Flame-Broiled!
There is one thing that is more blistering hot than the California wildfires and that is the smackdown that President Trump just laid down on the state’s socialist governor.
On Sunday, the leader of the free world ripped Gavin Newsom a new one when he threatened to withhold federal aid to the homeland of the resistance over the failure of Democrat leaders to properly manage the forests.
It has been under one-party rule that a state that was once among the finest in the nation has descended into a hellish dystopia courtesy of liberal policies taken to the extreme.
Great American cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles are plagued by homelessness, disease, crime, overpopulation and in the case of the city by the bay, streets that are so filled with used drug needles and human feces that the squalor is reminiscent of the third world.
And then there are the fires along with the insane idea that cutting off electrical power to millions of residents will somehow remedy years of liberal failure that have created the conditions for the wildfires.
The POTUS has had enough!
The Governor of California, @GavinNewsom, has done a terrible job of forest management. I told him from the first day we met that he must “clean” his forest floors regardless of what his bosses, the environmentalists, DEMAND of him. Must also do burns and cut fire stoppers…..

….putting these massive, and many, fires out. Great firefighters! Also, open up the ridiculously closed water lanes coming down from the North. Don’t pour it out into the Pacific Ocean. Should be done immediately. California desperately needs water, and you can have it now!

According to the POTUS:
The Governor of California, @GavinNewsom, has done a terrible job of forest management. I told him from the first day we met that he must “clean” his forest floors regardless of what his bosses, the environmentalists, DEMAND of him. Must also do burns and cut fire stoppers…..
..Every year, as the fire’s rage & California burns, it is the same thing-and then he comes to the Federal Government for $$$ help. No more. Get your act together Governor. You don’t see close to the level of burn in other states…But our teams are working well together in….
….putting these massive, and many, fires out. Great firefighters! Also, open up the ridiculously closed water lanes coming down from the North. Don’t pour it out into the Pacific Ocean. Should be done immediately. California desperately needs water, and you can have it now!
Governor Newsom who is the former mayor of San Francisco and who has national political ambitions quickly whipped out hid iPhone and returned fire.
You don’t believe in climate change. You are excused from this conversation. https://t.co/PSt8N39Er5

Like with all loopy leftists, Newsom quickly played the climate change card that has been deftly used by the political left to cover up for their own miserable policy failures and which has now become something of a doomsday cult thanks to the likes of Al Gore, AOC and creepy child activist Greta Thunberg.
It was only last week that Newsom’s predecessor, Jerry “Governor Moonbeam” Brown went to Washington where he delivered an unhinged rant in front of a House committee where he railed against Trump and Republicans that they have “blood on their soul” for the fires.

Newsom’s reaction over Trump’s threat shows that the loony leftists who rule the Golden State with an iron fist are hypocrites who want to have it both ways.
They want to flout the will of the rest of the country over a lost election by mobilizing in mass and squandering resources that could be better used to address the state’s very serious issues – including the wildfires – and yet throw a fit whenever there is a hint that government money will be withheld.
Like Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom will soon become a poster boy for liberal failure, many would suggest that he is already there, including President Trump.
