When you’re right, you’re RIGHT !
This guy seems to have been an excellent choice for the job.
Remember when Obama ignored the flooding in Nashville, likely because it is generally Republican/Conservative? Yeah, I suspect Democrats still don’t care about that.
How do you fight Forest Fire?
Prevent Them!
Logging and Forestry Management!
I suspect there is collusion between the enviroweenie activists (who prevent forest maintenance) and Islamic saboteurs (who set fires). The mantra has been “old-growth forests should be inviolate”, with the resultant massive growth of combustible material. What better way to cause the US to spend mucho dinero that might be used, for instance, to combat Islamism.
He’s absolutely right.
California is a prime example.
They’d rather have wild fires than loggers.
Cut the dry underbrush? Good God Almighty! NEVER!
I live in north Idaho. We are living through our third summer in a row of unhealthy air due to wildfire smoke from California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. Those areas sure as hell are not run by conservatives!
Secretary Zinke is spot on in his statements. Trees are a crop and should be managed as such. Certain areas of ancient forest could be set aside for preservation for the environmentalist pearl clutchers. The rest should be harvested every 20-40 years depending on tree species. Selective harvesting keeps the trees healthy and more resistant to fires and produces better quality lumber for building.
Shoot them. Arsonists through the years have killed large numbers of people.
