could prove critical to the GOP’s negotiations for a massive conservative policy overhaul next year.
Trump met with several different groups of House Republicans at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend, including blue state GOP lawmakers who make up the House SALT Caucus – a group opposed to the current $10,000 cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions that primarily affect urban and suburban residents in areas with high income and property taxes, such as New York, New Jersey, and California.
"I think it was productive and successful," Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., said of the meeting.

New York Judge Juan Merchan made a big show last Friday of holding a sentencing hearing before President-elect Trump has his inauguration on Jan. 20, as RedState's Susie Moore shared. Twitchy's Sam Janney wrote earlier on Sunday at our Townhall Media sister publication about part of Trump FBI director nominee, Kash Patel's reaction, when asked about Merchan's sentencing of Trump in the Manhattan business records fraud case--which many have long seen as blatant lawfare against a political opponent of the leftists/Democrat Party apparatus.
Janney, referring to Patel, averred:

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) claimed Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that President-elect Donald Trump was politicizing wildfires in Southern California.
Reporter Jacob Soboroff asked, “President-elect Trump has blamed you for this crisis. He’s called you incompetent. What’s your response?”Newsom said, “Well, I called for him to come out, take a look for himself. We want to do it in the spirit of an open hand, not a closed fist. He’s the president-elect. I respect the office. We have a president of the United States that within 36 hours provided a major disaster declaration over a text.
Elon Musk's ambitious push to reshape America's financial landscape took a bold step forward this week. His first "DOGE Agents" arrived in Washington, D.C., with a clear target: the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). These agents are aiming squarely at the agency's grip on taxation and regulation of digital currencies. As Americans watch closely, many see this as a much-needed pushback against bureaucratic overreach. In contrast, others warn that Musk’s growing influence could open the door for unchecked corporate power over public policy.

In the wake of the devastating wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles County, Governor Gavin Newsom has unveiled an ambitious initiative dubbed the “Reimagining LA 2.0” to reconstruct the city. This plan, which he refers to as “reimagining LA 2.0,” aims to rebuild the city with a focus on modernization and resilience, particularly in anticipation of the 2028 Olympics and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Outrage is exploding over a push by numerous Democrats to get people to donate to wildfire "relief funds" facilitated through ActBlue, the party's scandal-ridden fundraising apparatus.
As RedState reported on Saturday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom made the ill-advised move to go on "Pod Save America," a far-left show run by former Barack Obama staffers, while large parts of Los Angeles County still burned. His attempt to pass the buck and paint himself as an innocent bystander amid a laundry list of government failures was bad enough, but then came the plea for donations.
The tiny Delta Smelt fish have not been seen in the wild in California in over a decade.
And yet, California Democrats flushed annual water flow into the ocean to save this little fish that they can’t even find in its natural habitat.
Now several cities are burnt to the ground.
They sacrificed entire communities for a fish that doesn’t exist. (Snip) For the seventh September in a row, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has caught zero Delta smelt during its Fall Midwater Trawl Survey of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.
The last time Delta smelt – an indicator species for the broader ecological health estuary – were found
Comedians and Act Your Age co-stars Yvette Nicole Brown and Kym Whitley are standing behind Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass amid the wildfire crisis, and they believe the harsh criticism she's receiving is race related.
'Let me tell you something, she's got a spine of steel,' Yvette told TMZ outside a grocery store on Saturday.
'And she's also been a Black woman in America for a long time, so none of this is new to her. We are mad, because we're tired of it.'

It's no secret that Steve Bannon, once a top aide to Donald Trump, isn't a fan of the president-elect's newest buddy Elon Musk.
But Bannon took his criticism even further last week, telling an Italian newspaper that he will take the billionaire down before Trump's Inauguration day this month.
The comments were basically a declaration of war against the Tesla, SpaceX and X boss who has strategically placed himself within the innermost circle of the incoming president and the latest in Bannon's attacks on him.
'I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,'
As the flames continue to force thousands out of their homes, some celebs and billionaires have sparked backlash for their "tone-deaf" move to save their investments. [SNIP] Keith Wasserman, co-founder of real estate investment firm Gelt Venture Partners, provoked fury after a post on X, in which he asked for "private firefighters" to protect his land in the A-list neighbourhood of the Pacific Palisades. [SNIP] Keith's post on Friday read: "Does anyone have access to private firefighters to protect our home in Pacific Palisades?
"Need to act fast here. All neighbors houses burning. Will pay any amount. Thank you."
Trump will be inaugurated as the nation’s 47th president on January 20, and reports indicate that he plans to arrive at the Oval Office armed with over 100 executive orders dealing with border and energy security. He met with Republican senators Wednesday and talked about his plans, and some of the participants are revealing what he said.
During a Thursday morning appearance on "Fox & Friends" Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., said that Trump indicated that there are almost 100 executive orders to address issues like border security and U.S. energy.
"He threw that out — 100 — there could be like 100 EOs, yeah. I believe him,"
New York — Veteran opinion columnist Jennifer Rubin is becoming the latest in a long list of Washington Post figures to leave the troubled institution. Rubin is partnering with former White House ethics czar Norm Eisen and launching something new: a startup publication called The Contrarian. The startup’s tagline, “Not owned by anybody,” is a pointed reference to billionaire Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos and other moguls who, in Rubin’s view, have “bent the knee” to President-elect Donald Trump. “Our goal is to combat, with every fiber of our being, the authoritarian threat that we face,” Rubin told CNN in
Liberal talk host Bill Maher appeared on CNN this weekend and told Jake Tapper that he doesn’t think history will be kind to Joe Biden.
Maher’s criticism stems mainly from Joe Biden’s decision to run for a second term before ultimately bowing out. Maher compares Biden to late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was hailed as a hero by the left until she died during Trump’s first term, giving him the opportunity to name her replacement.
While Maher is likely right about Joe Biden and history, his criticism is solely about what Biden has done to the Democrat party. Biden will not be treated kindly by history for
At this point, if Iran test detonates a nuke before Jan 20, I would put good money on someone in the Biden administration having Fed-Exed them the parts.[SNIP] The Biden administration in its final days is shifting more than $100 million in military aid from Israel and Egypt to Lebanon as it tries to bolster a ceasefire agreement it helped mediate between Israel and Hezbollah.
In separate notices sent to Congress, the State Department said it was moving $95 million in military assistance intended for Egypt and $7.5 million for Israel toward supporting the Lebanese army and its government.
A DEI Green New Deal Hydrogen Bomb

That’s how Victor David Hanson describes this week’s catastrophic wildfires in California.
“It was a total systems collapse from the idea of not spending money on irrigation, storage, water, fire prevention and forest management, a viable insurance industry, a DEI hierarchy, you put it all together and it's something like a DEI Green New Deal hydrogen bomb… Gavin Newsom was fiddling, he's almost Nero Newsom. And this has been something that is just unimaginable… The systems breakdown. And to finish, what we're seeing in California is a state with 40 million people. And yet the people who run it feel that it should return to a 19th century pastoral
