Artworks worth “millions of dollars”

Hunter Biden Artworks Worth ‘Millions of Dollars’ Burned Up in LA Fires

“…Remember Hunter Biden’s supposed stint as an artist? It was, without doubt, one of the shallowest, most obvious money-laundering efforts undertaken by any member of the Biden family, and that’s really saying something. Hunter’s “art” was reminiscent of what might result from a bomb going off in a paint factory when a truck loaded with bolts of canvas sat parked outside; a talented kindergartner could finger-paint more compelling art than Hunter’s best efforts. But somehow, Hunter’s daubs gained some acclaim in the art community – at least the art community that was willing to help the Biden family to launder bribes – and the paintings sold for, wonder of wonders, a lot of money.

But hey, they sold to anonymous buyers. Give me a break.

Now, the New York Post is breaking the exclusive, heartbreaking story of how Hunter Biden paintings and other artworks worth “millions of dollars” have, according to a source close to the Biden family, reportedly burned up in the ongoing LA-area wildfires.

A trove of nearly 200 artworks by Hunter Biden has been destroyed — one of the casualties of the wildfires ravaging Los Angeles, The Post has learned.

The controversial art had been in storage near the Pacific Palisades home of Hunter’s Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris and is valued at “millions of dollars,” a source close to the Biden family said.

Morris, who loaned the first son nearly $5 million to help pay a tax bill and has been financing a documentary on him, lives in a sprawling five-bedroom, six-bathroom home which is among the few houses still intact in the posh neighborhood, The Post can confirm.

Still though, look on the upside: In the midst of responding to the unspeakable, unending horror in California, Flo from Progressive and Jake from State Farm are about to break the tension with some massive laughs…”

80 armed homeowners hunt looters in Pasadena

“…In the still-smoldering neighborhoods of Altadena, where fires destroyed more than 2,700 structures, about 80 people have defied orders to evacuate, staying behind to protect what is left of their properties from looters and more fires after losing faith in authorities.
Residents patrol streets and interrogate strangers, living in a Hobbesian world without electricity or clean drinking water. Some are armed. They are hemmed in by yellow caution tape at neighborhood entrances flanked by National Guard troops, Los Angeles County Sheriff deputies and California Highway Patrol officers….”

The wages of lefty lunacy…

The people of Oakland have voted for far-left wackos over and over for decades. They have chosen failure. They have received failure. Failure has become a preferred way of life for many Democrats.

Here is Democrat controlled Oakland:

This self-described spy-hunter was himself hunted. Put an attractive woman and a cocktail in front of these intrepid spy-hunters and they spill their guts.

Is this the typical caliber of people working in and for the federal bureaucracy?

Los Angeles Fire Department’s diversity chief blames fire victims in shocking viral video defending DEI

Los Angeles Fire Department Deputy Chief Kristine Larson - who heads the Equity and Human Rights Bureau - seemingly blamed fire victims in a shocking video

“…A shocking video shows the leader of diversity, equity and inclusion at the Los Angeles Fire Department appear to blame helpless fire victims as massive blazes continue to tear through the City of Angels.

In the public relations video that re-emerged from 2019, Deputy Chief Kristine Larson – who heads the Equity and Human Rights Bureau – defended the fire department’s use of DEI hiring practices.

She then addressed concerns that female firefighters may not be strong enough to carry a man out of a burning building, to which she simply responded: ‘He got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.’…

…Larson also insisted residents want to be rescued by someone they can identify with…

…’You want to see someone that responds to your house, to your emergency – whether it’s a medical call or a fire call – that looks like you,’ she said.

‘It gives that person a little bit more ease, knowing that somebody might understand their situation better.’

But many online said they do not care what their rescuers would look like, and if they did, they would want somebody who appeared physically fit for the dangerous job…”

Absurd, dangerous stupidity.

Stupidity.
