If the system can only be fixed by being broken first, then i guess that’s how it will have to be.......

A few of those affected may sour a bit on their communist paradise government. The vast majority of communists in CA will continue on their merry way, feeling good about their virtue.

Bernie Sanders has already said that the California fires are due to Climate Change, and the GOP’s unwillingness to address that issue.

So will the mainstream media put the blame where it really belongs, or will they follow Bernie’s lead? I’m betting on the latter.

About 186 dams have been removed in CA.

100 Broken down fire engines need repair.

7 years wait for a white guy to get an LAFD interview, 1 day for a black woman.

No water drop capability like up here in WA and OR.

Hydrants out of water.

$20,000,000 Budget Cut for the fire department.

LA mayor in freaking Ghana.

Lesbo fat fire chief.

Water impounded for smelt and the snail darter fish.

The list goes on and on. LEFTISM caused these fires. Los Angeles merely reaps the crop their leftist policies sowed.

Times have changed, it’s a brave new world, yuou can’t continue to hold on to those rigid principles. How dare you complain because they can’t live up to your standards and expectations. There are a lot of people on the lower half of the scale of competency, and they need those jobs...

And all that smoke in the air...all the solar cells stopped working

OMG.... Global Warming....expect global warming on steroids.

Why is this happening? People are so afraid of being called racist or homophobe they are frozen and will do nothing. It has been well known for eons that there are good reasons for not putting sexual deviants in positions of responsibility. Same with blacks. Look at the power mad black “judges” persecuting Trump. There is room here for all, but all do not belong at the head of the table. Nothing mean about that, just inconvenient facts.

The ultimate irony is the very celebrities and uber rich whose mansions burned to the ground are the very supporters and funders of the likes of Bass, Newsom (and Biden, Obama, Hilary, etc.) - why their always visiting the area, flying in on private or government jets to $10,000/plate fund raisers.

You can be sure they’ll continue as before and have these same fund raisers for the likes of Kamala Harris when she runs for governor of the state - and will continue the policies of Newsom - refusing to send water to So Cal to protect a non-commercial, non-native fish, the Delta Smelt - enforcing DEI policies over people’s safety and refusing to clean up the underbrush in fire-prone areas, which allows these fires to rage uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom, who vetoed plans to send water to bone-dry So Cal to protect a non-commercial, non-native fish is blaming local residents for fire hydrants running out of water:

Gov. Newsom passes the buck to ‘local folks’ when asked about hydrants running out of water during Pacific Palisades fire

“. . . there is no water coming out of the fire hydrants. LA Mayor Karen Bass is on a foreign trip to Ghana.”

Karen Bass in the LA mayor’s office: a fish outta water (at several levels).

These are GRASSLAND and CHAPARRAL fires, NOT forest fires. “Dr John” clearly does not understand that.

Starting 150 to 175 years ago, invasive Mediterranean annual grasses wereintroduced into California displacing the native grasses. The native grasses were perennial grasses that were adapted to surviving long dry summers and very wet winters. But they lived over many years. The invasive grasses are fast-growing annuals that grow 4-5 feet high in one season, mature in May, die off, and leave behind large fuel loads. They are much more flammable than the native grasses and chaparral. The characteristics of the fires changed enormously when the non-native grasses took over and crowded out the native plants.

While his points about preparedness and investing in water infrastructure are certainly valid, he is off base discussing the Southern California ecosystems and fire.

I can’t think of one area of life that women have moved into in force since 1970 that hasn’t fallen apart, from law, to science, military, universities, government, law enforcement, public schools as principals and leaders and nationally unionized teachers, corporate heads and in dealing with the international business competition, outdoors management and park rangers, it is as though everything in America has a limiting governor on it and is restrained, creativity, aggressiveness, and winning, dampened.
