Fire still burning and BBC fact-checked the disaster already

Maybe now they can turn to fact-checking child rape gangs

Actually they fact checked two items and both were true. No water in some hydrants and fire dept budget was cut.

They are to blame. Decades of wrong priorities and neglect. Few people object to their transgender cafes and tampons on the boys room as long as the most important and critical needs of the people are met. But they have neglected and in some cases deliberately damaged the most critical aspects of government. They refuse to build desalination plants, they have torn down dams to reintroduce species of fish that haven’t lived there for a century, they sued Trump to prevent water pipelines, they dump freshwater into the ocean, they drained several reservoirs, they don’t refill the underground aquifers, they blew $100 billion on a speed train that hasn’t even laid a single inch of track and runs from farm town to farm town. Those farm towns don’t need an electric speed train, they need WATER! Just like the rest of us and all species on earth.

'cept this is what they came up with to declare it false...

In February 2020, during his first presidential term, Trump signed a memorandum aimed at directing more water from northern California to central and southern California. That memorandum was tied to the Central Valley Project, a federally-owned and operated water supply project that covers approximately 400 miles in California.

California responded to the memorandum by suing the Trump administration, arguing it would harm endangered species – including the Delta smelt, a small fish that calls the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in northern California home. It’s nearly disappeared from the Delta in recent years.

The outcome of that lawsuit is unclear. However, President Joe Biden’s administration and state officials announced new rules for operating the federal Central Valley Project and California’s State Water Project in December 2024.

But Trump’s plan would not have made a meaningful impact on the water supply in the Los Angeles area, where the wildfires are still burning.


semantics declares it false ? supposition without certain knowledge declares it false ?

President-elect Donald Trump has pointed a finger squarely at California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, who he said is responsible for LA's struggling water supply.

Trump has been saying that for at least five or six years.

Summarizing the problem.

1. Forests and shrub/scrub were mismanaged for 100 years.
2. Fuels built up.
3. Fires (no matter the cause) burn hotter, spread more quickly, move into crowns, burn homes and infrastructure.
4. HFR programs are resisted (by ignorant tree-huggers), expensive*, and inadequate for the expanse of at risk areas. (The world is BIG)
5. WUI - (where voters live) gets HFR, funding assistance, and grants -
6. Many strategically superior target treatment areas are neglected.

* not just the treatment costs but treatment planning, management, permitting approvals are huge cost factors. Again, I blame liberals for ridiculous regulations
