Actually there’s a science to firefighting. It’s taught at the Bachelor’s level, at least, at every land grant school in the US.

And that’s before even the conversation about the hydrology of making certain all the fire hydrants are pressurized.

And these arrogant bitches are out having their gas day parades, patting themselves on the back for being gay and for cosplay as firefighters.

You are totally missing the point.

She is an ideological revolutionary.

They are dangerous to any organization—no matter how talented they are, no matter how strong their resume.

It was white guys across the board thru the decades since the 60s who have backed up before these dishonest angry cows and PUT them into their positions of responsibility and power.

Which is true……so what they do is make women captains, chiefs, lieutenants or office jobs. Of course, these positions should require years of ground experience, coming up thru the trenches. Instead they stand back and watch the men fight the fires and scream orders, having no idea what they are doing.

“It was white guys across the board thru the decades since the 60s who have backed up before these dishonest angry cows and PUT them into their positions of responsibility and power.”

Agreed—and many even called themselves “conservatives”.

The left sucker punched us.

Now it is our turn.

LA Already Shipped Firefighting Equipment To Ukraine, And Now Biden Is Planning Another Handout As California Burns
The Federalist ^ | January 08, 2025 | Breccan F. Thies

Posted on 1/9/2025, 12:26:13 PM by Kazan

The Los Angeles County Fire Department shipped equipment to Ukraine in 2022, and now the Biden administration is working overtime to send the country millions more in handouts as wildfires devastate California.

Perhaps ABC 7 put it best in 2022 when it declared that “all over southern California people are finding ways to keep Ukraine front and center and it’s no different for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.”

....,...........

2022 huh?

Same year your favorite Chief got the job,right?

Ukraine front and center for the LA County Fire Dept

You’re totally unserious.

Have a great day.

You keep doing this. You'll just grab some random links to things that kinda say what you're saying, and you expect me to go through and refute all that so I can make my point, I guess? Ever hear of the Gish Gallop fallacy?

You’re the one defending her like she’s a relative..

I’d suggest you stay away from LA fire posts until she puts them out..

Then celebrate her and the mayor and governor..

The negative vibes here about LA and California officials might trigger your defense mechanism..

Why is it some of you seem to think you know everything about everything?

Because we do.

It's kind of a bad time to reflexively defend incompetent public officials who explicitly promoted DEI polices instead of competence at critical public safety jobs.

Protected class affiliations are what got them into their positions. The results are predictably bad.

The biggest losers are Gays/Lesbians/Blacks/ etc, who are actually competent at their jobs. They are unfairly judged by their associations with the protected classes.

No, it does not have to be that way. Fixing the problem involves not having protected classes immune to criticism.
