On Friday, January 24th, President Donald Trump is expected to arrive in Los Angeles to see the damage caused by wildfires in the near future.
But it is not just a fire that is out of control. The same is true of California Democrats. They seem to be more interested in "counterattacking" our new president, rather than putting the interests of California first, seeking his help.
Governor Gavin Newsom strongly condemned Trump's error information on the cause of the fire. As usual, when the left complaints are complaining about the error message, they actually don't like real things. Trump has made people pay attention to incompetence and long -term policy failures. These failures have led to the destructiveness of this disaster to exceed due, which may make New Onem feel uncomfortable. But Trump is correct at every point.
California fire: the basic phone number of residents in Los Angeles and how to help them
My policy organization Golden Together has just published a paper that put forward practical ideas to help Los Angeles and our state after the fire. But Trump's interview provides an opportunity to immediately achieve this goal.

Why can't California's left -wing politicians realize that Trump's commitment to the new "Golden Age" in the United States is also an opportunity for Jinzhou? This is an opportunity to recover from the fire, rebuild faster and better, and prevent similar incidents from re -incidents.
People have a lot of discussions on the Federal Aid to California and whether there should be "additional conditions". In the end, this will be determined by Congress, just as California's Representative Kevin Kili told me in a recent interview that, given that California has a bad record in the waste of federal funds (such as the new crown rescue fund), so Basement of funds is crucial. Send to California.
But perhaps more important than federal funds is the professional knowledge that Trump can provide. If California Democrats can overcome the sad political scores, they can ask him the following three things.
We have an architect as president. People who have a lifelong professional understanding of how to build things quickly, economically, and high -quality.
California should take advantage of this unique opportunity. Ask Trump's suggestions on how to complete Los Angeles. In the next few years, Super Bowl, Football World Cup and Olympic Games will be held in Los Angeles. We cannot waste time. We need to build, baby, construction and drilling, baby, drilling!
The most important thing is that Trump is a pragmatic leader. He is not interested in ideology and is interested in the results. He just wanted to do things well. I believe he will put forward this very useful specific idea about how to rebuild Los Angeles and who can help to do this-listen to him!
One of the most striking disputes between Newerm and Trump is the outbreak of water problems, and California failed to provide sufficient water for our cities and farmers. Trump is absolutely correct at this point. The so -called reporter laughed at Trump to talk about a "giant faucet" that supply water to Southern California, and Gavin Newerm limited the faucet in order to protect a small fish. But they did this exactly their ignorance.
Most of the water supply in California is located in the northern part of the state, most of which come from rivers and reservoirs. These rivers and reservoirs are melted from the Nevada Mountains to provide water sources. Most people live in the south, where there are two main water supply routes: the Delta-Mentada Canal built and operated by the federal government, as well as the California hear tank operated by the state. Each project has a huge pumping station, near Sacraono-St. Huajin Delta, which is used to regulate water.

Among his first government, Trump ordered federal pumping stations to increase water supply. It is incredible that California has retaliated by reducing the supply of state pumping stations to leave more water in Delta. Why? They also acknowledged that this was to protect salmon and three -inch gourd fish. In any case, this species was extinct in 2020 until the biologist at the University of California Davis was resurrected.
Trump issued a new administrative order -people better than fish -to increase the water supply of federal systems. California should welcome this instead of fighting against it as last time.
On these two issues -water and rebuilding Los Angeles -both have a huge obstacle to self -setting: the shocking, the worst bureaucratic style of the country in California.

In fact, these days this hinders California's complete things: rebuilding Los Angeles, building a new water conservancy infrastructure we urgently need, and building a new house needed to solve the housing crisis. Our housing cost is the highest in the United States, but the housing ownership rate is the lowest. We pay the highest fees for all things such as water and electricity. A large part of the reason is that the huge bureaucratic bureaucratic bureaucracy in Sacraono has established one -party rule by the Democrats for decades.
One of the most striking disputes between Newerm and Trump is the outbreak of water problems, and California failed to provide sufficient water for our cities and farmers.
Their "climate" extremism has become an excuse for slowing or preventing any projects. Those who managed to continue to move forward were hit by irresponsible and changing environmental regulations such as CARB (California Air Resources Commission) or coastal committees. (By the way, these two people have the greatest responsibility for the destruction of the Los Angeles fire. It is their regulations that have hindered the important shrub cleanup work in the region.)
In addition to environmental extremism, we also have excessive labor regulations, which are implemented under the requirements of the union of the California Democratic Party politicians. The cost of extorting labor and forcing the use of union workers means that many construction projects have been canceled because of inevitable. The most important thing is that taxation, fees, licenses and incredible bureaucratic procedures are added together, making California's business environment the worst in the United States for decades.

Trump knows how to deal with it all. He asked Elon Musk to be responsible for eliminating the federal bureaucracy: Now let us do the same thing in the worst state in the US bureaucracy. Yes, it's time to go to Doge California!
California urgently needs some common sense and ability. President Trump can help provide this -as long as Gavin Newer and other California Democrats are willing to listen.
