Whenever anything bad happens, too many people immediately look for someone to blame. We have seen that in the Democratic Party after the November election. We saw it in the chaos of the withdrawal from Afghanistan. We now see it in response to the terrible wildfires in Los Angeles County.

Everyone wants to be an editorial writer — who have sometimes been described as those who come on the scene of a disaster and assig

blame. Smart editorial writers wait for the facts to be uncovered by reporters before they begin to point their fingers. But the temptation is strong to hand out blame before the dust settles.

We see this in the life of Jimmy Carter, who was written off as a failure by pundits at the end of his one-term presidency.

Today, we recognize him as a man of values and integrity who, when met by insurmountable crises, took principled stands despite the political costs. Although not perfect, he was too easily panned by inside-the-beltway elites who sat on their hands rather than try to solve problems.

Likewise with the Los Angeles fires, Donald Trump, the serial liar, blames California Governor Gavin Newsom for the devastation. Others blame Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who was unlucky enough to be on her way home from Ghana in West Africa when the fires started.

The fires have been devastating for the people of Los Angeles.
