Is Newsome and the democrats responsible for the wild fires in California?

No argument from me, irresponsible politicians fester irresponsible policies.
Tonight on the news I listened to an official--I didn't get his name, sorry--who said many insurers have cancelled policies and no longer write insurance for areas of California because of Newsom capping premiums they are allowed to charge and because nothing has been done to reduce the high risk factors in areas like the Palisades. State Farm, for instance, several months ago cancelled thousands of policies for policy holders in that area and announced they would be writing no new policies in that area.

As for the water supply, I have heard so many conflicting factors for that I don't pretend to know what the whole story is there. But it's a fact that firemen cannot fight large fires without water.

It does seem that Gavin Newsom is a good example of the Peter Principle in that smart management of his state is over his head and he has risen to the point of incompetence re what should be done.

I'll go through this really slow.
1. There was a sufficient water supply to fight the fire.
2. The electric company shut down power plants.
3. Without power, water pumps couldn't supply water.
4. Without water to fight the fire, the fire got much worse.
5. Emergency generators were brought in to resupply power to run the pumps.

Yep, State Farm who is supposed to be the largest insurer in California, has not been writing new policies for at least the last couple of years. I have two properties and just received a cancellation notice from them on one of the properties. Fun times in California.
 

Trump has a history of chastising California for their poor management of wildfires, most notably when he critiqued them for not maintaining their forests to clear debris from catching fire in 2019 and for not diverting more water from the north to the south, all to try and protect a very small fish called the "smelt".

This fish is why the fire hydrants in burning California have no water.

Meanwhile, the mayor Karen Bass of the apocalyptic region decided to go to Gahna to celebrate the inauguration of their new President. Why a mayor of LA is doing this is unclear. Her departure coincided with the National Weather Service escalating warnings about the coming windstorm. But even when the mayor got news of the wildfires, she chose not to come home sooner.


But the mayor is also being questioned regarding depleting the fire department.

Los Angeles' budget is in the spotlight as multiple wildfires rage around the city amid revelations that Mayor Karen Bass slashed the fire department's budget last year while prioritizing spending on the city's homeless population.

For the 2023-2024 fiscal year, Los Angeles budgeted $837 million for the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), which was roughly 65% the size of the homeless budget of $1.3 billion.

An analysis by L.A.'s city comptroller last year found that roughly half the budget for homelessness went unspent.

From the 2023-2024 to the 2024-2025 budgets, the LAFD’s budget was reduced by over $17 million from $837,191,237 to $819,637,423.


Bass had proposed a larger budget cut to the LAFD, about $23 million, but it was not adopted.


Of course, it is California where the voters drink the cool aid any time a democrat demands they do.

So, nothing will change other than federal money continuing to fix the utter devastation in the region because of their ineptitude while they try to turn the rest of the nation into California. After all, only true democracy can be attained with one party rule, that is, rul of the democrat party.
Hey, it takes out the mice and cockroaches.

So are there other insurance companies you can turn to?

Newscum ran them all out. Him and his demofks there really hate their constituents. In everything California. wow!

No Insurance, no water, no money, no help


But, but Ukraine
 
It's a desert ... here, edify yourself:


It's God's fault for putting the best railhead there ... but what ya gonna do ... let MEXICO handle the cargo? ..
The winds come from the desert in this scenario, for sure, but the issue is the snow melt and collection resovoirs for the populace. Demofks ignore the land and humans for the water melt and protect a smelt instead.

What the hell are you talking about ... these winds fall several thousand feet ... and if you think King Salmon are small fish, you're stupid ...

because demofks in California didn't want it.

Are you advocating California take Arizona's share of the water? ... cool ...

Truth is it was a coalition of Conservative farmers and Liberal environmentalist who defeated the Peripheral Canal - Wikipedia ...

Silly Flatlanding City-Slicker thinks farmers can use sea water on their crops ... how adorable ...

Smelt is a small fish, finger length. I never said one word about a salmon. Quote me accurately.

So again, is the fish more important than a human life?

North of California water is for California, why would Arizona need that?
