The City of Angels is ablaze, and the irony couldn’t be more striking. LA burning to the ground has accomplished something rare: it’s turned the national spotlight on the absurdity of Leftist governance.
Let’s take stock of the players in this tragedy. At the top, we have a governor who could be the poster child for style over substance. Gavin Newsom is the guy you’d hire to play “concerned politician” in a Netflix series, not someone you’d trust to lead in an actual crisis. His brand? Smug photo-ops and buzzword-riddled speeches. Substance? Nonexistent.
And at the local level, it somehow gets worse. The leadership of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) reads like a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) experiment gone terribly wrong. The hiring and promotion process is more about checking identity boxes than finding people qualified to combat real-world disasters.
Then there’s the cause of the fires. Initially blamed on global climate change, the narrative quickly unraveled. Authorities discovered a literal flamethrower in the hands of a deranged individual—one who, I might add, seemed more like a walking caricature of Leftist dysfunction than the embodiment of any conservative boogeyman. Five cell phones? A United Nations calling card? If the Devil had a child, they’d look like this guy, complete with chaos as their middle name.

He did “have gas in a white jug.”

So yes, climate change has a face, and it’s a human being—though perhaps we should check which pronouns the arsonist prefers before proceeding further.
Democrats and the Politics of Chaos
Newsom wasted no time blaming climate change for the fires. Think about that for a moment: one of the most catastrophic fires in recent history was weaponized to perpetuate the climate change narrative. Yet the truth revealed that it was the work of one of Newsom’s own citizens, not some freak weather phenomenon.
It’s a pattern, isn’t it? Democrats thrive on chaos. If chaos doesn’t exist, they manufacture it. Where chaos already exists, they stoke the flames—sometimes literally. This isn’t hyperbole; it’s a playbook.
Meanwhile, conservatives—especially MAGA conservatives—are problem solvers. We work to uphold the Constitution’s promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Democrats, on the other hand, torch the framework, then sell you on the lie that their arsonist tendencies are somehow virtuous.
Another Conspiracy Confirmed
Once again, what started as a wild conspiracy theory has been confirmed: Democrats are responsible for the fires. Whether by arsonist proxy or through failed policies that allow such lunatics to thrive, the result is the same—destruction disguised as progress.
In a particularly sardonic twist, local authorities describe the culprit as a “savvy arsonist” familiar with wind patterns and fire science, targeting affluent areas. So much for the climate change fairy tale. Turns out, it’s plain old arson—strategic, methodical, and painfully human.
When your neighborhood HOA newsletter contains more actionable intelligence than your elected officials, maybe it’s time to admit we have a problem. And it’s not climate change. It’s leadership—or rather, the lack thereof.
To showcase the real insanity of Leftism, even acts of kindness must be investigated by the California Gestapo:

This California city wanted to make sure it got tax revenue and perhaps a license fee if this man had been selling hot dogs to beleaguered firefighters.
California politicians need to reset their priorities. Because they couldn’t be more out of touch.
