No, YOU prove it!!

If you're suggesting the lesbians aren't competent to run anything, you better come out with some actual "proof" for your silly statement!!
Incompetence has no gender....I have my doubts on Gavin Newsome's sexual preference but he could be a straight male and he's white...he could be a republican but in the end, it's his incompetence...

  • FACT: The number of CalFIRE personnel has nearly doubled since 2019 (from 5,829 to 10,741)
  • FACT: CalFIRE’s budget has nearly doubled since 2019 ($2 Billion to $3.8 Billion)

  • FACT: The budget for managing the forest (AKA “raking the forest”) is now TEN TIMES larger than it was when Governor Newsom took office. It was a $200 million annual budget in 2018. The state has now invested $2 billion, in addition to the $200 million annually.

  • FACT: California dramatically ramped up state work to increase wildland and forest resilience, as well as adding unprecedented resources to support wildfire response. California officials treated more than 700,000 acres of land for wildfire resilience in 2023, and prescribed fires more than doubled between 2021 and 2023.

  • this is an outlandish connection to make. The policy is not about water availability in Southern California.

  • Broadly, there is no water shortage in Southern California right now, despite Trump’s claims that he would open some imaginary spigot.
    • Orange County Water District, which supplies groundwater to the north half of the county, has enough supply to carry its 2.5 million customers through the worst of any potential droughts for 3 to 5 years.

    • The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California also has an abundance, with a record 3.8 million acre-feet of water in storage. That’s enough water to supply 40 million people for a year.

  • FACT: Water reservoirs in Southern California are at record levels. There is no shortage of water in Southern California.
  • FACT: Wildland firefighters don’t use hydrants — they use water tenders. And that is what has been used to ensure continued water access. Three million gallons of water were stored in three large tanks for fire hydrants in the area before the Palisades fire, but the supply was exhausted because of the extraordinary nature of this hurricane-force firestorm.
  • FACT: The Governor has called for an independent investigation into the loss of water pressure to local fire hydrants and the reported unavailability of water supplies from the Santa Ynez Reservoir. While urban water systems are built for structure fires and fire suppression, not hurricane-force firestorms, it is important to understand what happened so we can be better prepared in the future.
  • FACT: There is no water shortage in Southern California right now, despite Trump’s claims that he would open some imaginary spigot.
  • Orange County Water District, which supplies groundwater to the north half of the county, has enough supply to carry its 2.5 million customers through the worst of any potential droughts for3 to 5 years.
  • The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California — which serves 19 million people mostly with imported water — also has an abundance, “with a record 3.8 million acre-feet of water in storage,” (1 million acres of land with water that is 3.8 feet deep) according to Interim General Manager Deven Upadhyay, who issued a statement last week. That’s enough water to supply 40 million people for a year.
  • FACT: Reservoirs are full and water is available.

LIE: The water reservoirs in Southern California have been dry for 15-20 years.
  • FACT: There is no water shortage in Southern California right now, despite Trump and JD Vance’s claims that he would open some imaginary spigot. All state reservoirs are full and water is available.

  • FACT: out-of-state fire trucks take part in. 15 minute safety & equipment inspection to ensure no issues with the vehicle. At the time of the original post, the Oregon firefighting teams were already in the Los Angeles area battling the blazes.

LIE: Firefighters are using women’s purses to fight fires.

  • fACT: The LAFD uses canvas bags to fight small trash fires because they are more efficient to put out the fires as opposed to a long hose.


LIE: LAFD was so ill-equipped that it was recruiting the general public to fight wildfires



LIE: The outbreak of one fire stemmed from a “satanic ritual” linked to a “creepy red-roof mansion that is straight out of a horror movie.”

  • FACT: Public Safety officials are actively investigating the fires for arson. No fire stemmed from a satanic ritual.

California is using every available resource to fight the unprecedented wildfires impacting Southern California.

  • 10,170 emergency personnel deployed
    • 3,780 CalFire
    • 2638 OES
    • 1445 Caltrans
    • 871 CDCR
    • 836 CHP
    • 855+ Guard (400 MP in LA County now)
  • 1,059+ Fire Engines
  • 143 water tenders (tanker trucks)
  • 116 Dozers
  • 52 Helicopters
  • 9 Air Tankers

Come on Rodder, I'm sure you're at home worried about "migrant caravans". Why do you think those people from the equatorial regions are so desparate to move north? is it because their climate is stable and easy to grow plenty of food in like it has been for millenia?

Also, like, have you guys forgot about the fort mac fires? or Vancouver being cut off due to flooding? Or the Toronto Floods? Or Polar Bears not being able to hunt?

You really have to be able to tank some cognitive dissonance to think this is an "us vs. them" issue and not an existential crisis.
They want to move north because their country's economic political and social climates aren't stable. The weather has nothing to do with it.

Kevin O’Leary wants to float an idea to Trump on CA aid: "I think every taxpayer in America, including those in California, would like to tie this aid to removing Newsom and Bass." "I know Trump likes new ideas. Here's one. Not a dime until those two are whacked from their jobs immediately." "They are so incompetent in all of the decisions they've made led to this, and they're still making mistakes." "They're horrific managers. Whack them."

Just like big pharma did with the vaccines. Funny how climate change mostly targets the U.S. and not other countries.
You sound like a proudly ignorant American who has never been further out of your town than the Piggly Wiggly over in Hooterville because they were out of your chewing tobacco at the local Sebum 'lebum.

I mean, pointing out Trump's stupidity is our thing. But feel free to make fun of Dorito Mussolini...
Yeah maybe if Newsom didn't spend $50 million to "Trump proof" California (whatever that means), and instead spent it on preventative measures LA wouldn't be burning uncontrollably right now.
And he actually waited for this catastrophe to put money aside for fighting fires in the future? Lol! Looks like someone is doing damage control and worried about not getting elected again.

But if your misplaced rage makes you happy then fill your boots I guess. Ignorance is bliss.

btw does anyone know where Kamala is? I mean she's the VP and California is her home state.

I'm thinking maybe she's travelling out of state and vising some record stores where she can how off buying records from black artists like she did during the election campaign?

Any other ideas?

Where's the president-elect?

He takes power in less than a week..... Oh that's right. He's hanging with Danielle Smith and Jordan Peterson at Mar-a-Lago planning how they can benefit from financially screwing your own country into the ground.

It does as well.

Aside from the martial law and massive cartel crime waves.
