    I am seeing mixed messages about the arsonists that they are arresting, and suspects that they are still looking for. Some people are saying that at least some of the fires are being started by arsonists who are part of Antifa, and other people are saying that there is no validity to that.
    Since some of the arsonists are throwing Molotov cocktails out the windows of cars to start fires, and Antifa has also been protesting in front of the fire trucks who are trying to fight the fires, it looks to me like at least some of the arsonists are probably involved with either antifa or BLM.

    Total madness.. starting fires in sweltering temps, gale force winds and around tinder dry vegetation. Some are accidental but some others are by sicko serial arsonists.. that get their jollies out of watching fire burn.

    Pelosi says that this is Mother Nature getting back at us for Global Warming.

    I gotta think if Mother Nature starts fires because the planet is too hot, she ain't all that smart.

    Even if the law enforcement believes that Antifa (or similar organizations) is responsible for the fires, they do not necessarily want it publicized that they know and are actively searching for the arsonists as members.
    However, the evidence does point to Antifa as being a good possibility for the arson fries, for several reasons.
    For months, Antifa and BLM have been setting fires and burning down homes and businesses all across America, and threatening to “burn down the whole country” if their demands are not met.
    The police and fire department have been reporting the arsonists are using Molotov cocktail bombs to start fires, which is also something that the rioters have been doing.
    Antifa and BLM have been stopping the fire trucks who are trying to fight the fires and save lives and homes.

    Regardless of who is doing it, some of the fires are being set by arsonists driving along the highways and starting the fires, and they need to be stopped and arrested.
    Several reports are saying that some of the arsonists who have been arrested, or identified, are Antifa members; and I believe that they are involved, even if they are not the whole reason for the fires.

    Together, Mother Nature and Father Nature are doing the best they can.

    That has to be the creepiest piece of failed marketing I have ever read.

    So Father Nature is some 39 year old stay-at-home dad married to a 13,800,000,000 year old cougar who has a 5 year old daughter and "creates solar systems"????

    I don't get it. They're not some west coast outfit.

    I'll never touch another Smucker's product as long as I live.

    On one of the ad videos, Dad says to daughter "Mom's home." and it starts snowing in the kitchen.

    Your boy Romero?
    I read the article twice and nowhere does it say that the FBI qualified the incidents one way or the other BUT, they said that they didn’t want any more rumors.

    Obviously, they need facts and if there are indeed members of a political group going around setting fires or stashing fuel they need to know it and see some faces.
    As it is in nearly all criminal acts of man and natural disasters, there are going to be those who take some kind of joy by misleading the officials and the public. The problem with it, is that they overload the people responsible for the safety of the public and preservation of property to a point where nothing gets done.
    That isn’t saying that there ARE NOT some folks out there physically adding to the fires but the FBI, Police, Fire, and Sheriff’s departments need the facts and just the facts and some proof.

    To me, I think arsonists, no matter how significant or insignificant their actions might be to the whole scenario is a lot more believable than your gal Pelosi’s stupid statement regarding mother earth.
    I mean, even as a minor theologian, I would not even think of blaming the disasters on God but even that is more plausible than Pelosi’s statement.

    Come on bud, simmer down. All I am saying is that I believe the commanders on the ground actually investigating the fires.
    Romero is a wanna be politician. He ran and lost last cycle and is giving it another shot.He was called out specifically as generating these rumors based on nothing.more than hope in furthering his campaign.
    While I was googling I found his platform. Quite shallow in my opinion.
    They did not,and probably never will be able to rule out political arson, but what they said is that there is NO evidence of it. Law Enforcement, in this case their scientific branch will not speak in absolutes.That is a far cry from your conclusion.

    How is Pelosi my gal? Surely not by the mere fact that we are both Democrats? Nancy needs to retire while she still has some semblance of sense. Of course I will not argue much against her foibles,hell she is the co captain of my team. By extension your assumption leads me tp believe that you wholeheartedly and completely support and stand behind every word and motion that comes out your mans office.
    Why do you need to start a pissing match with me all the time.
    I have said time and time again that if someone posts something I find suspicious in some way, I will research,attempt to find the source,and establish the facts. That is what I do.
    You think I am an asshole? Well everyone has to be one to someone.

    And if you don't recognize that we are neck deep in climate change global warming or what ever you want to call it you need to pull your head out of the sand. Man made, natural or a combination of both, itis happening!

    You got it, Peter. I've just seen the warmest winter of my life ( no snow ) followed by the wettest summer. Those were not the fatal extremes some people are going to see.

    I see no solution.
