The irony of James Woods losing his home. A conservative who doesnt want to pay taxes crying on tv after losing his home.....priceless.

Shame Gavin Newsome didnt live down there, and had not only his home destroyed by his sorry ass life as well, that would make a lot of Californians happy.
 
Notice to all climate change fanatics:

1. Wind does NOT cause brush fires.

2. It is winter. Southern California is NOT hot by any means. It's cold at night and cool during the day.

3. Winter weather does NOT cause brush fires. People cause them.

4. They spread because brush has not been cleared for decades due to the insane demands of climate change fanatics.

This was the case with devastating fires in Arizona a few years ago, and the fanatics haven't backed off, haven't learned anything.
 
Many millions of California homes have wood shake roofs, or asphalt shingle roofs both of which burn with little instigation.
I had my wood shake roof replaced with high density concrete tiles. You can dump red hot burning embers on my roof and they will go out. I can't see how "burning embers" can start houses on fire unless they have wood or asphalt roofs, or dead brush underneath single-story wood eaves.
 
While not taking any questions regarding the fires, at least Tater did take time to reassure everyone that Hunter's Malibu home was fine and that he is now a great-grandfather.

Once again, Trump was right. He tried to warn California Gavin Newsom back in 2018, but nobody listened to him.



Fires tear through Pacific Palisades, Altadena, Pasadena and Sylmar; gusts of up to 99 mph reported​


"The Palisades fire had grown to more than 2,900 acres as of Tuesday evening, driven by ‘life-threatening and destructive’ winds. The extreme wind event blasting Southern California is forecast to peak between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m."

Gavin Newsom should be kicked out of California. He just made too many mistakes. Such a sleazy leader! :(

👉 California ranks as the fifth largest economy in the world, with a nominal GDP of nearly $3.9 trillion in 2023[1][7]. In terms of personal income, it has the third-highest average household income in the U.S., at $131,504, and a median income of $91,551[2][4]. Thus, while California excels in both GDP and personal income, its economic strength is primarily reflected in its GDP ranking.

👉 California experiences massive wildfires annually due to a combination of climate change, urbanization, and poor forest management. Rising temperatures and prolonged droughts create conditions conducive to wildfires, while heavy winds exacerbate fire spread [1][3]. Despite efforts, authorities struggle to manage the increasing fuel loads from suppressed smaller fires and urban encroachment into fire-prone areas [5][6]. Additionally, inadequate funding and mismanagement of wildfire prevention strategies hinder effective responses [2][9]. The complex interplay of these factors makes it challenging for authorities to resolve the persistent wildfire crisis.

👉 Gavin Newsom has faced significant criticism, particularly regarding his handling of wildfires and water management in California. Critics, including Trump, have accused him of prioritizing environmental regulations over effective wildfire prevention and water allocation, alleging incompetence in managing the state's resources during crises[1][2][7]. Additionally, he has been criticized for his response to homelessness, high gas prices, and the handling of unemployment fraud during the pandemic, which some view as indicative of broader mismanagement[5][6][8]. His controversial attendance at a lavish dinner during COVID-19 restrictions also drew backlash for perceived hypocrisy[3].

Ok.
 
In order to prevent the 'domino theory' of communist aggression coming to the streets of America we 'carpet bombed' North Vietnam with waves of B-52's (the Berlin airlift was similar with a scant few seconds between aircraft landings with supplies). But when faced with a real threat of destruction by fire we are unable to muster an effective defense, especially an all-out aerial assault when the fire is small.

I'll take a stab and say either somebody was grilling and the wind blew out some embers or most likely just some idiot throwing a cigarette out their window
I remember going through CO long ago and ever so often the median between the two lane would be black thanks to a cig starting a grass fire

I don't remember that.

This is the lamest attempt to politicize an event.
If TX was 100% Conservative and CA was 100% Liberal, you would have two fucked up places, but you'd have a better point.

TX is what...55%-65% Conservative
CA is what...55%-65% Liberal

So when terrible weather events hit large areas, it affects people from the entire political spectrum.
