Will the voting citizens of California hold Newsom accountable?
Destroying Dams, not allowing any new reservoirs, allowing a board to basically run insurance corporations out of the state.

Newsom wants to be our next President, if elected will he do for the US what he's done to California?

One on One with Newsom and Bass

Could it get more phucked up ?
Stand back and watch this !
Roaming gangs of arsonists, clandestine Russian agents, driving around LA with incendiary mortars mounted in 3/4 ton trucks,
Setting the LA basin on fire, acts of war, surprise attack !
' What are we gonna do Sarge ? What are we gonna do ? '
Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Tokyo, burnt.
Yeah, maybe the sheet will hit the fan !

Here is why California can’t use ocean water to help fight the wildfires

quote Fire officials in Los Angeles have run into a serious snag while trying to contain the nearly half-dozen blazes threatening the city - questions about the water supply. Wildfires currently cover more than 27,000 acres of Los Angeles County. Five people have died and more than 1,000 structures have been destroyed since the wildfires began. Governor Gavin Newsom told CNN on Wednesday that the county had "depleted all of our resources," and that fire hydrants were completely tapped. "Those hydrants are typical for two or three fires, maybe one fire. And then you have something at this scale," he told Anderson Cooper. Satellite imagery of the fires shows them burning only miles away from L.A.'s Pacific Ocean shoreline. How could firefighters run out of water when there's a massive body of it just down the road? The simple answer is: it's not that simple. Sea water, in theory, could be used to help a fire. But, its salty components can do more harm than good, which is why firefighters typically avoid using it unless absolutely necessary. Salt is corrosive, and it can damage metal equipment, including critical equipment in water dumping planes and fire pumps. According to Technology.org, salt can also reduce the cooling effect of water, meaning salt water can be less efficient as a firefighting tool. Salt water also carries a charge better than fresh water, making it slightly more dangerous for firefighters. Environmental health is also a concern for fire officials considering the use of salt water for battling blazes. When salt water is dumped in large quantities on a fire, that salt has to go somewhere — typically, into the ground, or it's washed into nearby bodies of water. Introducing large quantities of salt to areas with significant vegetation — as one might expect at the site of a wildfire — is almost always detrimental. Raising soil salinity — the salt content of an area's soil — makes it harder for plants to draw water and nutrients from the soil via osmosis. Salt can also make the soil toxic, hamper seedling growth and harm the general permeability — how easily water and nutrients can move through the earth — of the soil. All of that said, firefighters do sometimes use salt water to fight fires; they just have to be careful and selective about when to employ those methods.

Hmm
Given the choice of saving thousands of homes and protecting lives and property, I'm thinking I'd be telling them to tap into the ocean to help put these fires out. It seems to me that the 6 Ps are applicable here. Proper Planning Prevent Piss Poor Performance. Destroying four dams and not allowing reservoirs to be constructed, not allowing rainwater to be captured and held seems a bit retarded to me. But at least those little fish are good to go. The lack of available home/fire insurance is also a major factor. I sincerely hope Californians figure out who is responsible for the total lack of leadership.
One can only imagine how this fire might have been controlled had there only been sufficient water available. The insurance companies saw this coming apparently.
