CALIFORNICATION: It’s been 11 months since a massive fire wiped out 13,000 homes in one of the richest neighborhoods in America’s second-largest city. On the Friday before Thanksgiving, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced ‘a major milestone’ in the recovery effort.
A four-bedroom house in Pacific Palisades had received its final approval from the city. That’s it. ONE house. Even worse, the approved structure was originally a model house that had been slated for demolition. The parcel is owned by a development company who has no plans for the structure to be inhabited by actual people.
I has been eleven months! The property owners are stinking rich! In Not-Bizarro-Democrat-World, the entire community would’ve been well on the way to being rebuilt by now. I mean … Florida managed to rebuild a bridge in THREE DAYS after a hurricane destroyed it.

ISLAM: When immigrants refuse to assimilate, they’re not immigrants, they’re invaders. One disturbing sign that Muslims are the latter is the rise of honor killings in western nations. From 2021 to present in England, these crimes increased by 81%. Other European nations also have recorded rises.
Last March in France, a man was convicted for shooting his estranged wife in the legs with a rifle, poured petrol over her, and setting her on fire, while also partially filming the incident. She died from her injuries. Over the summer, another Muslim man set his wife on fire in Belgium.
Last May in The Netherlands, two brothers bound their 18-year-old sister in packing tape, gagged her, and drowned her in a swamp for refusing an arranged marriage, having a boyfriend, and not wearing a headscarf.
In November in Austria, a 50-year-old Afghan man allegedly attacked his own 15-year-old daughter with a kitchen knife in the middle of the street, because he didn’t approve of her boyfriend. Thankfully, a witness rushed to help and she survived.
In the US, citizens are fighting back. In Hoover, Alabama , vigorous public concern over the growing Islamification of the area, the zoning commission unanimously rejected a rezoning request that would have allowed a Muslim K-12 academy to relocate to an office building in the Birmingham suburb.

Lovely voices in O Holy Night. (When the video popped up, I thought I was looking at Harry Potter – it’s the glasses – with Ron and Hermione. Heh.)
Just don’t care at all for the “coexist” symbol, being ‘inclusive’ of ‘religion’ which is an irredeemable spiritual and political enemy.
A fine St. Nick’s Day to you. I never knew it was a thing before MiladyJo of Catholic heritage put goodies in my shoe for the morning. Just like a Christmas stocking, only stinkier.
🎅👞🍬🍎
Image of St. Nick smacking Arius. Those folks took their theology seriously.
Couple of items I thought might interest you:
☛ Conceived in rape, grateful to his mother – video 1:24
☛ Wildfire Uncovers Hidden Biblical Town of Jesus’ Disciples
“After the fire was down and we walked in the burned area, we found the remains of Bethsaida Julius.”
Always interested in such archeology. In the article and the video, I would, frankly, prefer more reporting on the actual archeological discoveries and don’t need so much of the “see? this proves scripture!” editorializing/evangelizing. It’s not like finding walls and pottery proves Jesus fed the 5,000. I’m like Sgt. Friday: Just the facts, ma’am. And there’s so often an attitude of surprise when something bears out scripture; I mean, duh! 😜

ITA about the archeology thing, but I’m of two minds about the “coexist” thing. It gets my back up, because Leftists shove it at us while blithely ignoring the harm they deliberately do to Christians. However, what it actually means is a good, Charlie Kirk kinda thing. After all, co-exist doesn’t mean co-equal. It just means we shouldn’t kill each other over our differences.
