California Wildfires

Los Angeles officials KNEW they were unprepared to defend city from wildfires

"L.A. Fire Chief Kristin Crowley warned Mayor Karen Bass last month the $17+ million she cut from the department's budget 'severely limited the department's capacity to prepare for, train for, and respond to large-scale emergencies, including wildfires'.

The letter warned the budget cuts on the fire department, imposed by the city during a time period when it was fulling embracing spending plans for "diversity" and the like, have "severely limited the department's capacity to prepare for, train for, and respond to large-scale emergencies including wildfires."

Multiple deaths already have been confirmed and hundreds, probably thousands, of homes and businesses have been lost to at least half a dozen fires that have raged, aggravated by high winds, over the last week.

"While our pals on the Left are screeching about climate change being at fault for the devastating fires we're all watching in California in real-time, the reality of the situation and how badly LA has and other affected areas have been managed and cared for is becoming more and more obvious."

Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way. He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didn’t work!), but didn’t care about the people of California. Now the ultimate price is being paid.

I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA! He is the blame for this. On top of it all, no water for fire hydrants, not firefighting planes. A true disaster!

@3:33...Just because she flew the LGBTQIA+ Pride Flag above Los Angeles City Hall during Pride month doesn't make her a Lesbian. OK? Our Left dais in our city supports Pride month.

Let's not make this about men or women holding the position...the problem is that the job needs to be handled in a meritocracy ( best person for the job --- better skills and performance make you better)...and instead, the job was a DEI hire....meaning NOT hired for her skill, but instead as a quota. And she proved she lacks the skills for the job, or the common sense.
