President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he has ordered a halt to federal emergency funds for California to fight wildfires and manage its forests unless officials in the western U.S. state can "get their act together."
"Billions of dollars are sent to the State of California for Forrest fires that, with proper Forrest (sic) Management, would never happen. Unless they get their act together, which is unlikely, I have ordered FEMA to send no more money. It is a disgraceful situation in lives & money!" Trump wrote on Twitter.

Cut him some slack! At least he’s not beating up a blog pimp!(and I thought the post was kind of funny)
All California needs to be cleaned up. Doesn’t matter where you look, there is actionable causes. I would start with the money cutoff. Then place Xavier Becerrare in Prison for fraud and Espinoage. Arrest every Mayor of each sanctuary City. the Gov. The ex-Gov for Vote fraud. The people inflating the pensions will have to pay. Would save lots of money and then sell the State.

Wasn’t it just yesterday that CA was bragging about their billions in SURPLUS ???
Let them pay for their own clean-ups.
Illiteracy and confusion on your part, I suppose.
Fighting fires and rebuilding afterwards is not the job of the federal government.
No, it is not. And if there are any federal emergency funds available, they should be used to fight the federal emergency at the border.
State dangles money for road repair to cities and they demand road diets where the road lanes are removed. Instead of 4 you now have two. People are stuck in traffic as the crazy people want you on a bike or bus. People have died as a result too. See the northern brush fire in California from last year.
I agree...
Why can't a rational judge simply issue an opposing opinion?
