Horrific....the CA inferno.

I can't find words....the scenes in L.A. are horrific. All the politicians and political pundits can do is scream at each other. This is a time of desperate action! Screw Jimmy Carter's funeral! Screw the stupid politics! Flood California with equipment, people and foam and fight these damn fires!

California's fire fighting infrastructure is a piss poor disaster. No one was prepared for this kind of inferno, it makes the firebombing of Tokyo in 1945 look like a camp fire! This is what happens when you allow a state government to regulate in the name of a radical cause...this is what you asked for and you got it.

Nothing's being done....certainly not in the numbers desperately needed to fight this disaster. Instead of water...people should have been equipped to put fire fighting foam on their houses but once again...when you regulate in the name of a radical cause....you cause death and destruction to rain down hell!

Forget prayers....they won't help those people.

I agree with you and things look terrible out there.  I can't even imagine how horrific things are. :(

Eucalyptus trees are an invasive species to California, introduced by the same man who released the invasive "wild boars" that spread to the entire American south.  The Eucalyptus trees were introduced from Australia in the 1850s and have only now started to become completely out of control.

Eucalyptus trees don't have normal bark, so they suck up about 18-20x more water (to sweat it into the air) than native tree species, which dries out the grasses and shrubs growing near them.  Eucalyptus trees also have a flammable oil in their bark, and their seeds activate in the heat of forest fires.  Despite being an invasive species, they are also illegal to cut down, as California has declared them "ornamental" or something like that.  They are beautiful trees, but obviously extremely dangerous.

Every year at this same timeframe, the heat differential from the deserts to the east of California causes the "Santa Anna Winds" to blow west over California and out to the Pacific Ocean.  The Santa Anna Winds have always been a thing, it's just that now they have flaming cinders in the winds due to the reproductive process of Eucalyptus trees being forest fires.  There is no rain in this timeframe in California, either.

Basically, a round-table discussion was had to decide whose homes would burn down.  Newscum always exploits these annual fires to raise money for his next campaign.  On his website, it appears that there is a "donation" link to help those affected.  However, if you check your url on the page you enter your payment information, you will notice that the url is for "ActBlue" which is the democratic party's fundraising organization.  On a tangent, the same is true for the website of BLM, when you go to enter your payment information, you will notice that your URL is "ActBlue."

Since ActBlue is a tax-exempt organization, you can look up their expenditures at the end of each year.  Here is the one for BLM 2019-2020.  You will notice that over 99% of the ~$3.5 billion raised by BLM went to the candidates in the DNC primary election for 2020, with over half of it going directly to Joe Biden's campaign for the 2020 election.

*(scroll to the bottom of the link to see where the 99.05% of expenditures went, all to the campaigns of the democrats for the DNC 2020 primary)

California has always been a tinder box. The foliage there can survive with little water because it produces plant oils that ensure the survival of roots. Of course the oils makes these plants practically napalm.
