This week's death toll from fires in Oregon, Washington and California now stands at 18, as at least 100 major fires burn in 11 western states. As flames push closer to the city of Portland, the mayor has declared a state of emergency — and state officials say they're now preparing for a "mass fatality incident."

More than half a million people — 12% of the state's population — have fled from their homes in Oregon and mass evacuations are underway across the region. Oregon's governor said Thursday that dozens may be missing in her state.

The monstrous fires are moving so quickly that they're overwhelming fire crews.

martial law
national guard with an mountain division... and mech units.

500 k is too many to move or to lose .

It is time.
Do it.
NOW or face the repercussions for being blamed for all that is happening NOW... “when did President know this could happen” with a pile of bodies at out of state morgues... is NOT the way to win a nation or an election.

It is wood-chipper time for wheeler and the governor, just to save the people who are NOT crazy...

Do it Mr President. Save Oregon from themselves. Blame Nancy, Brown and Wheeler. While you are at it blame it on Antifa... and round up a new crop of Gitmo residents.... for the coming year.

Instead of their tiresome temper tantrums for 100 days, maybe those antifa and BLM bastards could do something useful like dig fire breaks or feed the exhausted firefighters or donate tents and clothing or help those who lost everything.

They are so intent on helping the beaten-down and downtrodden, here’s the first chance to do some good for people.

How many of those fires were fires started by arsonist, BLMers and Antifa thugs.

The outer suburbs are nestled in the woods with a bunch of “greenbelt”.

Not you typical city, in more ways than one.

Why would he? The way he sees it, a lot of his "class enemies" are about to be burned.

This will get ugly. Firefighters ordered to stand down, just like the police.

People will have to take matters into their own hands.

Antifa setting whole states on fire so Democrats can blame Trump for global warming was a pretty desperate Hail Mary play.

Biden's internals must be truly disastrous.
