  1. “…the fires have continued to break out.”

    I call bullshit.

    1. Climate change does NOT stop at the Canadian border.

    2. People are doing stupid stuff…like ‘gender parties’. (Seriously, who cares if it has a dick?)

    3. ARSONISTS (aka liberals and democrats)

    4. Forest management not allowing people to rake up pine needles and properly maintain their properties (i.e., fuel for fires).

    Let’s remember those firefighters who have lost their lives in these fires.

    *When you point a finger – remember three are pointing back at you.

  2. Just clearing property for more over priced housing developments. Takes care of the endangered species argument at the same time. If they are willing to burn downtown, why not burn the forest too.

  3. Major coverup going on in Oregon over who started the fires. State Fire Marshal fired (“resigned”) a 40-year veteran, replaced by the governor by a woman. State senate (demorat super-majority) took the Wildfire Committee and rolled it into the Veterans Committee (?) where the chairman has forbidden the WF members to ask any questions during hearings. 158 fires started in two days, all human caused. The dems know who did it and don’t want the truth to come out.

  4. I have a son and a son in law the contract to the Forest Service. They were both on the Santa Cruz fire and are now up in Happy Camp. They just got moved up into Oregon. It’s common knowledge at the fire camps that the majority of these fires are set. Mean while all of our forests are locked down do to fire danger. very dirt road or four wheel drive trail is blocked and the forests are being patrolled by helicopters and drones with heat signature technology. And nobody will admit it’s do to ANTIFA.
    As far as the conditions of our forests, they are a tinder box. The forest is my gun range and I normally shoot once a week. If you’re standing in one spot shooting, you’re not training. There’s dead trees lying on the forest floor all over the place. Burn piles that were never burned that are now over grown with brush. The forest floor is over grown with brush. Lot’s of dead standing do to disease. It’s a joke.
