My one and probably only post on the Cali wildfires

I’m with John Ringo.


Eat of it indeed. Via Ragin’ Dave, who adds:

Just for the record, I agree with this 100%. I do not care how many people lose homes in Los Angeles. Especially in Pacific Palisades, or Malibu, or Santa Monica. Because I’ve lived in LA, I’ve been to those areas, and I know without a single doubt that damn near every single person living there, with a few exceptions here and there, voted for Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass. They voted for the people who defunded the fire department. They voted for the people who fired the firefighters who refused to get the jab. They voted for the governor and his cronies who refused to fill the reservoirs. They voted for DEI instead of competence, they voted for Marxism instead of something that actually works, they voted for all of this. They voted for the regulations that prevented the fire base from being cut back. They voted for the empty fire hydrants.

They voted for everything that is now afflicting them.

Yep, that’s about the size of it. Read the rest. I say again: some of us live and learn. Others just live, and never learn.

  1. I’ve said at least 10 times in the last few days, I not only don’t care, I wish the entire state would burn to the ground, then spread to Oregone and Washington.

    I know there are a handful that don’t deserve it.

  2. dumb question:
    like the vote that installed Joe Biden in 2020, how many (un-manufactured) votes did Newsom and Bass actually get?
    I agree: there are a lot of drug-addled weirds in that State, but think of all the right-thinking  normal people you know out there.

    1. “…how many (un-manufactured) votes did Newsom and Bass actually get?”

      Good question. Perhaps the “elections” in commiefornia are closer than they appear.

      OTOH, the cities are uniquely bad even among the marxist controlled class of city we have in this country.

      1. There are more Republican voters in CA than any other State except FL and TX.
        That being said, the areas mentioned are overwhelmingly Dem Voters this time. No question about it.

        I will note that James Woods has a house in the Palisades.
        Miraculously, his house was spared while all around him they burned to the ground.

        Biblical almost…

    2. My thoughts exactly. I don’t think you can say at the same time that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen (which it 100% absolutely was), and at the same time look at California (and other deep blue places) and their elections and say, “fuck em, they voted for it.” Maybe they did vote for it, and maybe they didn’t. Democrat electoral fraud wasn’t invented in 2020 – they have been perfecting it for a long time.

  3. I would be far more empathetic toward the plight of CA, if there had been an equal outpouring of gov. largesse toward WNC.

    Since there wasn’t, and there still isn’t, I guess those Left Coast folks are getting what they paid for… Damn shame, really.

  4. “Unpopular” take???
    Get the fuck out of here.
    Too pussified by an order or magnitude.
    But more people are starting to “get it”.

    I repeat what I said in my post on the topic:
    If I were governor for a day, the tankers would be dropping napalm and aviation gasoline, and trying to burn even more of the communist pigs out, once and for all.
    I’d even bus homeless people and Democommunists from other areas into the hot zones while the conflagrations raged out of control.

    Anything less than that is half-assed apathy.

    What’s needed is to let der flammen do some by-God werfing.

          1. I have no idea why anyone would start a rumor that I’d been spotted driving around the area every night with a flare gun and a bucket of flares.

            For the record, I have never been spotted. 😉

"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards."
Claire Wolfe, 101 Things to Do 'Til the Revolution

Claire's Cabal—The Freedom Forums

FREEDOM!!!

"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
Daniel Webster

“When I was young I was depressed all the time. But suicide no longer seemed a possibility in my life. At my age there was very little left to kill.”
Charles Bukowski

“A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.”
Ezra Pound

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
Frank Zappa

“The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.”
John Adams

"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves."
Bertrand de Jouvenel

"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."
GK Chesterton

"I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."
Donald Surber

"The only way to live free is to live unobserved."
Etienne de la Boiete

"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."
Dwight D. Eisenhower

"To put it simply, the Left is the stupid and the insane, led by the evil. You can’t persuade the stupid or the insane and you had damn well better fight the evil."
Skeptic

"There is no better way to stamp your power on people than through the dead hand of bureaucracy. You cannot reason with paperwork."
David Black, from Turn Left For Gibraltar

"If the laws of God and men, are therefore of no effect, when the magistracy is left at liberty to break them; and if the lusts of those who are too strong for the tribunals of justice, cannot be otherwise restrained than by sedition, tumults and war, those seditions, tumults and wars, are justified by the laws of God and man."
John Adams

"The limits of tyranny are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
Frederick Douglass

"Give me the media and I will make of any nation a herd of swine."
Joseph Goebbels

“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”
Ronald Reagan

"Ain't no misunderstanding this war. They want to rule us and aim to do it. We aim not to allow it. All there is to it."
NC Reed, from Parno's Peril

"I just want a government that fits in the box it originally came in."
Bill Whittle
