All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I’ve been for a walk (I’ve been for a walk)
On a winter’s day (on a winter’s day)
I’d be safe and warm (I’d be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.)California dreamin’ (California dreamin’)
On such a winter’s day  – Michelle and John Phillips, The Momma’s & The Pappa’s

It’s been two weeks since the latest round of L.A. fires started burning and homes, businesses and the LA Gay Men’s Choir are still flaming.

Indeed, there are many questions that require answers like, why were fire hydrants not working, why was the Palisades Reservoir dry for nearly a full year, and why in THE hell…before the fires, were 1 out of every 6 fire trucks in Los Angeles not operational, sitting in some holding yard broken down?

Why was the Mayor of L.A. out of the country when the fires started after she campaigned on the promise that if elected Mayor, she would NOT be making international trips? By the way, her trip to Ghana for an inauguration and cocktail party was either the 5^th, or 6^th international trip she’s taken as Mayor…on the dime of the L.A. taxpayers.

I also have a few questions for Gavin Newsom, such as…when you had four reservoirs removed to protect the Delta Smelt and some salmon, what did you do with the water from those reservoirs that was meant to protect people? Why did you cut the state “wildfire and forest resilience” budget by $101 million dollars? Did you really think it wasn’t necessary? And how did capping rates insurance companies could charge work out for the people who voted for you?

Newsom spent $23 BILLION on providing illegal aliens with everything they could think of, and those illegal aliens only contributed $8.5 billion to the California tax coffers. Hey Gavin…how do you think robbing from your constituents to provide for criminals who shouldn’t be here, and are obviously sponging off the earnings of those who work for a living is gonna look during the next election?

Newsom says he’s going to loosen up the red tape to make it easier for people to rebuild their homes and businesses. That’s good, but it also begs another question…hey Gavin…what was all that red tape for in the first place? I mean, if it’s not necessary now, why was it necessary before if not simply to bilk people out of money for unnecessary permits from the working class and create more government jobs for the bilking class?

And then, there’s this…

How in the hell is California going to clean up this mess?

I don’t mean clean up their politics…I mean how are they going to literally clean up all of the destruction and the debris?

From what we’ve been told, 12,000 homes and businesses have been reduced to ashes, and that’s probably a low estimate. Not only have those structures been destroyed, so too have all the contents of them, and that’s everything from people’s personal belongings to business equipment and inventory. It’s all gone for any practical purposes, but it is also all still there in the form of charred remnants and ash.

How about all the vehicles? Cars, trucks, busses, motorcycles, golf carts…and a good deal of that stuff is sitting in garages, on driveways or in the streets and on the roads…melted into puddles. How many electric cars, and their toxic batteries got burned to a crisp? How many charging stations, whether private or public became ashes?

We look at photos from the ground all around Los Angeles, and we look at drone photos of what used to be beautiful neighborhoods where people and families lived, buildings and malls where they worked and went shopping, grocery stores where their food came from and what’s left of parks and golf courses where they played and relaxed and what do we see today?

Devastation and destruction as far as the camera can see.

It’s a mess.

Somebody is going to have to clean all of that up and Serve Pro doesn’t stand a chance of making look like it never happened.

This is southern California. This is Los Angeles, home to Hollyweird celebrities who fly here, there and everywhere in their private jets in order to lecture the uneducated masses on the evils of climate change. California is ground zero for trying to tell the rest of us from sea to shining sea how to live our lives. California, the state that intends to ban all natural gas appliances soon, and has already mandated that all vehicles sold in the state be electric by 2035.

The way I see it, the Golden State has a Golden Opportunity here. Come on California…show us all how it should be done.

As the clean-up begins, I don’t want to see one single diesel powered bulldozer pushing debris into piles, and I don’t want to see a single diesel powered dump truck being filled up and hauling any of this disaster away. Break out the solar powered bulldozers, and the massive electric dump trucks. Oh, what’s that you say? All the local charging stations were reduced to piles of goo by the fires? You don’t HAVE electric dump trucks? The solar cells on the bulldozers aren’t efficient enough to get the job done?

So…you’re saying that you’re a bunch of hypocrites. What’s good for the goose that lost everything in the fires isn’t good for the ganders in charge on making the absurd mandates.

Obviously, roads, streets, water lines, sewer lines and the like are also going to need to be cleared away and rebuilt, so I want to see backhoes, trenchers and other heavy equipment necessary for such jobs with SAILS mounted to them…not a bunch of dirty old environmental death contraptions out there scraping, digging, and rebuilding things. And then there’s the cement.

Hey California…how are you fixed for cement or concrete production that’s run by hamsters on little wheels? Oh, by the way, getting all of that concrete from where the hamsters will be running up overtime to where it’s needed is going to require cement trucks, and not those smoke-belching diesel powered behemoths one might expect to see coming and going day and night…oh no…I expect to see nothing but greenie-weenie cement trucks that shoot unicorn farts and fairy dust from their stacks.

Also, any steel used in the rebuilding MUST come ONLY from 100% green energy steel manufacturers and that includes all the power poles that must be replaced because the only other option for such poles are what used to be trees, and California liberals aren’t into pole hugging unless they’re strippers.

Now then…correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems to me that a good number of those homes, and subsequently the debris from their destruction is on hillsides. The rest of it is either in the tops of hills, or the bottom of hills, and given the fact that the debris, or at least a bunch of it is toxic…how does the religion of climate change and green energy intend to clean that up? No pressure, but the rainy season will be upon SoCal before you know it, and now that all the vegetation in those area is gone, and gravity still being in full effect, what’s on the tops and sides of those hills will soon be at the bottom of them.

There’s also the nagging problem that while saving Smelt and salmon, the California brain-trust seems to have forgotten what happens to cream of toxic soup created by not having enough water, or doing enough forest management to mitigate potential destruction by wildfires…that chunky cream of toxic soup either runs into waterways, or soaks into the ground.

And finally…remember that member of the LAFD who was touting DEI and said that when people call for help, they’re more comfortable if somebody that looks like them shows up?

To be clear…NOBODY is calling 911 and telling the dispatcher,“MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE!! SEND ME A TRUCK FULL OF WHITE LESBIANS WHO IDENTIFY AS BLACK GAY MEN!!”

Well…I think the grounds in the midst of the devastation is toxic enough, so I don’t want to be seeing a bunch of men’s men doing all the work, and according to the woke and DEI infested LAFD, people will be more comfortable if the workers are just like them. Sooooo…only gay workers can clean up lots owned by gay people, only dudes in dresses can clean up lots owned by trans women, only women wearing jock straps can do the work on trans men’s properties. Skin color, or various shades of skin color also matters a great deal to these California lunitics so along with the proper matching pronouns…make damned sure that the clean-up crews are color coordinated to the land owners.

Despite California being what it is, HOA’s are what they are and I’m reasonably sure each destroyed neighborhood is REQUIRED to have ONE straight white couple with two or three kids who don’t look like the kids that don’t look like they came from the Angelina Jolie collection, like most kids in TV commercials, so make good and sure you get the right workers on those properties or there’s going to be hell to pay.

I understand that my demands here may seem nuttier than squirrel turds to some folks, but because all tax-paying Americans are on the hook for California’s ineptitude and nincompoopery, I say it’s time the bowl of granola leaders of California (what ain’t fruits and nuts are flakes) to put OUR money where THEIR mouths are and live their utopian dream. However, if what I propose just isn’t workable…I have another solution. Drop ALL of the DEI, woke and inane “climate change” BS and while common sense Americans fund the clean-up of Los Angeles, you California voters get rid of the LA Mayor and your idiotic Governor and start voting for Republicans to clean up the rest of your left coast mess.

What are you waiting for?

It’s time to start doin’ some California Cleanin’.
