johnny maga @_johnnymaga Just 4 months ago in LA County, Trump spoke about the need for California to send more water downstate:

"You have so much water...you could revert water up into the Hills, where you have all the dead forests...the land would be damp—and you'd stop many of these horrible fires."

Throwback to that time President Trump stood next to Gavin Newsom and stressed Forest Management in California.

Leftists ridiculed him for it.

Elect Democrats who impose their wacky enviormental and social policies, then watch civilization rot and in this case burn. A culture that embraces neo pagan, hedonistic decadence cannot survive.

There’s no water to fight the wildfire in Los Angeles

Just a reminder that California voters approved a ballot measure to have more water storage built & Gavin Newsom still hasn’t done it.

As a result, millions of gallons of snow melt and rain pour into the Pacific Ocean

They tried to build another canal in 1980 but the people voted it down.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read that some of those funds were used to remove the Klamath River dams.

Also seeing there was a measure to stop the increasing rates for homeowners’ policies so State Farm exited the state of California. That resulted in 1,600 houses in Pacific Palisades left with no insurance several months ago.

The DEI hire mayor cut the firefighting budget $17 million.

He spoke on this topic at length when address the California Republican convention in Anaheim too. Detailed the needs for fixes.

As we know the “leaders” did nothing. Common sense things like disallowing the public camping/rvs, filling reservoirs, rehiring fired emergency personnel, getting the big helicopters, encouraging the insurance industry, good forest management…. No no we couldn’t do any of that. We all saw it coming. But we aren’t the leaders and can’t implement these necessary safeguards.

Yes.

But don’t think there’s not been enough water in LA to have maintained hydrant functionality.

They certainly spent California tax dollars to remove our dams.

That’s the problem with terrible Democrat-run cities.

The taxpayers / conservatives / ‘get out while you can’ folks exit and then = Detroit.

Then with Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, Atlanta, New Orleans = easier to control the state.

Their FAILURE = political success for them.

NOPE. Gotta save the frogs and build solar panels. California bureaucrats know what is best. And Californians overwhelmingly vote for it. Especially know it all celebrities.

““I voted today. Top of my mind, as I considered all candidates, is protecting women’s rights to medical privacy and reproductive choice,” Witherspoon wrote on Instagram Friday. “This is a critical time in our shared history to vote for the candidate that represents the future we want to see. That’s why I voted for Kamala Harris for President. For my daughter and for the millions of hard-working American women who value our freedoms.”” - Reese Witherspoon

Well at least she can still get an abortion in California because that’s what’s really important.

These famous liberals will LOVE when they have to fight the Coastal Commission and CARB when they try to rebuild their homes.
