In perhaps the most unexpected, shocking revelation to come out of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, it turns out their Fire Chief is an “LGBTQ+” woman who is obsessed with DEI. Who could have possibly guessed that?
Of course, I’m being sarcastic given who’s in charge. For context, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is currently on a taxpayer-funded trip to Ghana while her city burns. So yeah, her priorities are clearly in line. Crap, there goes that sarcasm again.
Anyway, meet Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley. She has been lauded by the press as the “first female and openly gay person” to ever hold the role. What was one of her first initiatives after being appointed? She started a diversity, equity, and inclusion program focused on recruiting more women and gay firefighters.Â

CROWLEY: I am super inspired.
REPORTER: She took time out of her already busy schedule to tell us about her vision for the department’s future, one that includes a three-year strategic plan to increase diversity.
CROWLEY: People ask me, “Well, what, well, what number are you looking for?” I say, ” I’m not looking for a number. It’s never enough.”
REPORTER: Out of 3300 city firefighters, only 115 are women right now. She’s already looking for ways to change that. She’s quick to point out that doing so serves a greater purpose: Attracting the best and brightest for the job.
CROWLEY: They feel included, they feel valued, and they feel part of a cohesive team.
REPORTER: The chief also checks another box when it comes to inclusivity and diversity at this department. She’s a proud member of the LGBTQ community.
CROWLEY: That just kind of opens the door of people that thought, “Ah, I didn’t even know that that was an opportunity for me.”
Whenever you hear DEI advocates claim that their initiatives are going to result in the “best and brightest,” you can just flush whatever else they have to say. It’s the same thing we hear from the Biden administration regarding DEI and the U.S. Military. Again and again, the actual result ends up being less qualified applications pushed through due to the identity boxes they check. In the case of the military, it also results in recruitment dropping overall as prospective service members realize they’ll be discriminated against to push left-wing narratives.
In the case of Crowley, she spent millions of dollars creating an entire DEI bureau within the LAFD with the express goal of increasing “diversity” within the department. Keep in mind that the department was already facing financial constraints, and in 2024, its budget was cut by $17.6 million.

How much does DEI affect the readiness of something like the LAFD? That’s hard to quantify, but can anyone be blamed for assuming that it doesn’t help? As my former RedState colleague Kira Davis pointed out, it’s impossible to ignore how off the ratios are given these are heavily male-dominated fields.
The amount of female fire/police chiefs I have seen in the last 2 weeks is ridiculous. Yes I’ll say it- part of our problem here is that we’ve got way too many unqualified women leading entire departments of qualified men. It’s obviously a DEI problem. I said what I said.

DEI advocates demand you ignore your lying eyes and basic common sense when they insist these programs have no negative effect on capability. Firefighting is one of the most physically intensive jobs in existence, both regarding stamina and the ability to carry heavy weights. It is not a field where anyone should be prioritizing DEI because that will inevitably lead to people being part of the department who can’t do the job as effectively as a traditional applicant.
That it’s become taboo to even say this stuff is mind-blowing.
Record rainfall the last 2 years the water ran into the ocean, the hydrants ran dry 3 huge tanks were full before the fire but the pumps to refill them were not sufficient. Controlled burns were stopped allowing fuel for the wildfire now the fuel is houses. Insurance companies cancelled months ago due to the frequency of fires in the once golden state.
Due to the frequency of the fires and Newsom not allowing insurance companies to raise rates to cover the risks. So, the insurance companies just moved out.
Was she the chief when joe asked lefty fire departments for equipment to create 16 entire fire departments in UKRAINE?
Where were the fire boats that can spray tons of sea water at beachfront fires?
Never saw one used so for.
So, Malibu and beach homes south of Malibu burned out, all of them.
Could be a Maui situation where the gov’t has plans for the land and you, the old homeowner, ain’t a part of it.
Can you imagine paying $240,000 in annual property tax for a piece of beach with nothing on it?
Then you learn about all the years in planning and hoops and red tape before you can start rebuilding and you’ll sell.
That 750 buckaroonis from Fema will be such a relief. The absent Mayor cut the budget for the FD this works up as the perfect storm, now if Fema wont assist those in flood zones, why should they help those in a fire zone?
NC is still getting private assistance from churches and other private and corporate helpers nada zip nothing from their state or the feds, they are lucky if the authorities allow passage to those that need the help.
Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden is assuring southern California that since they vote Democrat, they don’t have to worry about being treated like S. Carolina or Florida. They’ll get their funding no matter what it takes.
I read a comment elsewhere that sea water couldn’t be used because it was bad for the vegetation. You know… the stuff that burned up.
This was in most part terrorist arson, add democrat leadership and you have the inability to handle the difficulties.

DEI has no place anywhere. You can be the biggest fag in the world, but if you can haul a coil of hose 200 yards while wearing 75 lbs of gear, who cares? However, if you are put in that position BECAUSE you are a fag or a woman or a woman fag, they you will get people KILLED.
