The Small Silver Lining in the Smoky LA Sky

 

Unless you were on Mars...or visiting Ghana...you couldn't ignore the perilous week that Los Angeles had.   And is still having.   

The entire Palisades Village is gone, except for allegedly my dentist's office.  Malibu is partially destroyed.  So are other areas throughout Los Angeles.  And it's one or two degrees of separation for you to know somebody who lost their home.   I know three such people.

Why?

Well, this is all the end result of environmentalists getting their hands on government policies so they could save the planet.   We'll save the planet while killing everything else.   No more controlled burns of brush.  Reduced water pressure with low-flow toilets and showers.  Sure, let's fix a lot of inconsequential stuff while everything burns around us.

There's lot of blame to go around.  But, at the end of the fiery day, let's look at the two idiots pictured above.  Two incompetents that got elected because A/One is Black and B/They both have Ds that follow their names.  Neither one should be working at what they are doing, but A Lister Hollywood helped get them both elected.   By the way, that's the same A Listers who lost homes in the Pacific Palisades.

I've know Mayor Karen Bass was a fraud long before she became Mayor.  You see, for several years, she was my Congressional rep.  On three different occasions, I contacted her office with questions on health care.  No one, even an intern, bothered to contact me.   The unspoken legend is that they ignore citizens if their last name looks "too white."   

Well, despite the fact Bass was told there might be a catastrophic fire event in the coming days, she still got on a plane and flew to Ghana to represent the US as a Presidential inauguration.   

As for the other shithead above, Governor Gavin Newsom and his latent stupidity might finally have sunk him here.   The guy who just loves being glib for the camera can't explain why fire fighters couldn't get water pressure to fight a fire.  But most people, except for the Hollywood A-Listers, tried to get rid of him in a recall two years ago.   If that vote was held today, the outcome might be different.

So, that, my friends, is the small silver lining amid all the smoky ash.  Right now is not a good time to be a Democrat in California.

Dinner last night:  Taylor Ham on English muffin.
