Dry conditions and gusting winds fueled a deadly outbreak of wildfires in California that quickly exploded through thousands of acres of forest and residential neighborhoods, killing at least 11 people and injuring over 100.
More than a dozen fires that broke out across the state on Sunday and Monday have destroyed at least 1,500 structures and scorched nearly 100,000 acres of land.

HAZARD, Ky. (AP) — The Trump administration will abandon the Obama-era clean power plan aimed at reducing global warming, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said Monday.
Speaking in Kentucky, Pruitt said he will sign a proposed rule on Tuesday “to withdraw the so-called clean power plan of the past administration.”
The clean power plan aimed to restrict greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants. It was a centerpiece of the Obama administration’s environmental policies. Continue reading “EPA chief says administration to roll back climate plan”
Several massive wildfires burned out of control in Napa and Sonoma counties early Monday, destroying an untold number of homes and businesses, forcing the evacuation of many thousands of people and shutting down major roadways as firefighters sought to halt the advance of infernos that were driven by powerful winds.
There was no immediate estimate of the damage or the extent of injuries — nor an explanation for the sheer number of fires — but structures were burning in both counties, according to authorities and witnesses.

On Sunday night, the White House revealed that it is seeking more funds from Congress to fund Trump’s wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, more resources to hire thousands more immigration officers, cutting the number of new legal immigrants and generally demanding a steep price for legislation under consideration to help so-called Dreamers. According to the WSJ, “the White House documents, sent to congressional leaders in both parties on Sunday, amount to a lengthy wish list of longstanding conservative immigration goals.” While White House officials told reporters that they want these to be included in any immigration deal, they stopped short of saying the White House will insist on them.

Columbus Day celebrations could turn violent, as various “antifa” anarchist groups have announced a nationwide campaign to deface Christopher Columbus statues during Monday’s holiday.
According to PJ Media, at least five Christopher Columbus statues have already been vandalized in New York City in recent weeks, based on reports from Far Left Watch. In one case last month, vandals defaced a “larger-than-life” statue of Columbus in Central Park, leaving blood-red paint on his hands, and scrawled, “Hate will not be tolerated” and “#SomethingsComing” on its pedestal.

Background
My name is Mike. I live in southwest Florida on the Everglades just a few miles from
Everglades City. I am a Florida native so hurricanes are not new to me, we just learn to live with them. We don’t have hurricane parties or things like that, we take the storms very seriously. But hurricanes are just a price we must pay for the privilege to live in a tropical paradise.
Prepping
I have been a prepper long before it was fashionable. I know how to prepare for the worst be it a major storm or an economic collapse. Long go my wife and I stocked up on freeze-dried MREs, dried fruits, vegetables, coffee, olive oil and other staple items. We were never going to be hungry.

No real blood (except few incidents that seem faked blood) : few ambulances in any TV footage or allowed Internet material : MSM statistics change drastically about how many died and were wounded, and how many guns were supposedly found in killer’s hotel room : people interviewed by MSM do not seem truly traumatized : and no serious screaming after “hundreds” of gun shot wounds. Complete lies (and very mediocre acting by bad “crisis actors”).
Just like the faked Gay Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting event was completely faked—so too was this latest contrived event by the deep state. And almost immediately the MSM and politicians are back to demanding more gun laws. Continue reading “Mandalay Bay Las Vegas Mass Shooting Was Another Faked Event—and Why These Deceit Events Matter”

One of the wounded had “life-threatening” injuries at one time, but has since stabilized. The other had serious injuries. Continue reading “Three Green Berets killed, two wounded in Niger ambush”

You’d think the anti-gunners would get the picture. Every time they try to ban something, they simply encourage people to buy more of them. Every. Single. Time.
This time is no different, as it seems people are buying bump-fire stocks at an unprecedented rate. Continue reading “Bump-Fire Stock Sales Are Through The Roof, Which Means Banning Them Is Pointless”
A few internet sleuths have taken matters into their own hands after the obvious disinformation campaign by the mainstream media surrounding the Las Vegas shooting. Mounting evidence of what looks like a false flag is worrying many. And once you read this, those fears will be shoved into overdrive.
On the surface, the tweet doesn’t say much. But how much can Mike Toke really say in a limited amount of characters? But what he does manage is enough to get anyone seeking the truth to follow all these leads and look into everything that the media and our government continues to hide from us. It’s what’s embedded in the tweet that counts. Continue reading “The Vegas Plot Thickens: The Connection Between The Shooter And An Intelligence Agency”

It didn’t work after mass shootings at a nightclub in Orlando, college campuses in Virginia and Oregon, a church in Charleston, or at a movie theater and high school in Colorado. Or after two lawmakers survived assassination attempts. But after a gunman killed 58 people and wounded more than 500 at a Las Vegas concert, Democrats are going to try again to revamp the nation’s gun laws.
And some Republicans signaled that this time may be different. Continue reading “Democrats launch fresh push for gun control after Las Vegas shooting”

Google News took the unusual step of confirming its use of the imageboard site 4chan as a news source on Monday. The admission followed Google News’ propagation of an incorrect name as a potential shooter in the tragic Las Vegas shooting on Sunday night.
A reporter from tech-news site The Outline posted the full text of an e-mail he received from an unnamed Google representative. Reporter William Turton said that he had not discussed any “attribution terms” before receiving Google’s e-mail, which confirmed that the Google News service was bombed into automatically reposting a false shooter’s name.
