Horrific.
70 Christians were brutally beheaded by an Islamist group inside a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Where’s the media outrage?
Pray for persecuted Christians 🙏
Over the next few weeks you’re going to hear Governor Gavin Newsom, Mayor Karen Bass, and the Democratic Party tell you that there’s nothing that could have been done to prevent the fires from destroying Los Angeles.
Those will be lies. They could have prevented them. Governor Newsom cut the funding for preventing forest fires and failed to build sufficient water resources for fighting fires. Mayor Karen Bass cut $17.5 million in funding for the Los Angeles Fire Department and then went to Ghana even though she knew of the risk of catastrophic fires.
It’s true that California, in general, and Los Angeles, in particular, are fiery places. It’s true that the Santa Ana winds made the fires worse.
But Newsom and Bass have known about those hazards for all of their careers and failed to deal with them. Their rank incompetence and lack of leadership are shocking and scandalous.
It’s hard to overstate how badly they screwed up water management. LA firefighters haven’t had the water they needed. Newsom hasn’t built the new water reservoirs that Los Angeles needed. And Newsom even cut the budget for water infrastructure projects last year.
Why is that? Part of the reason is that they were focused on other things. Making the fire department more racially diverse. Climate change. Homelessness.
And the reason they were focused on those things is because those are what the radical Left that controls the Democratic party wanted them to focus on.
Year after year, they do nothing while focusing on things like trans and Trump and climate and ignoring the things that really matter to the people of California.
The Democrats in California aren’t like Democrats in other states. They are radicals. I would know, since when I was a young radical I moved to California for that reason.
As many of us get older, we become more moderate. We become more practical. We understand firefighters and police officers are necessary. We are reminded of the importance of things like safe streets and hard work and good schools.
But more than that, I saw the consequences of radical progressive policies on the environment, homelessness, crime, education, water, and everything else. Violent criminals, in particular, are devouring Los Angeles, Oakland, and the rest of California.
The people who control the Democratic Party in California worship books about Los Angeles, like City of Quartz by the Marxist author Mike Davis. In that book, Davis claims that the problem in Los Angeles is that too much money goes to things like firefighting to protect wealthy neighborhoods.
They did the same thing on crime and homelessness. They failed to provide adequate funding to the police. They weakened the laws that allowed for burglaries and robberies. They subsidized homelessness, attracting homeless people from around the United States to camp illegally and start fires.
Over half of the fires in places like Los Angeles and Oakland are caused by the homeless committing arson, often out of some petty revenge.
We don’t know what started all of the fires, but at least one started within the housing subdivision. Others may have started in the interface between housing and wildlands. Or it could have been started by the homeless.
Whatever the case, California and LA didn’t invest enough in preventing fires because they were distracted by radical Left causes.
When Rick Caruso ran for Mayor against Karen Bass, he called for increasing the fire department’s budget.
A big part of the reason he lost is simply because he was white. I watched focus groups in 2022 and the most racist people were white liberals in Los Angeles. When they discussed the mayoral race, the white people overwhelmingly said they couldn’t vote for a white man and had to vote for a black woman because she was black.
The Latino men and women in separate focus groups were much less racist. They wanted to know about their policies.
It was the radical Left that invented the racist idea that white people alive today should feel guilty about things white people did in the past. Racist white guilt led people in Los Angeles and California to vote against a guy who would have prevented those fires.
And so, over the next few weeks, when you hear Governor Gavin Newsom, Mayor Karen Bass, and the Democratic Party tell you that there’s nothing they could have done to prevent the fires from destroying Los Angeles, don’t believe them.
It’s time for California to grow up and move beyond the juvenile Leftism that has destroyed the state and destroyed Los Angeles. We can’t trust our leaders to run anything. It’s not just incompetence. It’s that they really don’t care.
It’s time for Californians to demand new leaders — ones who aren’t beholden to the radicals who control the Democratic Party. .
Looking forward to the new biopic movie but gotta admit, was a little disappointed when I realized it wasn't about the Aussie Olympian breakdancer, but some president guy... #somedaysoonimsure#raygun 4 prez

Got another fun commercial, this time for some sporty Pokemon company--ESPEON?? https://t.co/nxQ1VYe0WU
So thankful to @espn, the agency, Revery, Bill Bailey Casting, Director Mike Egan, the many awesome Portlandian crew, and more! Most esp, Almighty God!
@stickermule I'm hesitant to speak up in the same way, as not being an owner of a co., i'd prob lose my job if i did. Hopefully this is waking ppl up to how they are becoming the evil they accuse DJT of when they wish death and malice to him and his supporters.
@stickermule Aren't these the people who preach "tolerance"? I respect your honesty and boldness. Sad that when all you're doing is speaking out on what you have every right to believe and say (not to mention your encouragement to show kindness across the spectrum), your life is threatened...
Can't pass up a God is Good "trend". He's good all the time. He was a Father for this (essentially) fatherless child, a Tower of refuge and strength for this weakling, a redeeming Savior to this failure, a comfort to this lonely soul, and absolute Love to this wretch. Praise Him!
