[@niksmaithy6929]

great for what ??? for his tweets for no crasefire in thr gaza an no sympathy for for the genocide happening he can eat his own words karma

[@ThemStarliteKids]

he cried like a fucking hctib on live TV..... today was a good day!

[@TheSweetnsalty1]

We love you James and are so sorry for the loss of your home.

[@JoeCrow5542]

I heard him describe it as their beautiful little house is gone. That personally breaks my heart. I’m praying for you Woods family.

[@ThemStarliteKids]

nahhh..... we really don't.... this was Karma at its most AWESOME!

[@befluentAcademy]

I am so satisfied because he got what he deserves .. For saying no ceasefire in Gaza .. Now he needs ceasefire in his house 😂😂

[@rachelbyington463]

I am so sorry to hear about this. James Woods is a patriot in addition to being a brilliant actor. Prayers out to him and his beloved wife and anyone else affected by these horrible fires.

[@niksmaithy6929]

really ????? i guess its karma when he has no sympathy for palistinians having to suffer a genocide being commited and he said that in his tweets your all living in a bubble disguating comments u have posted im sick of anybody that critices israel they get banned

[@ELDemonio.Jehová]

The Fire is Anti-Semitic 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

[@capistrano99]

Karma back to you

[@sbarr6677]

I love James Woods. Thanks for your kind words and I agree. Prayers for all in LA and this catastrophic event.

[@hilarymiseroy]

@niksmaithy6929 The rest of the Arab World has very little sympathy for the Palestinians as they know they are the architects of their own misfortune.

[@juliebecker9574]

He doesn’t sound bitter , this is common sense. Most Californians are mortified by our “false” leadership.

[@mt-ec4uf]

But Californians keep voting for these idiot Democrats...and they will probably continue.

[@jbman1983]

Most Californians voted for these leadership failures. Those not mortified are the sensible ones who didn't vote for these clowns who are sinking the state of CA.

So sorry for your loss James. It's not being bitter James you have every right to be angry 🤬

lol. Wood is a crybaby. he advocate for genocide and those gazans have no homes. Wood is a poosy

[@janiskerker]

My daughter lost her home in the Palisades, she has a husband, 3 children and a dog. I had to evacuate my home in La Canada and now the looters are coming. I want you to remember the Dems defunded the police in Los Angeles

[@soniag4516]

And Karen stopoed the water that could have saved the houses & people who have perished! Just like LAHAINA & PARADISE!!!

[@Trinkengine]

LAPD’s budget was INCREASED for fiscal year 2024-2025 by $126 Million. They currently have a 1.98 BILLION dollar budget for this year

What? Wtf does LAPD's budget have to do with this, exactly?

Glad you and your wife are safe Mr. Woods. So sorry about your home 🙏🏻

[@robinwhitmire8250]

I find the timing of insurance cancellations and this disaster troubling.

[@immortaltyger1569]

Part of the problem is California preventing insurance companies from raising their rates, so some companies are walking away from California, or certain parts of this state - especially those in greater danger of fire.

[@seansky2721]

Fire insurance was canceled as a reaction to the Mayor's cutting LAFD's budget by 17.3 million dollars.

[@immortaltyger1569]

@@seansky2721 That wouldn't surprise me. Any official word on why the fire department ran out of water in some areas?

[@journeymanplayer7459]

When voters do the wrong thing, then companies and citizens ultimately have no choice but to flee all the hazards created from incompetence, neglected infrastructure, cuts to public safety, mismanagement, and the willful repurposing, (looting), of public funds for re-formulated marxism and woke identity politics. Many people in Los Angeles just learned these incompetent stooges have no problem watching citizens perish and property being destroyed as long as a far-left political agenda gets advanced. Unacceptable. Unforgivable.

[@patriciaseyfferle1427]

People hate insurance companies until they need the insurance. They can’t make a profit when the cost to repair or replace is higher than the local laws allow them to charge for premiums, and the risk of loss is 100%! No company can afford to do that.

[@tinebino]

Thank you Megyn, that you let him talk and dont interrupt him as other News Networks have - they made it about them! you dont - you make it about your guest - Classy Megyn and Classy James Woods ♥

Mr. Woods I’m sitting here just sobbing for you and your wife and the loss of your beautiful home. I’m so very sorry that you had to lose something so precious due to the willful incompetent ignorance of the head of the fire department. God bless you and your lovely wife and I just pray that you would find solace in your friends and family that are all alive and well at this time and again I’m so very sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your personal insight with Us ❤❤

[@sergeipohkerova7211]

The ones mocking him for his loss are the same compassionate, "right side of history" crowd who are perpetually offended when someone doesn't correctly guess their preferred pronoun or thinks that babies have the right to LIVE.

[@glowgirl8171]

WHO's mocking him? is there a link?

[@kweaver1965]

Who the hell is mocking him?! Also I think that babies have a right to live! Unlike you who thinks that abortion is a form of birth control!!

[@sergeipohkerova7211]

​@@kweaver1965 The woke crowd is mocking him and saying it's karma for his conservative beliefs. I understand you're very passionate but I think you need to read more carefully, because I'm on the same side as you regarding kids and life.

Same as Seattle...it's really the excluded & Marxist banishment. If you don't speak it, believe it & live it...your dirt

[@matthewwade920]

Exactly - Woods insists on being part of the diverse Hollywood movement to "include" different political points of view. if he would just concentrate on his acting instead of insisting on being a diversity hire he might get some work.

[@jenikaufman4945]

I’m so sorry, James. 😢

James I feel bad about your circumstances and hear your logical criticism of the incompetent leadership, but it's never going to change. I hear people like Bill Maher whining about the incompetent California political system, but in the same breath he swears he'll never vote Republican. That is the common mentality of the California "elite' voter.

May God bless you James Woods, your family, friends, and neighbors to give you the strength and fortitude to get through this and rebuild. I have always thought the world of you as an actor, and even more as a really good person, especially after you spoke out about 9/11, and now this horrible disaster. I'm praying with Fr. Rocky on the Family Rosary Across America, and fellow Christians, Catholics and whoever wants to pray, every evening at 5:00 pm for divine intervention to stop the fires.

[@tammymiller4789]

He’s right the mayor should be arrested for dereliction of duty and jailed

[@benicio1967]

James, I feel your complete and utter anguish to my core. Everything you’ve expressed is so justified.

Went from 30-acre remote farm to a cramped camp trailer, overwintering on a friend's property until I can go back and find something else. DESPAIR? Shuddup me. Now I thank God for the blessings. 3 cats jammed in here is annoying but they're fine. My possessions are stacked in a corral but they EXIST. Condolences to all and Mr. Woods? You're an inspiration at this time. Godspeed.

Sounds like the Insurance Companies "Knew" something was coming.

[@mvc9178]

I hate to defend an insurance company, but they DID know a fire was coming. They knew because, like James Woods stated “people weren’t clearing dry underbrush” or doing what’s necessary to prevent a large fire. Would you put up billions of dollars, and your entire companies solvency for lazy people not willing to do what’s needed to prevent their homes from burning to ash…

[@jjmckay6man1]

yeah the state basically set it all up with their green agenda not allowing brush to be removed and proper fire prevention done. newscum set the insurance companies up by price fixing them so if they didn't cancel when the fire that was gonna happen came they would go bankrupt. 3/4ths of california is desert of course there are gonna be huge fires there always have been since people settled there. they wouldn't let the reservoirs be filled because it would kill some minnows if they diverted the water that came down from canada so they just let it flow into the ocean. The insurance companies cancelled the policies months before these fires.
