LOL...Who's obsessed with DEI?...Just hire based on merit. It's that simple.
No, YOU prove it!!
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...
haha you pulled this from Newsom's website! No bias there! Lol!
California Fire Facts | Governor Gavin Newsom
Get the facts about the Los Angeles fires.gavinnewsom.com
- 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
- FACT: California has over 15,000 firefighting and public safety officers on the ground battling these blazes and keeping impacted areas safe. There is no recruitment of the general public. https://x.com/PIOErikScott/status/1877876314293899430
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

- 1,059+ Fire Engines
- 143 water tenders (tanker trucks)
- 116 Dozers
- 52 Helicopters

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.
I mean, pointing out Trump's stupidity is our thing. But feel free to make fun of Dorito Mussolini...
Stupid people are certain they are right.Basically a 16-page thread about lies and nonsense culled from extreme MAGA bullshit twitter pages. Thanks to Mitch and Addy.
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.
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.
Is that why he increased the budget from 2 to 3.8B? (amongst other things)
Where's the president-elect?
Your "facts" refer to his own website.
So, prove them wrong.
The president elect is not in power yet.
