As I write this, two things continue to happen in California:
More wildfires are starting – with the latest one being just west of the Hollywood sign in Hollywood Hills, and city and state “leaders” on the Democrat side continue to be epic failures.

When last we left you, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D), fresh off a taxpayer-funded pleasure trip to Ghana, stared at a reporter with a blank look on her face and then walked away without saying a word after she was repeatedly asked questions about her disastrous failures including catastrophic decisions that have literally made fighting fires in Los Angeles an uphill battle for firefighters.
As RedState also reported, Bass wasn’t the only elected Democrat official in the Golden State who got put on blast Wednesday.
President-Elect Donald Trump ripped into Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) big time, noting that the far-left Democrat, “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.”
That was done, Trump correctly pointed out, in a failed effort to save the “smelt” fish.
“He is to blame for this,” Trump went on to declare via his Truth Social account.
As Newsom traveled to some of the impacted areas Wednesday for his standard photo op, CNN’s Anderson Cooper talked to him for a few minutes and brought up what Trump had to say.
Newsom pretended to get emotional, claiming he was holding back from what he really wanted to say, and then whined about Trump allegedly “politicizing” the tragedy amid the loss of lives and homes:
Cooper: I hate to even ask this question, but the President-Elect chose to attack you, blaming you for this.
Newsom: It’s, uh, one can’t even respond to it. I mean, it’s, uh, people… are literally fleeing. People have lost their lives. Kids lost their schools. Families completely torn asunder. Churches burned down. This guy wanted to politicize it. I-I have a lot of thoughts and I know what I want to say. I won’t.
I stood next to the President of the United States of America today, and I was proud to be with Joe Biden and he had the backs of every single person in this community. He didn’t play politics, didn’t try to divide any of us.
Watch:

First things first, why did Cooper “hate” to ask that question of Newsom? I think the answer is pretty obvious but that’s a subject for another day.
Secondly, Newsom lost the right to criticize anyone for allegedly “politicizing” a tragedy considering all the times he’s politicized a mass shooting or natural disaster or anything else he could politicize just to keep his name in the national headlines at a time when he was trying to present himself as a viable alternative to Joe Biden.
Thirdly, Newsom inadvertently made Trump’s point in talking about what residents have had to do since the fires started. Who has been in charge in California over the last couple of decades or so statewide and in the big cities? Democrats like Newsom, all of who enact policies that cause people to flee one way or the other, whether it’s due to coddling criminals or lack of preparedness for the exact types of dangerous situations that have unfolded in recent weeks.
Lastly, contra to Newsom’s claim, now is exactly the time to talk about what went wrong and who failed the citizens of the state. The only reason he rejects the timing of the criticism is because he’s the one on the receiving end of it.
California’s Water Resource Board includes this as an aim of their Department:
Another goal:
In other words, there is NO plan to build dams.
Tearing them down seems to be the order of the department.
gavin has proudly torn down four dams so far.
Gruesom Newsom is a pile of Adamschitt. Nothing more than a slimy lying, snake oil salesman. He should be forced out of office along with that those two DEI morons, the Mayor of LA and the ignorant police chief.
Gavin just follow, Trudeau. He did the right thing, and you should do the same for the sake of CA.
It’s your fault newscum
The Salaries of these nincompoops way out of line
