The death toll from the wildfires that ravaged the resort town of Lahaina on the island of Maui has risen to 80, Maui county officials wrote in an overnight update. Firefighters are still working to contain fires in Lahaina, Pulehu/Kihei, and Upcountry Maui. Joe Biden is still pushing $40 billion for Ukraine and illegal aliens. Hopefully, he’ll get to Maui soon, other than saying he’s there for them.
Meanwhile, leftists insist the fires were caused by climate change. They don’t have evidence.
No, they weren’t.
They’ve had a dry spell and hurricane winds which accelerated the problem. That doesn’t mean they were the cause or the fires. It doesn’t mean the fires were unavoidable.
Last year, a firebug(s) on the loose, and the culprit(s) were never caught. Yet, no one suspects arson. The NY Times, the Hawaiian Governor, Senator Merkley, and others insist climate change is the cause.
Experts say it’s human caused. Most – 80% – of fires are human caused. In Hawaii’s case, they poorly manage their brush and agriculture, including the increasing number of flammable, non-native grasses.
So, the leftists jump to climate change. As far as the governor, he can’t be blamed if it’s climate change. Some in the media are blaming Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump.
There is no evidence that the elite warning system was turned on.
HMM: Hawaii emergency management records show no indication that warning sirens were triggered.
Hawaii has the largest outdoor all-hazard public safety warning system in the world, with about 400 sirens positioned across the island to alert people to natural disasters and other…

Miraculously, the Catholic Church is still standing in the destroyed town of Lahaina.
Incredible.
The Maria Lanakila Catholic Church remained untouched by fires that destroyed most of the town in Maui. pic.twitter.com/C03c7WP2Zh

WHY DIDN’T THE FIRE PLAN INCLUDE THE WARNING SYSTEM AND MANAGEMENT OF FLAMMABLE NON-NATIVE PLANTS?
They should have had a fire plan that included the alarm system, aggressive searches for arsonists, and programs to deal with flammable non-native grasses, which cover 25% of
They didn’t seem to have any of that. Mismanagement, criminality, and ineptitude are guiltier than the climate.
Forbes reports:
Clay Trauernicht, a fire ecology specialist at the University of Hawaii, Manoa, told the New York Times this week that one thing that helps the fires spread is an overgrowth of non-native grasses that are more flammable than native plants that make the islands “incredibly vulnerable.”

MOST RECENT UPDATE
On Friday afternoon, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green (D) told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that it could take weeks to sift through Lahaina’s “rubble and ashes” to get a final death toll.
“Over the course of the next week, we’ll get as close to a complete assessment as possible.
“Starting tomorrow, we will see a lot more certainty about how many individuals perished,” Green said.
The governor continued:
“Sometimes in natural disasters, or essentially wartime disasters [or arson or mismanagement], and it does look like a war zone where Lahaina is concerned, you will sometimes discover later that someone has perished because it was burned to the ground.”
So far, the Maui fire is the second-deadliest in the US in the last 100 years, but it could soon be the deadliest if the death toll surpasses the 2018 Camp Fire in Northern California that killed 85 people.
Firefighters continue working to extinguish flare-ups and contain fires in Lahaina, Pulehu/Kihei, and Upcountry Maui.
On Friday, a total of 1,418 people were at emergency evacuation shelters at War Memorial Gymnasium, Hannibal Tavares Community Center, Maui High School, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Maui Lani, Kings Cathedral Church, and Grace Bible Church.
And where is that lying, senile, little girl fondling piece of human AdamSchitt that some call our president? Stumbling around on the beach in Delaware. This ignorant completely useless moron could not care less about the people of Maui. Does the idiot even know about the fires in Maui?
poor forest management + climate terrorists + box of matches = natural disaster
Right, climate activists, it’s climate change. Here’s your challenge to enact some meaningful policies to curb it that are proposed by all of you climate change activists and Democrat politicians. It would be easy for Hawaii to have these policies being a small group of islands about 2000 miles for the mainland. Ban all fossil fuels, make all vehicles electric, ban all commercial flights into Hawaii unless the aircraft is solar powered. And don’t allow ships to dock either, unless they don’t use fossil fuels for power. So what if Hawaii’s $48M/day tourist industry would dry up. Money means nothing if the climate is burning up. It’s the climate, stupid, be the poster boys to prove how all the climate change policies will enrich our lives.
I lived there for six years. There is not a doubt in my mind that this was arson. Not your kids with a book of matches arson but organized AntiFa, Deep State, CCP arson.
In 2009, an Army Corps of Engineers Engineer over drained Lake Lanier by over a billion gallons of water during the dry summer season. Then they screamed Global Warming for months. Homeowners around the lake noted that the levels dropped within a few days and investigate to find that it was actually sabotage (Oopsie. I read the gauge wrong). Even after that discovery, the claim was still Global Warming!!! (They were not going to go off script)
The Left are desperate and will not surrender. Between now and the 2024 election, expect the unexpected.
Fires
Floods
Pandemics
Riots
Strikes
Bombings
UFOs
War
That monsoor dude is right. They should have NEVER been housed at gitmo on tax payer $. Short trip and… well the sharks and crabs need some eats too.AS for the fires on Mao mao Thats prsident DJT,s fault too. Bring another charge for poor land management on the mao
Let’s see climate change zealots started fires in Canada and Greece, I wonder if they did it in Maui too? Or will they just blame it on climate change and Outlaw oil gas and coal?
BS, those fires were started by kids playing with magnifying glasses. Look it up kids
LOOK at the photos and videos. These were STRUCTURE FIRES. Greenery everywhere is scorched and wilted perhaps, but it’s STILL STANDING. In one video cars are completely torched next to building foundations (the only thing left) while TREES STILL HAVE PALM LEAVES ON THEM mere feet from the carnage. LOOK – it’s a remake of the fires in Palestine California writ large. This was no ordinary arson, brush fire, or hurricane. This was a large scale arson by some monster with the ability to destroy real estate, and blame it on someone else. LOOK at it, and THINK. Nobody with a lighter and a can of gasoline did this, and it sure didn’t travel across the grassy fields to hit what it hit either.
Come on Mr. D these gentile ppl are protesting the big climate changy thing. ( i like to call it planetary EVOLUTION) are burning it to build back better. They won,t be around for the bb part but libs are not that smart.
Please spred the planet evolution theory far and wide. Lets counter their dreams even further.
