Two men are said to have been caught on camera dumping gasoline and setting it alight immediately before the devastating Palisades fire broke out, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively. A resident of the ritzy celeb-packed area reported the video to a senior firefighter once the flames had started consuming the area. 'By then we were too busy,' the firefighter told DailyMail.com. 'We told him to take the video to the police.' But what happened to the footage remains a mystery as cops have not confirmed that the uncontrollable blaze, which has caused damage in the billions of dollars, was set deliberately.

A chipper-shredder would be too good for someone confirmed to have set the fire deliberately.

Too many reports now of deliberately set fires. What is it? Nut ball firebugs? Drug-addled fools? Or eco-terrorists trying to somehow prove their agenda, like the paint throwers in museums? Maybe all three. BTW, looters should be shot if caught in the act. You would only have to a couple of dead ones and the others would get the point.

The increase in serious crimes - high profile crimes, seem to me to be promoted by others. Maduro and the Iranian mullahs would seem to be likely culprits. Maybe the chinese. The arsonists and the gangsters are enabling their families back home to be rewarded in cash for each high profile crime here in the USA. I guess sending those pallets of cash to bad actors around the world serves far more purposes than fomenting revolution. Reminds me of the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Suicide vest wearing Palestinian's families would receive cash after the bombings. Israel would retaliate by bombing the family's homes after knocking on their roof tops. I think this type of insurgency is here now.

Wait and see if this develops into anything. These stories have to be confirmed first. There was another story that some company monitoring the electric grid saw all sorts of power surges in the Palisades area. Is it possible to start a fire by hacking the grid? Is it possible for a hacker to cause power surges? Would power surges break power lines? California has had wildfires before that were caused by broken power lines.

another resident states that the initial fire was at the EXACT site of a fire set News Years eve, with fireworks. It was out by 3am, but may have left smoldering pockets that regenerated.

#4~ FWIW: This morning, watched a very brief “tinfoil hat video” that gave pause for thought. The narrator wearing a “tinfoil hat” mused in few days, this country will have a president committed to combating human trafficking and what better way to destroy evidence, if complicit with human trafficking, than destruction by fire.

Liz Cheney threatened Donald Trump's incoming Department of Justice on Monday, claiming that any move to investigate the now-defunct January 6th committee would be "sanctionable conduct." The statement, put out in response to Trump's recent "Meet the Press" interview, also denied allegations that she and her colleagues destroyed evidence.[Snip] “Here is the truth: Donald Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and seize power,” she said in a statement. “He mobilized an angry mob and sent them to the United States Capitol, where they attacked police officers, invaded the building and halted the official counting of electoral votes.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) displaced blame on Saturday for the nation’s managed decline under his long tenure in the Senate. Many economic nationalists believe McConnell, the longest-serving Senate party leader in American history, has managed the nation’s decline while elites profited. McConnell apparently disagrees. He suggested at the annual Reagan National Defense Forum that MAGA is responsible for the managed decline, even though the movement is only eight years old. McConnell has been in power since 1985.

A meeting of state Democratic chairs in Arizona was a whine fest of epic proportion, though no one seemed capable of grasping why Kamala Harris lost in 2024.[Snip] Outside this echo chamber, everyone knew trouble was ahead; spending a billion dollars and being unable to move the needle meant something was wrong. Outgoing Democratic National Committee Chair Jamie Harrison was adamant that the party should do what they ought to do when it comes to voter outreach: dump the ‘woke’ antics.

Pope Francis unveiled the annual nativity scene at the Vatican over the weekend - raising some eyebrows in the process. A noticeable addition this year saw the seminal scene's baby Jesus draped in a keffiyeh - a traditional scarf used by Palestinians as a national symbol. Jesus was born into a Jewish family in Bethlehem some 2,000 years ago - and his death triggered the birth of Christianity. A statement from the wheelchair-bound pontiff, moreover, saw him humbly ask onlookers for peace in the Middle East, weeks after he called for an investigation into what he said may be a 'genocide' occurring in the Gaza Strip.

FIRST ON FOX: A House GOP lawmaker wants to award a U.S. Marine veteran, accused of killing a homeless man in what he argued was the defense of himself and others, with Congress’ highest civilian honor. Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., is planning to introduce a resolution to give Daniel Penny the Congressional Gold Medal, Fox News Digital was told on Friday. "Daniel Penny’s actions exemplify what it means to stand against the grain to do right in a world that rewards moral cowardice," said Crane, a retired Navy SEAL.

A Manhattan judge on Friday agreed to drop the top charge against Daniel Penny in the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely. “We move to dismiss the top count of manslaughter in the second degree,” Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran told the court at around 3:30 p.m. The judge then signed off on the request — which came after jurors twice said Friday they couldn’t come to a verdict on the manslaughter rap. The 12-person panel will continue deliberating Monday on the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide, which Penny, 26, faces in the fatal May 2023 encounter aboard an uptown F train.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Like everyone I am horrified by the devastation in Los Angeles. The scale is beyond imagining, and the incompetence of city and state government so blatant, they will all need close security for the rest of their lives. Of course people are pointing to the Olympics in ‘28, and the inclusion of Los Angeles in the Smart Cities transition which basically means monitoring your very outbreath. Easier to do with fewer residents. Just build thirty-thousand high-rises, and house the cattle to be monitored and monetized.

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.

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

Former Vice President Mike Pence revealed that he congratulated President-elect Donald Trump on his win in the presidential election during former President James Earl “Jimmy” Carter Jr.’s funeral. In an interview with Christianity Today, Pence revealed that Trump “greeted” Pence as he was coming down the aisle, and Pence congratulated him on his win against Vice President Kamala Harris in the November presidential election. Carter passed away at the age of 100 at the end of December. “He greeted me when he came down the aisle,” Pence told the outlet. “I stood up, extended my hand. He shook my hand.

And someone did. The sheer idiocy of California Democratic Party officials preferring to embrace environmental posturing
