Facts or Fake
If you’re like most people (no we don’t stand in front of the mirror and pat ourselves on the back) as some suppose, the confirmation hearings bring out the real hypocrisy of democratic politicians.
Take for instance the fact that much of Los Angeles County, California is on fire or burned to the ground, is facing severe fire danger. There have been reports that initial fire crews coming out of Oregon were stopped at the border on I-5 because their fire trucks didn’t meet California EPA standards. Other reports say that enforcement of many EPA standards is being “paused” due to the fires.
Now I ask where are the priorities of California’s elected state and federal officials? How many elected officials have left their offices, rolled up their sleeves and pitched in to help the people of LA County who have literally lost everything?
Although Congress has a duty to “advise and consent” on these presidential nominations, do the “representatives” of the people of California not have a civic duty to assist and protect their constituents?
What I’m seeing is that California’s congressional democrats have placed all their eggs in one basket – derail Trump’s nominees. Some of the questions presented by these incompetent politicians are “do you believe that Trump lost the 2020 election”; “will your office remain political neutral”; “will you stand up to Trump” and other nonsensical questions.
California Governor Gavin Newsom is still spreading fake news about Trump looking out only for his MAGA base and threatening to withhold federal aid from California. So what has California done with the tax monies they have collected from California taxpayers and have gotten from the Biden administration? Have they actively conducted fire suppression and prevention in areas that are most likely to suffer fire damage? Have they repaired, replaced or constructed new reservoirs and tested water pressure in ALL AREAS of California to insure they can be used effectively against this current and/or future fires?
What has Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass done in her fair city since she has left office as a California Representative in Washington DC? Has she made her city safer or stronger? Has she taken care of her constituents or placed her emphasis on catering to the illegal and unlawful migrants flowing into her city? What has the LA City Council done to promote or impede law enforcement and firefighting efforts? Does cutting the budgets of first responders ring a bell?
California is emblematic of what has been happening in “Blue cities” and “Blue states” across our nation, deliberate and extreme mismanagement that has placed American citizens in harm’s way with fatalities.
The only real criterion for holding a political or elected office is “CITIZENSHIP OF THE USA”. What we see and must understand is that NOT EVERYONE who is qualified should ever be elected. Look at your elected officials and you will clearly see those who demonstrate their ability and aptitude to hold public service ahead of their own personal gain. – RTM
