FYI, .@realDonaldTrump!
“...guess who owns much of the forest land in CA? Your federal agencies. CA only owns 2%. Guess who cut funding to forest management in the budget? YOU DID.” ~@tedlieu https://t.co/aXRArq6Tu8— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) November 10, 2018

Yes, federal funding or not, California never took care of their forests and trails. The fires were not caused by a lack of federal funding.
I for one believe you are correct as most often public monies are diverted from their intended purpose by the Democrats for the ultimate purpose of buying votes from whomever they believe is relevant to their cause du jour. This is what has happened to the previous gas tax money we have been, and still are charged at the pump, along with the new taxes. Doesn’t go to fix the roads. Goes to the party to buy votes, or is diverted to welfare organizations to buy votes. Ultimately such theft by the Democrats is always for buying votes.
Environmental wackos have blocked entrances to federal forest lands in CA so that the Feds can’t even get to them so they can be managed.

Migrant Caravan Decides On California Crossing
Jerry’s Kids.
The Forest Service has quit logging and the forest they manage has gone to hell...
The private lands own by he lumber companies do not burn up...
Most of the forest in the west are dead...pine beetle...the forest service never sprayed
California had a wet spring ...the underbrush had a lot of growth and a very hot summer...
For as long as I can remember California has had two seasons...Fire and mud. I don’t think President Trump will do anything to change that.
These fires have been happening long before Trump became president. The Sierra Clud types who insisted on eliminating timber cutting and insane state rules governing the way land owners use their private property went a long way in setting the stage for these fires.
The Federal government owns about 57 percent of the forests in California but the state law covers the rest and this is where a lot of the fires that get out of control are.
Idiots who insist on keeping old growth at “all costs” are now seeing the “all costs” come to roost
“Anyone have a rebuttal?”
I don’t think there is one. Other than this...
The USFS budget was cut by a real 15%. It was not an across the board cut, but Wildland Fire Management budget was preserved.
Additionally, the USFS will significantly increase timber sales. And it’s the timber companies that do the hard work of forest management. Roads, bridges, burning of slash and brush.
And building the greatest firebreaks ever devised by man: The Clear Cut.
OK. How much was cut and what were this funds supposed to be used for?
See #48.
Thanks! Cool, he endorsed it! LOL! I guess he had the same problem.
Fetuses with a heartbeat are not safe.
Prior to 2000 there were 9 fires. Years 1923 thru 1999, 76 years, 9 fires.
Between 2000-2017 there has been 1 fire every year! 17 years, 17 fires. 2015 study done 2 see if global warming caused the increase.
What is Different?

California is broke. The money they get from the Federal Government after one of these fires is a God send to them. Just saying.
Correct!
If you are not spending the funds we give you to get something done we are paying for then why send you more that you will just spirit off and use for something stupid as they have been doing
I live in Calif and I say to the “officials” you have been squandering the money you have been given and all of a sudden you have a problem you created and you want to blame someone else??
Same thing with the actions DJT too to stop flowing water from the delta into the ocean and to the farmers in the central valley whose farms and orchards were being ruined by starving them out and denying them the water they needed to survive. And we here know why. Fineswine and her robber husband can pick them up cheap and then create mega farms and I bet you the water would be on full tilt when they do.
I see what you did there, you rotten evil people.
Add to that allowing illegals to vote subverting our sacred process and it’s integrity is to me subversive by it’s very nature to the lawful function of our Free Republic and attempting to pull it down and set us up for inclusion into the One World Government you have sworn allegiance to you rotten traitors!
Live by the sword, die by the sword
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
Time to pay up!
The Regional Forester's name is Randy Moore. He is over every natl forest in California.
The trees in that image are ‘copy/pasted’ onto it. I will need to see an unretouched photo before I get outraged.
Yeah. And get a Tracfone to sign up for the Google Voice Number if you want to go the extra mile. I’m thinking about signing up for Mark’s service. My accounts are all banned on disqus. Haven’t tried Twitter, yet.
Heaven forbid you cur some of the millions of dead trees into firewood or home brew timber, Californica will hammer you into the ground like a tent post. You have to let it lay there and rot. Or buy a timber harvest permit and file environmental impact statements.
Once long ago America was free, now the Fascists own everything. And that is why Nobody is cleaning up the billions of board feet of lumber that is laying everywhere.
