Biden’s Claims and Waters’ Critique Amid LA Fires Spark Controversy

Los Angeles: Recently, President Biden made some bold claims about illegal migration dropping when he took office. But, honestly, that’s not the whole story. The numbers actually shot up during his presidency, going from about 3 million to 12 million encounters. That’s a big deal and might have played a part in Kamala Harris losing her seat in November.

Then there’s Rep. Maxine Waters, who slammed the wealthy for not paying their fair share to help with firefighting services. But here’s the kicker: California already has the highest income tax rate in the nation. The top 1% are already covering nearly half of the state’s income tax revenue. So, it’s not just about money; it’s about how the state manages its resources.

The wildfires in California are more about poor government management than a lack of funds. Hydrants are dry, and there aren’t enough firefighters. It’s like the state turned its forests into a tinderbox waiting to catch fire.

Biden’s National Security Adviser, Jake Sullivan, claimed the U.S. is in a stronger position than four years ago. But remember, he said the Middle East was “quieter” just before the Hamas attacks. That didn’t age well.

And then there’s Kamala Harris, who told Californians to “be patient” during this crisis. It felt a bit tone-deaf, like saying, “Let them eat cake.” Thankfully, we won’t have to hear that for the next four years.
