    1. @John Christopher no confusion here. I went ahead and looked up the word terrorist for you since they didn’t include it in your indoctrination course materials. Terrorist- a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. This is as good a summation of BLM and ANTIFA as can be expected. I’m not sure what they are giving you to be so ignorant, but it’s not worth it.

    2. And antifa vampires who molest chihuahuas have a special machine made from the bones and blood of republican children that creates hurricanes. Q-anon said it so it must be true.

    1. SoCal Surfer16 so you from Huntington Beach knows all about the woods, lived 15 years in the Oregon woods with no running water or power

    1. Climate Change
      The made up catastrophe used by globalists & socialists to instill fear and guilt to tax, regulate, and remove our freedoms while pretending to be saving the planet.

  1. Thank goodness somebody finally addressing the President on national T.V. asking the President for help not just help for now but help for in the future to combat climate changes that are brought on through bad Leadership and a ignoring ear from a President who says don’t worry it will get colder I mean really WTF. Vote Biden it’s time to start making changes what do we have to do loose the whole west coast. Prays to the Californians.

  2. Is Oregon getting any federal assistance to fight the fires or is the fact they are a blue state the assistance is slow in coming.

    1. @William Bailey The wildfire season is much longer than it was back in the 197ps, with more acreage burned, and hotter and more intense fires. California’s fire season is now 2 – 3 months longer than in 1970, and 5 * the acreage is burned.

    2. Climate Change
      The made up catastrophe used by globalists & socialists to instill fear and guilt to tax, regulate, and remove our freedoms while pretending to be saving the planet.

    3. @Brian Nave Guess you didn’t notice these fires are much bigger and last longer than any time in recent history. Same thing happening in Australia and Canada. Yup, it’s all the fault of socialists.

    2. Brian Nave I watched this. Unfortunately this young kid will only get trespassing since he was not witnessed starting a fire. Any person, intentionally starting a fire, no matter what party affiliations, with such dry conditions, should be sent to a labor prison for life.

    1. We had to evacuate the hospital in Silverton last tues. that was an experience I’ll never forget. Just opened back up yesterday

  3. *The only honest thing Trump has done, is that he has inadvertently highlighted the True Hidden Nature of this GOP! **#NastyBrokenGOP** 🤢🤮*

    1. Wigg Picker Hi Wigg,, haven’t seen your trolling face in a while. Still part of the trump cult eh? Why not try stretching your mind and list something,, anything good that trump has done? Let’s see if you can find something Mr Hater..

    2. @Noah Ludford
      You post corporate beast system social media fake news because you’re one of Tinkerbells cesspool guppies

  4. Bring back the C.C.C., Civilian Conservation Corps. Nationwide A.S.A.P.. This is why. 🔥🔥🔥🌀🌀🌀🌱🌱🌱🌎🌍🌏🙏

    1. Great idea. California has the California Conservation Corps and has several centers throughout the state, a few of which are fire centers that house fire crews. One of them is in Magalia, just north of the town of Paradise. They do great work. I know several other states have them as well.

    1. Lol. The biggest crook to ever enter DC. China eating our lunch come on man they just gave hunter 1,5billion they seem fine to me

    2. @Anthony Wolmarans I’m not a troll but the truth hurts some people. Usually the ones who love hearing b.s just cause you like hearing it. Aerosmith says it best. Talk to yourself and you hear what you want to know.lol

  5. According to trump all the fires are a result of someone not raking up leaves in the forest 😳😳😳😳😳 seriously he really said that 😳😳😳😳😳

  6. This is just like Bush and stem cell research. he virtually blocked it all, so many many people suffer from illnesses that could now be cured. Republicans 🤮🤮🤮🤮

  7. “As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” ― H.L. Mencken

    1. @John Buick “Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.”
      — H. L. Mencken

    1. @A. S. Yes, yes it has! I saw a brief glimpse of the sky yesterday, now it’s gone. Two households in my family came within 5 miles of losing their homes this week. Pheww!

  8. I refer folks who care to Jane Fonda’s Fire Drill Fridays which sensibly addresses this issue and more. They need your help.

  9. Senator Jeff Merkley is a good man who knows what he’s talking about. We need more people like him in Washington.

    1. He’s my Senator. He will always have my support! I would call him the hardest working man in Washington (dc), except he’s always busy doing town halls in every corner of Oregon, listening to the people.

    2. @josh grant He’s my senator too and Jeff Merkley is one of the best for sure. He does do town halls to ask the people what they need or to hear and actually listen to their questions and concerns, Jeff is okay by me!

    3. @james kenyon Do you get his emails? I’ve gotten a response every time I send him one, from his staff maybe but I know the word is getting thru. America could use a President like Merkley, but I would be jealous to lose him.
