What is going on in California is simply unbelievable. It was not lost on many that on the Jewish New Year this is a piece of the liturgy we recite:
...On Rosh Hashanah it is inscribed, and on Yom Kippur it is sealed – how many shall pass away and how many shall be born, who shall live and who shall die, who in good time, and who by an untimely death, who by water and who by fire...
While the rest of the world brings in the gregorian new year with parties and fanfare, the Jewish people beseech G-d to inscribe them for another year. Not much more to say on that,

There is nothing we can do except pray for those people who live in California and hope that they have had enough of their woke, uber liberal governments. How much of this misery could have been avoided will probably never be known.
For sure siphoning off billions of dollars from fire departments to help the homeless, much of which went unused, is woke at its finest.
There have been many articles swirling around about people in affected areas getting their insurance claims met. We did a bit of digging thanks to an astute Blanche reader and this is what we came up with:
Several insurance companies have either fled California, stopped writing new policies or otherwise reduced their exposure in the Golden State, citing business risks amid rising replacement costs and the inability to adequately raise premiums.
Allstate paused its sales of new home insurance policies in California in 2022 due to wildfires and higher costs of doing business in the state.
AmGUARD, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway-owned GUARD Insurance Companies, stopped writing homeowners policies in California in 2023.
Chubb announced in a 2021 earnings call that the company would significantly reduce homeowners coverage in California, pointing to wildfire risks and the state's insurance regulations.
Farmers Insurance Group began limiting coverage in California in 2023, and later that year, one of its subsidiaries, Farmers Direct Property and Casualty Insurance Company, withdrew from the state entirely.
State Farm, California's largest home insurance provider, announced in 2023 that it would no longer accept applications for property insurance and other policies in California, citing "historic" increases in construction costs and inflation."
The Hartford Financial Services Group stopped writing new homeowners insurance policies in California in early 2024.
Travelers Insurance announced it would not renew homeowners policies for thousands of California properties from 2022 and 2023 due to wildfire risk.
These are a few of the many insurance companies who have had it with insuring people living in fire, earthquake and flood zones.
It didn't help that the government of California Department of Insurance uses a process called “prior approval,” meaning insurers must file rate requests and get them approved before charging customers higher premiums.
The government created a mountain of red tape for insurance companies. Add that to people living in areas prone to natural disasters and you have the mother-of-all insurance disasters.
So on top of losing everything they own, tens of thousands of people will probably have to fight with their insurance companies to be even partially compensated. What did they do to deserve this?
Chandra Arya, one of geniuses who threw his hat in the pile of losers to run for the leadership of the liberal party can barely speak English. We saw him in an interview and he was unintelligible. More importantly, he clearly sides with those living in gaza and not Israel.
This is the party Anthony Housefather finds it impossible to leave.
Do not tell us that little Anthony can make a difference. He cannot. He's a minor, muzzled backbencher with zero clout.
Here's a headline for Housefather: Posting on Instagram does not mean you are moving the needle an inch. You are not.
Your party, including Melanie Joly, Justin Trudeau, Chandra Arya all believe in the gaza health ministry and the numbers they put forward when it has been proven that they are lying.
They are all happy to give unwra money knowing full well they were part of the October 7 massacre.
Here is a quote from Arya's interview on the CBC. We will tell you that he is taking is information directly from the gaza health ministry which has been proven to lie and use their hospitals to hide their terrorists.
"I understand the anger of the Israelis that the terrorist organization attacked and killed their innocent families, women and children included, and they want to eliminate this Hamas. However, the cost of that operation has gone much beyond what I can accept. As of today, more than 5700 have been killed in Gaza including more than 2700 children."
Who is this piece of drek to say that what Israel is doing has gone past what he can accept? He wants a tw0-state solution with the 'poor palestinians' getting their own state as a reward for their barbaric attack on Israeli men, women, children and babies on October 7.
When hell freezes over. Welcome to Anthony Housefather's liberal party.
We'll talk...
