White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are "praying" for the victims of the Maui wildfires a day after the president declined to comment on the tragedy. During Monday's press briefing, Jean-Pierre said the president and his wife were sending prayers to the victims of the Maui wildfires that leveled the town of Lahaina. "As the president said last week that he and the first lady are praying for families who are grieving their loved ones and for everyone who has suffered devastating losses of land and property as a result of the...

How Colonialism Set the Stage for Maui's Destruction by Fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy94eVvUl_4&t=97s&pp=ygU8aG93IGNvbG9uaWFsaXNtIHNldCB0aGUgc3RhZ2UgZm9yIG1hdWkncyBkZXN0cnVjdGlvbiBieSBmaXJl Runtime 21m 19s. Well,,, that didn't take long. Climate change and white supremacy , the 2 sides of the new mobocrat coin of the realm.

FEMA is offering temporary shelter in hotels and motels, federal workers are registering residents for a $700-per-household payment for survivors, and the government is working with community-led groups to reach all residents no matter which language or other barriers, Biden tweeted Monday. Biden and Hawaii Gov. Josh Green (D) spoke Friday after the governor had surveyed the destruction, and Green provided an update and assessment of the state’s needs. He praised Biden on MSNBC after he signed the emergency declaration hours after Hawaii asked.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre both mispronounced the names of Hawaii’s two Democratic senators and misgendered one of them at a Monday press conference after the island suffered the most devastating US wildfire in more than a century. “Senator Harino [sic], who I said the president spoke to just last night, he thanked the president for the immediate support of federal agencies have delivered for residents of Hawaii,” the Biden administration’s chief spokesperson told reporters, “and so does, has, so has Senator Shorts, Sharts — Schatz.” Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), the first female senator from the Aloha State, is...

The catastrophic wildfires on Maui have spurred many to speculate on what caused such a tragedy on an otherwise lush tropical island. And, of course, many in the climate cult are simply closing their eyes, covering their ears, and shouting that climate change is the cause of this tragedy, and that everyone of us with our use of fossil fuels is personally to blame. As of this writing, at least 93 are dead and the community of Lahaina lies in smoldering ruins as firefighters struggle to contain blazes on the island. People have been stunned to hear about a wildfire,...

In the post Nicks detailed how her niece and family had planned a 'much needed' vacation at her home close to Lahaina, but had been forced to flee after the fire started 'a day and a half' into their trip.

HONOLULU (KHON2) — In a new map released by the County of Maui, estimates show the extent of the damage sustained from Maui’s fires. Those estimates were made based on visual inspection of satellite imagery and open source images. An estimated 2,170 acres burned in the Lahaina area, with 2,719 structures exposed to the fire. The map further estimates a need to shelter 4,500 which is estimated to need 3,560 gallons of water and 9,000 meals a day. Gov. Josh Green asked rental owners to house displaced residents, stating on Wake Up 2Day that he would change the rules, as...

This new revelation will certainly not give America confidence that the true cause behind the Maui fires will ever be known. Instead, we can count on a likely cover-up instead. As Cristina Laila previously reported, devastating wildfires in Maui have left almost 100 people dead with approximately 1,000 people still unaccounted for. People were reportedly jumping into the ocean and historic Lahania town was destroyed. The news only gets worse, though. Reports reveal that current Maui Police Chief John Pelletier was the incident commander during the Las Vegas massacre in 2017, the worst mass shooting in American history. An incident...

The statement from county officials came after the local Star Advertiser News initially reported that Winfrey, 69, and a CBS crew following her were denied entry because media are not allowed to enter the shelter. Just days ago, Winfrey spoke on camera to the BCC inside the shelter about giving residents a helping hand. Hundreds more remain unaccounted for. Thousands of people have lost their homes and possessions as the fast-moving flames engulfed parts of the island last week, including the resort city of Lahaina, which was decimated. The cause of the massive blaze is unknown, though lawyers investigating the...

Invasive highly flammable grasses in Hawaii have been key to fueling the deadliest wildfires in the US in more than 100 years, experts say. While factors such as extreme weather events from climate change and the state’s local power grid have been blamed for helping to cause the blaze, large plots of land in Hawaii have been overrun by volatile non-native fire-prone grasses that are fueling the deadly flames, according to experts. Land that was once occupied by irrigated pineapples and sugar cane was taken over by the grass species as those businesses began to decline, according to Elizabeth Pickett,...

President Joe Biden is being slammed for his “disgraceful response” — being termed his “Katrina moment” — after appearing unconcerned by the rising death toll in Hawaii when he offered “no comment” when asked about the current catastrophe after reclining at a Delaware beach. On Sunday evening, the president reportedly said he had “no comment” when asked about the rising death toll from the devastating Hawaii fires that have ravaged Maui since Tuesday. “After a couple hours on the Rehoboth beach, @potus was asked about the rising death toll in Hawaii. ‘No comment,’ he said before heading home,” tweeted Bloomberg...

Hawaii Governor Josh Green has warned hundreds more Lahaina wildfire victims will be found as just 3 percent of the search area has been scoured - and says around 1,300 people are still missing. Green said he expects search teams will find '10 to 20' bodies per day during an operation that will last around 10 days. The death toll currently stands at 96, but officials in Maui said on Saturday that teams had been able to cover just 3 percent of the search area. The governor added on Sunday that around 1,300 people were still missing.

John Pelletier, the current Chief of the Maui Police Department amid the ongoing Hawaiian wildfires, acted as Incident Commander for the mysterious Las Vegas Police mass shooting – the largest in American history – in 2017. He recently trained with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). Pelletier has become the face of the Hawaii-based police department since being elected chief in late 2021. Before that, Pelletier served 22 years in the Las Vegas Police Department, rising through the ranks to become captain of the department. His contribution on the night of the mass shooting in 2017, which witnessed the deaths...

Joe Biden, who has often been hailed by the Left as a decent, compassionate person, was at the beach in Delaware on Sunday when asked about the enormous tragedy in Maui, where the deadliest wildfire in the U.S. in the last 100 years has now claimed at least 96 lives and possibly more. According to Democrat Hawaii Governor Josh Green, the damage from the fires that utterly ravaged the historic town of Lahaina could amount to $6 billion. The compassionate response from the president as he was leaving the beach? “No comment.” Biden is the same man who bragged on...

The death in Hawaii has risen to 80 as six wildfires are burning in Maui and the Big Island. Just 85% of the fire is reportedly “contained.” Authorities warn that the death total “could go up.” Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said this is the largest natural disaster in the state’s history. Many of the town’s historic landmarks are lost. Winds from Hurricane Dora have fanned the flames across Hawaii. The storm is hundreds of miles southwest of the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean. In the meantime, critics say President Joe Biden is requesting nearly $40 billion in aid, which...

'Wow. What a scumbag...' In the wake of the devastating wildfires that have swept through Hawaii, President Joe Biden’s response has sparked intense backlash, with critics denouncing his apparent lack of empathy for the victims. The president’s terse “No comment” in response to a question from a reporter has ignited a firestorm of criticism from various quarters. Justin Sink, a White House correspondent for Bloomberg, reported that during an encounter on Rehoboth Beach, Biden was asked about the rising death toll in Hawaii caused by the raging fires. Without elaborating or offering condolences, Biden simply responded with a curt “No...
