CALIFORNIA DECLARES A STATE OF EMERGENCY

California’s neglect and lack of action to clear brush, dead trees and allowing billions of gallons of water to flow into the ocean as opposed to being routed into lakes and facilities has resulted in a crises.

Governor Gavin Newsom today proclaimed a state of emergency for Siskiyou County due to the effects of the McKinney Fire, which has destroyed homes, threatened critical infrastructure and forced the evacuation of almost 2,000 residents. Intensified and spread by dry fuels, extreme drought conditions, high temperatures, winds and lightning storms, the McKinney Fire has burned more than 29,500 acres since it began.

Environmental fanatics rule the day in California. Controlled burns ? Bad for the environment! Routing of water! That'll kill some exotic, rare western cockroach that nobody cares about. And on and on. Let's put 40 million people in a place that's never had enough precipitation, overengineer the hell out of infrastructure to bring in water, etc, and hope nothing goes wrong.

@graphite you'd think the mojave desert would've been a good indicator that the area doesn't get much rain and that droughts are the norm, not an exception...🤔

@wildbill83 All that water just off the sand, and nary a desalinization plant in sight

"The problem is we have a problem. It's not that we don't know we have a problem. We've known it for years. It's not that we don't know what the solutions are. We've known those for years. The problem is, we haven't done anything about it."

Newsom did not say this. A past Cleveland Mayor did. But, it could well become a mantra of the left.

Such a waste of resources and property all for the sake of dumassery.

If they’d let park visitors use the fallen branches in the campfire fire pits it would help a bit. No they have to bring in wood from somewhere else and sell it in the camp stores instead. And they will tell you that they don’t want visitors picking up the fallen branches because they are there helping the ecosystem. Some help when they catch fire and make it spread worse. Damn ridiculous.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Then you will see the opposite at the border. Americans scrambling to get out of the country.

Hhmm. I'm only 2 hours away from there... probably less then that. It would be 40 minutes away if it's not up hill.

Well this will happen again and again until they realise that you need to keep the undergrowth under control - get minimum security prisoners to do some work and give them time off there sentences

Watch for Newsom, to lead the Democrat ticket, in 2024.
FreestyleArt · 31-35, M
@Oster1 Newsom wouldn't even make it. These Dem shitheads are not aware about Newsom is Hated not only in California but the rest of states knows him.

Which is good that every states agree He is another piece of shit cardboard Candidate.
Oster1 · M
@FreestyleArt We all agree. This is why, he will lead. He has the demon skill sets and connections. I still predict, he will be one. 😊
FreestyleArt · 31-35, M
@Oster1 but not every states agree what he made California to be. Matter in fact he will drop out before the race starts
These idiots continue to do this shit intentionally...and a large percentage of the population is still asleep.

I really don't see conservatives doing anything about the situation anymore than democrats. Both refuse to do anything about the problem ever since Nixon.

The Hoover dam should have never been built in the first place. Las Vegas would never exist nor surrounding cities.

That's capitalism at it's worst.
do you know that California sells water to Vegas so they can blast their fountains in the desert casinos? They all take water from the Colorado River and others. sickening...
