Nine months after the LA wildfires, and guess what's LA County's top priority? It's not helping the thousands of Americans still living in temporary housing or fighting insurance companies. Nope – they've declared a state of emergency to pay rent for criminal illegals who are "afraid" to go to work because of ICE raids. Meanwhile, 75% of Pacific Palisades residents are still displaced, one in five households are skipping meals, and people are fleeing California in droves because the rebuild process is an absolute nightmare of bureaucratic red tape. But hey, at least the criminal illegals don't have to worry about rent! We dive into the shocking disparity between how LA treats American taxpayers versus people who shouldn't even be here, the vanishing $100 million from celebrity fire relief concerts, and why it'll take YEARS for these communities to rebuild thanks to California's regulatory stranglehold. Is anyone surprised that people are abandoning the state that abandoned them first? What does it say about our priorities when criminals get emergency housing assistance while fire victims get the runaround? Hit subscribe if you're as fed up with this backwards insanity as we are – and share this with everyone who needs to see where their tax dollars really go!
