Trump on the ground with Melania in LA right now talking to residents. Melania conversed with a couple of them either in Slovene or Croatian. Definitely not German. She speaks six languages, she's not only beautiful but very smart

Imagine them thinking that the NC pic is a burn of some kind. Still very photogenic.

It was pretty funny. He came out to the stairs and Trump kept him waiting for about 10 minutes. He was the only person there, all alone on the tarmac

---

I was impressed that they put the personal stuff aside to work on the problem.

As for Newsome being by himself, he did not know what to expect. He didn't want ANY witnesses to a berating by the President. I thought well played by Trump, he came across Presidential and will exact what he wants after recovery is underway. Well, done.

Isn't that similar to how some losing HC's are fired?

I loved the debate between DeSantis and GN. When DeSantis asked how you destroy a great state like CA, which has so many resources, and has the goods to be a world economy.
It was perfect! And he mimicked what I've been saying for years.
You have to go out of your way to ruin a place like CA. It has so many naturally occurring gifts going for it, that it would take someone being purposeful in their attempts to ruin it.
CA has the weather, the climate, the geographic grandeur and diversity, an agricultural landscape that can rival many, if not most of the, world's greatest areas of crop production.
Not to mention, because of its weather and other draws, it has become the home of a bumper crop of tourism destinations (including theme parks, national parks, etc.), along with great cities like SF, LA and SD that attract visitors from around the world.
How do you take over a state with all of those jewels in the crown that is CA, and destroy it by watching more people and businesses leaving the state than those coming in. Not to mention the Hollywood industry, which had reasons for settling in CA. Reasons that still exist, except for that pesky little business friendly thing. Which liberal governors, esp. those in CA, love to sabotage as well.
RD hit the nail right on the head. All while governor hair gel just stood there smiling, bouncing back and forth on his feet, oh so playful (gag me)...all while being pantsed on national TV.
Cue the Looney Tunes exit music.

However you'll never see a journalist in LA mention this in their reporting on his business practices.

They're petrified of losing access... to an Epstein guy. Can you imagine being that callous?

RACISM? Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass opposes voter ID but is requiring proof of residency and photo ID to enter the Pacific Palisades area. What about all of the minority residents who can’t obtain ID?

Sounds like a lot but his take home
Pay is only 100k

Developer Steve Soboroff also warned them not to use city water to 'bathe your baby' in burned-out areasno matter what the water department says. Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass's (D.) wildfire recovery czar, Steve Soboroff, advised Hollywood talent executives on a private Zoom call to wait to sell their properties. City investments in the Palisades neighborhood, he said, will allow them to "triple" the low-ball offers they're currently receiving. "Whether you're broke or you're old, don't sell now, because in one year we're going to be putting billions of dollars in your neighborhood of improvements," Soboroff said Thursday. "You'll get triple what these guys are offering you for now."
It appeared at least some of the call's attendees had their homes damaged or destroyed entirely in this month's wildfires, while others were looking for ways to help.
The Washington Free Beacon obtained a recording of the call, which included executives and staff of three elite Hollywood talent agencies, William Morris, Creative Artists Agency, and United Talent Agency (UTA) of Beverly Hills, the meeting's host. Among them was UTA vice chair Jay Sures, who represents CNN host Jake Tapper and vacationed in Italy with the left-wing network's former president Jeff Zucker and former anchor Don Lemon. Another executive on the call was William Morris partner Richard Weitz, whose clients include Tina Fey, Seth MacFarlane, and Ricky Gervais.
Soboroffa former city police commissioner, prominent local developer behind the Staples Center, home to both the Lakers and the Grammy Awards, and longtime Bass supporterprovided details on the call that haven't been disclosed publicly. His son, Jacob Soboroff, helmed national coverage of the wildfires for NBC News and is at the center of a defamation lawsuit against the network over allegations that he falsely reported that a doctor routinely performed unnecessary procedures, including hysterectomies.
During the call, Soboroff said "half our labor" could get deported before the Palisades is rebuilt, which he said could be extremely expensive. He also warned listeners not to take the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) water testing at face value, saying "don't bathe your baby in their water."
"Construction costs are going to be high because the demand for commodities is going to be high, the demand for laborwhether or not half our labor is deported before this happensis going to be high, so we're going to be recruiting people from around the country to come and live at Motel 6s like the Alaska Gold Rush," Soboroff said. "It's going to take a long time."
"Just because the DWP says your water is safe, have somebody test it before you move back in, and when they say drinking water, use bottled water," Soboroff continued. "What they don't say isand they're starting to say it nowdon't bathe your baby in their water, don't take a bath in the water, don't take a shower, don't do your dishes, don't do your laundry, you don't want to do anything with that water until it's deemed safe and then personally, if you can afford it, I would get an independent agency or maybe there's a kit at CVS that'll tell you your water is safe."
A spokeswoman for LADWP did not respond directly to Soboroff's criticisms but noted there is a Do Not Drink advisory in place for the Pacific Palisades, and directed the Free Beacon to its official notice stating that the department "has expanded operational water quality testing in communities adjacent to the Do Not Drink area" to answer customer concerns. "Thus far, there have been no anomalies and all drinking water standards continue to be met in areas adjacent to the Do Not Drink area," the notice says.
In an email, Soboroff did not respond to specific questions and instead said, "All that's accurate. I trust DWP but when they say water is safe I'd check every faucet."
He similarly advised listeners to "get some independent advice".

Recovery czar Steve Soboroff will be paid $500,000 over three months, with funding coming from charitable groups.

Mayor Karen Bass announced the hiring of a consulting firm that specializes in disaster response.

The firm will report to an official recently hired by the city's Emergency Management Department.

He’s getting paid $500,000 for 3 months of work? And they call this a charity.

Gross. Offensive.

I’m getting paid $0 - as are many people.

It’s a good thing there will be strings on the Federal money for California. https://t.co/ZWabYTxOxg

I see the need for expert disaster recovery. I see the need to pay them. LA is going to need professionals to come in and get that place recovered. It is not like hosing down the yard and replacing some drywall. This is all the way down to the base infrastructure, that requires specialized skill sets. Working in the Palasades area in those hills? That is not basic civil engineering, hire a GC and rebuild. The wastewater and water is a specialized group, we are talking the potential for massive problems.

What I don't get is the charitable part. Are they saying this is a charitable donation to this guy and tax free or a deduction? The money trail is strange here.
