Things don't seem to be getting much better for Californians affected by January's horrific wildfires. Virtually no homes have been rebuilt, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom appears too busy getting ready to run for president in 2028 to help his constituents in the rebuilding process. Being the people Americans are, they immediately stepped up to help in any way they could, including donating money. A star-studded benefit concert, "FireAid," took place at the end of January, raising nearly $100 million. However, the whereabouts of those funds has raised many questions, including about FireAid's promise to distribute funds "equitably."

FireAid's Millions Excluded White Victims, Says Report | https://t.co/7HfE1pxSoH https://t.co/IIV1cJfNFG
In July, I reported on the "complicated" situation surrounding the FireAid concert and the huge amount of money it raised. At that point, it had been seven months since the fire, and residents were asking, "Where's the money?" Investigative journalist Sue Pascoe discovered that funds did not directly go to fire victims, but to a vast network of nonprofit organizations. Information began to surface on who a few of these nonprofit organizations were that, remember, were tasked with helping fire victims. But their "task" appeared more like promoting left-wing issues and causes.

Of course, we know that one of those left-wing causes is "equity." Sure enough, in February, FireAid announced that it would distribute the money raised "equitably." Gee, what could go wrong there? Plenty if you happen to be a white fire victim. FireAid distributed $4.8 million to Greenline Housing Foundation. On its website, the foundation states that its mission is "providing down payment grants, financial education, and home maintenance assistance to qualified Black and Hispanic people." Simply put, no white people need apply. In an interview with the Washington Free Beacon, the foundation made the obligatory statement that while "anyone is welcome to apply for and receive" funds specifically for fire victims, however, "In order to qualify for a grant through Greenline Housing Foundation, applicants must be a Black or Hispanic person."
The discrimination rolls merrily along. The Black Freedom Fund, a Black Lives Matter spinoff nonprofit, whose mission is to fight "systemic racism" and promote "Black power-building," received $7.6 million designated as "disaster relief." In a 2023 grant proposal, the group stated they would only assist groups "led and controlled by Black people" and "primarily serving Black people." They seem nice...

Groups like Greenline Housing Foundation and the Black Freedom Fund received funds while promoting agendas that focus solely on "Black and Brown communities." FireAid's distribution raises serious questions about accountability and the true beneficiaries of these donations.
It's no secret how much California loves illegal immigrants, and they were certainly not excluded from receiving funds meant for fire victims. The Alliance for a Better Community not only received funds from a "disaster relief pool," but also got an additional $5.9 million meant for "continued relief for wildfire victims and communities." The Alliance then distributed money to an offshoot called The Fuerza Fund, which, on its website, states they are "doubling down on [its] commitment to immigrant and undocumented families." They go on to state:
"Now more than ever, we are doubling down on our commitment to immigrant and undocumented families—to ensure they are not just surviving, but reclaiming safety, power, and peace of mind."
The Fuerza Fund is also focused on "confronting the fear caused by raids and displacement." I'll ask again for what seems like the one hundredth time: what does any of this have to do with wildfire and disaster relief?
Sadly, there is more, but you get the picture. There are people from every walk of life who have lost everything they own, everything they have worked hard for for decades. What kind of ghoul, void of a soul, do you have to be to decide who is allowed to rebuild their lives based on skin color? The answer is the same people who advocated for race-based medical care during the pandemic. Imagine the superiority complex you have to have to be able to determine whose lives should be rebuilt or not, or even who lives or dies, based on skin color?
Dr. King would be amazed at how right he was. We can absolutely judge these people not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character, and that content isn't pretty.
FireAid, the millions of dollars raised to help the victims of the 2025 California wildfires have ended up in the coffers of unrelated non-profits pushing a variety of liberal causes.

Most of the money is going to illegal aliens, and black and brown communities with white people being explicitly excluded from the services. Approximately $100M was raised which went to 160 California non-profits.
We are in a struggle for the very existence of our Constitution. Individual rights, such as gun ownership and freedom from involuntary medical experimentation, are under attack.
