The Media, Trust, Distrust, and Deep Suspicion That Things Aren’t Right!

Already, the media and government officials are hated. Truth is not in their DNA. Until this problem is solved, the growing suspicion and distrust of public authorities and the media protecting them will deepen. This news headline drew my attention today: “Police Arrest Men At Vice President Kamala Harris’ Los Angeles Home After Early-Morning Incident.” The article under the headline reported: “Authorities arrested two men early Saturday morning at Vice President Kamala Harris‘ Los Angeles residence following a report of a possible break-in, according to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).” Let us examine this and see what it doesn’t say. First, who reported them and why?

Fires are ravaging Los Angeles. Curfew laws were imposed to prevent looting. Two men, clad in black outfits, were apprehended lurking about the property. That’s all we’re told. Were they blacks, Asians, or Muslims? We’re not told. We know immediately they could not have been White because the media would have screamed White MAGA Trump followers attacked the VP’s house, and that’s all we would hear. Except for that one article on the America Liberty website, not another word yet. Typically, in a society protective of its citizens and to drive home a point to potential looters, that to continue homeowners were authorized to shoot them on the spot. That would work. Today’s looters just get a ticket.

So, back to the VP’s house. It’s 4:40 a.m. Police responded to the Brentwood residence of US Vice President Kamala Harris, where two men dressed entirely in black were detained. “While their presence raised obvious concerns, the investigation could not (would not) confirm any involvement in a burglary.” “Both men were later released after police determined they were not engaged in any illegal activity.” Say what? The media reported that “details are minimal; police did not immediately say what the two people were doing on the Vice President’s property or whether the incident would be further investigated.” When that happens, it suggests government agents were there to gather evidence on Harris or bug her place. Residents were reminded that the National Guard, local LAPD, Santa Monica Police, and Airport Police Departments were ready to arrest anyone for trespassing, looting, or other offenses between 6 PM and 6 PM. Oh, I tremble in fear!

People ordered out of their homes to avoid the rushing flames are naturally concerned about their property and must wonder if the diminished police can protect them. Regarding these two cretins, dressed all in black, found loitering around a private residence, we’d like to know who they are? What are their names? Are they Islamic Terrorists trying to communicate with the VP (she wasn’t there), or are they MAGA supporters trying to do mischief to the VP? Who selected their black ensemble? How did they get there? Was an automobile found nearby? What was their reason for being there anyway? Unanswered, these questions contribute to more distrust of “officials.”

While California officials are scrambling to get into self-defense modes, blaming everyone above them in rank for the criminal failures to protect the people of Los Angeles City and County, the spin goes on by the legacy media to protect them, especially the biggest nerd, Governor Gavin Newsom. The level of his political malfeasance is beyond measure, and he should suffer for it. He expects to be the Democrat nominee for President in four years when Trump is gone. Californians, end their dreams. Hang that albatross around his neck.

Listening to media reports from the LA fire scenes, some stupid reporters trying to defend the indefensible have inadvertently revealed the incompetence of political leadership. It is evident that viewers not directly involved in LA’s fire disaster must wonder if there is any leadership in California. What we have learned is that the Progressive policies of CRT, DEI, Green schemes, and Save the smelt plans have mandated the hiring of “fruits, nuts, and flakes” into positions of authority in police, fire, and water management agencies and have nearly brought California to its knees. They can’t stop, hide, or disguise the Marxist rot that is destroying California. That’s all in their plan. Their failure to face with competence the destruction of the city, and maybe other major centers of the US population that may face similar destruction, must be blamed on incompetence and design.

I suspect the people of California here are willing and able to pay high taxes and support things that do not make sense or that they agree with because their basic assumption is that the government is here to take care of them. The overwhelming extent of the LA fires and the apparent failure of basic management principles must cause many to wonder where all their tax dollars went. The high-speed train to nowhere? I would guess that Gavin Newsom, for a start, sticks a fork in him; he is done!

Finally, after all the money, equipment, and resources America has sent to foreign countries in their hours of distress by natural disasters over the years, I wonder how many foreign countries, seeing our distress, will send their fortunes in relief funds? Interestingly, Ukraine has offered to send firefighters. So there!
