I would hardly consider the sellout (sic) of a national security issue public utility/right/need such as water to some business conglomerate to be 'woke' - more like another case of asleep at the wheel in return for sufficient dollars, and 'woke' can be in exactly the same category.

Too many of you try desperately to imagine that the world is black and white, when it is all grey. I suppose that suits your victimhood narratives better ... make it all about 'us' and 'them' without reading a single word or looking at a single fact. Grin

Does that make sense to you even?

LA Mayor Used Fire Department Money to Fund Queer Occult Interests,
'Ebony Theatre,' Trans Cafe, and More

Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Karen Bass

has faced a number of criticisms over her leadership amid the wildfires destroying large portions of the city.

First, there was the fact that Bass spent the first part of the crisis several thousand miles away on an entirely separate continent, attending an official trip all the way in Africa as the horrible situation unfolded.

Then, there was the revelation that she had tried to slash almost $49 million
from the Los Angeles Fire Department budget one day before the Pacific Palisades fire started.

The move came after more than $17 million in cuts the previous year.

If Bass did not want to spend money on fighting fires in a state which lives under a constant threat of such disasters, then the question of what the city funded instead must be raised.

The budget resolution for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, which said on the front cover that the document was submitted by Bass herself before being modified and adopted by the Los Angeles City Council, indeed revealed some rather foolish spending priorities.

There was a “Midnight Stroll Transgender Cafe,” for which Bass suggested a $100,000 slush fund, an amount that was fully approved by the City Council.

The funding was meant to “support a safe haven for unsheltered transgender individuals in Hollywood between the hours of 9:00 pm and 7:00 am.”

One has to wonder whether those “unsheltered transgender individuals” will still be able to take their midnight strolls in that area, or if that area will be reduced to rubble by the fires.

There was $8,230 allocated to the Ebony Repertory Theatre, a project which attempts to “provide a permanent home for artists of color that enables those artists to explore, experience and present a wide-ranging variety of programs that reflect the significant canon of African-American literary, artistic and cultural achievements.”

There was meanwhile $8,670 earmarked for the ONE Archives Foundation.

That entity supports the largest repository of “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer” materials in the world at the University of Southern California.

I have. They said they didn't do anything to cut staff. They said no firepeople were cut. On the contrary, they said, the city budgeted for 220 new recruits.

So another lie. A compulsive liar. Wink

bravo ... the first step to recovery is acknowledging you have a problem. Well done

I remember a time when disasters united us as a people, as a community. Whatever tragic reason impelled us, we were brought together through times such as these.

And look at Gordy's thread. Did i see Frank ask how wind starts fires? And Lee ... jesus.

It's really just sad that in the face of all of this absolute horror, you lot are obsessing about how "woke" the establishment is. That is seriously you're foremost thought. Falling over yourselves to pillory somebody with that your foremost thought. Us and themism, in a time we are in tuth united in eery way that actually matters.

It's not my foremost thought. I'm thinking about the loss. Compassion. Empathy. Sympathy. Community.

The time for recrimination is not now. Shame on you who make that their got to. What on earth do you think you're achieving? What actually is your point? Whaat is it that you are trying to achieve?

When lefty progressives prove to be incompetent and neglectful to a dev a stating degree, it is time for ecumenical setting aside of political differences. Blame climate change, blame anything, just not the Lefty progressives in charge.

On the other hand, if the Governor were a Republican and the mayor and fire to chief were Trumpites, blame exclusively the powers in charge. Those in power must then be held to account.

So WHO IS responsible if

Not the Governor
Not the mayor
Not the fire department
Not the lack of water (diverted to save little fishy mcfishface)
Not the empty reservoirs, the dry hydrants
Not the weather forcasters Not anyone in LA or California.

Oh, I know, I know! TRUMP, of course.
But he is not in any office yet.

Oh, details, details. He is responsible. Must be. Somehow.

Told youse, leftards:

Democrat Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey has claimed that the Los Angeles fires are the result of a climate change “disaster” stoked by President-elect Donald Trump’s embrace of “Big Oil” — and there is “more death” coming as a result.

“Trump has been bought for $1 billion by Big Oil. Just a payoff to kill the IRA and the Green New Deal. We know what will happen. More fires, more climate disasters, more death. The LA fires are preview of coming atrocities,” Markey wrote on X on Saturday:

He's not even sworn in but Trump is already burning down LA.

Just so, Mother. Yes, we all remember a time.

Wasn't so long ago when Gavin offered Victoria assistance in our own fires, no? Thoughts and prayers, he said. Anything we can do to help?

Now it's a pile on. Suck on that, Newscum, they say. BURN BABY BURN !!!

You do know what this is about, right? California is now a bastion of MAGA resistance. Newscum looks great on TV. They're the most successful economy in the US, and Newscum has the hyde to say it.

Green, clean, loaded. DL can't have that, so he's sent Elon to fix the algorithm. Say this, DL says. Elon says it.

Now you say that, Elon says. DL complies.

There, do you see? A nice happy relationship. DL and the globalist billionaire elites, happily farming the patriots and Real Americans here on our jolly board
