And now a word on the ongoing fires in California. It was on the very first day of this catastrophe that we had Democrats stepping all over each other in an effort to get in front of any microphone to scream about how it’s ‘climate change’ that’s to blame. On the contrary, what’s to blame is lousy forest management on the part of those in charge of running the state. They knew this was coming, and the steps that should have been taken to prevent it. The fault of this entire disaster lies 50 percent on the Democrats, 50 percent on natural events, and 0 percent on President Trump, global warming, conservatives, toxic masculinity, warts, as well as the Easter Bunny.
And it was during Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN News
Central” that one of those previously mentioned Democrats, Rep. Brad Sherman, stated
that the cuts to the Los Angeles Fire Department’s budget will likely be
reversed “and should be. And they were perhaps ill-advised, but they’re not a
reason why the Palisades have suffered this. This was money to train people in
2025.” He said, “And if, for political reasons, you can explain that that
somehow affects firefighting on the ground now…I don’t know how you would do
that.” This goes way beyond the subject of funding; this is incompetence. This
is exactly the kind of stupidity that caused this problem.
Sherman said, “Well, the budget cuts relate to money
that’s going to be spent in 2025 and were chiefly for training. And I’m pleased
to have gotten the federal government to give us a new site that we’re going to
use for firefighter training in my district. I would expect that there will be
appropriations at the L.A. city level for our firefighters that go beyond what
they’ve done so far. Looking back, it’d be, — obviously, you can say we should
have done — these cuts, I think, will be reversed and should be. And they were
perhaps ill-advised, but they’re not a reason why the Palisades have suffered
this. This was money to train people in 2025."
He continued, “And if, for political reasons, you
can explain that that somehow affects firefighting on the ground now then
you’re — I don’t know how you would do that.” But it is not ‘political’ to
blame gun deaths on guns, rather than on the person who pulls the trigger? Duh!
But in this case, it certainly was political to cut the budget. Just as it was
political to fire all the firemen who wouldn’t take the shot and was political
to have a DEI chief who focused on training social issues instead of on putting
out fires. Democrats all have this incredible ability to ignore the truth. They
never fail to find creative excuses to justify their own blatant incompetence.
And because Democrats are all very well aware of the
many reasons behind this disaster, I think it safe to say that they’re now
quite desperate to convince the victims their disaster that what they seeing occur
right before their own two eyes has a very plausible explanation. And that Democrats
are in no way to blame for the continuing disaster. We’ve heard every excuse imaginable;
they’ve even resorted to blaming it on their catch all excuse for every
‘weather’ calamity that might come along, ‘climate change.’ After all, there’s
no way it could be blamed on budget cuts or the failure to make it a priority
to properly prepare for just such a calamity.
And it would appear the Mayor of LA is a perfect
example of what the voters get when they elect the DEI and Affirmative Action ticket.
They don’t get qualified individuals with the necessary skillset to do the job.
But they do get leaders based on sexual orientation and skin color. And LA
County’s push for DEI sure saved the day, as LA’s Fire Marshal Kristen Crowley possesses
a rather impressive level of incompetence, which encompasses others negligence
in water management and their omissive forestry-controlled burns. And she can
be proud that so far it is only tens of thousands of acres that have thus far
been burned.
Sherman is nothing more than another example of your
basic Democrat nitwit. Any moron who votes for morons like this deserves exactly
what they get. This is the perfect example for why one should never again vote
for any Democrat. Never! Sherman personifies Democrat Party criminal cult
incompetence and arrogance. They do stupid stuff. Disaster results. People
suffer pain, loss, and die. And then the depraved, deranged, dysfunctional
politicians whine about it being “political” to draw attention to their
incompetence and arrogance! If these wildfires don’t sour California voters on
the Democrat Party criminal cult then I don’t suppose anything will!
Had California allowed landowners to clean up
deadfall and not been so worried about some ‘three toed spotted newt,’ this
would never have happened. The environmental regulations that created this mess
were all done in the name of “species protection,” not the human species.
Farmers and landowners faced large fines for cleaning up their properties on
the premise that it might displace some protected species. And not to revel in
some rich Hollyweirdo’s problems, it’s now finally hitting home for these actors/actresses/celebrities,
hopefully it wakes them up too. But it likely will not. Most are simply too far
gone, they have the money to rebuild, so it’s no big deal.
Look, I’m certainly no expert on the subject, but
I’m pretty sure the issues regarding the lack of water, not enough firemen, the
lack of reservoirs and failure to clear the deadwood, are all political and it’s
about damn time the Democrats were forced to own up to their blatant failures. Oh,
and because the majority of Californians have been voting for these failures
for decades, no bailout for them. They lost their insurance coverage because
they voted to put price controls on property insurance rates. The fools screwed
themselves. Sadly, there are good, intelligent people who were still in the LA
area who have been harmed by everyone else’s stupidity.
And of course, it’s political, when Democrats are
concerned it’s always political. One party has ruled the state and major urban
areas for over 50 years. They’ve systematically defunded both the police and the
fire departments. They’ve installed DEI boobs in positions of power. Crime has
exploded and now fire departments all across the state lack the ability to
contain very predictable fires. And what response does that same party have?
It’s not our fault, it’s ‘climate change,’ nobody could have predicted, blah
blah blah. Complete lack of leadership and no solutions. Californians voted for
this. Your state is swirling around the toilet. What are you going to do?
And why is that every time the Democrats find
themselves in a situation such as this does just the mere mention of it by
those on the other side earn accusations of playing politics. And yet these
same Democrats see nothing wrong with politicizing, and/or exploiting, any
tragedy or catastrophe if they think there are any points to be made. Such as a
weather event like Hurricane Katrina or some school shooting. They always see themselves
as being above reproach when it comes to incidents like Palestine Ohio or
Hurricane Helene. And if Federal agents act politically like refusing aid to
people with Trump signs, well I guess that's just an isolated incident, eh?
Experts have been warning the state to build more
catch basins and reservoirs, but the politicians laughed and said it wouldn't
do us any good for the thirty years it took to build them. Now it’s more than
thirty years later and look where we are. These types of politicians are beyond
disgusting. They use one level (training) and base their position on that issue
hoping the citizens are simply too stupid to grasp their misdirection. Money is
fungible, there is not money that says ‘training’ and Sherman knows damn well
his argument is total BS for nothing more than political cover. Sherman
provides an effective example of the dishonesty of too many politicians.
Someone should explain to Sherman
that most stupid policies are political, with some being rather dangerous. This
is an example of that. DEI and the environmental hoax led the state to hire
firefighters who can’t fight fires or save people, gut the budget for the
equipment and resources to do so, all while pushing the alphabet soup agenda
with precious dollars by pursuing an agenda that has nothing to do with
fighting or preventing fires. California should have built reservoirs years ago
instead of letting millions of gallons of water flow into the Pacific. This
fire is a man-made disaster made worse by bad political decisions. And it’s
fair to blame those who made those decisions.
