And Suddenly, Gavin Newsom's Electric Car Mandate Looks Pretty Dumb to LA Fire Victims
PJ MEDIA ^ | 01/17/2025 | Victoria Taft

He'll save the inedible bait fish, the weed that no one's ever heard of, elevate meritless executives, and kill the gas car. Those are the highest environmental aspirations of Gavin Newsom, the alleged visionary governor of California, whose distorted priorities have combined to create the conditions for LA Inferno 2025. As the smoke begins to clear, the cruel environy is dawning.

Even now, the homeless LA gliteratti, who soon may be allowed to sift through the ashes of their homes in hopes of finding the gold coins that looters haven't dug up yet, wonder how they could have been so gullible. They bought Newsom's climate change diktats hook, line, and gas can, and now their electric car doesn't work.

Their beloved Tesla and their neighbor's Nissan Leaf are charred carbon hulks considered by the environment police to be portable toxic waste dumps. I'm sorry, sir, and you can't move it until we've studied the environmental externalities of your charred car. Grab a number.

And no mocking these poor folks, America, because this Caltastrophe may have bought more time for the rest of the country to shout down the climate cultists in state houses across the country. California's proof of concept showed that climate nirvana doesn't protect the environment for humans.

Indeed, though less important, it's now dawning on Angelenos, more than a week after the fires started, that they're witnessing the incineration of all the "greenhouse emissions reductions" promised in Newsom's 2035 gas car ban.

More pointedly, if you have no power for a week, as thousands of Los Angeles residents who live near the evacuated fire areas have experienced, you can't charge your car battery. What happens if the fire spreads and you can't get out?

So, When their lives depended on it, the liberal government diktats and mandates didn’t help, but gas cars sure did.

California is clearly retarded.

Yet, they inherited trillions of dollars.

Their surplus federal taxes support several states. $120 billion PER YEAR in surplus payments.

What to do?

How does one un-retard an entire state?

The best way to view Newscum: a narcissistic, self-serving adulterer.

I wonder if the gas stations there have backup generators to run the pumps when the grid is down.

With forensic audits, grand jury indictments and federal prison time. I've heard that there is going to be a new Dept. of Justice in Washington DC. So I've heard.

Never let a crisis go to waste. Before long I think we will see 20-30 story luxury towers on the pricey coastline property. Instead of putting up expensive luxury 10-20 million dollar homes again, it seems that state and municipal government would make more money on property taxes from pricey luxury high rises. The CA coast will look more like the towers in Miami, Chicago and along Hudson and East rivers in NYC. The politicians like Newscum were doing shoulder shimmies thinking about all the money they’ll be getting from developers and contractors for their political campaigns and off shore accounts all to grease the skids.
Nero did it to make way for his palace and eventually the Colosseum was built Newscum is no different.

Newsom’s mismanagement as far as fire prevention was so bad it was criminal, in my opinion. He should not only be recalled but in jail.
