A class action for us.
"Firefighters are in a critical stage of their six-day battle against deadly Los Angeles wildfires." "More than 105,000 residents are still under evacuation orders." "Authorities have confirmed at least 24 deaths, with 16 from the Eaton fire, eight in Palisades, but say it's not yet safe to assess the true total." "Questions over LA's preparedness for the firestorm have led to political finger-pointing even as the emergency response continues." CNN. Twenty-four deaths are nothing in India. Over 30 people were shot dead in Chandigarh in August 2017 when followers of Ram Rahim rioted after he was convicted of rape and murder. BBC. More recently, in July 2024, at least 121 people were killed in a stampede "at a satsang (a Hindu religious event) in Hathras District in Uttar Pradesh". BBC. "Helping drive the wildfires in the US city of Los Angeles are the so-called Santa Ana winds," (Barron's) which, "occasionally referred to as the devil winds, are strong extremely dry katabatic winds that originate inland and affect coastal Southern California and northern Baja California, (wikipedia)" California used to be a part of Mexico (wikipedia) and was forcibly grabbed by the US in 1845 by defeating forces under Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana, soldier and occasional president of Mexico (Britannica). Maybe Santa Ana is taking revenge, helped by California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) who "is foundering, blundering on facts and bumbling to avoid blame," wrote Seema Sirohi. Newsom ignored Donald Trump's warnings - in his first term - "on better water management and wildfire mitigation by cutting down dead trees and undergrowth." Instead he filed 122 lawsuits against Trump, which would have cost millions of dollars, and has earmarked a $25 million fund to block Trump's policies this time round. LA Mayor Karen Bass (D) was on a junket in Ghana ignoring the catastrophe. While Newsom and Bass are destroying California, Democrat President Joe Biden's vindictive orders to obstruct Trump in the dying days of his administration are causing problems for all of us. Biden "has announced sweeping sanctions targeting Russia's oil sector. This is a mischievous move to help the oil and defence lobbies in the US just days before Donald Trump re-enters the White House." FE. Already Brent crude has jumped to over $80 to $81.26 per barrel this morning. oilprice.com. In an effort to block peace in Ukraine, Biden "has allowed the first use of long-range missiles by Ukraine to intensify its strikes on Russia." TOI. In a sweeping pardon, a shameless Biden issued a presidential pardon for his criminal son Hunter Biden of all crimes against the United States. BBC. Indians will not forget or forgive the disorganized precipitous flight of US forces from Afghanistan leaving behind $7 billion worth of arms which have been used by terrorists in Kashmir. Because of Biden. NBC. Biden, Newsom, Bass, a trio of small-minded, self-serving, shameless, unprincipled rogues oblivious to deaths and misery. Perhaps, the people of California could file a class action lawsuit (wikipedia) against Newsom, Bass and the Democrats for compensation and damages. Make them pay. A little pleasure for us.
