#4 So my Epoch Times article I just posted is redundant. Easier to read than Newsone's embedded letter....

#7 Investigation of the local fire hydrants? There's time for that later. Newsome had best figure out how to put the fires out in LA ASAP! If he can't do this, he is just another worthless politician who should never been in office in the first place!

#9 I can't make Wretchardthecat's Google Map 'slider' work, but on the current map, the map icon for 'Palisade Fire' is about 3,000' due west of the Santa Ynez reservoir.

Ironic, eh? Or maybe a "message"?

#10 I like how Boobie is like, yeah trying to call the president right now just no cell coverage oh well.

Obviously he is lying, put he puts himself into a corner, like why is there no cell phone coverage, no temp towers? That would be another failure.

These people have no thoughts, no opinions, just prepared remarks made by somebody, and they get off script they are just horrible befuddled untalented improvs.

#11 Yesterday Skidmark posted a comment with a link to the Daily Mail with a video in which Joe Biden claimed that Los Angeles fire hydrants hadn't run dry because of a water shortage, but due to power being cut to water pumps because of the killer wildfires.

Biden lets slip real reason LA fire hydrants were dry when flames began as Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass cling to their jobs

Maybe I was too quick to assume that Biden knew what he was talking about, which no one should ever do. If that really was the reason, the blame is on Newsom who appoints members of the state's Public Utilities Commission and they have consistently failed to ensure that all of the state's power companies bury their damn power lines.

Later that day I wondered why those pumps were not powered by diesel engines. I dunno, maybe the greenies don't want all that nasty, smelly diesel smoke polluting their air. Now their air is polluted by the out-of-control fires.

Whatever the reason for the failure, and in spite of the tragedy, it might be fun to watch the Democrats turn on each other. Popcorn all around!

#12 Note the tears in #6 when Biden wouldn't take his calls. His career dissipation light isn't blinking. It's gone out.
