The Liberal Left’s Democrat-controlled state government is killing innocent Californians.
Perhaps the last remaining independent state official, State Auditor Elaine Howle, reports that three county governments and the Governor’s office (Democrat Jerry Brown, followed by Democrat Gavin Newsom) were LAX (similar to “lackadaisical”) by NOT preparing for “monster” fires and NOT effectively evacuating people (some who burned inside their cars on clogged roads).
Amazingly, Howle uses the word “failed” in describing the State’s preparation for and response to wildfires, and even reports the consequences of not requiring all Californians to learn English (so non-English speakers didn’t understand evacuation instructions). What an indictment of your Democrat rulers.
Of course, the story behind the story, and the facts that the Liberal Left and Big Media are hiding from you, is that there are nearly 150 million dead trees and countless millions of acres of dead underbrush that the Democrat rulers of California refuse to remove. So the Democrat politicians who bow down to environmental wackos threaten and kill Californians instead. Truly, Democrat politicians’ policies regard trees and weeds as more valuable than people created in the image of God, which is hateful and wrong and a terrible sin.
Also, based on the evidence and the cause and effect of this whole matter, here’s a good question:
Should non-thinking Democrat voters be called “Dumbocrats”?
The Los Angeles Times reported on the failure of California’s Democrat voters to critically think:
“Pummeled by fires, drought and floods, California’s Democratic primary voters put fighting climate change at the top of their list of issues for the next president to tackle. Nearly half of likely Democratic primary voters call the issue the No. 1 priority for the next president, according to a new statewide poll conducted by UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies for the Los Angeles Times.”
But get this — most Democrats never question what they’re told, and thus never study how the main influence of little climate changes on Planet Earth are from fluctuations in the Sun (Sol), which we revolve around by design: https://tinyurl.com/w855fab
And most Democrats never think of the logic of how pouring gasoline on a fire is dangerous, foolish, and wrong. But that’s figuratively what the Democrat rulers of California are doing. By not thinning live trees and bushes and not clearing out dead trees and underbrush, they are providing very combustible fodder to sparks that fly.
As I reported earlier, a child can understand how a lighted match can start a small fire. Why can’t the ruling Democrats in Sacramento? Oh, they understand. They just aren’t willing to go against their environmental group pimps, who value trees and weeds over people’s lives and property.

Can you imagine if your free speech and religious freedom were outlawed?
It may sound far-fetched, but that seems to be the dream of Liberal Left politicians and their unconstitutional allies in California.
And while the ruling Democrats and their accomplices in the Big Media don’t want you to hear, see, or speak the truth about the damage they’re doing, WE DO. Which is a big reason that SaveCalifornia.com is here for you.
I want you to know that tomorrow’s an important day around the world.It’s called “Giving Tuesday.” And I can tell you that California’s left-wing groups are already working hard to raise millions of dollars for their immoral agenda that opposes (and even seeks to eliminate) your voice, your values, and your constitutional rights.
But here’s the good news. SaveCalifornia.com is also here, working hard to tell families the Truth that Big Government and Big Media don’t want you to know. Because our mission is to champion and defend all that you hold dear. Yes, this is war!
Here’s where you come in. On December 3’s Giving Tuesday, SaveCalifornia.com needs your tangible help to speak up, speak out, and stand strong for you and your family. We also need your help to resist, expose, and oppose left-wing tyranny.
Will you join me in saying NO to the harmful liberal agenda against you and your family? And will you partner with me to say YES to God’s design of marriage and family, and your constitutional rights as an American?
On Giving Tuesday, or even today, will you give a special gift to help SaveCalifornia.com report the TRUTH that the Liberal Left and Big Media are hiding from you?
Because it’s you and other moral Californians who empower our work. Which is why, with your participation, SaveCalifornia.com will boldly represent and equip you and countless other individuals and families.
Why did California experience 7,117 recorded wildfires in 2017, 6,284 separate wildfires in 2018, and, so far, in 2019, 5,061 separate wildfires?
Because there are nearly 150 million dead trees in California’s wilderness areas, providing cataclysmic fuel for sparks to become little fires that can become big fires. It’s also the reason behind PG&E cutting power to millions of homes in Northern and Central California.
But California’s ruling Democrat politicians refuse to LEARN from repeated, avoidable, tragic evidence. So they don’t TURN away from their worship of the environmental groups’ anti-people agenda of not thinning trees and brush, not clearing out dead wood and underbrush, and not installing protective fire breaks. So California BURNS and the People suffer.
This explains the rash of California wildfires both now and in recent years. The ruling Democrat politicians, who’ve been in virtual control of the California State Legislature for 60 years, have bowed down to the environmental wacko groups and refused to do their basic “gardening” and “pruning” of California’s sprawling wilderness.
So today, there is an overwhelming supply of combustible fodder for sparks to quickly become explosive “monster” fires that destroy homes and kill people. A child can understand how a match plus a pile of dry leaves can quickly turn into a fire — why can’t California’s ruling Democrat politicians? All these wildfires are on their watch.
Did the 2/3rd’s Democrats in control of both houses of the State Legislature so easily forget last year’s Carr Fire that incinerated the town of Paradise in Northern California? This deadly inferno killed 86 people and destroyed 18,661 structures, most of them residences. Stop and think about it. Isn’t a government that refuses to prevent killer wildfires — that can indeed be prevented — guilty of neglect, at least, or crimes against humanity, at most?
AN UNDENIABLE FACT: In many communities of the central and southern Sierra Nevada mountain range, “80 percent of trees are dead,” said Ken Pimlott, former director of Cal Fire.Source
Rep. McClintock said the forest service used to auction surplus timber harvested from national forests. This served two purposes: 1) clearing, cleaning, and thinning the forest; 2) providing usable timber for a myriad of industries. The timber the forest service auctioned off more than paid for the entire federal agency, and then some. Local governments even received 25 percent of the proceeds of the lumber auctions, while 75 percent went to the federal government.
“Revenues that our forest management agencies once produced – and that facilitated our forest stewardship – have all but dried up,” McClintock said. This has devastated rural communities that once thrived from the forest economy. McClintock said there were once 147 timber mills; now, there are only 29 in the country.
McClintock also pointed out that despite the growing population, visitation to national forests has declined significantly as the health of our forests has decayed. “We can no longer manage lands to prevent fire or even salvage dead timber once fire has destroyed it,” he said.
Private forests are still managed properly, but not forests on public lands.
That sound practice grounded to a halt when the most radical environmentalists took over. Now thick, overgrown and diseased forests have become tinder boxes and are burning down in California, leaving a trail of death and destruction.
