Governor Newsom (who once was Nancy Pelosi’s distant nephew through marriage) proves the apple doesn’t fall from the tree of corruption.

To the folks in California, my heart goes out to you and your recent losses due to the incompetence of Newsom and the L.A. mayor for the devastation of a great state. Yet, those two imbeciles blame Trump and take no responsibility whatsoever.

If the tree huggers would allow prescribed burns like most other states do, this catastrophe would never have happened.

As a retired former insurance adjuster, I was a part of investigations on malfeasance like this and helped victims recover most of what they lost.

Newsom and Bass should be on the hook for the losses with no questions asked.

Thankfully we are headed to a new era of democracy under Pres Trump. I predict that our lives will be better off and that true justice will be carried out under him.
