    As in all Nordic countries, residents of Greenland have the right to free education, healthcare that is free at point of use, including prescription medicine.

    Being a part of Denmark has some real plus points. The level of inequality will soar if the US gets its claws in.

    So the National Guard is going to fight fires. What idiotic thinking is this?

    You declare a state of emergency and mobilize fire fighters in order to combat forest fires -- which Newsom has done. Additionally you get a federal state of emergency declared and mobilize FEMA and provide Fire Management Assistance Grants -- which Biden has done.

    Tell us when California is facing civil unrest and then the National Guard can be called up.

    All we see Trump doing is calling Newsom names and pushing the narrative that California residents deserve to burn.

    All of that is being successfully handled by state and local authorities at this time -- as outlined in the information releases and the local news reporting.

    Explain to us exactly how the National Guard will help in the situation. What assets can they offer? Recognize that military is already deploying fire-fighting aircraft and other equipment.

    If local or state authorities were overwhelmed to the point of civil unrest then a bunch of national guardsmen standing around with rifles might help. But we are not seeing civil unrest, a need for more security, an unanswered need to resource distribution or anything they can help with at the moment.

    Pentagon deploys Navy helicopters to California wildfires, but stresses high winds deterring efforts
    The U.S. Department of Defense is deploying ten Navy helicopters with water delivery buckets to help suppress wildfires raging across southern California.

    At a press conference Wednesday afternoon, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said the 10 Navy helicopters come in addition to the California National Guard and the Nevada Nation Guard each readying an additional two "modular air fighting system units."

    The Navy's helicopters with watery delivery buckets will "immediately assist with aerial suppression," Singh said, though adding that high winds were a deterrent.

    "It's a matter of also, can those assets get in the air? And right now, I mean, Cal Fire is - has some of the best capabilities and equipment to fight fires in California," Singh said. "We can search assets, and, and the president has directed this department to bolster whatever California needs. But we have to work with California and right now, we can't even get assets up in the air because the fires are so bad and because the winds are so bad."

    "The federal government is working closely with the National Guard, which is deployed under the governor's state of emergency declaration."

    Some claim California doesn't have four seasons. Actually they do -- they are:
    • Earthquake
    • Mudslide
    • Fire
    • Riot
