California ready to help combat Texas fires (Have not officially received a request)
A state fire official told CalCoastNews today that California is ready to respond to a request from Texas authorities “should it come”
“Texas has come to us as well, and we have given them a rundown of our equipment,” a spokesman for Cal Fire said in Sacramento. “At this time, we have not officially received a request from them, but we have talked to them about what we can provide, knowing that we, too, are in the middle of fire season, and have been busy this last couple of weeks, especially.

He’s killing off the Kulaks.

I heard people saying to the FEMA guys, GO HOME! FEMA guys have a clipboard and a pencil.
One man with a chainsaw is worth more than ten with a clipboard!
