WILDFIRE!

So the "president" who two years AGO kindly informed us here in California that "there is no drought" now tells us (via tweet, how else?) that our devastating fires are being made worse by "bad environmental law which aren't allowing massive amounts of readily available water to be properly utilized. It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean." Perhaps the "president" has not heard of "rivers"? He adds this wisdom: "Must tree clear to stop fire spreading!"

Yes! We need to cut down those useless forests anyway, to sell the lumber!

This man's ignorance and arrogance are bad enough. Worse, almost, is the fact that our own "representative" in California's 48th District enables and supports him in his deaf ear to what science is screaming in its effort to convince us. As the huge and terrifying article that occupies the entire New York Times Sunday Magazine makes clear, it's past time to act.

All the more urgent reason to replace our current incumbent with a Democrat, who understands the science and thinks clearly on this issue.
