The Democrats in charge of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) decided that it would be a great idea to take their critical firefighting equipment and GIFT IT to Ukraine, and now the entire nation is watching as their HORRIBLE decisions come back to haunt them.
Fast-moving wild fires have been ravaging the Los Angeles area for more than a week now and firefighters have been unable to contain the flames whatsoever thanks in part to lacking the necessary equipment and personnel to do so.
The personnel issues can be blamed on a decision by the city’s far-left mayor Karen Bass (D) to slash the LAFD’s budget by $17.6 million. But the equipment shortfalls are even more absurd considering that Democrat leaders in the state came up with the GENIUS plan to send their “extra” equipment to firefighters in Ukraine.
A story from March 2022 celebrates the fact that LAFD was sending planes full of “hoses, nozzles, turnouts, helmets, body armor and other personal protective gear” to Ukraine.
They didn’t just do this once, either. They flew numerous planes full of critical firefighting equipment to Ukraine and even went so far as to ship FIRETRUCKS to the eastern European nation – all on the taxpayers dime, of course.
Dems and other Ukraine loyalists would make the argument that this was all just “extra” but personally, I’m not buying it!
The fact that the Democrat leaders in the state chose to make sure UKRAINE had what they needed to fight fires before making sure that their own firefighters were well equipped to handle disasters like this should tell you everything you need to know about where their priorities lie – and it’s definitely not with the American people.
Sadly for the residents of LA, important firefighting equipment being shipped off to Ukraine is FAR from the only reason they can’t get a handle on the fires.
Mayor Karen Bass was across the world, in GHANA for a celebration as flames burned people’s homes to the ground in her city.
When confronted about this and many of her failed policies that contributed to this out-of-control disaster, Bass was left literally speechless and, eventually, decided to run away from a reporter who was asking her questions.
Liberals aren’t used to being asked hard questions or having to explain themselves.
'Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent whilst their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire department's budget?

On a state-level, the response has been just as bad, if not worse. President-Elect Donald Trump called out California’s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom in saying that his horrendous management of the state’s resources has made things MUCH worse.
“He is the blame for this,” Trump said. “On top of it all, no water for fire hydrants, not firefighting planes. A true disaster!” Trump added, referencing the fact that California’s fire hydrants have been running dry because Newsom and co were more worried about “protecting the environment” than they were guaranteeing these hydrants had access to water.
When Newsom was asked specifically about the water situation, he threw his hands up and shrugged while saying “local folks are gonna figure that out.”
What a guy! Leaving leadership to others is the embodiment of his entire political career.
COOPER: “What is the situation with the water? Palisades ran out last night.”

What’s happening in California right now is one of the saddest displays of Democrat incompetency that we will EVER see.
