Richard Grenell: There will be conditions on Los Angeles fire aid
His targeting of the Coastal Commission echos both Trump and Elon Musk, who sued the powerful state agency last year over its rejection of SpaceX’s rocket-launch plan. The commission, which oversees much of the permitting along the state’s vaunted 840-mile coastline, has a long history of tangling with developers, Hollywood stars and billionaires.

I noticed that white media is covering up this catastrophe that their ancestors caused from draining all the water from some freshwater lake and even the ground water. These wildfires were caused by white agriculture practices and their retarded thinking.
The blame somehow got shifted to us as being a DEI failure, Karen Bass is a failure, but it isn't due to DEI. This is common practice for whites to shift blame to us when they commit a heinous crime such as butchering their kids, some mysterious non-white perpetrator killed their children.

Who destroyed your house? What caused the wildfires? Who abducted your child and stuffed her in the back of a trunk
I don't know, she was a black female DEI politician.
Was it Karen Bass, that caused this environmental catastrophe?
I think so yes, it was her...

Los Angeles is rebuilding very slowly from its devastating wildfires. Here's why.
Relaxing environmental rules is only one small step in a fraught process.

Dude sounds like a M.A.G.A. cracker, using A.I. to create images.... he told ChatGPT he wanted to highlight “the stark contrast and the direct connection between the different parts of the world” in the image. He casually took pictures of the view before he set the fire and then filmed firefighters trying to extinguish it.
Firefighters watch the flames from the Palisades Fire burning a home on January 8, in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.
Los Angeles-- Nine months after a raging inferno decimated the Los Angeles area, claiming the lives of a dozen people and burning down thousands of homes and businesses, officials have arrested a suspect in Florida on suspicion of arson.
Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, is facing a federal charge of destruction of property by means of fire, according to Bill Essayli, the acting US attorney for Southern California.
The suspect, who used to work as an Uber driver and lived in the Pacific Palisades at the time, is under arrest on suspicion of arson in connection with the Palisades Fire. He did not enter a plea at a federal court appearance on Wednesday in Orlando.
Authorities painted a picture of a man singularly focused on a city going up in flames at a news conference Wednesday, saying the suspect repeatedly watched a rap video that included “objects being lit on fire” in the days before allegedly setting the fire.
The suspect also allegedly prompted ChatGPT to generate a “dystopian painting showing in part a burning forest and a crowd fleeing from it,” in the months before the fire started, Essayli said.
The federal criminal complaint provides additional detail about the prompt the suspect allegedly used, offering insight into Rinderknecht’s state of mind.
Rinderknecht asked the chatbot for a “dystopian painting divided into distinct parts that blend together seamlessly. On the far left, there is a burning forest. Next to it, a crowd of people is running away from the fire, leading to the middle. In the middle, hundreds of thousands of people in poverty are trying to get past a gigantic gate with a big dollar sign on it. On the other side of the gate and the entire wall is a conglomerate of the richest people. They are chilling, watching the world burn down, and watching the people struggle.”
The suspect also told ChatGPT he wanted to highlight “the stark contrast and the direct connection between the different parts of the world” in the image.
This AI-Generated image was released by Acting United States Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli who said the image was found on devices owned by Jonathan Rinderknecht.
A federal judge appointed a public defender to represent Rinderknecht and continued his detention hearing to Thursday morning.
Rinderknecht will remain in custody at least until that hearing, according to court records.
His preliminary hearing has been postponed indefinitely to give prosecutors in California time to select witnesses and arrange travel.
CNN has contacted Rinderknecht’s attorney for comment but did not immediately hear back.
“As the world watched in horror as the Palisades fire burned, victims perished in the smoke and flames. Homes where cherished family memories and belongings were turned to rubble and ash. The iconic Pacific Coast Highway along Malibu looked like a war zone,” Essayli said.
“Thousands of people were forced to evacuate. The homes and businesses cannot be rebuilt. This arrest, we hope, will provide a measure of justice to all those who were impacted.”
