Now do your Governor.






NEW: LA Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong says it was a mistake for his paper to endorse Karen Bass, says competent people should be elected, not professional politicians.While I'm glad people are waking up, this is not some profound concept. "We endorsed Karen Bass. I think right now, that's a mistake. And we admit that."


I think we were one of the few to say competence matters... the interesting thing is that maybe we should think about how we elect people on the basis of did they actually run a job?""Did they actually make a payroll? Do they understand what it is?""Rather than having professional politicians whose only job is ready to run for office."

I get most people don't like the ATF. I'm just pointing out they aren't the EPA.

Them asking for help on something that should be an easy investigation can mean it wasn't bought or registered here. If it was then this should be embarrassing to them they asked.

Oops.

44 Republicans Voted Against Forest Management Wildfire Prevention in December

Trump once blamed officials who didn't, as he put it, "rake their forests" to prevent the spread of wildfires. Trump was likely referring to a forest management technique of clearing out underbrush.

In December, 44 Republicans voted against HR 10545, the American Relief Act of 2025, which provided funds for wildfire prevention measures, including $75,000,000 for the "construction or maintenance of shaded fuel breaks in the Pacific Regions."

The bill also replenished federal disaster relief funds due to recent disasters such as the multiple hurricanes that have hit the east coast. Republicans frequently vote against bills that help people, and in this case, could prevent wildfire from spreading and destroying people's homes.

MAGA voices right now are attempting to blame others for the California wildfires, yet 44 of them voted against a bill containing funding for wildfire prevention. Some of these Republicans have posted about the California fires, but failed to mention how they voted against wildfire prevention in December.

No Democrats voted against the bill. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders who caucuses with the Democrats did vote against the bill, but explained in a statement that he knew it would pass but was protesting against provisions that were stripped from the bill after Elon Musk got involved in the process. In tweet, outgoing Senator Mitt Romney also indicated his vote was a protest vote.

girl please. come back when 88 republicans vote against it.

If it's arson could they call it terrorist attack and would that be a federal crime?

Depends on the motive and who they catch. But yes there are certain situations that Federal Crimes could be added.
