As America impatiently awaits January 20th to begin living its new Golden Age, many foreign leaders worldwide are desperately scrambling to be awarded a coveted invitation to Donald J. Trump’s historic inauguration as the 47th US President.

The New York Post reported:

“By custom, foreign leaders don’t attend inaugurations of U.S. presidents, but Trump has thrown that precedent out the window, setting off the scramble after inviting Chinese president Xi Jinping to the Jan. 20 ceremony. Xi has already turned the offer down, with a top emissary expected to attend instead.”

Many heads of state are mobilizing their agents in Washington, D.C., to be included in this exclusive event.

“’They’re all going crazy. Chile, Peru, Nigeria, Mozambique’, said one registered foreign agent, who added the leaders ‘were champing at the bit to attend’. For most, the answer is likely no.

‘I tell my clients the truth. You’re not going to be able to go. If you’re Costa Rica, there is just no way you get invited to this inauguration. What is the value add? You are not bringing business or major companies from your country’.”

Trump will be sworn in at noon by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, on the west front of the Capitol building.

After that, a multitude of balls and parties will then take place all over Washington.

Foreign leaders want to get a leg up in bringing their issues before the incoming administration and its allies.

But Trump has focused on inviting leaders close to him politically.

“Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said she had been invited and would try and make it. Argentina’s Javier Milei has been invited and plans to go. El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele — who has turned the nation around by cracking down on gang violence — has also been invited, as has former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

Another world leader who has been making furious overtures is Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky — who has publicly expressed interest in wanting to go as well. Trump has not formally invited the embattled Ukrainian leader but said last month that ‘if he’d like to come, I’d like to have him’.”

Tragic circumstances bring out the best and worst of humanity. In the case of the wildfires wreaking havoc across Southern California, we have seen both.

The worst offenders have been the hundreds of looters who have taken advantage of the homes not completely destroyed to grab incalculable amounts of goods.

One brave young woman, though, is taking a brave stand against these low-lifes with no help from the police. X user Diligent Denizen posted a video of the lady in action, showcasing how she is single-handedly putting her personal safety at risk to chase away looters in the LA neighborhood of Encino. Most of these looters do not speak a word of English.

This is an area near the Palisades fire, which began Tuesday, that is being used as an evacuation zone.

The video begins with the woman revealing that most of the people she sees are frequent ‘visitors’ to the area.

“In these cars, I have seen the EXACT SAME people moving around (for days),” she explains before springing into action. Within 30 seconds, she goes up to a dark car without regard for her safety and confronts one suspicious person in a dark vehicle.

“Can I help you?” she asks while holding a flashlight. After getting an inaudible response, she tells the man, “Yeah, there’s a fire, genius.”

Following the sequence, she and two men, who identify as journalists, erupt in laughter. One can be heard saying, “I really like you.”

ENDLESS STREAM OF LOOTERS IN NEWLY ANNOUNCED EVACUATION ZONE IN ENCINO NEAR PALISADES FIRE

As we canvas a new evacuation area, we meet a young woman who is chasing off looters by herself.

HERO!

A few moments later, a large white SUV pulls around looking for trouble but quickly vacates the scene after the group shouts “Policia” (Spanish for police) and says that cops are on their way.

Another white car carrying Hispanic-looking men soon pulls up but quickly flees the scene upon seeing the woman and her new group of friends.

“You ain’t getting sh*t!” one of the journalists shouts.

More cars continue to arrive to loot. But like the ones before, they vacate upon seeing the young woman.

While much of the video will invite chuckles from readers, it’s important to note she is potentially risking her life to stop crime. As we have seen across Democrat-run cities in America, crooks will not hesitate to pull out a gun and murder you in the street as they drive away.

More evacuation orders were put into place as the raging wildfire in Los Angeles, California, spread further Friday night and appeared to move towards Downtown Los Angeles. 

The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on the fires, which have killed at least five, and the state’s mismanagement of the crisis.

Due to Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass’s failed leadership and radical leftist policies, which cut $17.6 million from the Fire Department’s budget a few months ago and reduced the city’s water supply available in fire hydrants, firetrucks are now using residential hoses to fill up their water tanks after hydrants run dry.

And it doesn’t help that the Los Angeles Fire Chief is a DEI lesbian who is more concerned about hiring more women and gays than ensuring public safety. Additionally, Californians face the threat of criminals looting their evacuated homes.

YIKES: Gavin Newsom Slashed State Fire Budget by OVER $100 MILLION Just Months Before Deadly SoCal Wildfires

One local provided photos to The Gateway Pundit and said the blaze is burning east from the Mandeville Canyon area of Brentwood and "ironically, toward Kamala Harris' Brentwood house." Fox LA reported that the affluent area of Mandeville Canyon is an "area of concern."

The resident expects the fire to "rip through Bel Air" if it makes it over the 405 freeway corridor.

"Los Angeles has been turned into hell," they said.

Hat tip, Ari.

At least eleven have died, but officials still do not know the actual number.

ABC 7 reported live updates on the fire Friday night, indicating that "it's spreading now towards the valley" in the Encino area and highlighting the new mandatory and voluntary evacuations all the way up to Ventura Blvd.

WATCH:

The fire had burned more than 21,000 acres as of Friday night. KTLA 5 reported on the change in the fire's smoke direction due to an incoming sea breeze, noting the first time the smoke had blown toward downtown Los Angeles. Firefighters are working nonstop to stop the fire's spread.

Fire smoke is seen blowing intensely in toward the valley.

More from KTLA 5:

At least ten different aircraft were trying to extinguish the fire last night as it made its way toward downtown and other residential neighborhoods, per Fox. Fox was joined by a Californian who was helping others evacuate.

More from Fox 11:

The Gateway Pundit will continue to provide updates on the fires and California officials’ lackluster response.

Attorney David Clements interviewed Tina Peters on Friday at the Larimer County Jail in Colorado.

In October Tina Peters, a Gold Star Mother who lost son, was sentenced by a partisan Colorado judge to 9 years in prison for preserving election results that she was legally told to preserve when state officials demanded that the voting machines be scrubbed of results following the 2020 election. Tina is 69 and will be 78 when she is released from prison in Colorado.

Earlier this week Professor David Clements interviewed Tina Peters at the Larimer County Jail. Tina is having a rough time. Please pray that Donald Trump pardons this innocent woman.

Here is that interview with transcript below:

David Clements

All right, everyone. I’m in the Laramie County Jail with hero, Tina Peters, and I just wanted to give her a chance to check in with you all and tell you all what’s on her heart. Tina, just give us an update.

Tina Peters

Well, the only thing that keeps me going are you guys out there. It’s been some pretty dark days, I’ll be honest. I never, ever thought, and I’m sure you out there have never thought about being locked up in a small cell. Especially, a lot of these women here, probably all of them, have done something to deserve being here, either drugs or other offenses. But when you’re locked up and you’re innocent and you’re locked up for doing the right thing, it’s hard. It’s really hard because I don’t have anything in common with the people here, and you have no freedom. You really don’t have any freedom. We’re usually locked down most of the day. When we get out, it’s to have lunch. Our meals consist of… I finally got on a kosher diet because I knew I could get something fresh.

David Clements

Tell us a little bit about what a typical day looks like.

Tina Peters

Okay. All right. Well, 5:30 in the morning, they wake us up. The lights run 24/7, in our cells. But the bright lights, the brightest lights, come on at 5:30 in the morning, and then they stay on until 10:00 at night. We get out about that time to go have breakfast. My breakfast consists of an apple and peanut butter, which I’m grateful because that’s on a kosher diet. For lunch, I’m lucky if I get the Sliced carrots, raw carrots, and they give me cookies. The rest of the stuff I can’t eat. Then for dinner, we always get a sandwich. It’s either bologna and cheese, which I don’t eat bologna, or peanut butter and jelly, and it’s not the jelly that you get at home. Everything is very basic. Then the language these women use, the things they talk about. A lot of these women have been… I was sitting with a girl at breakfast today, and her mom, 43 years old, has always been an addict, and she’s in here. Her brother was in here. It’s just systemic. It just goes through families.

David Clements

You mentioned that behind you is the entertainment. The library.

Tina Peters

That’s the library. This is it. There’s There’s a few books that are not the type of books that most of us would want to read. Then the other two levels are Bibles, which you only need one Bible. You’re only allowed three books. You can’t receive books from outside. They say you can use your tablet. The tablet is an Android device that is not like an iPad at all. You don’t have internet, no internet access at all. I don’t even know what’s going on in the news, except for what what you can tell me.

David Clements

Then I want to ask you much of what you’ve been through, even though you’ve got so many tireless advocates that care about you, I shared with you the The Joe Hoft story where your mom reached out and asked that some of the articles that had been circulating to be sent to Trump. I just got back from DC for the Press Conference for the J6ers, you’ve been integrated into the J6 community because everything that you’re fighting for is a little of the same stuff that they have. But you’ve been convicted of state charges. We’re all praying for a miracle, not quite knowing how this is going to unfold. But if you could send a message to Donald Trump, whether it’s your case or all the J6 cases, what would your wishes be?

Tina Peters

Well, as you know, every Friday in my show, I was dedicated to the J6 community. Micki Witthoeft , Ashli Babbitt’s mom, was a dear friend as well as the other ladies with her Freedom Corner. I’ve been there, and it’s a really special place. These people are standing out there. They were standing out there just this past week and every night for over 700 days in snow, in the rain, … faithfully. It’s people like them that are standing up for people like us. That really means a lot.

But I would say to President Trump, we’re standing up for you. The election records that I preserved I’m the only one in Colorado, and maybe across the United States, that preserved the 2020 election records. All the rest of them in this state were erased, if not for doing the images, the before and after image before the trust to build. I don’t even like to call it that. We would not have those records. President Trump, there’s more clerks, there’s more election officials that want to stand up for transparent, free, fair elections. It needs to be fixed. We’re wishing. We were risking it all to make sure that every single person in this, not just the United States, but around the world… because we know that Venezuela was affected by this Brazil, many, many nations.

Tina Peters

This is going on in Serbia. The judge would not allow us to put in the emails from Serbia linking me and what was going on with what we found. I would encourage President Trump that you have someone review the Mesa County reports one, two, and three, if you haven’t already. We need to implement change before the midterms, because governors will be elected during that time and other legislators…

David Clements

Just the American people, MAGA has been seen by you, but right now, I just want to let you know that we we aren’t forgetting about you. We do love you. If you had a message to send to just the Americans out there, what would you tell them right now?

Tina Peters

You’re the wind under my wings. I had somebody ask me what I do in my cell. Really, it’s just the thoughts of getting out. You can’t acclimate to this life. You can never give up. You can never give in. You can never back down. I would say, stand up, ask God what it is that he’s called you to do in this lifetime and be about doing it and stand for something. I appreciate you all so much. I’m very grateful. I’m grateful for the yellow ribbon campaign, for the banners, for the letters, and for reaching out to President Trump. He is a great President, always has been, and we need to protect and make sure that our vote counts. Thank you all so much. I’m so grateful.

Here is the video:

Ask God what it is that he’s called you to do.
