California LIED In Court About Palisades Fire While Newsom's 2028 Dreams COLLAPSE

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

California officials knew about underground embers a week before the Palisades fire but failed to properly monitor them—then lied about their involvement in court documents. Is anyone surprised? We've got state representatives showing up at 4 AM to direct firefighters, then claiming they had "no responsibility" while fighting a lawsuit from 3,000 residents. Meanwhile, Mayor Karen Bass was vacationing in Ghana despite promising no international trips, water reservoirs were empty, and fire hydrants ran dry. But sure, let's trust these same leaders who made filming so expensive that Mel Gibson's crew flew to Bulgaria because it was cheaper than shooting in Hollywood. The state that's number one in homelessness, poverty, and gas prices wants us to believe this disaster isn't their fault? What could go wrong when Gavin Newsom runs for president in 2028 on this stellar track record? Are Californians finally waking up to decades of failed leadership, or will they keep voting for the same policies that turned their state into an unaffordable bureaucratic nightmare? Like and subscribe if you're tired of politicians dodging accountability while taxpayers pay the price.
