Why Los Angeles is Burning.
Lesbian DIE Hires at Fire Department. See picture.
Fire Equipment went to Ukraine.
Firefighters were fired for refusing vax.
Bass cut budget by almost 20 million dollars.
Its how socialists wage war. From causation to response — to the outcomes and the resulting chaos and disaster.
When trump had power before... every major city had arson, overflowing violence... and mayhem.
It will only be ended when democrats socialists illegal alien criminals and anarchists are eliminated from positions of power and governance. Everywhere.
When I was first hired by a big city Fire Department the first DEI crap started creeping in around ten years prior. In my class they had to go down to over 700 to get a black female. Around 2500 people had taken the test which resulted in approximately 25 people being hired in 3 years off of that list.
Some of the ridiculous nonsense that went on to hire and promote DEI type people was literally unbelievable and definitely resulted in extreme problems in many cases. Much of it was a complete farce.
That deserves its own thread. With a barf alert, of course.

The problem isn’t too much rainfall, it is too much fire suppression.
When there aren’t frequent small natural fires and controlled fires, fallen branches and debris build up after a fire and don’t get removed, so the amount of debris becomes unmanageably large.
Then, when a fire finally does occur, there is so much fuel that it becomes enormous, and the temperatures reached are far higher than those in a controlled burn or a natural fire on properly managed land with little tinder.
These huge fires can create their own weather. They reach high into the trees rather than just burning low. And, the excessively intense heat kills the seeds and roots of native plants as well as destroying the fungal biome of the soil.
When rains then come, there are no native root systems left to hold the soil in place, as there used to be. And the biome, which helped soil retain moisture, is destroyed, so what soil is present is drier and sterile, and without the fungi which would normally break down fallen wood into soil. The dry dirt blows and washes away easily. Things spin out of control, each time leaving the land more barren than before, which is more suitable for invasive, flammable weeds than for the native plants.
What you say makes 100% sense.
I hope there can be a return to sanity.
Why Los Angeles is Burning?
Short answer is “God” has brought his wrath.
You can add to your list: “Governor ignored advice of President Trump”, and link it to the video of Trump telling Newsom to practice good forestry, and to retain the water God sends instead of making it flow out to sea.
No; ABOVE average rain. Rain that could’ve been retained in reservoirs, but wasn’t. On purpose.
Gavin Newsom and everyone like him can go straight to HELL.
“if they had any honor, they’d admit their failures publicly and then fall on their swords.”
When the Mayor was accosted by the reporter at LAX, she had the decency to at least APPEAR to be remorseful. Probably an act, though.
Wanna fix the undergrowth problem? There’s plenty of people out there who know the answer, and I’m but l one of them, and the answer is simple. Bring in goats you can turn them loose or you can Shepherd them but goats will eat all that undergrowth up and it’s natural. I guess maybe the mountain lion population would grow somewhat, coyote perhaps... but that can be controlled too.
Puts Liberals on the spot
Take the blame or finger your favourite Anti-Israel minority 😁
One hopes that lucky event is the end of Karen's political terrorism.
Oh, that makes sense. I was wondering about the reporter’s accent. So she didn’t have time to prepare a statement, and was caught off guard. Interesting.
The leftist revolution always consumes its own as well as everybody else.
Yup—that was the moment the Mayor realized that her gross negligence was an international story.
Their choice of politicians is the number one reason. Skin color, their genitals or lack of, their war on American infants and their freeloader policies is a good place to start to find out.
You make excellent points. Your comments about how these fires create their own weather adds validity to climate changers comments about man-made climate change. So in fact, climate change is a real thing in that liberals and Democrats are deliberately creating a scenario where they are harming the Earth.
Good point. I’ll find a link that shows this and add it to the list.
