Here is Gavin Newsom celebrating the removal of a damn in California, a state that is in perpetual drought.

Voters approved the construction of new reservoirs but they were never built.

I’m sure those billions are still in the bank and haven’t been spent on DEI bullshit and the climate scam, right?

Be a good start for rebuilding what the Dimwingers have destroyed.

 

[debbiedowner]

When Trump gets into office any financial aid to CA needs to have serious strings.
1. Those 4 dams need to be rebuilt
2. New construction needs to be fire-resistant
3. Would water storage tanks need to be built along ridge-lines"?
4. Would more tanker jets help?
5. CA's crazy insurance law, limiting pricing causing insurance companies to bail, needs to be revise

Insurance rates in most states are govern by what that particular state will allow when insurance companies submit rate increases. Submit a rate for increase for 50% the insurance company better have submitted proof they need that much of an increase or it will be turned down.

When all you have is a typing mistake, you really do have NOTHING - AGAIN!

Calling others fools, proof reading first highly advisable

...and if the rate increases are not approved, the company cancels all policies on that state because the risk is too high, like CA.

I wonder if California is still celebrating the damn removals, which Newsom oversaw about 4 of them.

How does he still have a job?

What a biased OP this one is.

First of all, you start with a video full of misinformation or at least failure to supply the whole truth, given that Newsome was not celebrating a Dam removal but celebrating a the restoration of natural rivers. This has nothing to do with the fires raging in california.

Here is an AI generated response to the question "are Dam removals in California a bad thing?"

While dam removals in California can be beneficial for certain ecosystems by restoring natural river flows, they can also be considered "bad" due to the short-term negative impacts like large-scale sediment release, potentially impacting water quality, disrupting local economies reliant on recreation around reservoirs, and causing temporary fish die-offs as the sediment moves downstream, especially if the removal process isn't carefully managed.

Key reasons why dam removals can be seen as negative:

• Sediment mobilization:
  When a dam is removed, the large amount of sediment accumulated behind it can be released downstream, causing temporary turbidity and impacting aquatic life.
  
  
• Impact on local economies:
  Removing a dam can negatively affect local businesses that rely on recreation around the reservoir, such as boating and fishing.
  
  
• Potential for fish kills:
  The sudden release of sediment can cause stress and die-offs among fish populations, especially if non-native species are present in large numbers.
  
  
• Disruption of water flow:
  The altered river flow after dam removal can impact downstream ecosystems, potentially affecting vegetation and aquatic life.
  
  
• Concerns about toxins:
  Depending on the dam's history, accumulated pollutants or heavy metals could be released into the river during removal.
  

However, it's important to note that:

• Long-term benefits:
  While short-term impacts can be negative, dam removals can ultimately improve river health by restoring natural flow patterns and improving fish migration, particularly for endangered species.
  
  
• Careful planning:
  Properly planned dam removal projects can mitigate negative impacts by implementing measures like sediment control and fish relocation

Here’s how California has increased forest management and wildfire response in the face of a hotter, drier climate​

Governor Newsom has dramatically ramped up state work to increase wildland and forest resilience, as well as adding unprecedented resources to support wildfire response. California officials treated more than 700,000 acres of land for wildfire resilience in 2023, and prescribed fires more than doubled between 2021 and 2023.

Other steps the state has taken to protect Californians from wildfires include:

• Investing in wildfire resilience. The Governor’s Budget reflects a total of $4 billion which maintains $2.5 billion in prior investments and commits another $1.5 billion over the next several years. In addition, the state is investing $200 million annually through 2028-29 for healthy forest and fire prevention programs, including prescribed fire and other fuel reduction projects.
• Tracking wildfire prevention. California recently unveiled newly updated, first-of-their-kind dashboards that will help Californians track the state’s wildfire prevention work.
• More boots on the ground than ever before. The administration is implementing shorter workweeks for state firefighters to prioritize firefighter wellbeing, while adding 2,000 additional state firefighters to CAL FIRE’s ranks over the next five years.
• Expanding the world’s largest aerial firefighting fleet. Governor Newsom has overseen the expansion of California’s aerial firefighting fleet, including the addition of more than 16 helicopters with several equipped for night operations, expanded five helitack bases, and assumed ownership of seven C-130 air tankers, making it the largest fleet of its kind globally. The state also adds to its world-leading air attack capacity through recent new funding to contract 24 additional non-state owned firefighting aircraft.
• Cutting-edge drone technology. CAL FIRE has doubled its use of drones for critical tasks like aerial ignition during prescribed burns, wildfire containment, and real-time assessments.
• Artificial intelligence and real-time data tools. The state is leveraging AI-powered tools to spot fires quicker and the Fire Integrated Real-Time Intelligence System (FIRIS) to provide real-time mapping of wildfires.
• Advanced mapping and satellite technology. California has partnered with the U.S. Department of Defense to use satellites for wildfire detection and invested in LiDAR technology to create detailed 3D maps of high-risk areas, helping firefighters better understand and navigate complex terrains.
• Greater capabilities for incident reporting. CAL FIRE has expanded its capabilities for incident reporting at fire.ca.gov, updating the incident map with near real time information about firefighting aircraft activity, 3-D maps with evacuation orders, local shelter information, road closures, and more.

You also included 2 videos of Republican representatives dissing Newsome but neither offered anything tangible in their criticizism, other than their biased opinions.

You are not looking for the truth but looking to debase a good Democratic governor.

Let's see if you can address and debate my post with data, statistics and facts and not with biased opinions.

How does he still have a job?

President Trump authority to assist with the Palisades conflagration must be aided by also havig the authority to remove Gavin Gruesome and Karen Bass from power.

 

[imawhosure]

when has las vegas had fires like this?....

Never, but they have plenty of water in a damn desert. So is Tucson, and Phoenix! Of course, none of these municipality's divert water away, they try and guide it in.

Let me tell you---------->doesn't matter how much the Left whines on this one, many, many, MANY more Democrats are going to throw the lot of their KALIFORNIA leaders under the bus, ASAP! Watch!

i saw an article the other day from some water conservation place saying Vegas is a model on conserving water.....in the summer time they have commercials on TV about just that...

...and if the rate increases are not approved, the company cancels all policies on that state because the risk is too high, like CA.

That's right just like Florida and every other state. Offices of Insurance Regulations per states are not privy to California. Every state has one.

 

[kyzr]

So how come only CA has so many uninsured homes?
1. There is a $3,000,000 maximum for State insurance
2. The premiums must have been too low for insurance companies, so they fled and canceled policies.

I'm not aware of so many cancellations in FL or SC.

I can tell you have no understanding of the insurance game and you were not talking about the fund the state of Ca has, you were talking about insurance companies.

Thought of more "strings":
1. Those 4 dams need to be rebuilt & new reservoirs
2. New building construction needs to be fire-resistant
3. Water storage tanks need to be built along ridge-lines"
4. Would more tanker (jets or prop planes) help?
5. CA's crazy insurance law, limiting pricing causing insurance companies to bail, needs to be revised
6. Use tank trucks to spray salt-water down the mountainsides to kill the brush & around homes. Better mudslides than fires.
7. Bulldoze the tops of ridges to make fire breaks where fire equipment can access
8. Gavin needs to cough up the $3b he got for new reservoirs or go to prison.

And that's not true either.

The Democratic Party has a supermajority in California and holds every statewide office.

You people are deliberately misinformed and stupid.

It's unreal what a pathetic hack you are.
