A bi-partisan group has been organized to circulate a petition for the recall and removal of California Governor Gavin Newsom over his mishandling of fire preparation and response. Newsom's term is scheduled to end in 2027 but if the recall petition gets enough signatures and a majority of voters support recall, his term will be ended immediately.

Newsom is under criticism for a wide range of issues in mishandling of the fire danger. This includes cutting $150 million from the state fire prevention budget. Newsom promised to remove dead brush and other fuel for wildfires from 90,000 acres in the state but only did so on 12,000 acres.

Meanwhile, a petition from the liberal Change.org demanding the resignation of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass over mishandling of fire issues has attained over 100,000 signatures of city residents.

Wow, I did not know Little Bobbie's kneejerk support of Democrats and lefties extended to ones that were terminally stupid. He is in a cult.

The Los Angeles fire chief a few months ago told the mayor that they had only half the resources they needed to respond to a serious wildfire. Instead of bolstering those resources Mayor Karen Bass wrote a memo calling for a further $49 Million cut in the fire department budget on top of the $17.6 million she had already cut. Anyone who tries to defend that is plain bonkers. That would be Bonkers Bob.

The fire chief may be a DEI hire, but she still has more sense than the dumb-as-a-brick mayor.

It looks like the people of LA think the same way I do. Over 100,000 of them have signed the petition calling for the resignation of that incompetent mayor Karen Bass.

Competent leaders DO plan to be prepared for these fires. They have their resevoirs full, not empty in fire season. They maximize available water by utilizing dams, not blowing them up like the Democrats have done. They properly fund their fire departments, not leave them with half of the firefighters they need and over half of their fire trucks not available because they need repairs. They properly fund and carry out brush clearance, not do only 12,000 of the 90,000 acres Newsom promised. They pre-deploy fire trucks and firefighters to vulnerable areas when there is a weather period of high fire danger, not fail to do it because the city has cut their budget and they do not have the money for the overtime.

The owner of the Los Angeles Times has admitted he made a big mistake in endorsing the incompetent Karen Bass for mayor. but Bolshevik Bob, our woke troll, will never shy away from backing these awful incompetent politicians.

Events like this are such that few planned for it. Don’t be so hard on them. It can, and will happen in BC. We are one Cat 5 hurricane from looking just like LA.

When that happens, If you like, I’ll be happy to spit in your face so you can see how it feels when your trailer is knocked off its blocks.

Maybe then we can hold up help to see if you built in a flood plain or ignored climate change and endangered your community.
Maybe we count the women and black first responders so we can say minorities are not up to white men.

Cheers!

Like anyone in LA cares what you think.

The people of Los Angeles ARE suffering BECAUSE Newsom, Bass, and other Democrats decided to play politics instead of properly governing. Any federal recovery resources should not be pissed away by being put into their hands. Federal resources that go DIRECT to victims, of course, should not be held up for what local politicians did, only funds that those same politicians may screw up with again.

One clear example of how these corrupt Democrats are playing politics is that while the fires are still burning, they have a special legislative session to appropriate $50 million to fight Trump politically but not a dime for firefighting or fire victims. If there is any clear example of playing politics, that is it.
