Normally when a politician becomes the mayor of a major city, it’s because they’ve supposedly spent their career working in the city and advancing its interests. Eric Adams became the mayor of New York after working in local law enforcement for more than 20 years. So did the mayor of Fresno, a man named Jerry Dyer. Meanwhile, the new mayor of San Francisco, Daniel Lurie, helped ensure that the Bay Area would be the home of Super Bowl 50 a few years back. That’s not to say that these are necessarily good politicians. But if you look through their careers, at the very least, you’ll find that they clearly had an interest in the city that they would later represent as mayor. But the current mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, is an exception. If you look at what Karen Bass has been talking about for the past decade, you’ll find that, by her own admission, she was never particularly interested in California. Instead, again and again, she’s talked about advancing the interests of Africa. Here’s just a small selection of her appearances on African media. Watch: Again, this is an allegedly American politician, who supposedly represents Americans. But in reality, she’s doing the Ilhan Omar routine, where she constantly promises to use America’s resources to help people who aren’t American. So, it was fitting that, as an unprecedented, massive wildfire broke out in Los Angeles this week, Bass was again in Africa, attending the inauguration of Ghana’s new president. Why is the mayor of an American city taking time off of work to attend the inauguration of a third world leader 7,000 miles away? Well, that’s a good question. This was not simply “bad timing,” as you may have seen it portrayed in the media. It was more like an inevitability. Democrats like Bass spend so much time representing their real constituents — foreigners — that they’re rarely in town when a disaster materializes back at home. WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show Democrats are able to get away with this betrayal because, for the most part, the media lets them do it. So it must have come as a great shock to Karen when, after she landed at LAX, she was immediately confronted by a reporter who grilled her about her many failures. This reporter, David Blevins, is the “Senior Ireland Correspondent” at Sky News. Here’s how the conversation went: Total flying time from Ghana to Los Angeles is something like 18 hours. And that whole time, Bass apparently didn’t prepare any kind of response to these questions — all of which were highly predictable. She didn’t think about why she had slashed the fire department budget by $18 million just a few months ago. She didn’t have any message for the thousands of displaced families that she supposedly represents. Instead, Karen Bass kept quiet until her staffers handed her some talking points to read. And then once she had those talking points, she promptly humiliated herself once again. Watch:   It would be impossible to script a more on-the-nose satire of Democrats’ priorities (and total incompetence) than what Karen Bass just pulled off. She abandons her constituents during a massive fire in order to pander to Africans, and then she transforms into Ron Burgundy when she belatedly returns. In case you didn’t catch it, she read the URL as, literally, “url.” By Bass’ own admission, she needs to be removed from office immediately. And we know Bass agrees with that, because she wrote this post on social media when Ted Cruz infamously went on vacation during a disaster in Texas: “Ted Cruz fleeing Texas in the middle of a deadly crisis is part of a larger pattern of the GOP abandoning folks in crisis. We need to build a movement to kick them all out.” Politicians like Bass are why climate change is such a common talking point on the Left. It’s their “Get out of jail free card” when their incompetence becomes extremely obvious. Sen. Bernie Sanders, for example, just put out a tweet claiming that the wildfires prove that climate change is “real.”  There are a few major problems with that claim. The first one is that no one — even the alleged “scientific experts” — thinks it’s true. Michael Shellenberger just spoke to Jon Keeley, a researcher at the U.S. Geological Survey who’s been studying fires like this for decades. Keeley stated:  “I don’t think these fires are the result of climate change. You certainly could get these events without climate change.” Of course you could. The thing driving the fires is wind. Wind is not a product of climate change. We’ve always had wind, for as long as we’ve had Earth itself. As for the origin of the fires themselves, that’s a different question. An important question to ask, especially since we were promised — just a few years ago — that electing Joe Biden would effectively end wildfires in this country. Biden said it himself, after the last big wildfire he pretended to care about. Watch:   It took less than four years for this particular “climate change” prediction to blow up in their faces. We’ve gone from “Biden will end wildfires forever” to “Biden will use wildfires as an opportunity to make personal announcements about his family.” Here he was yesterday:   It’s very similar to what Joe Biden did after the Maui fires, which he also used as an occasion to talk about his personal life. Meanwhile the rest of us — people who aren’t elected Democrats — are left wondering exactly what went wrong here, and how to fix it. Yesterday, officials offered one possible explanation for why these fires are now wildly out of control. They stated that there’s a shortage of firefighters in Los Angeles. Watch: Q: Were you prepared, do you have resources? "No," county was "not prepared for this type of widespread disaster," says Chief Marrone. "We're doing the very best we can. But no, we don't have enough fire personnel in L.A. County between all of the departments to handle this." pic.twitter.com/r3xml5pBdv — Caleb Howe (@CalebHowe) January 8, 2025   Why might there be a shortage of firefighters? It turns out, that’s not a great mystery either. Just a few years ago, Los Angeles officials celebrated the suspension and termination of more than 100 firefighters because they wouldn’t take the COVID shot. Watch: A few months after terminating all of these firefighters for not taking the COVID shot, a new chief took over at the Los Angeles Fire Department. And this new chief doubled down on DEI hiring. She went out of her way to “diversify” the ranks of the LAFD, meaning she wanted to hire fewer white men, and more lesbians like herself. Watch: Los Angeles recently appointed its very 1st female, LGBTQ+ fire chief with the goal of recruiting more women & gay firefighters pic.twitter.com/h8vfAYkbiV — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) January 8, 2025 So this is the fire chief’s top priority. And she got to work immediately, creating a DEI Bureau within just one year. Watch:   They’re “doing the work” at the Los Angeles Fire Department, whatever that means. To be fair to this fire chief, a month ago, she did send a letter to the mayor, explaining that her department would struggle to respond to wildfires because of the funding cuts. Here’s what that letter looked like: L.A. Fire Chief Kristin Crowley warned Mayor Karen Bass (D) last month the $17+ million she cut from the department's budget "severely limited the department's capacity to prepare for, train for, and respond to large-scale emergencies, including wildfires" pic.twitter.com/tgzIAeHIsQ — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) January 9, 2025 The fire chief states that Bass’ budget cuts had, quote, “Severely limited the Department’s capacity to prepare for, train for, and respond to large-scale emergencies, including wildfires.” What’s particularly strange about these budget cuts (and the fire department’s focus on DEI) is that it’s been widely known for years that a massive, devastating wildfire was potentially imminent in Los Angeles. Insurance companies have known that, which is why they tried to raise rates on disaster coverage for homeowners in recent years. But instead of responding to the risk, Democrats in California banned the insurance companies from raising rates, and then they fired the firefighters for not taking the COVID shot. So the insurance companies dropped thousands of California residents from coverage. Meanwhile, California’s leaders also took down a massive dam, just to ensure that emergency personnel would have as little available water as possible in the event of a fire. Watch: Biden and Gavin Newsom recently did the largest water dam removal in U.S. history because tribal leaders said to save fish pic.twitter.com/QfGlviRNYE — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) January 8, 2025 So they redirect rainwater to the ocean and shut down the dams to save the fish and appease the “tribal elders.” And now they’re apparently out of water to fight these fires. Firefighters are using traffic cones to scoop water now, as you can see here: LAFD firefighter scoops water with a traffic cone. Fire hydrants are out of water… in a coastal area. pic.twitter.com/FvYCidSXCl — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) January 9, 2025 These are images that are going to be remembered many years from now. As the mayor of Los Angeles hangs out in Ghana, and the Fire Department leadership pushes DEI hiring, and the politicians empty the reservoirs and remove the dams, and the brush remains uncleared, the rank-and-file firefighters are reduced to scooping water into traffic cones. This is what Donald Trump warned about just a few months ago on Joe Rogan’s podcast. In fact, he’s been warning about it for years. And now it’s happened. In case it’s not clear, it’s necessary to scoop water into traffic cones because no water is coming out of the fire hydrants. The businessman Rick Caruso called into local news to make that observation. Watch: This is obviously an extremely damaging piece of information for local officials. That’s presumably why an anchor at the local Fox affiliate tried to fact-check Rick Caruso, and imply he was wrong about this. And then he was immediately fact-checked by a Fox reporter on the ground, who confirmed that indeed, the firefighters are out of water: In an attempt to debunk Rick Caruso, LA morning anchor Melvin Robert is embarrassingly fact-checked by their own on-the-ground reporter: pic.twitter.com/lCvfMEnXxJ — MarioFakerREAL ? (@mario_faker) January 8, 2025 This is one of the most basic factual issues of this entire disaster, and the local media obviously has no idea what’s going on. Neither do the people who are supposedly running the state. Yesterday evening, CNN asked Gavin Newsom about why there was no water coming out of the fire hydrants. And he had no answer to that question:   Shortly after that interview was shot, another fire began in the Hollywood Hills. Arson obviously seems like a strong possibility to explain it, because California is a lawless state when no one — even arsonists — are prosecuted. Additionally, late last night, someone shot footage of what appear to be arson attacks taking place in the city. This is from Santa Monica. Watch: People are lighting fires in otherwise non-burning urban areas of LA. Saw this happen first hand at 302 Pico in Santa Monica. Called it in & fire dept & police responded. Stay safe and call in any activity ASAP. We don’t need more flames out here. pic.twitter.com/AZ4GLr6N3q — Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. (@hubermanlab) January 9, 2025   Based on that footage, and the sheer number of separate fires, it seems more likely than not that we’re dealing with a series of arson attacks here. But at the moment, we don’t know for sure. What we do know, as this catastrophe continues to unfold in Los Angeles, is that no one is buying the “climate change” narrative anymore. The people running the state of California are simply too incompetent and too incoherent to pull it off. Yes, it’s too late for the people living in the many destroyed areas of Los Angeles, which are becoming more numerous by the hour. But the rest of the country now understands exactly where climate change derangement leads. Along with DEI and the rest of the “equity agenda,” it leads to destruction and blame-shifting and ultimately, total disaster. And as entire enclaves in Left-wing cities burn to the ground, the reality is now simply too obvious — even for the most committed members of the climate cult — to ignore any longer.

Wildfires are breaking out all around the Los Angeles area. It’s horrifying. But why is it happening? According to the L.A. County fire chief, they have no idea how all of this happened. It’s possible the winds are to blame; it’s also possible that it’s copycats. That has happened many times in California recently. Homeless people living in these areas have used open flames. It’s possible that somebody threw a cigarette out. We really have no idea at this point. If you look at the pictures, firefighters are not there because there’s nothing they can do. The big question is why California didn’t mitigate this. Natural disasters can happen anywhere at any time. There are earthquakes, wildfires, and hurricanes, but the difference with wildfires is that public policy matters a great deal. With every natural disaster situation, public policy can mitigate the effects of the natural disaster. This is why earthquakes that occur in a first-world country like the United States do not cause a lot of buildings to fall down. But an earthquake of the same magnitude in a third-world country could cause the deaths of tens of thousands of people. Buildings are built to code in places like the United States. When it comes to hurricane response, response matters. This is why Florida, under Governor Ron DeSantis, handled disasters really, really well when it came to mitigation and response. But when it comes to preparedness, California has been an absolute disaster area — for years. They’ve not done anything they could have done to mitigate the effects of seasons like this. Gavin Newsom, the absolutely execrable governor of California, has spent more money than any governor in the history of the state of California by a long shot. He spends billions of dollars on useless rail projects. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show When I hosted a radio show in L.A. years ago, I interviewed Newsom and asked him about high-speed rail. At the time, he was running for governor. He said it was a dumb idea. But then, he immediately reversed himself to spend billions of dollars on a rail that goes nowhere and has never been built. So Newsom was trying to pretend he was handling the situation, even as much of the state is on fire. One of the beautiful things about being a Democrat is you can blame everybody but yourself, even though you’re the person with authority.  So on Wednesday, Newsom spoke about whether he had any responsibility for anything that’s going on. It turned out, according to him, that everyone else who’s not Gavin Newsom is to blame. What a shock. In an interview with CNN, he was asked, “What is the situation with the water?” “The local folks are trying to figure that out,” he answered. “I mean, when you have a system that’s not dissimilar to what we’ve seen in other extraordinarily large scale fires, whether it be pipe electricity or whether it just be the complete overwhelm of the system. I mean, those hydrants are typical for two or three fires, maybe one fire. You have something at this scale. But again, that’s going to be determined by the local authorities.” California has had a significant water shortage for years because they refused to build the necessary infrastructure. There’s a ton of mismanagement raging. It is a perfect storm, not just in terms of the fire conditions, but also in terms of the political conditions for fires to rage out of control — from DEI to budgeting, from environmentalism to blaming climate change. Democrats have done a horrifying job on all of this. Although you can’t blame Gavin Newsom or Karen Bass for the fires, you can blame them for not doing the preparation necessary to deal with some of the most perfectly predictable weather. There are wildfires pretty much every year in California. Let’s begin with DEI and firefighting. In L.A., they have been prioritizing intersectional characteristics for hiring firefighters. This is not a rip on the current firefighters in Los Angeles. It is a suggestion that placing the prioritization of effective firefighting below the race and sexual identity of the people who are doing the firefighting is stupid, wrong, and backwards. A 2023 NPR piece wrote, “Firefighting is mostly white male. A California program aims to change that.” When it comes to DEI and the fire department, that is a problem. It is also a tertiary or quaternary problem when it comes to the list of problems here. The top of the list would be things like lying about your wildfire prevention efforts, which Newsom did back in 2021. According to see CapRadio in 2021: On Gavin Newsom’s first full day in office, Jan. 8, 2019, the newly elected governor stood before the cameras, clad in jeans and sneakers and surrounded by emergency responders, and declared war on wildfires. “Everybody has had enough,” the governor said, announcing he’d signed a sweeping executive order overhauling the state’s approach to wildfire prevention. Climate change was sparking fires more frequent, ferocious, and far-reaching than ever before, Newsom said, and confronting them would have to become a year-round effort. The state’s response, Newsom added, “fundamentally has to change.” But two-and-a-half years later, as California approaches what could be the worst wildfire season on record, it does so with little evidence of the year-round attention Newsom promised. An investigation from CapRadio and NPR’s California Newsroom found the governor has misrepresented his accomplishments and even disinvested in wildfire prevention. The investigation found Newsom overstated, by an astounding 690%, the number of acres treated with fuel breaks and prescribed burns in the very forestry projects he said needed to be prioritized to protect the state’s most vulnerable communities. Newsom has claimed that 35 “priority projects” carried out as a result of his executive order resulted in fire prevention work on 90,000 acres. But the state’s own data show the actual number is 11,399. Overall, California’s response has faltered under Newsom. After an initial jump during his first year in office, data obtained by CapRadio and NPR’s California Newsroom show Cal Fire’s fuel reduction output dropped by half in 2020, to levels below Gov. Jerry Brown’s final year in office. At the same time, Newsom slashed roughly $150 million from Cal Fire’s wildfire prevention budget. It’s not just on the statewide level. Just weeks ago, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass cut the fire department budget by nearly $20 million. Disaster preparedness is one of the few things the government can actually be good at. But California has been awful at it. They haven’t done what they need to do on an environmental level. They did not clear the brush. They did not create the fuel breaks. They did not do backfires in order to burn and clear some of the areas that were most likely to become tinder for a giant wildfire like this. L.A. and California are wildly mismanaged. They built no new reservoirs. They built no new dams. The same reservoir, which was a very important reservoir for holding water for situations like this, which was planned in a remote corner of the western Sacramento Valley for at least 40 years, still has not been built. That is how California works. California released reservoir water not all that long ago. They released water because they didn’t do the infrastructure work, and now the water is not there when they need it. Slow clap for the geniuses in California. JOIN THE MOVEMENT IN ’25 WITH 25% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS WITH CODE DW25 Of course, so much of this is also tied to the insane environmental policies. As was noted on X, “In 2007 the Sierra Club successfully sued the Forest Service to prevent them from creating a Categorical Exclusion (CE) to NEPA for controlled burns (the technical term is ‘fuel reduction’). The CE would have allowed the forest service to conduct burns without having to perform a full EIS (the median time for which is 3.5 years). John Muir project helped to claw back the full scope of Categorial Exclusions from the 2018 Omnibus Bill as well (though some easement did make it through). In 2021 the outgoing Trump BLM was served with the following notice of intent to sue by the Center for Biological Diversity for their fuel reduction plan in the Great Basin: BLM backed away from the plan after the transition.” Disaster can strike anywhere. The preparation here is nonexistent. In fact, worse than nonexistent, damaging or actively damaging. And yet Democrats keep being elected in California.
