    Interesting, but NO. Please do some checking before posting all-out lies.

    Amazon is committing $10 million to relief efforts in addition to continuing to provide essential items through its Disaster Relief hubs.

    Apple is donating to LA wildfire relief efforts and will let impacted Apple Card users postpone their payments.

    A simple search shows all donations. Oh, and Snopes says this...

    No Evidence Taylor Swift Donated $10M to California Wildfire Fund

    He was arrested and released apparently without bail. Carrying a torch and lighting old Christmas trees on fire during a disaster is not enough evident to confine him.

    I am SO glad to hear from you, @Joy Martin ! We all knew that you lived in the area where the fires were happening, and have been really hoping that you were okay.
    Stay safe, my Friend, and check in with us as you are able to. We h ave been hearing that internet connection has been wiped out in many places also, and that Elon Musk has sent people down there with his Starlink WiFi connection to help out.

    Biden has backed off from saying the Feds would reimburse all the fire victims in LA to today's briefing that said they would each get $775 for their loss. He almost had a riot in thee White House briefing room this morning, as the liberal media care a whole lot more about California than North Carolina. At least the $775 is a bump up from what was given to North Carolinians' $750.
