It is by far not a revelation, nor does it rank as a newsflash, that wildfires are a serious threat in many places. None the least, California, where the threat is not only serious but also constant, especially during the dry Santa Ana wind season. Where such winds, combined with high temperatures and dry vegetation, create the perfect storm for flames to spread quickly. “Long Known” and “Historically Proven” Conditions . . . existing for many thousands of years!
And yet, in the so-called most powerful country on Earth, the source of truly mind-boggling technological achievements, etc., etc., etc., . . . California continues to suffer death and destruction from uncontrolled/out-of-control wildfires!
Yes, the same California that continues to dedicate untold tax dollars and other resources to creating a sanctuary for illegal aliens, and for an array of save the Planet Earth and endangered fish endeavors, etc., . . . while the state repeatedly suffers death and destruction from uncontrolled/out-of-control wildfires!
Yes, in the same America that dedicates untold tax dollars and other resources to aid many other countries around the globe in their respective struggles against threats of nature and human sources . . . as, for example, California repeatedly suffers death and destruction from uncontrolled/out-of-control wildfires!
Which leads some among us to ponder that there seems to so-to-speak really be something drastically wrong with this picture! As various foes of our country are in turn possibly thinking that a few “kitchen matches” may be all they actually need in their conquer/destroy America arsenal . . . that is, in lieu of all that costly and complicated weaponry they have to date struggled and sacrificed to develop and maintain!
On the other hand, it just might be that California’s wildfire threat, and other challenges, will one day soon be solved by obviously tried-and-proven folks like their Governor Gavin Newson, U.S. Senator Adam Schiff, U.S. Representative, Nancy Pelosi, and Los Angeles Mayor, Karen Bass, etc. Along with a duly expedited California effort to ensure that all positions of power and responsibility within the state are unfailingly filled with folks selected strictly on the bases of DEI criteria. As in turn those demonstrating commonsense, relevant qualifications, verified ability, essential performance, etc., are swiftly purged, silenced, and duly scorned.
