There’s an old saying “As California goes…so goes the rest of the nation.” If that’s true, let’s hope that Californians’ realization of the failures of DEI and the Green New Deal as the cause of these devastating wildfires will spread to the rest of America’s blue states.
You paying attention New Yorkers, Illinoisans, New Jerseyites, , Minnesotans, Washingtonians, Oregonians, and Marylanders? California is the epicenter and laboratory for liberalism and these wildfires have revealed the fecklessness of these policies for all to see.
You know the players: Gavin Newsom the smarmy, greasy-haired governor prioritizing a fish over people by diverting million of cubic feet of water from farmers and cities;
Karen Bass, the awol Los Angeles Mayor out of the country at the start of the fires ,later revealed to have slashed the fire department’s budget;
Kristin Crowley, the first ever female and lesbian L.A. City Fire Chief on record stating her goal for the department is promoting diversity (which really means less white men) and a Janisse Quinones, Department of Water and Power head, making a $750 thousand a year salary who couldn’t even do her basic job of keep the reservoirs filled with water.
A colossal storm of arrogance and incompetence. Watching these officials, has there ever been a more uninspiring bunch? These profiles in failure have even eclipsed even the Joe Biden Administration in their ineptitude.
This is what you get with true believers of cultural Marxism, who prioritize power over serving the people: major disaster.
At least 24 deaths, more than 10 thousand homes and structures damaged or destroyed and nearly 40 thousand acres burned in the Palisades, Eaton, Kenneth and Hurst fires. What’s tragic is this death and damage could have been lessened.
It’s because of environmentalist policies that California has not engaged in wildfire mitigation in decades. They didn’t want to disturb the delicate balance of nature by clearing brush, dead vegetation and undergrowth. This, despite having wildfires every year.
Utter madness!
In fact, Newsom cut $100 million from fire prevention in the 2o24-2025 budget leading up to these fires. However, California spent $24 billion, yes billion , on homelessness in five years.
Mayor Bass cut the Fire Department’s budget by nearly $18 million this year . And get this, she originally wanted to cut the budget by $23 million! In a land of wildfires, public safety is the last thing on minds of these “leaders.” Now, the fires are illuminating California’s anti-human policies, where a fish and plants are more important than keeping taxpayers safe.
By the way, check out this latest video in which an inappropriately smiling Bass attempts to comfort “Angelinos” only to come off as weirdly smug .
What’s a shame is how entrenched the liberal mindset has become in California’s major cities. When you get right down to it, a majority of voters willingly elected this mayor and governor.
Keep in mind, the problem does not lie solely only these two heads of state and city, respectively. California’s State Legislature and the Los Angeles City Council share the same values as Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass.
Even if these two were to both resign, or get recalled by the voters, they’re only the faces of the endemic failure of California liberal politics. This is what the people need to realize and keep in mind from now on with casting their vote in local elections.
Hope you’re paying attention blue state Dems. The policies of your radical Democrat leaders are also setting you up for disaster. Remember, as California goes… so goes the rest of the nation.

Dex, as I see the push back from the left regarding the criticisms of the common-sense conservatives, they are saying “let’s just all come together and come up with a solution”. It is remarkable that they didn’t see the solutions years ago. Build some reservoirs. Stop sending millions of gallons of water into the ocean to help a small worthless fish. Make sure you have working fire hydrants. Keep the homeless from out of the woods around your cities and starting fires. Make sure your fire departments are funded and well equipped. Basically…… do your stinking jobs demonrats! California is doomed to more avoidable fire storms unless the citizens push back on these socialist agendas, DEI, and down-right corrupt politicians and demand meaningful actions that don’t put some salamander or green legged frog in front of the people that they are supposed to protect.
My heart goes out to all those who have lost so much in these fires . I’ve been wondering is it possible for California to change? Maybe this is the gateway to change.
