NBC News sounded the alarm Sunday reporting the first human death in Louisiana from Bird Flu. As soon the L.A. fires faded, the media needed a new emergency to keep Americans glued to the news. A new Bird Flu vaccine is now available for everyone who hasn't died from the Covid-19 shot yet.
• Mayor Karen Bass is accused of gross negligence by fire victims in the Palisades who lost their homes Friday. No one can understand why there was no water in the local reservoir in the Pacific Palisades. You would think the reservoirs would be full of water after the L.A. Fire Department installed three dikes.
• Will Rogers State Park in Palisades honoring the great Oklahoma stand-up comedian onstage, in print, on the radio and Hollywood movies burned down Tuesday. He's still funny to this day. Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City is the only airport named after somebody killed in a plane crash.
• Governor Gavin Newsom complained to the White House about the TV coverage he's getting blaming him for the fire damage. To be totally honest, the TV news video of the roaring brushfires at night was nothing short of spectacular. California is the last blue state I expected to turn into a red state.
• Donald Trump was urged in a letter from Governor Gavin Newsom Saturday to stop politicizing wildfires. It does seem pointless to keep beating Gavin over the head with a political stick. The good news is Governor Newsom appears to be on track now that he knows that water is useful in fighting fires.
• Governor Gavin Newsom launched state efforts to rebuild burned L.A. neighborhoods Sunday. He signed an order expediting home construction from bureaucratic red tape. Going the governor one better, Donald Trump promised U.S. citizenship to any illegal immigrant who can build a house in 4 days.
• Los Angeles firefighters slowly and finally started to contain the four wildfires plaguing L.A. on Saturday. Corporate attempts to help those battling the blazes faced challenges. Anheuser-Busch sent 50,000 cans of water to the fire crews, but the firefighters complain that it tastes like Michelob Ultra.
• The Wall Street Journal reported that firefighters from all over the U.S. and Canada arrived in L.A. last week to help local firefighters beat back the Palisades and Eaton wildfires. They did all they could with what they had. Our fire hydrants were so dry they were praying for a dog to come by.
