California is burning for host of reasons, chief among them there are 60MPH Santa Ana winds, 2 years’ growth of brush and deadwood from a couple of record wet years, and the humidity is 10%, in canyons that have gone up in flames every couple of years since Noah was in diapers. And most of the areas that should be cleared or control-burned directly adjacent to the worst fires are federal land, over which no one in Calilfornia has any control.
Of the 57 direct causes, DEI amounts to 0.1%. Bad policy to maybe 10%. The rest is anything but. And most of the “bad policy” involves letting entitled idiots build homes on that land in the first place, knowing they’re going to burn rather regularly.
But that’s the difference between living here for decades and knowing what I’m talking about firsthand, versus bloviating from afar with an axe to grind. Just because you have a hammer, it doesn’t make everything else a nail. DEI is incredibly stupid. So is far too much of the governmental stupidity in Califrutopia. Neither one, nor both combined, however, are most of the reason for everything evil coming to pass. But the primary reasons aren’t hard to suss out, once people stop knee-jerking their pet causes.

Blame elected and appointed officials all you want, and they deserve it. But, how exactly is it that these total incompetents are in those positions to begin with?
Hmmmm…. Maybe this dynamic might have something to do with it. It is not unique to this particular incompetent in this particular situation either.
“The March 16 Angus Reid Institute numbers show quite clearly that men favour Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, while women favour Trudeau. Among voters aged 35 to 54, a blowout 47 per cent of the men preferred Poilievre (against 28 per cent for Trudeau). While among women, those numbers flipped to 39 for Trudeau and 27 for Poilievre.”

“I do not care how many people lose homes in Los Angeles. Especially in Pacific Palisades, or Malibu, or Santa Monica. Because I’ve lived in LA, I’ve been to those areas, and I know without a single doubt that damn near every single person living there, with a few exceptions here and there, voted for Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass. They voted for the people who defunded the fire department. They voted for the people who fired the firefighters who refused to get the jab. They voted for the governor and his cronies who refused to fill the reservoirs. They voted for DEI instead of competence, they voted for Marxism instead of something that actually works, they voted for all of this. They voted for the regulations that prevented the fire base from being cut back. They voted for the empty fire hydrants.”

Make of it what you will. My take away is that although there most definitely are natural conditions that guarantee wildfires in LA — even uncontrollable conflagrations in areas insurance companies would be foolish to insure — there were also very controllable conditions, including firefighting infrastructure, which were poorly overseen by elected officials and their hired associates.
“A clip of podcast host Joe Rogan warning last summer of an imminent wildfire devastating Los Angeles has resurfaced now that one is burning thousands of acres across L.A. County.
During a July podcast episode with comic Sam Morril, Rogan mentioned how an L.A. firefighter once told him that one day – under the right conditions – a wildfire would decimate the area.
“He goes, ‘One day, it’s just going to be the right wind, and fire’s going to start in the right place, and it’s going to burn through L.A. all the way to the ocean, and there’s not a f—ing thing we can do about it,’” the host said, while also wearing a t-shirt with a “Los Angeles City Fire Department” logo on it…
As Rogan noted in his July video, his fire department source stressed that a city-destroying inferno happening depends on the wind. He noted that residents so far had been “lucky.”
“He goes, ‘Yeah, we just get lucky.’ He goes, ‘We get lucky with the wind… But if the wind hits the wrong way, it’s just going to burn straight through L.A,’” he said.
Watch the video below:
A firefighter spoke to Joe Rogan and predicted the LA fires to the inth detail back in July of 2024.
This has been a well-known vulnerability for some time, and California politicians did nothing.

It is near to impossible to believe that Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass were not aware of this same information. They ignored the very real risk to concentrate on progressive pet policies. It’s criminal.”
@Painful Truth – These people (White guilt-ridden rich Liberals) vote for the incompetent, radical democRATz so they can use it as a fell-good shield to hold up in front of them to ward off being clubbed by radical minorities simply for being rich Liberals. Look where it’s gotten them!
Gutfeld put it best: “You Can’t Fight Fire with Platitudes, Pronouns and Politics”
Everyone already understood the wind/fire combination was bad. That’s why there are red flag warnings. Look at the steps Bel Air took after a fire wiped them out in the 60’s. They installed a large water tank at a high point, bought equipment and trained civilians how to respond along with the local fire departments.

Guilt, as expressed by these subhuman pieces of shit, to be legitimate and sincere absolutely and unequivocally demands acceptance of responsibility for injury THEIR OWN ACTIONS have caused. Trust me, any accountability they “accept” is illusory. Progressives lack any capacity whatsoever to have even a modicum of consideration for anyone other than as a prop used to satisfy their own egos. They are the consummate examples of individuals ruled by diabolical narcissism. There isn’t a fucking one among them who are not putting on an act, which in and of itself is reason to despise and shun the rotten sonsabitches. But when you consider their scripted methodology that projects what they themselves are guilty of onto others who not only are not responsible , they have pointed out what the finger pointer’s actions will lead to and have cautioned against such behavior.
This is what is known as false witness and it pleases the one they look up to and wish to impress. Who they are and what they are attempting is transparent and obvious and anyone who buys their act is naïve in the extreme. They pull this shit constantly and everlastingly and they applaud and promote each other by giving them full access to a media that apes journalism and news casting, but is nothing but a propaganda mill.
To absolutely and without exception refuse to concede anything to any of them and parse and carefully consider each and every word that comes from the dirty filthy explosive motherfuckers filthy lying deceitful mouths and juxtapose them against what their actions have invariably ultimately produced it becomes apparent what the score is real quick.
The whole “white guilt” charade is just as valid and legitimate as any of the rest of the bullshit they have woven out of whole cloth to use to manipulate opinion in their favor. It is so transparently empty of any legitimacy that it is impossible to even consider any of it in any other light than exactly what it is. It is the exact opposite of what they would have you believe and to not call them out on it and to subordinate what their actions have caused to their claims of feeling any remorse is not only not logical, it makes you complicit by allowing this shit to go unchallenged.
Satan is a liar, a murder and a thief. His followers, any and all who subscribe to the prog/Marxist/Satanist worldview and political philosophy look up to and wish to emulate his ways. Don’t fall into their trap and accept their twisted and tortured exploitative, self serving claims at face value.
