Los Angeles Wild Fires: The Lord's Burning Rain

This old town is filled with sin

It'll swallow you in

If you've got some money to burn

Take it home right away

You've got three years to pay

But Satan is waiting his turn.

Gram Parsons, "Sin City"

I'm not blaming anybody for the Los Angeles wildfires. Yes, the water hydrants ran dry in some burning neighborhoods, but no one could possibly have envisioned a conflagration as massive and catastrophic as the inferno that overwhelmed the LA firefighting infrastructure.

And I'm not blaming Mayor Karen Bass for the fire disaster. She had no business traveling to West Africa on a political junket while a disaster was looming, but Bass didn't start the fires.

For me, the LA wildfire is nationally significant as a sign of the arrogance and cluelessness of America's political and media elites. The people in LA's elite neighborhoods sneered at the working folk in Flyover Country as they insulated themselves from the real world with chauffered limousines, gated communities, and private bodyguards. 

The glitterati labeled working-class patriots as "white Christian nationalists," despising them as racists because they worried about crime and our country's open southern border.

Hollywood moguls made boring, overlong films full of woke DEI drivel and then wondered why movie attendance was down.

Movie stars donated millions of campaign dollars to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris even though they knew both were idiots.

Now, the chickens have come home to roost, and the Tinseltown world of the West Coast elites is falling apart.

I feel sorry for the average Angelinos who lost their homes in the wildfires, but I have no sympathy for the wealthy assholes who got rich under Bidenomics and whose cosmos is going up in smoke.

Mayor Karen Bass and her DEI minions are done--exposed as incompetent dolts. Governor Newsom and Kamala Harris are done as important political figures, having shown no talent for leadership. George Clooney and Julia Roberts, sycophantic fundraisers for the Democratic Party, are done as respected movie stars.

Many West Coast elitists are still rich, but their wealth won't save them from irrelevance. As Gram Parsons put it, "On the thirty-first floor, a gold-plated door won't keep out the Lord's burning rain."

Screw Flyover Country! The Dems raise campaign money in Hollywood, Cape Cod, and Martha's Vineyard

Last month, George Clooney and Julia Roberts co-hosted a Hollywood fundraiser for Joe Biden. Barack Obama was there to guide Joe Biden off the stage and to offer photo opportunities to Hollywood moguls. This star-studded event was a howling success. Biden pulled in $30 million for his reelection campaign.

Less than a month later, George Clooney wrote a New York Times op-ed essay calling for Biden to withdraw from the presidential race. 

Did anyone condemn Clooney as a huckster and a shill for Biden—who is so cognitively diminished that he can hardly walk unassisted? No. In fact, George Skelton, a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, praised Clooney to the skies and said Clooney should be the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate. Why? Because Clooney “has an easy smile that exudes sincerity and is extraordinarily telegenic.”

Last week, a herd of prominent Democrats called for Joe Biden to withdraw his presidential candidacy, and yesterday, Biden threw in the towel.

Nevertheless, Kamala Harris raised $2 million on Cape Cod for the demented grifter's reelection campaign just before he dropped out of the presidential race. Wouldn’t you like to see the list of donors? 

Soon,  David Letterman, the retired anchor of The Late Show, will co-host a Democratic fundraiser on Martha' Vineyard, which has become a modern-day Devil's Island for lunatic liberals suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome. 

With Biden out of the presidential race, all the money raised for Biden will go to Kamala Harris. Unfortunately for her, Biden spent 93 percent of the money he raised last month, which includes the $30 million George Clooney raked in for him in Los Angeles. No matter; the elites still have plenty of dough.

People living in Flyover Country will note that the coastal elites are donating money to the Democrats while food prices and rent are going through the roof. The Dems don't care about working Americans, whom they contemptuously describe as White Christian Nationalists. 

"Screw Flyover Country" is the Dems' motto. I sincerely hope Flyover Country rams Donald Trump up their butts.

Hillary dines with George Clooney at a California fundraising dinner. I'd rather eat a baloney sandwich with Bernie Sanders

Yeah and I'll have something to brag about

Yeah, something to brag about in you

Something to Brag About 

Lyrics by Bobby Braddock
Sung by George Jones & Tammy Wynette

An email from the Bernie campaign alerted me to Hillary's upcoming fundraising dinner in San Francisco. George Clooney will be the star attraction at a dinner that will cost up to $350,000 a plate!

Funny I wasn't invited. I'm sure it was just an oversight. Or maybe George is still sore that we didn't invite him to our last Knights of Columbus fish fry at Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

This kind of event tells us all we need to know about Hillary Clinton, the racketeer politician who wears frumpy pantsuits and makes speeches to bankers at a quarter million dollars a pop. And she won't release the text of those speeches, even though her sycophantic friend, the New York Times, timidly suggested that she do so.

No, Hillary thinks she is going to be President because she is entitled to it, and it is simply beneath her to even respond to queries about her fundraising activities. She's cozied up to all the right people, gotten money from the likes of Goldman Sachs, and promised the insiders that they'll be taken care of if she takes over the Oval Office. 

Do the Democrats in New Hampshire want her? The Democrats in Utah? The Democrats in Oklahoma, Kansas, or Nebraska? In Michigan, Alaska, Hawaii or Washington? No, they don't; and Hillary doesn't give a damn.

Because the only  people Hillary answers to are arrogant rich oligarchs like George Soros, who donated $8 million to Hillary's Super Pac.

As for me, I am proud to have cast my vote for Bernie Sanders, and I'm still making modest contributions to his campaign. I would rather eat a baloney sandwich from a paper bag with Bernie than dine on caviar and filet mignon with Hillary Clinton and George Clooney.

And whether Bernie ultimately wins or loses, when this election is over, those of us who voted for him can take pride in the fact that we cast our ballots for decency. As George Jones and Tammy Wynette might have put it, "We'll have somethin' to brag about" on inauguration day even if Hillary becomes our next President.
