Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

The fires are still going out here in Los Angeles and new ones are emerging tonight, the Sunset fire and now a fire in Studio City, the air smells of fire and smoke, and the only thing worse is the inept local leadership.
And the level of ineptitude is truly mindblowing.
I wrote an article and a Twitter thread on the wokeness in the LAFD. The article has yet to run, but the Twitter thread offers a sample of the insanity. Wokeness and DEI led to four lesbians, 3 of them named some variation of Kirstin, running one of the nation’s largest fire departments.
The LAFD is very diverse. It’s run by lesbians named Kristin
(not that there’s anything wrong with it)
Meet the team

I ended by writing that, “the old Los Angeles Fire Department was not diverse It was run by white men It’s now run by lesbians named Kirsten The LAFD is much worse at fighting fires, but at least it asks the fires for their pronouns first.”
The Twitter thread has taken off with around half a million views so far. Among those retweeting it was TPUSA’s Charlie Kirk.
Stop it.
Is this a joke? https://t.co/4fYqGX7wEN

Elon Musk responded with a “clown world” emoji. And really, how can you say it any better than that?
Larry says
Think about the fact that lesbians make up approximately 3% of 51% of the population and you end up with no less than 4 of them at the top of one organisation.
world@70 says
Someone is sure doing one heck of a sales job for the alternate lifestyle folks in LA.
I heard a report early this morning warning people to boil water before using. The reporter was quick enough to point out that there was no gas and no electricity to boil the water they also didn’t have.
Beverly says
Actually, it was 0.5% back in the 1980s, before homosexuality became the newest fad.
Rob A says
LA isn’t the only city that the alphabet mafia controls. And it’s not so much a fad as it is a pseudo-religious movement that is sweeping the country. Accept the alphabet mafia and their religion or you’ll be labeled a heretic and treated as such. Resistance is futile.
stephan morrow says
Right. just looking at them – It is like some kind of a collection of sexless or neutered bodies from another planet. But it certainly makes sense when you have a mayor like Karen Bass. I’m sorry it just seems like we’ve been replaced by some new kind of creature neither male or female but just a bizarro world of these creatures. What used to be women have now regurgitated their perceived vision of males’ oppression to become neither one not the other. The Chinese as usual must be laughing up their sleeves. (and waiting). America Awake! If we don’t wake up from this version of Alice’s rabbit hole then we’re lost. Face it.

Kevin Kilty says
Think of it as a rainbow swan event.
John Eddy says
Yeah, different shades of black.
Arty says
I’m sure they were the most qualified for the job. Better add an extra sarc tag /s/s
Rob A says
Surely you jest!!
CTripps says
LGBTQ is the primary qualification in military and DOD merit ranking. They are mandated to pick from a list of the best qualifying LGBTQ candidates.
Wait until the troops engage in actual combat.
Trump is inheriting this Clown World.
Mellie says
We’re already in combat. Their destructive behaviors are part of the ammunition they’re deliberately using against us to finally bring down our country to their evil, Luciferian level.
Jeff Bargholz says
I hate American lesbians. They’re always so ugly and misandrist.
I have lesbian friends in Indonesia and the Philippines and they’re attractive and don’t hate men.
There’s a black lesbian here in my apartment building who must be confused because I do her whenever I want. She had her name legally changed from Natalie to Nate, so she’s REALLY confused. I don’t think she really is a lesbian. Bi-sexual, I suppose.
And no wonder LA is burning. They said on the TV news that 10,000 homes and buildings have burnt down. That’s DEI for you. You can’t expect dykes to do a man’s job.
Cheryl Barker says
Kirstin No. 1: Mission: “The creation of systemic inclusion and diversity across the LAFD”
And silly me thinking the mission would be to PUT OUT FIRES.
Kasandra says
That’s just your hetero-white privilege speaking.. (sarc.)
Dr. Dre says
Pity the city they run. To me the Mayor, Karen Bass, is totally evil. The Kristens are just being used.
RedCar says
No, the Kirstens are users – like the mayor.
Mellie says
Yes, but they are a huge part of the problem, too.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, I’m sure the ten thousand and counting home owners who lost everything they had except presumably their cars, would agree.
Dykes are poison.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Clever and brilliant. Inspired.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes. If our houses were being inflamded I’m ‘ pretty sure we’d care.
cat says
Just shout “Kristin”
Jeff Bargholz says
What is that thing? Just looking at it makes me sick. “Kristen, save me from the fire.” She couldn’t save a five year old.
Craig Austin says
The pendulum is beginning it’s backswing, those that were hired or offered opportunity because of race or sex, will be fired or denied opportunity for the same reasons. Bring it on!
Rob A says
Don’t count on it. The dims will fight tooth & nail to prevent that from happening.
Robert Smith says
This all stems from voter fraud imho
Debbie says
Ummm, I would NOT say ALL…. after all, it is the state of CALIFORNICATION! smh
Jeff Bargholz says
Most of us Californians are normal. Or semi-normal like me.
No, the lunacy here comes from the “people” in charge.
Rob A says
In California? Pffft! Not a chance. California is a democrat super majority state. Vote fraud simply isn’t needed for democrats to win in this state.
The problem is, the only republicans that have a shot at winning elected office in this state are RINOs.
By the way, if and when Trump’s agenda fails to get through Congress and the Senate, it will be because of RINOs siding with democrats
Intrepid says
To paraphrase H.L. Mencken:
LA is getting what it deserves…..good and hard.
Sorry LA. But my empathy meter is pegged at zero. You voted in the idiot Mayor Bass who appointed them.
Kasandra says
Well, no one deserves this but the majority of them are as dumb as a box of rocks to have voted for her.
Intrepid says
Then I think they deserve it.
Debbie says
You mean him…fixed it for you.
cat says
Maybe but often we forget the vote fraud, delayed counting counting counting of votes and other forms of rigging..
Blue areas do not mean all the people there are in agreement. Yes, LA has some doozies, if Hollywood types are any measure. But it isn’t everyone. . .
Jeff Bargholz says
I think a lot of people DO deserve it
Rob A says
Right! Not only did sje cut $17 million from the city’s fire department budget but she also sent the extra fire fighting equipment over to the Ukraine.
I presume that she thinks the services of Antifa and BLM are cheaper. If they burn it all down, think of the tax revenue that would be generated to build back. Sick? Yeah. But that’s how democrat “logic” works. And think of all the grifting profits. Feed the voters a line of bullsh*t while padding their pockets. Ooh-la-la!! Lawd ha mercy!! Praise the lawd and pass the loot!! From the democrats perspective, what’s not to like about?
Rob A says
Don’t get too worked up. The areas that are getting burned are occupied by most rich loudmouth liberals. It’s hard to feel any empathy towards them. Cosmic justice is being served.
Jeff Bargholz says
WTF is this shit? No way is that a chick. That’s a dude. An ugly one. I know a guy when I see one.
I’m so sick and tired of these trannies.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Did you hear that the head of LA Water gets $750,000 a year? And they tout her time at a certain power company you are probably familiar with as a positive mark on her resume.
I guess the news from Northern California doesn’t get down to LA very often 🙂
owensgate says
LAFD?? That would be the (F)ighting (I)nequity (R)acism and (E)xclusion Department, no?
Gordon says
I almost died laughing when I saw it this morning. But I’m still not sure why some of those girl firefighters can’t just use their rainbow powers and do some twirls and cartwheels to put out the fires.
Onzeur Trante says
Great work, Daniel !! (I hear heads exploding)
internalexile says
Just wondering, but are any of these “diversity” people able to carry those 60 lb. metal containers of oxygen on their backs while climbing a ladder, like we used to hear about?
Algorithmic Analyst says
Not to mention carrying bodies. That is supposed to be extraordinarily difficult and require a great deal of strength.
Jeff Bargholz says
I used to carry people around, it;s not a big deal. Chicks can’t do it though.
Kasandra says
Now just a minute here. I was told, instructed even, and by my betters at that, that diversity is our strength. How can it possibly be that such a rollicking diverse crew could be such utter failures at their principal jobs?
Rob A says
Michael Savage once said that diversity is perversity. He’s been proven right a thousand times over.
FDTS says
The LA voters watching their houses burn should keep in mind that this is what DEI looks like. I wonder, does virtue signaling still make you feel good about yourself when everything you own is turning to ash. You get what you vote for. If you voted for more diversity, buy more insurance.
Kevin Kilty says
Diversity eventually kills the insurance industry.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Cal Fair Plan, the state run insurer of last resort, has hundreds of billions in liability and less than a billion in cash. Liable to go bankrupt soon. Which probably means bailed out by the State. Then the State may need to be bailed out by the Feds, since the state can’t print money. But they may not get help from the Feds.
Sifter says
This ain’t nothin’. Wait till you see that the Army can’t do.
Spurwing Plover says
And while L.A. Burns their Head Honcho for their Fire Dept Vacations in Africa
world@70 says
I believe that was the Mayor of LA attending the inauguration of the president of Angola. I can only guess, she was there because Jill Biden was busy,
Kevin Kilty says
I lived in the L.A. basin in the early 1980s for a time, and then a decade later I lived in southwest Washington state for eight years where many Cali expats had moved. One thing I can say is that they uniformly exhibited Ronald Reagan derangement; and, after explaining to me what they were doing now or what they did at one time in California for a living just underlined their gross incompetence.
This combination of mental illness with boutique fantasy beliefs is actually a fairly old story. It’s why Frank Lloyd Wright once observed that the U.S. is oriented slightly to the southwest and everything loose rolls to California.
Why it has produced such deep roots in California, and why it appears to spread successfully to the rest of the western U.S. has many explanations, I am sure, but a common thread is that leftists are unable to learn. They keep trying slightly different versions of the same thing, but never observing the result which turns out depressingly the same.
shempus says
was born in Santa Monica. Spent many an Xmas and Turkey Day at my grandparents house in the Palisades. Tragically, that house is probably gone now.
Rob A says
It’s why people in other states should be wary of Californians moving in. They’re fleeing and bring their far left views with them. When they turn where ever they move to into sh*t, they pack up and move somewhere else.
They’re like a flock of pigeons. They shit all over everything and when the stench gets bad enough, they fly away to a new locale to roost.
STW says
I ended up wondering what the rewrite to “Fahrenheit 451” would be like.
As an aside, my niece is a captain in CalFire. No idea what factored into her getting the job, but she does have a advanced degree in forestry management and worked on wildfire teams while she was going to school. She at least checked her own boxes.
Steven Brizel says
LA thanks to DEI is burning out of control
Kasandra says
Well, not entirely. I mean the white Left has accomplished its share of destruction, too. I mean the lack of forest cleanup and removal of dead wood and brush (a.k.a., fuel) and mismanagement of its water resources are largely due to the pale faces.
Jeff Bargholz says
I live in California and I don’t approve of that crap. Most of us don’t but the government is oppressive here.
Steven Brizel says
This is what DEI public policy and protection of a city’s citizens looks like
Joe Blavatsky says
Reminds me of the scene from Dirty Harry interviewing a police clerk.
Çâşëğ says
This is what happens when you normalize the abnormal.
Rob A says
Your comment needs expanding. This is also what happens when you normalize perversity. and define stupid and ignorant down. That is to say, in these days and times, deviant behavior and ignorant and stupid is the new normal.
Mitbar says
DEI and all it’s failures, way to go CA, you are first in nutjobs. It’s difficult to muster sympathy for these idiots from the governor on down.
john blackman says
a book published in 2018 called [ scorched worth ] by joel engel tells you all you need to know about fires in california and the reasons why generally they are so catastrophic . they didnt learn any lessons then and they will continue not to do so into the future . gavin nuisance will deny all responsibility and blame all and sundry , he has even bad mouthed orange man bad for stating the bleeding obvious reasons for the fires . but then the democrats and those that vote for them lack any discernment because DEI is more important than being prepared for such a disaster . it will continue unabated while such likes are obsessed with sexual politics and their sole reason for existence . be prepared for worse . i certainly hope heads will roll after this debacle but im not going to hold my breathe that it will happen . it will be interesting how the MSM spin this one for their overlords .
john blackman says
with all the Ks flying about at the LAFD their has to be a K for a Karen amongst them .
Guido Strada says
If you bump bushes together with enough vigor and enthusiasm, eventually the friction and heat buildup will cause them to catch fire!
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, lezzies and the fuzzy bumping are disgusting.
Joe Booker says
How ironic that having four lesbians at the top of any organization would be an example of “diversity”.
Lupie Riley says
Folks, the stench from Calif must have reached God’s nostrils and he said, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.” and he’s cleansing my fire. Jesus is coming soon for His own, you don’t want to be left behind because this is only the beginning of judgment that’s coming upon a world that raises their fist to the great “I AM.” It’s time to get your lives in order and in tune with the Creator. Maranatha, even so Lord come
Russell Blaylock says
It is a tragedy for the people who didn’t vote for this utter idiocy. It is generally unrealized that with voting comes responsibility. Those who voted for these psychopaths deserve what they voted for—the rest didn’t. The other commentator was correctly pointed out that many of these leftist morons move to conservative states and once their number is high enough they ruin their new state with their incredible idiocy. The sign of insanity, many have said, is to do the same thing and expect a different result! Leftism is insanity.
Jerry says
I’m a middle aged white male, and I think it’s high time for me to start identifying as a lesbian. It makes perfect sense to me.
