Twitter last couple weeks: Iran to be attacked tonight. Iran says they've reached an agreement with the U.S. U.S. rejects latest Iran proposal. Insiders believe tonight's the night. Trump was ready to launch an Iranian military operation, but called it off the last minute.

This hearing, unsurprisingly, has rapidly morphed into an utter shitshow.

Everything counts in small amounts.

Not to sound flippant about it by any stretch of the imagination, but it's hard not to observe the depressing Savannah Guthrie story would be one of these events that would have utterly consumed and dominated the nation and news media in the pre Trump era.

Another Epstein Files cover-up happening in real time.

Businesses today: This national shutdown strike is an important moment. This is a trying time for America. We stand in solidarity with those seeking to overturn injustices. We remain open today with regular business hours and a safe place to buy hardware and lawn care.

No one is coming to save us. God knows he doesn't act up for one day our alleged liberal mainstream media praises him and declares a "new tone" alert. You've seen who they've come for, and remember, the "first they came for" poem is a short poem.

I was assured this week he had a "new tone" and was calming things down. Was this not the case?

Talk about not meeting the moment. 😒

Fireworks going off in this fantastic Los Angeles neighborhood is nothing too unusual, but lots of fireworks going off like The Dodgers won or Fourth of July on a random January night (that isn't the very early morning of January 1) is a bit unusual.

Here on the lovely Eastside of L.A., and I wonder, is it The Fourth of July, or National Random Day In January Day?

No one is coming to save us.

Dear Bluesky, stop protecting people from seeing reality.

The first recorded earthquake by Europeans in California was in 1769 during the Gaspar de Portolá exploration. A 2002 study puts forward that mighty jolt might have been caused by The San Joaquin Hills Fault in south Orange County. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Back when The National Orange Show in San Bernardino was a premier event, and a float in The Rose Parade.

In 1963 the original Los Angeles MTA proposed a public transit rail-line from Long Beach to North Hollywood. In 2026, the LAMTA finally approved a public transit rail tunnel from The SFV to West L.A. It's needed, but this is likely going to face many delays and lawsuits, and go over budget.

I'm not seeing the disagreement.

As much of the nation braces for extreme cold and snow, over in Los Angeles they're dealing with their own weather emergency with daytime temperatures forecast to not rise above 66f degrees.

For those of us who grew up in Los Angeles and Southern California they're two dates burned into our memory: April 29, 1992, and, January 17, 1994.

Fire in the skies above East L.A.

Who can beat this vibe?!

Do you think Obama will wear his tan suit to the funeral?

Feel it, did you? A M4.6 earthquake north of Indio kind of near (but perhaps not on) The San Andreas Fault. Been a few aftershocks. What does it mean? California is a very seismic friendly active state. Foreshock? Maybe, maybe not. Only one way to find out.

Ever feel like when you wake up the world has changed?

So, now what?

Everything most sane people forecast was going to happen when the Trump Administration released The Epstein Files happened.

Most predictable cover-up ever.

Well, this is certainly an address to an alternate reality.

This address to the nation could have been an email.

In the "Vanity Fair" interview Susie Wiles say that Trump is in the Epstein files saying Jeffrey and Trump were "playboys," but Donald did "nothing awful." That suggests he certainly did something.

These sunny 80-85 degree days (and mild nighttime temperatures) here in Southern California just a couple weeks before Christmas simply do not feel right. I wonder if in 1944 Downtown Los Angeles at 12th and Broadway they felt the same way about snow falling? Photograph: USC Digital Collection

Why don't people stop looking at their phones when riding the train. Remember, this is what they took from you.

Going to the restroom needs to come back. Remember what they took away from you.

We need to bring back ordering coffee again. Remember what they took from you!

Soooo... I'm seeing a lot of people received an earthquake alert for a M5.9 event outside Carson City, Nevada, but I am not seeing people saying they felt it, nor nothing posted on SCEDC.

Anybody sick of hearing about Nuzzi and Lizza?!

Old: Telling liberals to move to Canada for reasons. New: Telling conservatives to move to Canada, because they want a king, and Canada is technically ruled by King Charles. Also, isn't it weird The British Monarchy is just across the U.S. border?

Then democratic presidential hopeful John F. Kennedy at The Biltmore in Downtown Los Angeles during the 1960 Democratic National Convention, which was being held a few miles away at The Los Angeles Sports Arena. Photograph found online.

Even worse is when kids in other classrooms would brag how their teacher threw a pizza party and rolled in the T.V. for the day.

Of course there was always that one freakin' teacher who insisted on carrying on with the regular lesson plan through the school day as if us kids weren't in costume and hyped-up for Halloween. #Halloween

What I love about the live coverage of police pursuits here in L.A. are the news anchors hyping and selling the possibility it could end graphically tragic, and when it does they act utterly shocked and horrified.

I'm dealing with the bane of existence living in Southern California: A stupidly loud gas-powered leafblower. To be fair, those few leaves on the sidewalk have caused harrowing inconvenience.

So, getting a lot of ads for the upcoming Virginia governor election. Here in California.

The release of hostages and peace plan sounds promising. However, what exactly is the plan for the Palestinians? You have ravaged communities in Gaza, and a very pissed off population. It's won't take much for terrorist groups and other bad actors to exploit the population.

We can also report at this hour an Arkansas-based big box retail store has Christmas items on display.

I understand her grief and shock, and it's absolutely terrible what she witnessed, but Erika Kirk isn't exactly "turning down the temperature."

Law enforcement has absolutely no idea where the assassination suspect is at. A lot of reports today were erroneous; the strangest being allegations of "transgender carved bullets." In the meantime wild conspiracy theories are burning bright across social media.

Painfully clear he doesn't want to be there at today's 9/11 memorial service as I listen to him speak.
