Gavin Newsom can't be trusted with billions in bail-out money for the torched neighborhoods of Los Angeles. That much is obvious to your humble West Coast, Messed Coast™ correspondent.
That's what you call a cold open to this week's West Coast, Messed Coast™, report where I've been keeping close track of the fire response. Gavin Newsom and his minions in public office — especially L.A. Mayor Karen Bass — can't be trusted to properly account for what will be a years-long effort to rebuild the charred parts of L.A. County.
The governor who lost or misspent BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in COVID funds and didn't bother to keep track of BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in homeless funds can't be trusted with billions more in federal government largesse.
Don't you do it, Trump. I have a solution.
Trump should tell Newsom during his disaster visit that he won't give him one dime of federal funds unless it comes with a large pirate wearing a green eyeshade and armed with a rusty old hook. In other words, a special master. Newsom wants no strings attached on any of the money, but Trump's not that dumb. He can and should name his own special master to govern the disbursement of the taxpayer funds.
President Trump gets a first-hand view of the devastation and hears the stories of the people whose memories have been incinerated and who are hoping to rebuild their paradise with the least amount of government intrusion. Newsom is hoping to hijack Trump and manage him during this trip.
Four major fires remain burning in L.A., one large fire is 70% contained in Ventura County, two fires in Riverside County are 90% surrounded, and San Diego County has two wildfires, one mysteriously along the border.

Newscum is already asking to contributions for LA on his political website, through ACTBlue, which manages his political fund raising. I can just imagine where some of that money will end up.
Simple bland California pays for something they bring the receipt then we reimburse him, maybe
I have a better idea. If California wants federal money REMOVE both Newscum and LA’s mayor. They’ve already f***kedup the State and City.
The High-Speed Rail boondoggle needs a thorough investigation.
My thoughts too. Bass will use the money to fund more FROOT LOOP activities. Newsom will send the money to China.
Bass will be indicted. Corruption.
Governor Hair laundered that money back to the DNC.
Where do you think Pelosi's campaign chest comes from?
Before the other 49 states give an Federal money to California, Trump needs to force California to implement VOTER ID.
If only LEGAL residents in California were allowed to vote, I suspect CA would no longer be a Democrat Hell Hole.
Voter ID
Clean Voter Registration Rolls
No more Jungle Primaries
Fully implement REAL ID
Prosecute all non-citizens who are currently registered to vote in CA
NO MONEY WITHOUT CLEAN ELECTIONS IN CA!!!!
ALSO THE FIRE EQUIPMENT NEEDING REPAIRS & NO MECHANICS HIRED
LA HAS SOME OF THE FINEST MECHANICS IN EXISTENCE.
CLASSIC CARS ABOUND THERE
RACING IS ALL OVER THE AREA
THIS IS A MONUMENTAL ERROR By BASS & NEWSCUM
END MAIL IN VOTING ALL OVER THE USA.
WE VOTED FOR OVER 200 YEARS IN PERSON. IT WORKED FINE.
RETURN TO THAT
NO RANKED CHOICE VOTING, EITHER
Don’t forget no ballot harvesting and no automatic mail in ballots.
Trump should demand that CA transfer billions from wasted social welfare spending before spending a cent of fed money. He should also demand a thorough reform of CA’s corrupt election laws.
My thoughts exactly.
“””Don’t forget no ballot harvesting and no automatic mail in ballots.”””
Yes, those are two good additions to my list.
When Trump was in NC yesterday, he said he was going to make Voter ID in California a condition before they get Federal money to rebuild. I hope he keeps that condition. California needs to get a new attitude and stop spreading their crazy ideas to other states.
Hilarious. You think you can trade mark messed coast.
Do you have it registered?
It's hotter there. Global warming. Mystery solved.
No one seems to care that the three black lesbians have twenty some-odd dead to their credit. Imagine if the press bothered to hang those corpses around their woke necks?
“President Donald Trump dismantled Democrat Representative Brad Sherman’s defense of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), arguing that state governments, not federal bureaucracy, should take matters into their own hands rather than waiting for federal incompetence.”
POTUS: “But each state should take care of their problem and get money from the federal government. It would be so much better, so much more efficient. We’re looking at that because we have had, and you’re going to have problems with FEMA, too.”
