@ParkMikep0224 @TheKevinDalton People have lived in the Sierras for generations- difference is the amount of fuel... if it was managed, fires would be controlled as they have been... but after 80 years of fire suppression, it a fuel bomb

@timbertomboy @TheKevinDalton Some places you should not build. Paradise, CA is one of them.

Gavin Newsom once again brings up Paradise, Grizzly Flats, and Greenville as examples of California communities destroyed by climate change. In reality Grizzly Flats fire was started by arson. The Paradise and Greenville fires were started by Gavin’s campaign donor PG&E.

Private landowners are allowed—and in many cases required—to thin and remove fuels around their homes under PRC 4291 and 4290, which mandate 100 feet (or to the property line) of defensible space to reduce wildfire risk to structures. Many landowners in Paradise and surrounding areas did not have adequate fuel reductions on their properties and roadways prior to the Camp Fire, despite these legal requirements. If you’re in a riparian management zone (near creeks or streams), work can be more restricted or require additional precautions (such as buffers, limited equipment use, or timing restrictions to avoid impacts to sensitive habitats), but it is generally still permissible with proper planning. Work around creeks can often proceed with limits, and in some cases monitoring for species like the foothill yellow-legged frog may be required if they are present in the area. Did you have a Registered Professional Forester (RPF) involved? In California, our profession is required for managing forested landscapes, and an RPF helps landowners navigate state laws, permitting, environmental compliance, and any site-specific restrictions to successfully complete fuel reduction work—often including surveys, monitoring, or mitigation measures depending on proximity to creeks or other sensitive features.

@timbertomboy @TheKevinDalton What's worst is the area was "protected" So us canyon residents weren't allowed to clear anything that might change habitat. After fire I wasn't allowed to start debris removal because it might disturb a frog living in creek. A FROG.

And naivete... many homeowners were resistant to removing fuel around their homes- they like the vegetative fences and all the trees - not realizing the level of flammability of much of the vegetation they were living in- many homes had 8-10 ft tall manzanita and pine trees all around their homes- manzanita is a very flammable plant with exceptionally high BTUs

@timbertomboy @SandSteelCotton @TheKevinDalton Deliberate indifference/negligence.

Exactly- with the topography of the Sierras being north south tending ridges, all of the main roads in and out of towns up and down the Sierras are primarily two lane east/ west roads with few exceptions like hwy 49.... they are primarily narrow historic roads that are overgrown with fuel- and people dont realize flame lengths are usually 2-3 times the height of vegetation which literally will cover the roads in a wall of fire when fire hits. Fuel reduction is absolutely imperative.

@timbertomboy @TheKevinDalton 💯 Was a ticking time bomb and choke points coming in and going out. Place was the poster child for a massive deadly wild fire.

I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country

BUSTED - time to expose the lies and treason of the Senate Democrats YET AGAIN. They were asked to pass ONLY the voter ID part of the SAVE America Act...and they fully BLOCKED it. Democrats claimed: "We support voter ID, not all the other stuff." So Sen. Jon Husted filed to do exactly what they claimed. Turns out it seems they simply REALLY want fraud. Sen. Mike Lee: "Chuck Schumer and other Democrats have insisted that they actually support Voter ID—they just object to other parts of the SAVE America Act." "Well, Sen Jon Husted just asked unanimous consent to pass ONLY the Voter ID portion of the bill. Democrats blocked it." REPOST far and wide! #thinblueline #lawenforcement

Why California experiences so many catastrophic wildfires — many interconnected reasons: • Mediterranean climate — California has a classic Mediterranean climate with wet winters and long, hot, dry summers. This pattern historically shaped its landscapes through frequent fire, especially in forests and chaparral. Dry lightning strikes are common during summer thunderstorms, igniting fires when vegetation is extremely dry and flammable. • Decades of disruption to the historic fire regime — In the Sierra Nevada and Southern Cascades, natural (pre-suppression) fire return intervals were typically every 5–30 years in many pine and mixed-conifer forests. Aggressive fire suppression policies since the early 20th century (especially post-1910) have prevented most low- and moderate-intensity fires, allowing many areas to go unburned for 80–100+ years. This has led to massive fuel accumulation (dead wood, dense understory, and ladder fuels). • Sharp decline in logging — Commercial logging (especially on federal lands) was reduced by roughly 90% starting in the early 1990s, largely due to protections for the northern spotted owl (and later the California spotted owl) under the Endangered Species Act and related forest plans. This halted much of the mechanical fuel removal that historically occurred through timber harvesting. • Poor forest management practices post-owl listing — The emphasis on retaining high tree densities and canopy cover (to protect spotted owl habitat, which favors >70% canopy in many studies) led to “more trees per acre” policies in some areas. This increased both horizontal continuity (dense stands) and vertical continuity (ladder fuels from ground to canopy), making forests more prone to high-severity crown fires rather than the low-intensity surface fires that once dominated. • Climate — California is in a drought every 7-10 yrs...prolonged drought lowers fuel moisture as does too many trees per acre... dry fuel burns easier • Human factors — Most ignitions are human-caused (power lines, equipment, arson, etc.), and population growth/expansion into the wildland-urban interface increases exposure and suppression challenges. Fire clearances are typically not strongly enforced u til recently in CA • Inadequate hazardous fuel reduction — the work is expensive, there are not many mills left in CA- and non in much of the State- to handle the material or offset any expenses. Pretreating fuels is often necessary before using prescribed burning to reduce fuels. Prescribed Burning is restricted due to regulatory, funding, and air quality constraints. - The public is not always supportive of fuels reduction projects. USFS lands are often sued to stop thinning projects. We can mitigate fire behavior with proper forest management

County logs show 611,428 ballots cast — but 657,322 were certified. A 45,896-vote discrepancy in an election that could decide the balance of power in Congress. SF Chronicle declares investigating a "conspiracy," I call it a duty.

@JimboWally98761 @TheKevinDalton Most of the Sierra's and Cascades are overgrown with fuel- heat exacerbates the issue.... our snow pack has melted off early this year so this fire season may start early

@timbertomboy @TheKevinDalton We got heat and dry building up now and many areas are still fuel laden

@TheKevinDalton I have fat fingers- the one sentence should read all it needed was a spark to become a catastrophe...

He is absolutely wrong. I was in Paradise the week before the fire- I can tell you as a registered professional Forester that upon leaving I literally told my husband people were going to die if the area ever caught fire. It was so overgrown with trees and brush and given the topography, I'll let me was a spark to become a catastrophe.... climate had nothing to do with the overgrowth... it's just an excuse for not doing anything

Vote them out- anyone who doesn't fund this needs to go- and they need to go back to the end of the TSA lines- no skipping, they're not royalty... isn't it them who say no Kings....

🤣This is a hilarious montage of Chuck Norris jokes. If you think about it, he really was the first 80’s action hero and pretty much started the genre of 80’s and 90’s action movies.

In 2016, California ran a $1bn surplus. In 2026, it'll be a $26bn deficit. All while California GDP grew by 50%.

I just went through TSA. Had to show my Government ID. Turns out — 90% of America have flown commercial and had to do the same thing. That’s +300 million people. If we can do it to fly we can do it to vote. Both must require absolute security. PASS the SAVE America Act 🇺🇸

A guy who's built companies for 25 years just went on Diary of a CEO and said plumbers will earn more than lawyers within the next 2 years. Sounds insane. But the numbers actually back it up: Last week alone, $280 BILLION was wiped off the value of legal and data companies. Thomson Reuters crashed. LegalZoom got hammered. The entire knowledge economy felt the shockwave in real time. Why? Because AI just proved it can do what a $500/hour lawyer does for $20 a month. Daniel Priestley went on the show and explained how he recently had a legal case that was quoted at $60,000 by a law firm. Instead of paying, his team used Claude. The AI gave them a full coaching session on how to handle the case, mapped out multiple decision tree pathways, generated every document they needed, and even built a spreadsheet breaking down exactly what to say and what not to say in the negotiation. Total cost: $20 a month. They resolved the case without a lawyer. Now multiply that by every business in the world that's paying legal fees they no longer need to pay. The entire financial model of knowledge work is collapsing in real time. Meanwhile, ask yourself this: Can AI fix your toilet? Can it rewire your house? Lay your foundation? Replace your roof? It can't. And it won't be able to for decades. Here's where the supply and demand crisis gets ugly... Governments spent 20 years pushing every young person into university. Get a degree or you'll never get a job. So an entire generation that should've become plumbers, electricians, and builders went and got master's degrees in subjects nobody was hiring for. They came out with $60-80K in debt and ZERO marketable skills. That created a massive shortage of tradespeople. And now AI is about to flood the market with unemployed knowledge workers while the demand for people who work with their hands explodes. The math is simple: Too many lawyers, not enough plumbers. AI makes the lawyer surplus worse every single month. Priestley called this the most important economic shift of our LIFETIME. For 30 years, blue collar work has been devalued. Everyone wanted to sit behind a screen. White collar was the "smart" path. That era just ended. The pendulum is swinging back hard. And the people who positioned themselves in physical, hands-on work that AI cannot touch are about to be the highest earners in the economy. For anyone building a business right now, the lesson is clear: Stop chasing what's "prestigious." Chase what's SCARCE. AI can write your contracts, build your website, run your ads, and draft your emails. But it cannot show up to your client's office, shake their hand, and solve a physical problem. The winners of the next decade won't be the most technically skilled. They'll be the ones who bet on what machines can't do.

🚨 Nick Shirley interviews a California WHISTLEBLOWER who’s a medical industry professional She says there is an entire industry of just gathering Medicare numbers from people Entire lists are made, then bought and sold to bill Medicare for services, BUT IT’S ALL FRAUD “The way these hospices are able to enroll these people and collect money from Medicare and Medi-Cal here inside of California is they collect the Medicare numbers from individuals and then sign them up for hospice without them even knowing. I actually went and spoke with a professional inside of the medical industry to get her opinion on how this all works. We're seeing all these hospices pop up here. Why is hospice and home healthcare such a booming business right now?” “I think it's become a trend of fraud. Honestly — I heard about this about five years ago during COVID that people were building hospices and selling them. It was like a business — it's an easy way to bill Medicare with their people's beneficiary numbers that people can easily steal and even purchase and buy. They buy numbers from people and tell them, give me your Medicare beneficiary number and then we will give you something in return — So they'll give you a a Medicare ID number and that number is what's used to bill Medicare. So essentially if they can get a number from somebody, it's almost like getting a credit card number. And then from there they can continue to bill and bill and bill and get that Medicare money.” She says getting people’s Medicare numbers is “More valuable than their credit cards numbers”

@nickshirleyy Keep digging—the facts back you up. California’s State Auditor documented millions in waste/misuse in late 2025 alone, plus years of ignored warnings on fraud risks in big programs. Dem leadership often brushes these off, but taxpayers feel the hit. Your videos are shining light where it’s needed most

Nick Shirley, right now

This should piss off every tax payer

When Gavin Newsom pretends to care about gas prices, remember that he tried to ban your gas-powered car.
