A lot of important and influential people and donors are being hurt by this conflagration:
it won’t help Newsome, Bass or other politicians and it hurts the causes of the left.

A lot of the left’s causes and arguments are being consumed by the fire.


Nice take.

No sarcasm intended, it really comes down to the entirety of the USA in one word, “VOTERS.”

I watched a news documentary that stated that most of the fires were started by homeless people camping.

I think October first is when rainfall measuring resets and yes we haven’t had much rain here yet.

I’ll add another one: Homeowners who d7dnt do what they could to make their homes more fire resistant.

And a note to whomever it was who was wondering why tile roofs were burning, my bet is they may not have had an underlayment that met wildland-urban Class A fire codes.

“2 down, which state is next?”

I’m thinking Oregon and Washington are next.

And I’d also bet those complex roof shapes don’t help.

Might it be due to rampant legal and illegal immigration roiling our politics, diverting money and effort away from doing what is important, and 3rd world arsonists? I think so because this disaster was entirely preventable.

Sure, I think that same scenario happens all over the nation. Mount Adams in Cincinnati one is example that I can recall. It has splendid views overlooking the downtown area and the Ohio river. Somebody made a bundle on that deal..

There’s no real available ‘tinder’ in NYC, as compared to the underbrush and vegetation on CA’s hillsides, for the firestorm to flourish and spread wildly. It will have to be a relatively small thermonuclear device, detonated at ground level, to cleanse that festering shithole.

Lock him up where any mirror he could have access to is made out of stainless steel. For Gavin Newsom, that would be torture.

People in leadership skills with no leadership skills. Just diversity and green new deals.

The bigger problem is that these people drive away those who would actually be good at the job, so in the end, incompetent people are your only choices.

We’re only 18 days into winter. I don’t know what metric this “journalist” is using....the season, or the 1 October date.

Smelts Rule!

That's what I was going to get to this morning. I had to check a couple of sources first because I'm ready to name names there.

Yeppers !!!

They have the entire Pacific Ocean to get water from to firefight with !!!

Certainly they have a portable water pump or 2+ somewhere and some spare pipe and fittings !!!

Salt water doesn’t burn unless it’s got petroleum on it. Worry about flushing the water lines out after they get the fires out !!!!!!

}{€££ even Forrest Gump knows that...

Why is it burning...LIB voters, policies and politicians and government employees. LIBs are the Reverse Midas of our time. Everything they touch turns to sh**.
