    I'm not saying she's not qualified. But I am skeptical. If you look at most of the DEI hires, their resume probably look good. But does it mean anything?

    Look at the resume of the former head of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle. Had a great resume but wasn't close to being competent and was fired.



    Kimberly Cheatle served more than 25 years for the United States Secret Service in numerous leadership roles, including the Vice Presidential Protective Division, the Resident Agent in Charge, Grand Rapids, MI resident office, Assistant Inspector, Office of Inspection, Assistant to the Special Agent in Charge, Vice Presidential Protective Division, and Assistant to the Special Agent in Charge, RTC. In 2021, President Biden awarded Cheatle with a Presidential Rank Award, recognizing her among a select group of career members of the Senior Executive Service for exceptional performance over an extended period of time.

      Newsom is California's Trudeau

      Gov. Newsom cut fire budget by $100M months before lethal California fires



      A review of California Gov. Newsom's budget cuts shows fire prevention funding was reduced substantially just months before the California fires.

        The problem with DEI firing is that the hires do not consider the proven capabilities of applicants and instead look at politically based qualities. Isn't that exactly what you are doing?

          I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. But let me explain where I'm coming from.

          I look at failures in New Orleans where a terrorist attack that should have never happened, happened because of DEI. It's pathetic. I look at the job of a DEI hire at the secret service that never should have happened. But it did because of DEI.

          So, when I see Los Angles burning and the folks in charge, am I not supposed to question DEI?

            Let me go one step further. Every time something catastrophic happens under a DEI hire, I'm gonna question it. Why? Because after everything that has happened, how can I not?

              Let me tell you how fucking crazy liberals are. I learned that 54% of all wild fires in California were due to the homeless population.

              Now get this.

              A homeless person was caught setting a fire in the current situation that is burning. 7 eye witnesses saw him setting the fire. The cops arrived and found him holding a blow torch. They arrested him but 2 hours later they released him because they said they didn't have probable cause. What?

                So what you learned is highly doubtful and disruptive disrespectful and a lie.

                    What do they expect, they pushed this DEI & woke shit on us for 4 years! So when something bad happens under a DEI hire of course we are going to question it.

                    If anything good can possibly come out of these fires it's NewSCUM just blew his chances of ever becoming president of USA. Thank God!

                        Pretty SAD all the Republicans want to is blame someone.

                        Don't see anything helpful or helping.

                        Instead it's about pitting American against one another based on race or if your a female.

                          Do you know why I stopped being hard on you? Because I seriously believe you're just not that sharp.



                          Woodland Hills residents stop man with blowtorch who may be connected to Kenneth Fire, officials say

                          One person has been detained in that investigation. Now, a police source tells FOX 11 that a man who was arrested Thursday in Woodland Hills may be linked to the fire.

                          The arrest happened around 4:30 p.m. Thursday, near the area of Arcos Drive and Galendo Street. Residents say a man was riding around on a bicycle carrying a large blow torch, trying to set multiple old Christmas trees and garbage cans on fire. When the man rode away, neighbors followed him, and eventually stepped in.


                          One neighbor said that a group went up and grabbed the man, even zip-tying him at one point.

                          ​During a press conference Friday morning, LAPD Assistant Chief Dominic Choi said there wasn't enough evidence to arrest the man for arson or suspicion of arson. The man was, however, arrested on suspicion of a felony probation violation. The case is being investigated.

                            The fire protection failure in California has been with the state government in Sacramento, not the LAFD.

                            Until the majority of California voter realize that we are going to continue to see fire disasters like what is happening in LA and the November 2018 Camp Fire.

                              I understand that but that doesn't absolve the LAFD DEI program. History has shown these DEI hires are not competent in most cases.

                                Let me state this in another way. I'm not saying nor have I ever said that DEI is the root cause in these fires. Nope. I'm not even saying she's not qualified. I don't know and neither does anyone else on here. That resume doesn't mean shit.

                                What I am very clearly saying is that when DEI is part of the equation, I'd be foolish not to question these people that are in charge. That's all.
