Episode Details

This terrible, tragic story about what is happening in Southern California isn’t about wildfires or climate change, no matter how badly the elected class in California tries to spin it as such. Wildfires have been a part of everyday life since Los Angeles was created. And climate change didn’t cause the explosion in the size of this wildfire. But blame for the utter devastation has a home.

Woke-brained ideologues and eco-zealous activists who have captured California government—at every level—have instituted reckless and dangerous utopian ideas and unrealistic and imbecilic initiatives, which have made this tragedy 100 times more dangerous and deadly than it had to be.

Wildfires in California are nothing new. No one should have been surprised about a wildfire in Southern California. No one should have been caught unprepared for the annual arrival of the Santa Anna winds. What is happening in California right now was bound to happen sooner or later. However, the inability of California’s state and local governments to mitigate the emergency has caused this natural disaster to become an unnatural disaster propagated by inferior intellect at the hands of social engineers of a dysfunctional ideology.

Traditionally—or until the woke mob assumed the throne—a large portion of California’s state, county, and city budgets were allocated to a reasonable amount of fire prevention, water management, and forest maintenance. But since the invasion of the woke, fire prevention budgets have been slashed, water management doesn’t exist, and forest maintenance is considered a crime.

At a time when a large portion of the budgets should have been devoted to securing the safety of the citizens of California by evolving fire prevention abilities, hiring more firemen and training them for wildfires, and solving the decades-old water crisis—the exact opposite has taken place.

Over 2,000 homes have burned to the ground (so far). Let that number sink in. It will take decades to rebuild all that was lost if, in fact, the people who lost their homes are allowed to get permits to do so for all the bureaucratic bullshit people have to go through in California. So, the overarching question for the moment is this: Why did this happen?

Los Angeles elected a radically extreme neo-Marxist activist for its mayor, Karen Bass. She is woke in a devout way; fully invested in the DEI culture that manufactures the equity of outcomes instead of the equality of opportunity.

Bass cut the fire department’s budget by $17.6 million in deference to the institution of DEI programs and their accompanying taxpayer-funded administrative salaries. At the same time, Bass’s budget found money for housing, educating, and healthcare for millions of illegal immigrants and the homeless.

By the way, with full knowledge that a massive wind event was to bear down on Los Angeles and its surrounding area, Bass went to Africa to celebrate the inauguration of Ghana’s president. Why would attending such an event serve the people of Los Angeles?

Then, we have the DEI hires who are the Fire Chief of Los Angeles, Kristin Crowley, an LGBTQ+ community member, devoted to DEI (and damn proud of it, according to her official department bio), and her deputy chief, Kristine Larson, also of the LGBTQ+ community. Larson heads up the department’s D
