Behold, they shall be as stubble,
The fire shall burn them;
They shall not deliver themselves
From the power of the flame;
It shall not be a coal to be warmed by,
Nor a fire to sit before!– Isaiah 47:14 (NKJV)
The fires of judgment continue to rage in Southern California. Besides apocalyptic level destruction and death, the blaze is revealing the incompetence of leadership on the state and local level.
Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, you two are an absolute disgrace. You have failed your state , your city and every constituent affected by these wildfires.
You can both try to blame this devastation on climate change all you want, but even liberals’ eyes are now opening to the fecklessness of Democrat rule in California. Both of you are profiles in failure.
What’s been Newsom’s mission of late? Oh yeah, Trump-proofing California.
Hey governor, how about placing the same effort into fire-proofing burn areas? You know, like ,creating task forces to clear the brush and undergrowth. Additionally, you could have issued public service announcements highlighting of the importance of homeowners fire-proofing their properties.
Imagine if you did those things and came up with innovations for storing the millions of cubic feet of water from snowmelt and rain-runoff instead of letting it flow to the ocean? Instead you serve your globalist, environmentalist masters by diverting water from the people, farmers and cities; all this, supposedly, for saving some bait-fish known as the Delta Smelt .
Yeah, prior to California’s most devastating wildfire, I’m sure many of those very rich (and liberal) homeowners in Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Altadena, Hollywood and Calabasas , unquestioningly believed your BS about Trump being the biggest existential threat to California and America.
But I got news for you, governor. I’m willing to bet that after losing everything they’re going to look at you , your policies and every syllable you say in an entirely different light. We’re talking red-pilling.
Under your watch, California has worsened as a state. Homelessness is rampant, crime is skyrocketing, people and businesses (that is taxpayers ) are leaving the state in droves.
Actually, I stand corrected, Newsom. One business your policies have benefitted is U-haul which has had record profits thanks to people getting the hell out of California.
Which brings me to Mayor Bass , what on earth were you doing in Africa as your city burned? You should have been on the first jet back to California when you got word of the potential seriousness of these Santa Ana winds and the fire danger they posed.
When you finally returned after the initial devastation, it was deer in headlights as you then refused to answer a reporter’s questions regarding your competence?!
Mayor, your primary responsibility is to provide leadership, which means the buck stops with you. That’s your job!
How ironic those Pacific Palisades fire hydrants will become symbolic of yours and Newsom’s leadership: empty. But what else can we expect from leaders focused on DEI rather than taxpayers?
DEI breeds incompetence because when any of these ideologues are elected to leadership, it’s due to identity , not ability.
LA City Fire Chief Kristin Crowley’ made history being the first female and LGBTQ Fire Chief. But was her first leadership challenge ensuring the reservoirs were filled so fire hydrants can work? No it was increasing diversity in the LA City Fire Department by hiring more women.
Bass is the first black female ever elected mayor, yet she recently slashed the fire department’s budget by nearly $20 million, prioritizing the homeless. And of course, Pacific Palisades hydrants went dry under the watch of Janisse Quinones, the first Latina to lead the LA Department of Water and Power (LADWP).
As of this writing, the fires of judgment continue as tens of thousands of people have been evacuated, thousands of structures destroyed and at least 10 people dead. Winds are forecasted to continue off and on through the weekend.
Pray for California and pray God will use these fires to burn the scales from people’s eyes regarding the state’s dangerously inept Democrat leadership.
