VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Dresden in Los Angeles and our Confederacy of Dunces

By Victor Davis Hanson

LA is burning. And the derelict people responsible are worried that they are found out as charlatans and empty suits.

The leftwing voters who enabled them are getting angry over the inferno that their chosen politicos green-lighted—as if they are shocked, shocked by the consequences of their voting.

The dam buster Nero Newsom made his accustomed fiddling appearance and then split—when the media began pointing out that he prohibits new reservoirs, sends precious water out to sea, blows up dams, prevents precautionary gleaning of forests and chaparrals, and then usually blames “Climate change” or “Trump” when called to account.

Poor Karen Bass was DEI-ing in Uganda after being previously warned that lack of rain, record winds, and kindling-like hillsides put her city in existential danger: Out of sight, out of mind.

QOTD:

Is gang rape an Islamic problem, a Pakistani problem, or a far-right conspiracy?

For it to be an Islamic problem, we’d need to see other Muslims committing gang rapes of non-Muslim women in other parts of the world as well. So, what do the numbers say? Let’s take a look.
