A batch of just-released text messages and other communications between California officials and the Los Angeles Fire Department from the run-up to the Pacific Palisades Fire reveals a system more concerned with a few endangered plants than with massive destruction and death. Twelve people died in the fires during three weeks of January 2025, with 6,837 structures destroyed (and another thousand or so damaged), more than 23,000 acres burned, and total damages currently estimated at about $25 billion with a B in the Palisades, Topanga, and Malibu areas of Los Angeles County. We learned why on Saturday in a Los Angeles Times report so shocking

Trump White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been keeping one heck of a secret for the past few months: she's expecting a baby girl in May of 2026. Leavitt, 28, made the announcement on Friday, saying she was "thrilled" about growing her family with husband, Nick Riccio, 60, and commenting that motherhood was "the closest thing to Heaven on Earth." The couple welcomed their first child, son Niko, in July 2024.
"My husband and I are thrilled to grow our family and can’t wait to watch our son become a big brother," Leavitt wrote in a post on her personal Instagram account. "My heart is overflowing with gratitude to God
President Donald Trump had some fun talking with kids on the traditional, Christmas Eve NORAD Santa Claus hotline this week. While he joked that they were tracking Santa's movements, he assured the kids that Santa was good. (Snip) But it turns out that 'Santa' did have a little bit of a run-in with the cops when he was going through Ohio with Mrs. Claus. Sgt. Mark Robinson with the Fulton County Sheriff's Office thought that Santa was going a bit too fast, so he pulled him over. However, when he realized it was Santa, he just couldn't help but find the humor in it,
Christmas will be extra special this year for a Texas family who will be bringing their daughter home from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) after more than 300 days.
Luis Torres and Jacklynn Peralta will be bringing home their daughter, Kamillia Peralta, who has been in the NICU since she was born at 35 weeks with an omphalocele, according to KSAT News. Kamillia Peralta was in the NICU at St. Luke’s Baptist Hospital in San Antonio, Texas for 305 days.
Kamillia Peralta “was born with an Omphalocele, a congenital defect that caused some of her internal organs to develop outside her abdomen,” according to the outlet.

Consider this a Feel-Good Wednesday story in honor of Christmas Eve, and a testament to a private enterprise that honors and appreciates its customers.
H-E-B is a regional grocery chain headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. In 2025, H-E-B ranked the 5th-largest private company in the U.S. with annual revenues of $49.57 billion. Not too shabby for a concern that only covers parts of Texas and Mexico. This 120-year-old grocer has obviously tapped into their market and found success with their model, but this Christmas, they also tapped into the heart of service in a big way.
On Tuesday, at an H-E-B location in Burleson, TX, the computer system went completely down;
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was buried under backlash after a tone-deaf post lamenting the “most vulnerable” illegal aliens in her community.
The Democrat’s post on social media last week touted a holiday donation drive for families not feeling “safe” in the California city, and it generated criticism on X that continued to reverberate for days.
“For many immigrant families, this holiday season is marked by absence and fear. Loved ones are missing due to immigration enforcement actions, and many families do not feel safe leaving their homes to participate in holiday traditions,” Bass wrote in the post, accompanied by photos from the toy drive.
The office of El Salvador’s attorney general announced on Sunday that 248 members of the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang were sentenced to up to 1,335 years in prison for multiple crimes.
Collectively, all 248 MS-13 members were convicted of roughly 240 different counts of crimes committed between 2014 and 2022.
The attorney general’s office published a breakdown of the sentencing and additional information in a series of social media posts in which it detailed that among the most serious crimes committed by the convicted criminals is the December 2021 disappearance and murder of siblings Karen and Eduardo Guerrero Toledo, the October 2021 disappearance and murder of Salvadoran soccer player Jimena Granados,
An illegal alien is accused of murdering a 66-year-old cab driver in upstate New York, a sanctuary jurisdiction, after a dispute over cab fare.
Santos Paulino Vasquez-Ramirez, a 28-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala, has been arrested by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office and charged with second-degree murder and first-degree robbery.
According to police, on December 1, 66-year-old Aurelio Zhunio-Orbez was driving his cab when he picked up Vasquez-Ramirez in Brewster, New York. Later that day, Zhunio-Orbez’s cab was found abandoned in a nearby parking lot.
On December 7, Zhunio-Orbez’s body was found in the Croton Falls Reservoir.
Police later arrested Vasquez-Ramirez and said that the illegal alien confessed to strangling Zhunio-Orbez, killing him,
Nothing quite says "Biden Border Crisis" like an *alleged* member of an MS-13 assassin squad — who is internationally known as "Fantasma," no less — being arrested by ICE and its law enforcement partners... in Nebraska.
Honduran national Gerson Emir Cuadra Soto, wanted for a brutal quadruple homicide in his home country, is a convicted killer who broke out of prison and illegally slipped across the Southern Border during the heyday of former President Joe Biden's intentional, disastrous open-border policy that saw millions of illegal aliens stroll into our country, most of them unchecked.
After evading capture on both sides of the border,
It wouldn't be December if some Leftist politician somewhere weren't waging a war on Christmas. In South Carolina, Miko Pickett, the mayor of Mullins, ordered the city to remove a public Nativity scene, "citing concerns about residents of other faiths and beliefs in the community."
Thankfully, the town council and defied Pickett's order. [Tweets]
Here's more:
A small South Carolina town committee refused to remove a Nativity scene from a market parking lot after the mayor ordered it taken down from public property.
Around Thanksgiving, Kimberly Byrd, head of the Mullins Beautification Committee in Mullins, South Carolina,
Remember those “No Kings” protests? You may not, they weren’t really relevant to people who shower and have kissed someone of the opposite sex, but to the left, they were the closest they could get to having friends or family. And since these people are otherwise devoid of meaning in their lives, they’re getting the band back together in 2026.
An email from “Our Revolution,” the anti-American group Bernie Sanders turned his campaign apparatus into, announced “The Next No Kings Day Is ON – We Need You to Power It.”
It was, like pretty much everything from the left, a plea for money. In it, however, the organizers of American destruction

Actor turned left-wing activist George Clooney and his family have taken French citizenship, a publicly available government decree confirmed.
Le Monde reported on Monday that Lexington, Kentucky-born Clooney, his wife, British-Lebanese lawyer Amal Alamuddin Clooney, and twin children Ella and Alexander were all granted French citizenship this month as per the contents of a naturalization decree published by the Official Journal of the French Republic on Saturday, December 27.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, one of Washington’s top-ranking Republicans, says he is open to legal action against Minnesota’s Democrat leaders following the viral release of a video alleging fraud in state-funded day care centers.
Appearing on Fox News’ “Fox Report Weekend” on Sunday, Emmer praised YouTube content creator Nick Shirley’s recent report, which alleges that several state-funded day care and learning centers, largely operated by immigrants from Somalia, do not provide legitimate services.
(Snip) “Whistleblowers are coming forward,” said Emmer, who added that he would support the prosecution of Walz and Ellison if there was documented evidence of their retaliation against whistleblowers.
Somali migrants are claiming that Minnesota’s economy would crash without them, even as the cost of Somali-run welfare fraud is growing on a weekly basis.
Minnesota has been wracked with a series of massive welfare fraud cases, leaving Democrat governor and failed 2024 vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz reeling. Much of the multibillions in fraud has been perpetrated by Somali migrants, who first began pouring into the state in the 1990s.
However, one state legislator is insisting that Minnesota would not be able to survive without Somalians.
Democrat Minnesota State Sen. Zaynab Mohamed — who was born in Somalia — in a recent interview said, “We are in every industry, and Minnesota would not
President Trump's name being added to The Kennedy Center has really upended the world of performing arts in the Nation's Capital.
As RedState's Katie Jerkovich reported just a few weeks back, the White House announced that The Kennedy Center would officially be rebranded as The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts – or the Trump-Kennedy Center for short – after its board of trustees voted to rename it. The move came after Trump and Ric Grenell, Trump's handpicked interim president of the storied performing arts center, have spent much of 2025 working to modernize and upgrade the facility and its offerings.

The New York City Council has passed what has been called the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) that will force private building owners to offer up their property to nonprofits and government entities before they make any private sale, effectively causing massive delays in property sales and other regulatory hurdles in the Big Apple’s housing industry.
In the scenario that it is passed, NYC will have the largest COPA program in the country. The act forces landlords to offer their property to the city as well as nonprofits before the building can be sold on the public market.
Throughout both of his presidential terms (and the years between) few supporters of President Donald Trump have been as vocal or consistent as Ret. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
Flynn, who served briefly as national security adviser in the president’s first term, has vocally aligned himself with many of Trump’s causes over the last decade or so.
That being said, Flynn appears to be rather unsatisfied with the way 2025 has gone in this country — and he penned a blistering X post with a simple, yet profound, request for Trump and his administration. “BREAKING: We The People demand ACCOUNTABILITY!” Flynn posted early Monday.
He said to Trump, “I know you are listening

On Monday, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced $50 billion in grants to all 50 U.S. states to be used for the sole goal of transforming health care in rural America. As the White House announced, the Rural Health Transformation Program was established through Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts legislation in the One Big Beautiful Bill, which President Donald Trump signed into law in July. This first-of-its-kind initiative represents the largest federal investment in rural health care in U.S. history.

The historic old City Hall subway station, a decommissioned train stop that sits below New York City’s seat of government, will play host to Zohran Mamdani’s swearing-in as the Big Apple’s new mayor at midnight on Jan. 1, his transition team announced on Monday.

The private event, which will be open exclusively to Mamdani’s family and select members of the press, will see him
Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson will undergo a "major operation" on Tuesday. Hanson, 72, a famed author, scholar and conservative commentator, frequently appears on Fox News Channel. He shared the news of his procedure last week on his podcast "Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words."
"I’m having a major operation, and I’ve got a major problem, and I’m going to have a major effort to solve it, and that’s all I can do," Hanson told listeners.
Nick Shirley’s 42-minute YouTube video on daycare fraud in Minnesota is shocking not just because of the scale of abuse he uncovered in a day. It’s shocking because it took a young kid to expose this years-long scheme. Where was the mainstream media all this time?
In the must-see video, Shirley teams up with a citizen investigator and goes door-to-door visiting various “daycare” facilities in Minneapolis that got millions in taxpayer money through a Child Care Assistance Program.
The first two “daycare centers” are both located at the same address in an industrial park,

“Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Rice, Biden, Weissmann, Rosenstein … When are these people being charged?” political strategist Roger Stone told Breitbart News after he was asked if he believes FBI Director Kash Patel is “knocking down enough doors” at Turning Point USA’s 2025 AmericaFest conference.
“I think Kash is doing a very good job of fighting terrorists. I think he’s doing a good job of fighting child sex trafficking,” Stone said, adding, “The question, really, is: Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Rice, Biden, Weissmann, Rosenstein, and on, and on.”

Minnesotans begged House Majority Whip Tom Emmer more than a decade ago to halt the flood of Somali refugees to the area, but the lawmaker scolded them for their concerns.
Minnesota’s Somali population is back in the spotlight after YouTuber Nick Shirley posted a video canvassing multiple Somali-run childcare centers accused of fraud. However, A resurfaced audio clip from “This American Life” shows that voters were concerned about mass Somali migration long before the recent controversy. In an episode that aired in October 2016, journalist Zoe Chace narrated portions of the story, including a reflection on a July 2015 town hall event at Aces Bar in downtown St. Cloud.
