Mad Max, as always, on the wrong side of the tracks. Which means she always takes the side of looters & moochers…
On Friday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) stated that she doesn’t want to get into politics about the fires in California, but “services cost money and we should be willing to get the richest people in this country, the richest 1% that is protected, make sure they pay their fair taxes so that we can have the money to provide the services. With that money and with those resources, the people who have been selected or elected to do the job should do the job.”
Waters began by saying, “I’m not into the blame game. I’m not into talking about whether or not Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is trying to protect himself and run for president, none of that.”
She added, “The first thing we’ve got to understand is, services cost money and we should be willing to get the richest people in this country, the richest 1% that is protected, make sure they pay their fair taxes so that we can have the money to provide the services. With that money and with those resources, the people who have been selected or elected to do the job should do the job. I don’t care who it is. It could be Democrat, it could be Republican, it could be whatever. But the fact of the matter is, we all should have heavy hearts right now, but we should have faith and we should be on point by making sure that we do everything to help the people that need us. Dammit, you can do the politics later. You can come and talk about Gavin Newsom later. You can talk about the Democrats later.”

Jaw-dropping incompetence and failed leadership. Democrat Party
Citizens are mobilizing quickly to remove radical extremist and incompetent Democrat Party @thedemocrats icon LA Mayor Karen Bass @mayorofla as the world looks in horror at her failed leadership. Los Angeles residents are demanding that Mayor Karen Bass (D) be immediately recalled as fires devastate their communities.
As of Saturday morning, their Change.org petition has 59,150 verified signatures.
@thedemocrats icon Gavin Newsom @gavinnewsom is a disgrace.
Putting illegal aliens first while screwing over American Citizens—THAT’s the Gavin Newsom way! California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) cut $100 million from the state’s fire prevention budget in 2024 before residents in the Los Angeles area were hit by wildfires, Newsweek reported.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) slashed almost $20 million from her city’s budget for fire services for the current fiscal year, Breitbart News reported on Wednesday. Newsweek‘s article, published on Friday, continued: The 2024-25 California state budget, which Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law in June 2024, slashed funding for wildfire and forest resilience by $101 million as part of a series of cutbacks according to an analysis by the state’s Legislative Analyst’s Office. However overall, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE)’s wildfire protection budget has increased sharply from $1.1 billion in 2014 to $3 billion in 2023, much of which took place after Newsom became governor in 2019. Speaking to Newsweek, a spokesperson for Newsom said that under the governor’s “leadership” the CAL FIRE budget had doubled from $2 billion in 2018-19 to $3.8 billion in 2024-25, whilst the department’s personnel went from 5,829 to 10,741 over the same period. On Friday, a citizen affected by the California wildfires, which have claimed the lives of 10 people, confronted Newsom and asked him what he was going to do about the disaster, Breitbart News reported. Watch the woman, identified as a lawyer named Rachel Darvish, continue asking Newsom what his plan is for the future: Meanwhile, actor-comedian Steve Byrne called out the state’s politicians, including Newsom and Bass, for their mishandling of the wildfires, Breitbart News reported on Thursday. “I believe the leadership from Gov Newsom, DWP, down to the Mayor will face incredibly steep repercussions for their lack of leadership and foresight. It’s criminal from a governing perspective and heartbreaking from a personal perspective,” he said.
