In 2022, the Los Angeles County Fire Department shipped technology to Ukraine, and the Biden administration is now working overtime to give the nation millions of dollars in freebies as California burns.
Maybe ABC 7 put it best in 2022 when it stated that “everyone in southern California is finding ways to keep Ukraine before and center, and it’s no different for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.”
The fire department is today caught scurrying without the ability to contain the Pacific Palisades fire, which has still claimed thousands of lives and caused many homes, despite having donated its own” deficit” supplies to aid a foreign government.
Far-left Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who is missing in action because she is active attending an occasion in yet another foreign land, Ghana, also slashed the Los Angeles Fire Department’s resources by$ 17.6 million for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. Her first proposal was$ 23 million.
The city has been dealing with shortages of firefighters for a number of years, and the U.S. Forest Service ( USFS ) workforce has significantly decreased since 2020. After President Joe Biden objected to a expenses to help contain burns, claiming it would have undermined animals and environmental safeguards, USFS also ended some forest management tasks, like prescribed fires in California.
In a reactionary move that displays California’s and the federal government’s lack of preparedness to battle wildfires, the Federal Emergency Management Agency ( FEMA ) has cut a deal with California to reimburse the state for having to hire more firefighters, providing compensation for up to 75 percent of “eligible firefighting costs” for things like equipment, supplies, and mobilization efforts.
In 2021, Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., lauded the new Biden administration as” not a fighting companion, but a functioning companion”, in contrast to the Trump presidency. But President-elect Donald Trump slammed Newsom for constantly refusing his second administration’s efforts to help lessen and fight fires.
According to a statement on Twitter from” Governor Gavin Newscum,” who “refused to mark the water restoration declaration that would have allowed millions of gallons of water to flow regular from excessive rain and snow melt from the North into several parts of California, including the areas that are already burning in a nearly horrific manner, By giving a smelt less water, he wanted to protect an basically useless bass called a tastes ( it didn’t job! ). ), but didn’t care about the people of California. The final value is now being paid. I may need that this ignorant government allow beautiful, clear, fresh water to FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA! He is to blame for this, not me. On top of it all, no waters for fire extinguishers, never firefighting flights. A true disaster” ! ,
While he was president, Trump frequently criticized Newsom’s mishandling of fire, saying that there is no justification for these large, fatal, and expensive bush fires in California because forest control is so bad. Millions of dollars are given each year to victims of grave forest incompetence, with many lives lost. Treatment then, or no more Fed obligations”!
The treason-level ineptitude displayed by Democrats at local and federal rates shows they care more about the lives and livelihoods of a group of people on the planet than they do about Americans, in conjunction with the Biden administration’s last-ditch effort to give Ukraine yet more money on his way out of business.
As Biden prepares to leave office, his focus is still on getting the land as much money as possible rather than saving Americans in California. Democrat devotion to Ukraine has continued apace.
Officials from the Defense Department were reportedly working on a significant cash donation to Ukraine this week when President-elect Donald Trump’s election day arrived, but they were apparently depressed because they would not be able to deliver all$ 4 billion in the country’s accumulated funds.
A Pentagon established stated that there will still be more than a few billion dollars in PDA funding for use after Jan. 20. ” We are focused ideal now, especially at the Pentagon, on providing Ukraine with the security features that we can provide in the time we have, including putting points on contracts that will be delivered throughout 2025 and into 2026 in order to build that ability so that Ukraine can be in the strongest place if it comes to a dialogue,” said the Pentagon.
