Sunday January 12th

Let’s start with Los Angeles, where devastating wildfires raged while the city’s $750K-a-year water chief had to admit they cut the power—which, confusingly to her, also cut water to fire hydrants. Genius. Meanwhile, LA’s mayor was busy in Africa, probably hiding after asking about cutting another $49 million from the fire department, just last week. Priorities, right?

Oh, and guess who called this years ago? Trump. Yep, the guy who said California’s forest management was a disaster. He even doubled down on Joe Rogan’s podcast, talking about the water shortage. But hey, what does he know?

As if LA didn’t have enough on its plate, some geniuses thought it’d be a great idea to intentionally start more fires. Yep, arsonists were out making a bad situation even worse. One was even caught mid-crime and zip-tied on the spot. Seriously, who wakes up and thinks, “You know what this wildfire needs? More fire.” This isn’t just reckless—it’s criminal, and it’s high time leaders crack down hard to protect communities already on the edge.

Speaking of disasters, Trump got hit with another fake sentence. Clearly, Democrats learned nothing from their past failures. But wait, things still gets weirder—Canada is now inviting U.S. states to join their country. Yes, you read that right. Playground politics are now international.

Oh, and Trump wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Subtle, right?

But don’t worry, gentlemen. The best news of the week? Jessica Alba is officially single.

Finally, something worth celebrating.

As wildfires rage across Los Angeles, so does the blame game. Between budget cuts, power shutoffs, and leadership MIA, critics say Democrats fumbled the response. Others think the media’s just turning up the heat.

So, what’s your take? Let’s settle this.👇

Los Angeles just hit a new low—literally. In a head-scratching video, LADWP CEO Janisse Quiñones tried to explain why fire hydrants across the city ran dry during an emergency response. Spoiler: she didn’t. With a $750K salary on the line, residents are wondering how LA’s water system could tap out when it mattered most.

Good news: Unpaid medical bills won’t drag down your credit score anymore, thanks to a new Biden administration rule. Bad news: That doesn’t mean you can ghost your hospital bills. While your credit report gets some breathing room, those debts could still follow you in other ways.

Wall Street’s been riding high into 2025, but some experts are flashing warning signs. The market’s “frothy” vibe—aka overpriced and overhyped—has analysts predicting a possible correction. Translation: Your 401(k) might be partying now, but it could be nursing a hangover soon.

Meta’s got a new vibe for 2025: less fact-checking, more “free expression.” Translation? Buckle up for the return of wild political rants and conspiracy theories in your feed. The social media giant says it’s all about balancing safety and free speech. Critics say it’s more like balancing user engagement with ad dollars. Either way, get ready for your uncle’s political memes to make a comeback.

T-Mobile is making headlines again—and not for 5G speeds. Washington state just sued the telecom titan over its tiny little 2021 data breach that exposed the private info of 79 million people. Apparently, T-Mobile knew about its security flaws but shrugged them off like a software update reminder. Hackers waltzed in, and it took five whole months (and a third party) to sound the alarm. So… how secure’s your data plan feeling now?

Move over, electric cars—there’s a new power duo in town. Ford Chairman Bill Ford is all smiles about Donald Trump teaming up with Elon Musk to supercharge American manufacturing. Because if there’s anything the auto industry needs, it’s more billionaires calling the shots. Will this tag team bring jobs back or just more tweets? Stay tuned.

Grant Cardone’s not just flipping properties—he’s flipping the script on California politics. After wildfires destroyed his Malibu home, Cardone slammed state Democrats for slashing budgets and mishandling disaster response. His message? It’s time to vote them out before their leadership causes even more damage.

A federal court just handed the Biden administration an L, overturning its Title IX changes. The ruling is being hailed as a victory for free speech and due process on college campuses. Translation: less bureaucratic red tape, more accountability. Cue the debates in 3…2…1.

Talk about ending the year with a bang. December payrolls skyrocketed by 256,000—blowing past Wall Street’s meh forecast of 155,000. Unemployment? Down to 4.1%. Looks like the job market isn’t slowing down, even if the economy feels like it’s riding on a spare tire.

Tired of playing the “guess my premium” game with your insurance company? You’re not alone. From health to auto to home, Americans are fed up with sky-high rates and bottom-tier service. Here are three ways the government could actually shake up the industry—for real this time. Spoiler: It involves more accountability and less corporate nonsense.

So here we are again—Donald J. Trump is heading back to the Oval Office, and the big question is whether this will be America’s grand revival or just another season of The Apprentice: White House Edition.

On one side, Trump supporters are already ordering the fireworks. The "America First" agenda is back, and they’re betting big on a return to economic dominance, energy independence, and a no-nonsense foreign policy that doesn’t involve bowing to global elites. Remember the roaring stock market, lower taxes, and energy prices that didn’t make you cry at the pump? Yeah, they’re hoping for that comeback. And let’s not forget Trump’s knack for cutting through bureaucratic red tape with a chainsaw. If Washington steps aside, this could be the economic boom and border security reboot his base has been waiting for.

But let’s pump the brakes. Trump isn’t exactly walking into a welcome party. The D.C. swamp hasn’t drained itself, the media’s still sharpening its knives, and Democrats are already brainstorming the next round of investigations. Plus, the political gridlock is thicker than ever. Even with big promises, actually getting things done might feel like trying to run a marathon in cement shoes.

So, what’s it going to be? A bold comeback that cements America as a global powerhouse—or a chaotic rerun that fizzles under the weight of nonstop political drama?

Either way, one thing’s for sure: it won’t be boring.
