Los Angeles is finished

The absolutely crazy part is they will vote for him again after they lost everything due to his rigid ideological policies.

I don't know, but maybe they need to hit bottom before they realize they need to stop voting for bad policy.

I agree that California voters should not be let off the hook for the fires. They put progs like Newsom in office.

 This commentary comes to us from fire expert John Steele.

"Fabrications linking rising CO2 to wildfires should be ignored. Governments must employ solutions that will truly protect people and their property from the unstoppable, natural conditions enabling devastating fires," says Steele, former director of San Francisco State University's Sierra Nevada Field Campus.

The region's Mediterranean climate features dry summers and a winter "rainy season" that averages only six days of precipitation a month. This year, an abundance of dry brush, grasses and fallen limbs combined with hurricane-force Santa Ana winds emanating from natural cycles of the Pacific Ocean to fuel and spread devastating conflagrations.

While winter rains temporarily make the natural fuels resistant to fire, relative humidity that can dip below 10% transforms vegetation to kindling within a few hours.

Among policy failures that may have contributed to the severity of the fires are the following:

Failure to manage the accumulation of brush and other fuel
Failure to provide adequate water supplies for firefighting
Reductions in firefighting budgets

If he seeks the nomination in 2028, I hope the GOP makes that image go viral.

That's why I feel ZERO sympathy for any prog piece of shit who supported and still supports the people who made this happen.

you had a total DEI hire like Karen Bass bad mouthing Ted cruz (Who has ZERO control over local municipalities)  for being on a planned trip in Mexico at a time Texas was weathering a disaster

but here - people refuse to call her to account for both her words against him which was basically tantamount to spitting in the sky AND the fact that she is the person who HAS control over her city's resources and IS directly responsible for the policies which left them under equipped to handle this situation AAAAAANNNNNNDDDDDDD abandoned her constituents during this time of crisis to go make herself look good in some foreign country

And these people want to talk to me about excel spreadsheet felonies? Maaaaan they can go fuck themselves with any left over studs which didn't fully disintegrate in that fire.

My heart goes out to every MAGA loving person over there. The rest? Can go fuck themselves. I don't give a shit what they lost

I scolded Gavin in 2018 what he must do to prevent his state from burning. He ignored me and look at the results.

I am getting there myself. If you put those wankers in positions of power, don't whine to me when they impose their agenda and it wrecks all your shit.

The people at the bottom in California must first stop listening to the people at the top.

And speaking of idiots at the top in the Golden State. Jimmy Kimmel, the eternally woke and predictably tearful late night TV host once again put his hatred for Donald Trump on display for a nationwide audience Monday night.

"Tonight, I don't want to get into all the vile and irresponsible and stupid things our alleged future president and his gaggle of scumbags chose to say during our darkest and most terrifying hour," Kimmel told a revved-up crowd. "The fact that they chose to attack our firefighters who currently aren't white enough to be out there risking their lives on our behalf ... it's disgusting, but it's not surprising."

Good way to spread the hate and racism Jimmy. Did he cry for North Carolina, Tennessee and Florida. The sad thing is he still thinks he can deflect the blame to Trump (who isn't even inaugurated) from the people in power in California who are responsible for years of squandered resources, and years of failed policies.

Kimmel is a supertard.

Cost of rebuilding skyrockets to more than $250 billion

As the devastation of California's wildfires rages on, the cost of rebuilding keeps going up as well, though few could have ever imagined a price tag like this.

AccuWeather reports that the cost of rebuilding is expected to be between $250 billion and $275 billion.

Part of the enormous cost estimate is accounting for the fact that the Palisades Fire, burning near Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Santa Monica, is torching some of the most expensive real estate in the country, AccuWeather explains.

"These fast-moving, wind-driven infernos have created one of the costliest wildfire disasters in modern U.S. history," AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter said. "Hurricane-force winds sent flames ripping through neighborhoods filled with multi-million-dollar homes. The devastation left behind is heartbreaking, and the economic toll is staggering."

The extent of the devastation remains fluid, however, as even more dangerous fire conditions are expected to hit Southern California on Wednesday.
