California Inferno Was ‘Preventable.’ Blame Malfeasance of Newsom, Bass for Catastrophe.
I’m here in California. I’ve been a lifelong resident of the state, fifth generation to live in the same house. I had a house in the Sierra, and it would almost burn down three years ago during the Aspen Fire, and I’m speaking on the evening when you’ve all heard about the disastrous fire in Los Angeles.
As I’m speaking on a Wednesday night, there have been 15,000 acres, 1,000 structures destroyed. Nobody knows how many people are killed or missing. And how do we characterize this? Everybody’s talking about the Santa Ana winds, climate change—I mean everybody, the people in power.
But it was preventable. And once it started, this fire, it could have been assuaged. You could have had it lessened, that the severity didn’t have to be as catastrophic. So, I would characterize it as a DEI–Green New Deal hydrogen bomb. It’s something out of “Dante’s Inferno.”
And what I mean by that is, it’s a systems breakdown, a civilizational collapse. When you look at the people in charge, [California Gov.] Gavin Newsom flew in, to sort of do these performance-art stunts, but he has systematically ensured that water out of the Sacramento River and the watershed of Northern California would go out to the sea, rather than into the aqueduct, so Los Angeles didn’t have sufficient amounts of water.
He bragged not very long ago that he blew up four dams on the Klamath River. They provided 80,000 homes with clean hydroelectric power. They offered recreation, flood control, irrigation. He blew them up.
California’s fire management, whether we look at the Paradise Fire or the Aspen Fire near where I’m speaking, it destroyed 60 million trees. We have no timber industry in California. [Newsom’s] dismantled it.
We don’t clean the forest. We don’t let loggers come in and have a viable livelihood by harvesting trees. It’s sort of considered natural to let these things burn or to at least create the conditions in which they will inevitably be burned.
It’s almost as if we don’t like humans. We worry about grubs and worms and birds and the ecosystem.
Chaos from Incompetence – Entire LA County of 9.6 million Residents Mistakenly Told to Evacuate
January 10, 2025 | Sundance | 82 Comments
As if the people in/around the Los Angeles area didn’t have enough to worry about. Apparently, the entire population of 9.6 million residents was mistakenly told to evacuate their homes around 4pm local time, according to Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn.
The emergency alert was supposed to be for a specific region ‘impacted by the Kenneth Fire in Woodland Hills.‘ However, someone sent the alert to every resident in the greater Los Angeles region, creating massive anxiety and exacerbating an already tense situation.
Homeless man with ‘flamethrower’ busted in connection to LA’s Kenneth Fire after residents detain him
A homeless man has been busted on suspicion of starting one of the wildfires ravaging Los Angeles — after brave locals tackled him as he wandered around using what looked like a “flamethrower.”
The unidentified suspect was seen riding around Woodland Hills on a bicycle on Thursday afternoon setting fire to several old Christmas trees and garbage cans at the same time as the Kenneth Fire started, locals said.
Renata Grinshpun told KTLA she was in her backyard when she heard a car screech to a stop and a man yelling, “Neighbors, he’s trying to start a fire! Call 911!’”
Watch Joe Rogan Back in July Describing How a Firefighter Told Him a Fire Would Eventually Burn Through Los Angeles (VIDEO)
There is a clip of Joe Rogan that is being widely circulated on social media right now, in which Rogan describes a conversation he had with a firefighter who warned him about the type of fires currently consuming greater Los Angeles.
In the clip, which is from an episode back in July of 2024, Rogan recounts the conversation and describes – almost exactly – the types of conditions which would give rise to such a fire, including the wind and the inability to put it out.
It’s eerie how spot on this prediction was.
I guess every story needs a billionaire villain

Jennifer Garner chokes up while revealing she ‘lost a friend’ in the LA fires: ‘She didn’t get out in time’
Jennifer Garner has lost a friend to the LA fires.
The actress, 52, revealed the devastating news Friday during an interview on MSNBC.
Appearing alongside World Central Kitchen Chef José Andrés, Garner told anchor Katy Tur about the death of her friend who she knew through church.
“I did lose a friend, and for our church, it’s really tender so I don’t feel like we should talk about it yet,” the star told Tur, choking up. “I did lose a friend. She didn’t get out in time.”
The official death toll from the Eaton and Palisades fires that tore through Los Angeles over the past few days rose to 11 on Friday.
“My heart bleeds for my friends,” Garner added. “I mean, I can think of 100 families, and there are 5,000 homes lost. I can — without even [thinking] — I could just write out a list of 100 friends who lost their homes.”
“I feel almost guilty walking through my house.”
She continued, “You know, what can I do? How can I help? What can I offer? What do I have to offer with these hands and these walls and the safety that I have?”
Spencer Pratt plans to SUE State of California after house burns down as LA mayor Karen Bass faces fierce criticism
Spencer Pratt reveals plans to sue the State of California after his home was tragically burnt down in the Pacific Palisades wildfires.
On Friday, the former reality star, who is married to Heidi Montag, announced that he intends on filing a lawsuit against California due to their alleged negligence that resulted in the loss of his residence.
While speaking to blogger, Perez Hilton, the father-of-two recalled desperately trying to get help from Los Angeles Fire Department as he watched his property go up in flames.
'They never came. The gate was still locked,' he claimed. 'They never came. I watched from my security cameras until our house burned down. There were no fire trucks.'
As his home burned down, Pratt insisted that he called 911 and informed them that if they sent 'one fire truck' to his street that they 'could stop [the fire from] coming down the whole freaking area.'
In response to his suggestion to bring in a truck, he said he was told that the fire department didn't 'have the assets.'
A tragedy all around, but I am having a difficult time having any compassion for these hollywierd liberals ... you deserve the Gov you vote for
Garner loosing friend is bad
How is Spencer Pratt still a thing. He's a one and done actor along with his wife, "The Hill."
If Californians Don’t Fire Newsom, He’ll Burn What’s Left Of Their Home To The Ground
For much of my life in Los Angeles, I was blissfully unaware of politics. People could afford to be. There is a reason there are so many homeless people here. It’s a lot easier to be “unhoused” when it’s 75 degrees and sunny almost every day of the year. Life never seemed hard here in La La Land. Admittedly, I’ve complained about the soft people that kind of lifestyle produces, particularly men. But California living, even at its worst, used to be pretty darn sweet. You didn’t need to be a millionaire to live in SoCal. It was nice if you were, but it wasn’t a prerequisite when I moved here in 1998. Many people, like me, sacrificed a lot for the outdoor, healthy, hippy lifestyle.
Then Covid hit. All of a sudden, I became un-blissfully aware that the bad policies of an egomaniacal tyrant have serious, devastating consequences. California had become unsustainable both financially and politically.
Blame Gov. Newsom
Officials here had some help during Covid. They had the backing of Dr. Anthony Fauci and many other “experts” who, for their own personal gain, insisted that the virus was something it wasn’t. However, the blame for the tragedy currently destroying the lives of thousands of people lies at the feet of one person only — Gov. Gavin Newsom.
This man has single-handedly destroyed the state with his Green New Deal policies and emphasis on “environmental, social, and governance” (ESG), diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and any other acronym initiative you can think of. He has wasted billions of taxpayer dollars on useless, ineffective projects — from a train that no one wants to alphabet soup education — instead of doing what he should have to ensure this fire didn’t inflict the damage it did.
Lacking Preparation
For those unfamiliar with the territory, the mountains that surround the greater Los Angeles area — primarily the Santa Monica and San Gabriel ranges — make it extremely vulnerable to wildfires. Particularly during times when what’s known as the Santa Ana winds — dry, rapid, and often warm air that whips in from Nevada and Utah to Southern California at up to 100 mph — start to blow. That, combined with low rainfall and extremely dry conditions, makes it a ripe target for rapidly spreading fires.What happened a week into 2025 is not unique. What is unique is the leadership of the state. Newsom has failed to manage the conditions properly. Brush should have been consistently cleared. Controlled burns should have been initiated to clear floor areas. For crying out loud, a sufficient supply of water should have been available in fire hydrants! Everyone who lives here knows this. Many constituents voted for this. In 2014, Californians approved the Proposition 1 Water Storage Investment Program (WSIP), which allocated $2.7 billion for water storage projects. Those projects have largely gone unrealized, and the abundance of rain the state received over the past two years that could have been stored with larger reserves was wasted.
Yet Newsom, along with the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, failed to listen. Rather, L.A.’s fire chief was focused on inclusivity and making the fire department “more diverse.”
Fires care nothing for sexual preferences or diversity. They destroy everything in their path — the homes of the wealthy and the homes of the poor. Small businesses and bougie boutiques. Nothing is sacred to fire. Only those well-qualified and equipped to fight fire should be doing so.
Gavin Newsom Asks Biden To ‘Deal With’ People Allegedly Spreading ‘Misinformation’ About His Wildfire Response
[ I NO LONGER Control the Narrative - the press is not covering up my ineptitude - people can post to twitter their experiences ]Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom requested Friday that President Joe Biden “deal with” people who are allegedly spreading “misinformation” about his response to the wildfires raging across Los Angeles.
Newsom alleged that Californians have gathered so-called “misinformation” about the wildfires and that himself and Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have had atypical conversations with the public regarding the so-called false information. He asked the president during a virtual meeting to confront the alleged misinformation and “lies” spewed by those who want to “divide” the U.S.
“I ask you, we’ve got to deal with this misinformation,” Newsom said. “The hurricane force, winds filled with mis-and-disinformation lies. People want to divide this country and we’re gonna have to address that as well. And it breaks my heart as people are suffering and struggling, that we’re up against those hurricane forces as well. And that’s just a point of personal privilege that I share that with you because it [affects] real people who are out there, people I meet every single day. People [Bass] has been meeting with, and they’re having conversations that are not the typical conversations you’d have at this time and you wonder where this stuff comes from.”
Newsom and his administration have come under fire for his response, particularly relating to the lack of water available in the fire hydrants in the midst of the fires. An analysis from OpenTheBooks, a government transparency organization, found that Los Angeles lacked the budget to sufficiently fund fire hydrants across the area despite Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) officials receiving substantial taxpayer-funded salaries.
Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Chief Kristin Crowley staunchly supported diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and an internal “racial equity plan,” which states that the agency is a stronger organization for focusing on the physical characteristics of its personnel.
