California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) declared a “state of emergency” on Saturday for brush clearance ahead of peak fire season — but months too late to save the devastated communities of Los Angeles from the Palisades and Eaton fires.

did not even try to hide the fact that it came after the destructive fires in L.A.:

Following the devastation of the Los Angeles firestorms and with the risk of wildfire increasing statewide, Governor Gavin Newsom today proclaimed a state of emergency to fast-track critical projects protecting communities from wildfire, ahead of peak fire season.

to expedite forest management projects ahead of particularly challenging fire seasons in 2019 and 2020.
Later in the statement, Newsom pointed to his actions in 2019 as an example of “early action” against wildfires.

in 2021 that Newsom had vastly overstated the work of his wildfire prevention programs, which had barely had any impact at all on brush clearance.

Newsom’s new policy will relax environmental rules and allow “non-state”, i.e. private, companies to clear brush. It also commits to allowing controlled burns (“beneficial fire”) to remove fuel that can accelerate wildfires.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly argued that Newsom needs to do more to clear brush to prevent wildfires. Newsom and Democrats have pushed back, or mocked Trump, for his suggestion — which they are, belatedly following.

I'd jump in here to mock and ridicule Little Zelensky Avatar Boy, but he used the Coward button on me so wouldn't see it, and that's no fun.

Oh, for fuck's sake. The media covered for Joe Biden for almost four years. What upside-down parallel universe do you even live in, anyway?



Pretending that the media covered Biden's mental deterioration is just a blatant lie. Is that all you've got? Lies?

I agree Joe Biden should have had scripted attacks on America’s most vulnerable allies, because well we’re America god dammit and they’re not!
