LA & Hollywood Hills Burns In Arson Attacks As Mayor Stares Into Stupor Abyss

It is said that people get the government they vote for. Congratulations Los Angeles voters, you did a bang-up job electing this thing as Mayor.

Sky News Reporter David Blevins happened to be on a Flight to Los Angeles when he ran into Mayor Karen Bass who was returning from her trip to Ghana while Los Angeles burned from Wildfires. He utterly skewered her with simple, direct questions, The Mayor stood completely silent, unable to answer ANY of them!

Apparently, Mayor Karen Bass is what is commonly referred to as an "NPC" - a Non-Playable-Character.

It's a term from video games which describes an aspect of the game wherein the player encounters a thing that cannot be interacted with, cannot be reasoned with, cannot think. Instead, the thing merely does whatever it's program tells it to do.

Mayor Bass apparently had no programming to answer the Reporter's questions. Whoever wrote or controls her mental program, apparently didn't provide enough processing power for Bass to answer impromptu questions or even change her facial expression. Since she had no pre-written/programmed script, she seemed unable to interact or respond.

How is it the Mayor couldn't say something like: "I've just gotten back and have to be briefed on the situation, I will speak with the Press later today." or "My heart is broken over what's happening, I feel so terrible and will be helping as much as I can now that I'm back."

Instead, the Mayor said NOTHING. Apparently, her little mind could not cope with being asked questions that she had not been programmed to respond to. In fact, her mind seemed unable to even change her facial expression!

How did Voters in Los Angeles choose this to be Mayor? Or are the Voters in Los Angeles as empty headed as their Mayor seemed to be? That would explain a lot.

For instance, it might explain how Mayor Bass CUT the budget of the Los Angeles Fire Department by a reported $17.9 MILLION just this past September!

It may also explain how Los Angeles and specifically Pacific Palisades, situated literally on the coastline of the Pacific Ocean, found themselves running out of water. How do you run out of water for fire fighting when you've got the largest Ocean on earth 200 feet away?

No Diesel-powered pumps to draft water from the sea? The typical fire engine can pump about 1500 gallons per minute!

Hollywood's biggest celebrities are picking up the pieces after discovering their affluent neighborhood was reduced to ash and rubble when the California wildfires tore though Pacific Palisades.

The homes of Anthony Hopkins, John Goodman and Miles Teller among those destroyed, while dozens of other Hollywood movie and TV stars now face an anxious wait alongside their neighbors to learn if anything could be saved.

Residents fled and then waited with bated breath to learn more about their homes, as news began trickling out that entire streets had been wiped off the map, firefighters were running out of water, and resources were being diverted to fight the fire on multiple fronts.

Now, the widespread devastation is becoming clearer as celebrities share their devastation upon discovering they've lost their multi-million-dollar mansions.

Not one word from LA Mayor Karen Bass about the situation.

“Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent whilst their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire department's budget?”

Every year, it’s the same story. California burns, and fingers are pointed in every direction, climate, drought, winds. But let’s stop dancing around the real issue: forest management (or lack thereof).

For decades, California’s approach has been one of neglect. Overgrown brush, dead trees, and poor preventative measures are essentially tinder waiting for a spark. Add to that bureaucratic red tape that makes proper clearing and controlled burns almost impossible, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.

You see folks, bad policy can have very awful consequences! Bad leadership can get people hurt and killed! The voters of California are learning this today….. THE HARD WAY.

Not one word from LA Mayor Karen Bass about the situation. Many call for her to be recalled immediately for slashing the fire fighter budgets and lack of leadership.

Fire Chief complained to the LA Mayor last month about budget cuts limiting her dept. The funds were diverted to help aid illegal migration policy.

L.A. Fire Chief Kristin Crowley warned Mayor Karen Bass (D) last month the $17+ million she cut from the department's budget "severely limited the department's capacity to prepare for, train for, and respond to large-scale emergencies, including wildfires"

“So here's what's going to happen. All these people who are deep blue Democrats are now going to have to pull a permit to rebuild, and they're going to get the 28 year old bitch from the Coastal Commission telling them to go fuck off and then they're going to vote for Trump or whoever's Trumpian next.

When they start getting the regulation, they're going to go nuts. And when they start running into the bureaucracy and the red tape, they're going to start going nuts and they're going to vote for Rick Caruso next time.

They're going to find out they're going to get bit by their own snake. They're going to convert. I am telling you, these are the bluest people on the planet and they're going to be fucking rip shit pissed when the City and the Coastal Commission tell them to fuck off.”

JUST IN: Arsonists caught on camera setting fires in Santa Monica…

https://revolver.news/2025/01/just-in-arsonists-caught-on-camera-setting-fires-in-santa-monica/

Mismanagement and corruption, on steroids.

The Los Angeles wildfires were orchestrated by the globalist elite to poison the air, water and soil, and redistribute property into the hands of a few corrupt oligarchs.

The despotic global "elite" have chosen Los Angeles as Ground Zero for a calculated assault on the people, paving the way for the rapid transformation of the disaster zone into 15-minute cities. These so-called “smart cities” are nothing more than vast outdoor prisons, designed to trap ordinary citizens with no way out.

This evil plan has been in the works for years, and now we are seeing it play out in all its grisly details before our very eyes.

Now the land grab begins – and the despotic criminal scumbags, led by WEF partners Blackrock and Vanguard, are leading the charge to acquire the land and begin building new 15-minute cities.

In the months ahead, land owned by families for generations will be ripped away from them, stolen right from beneath their charred homes. And to add insult to injury, FEMA will offer them $70 as compensation.

The criminals are brazen. They are not even trying to pretend this wasn’t a giant set up.

Governor Newsom blocked the release of vital water from mountain reservoirs, depriving firefighters of a critical resource. For over two decades, Democrats have refused to maintain fire mitigation systems or clear brush from high-risk areas, allowing these tinderboxes to grow unchecked.

Meanwhile, the Biden regime just imposed a no-fly zone over LA, grounding state and local firefighting aircraft in the midst of the inferno.

Adding insult to injury, LA’s newly appointed DEI-focused fire chief openly stated her priority was enforcing diversity quotas — not fighting fires or managing disasters. This same chief supported slashing $17.5 million from the fire department’s budget.

Where is Mayor Karen Bass, you ask? She was in Ghana on a tax-payer funded junket while her city burned, refusing to address the crisis or even acknowledge the displaced victims upon her return.

To top it off, the LA City Council has spent the last two years diverting a significant portion of the firefighting budget — and even equipment — to Ukraine, leaving their own city woefully unprepared for this disaster.

Of course, Gavin Newsom has wasted no time blaming climate change, a more than convenient narrative for his Commiefornia government.

Just like before 9/11, major insurance companies seemed to know exactly what was coming, perfectly aligning their plans and pulling policies just before the fires devastated Los Angeles.

Insurance companies have now admitted to canceling fire policies on hundreds of thousands of homes in the Los Angeles area over the past few months, leaving countless families vulnerable and unprotected.

This isn’t negligence, it’s a betrayal. And according to a WEF insider, its all by design and there is much worse to come.

https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/wef-insider-reveals-la-wildfires-were-engineered-to-seize-land-for-15-minute-cities/

There are a number of specific lessons we can draw from the Los Angeles fires, but the over-arching one is that Democrats are no longer capable of governing. Let's look at some of the specific lessons first, and then let Bernie Sanders demonstrate why he and his party should never be put in charge of anything again.

Lesson #1: In matters of life and death decision making, hire based solely on merit… not Marxist DEI fantasy politics.'''

The Los Angeles City Fire Department has an entire "equity" bureau which hopes to "advance DEI within the fire service." Last year, LAFD cut $7 million from the overtime budget, which impacted air operations and disaster response, but kept the DEI department. Insane.

— Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) January 9, 2025

Lesson #2: If you are the mayor of Los Angeles, don't go to Africa when you have been warned that your city is at risk of disaster.

Details and timeline here… https://twitter.com/lhfang/status/1877441609748390329

Lesson #3: Elect people based on experience and competency, not Marxist DEI gender/race non-sense. It's worth noting that conservatives fall prey to this thinking too, sometimes.

Maybe someone with administrative experience would be better than a political commentator.

Lesson #4: Especially if you are in an arid climate, fill your reservoirs when you have the opportunity.

1. Gavin Newsom diverts 100 billion gallons of water per year away from Southern California and instead dumps it into the Pacific ocean to save delta smelt fish.

1. Newsom has failed to build reservoirs as required by law.

https://twitter.com/JunkScience/status/1877333371950362707

Lesson #5: Again, especially if you are in an arid climate, clear underbrush in your forests (often, the most practical way to do this is with controlled burns, burning off the kindling before it piles up).

"You've got to take care of the floors." Trump told Newsom years ago to clear out underbrush to prevent fires.

Lesson #6: Enforce laws against vagrancy. There are many reasons to do this, starting with making cities more pleasant, but there's also a safety factor, as bums often set fires.

California fires, often started by mentally ill vagrants, rage because of Democrat policies that restricted forest management and water storage and specifically cut funding for fire departments. But, sure, more top down control by the idiots who created this is the solution. For every problem, leftists propose the least effective solutions.

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2025-01-10/lesson-los-angeles-fires

During the George Floyd “Summer of Love” antifa and Black Lives Matter marched through Windsor Farms, no doubt to protest against “nice stuff,” preferring everyone to live in graffiti ridden squalor as a measurement of social justice fairness. I wrote at the time that if any of these Georgian mansions were given to any of these neo-Marxist protestors, within 6 months all the windows in the house would be busted out, there would be broken glass and 3-foot-high grass in the front yard, and the mechanical systems would all be trashed. The same is true with a city. Give these types of people the keys to any city and in short order, the city, just like the free house, will be destroyed. They are incapable of taking care of anything.

Here in Richmond, we just went through nearly 3 days with no municipal water. Now, we have to go through 2-3 days of not being allowed to drink the water coming from our taps. Several hundred thousand people in a major metropolitan area with hospitals, manufacturing plants, universities, nursing homes, and millions of square feet of office space had no water. It’s third world. Our race hustling, low IQ Marxist mayor hired a DEI candidate to run the Department of Utilities, the first time ever a non-engineer held that post. Her major initiative was hiring other DEI candidates to work for Public Utilities. Incompetent boobs, hire other incompetent boobs and before you know it, there are more boobs than the runway at the Bada-Bing.

Los Angeles is burning down. The government incompetence there is extraordinary. LA has its own DEI problems. Its fire chief was hired because she is an outspoken lesbian. Her initiative has been to hire more women and LGBTQ firefighters. Yep, I want a 99 lb mentally ill woman who thinks she’s man pulling me out of a burning fire! Who wouldn’t?

As bad as DEI is, what’s worse is the political class that initiates DEI policies. There should never ever be any reason to vote anybody into office that has not had a career in real world practicalities. Community activists, academics, government apparatchiks, non-profit do-gooders, clinicians, blah, blah, they generally know nothing other than the au courant platitudes of the bougie Bolshevik chattering class. In Richmond, 8 of our 9 council members are women, and the one man is a soy boy. Have any of these folks ever crawled under a house to fix a leaky pipe, changed the oil in a car, operated earth moving equipment or walked a police officer’s beat at 2 am in the morning? Have any of them started a business from the ground up and hired and fired dozens of employees? No.

Hundreds of Los Angeles Fire Trucks, Ambulances, Rescue Vehicles Sitting in LAFD Repair Yard, UNREPAIRED

With the outbreak of wildfires plaguing Los Angeles, many people are asking why the city/county does not seem to have the resources to fight them. Turns out, HUNDREDS of fire engines, Hook & Ladder Trucks, Ambulances, and other emergency vehicles, are sitting unrepaired in a big parking lot.

This week, a Journalist went to the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Bureau of Supply and Maintenance, to see how many fire trucks are sitting there, broken, waiting for repair. There are no words to describe what he video recorded.

Literally HUNDREDS of emergency vehicles, many of them Fire Engines, many others Hook & Ladder Trucks, are all just sitting…. waiting to be repaired. Millions of dollars worth of equipment meant to save lives and property, sidelined, unusable, helping no one. Seems like everyone involved in LA & CA state government does their job poorly and no one cares.

In fact, LAFD Chief Crowley testified some time ago that roughly 20% of LAFD’s fleet was out of service. In recent remarks, she said the $17M+ budget cut caused the department to lose civilian mechanics who repaired its out-of-service vehicles. That Budget cut took place in September, 2024 under Mayor Karen Bass.

LAFD Chief Crowley is reportedly a Lesbian, a "DEI" hire. "Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity." According to multiple sources inside the LAFD, the Chief has been relentless in pushing her DEI agenda. Apparently, repairing broken-down fire trucks is not as big a priority as DEI.

It gets worse. In the news conference, the LAFD chief stated they had 100 rigs out of service.

The entire LAFD fleet is only ~185 trucks/engines. So over half their fleet was down at the time of the fire. And if they are running without mechanics due to budget cuts, those numbers will get worse as the lack of maintenance breaks more rigs.

Fire Chief also said they had to cut Mechanic’s when they cut $17+ million from the budget. She went on to say there’s over 100 trucks waiting for repair. That's more than HALF of the Los Angeles Fire Department apparatus!

Commiefornia Keeps On Burning Away As Major Lithium Battery Storage Ignites

Wow, does bad policy and corrupt leadership have some horrific consequences or what?!

Years after cutting fire fighter department budgets, allocating water municipality management to preach Marxist DEI ideologies to public workers, diverting large water reservoirs into the Pacific ocean, refusing to allow loggers to clear up decades worth of abundant dead wood in the forests, and ignoring the constant warnings from public safety workers about the potential for wildfire disasters…. well now that communist shithole State is burning down and it looks like there is no end in sight anytime soon!

If the government's raging wildfires across Los Angeles County weren't enough, Commiefornia faced another crisis overnight as one of the world's largest battery storage facilities, situated about 100 miles south of San Francisco, caught fire, triggering area-wide evacuations.

AP News reported that a fire broke out Thursday at the Moss Landing Power Plant, a natural gas-fired generation plant with thousands of lithium batteries for energy storage. Fires involving lithium batteries, as seen with electric vehicles, are notoriously difficult to extinguish and could burn uncontrollably for days.

"There's no way to sugarcoat it. This is a disaster, is what it is," Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church told local media outlet KSBW-TV. However, Church did not expect the fire to spread outside the perimeter of the plant.

Local media outlet The Mercury News noted that fires at the Vistra plant, which Vistra Energy owns, and one of the largest battery storage facilities in the world boasting a capacity of 750 megawatts and 3,000 megawatt-hours, experienced fires in 2021 and 2022. The energy storage facility plays a massive role in stabilizing California's power grid.

It's unclear at this point what started the fire. Local authorities evacuated more than 2,000 people around the plant due to concerns over hazardous materials and potential chemical releases.

There's no update yet on the current grid impacts or how operations at the Moss Landing Power Plant are affected. It's another setback for Democrats in their push for a 'green' utopia in a state that seems to be imploding by the week. Well, the communists did get what they voted for at least.

This corruption must stop. Mandate and enforce State and local fire safety laws…. federally!

There are a number of specific lessons we can draw from the Los Angeles fires, but the over-arching one is that Democrats are no longer capable of governing. Let's look at some of the specific lessons first, and then let Bernie Sanders demonstrate why he and his party should never be put in charge of anything again.

Lesson #1: In matters of life and death decision making, hire based solely on merit… not Marxist DEI fantasy politics.'''

The Los Angeles City Fire Department has an entire "equity" bureau which hopes to "advance DEI within the fire service." Last year, LAFD cut $7 million from the overtime budget, which impacted air operations and disaster response, but kept the DEI department. Insane.

Lesson #2: If you are the mayor of Los Angeles, don't go to Africa when you have been warned that your city is at risk of disaster.

Details and timeline here… https://twitter.com/lhfang/status/1877441609748390329

Lesson #3: Elect people based on experience and competency, not Marxist DEI gender/race non-sense. It's worth noting that conservatives fall prey to this thinking too, sometimes.

Maybe someone with administrative experience would be better than a political commentator.

Lesson #4: Especially if you are in an arid climate, fill your reservoirs when you have the opportunity.

1. Gavin Newsom diverts 100 billion gallons of water per year away from Southern California and instead dumps it into the Pacific ocean to save delta smelt fish.

1. Newsom has failed to build reservoirs as required by law.

https://twitter.com/JunkScience/status/1877333371950362707

Lesson #5: Again, especially if you are in an arid climate, clear underbrush in your forests (often, the most practical way to do this is with controlled burns, burning off the kindling before it piles up).

"You've got to take care of the floors." Trump told Newsom years ago to clear out underbrush to prevent fires.

Lesson #6: Enforce laws against vagrancy. There are many reasons to do this, starting with making cities more pleasant, but there's also a safety factor, as bums often set fires.

California fires, often started by mentally ill vagrants, rage because of Democrat policies that restricted forest management and water storage and specifically cut funding for fire departments. But, sure, more top down control by the idiots who created this is the solution. For every problem, leftists propose the least effective solutions.

L.A. Fire Chief Kristin Crowley warned Mayor Karen Bass (D) last month the $17+ million she cut from the department's budget "severely limited the department's capacity to prepare for, train for, and respond to large-scale emergencies, including wildfires"

https://x.com/RealSaavedra/status/1877184214296068346

“So here's what's going to happen. All these people who are deep blue Democrats are now going to have to pull a permit to rebuild, and they're going to get the 28 year old bitch from the Coastal Commission telling them to go fuck off and then they're going to vote for Trump or whoever's Trumpian next.

When they start getting the regulation, they're going to go nuts. And when they start running into the bureaucracy and the red tape, they're going to start going nuts and they're going to vote for Rick Caruso next time.

They're going to find out they're going to get bit by their own snake. They're going to convert. I am telling you, these are the bluest people on the planet and they're going to be fucking rip shit pissed when the City and the Coastal Commission tell them to fuck off.”

Commiefornia Keeps On Burning Away As Major Lithium Battery Storage Ignites

Wow, does bad policy and corrupt leadership have some horrific consequences or what?!

Years after cutting fire fighter department budgets, allocating water municipality management to preach Marxist DEI ideologies to public workers, diverting large water reservoirs into the Pacific ocean, refusing to allow loggers to clear up decades worth of abundant dead wood in the forests, and ignoring the constant warnings from public safety workers about the potential for wildfire disasters…. well now that communist shithole State is burning down and it looks like there is no end in sight anytime soon!

If the government's raging wildfires across Los Angeles County weren't enough, Commiefornia faced another crisis overnight as one of the world's largest battery storage facilities, situated about 100 miles south of San Francisco, caught fire, triggering area-wide evacuations.

AP News reported that a fire broke out Thursday at the Moss Landing Power Plant, a natural gas-fired generation plant with thousands of lithium batteries for energy storage. Fires involving lithium batteries, as seen with electric vehicles, are notoriously difficult to extinguish and could burn uncontrollably for days.

"There's no way to sugarcoat it. This is a disaster, is what it is," Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church told local media outlet KSBW-TV. However, Church did not expect the fire to spread outside the perimeter of the plant.

Local media outlet The Mercury News noted that fires at the Vistra plant, which Vistra Energy owns, and one of the largest battery storage facilities in the world boasting a capacity of 750 megawatts and 3,000 megawatt-hours, experienced fires in 2021 and 2022. The energy storage facility plays a massive role in stabilizing California's power grid.

It's unclear at this point what started the fire. Local authorities evacuated more than 2,000 people around the plant due to concerns over hazardous materials and potential chemical releases.

There's no update yet on the current grid impacts or how operations at the Moss Landing Power Plant are affected. It's another setback for Democrats in their push for a 'green' utopia in a state that seems to be imploding by the week. Well, the communists did get what they voted for at least.

Watch: Trump Destroys LA Mayor To Her Face During Wild Press Conference Spat

"But the people are willing to clean out their own debris! It doesn’t cost a lot."

"You should let them do it. Because by the time you hire contractors, it’s going to be two years. People are willing to get a dumpster and do it themselves and clean it out. There’s not that much left. It’s all incinerated, and you know, it’s just going to take a long time if you do [it]."

According to Trump, homeowners don't want to "wait around for seven months till the city hires some demolition contract that’s going to charge $25,000."

ONCE AGAIN, COMMIE BUREAUCRACY STANDS IN THE WAY.

Praise Jesus! Thank You, Lord, You made it possible!

"The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. The days of putting a Fake Environmental argument, over the PEOPLE, are OVER. Enjoy the water, California!!!"

GLOBAL REALITIES AND THREATS OF 2025 - 2030:

1) The economic damage done to America over the last decade has been extreme. Due to massive national debt insolvency, horrible economic policies, horrible foreign policies, wasteful governmental spending, a corrupt incompetent and bloated bureaucracy the American economy will take many years to recover. Hopefully under a new Trump administration they can boost energy production, bring down energy prices, reduce bureaucracy, lower interest rates for credit card debt and loans, lower taxes and give incentive to produce more here. In the meantime inflation is here to stay, be prepared.

2) Corrupt suicidal European governments want a major war with Russia badly. Europe is NOT a place you will wish to have your money in or to invest heavily into. European governments absolutely refuse to give up on project Ukraine. The coming war between Europe and Russia will happen, and when it does it will be lights out for most of Europe, with an economic collapse, martial law and harsh austerity measures that include the seizure of assets, bank accounts, pension funds and savings, combined with social unrest from new conscription laws and nullification of any freedom or individual activities. GET OUT OF EUROPE: physically and financially.

3) America, China and India will become the biggest safe havens during the Europe-Russian war. China and India will not become directly involved with this coming war. Americans, for the most part, are dead against being dragged into conflict to save Europe's corrupt asses. Trump is not likely to come to the rescue of assholes who are currently running Europe, it would be both extremely unpopular and face large popular resistance and be political suicide for Trump's administration. Trump will likely tell Europe if they wish to commit suicide they do it on their own terms, not at the expense of America. America will be a safe haven, simply be prepared to hunker down comfy at home, refuse to be involved with the war and pop some popcorn for the future destruction of Russia, Ukraine AND Europe.

4) The goal hegemony of the WEF/Davos "elites" is crumbling. These are dangerous times. You, as an American, will be able to survive if you understand your government has become largely corrupted and subverted and these people HATE US. These people see us as "useless eaters" and will do everything they can to further destabilize the country. Be prepared, have a stockup of basic essentials at home, have a generator with extra fuel, some deep cycle 12V batteries and a couple 1,000W power inverters, have a wood burning stove or fireplace for winter, extra socks/shoes/boots/clothing, have some extra long-term food storage, have a source for clean water or a rain water collection & water filtering system (if you have well water have an extra well pump), firearms/ammunition to defend yourselves and family, do research other preparedness tips on Youtube and Rumble. Stay away from riots and protests when things get nasty and be prepared to hunker down at any time necessary.

5) Listen to what Martin Armstrong; an economist with a straight record of being correct; has to say about the times ahead. Here is his latest interview on USA Watchdog with Greg Hunter:

Musk Calls Out Mayor Bass Land Grab Scheme, Warns She Must Be Recalled

Communist/Globalist-run cities across America continue their steady march toward disaster, trampling constitutional rights and destroying the very foundations of private property ownership.

From Seattle to Denver to Chicago to New York, radical left mayors have transformed once-prosperous metropolitan areas into monuments to failed socialist policies.

Nowhere is this assault on American values more evident than in California, where decades of leftist governance have turned the Golden State into a cautionary tale.

The mass exodus of job creators and taxpayers tells a story that even the mainstream media cannot ignore — one that President Trump warned about during his successful presidency.

While successful conservative states flourish with free-market solutions, LA’s leadership seems determined to accelerate its downward spiral with each new socialist-inspired policy.

Tech billionaire and former California resident Elon Musk has had enough. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chairman issued a stark warning Wednesday, demanding the immediate recall of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass over her handling of recent fires and a controversial rebuilding plan.

From ‘X’:

The mayor of LA is going full communist.

Recall her before it is too late.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 29, 2025

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1884752000518181357

Musk’s dramatic intervention comes in response to Bass’s latest power grab — a plan to hire an “outside consultant” to oversee the rebuilding of fire-damaged areas without property owner authorization.

Patriotic property owners in the affected areas were blindsided by the announcement. The plan, spearheaded by Bass and developer Steve Soboroff, represents an unprecedented intervention in private property rights guaranteed by our Constitution.

Cost of Living In The Commiefornia Hellscape Is About To Go Way Up

RELATED: >>>/pnd/396388

After saying it would run out of funds by March, California’s last-resort fire insurance provider will impose a special charge of $1 billion on insurance companies — which will in turn pass the costs along to homeowners — the first such move in more than three decades.

The state Insurance Department today approved a request from the provider, the FAIR Plan, to impose the charge and ensure it stays solvent as it covers claims from victims of the Los Angeles County fires, the department said in an order by Commissioner Ricardo Lara.

Most California home and fire insurance customers will likely see temporary fees added to their insurance bills as part of the charge, known as an assessment — marking the first time insurance companies will have imposed an assessment directly on customers.

The FAIR Plan is a pool of insurers required by law to provide fire insurance to property owners who can’t find insurance elsewhere. Its customer base has grown dramatically in the past several years as insurance companies have increasingly refused to write or renew policies in the state, citing increased risk of systemic corruption, lack of forest management, the cutting of fire department funding and the consequences that stem from insane dangerous radical policy.

Many LA fire victims have insurance through the FAIR Plan. Residents of the Pacific Palisades, where thousands of structures burned last month, held 85% more FAIR Plan policies in September than they had a year prior.

Under new regulations that took effect this year as part of Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara’s effort to address the growing difficulty of finding property insurance in California, insurance customers will now have to shoulder 50% of any assessment through a temporary fee added to their premiums. Before the new rules went into effect, the plan would have gotten all the additional funds directly from its member companies, which would have then tried to recoup that money by raising premiums.

Leave it to a State run by a Democrat majority. They ruin everything they take control over.
