(1) I survived a deadly #earthquake in 2011, so watching #hurricanes & other disasters has become a major interest of mine.

All I want is to help save lives & property.

The CA Democrats' reaction to their #wildfires crisis is very telling.

Many voters will #WalkAway.

(2) It's very simple to understand WHY California's #wildfires have worsened in the last 10 years or so.

Natural & plantation forests have been badly mismanaged. (Something we can change.)

Naturally occurring climate change is also a factor. (Something we can't change,)

(3) Democrats want you to ignore the factors we CAN change, such as the mismanagement of forests, & to focus on the factor we CAN'T change: The sun driving the cycle of warming & cooling that's gone on since the planet formed.

(4) The reason Dems focus on (naturally occurring) climate change is to fool you into backing policies that hamper America's economy. This helps China, which has been funding the Dems since the dirty deals done by Bill Clinton in the mid 1990s. It also helps global socialism.

(5) Global socialism (or, globalism) helps Iran, the Palestinians, China, Russia, Germany, France, and in particular, left wing political parties everywhere.

Globalism is allied with socialism/communism AND radical Islamic extremism.

AKA #IslamicNationalSocialism.

(6) That's the big picture. The small picture is that rn, 28,000 firefighters and soldiers are trying to battle the biggest wildfires complex in California's history.

About 9 people have already died, incl firecrew. Wildfires like this always kill.

I want to save lives.

(7) If landowners had been able to manage forests according to #science & rational evidence-based approaches generally, the current wildfires would have been greatly reduced in size and impact.

Wildfires can start without humans, eg by lightning strikes, sunlight refraction.

(8) Arson starts some of the fires, & we can never prevent every instance of arson.

The biggest issue with wildfires is the amount of available tree & brush fuel once the weather gets dry, hot & windy each year.

Fuel can be removed. It's economically viable to do so.

(9) Aside from the loss of life, the economic impact of extreme-sized wildfires affects the whole state & indeed the whole country. Insurance premiums skyrocket. Cost, rebuild delays & uncertainty crush the economy.

Losses are compounded when floods hit fire-damaged land.

(10) So it is extremely cost effective for landowners and taxpayers to fund the reduction of fuel available for wildfires. Studies will have been done, showing the high rate of return on investment.

I can never convince Dems to change their policy on fuel reduction, though.

(11) IMO the Democrats are too far gone when it comes to accepting that climate change is naturally occurring and that forests must be better managed to reduce fuel for wildfires.

They must be voted out of office so that #science can guide forest management again.

(12) When I hear of deaths caused by earthquakes I am extremely saddened & I spend time analyzing what can be changed to save lives in the future.

When I hear of deaths caused by CA wildfires I am just as saddened. But (for now) I stop there and...

(13) I have learned not to spend a lot of time following these events in detail because it provokes such righteous anger in me. Unlike the Left, I choose to manage my emotions & take care of my mental health so I can remain functional & contribute to my community.

(14) I've written many times about how to mitigate the loss of life & property from CA's wildfires.

Nothing will change until Democrats have been removed from power in CA.

More people will die preventable deaths. Accepting that is hard to do. It makes me angry.

(15) That's why I was extremely pleased to see President Trump tweet about the issue 3 times so far this week, with supportive tweets from Secretary Zinke, Rep Devin Nunes, and many others who have been saying the same as me, for many years now.

Democrats responded in two ways.

(16) Democrats accused Republicans of raising the issue in order to facilitate favorable business outcomes for affected corporations. They also claimed that climate change is affected by fossil fuel use.

Both claims are unsupportable by evidence, but that's nothing new is it?

(17) You don't even need to address the Democrat talking points, it's possible to simply explain the what, why & how of forest mismanagement & water supply, which shows any rational person what is really going on.

Rational people are willing to listen. TDS sufferers aren't.

(18) So, thank you President Trump (I say that every day anyway) for giving a Presidential signal boost to #science & what we already know about wildfire mitigation. Those willing to be rational will learn from it.

#WalkAway #DefyHistory #MAGA
