Instead of caring for the land and people, California politicians ignore their responsibilities and divert money to pet causes, lining their own pockets along the way, while crying "climate change!"
It's hard to sympathize with Californians who are complaining about their elected officials, whom they return to office with every election. Californians get exactly what they voted for, good and hard.
This horrifying Governor 'Gruesome Newscum', 'Lone Scum', Soros, 'Benedict' Biden and Harris and even Trump, Vance, and 'Ramaswampy' et al are blatant fully owned and operated puppets of their globalist technocrat parasite masters same as other numerous 'PUBLIC SERPENTS' infesting by design from above, the bureaucratic apparatus.
BURN BACK BETTER!
All life everywhere is being assaulted by THE TECHNOCRATIC OMNIWAR! RESIST! DO NOT CONSENT TO ALL THINGS DIGITAL, 'SMART', AI, 5G, NO CASH - ALL OF IT! dhughes.substack.com Technocrat ruling class psychos get a sadistic thrill from their powers over life and death and hurting all who stand in their way and they need the resources worldwide to build their digital total slavery control grids (herd survivors into 15 minute city digital prisons)!
AI is designed to be anti-human/anti-life programmed by technocrat control freak psychos - garbage in = garbage out. Everyone got along just fine without all these absurd and downright satanic electronic gadgets that did not exist until recently. NOBODY NEEDS THIS AI CRAP!
Time to take down the 🖐 Geeee system every last one of them as this is why they set them up during convid even Telstra in Australia has forced us to the UN and AI garbage
I can't agree on the upcoming administration, I think we will see a change and improvements but Rome wasn't built in a day and they are facing hideous hatemongering, it's Soros and the dems who want power and destruction. AI is a ruination trying to come and I'm not playing. I hope others will refrain. Nobody needs phones except to make calls but the iphone is a jungle of things and ideas flashing sounds and sights at one constantly. I choose android for simplicity if one must have a smart phone. Most things should just have off and on switches...it's all trying to make us crazy. KISS aka. keep it simple, stupid.
I live in the Sierras and we are under constant threat of fires. Our county has the most incredible fire people, ground and air support. But it's never a matter of if, it's when our town will be in cinders. The powers of California don't care about us. But our local people are doing the best they can with what we have.
the method of fighting forest fires these days in Cali is to let them burn until all the combustibles have been consumed or if mother nature eventually puts them out.
true so at the last minute the DOD geniuses have come up with some "help" after the big damage is done. I hope Trump Vance fire them ALL and start over. The entire government system...some serious swamp drainage is definitely needed now more than ever.
yup but sadly I think ta them "combustibles" are houses & people...this is lookin' like Mao-Whee (an' speakin' of Mao--vs Hawaii--they even say the Mayor of LA is a certified card carryin' Communist trained by Castor himself egads).
It makes me so sad. I grew up in Santa Barbara. The 60's and 70's gave us tragic fires as well. I remember my mother packing our car ready to evacuate. Frightening for a six year old who had recently moved to CA. But as long as the eco warriors are more concerned with Delta smelt and the Coastal Commission has a short leash, the Democrats continue to control the entire state. At one time snow pack melt in the Sierra got diverted to LA while farmers in the San Joaquin Valley suffered. The state is in serious disrepair. Until that changes it will continue to die. We had a wonderful time growing up there. Those days are long gone. And it breaks my heart.
It is so sad. Those of us who remember. So many came from other places. It harder when you were born and raised there. Santa Barbara is still beautiful.
I grew up in the 60's in Woodland hills. I remember big rains in April, green hills which turned brown over the Summer. Fires starting in the late Fall with insurance companies cancelling policies ahead of the fires at that time. Then with the Winter/Spring rains came the mudslides...repeat.
they won't - sorry to be negative, but everywhere... there are still liberals running on leftist controlling ideas and ppl voting for their dumb policies. Most people do not connect the policies with conservative values.
Regarding California, yeah, it is SOOOO important to save the tiny little fish or bug that lives in the woods but then when you have a fire, gosh, so much for that idea!! Everything is gone.
Excellent article on the ineptitude of the California democrats.
Yes, fresh water smelts are (somewhat) important, but are they as important as peoples lives?
The massive budget increase to the LAPD was a knee jerk reaction to the BLM protests. The politicians out there bounce like pinballs from one flashy ding-ding crisis to another because they aren't looking out for the people who elect them, but for themselves. When are the voters going to actually see this?? Why are they SO blind?
I will never understand why anyone willingly moves to CA. Our goddaughter did 2 years ago. She loves it. I'm baffled. She paid an insane amount of money for a teeny tiny condo that needed to be gutted, she pays exorbitant taxes on that miniscule condo, and now she's watching fires burn just slightly north of where she lives. She could have gone anywhere in the country and she chose CA. Unbelievable.
I get how a young person might still want to move here, it can seem like a cool place to be, just like New York. And if they do it for carreer reasons, that's understandable. My daughter and my grandkids live in a beautiful pocket with such nice people and a lovely church. Still, I wish they would get out of California!
She chose there for school (and her husbands law firm was kind enough to agree to let him study for the CA bar (he passed) so he could still practice with their firm). I truly hope once she's done, they flee.
They blame BS climate change, or act surprised that fires are a fact of life, particularly in the Western US. No planning. No forward thinking. Not even acting in their ROLES (e.g., a mayor watching out for the CITY rather than a foreign country; the fire chief focusing on fire prevention rather than DEI; the governor focusing on the STATE rather than his next bid for president in 4 years).
As for elections in CA, I really cannot believe that there has not been widespread election fraud since the 90s and the widespread mail-in ballots. The Calif Dem machine is strong, yes. But you cannot rule out election fraud. Were these people really elected?
Being from California, yes, I think there are enough dumb and blind Californians. Even when they move to red states, they bring their voting polices with them. But maybe this will finally wake them up.
I moved to Encino around 1997 from the midwest and it was making a comeback downtown and the burbs were pretty much a delight and life was pretty good for all of us single midage gals, you could drive to the Bel Air or anywhere nice at night and be pretty safe. Freeways were not littered with homeless and filth and now friends are moving out of LA and it's a POS, Glad I moved to Palm Springs in 2004 before it started downhill. Yet, you voters keep voting for democrats....are you really that stupid or just nuts?
The timeline was very helpful - old newspaper headlines, orgotten now and not properly remembered, because fire is just fire. It provokes tragedies but is an element, and the elemental is seen as the inevitable. The NY Post focuses luridly on the celebrities. If entire cities are built to withstand earthquakes, can't a fire proof city be built? Future generations would learn to love them. Perhaps the budget of the fire department is less important in the face of this humbling chronology.
How do these people keep getting elected? I'll tell you how. They keep stealing it. The 2024 election was no different than 2022 or 2020. They keep counting votes until they have what they need. That's how they keep getting elected.
absurdly I hear Californy GAVE all their best fire fightin' equipment to Ukraine...really? I'm tendin' ta think this impossiBULL but I read that firefighters are usin' women's handbags as firebuckets b/c nothin' else is around...I mean this is surreal... of course it's set on purpose (DEWs likely) an' the laissez faire non-tendin' of brush seems just makin' it all easier fer a speedy demise of LA.
Why? Olympics comin'! Smart city needed an' there's too many homeowners & small biznesses in the way... I hear-say that some were tipped off an' many film biz execs already relocated in Nevada... all seems sus...
What I can say is they're wreckin' the nayshun coast 2 coast! Here Eastward we're havin' 0-20 degree weather an' freezin' our hinies off... I'm walkin' 'round our "shack" in full winter gear, triple longjohns an' wearin' a battery operated heat vest... the fam all bundled up....
It's all weather warfare .... I wonder if this is ta make it easier fer CCP or Russia or the next Caliphate... really that all sounds so insane but seein' it in real time an' feelin' like frostbite 24/7 I see no "logical" answer--egads!
ps always wanted ta visit (just visit) LA an' see "old" hollywood-- the ol' mansions an' tour of the stars of the 40s an' 50s... mebbe dream just went up in smoke...? in any event bet there's some predictive programmin' movie that tells this entire tale...
pps oh! I hear that the rainwater an' all water that should be reserved fer fire fightin' was "diverted" inta the ocean... huh?! folks cain't warter lawns or grow gardens, it's gotta be dumped? (anyone know more 'bout this...?)
It's hard to sympathize with Californians who are complaining about their elected officials, whom they return to office with every election. Californians get exactly what they voted for, good and hard.
Yep. Very frustrating for the millions of us who were born here and see how our state had been destroyed.
PSYCHOPATHS! MEGALOMANIACS!

I am with you Vicki. Android is less offensive/intrusive than i-phone. I liked the good old days when the battery could be removed.
BURN BACK BETTER! lol, lordly so true (makin' way fer the Olym-Picks).... Gallows humor but that's really a good'un!
Completely agree Amy !
I agree with Amy too. Garbage in = garbage out. The simplicity of the math equation boggles the mind.
Nobody needs this AI crap is an understatement. Rural living is as close as it gets to the good old days.
Walden Pond is sounding better and better. Chopping wood not so much, lol. But it's possible and peaceful.

When there's a disaster it's always inspiring how people come together. They put the politicians to shame.

Just as i remember. I lived in Woodland Hills too. Went to Taft High but my family stsrted traveling again so I graduated from an international school
by correspondence course.
The last time Cali built a reservoir was in 1980 that tells the tale.
Why do we need and who really cares about a Delta Smelt????
Indeed. But it was always the reason....
Karen,
Yet another triumph for DEI , the Mayor of Los Angeles is in Africa on holiday whilst LA burns, you couldn't make it up !
Not on holiday, but yep, not where she should be.
yes not only a DEI hire but a self identifying communist DEI hire.
Just like our Scomo

well i guess the dems horse will be que mala kamala harris or maybe Hilarity clinton in 2028 now that newscum has disqualified himself.
I wish we could be sure of no Newsom. People have such short memory! Not that I would want the other two.
How do these people keep getting elected? I'll tell you how. They keep stealing it. The 2024 election was no different than 2022 or 2020. They keep counting votes until they have what they need. That's how they keep getting elected.
Yes it's corrupt, however, sadly, I've no doubt the majority of Californians keep voting for this. Maybe they will learn one day, I don't know.
