Why doesn't greaseball have a SAT phone?  It has been known for days that the cell service is down due to the fires.

Wait until someone points out there was no cell service there...

Bass was one of three "Women of Color" picked for a possible Vice President to Joe Biden

The others being Kamala Harris and Stacey Abrams.


They know how to pick ‘em, especially with such a subjective criteria.

Lucky he didn’t pick Abrams, she would have probably offed him, or eaten him….or both.

I can't say anything that hasn't been said. But it is completely amazing. Sure, I've seen wildfires before, but not in such a heavily populated area. The Hawaii fire was in a residential area, but not as large. It's almost mind boggling.

What makes it so maddening is the bad policy and political agenda component.

Sure...I don't believe him..just ask the people of N Carolina...



Biden says federal government will pay for disaster response to the Los Angeles fires for 180 days

President Biden on Thursday said the federal government will fully cover the costs of the disaster response to the wildfires raging across Los Angeles County.

The federal government will cover the costs for 180 days, he said.

“That's going to pay for things like debris and hazard material removal, temporary shelters, first responders salaries, and all of the safety measures to protect life and property,” he said. ”I want to underscore, I told the governor and local officials: spare no expense. And we're doing literally everything we can at the federal level."

Biden also announced that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has authorized 500 wildfire ground-clearing personnel from the Defense Department to assist local crews.

Also rapidly burning to ashes:
The insurance industry in California.

The companies that don't go bankrupt will simply "pull out" of the state.

Coming soon to California:
"Single-payer" home insurance, administered and funded by the state.

Joe Rogan, Mel Gibson Slam Gavin Newsom’s Failure to Prepare L.A. for Wildfires: ‘You’re Out of Your F*cking Mind, Ruined This State’

Alana Mastrangelo 9 Jan 2025

Podcast powerhouse Joe Rogan and director-actor Mel Gibson slammed California Governor Gavin Newsom (D)’s failure to prepare Los Angeles for the catastrophic wildfires that have now been destroying regions of the city for three days straight.

“We were just talking about the wildfire situation and how crazy it is that they spent $24 billion last year on the homeless, and what did they spend on preventing these wildfires?” Rogan asked, to which Gibson replied, “Zero.”

“And in 2019 Newsom said, ‘I’m going to take care of the forest and maintain the forest’ — he didn’t do anything,” Gibson added.

Rogan chimed in, noting, “On top of that, they cut the water off.”

“I think all our tax dollars probably went to Gavin’s hair gel,” Gibson quipped, adding, “It’s sad. The place is just on fire.”

Rogan added that “the whole state is so poorly managed. It’s so frustrating and confusing.”

“And then [Newsom] gets on TV and pretends like everything’s great, [saying], ‘California is the best state, we have the most amazing economy,’ and I’m like, you’re out of your bleep mind, dude. You’ve ruined this state — personally ruined it,” Rogan said.

Excerpt:
California Governor Gavin Newsom just added another jaw-dropping moment to his political résumé. In a viral video captured by Sky News, Newsom was caught pretending to be on a phone call with President Joe Biden to dodge a desperate mom trying to confront him about her family’s struggles amid the raging fires.



Gavin Newsom's fake phone call stunt is just another example of his dishonesty and lack of empathy for the people of California. His priorities are clearly elsewhere, and it's time for him to go California deserves better leadership.

National Guard pours in resources, though air support remains grounded due to high winds

The California National Guard has maneuvered equipment and 600 service members to Los Angeles County to help gain control of wildfires that continue to ravage the area, though air support assets remain grounded due to bad winds.

On Thursday, California National Guard Spokesman Col. Brandon Hill said they have two C-130 Hercules transport aircraft permanently assigned to California, though they have not been used yet but remain on stand-by.

The C-130s are used to drop modular airborne fire fighting systems (MAFFS) directly onto the flames. The MAFFS look like a red powder substance when dropped from the C-130, and one unit is 3,000 gallons and weighs 38,000 pounds.

The California National Guard also has 10 helicopters that will be used to dump water, though they have not been activated yet due to heavy winds, according to Hill.

Of the 600 national guardsmen who have been activated, 200 are from hand crews and 400 are members of military police forces with the California National Guard.

Fox News' Liz Friden contributed to this report.

Kenneth Fire prompts mandatory evacuation order

A mandatory evacuation order was issued Thursday for residents in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Fire Department said the order was in response to the roughly 50-acre Kenneth Fire.

“LAFD is issuing a Mandatory Evacuation Order for Vanowen south to Burbank Blvd. County Lane Road east to E Valley Circle Blvd," an LAFD alert states. "This is an immediate evacuation order for all residents within this area.”

The LAFD is Run by Three Lesbians Named ‘Kirsten’
The LA Fire Department went woke. Now LA is on fire.

January 10, 2025 by Daniel Greenfield

The most important thing to know about Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley is that she is the first LGBTQ fire chief in the history of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

It’s also the only thing worth knowing about the woman in charge while Los Angeles burned.

Crowley’s status as the first LGBTQ fire chief appears at the top of her bio on the LAFD site. It’s what got her on the Kelly Clarkson show under the headline, “Meet LAFD’s First Female & LGBTQ+ Fire Chief” and made her one of the marshals of the Los Angeles Pride Parade (some of whose attendees no longer have homes after the wave of fires.)

But DEI wasn’t done with the LAFD just yet. Not until two other lesbian ‘Kirstens’ were also running the LAFD.

Kristina Kepner, the first lesbian Assistant Chief and a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School for Managing Diverse Organizations, was accused of a domestic violence incident involving her girlfriend. Kristine Larson, who has a degree in Sociology, headed ‘Equity on Fire’, an organization complaining that the LAFD was sexist and racist, was then rewarded with the title of the LAFD’s first lesbian Equity Bureau Chief with a $399,000 salary.

Diversity mandates had led to three lesbians named some version of ‘Kirsten’ running the LAFD.

Meanwhile, Jamie Brown became the LAFD’s first lesbian Training Commander. Her accomplishment was being the only one of the four lesbians running the LAFD who wasn’t named ‘Kirsten’.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna announced that authorities were implementing a curfew for the Eaton Fire and Palisades Fire areas.

The curfew would be in effect from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and could begin Thursday night.

‘Not Brain Surgery’: Outraged LA Resident Says Newsom, Bass Played ‘Russian Roulette’ By Not Preparing For Wildfires

A Los Angeles-area resident accused California’s “liberal political leadership” of playing “Russian roulette” with people’s lives Thursday, citing a failure to prepare for wildfires.

Several ongoing wildfires have rapidly spread across the Los Angeles area, Pasadena and other localities, destroying thousands of buildings and leaving at least five people dead. Attorney and California resident Brian Claypool told Fox News host Harris Faulkner he felt “heartbroken and outraged” after a press conference by local leaders.

“I have to tell you, after seeing that press conference, I am flat out heartbroken and outraged. We are sick and tired in L.A. County of having liberal political leadership play Russian roulette with all of our lives,” Claypool said. “Look at that. Look at these images. This was preventable, Harris, I’m not saying it could have been stopped, but I — I looked on the news three days ago. I have a teenage daughter. You know, I’m a single parent. I’ve got a 9-month old as well with a nanny holed up in a hotel. Three days ago, we see on the news there are winds expected of 80 to 100 miles an hour, Harris. I looked at my teenage daughter and I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ That’s hurricane force — hurricane force winds.”.........................

Biden lets slip real reason LA fire hydrants were dry when flames began as Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass cling to their jobs

Daily Mail
By STEPHEN M. LEPORE
9 January 2025

Joe Biden claimed that Los Angeles fire hydrants hadn't run dry because of a water shortage, but due to power being cut to water pumps because of the killer wildfires.

As of Thursday, seven people have died in one of the most destructive blazes in the county's history, over 10,000 structures are destroyed, roughly 400,000 customers statewide were without power and over 180,000 have been evacuated.

The systemic failures in the deep blue city have led many to wonder how things could've gotten this out of hand - and led many to call for the resignation of Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom.

Amid furore from critics saying that water was unavailable to fire crews, Biden explained that the problems were self-inflicted to avoid further fanning the flames. 

'What I know from talking to the governor, there are concerns out there that there's also been a water shortage,' he said in a press briefing Thursday.

'The fact is the utilities, understandably, shut off power because they are worried the lines that carried energy were going to be blown down and spark additional fires.

'When it did that, it cut off the ability to generate pumping the water, that's what caused the lack of water in these hydrants.'

In an attempt to rectify the situation, Biden said Cal Fire and other state officials are bringing in generators.

Hopefully in the aftermath of all these fires someone will finally see the sense of spending the extra money to build homes that will survive wildfires intact.
Really want one of the highest priced homes in the US to be even more out of reach of the middle class?

Why not prevent or at least mitigate the fires in the first place?

And it’s a nail in Mayor Bass’ coffin.
Anybody know of a person who was in Congress most of their career and became a competent Mayor later on?

Houston damn near had Sheila Jackson Lee as mayor a couple of years ago.  As Houston's mayor, Sheila would have made Bass look like a supercharged Rudy Giuliani

Kenneth Fire Grows in Woodland Hills as Los Angeles Burns

The Kenneth Fire in the area near Woodland Hills on the southwest side of the San Fernando Valley has reportedly grown since erupting.

According to local reports, the fire near the famous 101 Freeway has spread to over 800 acres and has since been burning toward the south closer to homes. Authorities in the area have called for mandatory evacuations. Per CBS Los Angeles:

    A mandatory evacuation order has been issued for Vanowen south to Burbank Boulevard and County Lane Road east to East Valley Circle Boulevard, the LAFD said. Several evacuation warnings have also been issued for areas that border the fire, according to Cal Fire.

    A water-dropping aircraft quickly responded to the blaze. Firefighters from Los Angeles and Ventura counties are actively engaged in containment efforts, Cal Fire said. It is burning in an area with challenging terrain and low vegetation. Flames are being driven by strong Santa Ana winds.

" You can tell what politicians really care about by how they spend your tax dollars. @MayorOfLA Karen Bass earmarked hundreds of thousands of dollars for social justice art workers— the Gay Men’s chorus of Los Angeles — and the Midnight Stroll Transgender Cafe. She also slashed $17 million from the city fire department’s budget. The department even warned Bass last year that the cuts would limit wildfire fighting capabilities. ...."

"@GavinNewsom  won’t accept any blame for what’s happening to California right now and the @MayorOfLA  has no respect for the people she represents.  People got trapped, because all these politicians know how to do is run for office. Once they get in, they don’t know anything... We don’t have to live like this."

Joe Biden claimed that Los Angeles fire hydrants hadn't run dry because of a water shortage, but due to power being cut to water pumps because of the killer wildfires.

.  .  .

'The fact is the utilities, understandably, shut off power because they are worried the lines that carried energy were going to be blown down and spark additional fires.

'When it did that, it cut off the ability to generate pumping the water, that's what caused the lack of water in these hydrants.'

Bullshit.  Water pressure is achieved by placing a water tank on top of a hill or tower.  Pumps are needed to refill the tank.  But if the tank has water in it, then you have pressure.  Biden is a lying POS.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
