@rawsalerts Just as long as Hunter Biden's cocaine doesn't go up in price, as we all know that he lost absolute millions of $$ worth of paintings in LA.
“Mr. President-elect, please come to my state and work with me and stop making this political as I spend $50M against you.” Newsom is the biggest turd in politics.
@csgazette@JonCaldara Colorado is known for its government's non-transparently; just look at Jena Griswold for example. Time to open the windows and let the populace see what's going on inside our political spectrum!

@GavinNewsom@realDonaldTrump Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to visit California.
Now, it isn't even on my list of travel destinations.
Thanks to you! @GavinNewsom
I may seriously puke. What a weasel you are. Your foreseeable totally avoidable man made disaster was self-inflicted shepherded by deranged liberals like you voted for by even more deranged liberals. You got what you voted for!
Crying for the INNOCENT. The rest of you idg1F about your self-inflicted suffering.
And the people in NORTH CAROLINA ARE STILL WAITING FOR HELP. CALIFORNIA IS THE WORLD’S FIFTH LARGEST ECONOMY AND THE CRIMINAL MISMANAGEMENT AND MISAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS DESIGNATED TO PREVENT THIS FUNDED TEN YEARS AGO!!??!!
Ask Biden for help. Maybe his brain will function long enough to say yes.
Holy cr*p. The Los Angeles Deputy Mayor is under investigation for allegedly calling in a bomb threat to City Hall. The FBI raided his home a few weeks ago and he was placed on leave.
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. .
