Astonishingly devastating fires are burning mostly unchecked in Los Angeles, destroying whole neighborhoods, and see if you can spot the problem in this Yahoo News update I found in my inbox this morning:
Thousands of acres of fire burning into (and then straight through) neighborhoods; 1,400 firefighters. In Pacific Palisades alone, where the biggest fire started first, we’re below one firefighter per two acres of fire. I’ve spent most of my life in California, and a quite common experience is to be in way-Northern California, say for example, and watch a line of fire engines go racing past from San Diego and Newport Beach, 500 miles from home. We deal with big fires with prompt statewide mutual aid, a well-practiced system. I live near the Eaton fire, which is burning in the hills above Pasadena, and I listened all night for the cavalry to arrive. The cavalry, bizarrely, does not seem to have arrived. And so I’ve been watching houses burn, on the news, with reporters present but no firefighters.

95% of the millions of gallons of freshwater lost over concern about the smelt fish.
Chaos = opportunity for Dems. “Never let a crisis go to waste.” Billions of dollars in help (unlike the folks in North Carolina) of federal tax bucks and it’ll fund the new liberal utopia.
Do you also know the other lack of water problem? No bathrooms work! REAL Third World Country SHXX right here in Hollywood! If you dumbasses do not run your “leaders” out with pitchforks, then I just don’t know what to say.
God gave Noah the rainbow sign
No more water, but the fire next time
I hope the Fish is safe , D’oh
It’s the Hawaii fire all over again😞wonder how many dead will be found after the fire & if the cops are actually stopping people from fleeing like they did during the Hawaii fire.
...Yup, the earth must be purified before His return (YIKES!)
“Woe to men who wishes for the day of The Lord, for the Day of The Lord is Darkness...” Amos 5:18 (pretty much all the later parts of Amos).
Anyone notice a pillar of salt standing around?
DEI mayor Karen Bass cut the fire budget by $17 million - she wanted $25 million - wonder if that has anything to do with a lack of fire fighters.
The firefighters should be using their equipment and resources in high intensity areas, while "every man on deck" should be the watchword everywhere else, as citizens handle the low intensity stuff like this themselves. My guess is citizens would probably be able to find a standard bucket and do a better job than this ridiculousnesss.
Clear the beach front, never be able to rebuild. That maybe the next news.
I read that as Arachnotyranny.
Why’d it have to be spiders?
