You need to do some research, Rick. There is no document called the 'water restoration declaration' - Trump just made it up. LA gets its water from groundwater and aqueducts.

You need to do some research, Rick. There is no document called the 'water restoration declaration' - Trump just made it up. LA gets its water from groundwater and aqueducts. And the Colorado river, which has long been mismanaged serves several states, including Republican-controlled states. FYI, the water reserves were at their highest level for some years before these fires began. As usual, Trump and his supporters, like you, are irrelevant in a crisis.
Fire has always been part of the California ecosystem, the fires and heating climate are making these fires worse. Trump and his claque don’t want to admit to the reality of climate change.
Bryan well , I wasn’t talking just about the Eaton fire, nor only about the deaths… and by the way one of my wife’s ex-Vice presidents of operations just lost her home completely after just finishing remodeling it.
My wife was a CEO of a major company in Southern California that encompassed the entire county
The lost home was In Altadena as a matter of fact, we lived in southern California for 30 years and know the area very well. We actually lived in Calabasas, which is threatened by fires year after year. On three occasions, we’ve had the fire coming right up to our driveway and then one particular case we had a fire brigade in encampment on our front lawn overnight.
There’s no heat in the winter in California. They don’t put enough budget towards remediation cutting back areas so that embers aren’t able to catch onto local areas. Fire barriers, etc..
put climate change in your pocket and keep it there another 50 years these fires have been going on for 100 years or MORE . And the government of California doesn’t do enough to remediate them nor prepare themselves to fight them. And I’m guessing if Heather had wrote this article and Trump was the governor of California she’d be all over his butt.
I wasn’t referring to anything Trump said, nor did I hear what he said other than it was the governors fault for not dealing with it.
And as my statement read, it is absolutely not just the governor, but the mayor and the Democrat party there that has Never allocated enough budget towards fire mitigation. And in fact, if you read my post, the mayor of LA just cut 17 million dollars to the budget of firefighters in LA County. Just before fire season
You have to live in California to understand what’s going on with water, rights and water flows, but it doesn’t have anything to do with this whatsoever. It has to do with The Environmental crazies that have prevented California, especially Northern California from building dams that are needed for water reclamation and for fire prevention and I wish there was a way other than capital letters that I could’ve highlighted what I just said above.
I did live in California for 30 years not understanding exactly what was going on with Water nor fire mitigation
To your comment, Water has been at its highest level. You have no idea what the highest level is because they could’ve built two dams that they’ve been wanting to build for years and needed to build for years that would have saved hundreds of millions of gallons of freshwater from running right into the Pacific Ocean, it makes me sick thinking about it.
I didn’t expect to post anything, but when I read Heather’s letter rather than her blaming Trump for blaming the governor what she did was blame Trump in the same time that she didn’t need to be doing that she needed to be talking about the disaster itself.
But I’m trying not to respond further, and I will respond the day after inauguration day And it’s a pretty comprehensive response
Rivers run into the sea, Rick. That's what they're supposed to do. The southwestern states have experienced the worst megadrought in 1,200 years. The mightiest reservoirs – Lake Mead and Lake Powell – are at record low levels and steadily shriveling. This is global warming and creating more reservoirs when glaciers are melting back and reservoir levels are falling will not address the problem. If your bath is overflowing you turn off the water, you don't run around looking for towels and buckets. it's that simple, pal.
$17.6m was never going to fix this problem. As I've already pointed out, the lack of firefighting resources wasn't the problem. They couldn't get near to the Palisades fire or organise water drops because of the fire weather. Extreme wildfires generate their own weather systems. It's very difficult monitoring the intensity or the speed and direction in which they're moving by satellite which is why warnings are sometimes almost too late to save lives. Californian politicians recognise the severity of the problem. It's Trump and MAGA crowd (including those billionaires who are so heavily invested in polluting industries) who are denying that there is a problem or trying to blame it on others. You've fallen into that trap.
Continent so here’s your Democrat fire preparedness.
After the devastation now, Newsome is asking for an investigation as to why there isn’t any water could it be any more stupid? Could it be any more incompetent? This guy is an accessory to this damage.
As has been pointed out by many media outlets (for example, read the report in the National Geographic) the problem was one of access not supply of water. Either Trump didn't understand this or he lied. And it wasn't the smelt either. Another big, fat Trump lie. Republicans lie so much they seem unable to get their lies straight. On Fox News, which you quote approvingly, they blamed the state's inability to contain the fires on DEI initiatives. Another example is Trump's conviction. He says, over and over again (ad nauseum), that he did nothing wrong and that there was no case to answer. But he also says that the Supreme Court made a fair decision not to delay sentencing (even though four justices dissented). Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republican members of Congress were taking the line that the case was flawed because it unlawfully converted a misdemeanour into a felony i.e. that Trump did do something wrong! You guys need to get your ducks in a row, Rick, before spattering the airwaves with lies.
So also you have a problem reading ~ are you purposely trying to be an irrational? Did you read the letter from the police chief? Have you seen the news from actual locals in California?
The budget in LA counted for firefighting should be twice what it is and that’s one of the problems. They are trying and attempting to do now what they should’ve done months ago fire barriers, fire lines, removing brush that should be in the budget and it’s been that way for 40 years.
I can’t deal with your ignorance if you think that allowing valuable drinking water to go directly to the ocean, then we should take down Hoover Dam as I said earlier.
This is not a political issue. The Democrats have been in control of California for decades. They’re the ones that run the show. They’re the ones that create the budget. They’re the ones that control fires and fire mitigation and it’s been a disaster.
One Celebrity lost a home in 18 rebuilt lost the home again in 20 elsewhere. Her mother lost a home in 21 and she just lost her home AGAIN this year. let’s see if this will upset you even further. ALMOST EVERY PREDICTION ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE SINCE THE SIXTIES HAS BEEN WRONG.
WHY NOT TUNE INTO LOCAL LA NEWS ON MULTIPLE NETWORKS.
Without the Hoover Dam, California would look like the Sahara desert
Average rainfall in California per year is a little over 14 inches PER YEAR
You can repost all you want now I’m done with you. I’ll just send my last submissive right after the inauguration and again happier than hell and content with having voted for Trump. Looking forward to his administration being approved looking forward to his inauguration.
And what you’ll never get is 77 million people have no problem voting for a convicted felon convicted on BS after more BS one after another.
Now Trump can appeal his conviction. Let’s see what you say when the Trump conviction gets overturned on appeal. Uh oh !
The science of climate change has very strong foundations and is supported by all signatories to the Paris Accords in 201 (that's 196 countries). Why do you support Trump when he is obviously a crook and a liar? Many members of his own administration during his last term in office (Barr, Pence, Bolton, Hicks etc.) have confirmed this. To quote Dr Ayana Elizabeth Johnson: "Some things are simply right and some things are simply wrong. And the devil does not need an advocate." Trump is the guy who during his last term asked officials for advice on whether it was possible to nuke a hurricane. He altered a map from the National Weather Service showing the predicted course of a hurricane - with a sharpie! By the way, since the Supreme Court is the highest court in the US there can be no further appeals against this conviction. I will remind you as well that he has already been found guilty of sexual assuault and defamation against e.Jean Carroll and owes her a lot of money. Furthermore, his convictions in relation to the January 6 insurrection and the classified documents cases will be waiting for him when he leaves office. You may rant all you like, but the facts do not change.
When you're in a hole, Rick, stop digging. On September 19 last year, Antarctic sea ice likely reached its annual maximum extent of 17.16 million square kilometers (6.63 million square miles). The 2024 maximum is the second lowest in the 46-year satellite record above only 2023. Besides, what use is Antarctic ice to you or Californian householders and businesses? You may even have noted that last year was officially the hottest ever year on record with average temperatures rising above 1.6C above pre-industrial levels. By the way. I live in the UK, not the east coast of America.

All the deaths were in the on-going 10,600 acre "Eaton Fire".
The fire is just above (North West) of Altadena, CA but. below (South) of the well known Mt. Wilson.

The L.A. mayor was forward thinking when she took 17.6 million from firefighters for the homeless,
cause now there are a lot more homeless.

Wait…AND I’M IGNORANT??? Well then let’s take down all the dams in the US and watch California die….literally. Yikes.
And you just tripped over your own whatever you wanna call it
Like me and Lake Powell at their lowest record levels so let’s not save Water from running into the ocean. Holy crrrrap?
Stay on the east coast. Ok?
And please read…they have approved legislation time and time again to build fire/water reservoirs…only to let the money sit and the budgets double.
As Antarctic ice continues to grow for the last two decades.
Stop the nonsense.
I can’t wait till January 20.
