First up- Formerly Great Britain...

The liberal parliament in the United Kingdom is on the brink of a collapse after a scandal involving mass rape perpetrated by migrant gangs rocked national politics across the pond.

Jess Phillips, the Home Office Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls and a Labour Party member, blocked an inquiry by the town of Oldham into Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s conduct while overseeing the prosecution of a migrant grooming gang’s sexual abuse of children in the town from 2011 to 2014, according to a Jan. 2 report from the Telegraph. The move prompted mass outcry and renewed attention to the UK’s ongoing crisis involving organized migrant grooming gangs, largely consisting of Pakistani nationals, stemming from waves of unchecked immigration.

Some of us have been following this debacle for years, but it took Elon Musk to rip the blanket off the coverup and it is now an international issue...

The real question is will Starmer manage to remain in charge? Personally, I doubt it. And good riddance as far as I'm concerned. I'm still steamed that this was allowed, AND the parents who complained were arrested on bogus charges when they complained YEARS ago. How many young females lives were ruined???

The 'best guess' is over 1000 young women were lured/coerced into participation. As I've said, the perps are lucky it is hard for Brits to get guns... Per LSP, not impossible, but hard...

The second story is the continuing devastation in/around LA due to wildfires...

This was two evenings ago- Around 3000 acres...

Last night, it had 'blossomed'... to over 20000 acres...

It's burned all the way to the Pacific, including south Malibu, and it is one mile from Santa Monica.

Part of the problem is lack of water, which falls on the Newsome administration (no reservoirs refilled), not enough firefighters locally, no water bombers on contract (it's not 'fire season'), and worst of all, no water in Pacific Palisades. They are not on the LA municipal system, instead relying on water tanks to provide water based on 'standard private use'. When you start pulling water for fire trucks at 250 gallons per minute, that emptied those tanks quickly, leading to firetrucks that DID get up into the area not having water to pump.

I talked to a friend who lives out there, and she's worried about her place in Santa Monica, and is packed up and ready to go. She said the LA government was 'running around like a chicken with its head cut off'.

And this one is not over by a long shot! Prayers continue for those who are on the front lines of this battle, which is exactly what this is...
