The world is on fire. The devastating wildfires in Maui have led to at least 99 deaths with many hundreds more people unaccounted for and injured. We have seen homes and livelihoods destroyed and hospitals overwhelmed with smoke and burn victims. These wildfires, fanned by winds from Hurricane Dora after years of drought, have undoubtedly been made worse by climate change. We need to wake up to the fact that climate change is driving a vicious cycle of extreme weather conditions that are killing people. Without a doubt, the climate crisis is also a health crisis. We must start reducing...

President Joe Biden, while speaking about the devastating wildfires in Hawaii, appeared to momentarily forget the name of Maui

“I’m already thinking of ways for the state to acquire that land so that we can put it into workforce housing, to put it back into families, or make it open spaces in perpetuity as a memorial to the people who were lost,” Green commented amid the ruins. “We want this to be something we remember after the pain passes as a magic place. Lahaina will rebuild. The tragedy right now is the loss of life. The buildings can be rebuilt over time, even the banyan tree may survive, but we don’t want this to become a clear space where...

President Joe Biden flew directly over East Palestine, Ohio, on Tuesday after he promised in March to visit the working-class town impacted by the deadly February train derailment. Biden’s flight path on Air Force One while heading to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for an event touting “Bidenomics,” his economic agenda, flew nearly right over East Palestine. A freight train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, which wreaked havoc on the working-class town.

President Joe Biden announced Monday that survivors of the Maui fires would receive “a one-time $700 payment per household,” after he faced criticism for telling a reporter he had “no comment” on the rising death toll.His account posted: “We’re laser-focused on getting aid to survivors, including Critical Needs Assistance: a one-time $700 payment per household offering relief during an unimaginably difficult time.”The one-time payment of $700 per household is less than the estimated cost to each American household for the Ukraine War, according to a budget expert at the Heritage Foundation.Richard Stern, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Grover M.

Former President Obama on Tuesday highlighted several organizations providing relief to Maui residents in the wake of last week’s deadly wildfires as he urged people to donate to recovery efforts on the island. “If you’re looking for more ways to support folks in Lāhainā and on Maui, I hope you’ll consider donating to these local organizations that are providing direct support on the ground,” Obama said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Hey, life’s a beach, man. President Biden lounged Sunday on Rehoboth Beach while the town of Lahaina on the island of Maui was still smoking, with photos of the once-idyllic paradise showing a charred wasteland. The grim images, the unfathomable loss of life, the haunting, sickening knowledge the news would only worsen as the days passed: It would have brought any stoic to tears. But not beach bum Biden. Ol’ Joe was busy relaxing in his lounge chair for hours getting some vitamin D and living out one of those cheesy “Beach life” mottos you see painted on driftwood.

Just when you thought the White House's messaging on the devastating Maui fire couldn't get any worse, Karine Jean-Pierre comes busting through the wall like the Kool-Aid man. Joe Biden had already made a mess of things multiple times by the time the press secretary took the podium. As RedState reported, when asked by reporters on Sunday about the situation in Maui, including the federal government's response, Biden gleefully kept riding his bike while simply saying "We're looking at it." On Monday, he made matters even worse by smiling and shouting "No comment" at reporters when asked about the rising...

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...

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,...

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...
