Raging flames driven by a fierce windstorm scorched a rapidly growing area of Southern California, destroying homes, forcing at least 30,000 residents to evacuate and choking the sky with smoke, with officials warning that the worst was yet to come.

Is there anyone from California?

What are Biden and the Democrats doing?  >:( >:( >:(

President Elected posted this info today

President-elect Trump pinned blame for the "apocalyptic" wildfires tearing through Los Angeles County on California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.

"Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way," Trump posted on Truth Social late Wednesday morning.

"He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didnt work!), but didnt care about the people of California. Now the ultimate price is being paid. I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA! He is the blame for this. On top of it all, no water for fire hydrants, not firefighting planes. A true disaster!"

The fires are pretty bad (I'm currently in Orange County, so pretty much the entire city of LA is in between me and the fires). The winds were pretty fierce here the last 2 days, it is pretty calm now (right where I am), but I think it is supposed to be at least 20 mph winds where the fires are for the rest of the week (as opposed to gusts up to 70+ mph last night). This area hasn't had any real rain for many months of unusually hot weather so everything is quite dry. Once a fire gets started in those conditions it is pretty much unstoppable and embers blow downwind and start new fires easily. These conditions were in the forecast with some pretty dire warnings, they knew if fires started it would be bad - and they brought in a bunch of extra firefighting equipment but with thousands of homes up against tinder dry foothills there is only so much you can do.

What did Biden do? - cancelled a planned ceremony for a new National Monument here, and declared a state of emergency. surely you don't expect him to grab a fire hose and get in the way?

ETA: While it is possible transferring water from the N could have resulted in slightly less burnable material once the fires got into built up areas, they wouldn't have put that water into the foothills chapparal where I think most of these fires started. While global warming possibly contributed to the extended hot and dry conditions, Santa Ana winds and droughts are nothing new here and happen no matter the politics of the government.

I am glad that there is Trump, who speaks the truth.
The following needs to be done: Remove the Democrat from office and put in prison. Replace all governors of all states with Republicans.
Democrats are enemies of humanity and friends of the Russians, Chinese and terrorists.
We recently saw how people died in Florida, now people are being burned in California. All this is the criminal policy of Biden and the Democrats. Biden's entire tenure is daily genocide and murder in Ukraine.

That's exactly what this cowardly bastar.d should do. I always write that Biden's place is in prison and in the electric chair. I really hope that under Trump all the crimes of Biden and the Democrats will be revealed to the public.
Hang in there! Better prepare to evacuate, because under the Democrats there could be any casualties.

"This is just sad. Los Angeles is really hurting right now.

If you are anywhere near fires please pack whats necessary & evacuate immediately !!!!!!!!

I have many friends, neighbors & people I know that have lost everything. My own home & those around it are in extreme danger as the Santa Monica mountains fires continue to spread & has now even reached the Hollywood hills close to Runyon Canyon.

There are also fires picking up in other heavily mountain areas in surrounding areas.

To my friends who are trying to tough it out & stay home hoping it wont completely come your way, be smart & leave now !!!!!!."

At first I thought I saw Ukraine, but then I realized it was the USA.

Poor houses: no fire-proof, no water-proof, no wind-proof, no foundations. Poor materials (sold as gold) and weak buildings, like huts.

No proper fire extinction services as a public service.


Every year the same.

You must be a very compassionate human being. Living in Ukraine and getting so symphatic with people in Los Angeles. They should reward you some price.

"8 years following the approval by California voters of a $7.5 billion water bond aimed at building water storage facilities, no projects have yet been completed.
Concurrently, vast amounts of fresh snowmelt and rainfall are still flowing unused into the Pacific ocean."

There are very good people in Los Angeles who help Ukraine a lot. Also, the US is Ukraine's main ally. Therefore, Ukraine is not indifferent to the problems of the US.

It doesn't matter who Californians vote for in the US. The US is a democracy. Many US residents are politically illiterate and believe the lies of the Democrats. More precisely, the Democrats make the right speeches, but they always keep the figs in their pockets and deceive both their voters and allies. There is no need to put an equal sign between the party bosses of the Democratic Party and the citizens of the US.

Well, actually, that's why people suffered, because they believed the democrats. There shouldn't be joy here, but sympathy and support.

So if the people voted in power don't help Ukraine nor the majority of the people living there, who are the people you are talking about then exactly?

About the US Democratic Party and its representatives in positions of power.

The USA is a technologically highly developed country. With so many technical achievements and innovations.

What I just don't want to understand are the power lines that still look the same today as they did 100 years ago. If we know - as has been proven by extensive studies - that the main cause of such fires is defective power lines, why on earth are they not buried in these areas? Especially in areas where storms are always raging so violently that the cables snap and their sparking ends set fire to dry bushes or trees.

And why are so many houses built entirely of wood in these areas, which contribute significantly to the immense flying sparks and feed the fires additionally?

Wouldn't it make sense to prevent the fires from taking on such devastating proportions in the first place?

stocker comes from a country that has been invaded by an imperialist who claims that the members of his people have been mistreated in this country and because he claims to need it as a military shield against NATO.

stocker supports an imperialist US president who threatens to annex - by force of arms if necessary - a country that is an autonomous territory of Denmark and also feels that it belongs to Denmark because he claims to need it as a military shield against Russia.

It remains a mystery how one can (rightly) rail against the aggressor and at the same time de-emphasize another potential occupier when one is affected by losing one's own nation and national identity to a foreign power.

I'm extremely sorry and feel for the people who lost their home and their goods. Especially for those who couldn't get an insurance for this. I hope they get any help they need!
