Completely unacceptable. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass FREEZES when asked why she cut $20 million in funding to fire fighters, or why she was vacationing in Africa instead of managing the disaster. This is the look of someone utterly unfit for the enormity of her position. Rick Caruso should run it back. If there are fair elections, he'd win.

We saw the 5 foot 1 female secret service agents scrambling during the attempted assassination on Trump.

Now we have Cali burning, partly because of the black female mayor who funnelled money into things like libraries while cutting the budget for the fire department (amidst "climate change" which sees unusually high dryness and increasing forest fires in LA), and a lesbian fire chief whose highest priority is getting more gays and women hired into the fire department instead of anyone capable and competent enough to fight fires.

A black female mayor was elected. By a majority of the people.
For the record.

Nobody should’ve have lost their house and it’s a horrible they did but hope these woke celebrities and rich people learn their lesson to vote for merit and not DEI.
So what you're saying is that there are no competent black people?

Her race or her sexual orientation have absolutely nothing to do with a wildfire.
The budget was cut 2% from 837M to 820M.
The LAFD already very likely had readiness plans for such fires given these fires have happened for a very long time.
There is no evidence to suggest that the 2% cut would have greatly reduced those capabilities.
This is yet another opportunity for the MAGA cult to string unrelated things together to push their divisive agenda.
You think $17 million couldn't have gone to improve infrastructure?
The "readiness plans" were just Democrat talking points as evident that they were not actually prepared.

It's not a point about sexual orientation...the point is they focused more on DEI than actually focusing on preventative measures. Again as evident by them still being at 0% containment. That clearly shows they were not prepared.

They spent $400 million on "greening " their port. Yet they couldn't invest in proper hydraulic infrastructure systems to pump water at different elevations????

You need to prove all that.
You need to prove that this 17M was exactly what was needed to prevent the wildfire.
You need to prove that there were no readiness plans with the LAFD.
You need to prove they didn't focus on preventative measures or readiness plans at all and were caught off guard.
There could be multiple engineering or logistics issues and fit for purpose issues with these fire infrastucture systems you are proposing. You need to prove that they are infact fit for purpose and that there was a deliberate negligence.
If not all of this just amounts to stringing unrelated things together to push an agenda.

So DEI should work like this.

Let’s tap the best to apply for our jobs, and make sure we pick from a diverse pool. Black, white, Asian, women, men, everyone.

In reality in California it works like this.

Make sure you pick only lgbtq, and not white. If you can stack multiple minority traits, even better. Do they meet minimum standards? Great, they’re hired.

In your personal life, where have you even seen people that look like the fire chief and the rest of the cronies they showed in Los Angeles. You can only find them by actively looking hard for them. I doubt they were the best suited for the job. Clearly they weren’t based on how it’s going.

Adam Carolla tells those affected by the LA wildfires that 'You asked for it' by voting Democrat: Adam Carolla: "Gavin Newsom, you know, got recalled essentially, and he still won. We had a choice between Rick Caruso. For mayor we ended up with Karen Bass. We sort of get what we deserve. And I do want to say to all the people in Malibu, very Blue Palisades, very blue, Santa monica, very blue. You guys like all this: You voted for these people. You're sitting around right now going, how come the fire hydrants don't work? Where's the mayor? Why is she out of the country? What's going on with the aqueduct? You voted for these people. This is who you voted for. You in Santa monica. You live in these places. You think it's more important to have a woman of color versus a qualified person? You think it's more important to have a lesbian running the fire department than a qualified person? Well, you asked for it. You got it. Now, your house is on fire." Democrats elected people who were so inept they reportedly did not want to drop seawater on the fire because they were worried about the saltwater harming the vegetation. As thousands of homes burn , Democrats: 'Think of the plants!'

if only they'd listened to Elon and made some mud pies
.
What a chump.

There is NO STOPPING or preventing a firestorm of chapparel being driven by 70 mph winds. Nothing could stop it. NOTHING can put out a forest fire. It can only run out of fuel. You can bulldoze fire breaks ahead of the fire and hope the fire doesn't jump it. But even 30 mph winds turbocharge the fire and spew white hot embers miles downwind. The Kelowna fire 2 years ago jumped Lake Okanagan ffs.

Cal Fire is the most experienced, well run and equipped wildfire agency in the world. And they happen to have to fight fires that have, and will occur naturally forever.

This insufferable Musk is not sucking up to Trump.. he is as much of a narcissist as Trump and wants to hog the spotlight. Mud pies?!? SMH...

Megyn Kelly rips into idiotic LA Mayor Karen Bass by declaring she is 'too stupid' to lead: Karen Bass: "All of this can be found at URL." Megyn Kelly: "She is too stupid to be the mayor of Los Angeles. She is too stupid to be in public office. You failed, madam. You failed. You were too dumb to realize that URL was a placeholder. And then to actually look to your team and say, What is the URL? You are a moron. And I am sorry for our friends in Los Angeles who don't deserve this. I realize they voted for this woman, but I'm going to assume they thought she had two nickels to rub together in between her ears. Live and learn. She's too dumb to be your leader." Karen Bass is so stupid she couldn’t pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel.

No it doesn't work like that.
If there are 100 jobs, they will want a good mix of people, so they may earmark a certain % of jobs for minorities.
They will then look for BIPOC or LGBTQ+ people.
But they will go through the same interview process that caucasians will.
Whoever qualifies will get the job.
What they don't do is drop the recruitment standard or cutoff.
Karen Bass is hardly a DEI hire.
She served in the California State Assembly for 6 years including as speaker and in the US house of reps for 11 years before becoming mayor.

🚨
NEW: VDH weighs in on the LA fires: “It's something like a DEI Green New Deal hydrogen bomb — the alarming symptoms of a society gone mad." An incisive, two-minute breakdown of the political and ideological issues that led to this disaster: “It was a total systems collapse from the idea of not spending money on irrigation, storage, water, fire prevention and forest management, a viable insurance industry, a DEI hierarchy, you put it all together and it's something like a DEI Green New Deal hydrogen bomb." "Gavin Newsom was fiddling, he's almost Nero Newsom. And this has been something that is just unimaginable." "The systems breakdown. And to finish, what we're seeing in California is a state with 40 million people. And yet the people who run it feel that it should return to a 19th century pastoral condition. They are de-civilizing the state and de-industrializing the state and de-farming the state. But they're not telling the 40 million people that their lifestyles will have to revert back to the 19th century, when you had no protection from fire." "You didn't have enough water in California. You didn't have enough power. You didn't pump oil. So we are deliberately making these decisions not to develop energy, not to develop a timber industry, not to protect the insurance industry, not to protect houses and property. And we're doing it in almost a purely nihilistic fashion." "And Karen Bass should resign. She came to the airport back from Africa. She had nothing to say. She was confronted at the airport. Why were you in Africa? Why did you cut the fire department? They cut the fire department by almost $18 million. They gave fire protective equipment to Ukraine's first responders. And she had nothing to say. She had nothing to say because she couldn't say anything." "I don't want to be too pessimistic or bleak tonight, but this is one of the most alarming symptoms of a society gone mad." "And if this continues, and if this were to spread to other states, we would become a third world country if we're not in parts already."
