The events happening in California are ongoing and this is a developing story. We will attempt to address things we know as well as those things we cannot prove but suspect to be true.
As of this writing, we know there are 6 separate fires ongoing in Southern California, 7 people have died, property losses could be in the billions, some of those properties are uninsured due to insurance companies dropping them in 2024, city water pressure has dropped so low in some areas firetrucks cannot draw water from them, there is a lack of firefighter manpower to fight the fires, and according the California Fire Departments this land has been burned as follows:
- Palisades: At least 6,970 hectares (17,234 acres)
- Eaton: At least 4,290 hectares (10,600 acres)
- Hurst: At least 346 hectares (855 acres)
- Lidia: At least 140 hectares (348 acres)
- Sunset: At least 17 hectares (43 acres)
President Donald Trump warned the politicians and residents of California years ago that he saw problems on the horizon for California.
“Trump Blames California Wildfires on Forest Management, Not Climate Change’ – Bloomberg
President Trump is seldom wrong. He operates from a knowledge base provided to him by experts. Trump has an amazing ability to amass information in his head and utilize it at the right time later. These same experts were utilized by the insurance industry in 2024 as many properties of California were dropped by insurance companies due to what they saw as this impending disaster.
President Trump is now, rightfully, calling for Governor Gavin Newsom to resign.
Conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk also made an epic post to social media:
“Meet the people in charge of LA’s fire response.
All of them lesbians named Kristin.
Kristina Crowley – First LGBTQ Fire Chief LAFD.
Salary: $439,722
Kristina Kepner – First Lesbian Assistant Chief LAFD.
Salary: $264,468
Kristine Larson – First black lesbian Equity Bureau Chief LAFD.
Salary: $399,000”
Almost 1,000 firefighters were terminated for refusing the Fauci clot shot. Some 600 of them are suing LA County alleging it violated their autonomous privacy rights.
Then we had Senator Bernie Sanders (D) making an idiotic statement about climate change related to the California fires and instantly regret it as he got roasted on social media. But, in defense of this 84 year old socialist grandpa, he was partly right:
Man-made climate change is real, particularly when you catch an unvetted Biden-Harris open border “newcomer” starting fires around the area with a propane tank and blow torch!
“Citizens arrest Kenneth Fire arson suspect” – KTLA 5
Another post roasted California Governor Gavin Newsome related to climate change. “Congratulations Gov. Newsom. Your forest fires have now produced more CO2 in a few days than all of the automobiles of America over decades!”
CONCLUSION:
When one thinks of California Governor Gavin Newsom one now automatically thinks of “epic failure” or “calamity of errors”. He removed dams to restore fish when there were other smarter ways to accomplish his end goal such as transporting the fish by tanker trucks.

And for all of those thinking, “Governor Newsom being an idiot doesn’t affect me.” Last year both my homeowner’s and auto insurance went up terribly even though I had made no claims. I called my agent to both complain and ask what was going on. She told me, “Because of the California fires and Florida hurricanes, insurance companies like ours are losing their shirts in claims paid out.”
I am chewing my fingernails thinking of my next bills to come in June.

There are rumors that Governor Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass may have finally succeeded in doing something President Trump and his MAGA followers could never do, flip California red.
In 2014 California voters passed a $7.6B bond referendum to build better water storage reserves. Newsom did nothing. President Trump and many other experts warned Newsom about the dangers of not capturing water and letting forests dry out without removing dead underbrush. Newsom did nothing.
Bottom line, this calamity of the most costly wildfire in American history was predictable and preventable. Gavin Newsom did nothing.
This gets personal to me. My father was a full-time firefighter and EMT/Paramedic. Were he alive today, he would be livid. Back in his day women were not allowed to be firefighters because they could not carry a person out of a burning structure to save them. They could also not lift their end of a gurney of a 300 pound person to place them in an ambulance.
The scariest part of this woke nonsense is when she admits she’s not strong enough to carry a man out of a fire, but it’s really the man’s fault for being in that situation to begin with. pic.twitter.com/Kv9IZrCbsV

This black lesbian woman featured in this video is all the proof you need that this DEI woke nonsense is going to get people killed. This video serves as an admission of failure.
One time, when I was only 7, my father and I were first on the scene of a really bad auto accident involving 2 young teen girls. They had hit a bridge and were knocked out and bleeding out. Two expressions I remember my father using, before he ordered me to run to the nearest farm house to summon an ambulance were, “Stay with me!” as well as “We got you.” I guess he was trained to use these talking points in the event the girls could hear him.
Dad drug them out of their car seats and onto the pavement in the event the car caught on fire and exploded. He used his own coat and shirt as pillows and bandages to stop the bleeding from their heads. My Dad was and is a hero and I am so grateful God let me see him in action that day!
A month later my father got permission from the parents of the girls for us to visit them and take them some flowers. I didn’t realize it at the time but he did this more for me than them. I was pretty traumatized by what I saw that day. Dad wanted me to see everything turned out alright in the end. I will never forget how grateful the parents and daughters were. Many tears of joy were shed that day. I remember one father saying to his recovering daughter, “Of all the right people to come along and show up first, you got a fireman!” He gave my Dad a hug with a “Thank you.”
Now I lovingly think after my father and ponder, what would Kristin Larson be saying? “Sucks to be you,” or “Looks like you were at the wrong place at the wrong time.”
This woman is a disgrace to the profession!
