California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency on Saturday, aiming to fast-track brush clearance months after wildfires torched Los Angeles communities, per a Breitbart report. The proclamation, cutting red tape like CEQA and the Coastal Act, comes too late to halt the Palisades and Eaton fires’ devastation, per the March 2 story. For conservatives, this is a glaring failure—Trump’s America First push proves proactive beats reactive every time.

Newsom’s office touted the move, admitting its post-fire timing without apology.

“Following the devastation of the Los Angeles firestorms and with the risk of wildfire increasing statewide,” he said, “this emergency proclamation will cut bureaucratic red tape that is slowing down critical forest management projects.”

The delay’s cost is stark—fires ravaged Pacific Palisades after years of ignored brush, per Breitbart, with locals blaming Newsom’s inaction despite Trump’s calls for clearance. Capital Public Radio’s 2021 exposé showed his wildfire prevention claims were hollow, per the report.

This fiasco follows Trump’s Thursday border wins, slashing illegal crossings over 90%, per Border Patrol data, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s Gitmo deportations, per her “Hannity” remarks.

“We have hundreds of thousands of criminals that were let illegally into this country,” Noem said. “That means they have criminal records. They’ve perpetuated crimes in this country.”

Posts on X buzzed—one user wrote, “Newsom’s too late—Trump knew brush clearance mattered!” Another added, “Fires burn while Gavin fiddles—pathetic!”

Republicans see this as a lifeline. Biden’s tenure let deficits soar past $35 trillion, per Treasury data, while inflation—up 20% since 2021, per BLS—hit families, and California’s fire prep floundered, per Fox. Trump’s January 20 “emergency price relief” memo, DOGE’s $55 billion cuts, and last week’s fentanyl fight, per Fox, signal the fix—cut waste, secure borders, and act fast.

Democrats deflected, with Newsom mocking Trump’s brush focus—now belatedly followed, per Breitbart—while fires raged. Too bad—conservatives see this as a leadership flop, not a debate. Legal battles loom, with over 70 suits targeting Trump’s moves—like a Thursday block on Education records—but Republicans stand tall. With Congress pushing reconciliation and FBI Director Kash Patel releasing Epstein files, the GOP’s ready to back Trump’s vision, ensuring America’s safety prevails, as voters demanded in 2024.

Newsom’s order leans on private firms and controlled burns—Trump’s playbook—after years of neglect, per the report. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ February DOGE task force and USDA Secretary Brooke L. Rollins’ SNAP crackdown show state-federal alignment. With DHS troops at the border and Noem’s raids, conservatives rally to expose this delay, ensuring America’s heartland dodges California’s fate.

This late wake-up is a fierce win for America, spotlighting Trump’s foresight over Newsom’s fumble.
