Michael Kureth (@FireRebuild) long ago put together a comprehensive analysis of all the weather stations in the Palisades, showing that the "hurricane force wind" narrative was completely false. This wasn't a climate disaster, it was a government disaster firerebuild.com/analytical-r…
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt kicked off the city's mayoral debate in a heated exchange on Wednesday after Pratt called Bass "an incredible liar," and claimed she misguided Angelenos about the facts of the Palisades Fire when it broke out last year. CBS News' @JonVigliotti, who has been closely reporting on and investigating the blaze for over a year, fact checked two key moments from the debate.

Did @LeeMZeldin or @KellyLoeffler ever respond to Palisades Fire survivors? After EO 14377 was signed, federal officials claimed to be "accessible" to fire survivors. This survey documents the experience of residents without celebrity privilege. forms.gle/9ABLphL5FTH1TXBH7

At the 97th Academy Awards, @TheAcademy awarded @LAFD for the 2025 Palisades Fire with a standing ovation. After receiving evidence of their failure, the Oscars refused the request to honor those who died.

The bandwagon is running out of room! LA will quickly settle (see Fesia Davenport 2025 $2M settlement from LA County for "Embarrassment") in effort to silence Kristin Crowley and seal more evidence in the Palisades Fire lawsuits.
Former LAFD Fire Chief Kristin Crowley has filed a lawsuit against the City of L.A. alleging Mayor Karen Bass fired her as part of a coverup to "divert scrutiny from Bass' decisions and to avoid accountability" for the Palisades Fire. Crowly alleges Bass never told her she would be out of the country during the predicted extreme fire weather event on Jan. 7th and ignored her repeated warnings that the City's $17.6M budget cuts severely limited the LAFD's capacity to prepare for and respond to large-scale emergenices like wildfires. @SenRickScott @spencerpratt @AleneTchek @houmanhemmati @Hotshot_Movie @JeremyCom Link to copy of Crowley's Complaint: dropbox.com/scl/fi/cr2aa386x…

Never forget that there is no record of hurricane-force winds on Jan 7 2025 during the initial 6 hour impact phase of the Palisades Fire; however, there is recorded evidence of a blizzard in the same location falsely claimed as having those high winds.

The Hon. Samantha Jessner just issued her final order overruling the demurrer by the City of Los Angeles in its entirety and overruling the State's demurrer on all counts except the 3rd cause of action (dangerous condition - vacant lots) and 4th cause of action (public nuisance - vacant lots). The Court adopted its tentative rulings issued last Tuesday. This is a huge victory for the Palisades Fire victims and means our case can now move forward into the discovery phase. @spencerpratt @JeremyCom @Hotshot_Movie @AleneTchek @jenvanlaar

Newsom has been to Europe more times than the Palisades in the last year.
I don’t understand why @CAGovernor Newsom can make time to go to Munich, but not show up for victims of the Palisades wildfire who are still waiting for answers.

LAFD removed the Palisades Fire AARR from their official site. If anyone needs a copy of what was deleted: firerebuild.s3.amazonaws.com…

Facts are a lower priority to LAFD when their PR is more focused on: - Standing Ovation at the 2025 Grammy Awards - Standing Ovation at the 2025 Oscars - Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Does anyone have a contact for EO 14377 who actually responds to emails or answers phone calls? @realDonaldTrump @LeeMZeldin @KellyLoeffler

This is the scene in our documentary Hotshot that screwed it from getting sold at Netflix and HBO, and it's probably the most important for people to see. Our film implores Californians that if they clear their brush, they actually have a shot of withstanding an 85mph firestorm, and obsessing over climate is a distraction (when it comes to wildfire)...we show that throughout history, we've always had massive fires, and they actually used to be worse, even way back when the climate was "optimal", and everyone screaming "unprecedented" just doesn't know their fire history. When we were in negotiations, these production companies didn't like that message, and wanted us to re-edit the film to make it climate-focused. We pushed back and told them "being climate-focused is why CA is in the mess that it's in...and continuing to ignore the dire fuels problem means that there's going to be another massive fire that nukes everything, and when everybody's watching their Teslas burning in their Malibu garage covered in solar panels...nobody's going to understand why it happened." They didn't like that. Well, here we are. I didn't re-cut the film. I left it as-is and released it independently. I really wish that this cult-like activism hadn't poisoned Hollywood. I really wish people had listened. I feel like Cassandra with a mustache and I legit lose hair over it. Oh well. Hollywood is dead, anyway.

The Franklin Fire Saved Malibu. This photo illustrates the critical importance of brush clearance. Without the Franklin Fire’s burn scar (which acted as brush clearance), the Palisades Fire would have destroyed all of Malibu and beyond. More info at: FireRebuild.com
