“Fire, to destroy all you’ve done. Fire, to end all you’ve become.” From Fire, written by Vincent Crane, Arthur Brown, Michael Finesilver, and Peter Ker.

Like plenty of you folks, for the past several days I flinch every time I go near social media. That’s a healthy response on a good day, but right now that reaction might save what’s left of my sanity.

Damn near all of us have friends, family and colleagues who live in the greater Los Angeles area. Don’t get me wrong: I feel fairly safe in my home conveniently located 2,832 miles east of the conflagrations. I know exactly where my closest (and damn near only) relative is, and I know she’s safe. But each time I look at social media I learn of more confidants, comrades, and cronies who have lost their homes and everything within. Everything that has provided material comfort to these folks for most of their lives.

The word “devastating” has never sounded more impotent. But I’ll tell you what is worse. Far, far worse.

Our Fascist Party has decided it is all the Democrats’ fault. Yes, these nattering nabobs of negativism, these soulless, evil conspirators, do not believe the fires are the result of science facts like the Santa Anna winds and severe droughts. No, these people are saying these fires were allowed to happen or were caused to happen by people who have been publicly opposed to the Fascist Party’s takeover of American democracy.

Elon Musk, the richest liar in the world, the man who did not create Tesla or Twitter, said, “They prioritized DEI over saving lives and homes.” DEI is the latest Big Bugaboo of the American Right. It stands of “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” three things these worthless bastards believe to be the current Greatest Evil of All Time. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are, to these bigots, anti-American: this is a nation that was created and molded by white, male, heterosexual Christians who think Hitler had some good ideas in addition to the Volkswagen.

This is because the Los Angeles fire chief, Kristin Crowley, is both a woman and a supporter of LBGTQ+ equality. As we know, the libtards only hire LBGTQ+ women for their emergency services departments, and that is because that emasculates those white, male, heterosexual Christians.

Alex Jones, the most disgusting liar in the world, stated President Biden had put a stop to firefighting plans by design as part of a globalist plot to wage economic warfare. His pal Elon Musk responded with one-word: “True.”

Prove it, you lying bastards.

According to the newspaper The Guardian, Arizona Fascist Party congressman Andy Biggs told Newsmax that the Federal Emergency Management Agency diverted money to migrants from their natural disaster relief funds. Fascist Party congressman Warren Davidson of Ohio said federal funds must be withheld from California until they cave in to his party’s baseless demands. One will note the Democratic Party made no such demands last month when the Red States of North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida begged for $110 billion to disaster relief for areas affected by Hurricanes Milton and Helene. But, you know, fuck California.

Junior Trump, the smartest of President Felon’s breathtakingly stupid children, strongly suggested the LAFD contribution to the Ukraine freedom fighters in 2022 undermined their response to this current nightmare. Damn, I thought it was started by that Jewish laser satellite the Fascist Party has been promoting.

But incoming President Felon takes the cake. He said the state screwed up the water supply in order to protect the Delta smelt. He also said Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom “refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the north, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way.”

Yeah. There’s just one problem with that. Both claims are complete and utter bullshit. In point of absolute fact — there was no so-called water restoration declaration. None. That’s the type of man President Felon is. Well, that and his complete freedom from responsibility.

To all our friends out in the Los Angeles area: hang in there. I know that is a hell of a lot easier to say that than it is to do, but please remember this: you are not alone.

Your friends stand with you.
