If the Palisades Fire had started 12 hours earlier, in the middle of the night, the loss of life could have been catastrophic. Thousands of families were forced to make life-or-death decisions in a matter of minutes even in daylight. We drove out of the Palisades at 3pm without any obvious police presence, the sound of not a single firetruck or ambulance, nobody directing traffic. What if that had happened at 3am? It raises difficult questions. Would residents have been left banging on neighbors’ doors to wake them as flames raced through our communities? And if the outcome had been measured not just in destroyed homes or 12 lives, but in thousands of lives lost, would our elected leaders, specifically Mayor Bass, still be asking voters for another term? Because if this extraordinary gross negligence had happened 12 hours earlier… I can’t imagine the loss of life.

BREAKING NEWS: Voting in Los Angeles is computerized. Counting and verifying votes is not automated. I don’t understand this system. A human NEVER touched my vote. Computer could have tabulated on the spot?! But let me spoil it. Spencer Pratt and Mayor Bass runoff incoming.

On Election Day, let’s RECAP this inept mess of a Los Angeles / Palisades Fire debacle. Gross negligence - ✔️ Criminal negligence - ?! Mayor Bass - Ghana despite clear warnings. Erased all texts. Conspired with LAFD to alter After Action Report. Oversaw team defined by inaction, ineptitude and negligence. Claimed total immunity. Failed. Appealed. Failed. Deputy Mayor of Emergency Services Williams - Indicted for bomb threat to city hall. Convicted. Director of Office of Emergency Management - Asleep. “Quit” 2 weeks later. Fire Chief Crowley - Fired by Mayor Bass in public falling out for failing to adequately prepare and deploy resources before the fire. Suing the City of Los Angeles and claims her firing by Karen Bass was wrongful, retaliatory, and politically motivated. Scapegoat. Governor Newsom - Has provided “no responsive answers” to any Pacific Palisades search of his communications for 2025. Claimed immunity for the state. Failed. Takes no accountability. Blames the wind, climate change despite an understaffed / underfunded emergency response team. Fire started on state ground on 1/1. State protected plants > people. City / State rolled the dice and didn’t comprehensively fight or even observe a fire that burned for 6-7 days. Promised $2.5 billion to the burn area days after fire. Misappropriated or misallocated according to NBCLA. Los Angeles Fire Department - Fire engines, strike teams, and aerial resources were insufficiently pre-positioned despite clear red-flag warnings. Up to 40% of fire apparatus was unavailable due to maintenance and upkeep issues. Conspired with Mayor Bass to alter After Action Report according to LA Times reporting. Los Angeles Department of Water and Power - Santa Ynez reservoir empty for over 12 months due to a $200,000 cover fix. Water system feeding Pacific Palisades had inadequate storage and pressure redundancy for a worst-case wildfire scenario. Hydrants ran low quickly. Almost all hydrants remain closed as you drive through the Palisades burn area. Never accessed! Los Angeles Emergency Management Department – The city’s disaster coordination structure functioned ineffectively as evacuations began and fire conditions escalated rapidly. Limited coordination. If this had happened 12 hours earlier perhaps thousands would have died in Palisades alone. California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection – Forest mismanagement, fuel reduction pace limited and wildfire strategies not keeping up with fire incidents. CLEAR THE BRUSH! California Public Utilities Commission – Frequently criticized for regulatory oversight of wildfire risk tied to infrastructure, fueling a broader debate about accountability across California’s fire-prone landscape. National Weather Service – Issued severe red-flag warnings ahead of the fire; Those warnings didn’t translate into aggressive enough pre-incident action by local agencies. Will every allegation prove to be true? Perhaps. We’re so early that I believe we’re barely scratching the surface as our legal team fights for information and discovery…. These allegations stated above WILL LIKELY PROVE TO BE the greatest UNNATURAL DISASTER of all time. Not just the most expensive. But also the most avoidable. In addition - the city and state that burned us down plan to take FULL STATE AND LOCAL TAX on the rebuild. $5 BILLION across the burn area. Unjust enrichment. They quite literally let us burn.

The Palisades Fire forced people to make life-changing decisions in minutes. Not hours. Not days. Minutes. After securing humans and pets, families grabbed medications, passports, photo albums, and whatever else they could carry before leaving homes they had spent decades building. There was no time to carefully weigh options or create a plan. People simply made the best decisions they could with the information they had at the moment. And with virtually NO EMERGENCY RESPONSE. Not a single police car, ambulance or fire truck directing traffic or saving lives from my drive in or out of the Palisades. They were there. Just so few that I experienced not a single one! This was an almost total meltdown of a municipality from planning, to precaution, to prevention, to terrible choices, followed by massive coverup including all Mayor Bass texts erased, a manipulated after action fire report, misdirection about climate or weather in an attempt to mitigate scrutiny, hidden discovery and then a failed claim for immunity. Awful stuff. That reality is why I try not to judge the choices others made during those chaotic hours OR the choices they make today 17 months after the fire. Chaos. Manipulation. Gaslighting. Most saved NOTHING. Despite clear indicators of little to no emergency help, we believed in the system. Surely, they wouldn’t fail entirely. Some saved family heirlooms. Some grabbed hard drives full of memories. Others went back for a treasured car, artwork, or collection. When faced with the possibility of losing everything, people cling to the things that represent a lifetime of work, passion, and memories. The Palisades Fire wasn’t just about property loss… it was a series of impossible decisions made under extraordinary pressure, with no way of knowing what would survive and what wouldn’t. And a complete and total failure of our government and leadership. Jeremy Padawer Pacificpalisades.com #losangeles #fire #fail #porsche #fyp @Hotshot_Movie @spencerpratt @415FirePhoto

Let’s not judge one another based on who we vote for. One of the greatest strengths of this country is that we have a choice of differing viewpoints. When only one viewpoint is permitted, that viewpoint almost always belongs to those in power. So vote for your candidate. Exercise your right to support the person you believe in. And at the same time, continue demanding accountability from our elected leaders. Both can be true. In fact, both should be true. I wish you good health, a clear mind, and peace. And no matter what you do, regardless of party, hold your leaders accountable when they fail. Jeremy Padawer Pacificpalisades.com

No matter who you vote for LA Mayor, please don't lose sight of holding Mayor Bass, the City of Los Angeles, and the State of California accountable for their gross negligence and overall incompetence surrounding the Palisades Fire. We are all victims of the same failures. We've all been misled, manipulated, and gaslit. Moreover, let's not judge one another based on who we vote for.

If the $2.5 BILLION in promised Fire Aid had been distributed directly to the 20,000 fire impacted households, each household would have received $125,000. That would have made a huge impact in so many lives.

$2.5 BILLION in Fire Aid was promised by Governor Newsom in the days after the fire. Almost ALL was misappropriated or missing - never has been apportioned to fire victims in Alta Dena, Pacific Palisades and the burn area. This investigative report by NBC LA is must see! The lies. The negligence. The pain in that wake for the burn area. Beyond belief. And real. @415FirePhoto @Hotshot_Movie @spencerpratt

@415FirePhoto Short answer - Yes. Longer answer - Absodiddlilutely!

Governor Newsom endorses Mayor Bass DAYS AFTER the City of Los Angeles lawsuit against State of California quietly dismissed... What a coincidence! Jeremy Padawer PacificPalisades.com @spencerpratt @415FirePhoto @Hotshot_Movie

Last Friday the City of Los Angeles quietly dismissed its cross-complaint against the State of California in the Palisades Fire Litigation. Today, Newsom endorsed Bass. Did Bass just throw the taxpayers under the bus by dismissing the City's legal ability to seek indemnity from

Rolling Stone is essentially arguing that America has enormous self confidence while being good at virtually nothing. Ironically, the very reason they’re allowed to say that so openly is because America is good. The Constitution protects free speech even when the speech is annoying, mocking, hostile, unfair, or politically inconvenient. A weak country fears criticism. A strong country tolerates it. That freedom, messy as it can be, is one of America’s greatest strengths.

COMMENTARY: Pratt is a quintessential American. His entire life has been fueled by an unfathomable level of self-confidence, despite a data set that suggests he may not be good at anything. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

Dear LA Times, it is NOT “safer in Los Angeles than it has been in decades.” That line only works if you ignore the number of people who have simply stopped reporting non-violent crime. When your home is burglarized and it takes an hour or more for police to show up, people stop reporting. When your car is broken into and you know nobody is coming quickly, people stop reporting. When filing an insurance claim might raise your rates or jeopardize your coverage altogether, people stop reporting. So the official numbers may go down, but that does not mean crime went down. It may mean trust went down. It may mean response times went up. It may mean the system trained citizens to absorb the loss quietly. THIS IS NOT SAFETY.  This is surrender. In the Pacific Palisades, we had 1 POLICE CAR for 27,000 people because our non-violent crimes were considered secondary... those included forced break-ins.   On the day of the fire, we had no police sirens.  At 3:30pm driving through the Palisades, we had nobody visibly directing traffic.

I’m probably 10% alien at this point because I believe party politics have almost no impact at the local level… despite constant barrage of reminders otherwise. I’ve become friends with Spencer Pratt over the last years and one thing that honestly stands out to me is that in all of our conversations, I’ve never heard him frame things through party politics. Ever. The conversations are always about problems. How do we fix this? Who is accountable? Why wasn’t this maintained? Why are people waiting so long? How do communities rebuild faster? How do we protect families better next time? That’s it. And the more I think about it, the more I realize that’s how local leadership SHOULD work. Why are potholes political? Why is fixing sidewalks political? Why is clearing brush before fire season political? Why is water infrastructure political? Why is speeding up permits political? Why is synchronizing traffic lights political? Why is rebuilding communities after disasters political? Especially after living through what happened in Pacific Palisades, so much of the noise just feels irrelevant to me now. Fire does not care about labels. Empty reservoirs do not care about narratives. Delayed rebuilding does not care about talking points. Families who lost everything are not standing in front of burned homes arguing ideology. They are asking whether somebody was prepared, whether somebody failed, and whether somebody is finally going to fix it. At the local level, competence and accountability should matter infinitely more than teams and slogans. We are constantly manipulated by issues we have zero control over. Fix Los Angeles.

Check your voter registration. Today is the LAST DAY to update your address in the LA system. I checked and updated. If you’ve been displaced by the Newsom Bass Negligence Fire, it’s possible they’ve removed your ability to vote in the Los Angeles Mayoral election. You can remedy this!! PLEASE SHARE THIS. 5/18 is the LAST DAY to ensure address change. Jeremy Padawer Pacificpalisades.com @spencerpratt @415FirePhoto @Hotshot_Movie

@dpeck100 I’m wearing it right now.

This is offensive, Governor Newsom. The state of California is currently withholding key discovery in the Palisades fire. The state and city claimed immunity, lost at the trial and appellate level. Despite this, the state refuses to provide complete discovery with the next court date 5/20. Moreover, our Mayor deleted her texts from January 2025 and the Governor has provided no responsive texts or emails surrounding the Palisades fire. There is no roadmap for the rebuild. Not a single power line buried, no additional emergency response hired, emergency vehicles still in disrepair, reservoirs still empty, dry brush still unresolved, $100 million in fire aid not provided to the citizens, and Palisades fire victims of the state and city still must pay $5 BILLION estimated in state and local taxes for the rebuild. As YOUR fire victim, I’ve seen almost nothing. So. No. This is absolute gaslighting. 10X?! People died because of this extraordinary lack of grip on reality. In the end, the truth will come out. The complicit misdirection, untruths and purposeful misinformation. Sincerely, Jeremy Padawer Pacificpalisades.com @spencerpratt @415FirePhoto @Hotshot_Movie

California is putting out $30 million in new grants for regional wildfire and landscape resilience efforts across the state. It's a component part of our extraordinary fire prevention work, which has 10x'd since I took office as governor in 2019.
