A Oregon woman made a citizen’s arrest after she found an arsonist with matches in his hands on her property. The woman reportedly told the man he was lucky it was her that found the man, and not her husband or else he’d be dead. Kat Cast held a suspected arsonist at gunpoint on Saturday when she was driving into her driveway and saw the man with matches in his hand walking on her property. Check out the footage, here: Cast went on to explain what happened: “I walked him out of my property at gunpoint and then when we...

Do you support or oppose this woman's use of a gun? * I support this woman's use of a gun. * I oppose this woman's use of a gun. An Oregon woman found an arsonist on her property over the weekend. The woman held him by gunpoint on the ground until police arrived. She told the man if her husband would have caught him he’d be dead. The mainstream media ignored this citizen’s arrest. It goes against their global warming and anti-gun narrative. Video: https://twitter.com/zerosum24/status/1305214840798171137

There's stupid, there's pig-stupid, and there's Oregon.  That's the astonishing picture we have here where a suspect, Domingo Lopez, Jr., 45, who had been arrested just 12 hours earlier for setting fires, got somehow let out and proceeded to commit to more arson, with the Antifa weapon of choice, the Molotov cocktail, as if that couldn't be foreseen.  The second time around, he set six fires. Who needs global warming with guys like this? The big fail here was from the justice system, which let the known firebug, freshly caught in the act, out and about.  Obviously, there's something going on with this.  How...

On Monday, Democratic nominee Joe Biden condemned President Donald Trump as a “climate arsonist,” predicting that if the president wins reelection in November, America will witness more “hellish” events like fires in the West, flooding in the Midwest, and hurricanes on the East Coast. He effectively promised that if he wins, America will suffer from fewer fires, fewer floods, and fewer hurricanes. Although Biden excoriated Trump for “ignoring the facts” and “denying reality,” he focused his remarks on the wildfires ravaging California, Oregon, and Washington State — fires exacerbated by bad forest management more than any sort of climate change....

The following is a collection of articles, tweets and videos that show many of the fires on the West Coast have been initiated by Arsonists. The West Coast is on fire and tens of thousands of people are being evacuated and displaced as a result. The MSM and ‘Fact Checkers’ are trying to convince the American people that arsonists aren’t responsible for deliberately setting wildfires on the west coast. Pelosi wants you to believe that “mother earth is angry” and that these fires are a result of climate change, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. So far the...

The Islamic State is telling its followers to ignite destructive forest fires in the United States and Europe. As California continues to grapple with powerful fires that have forced hundreds of thousands to evacuate, a pro-ISIS media outlet called Quraysh has reportedly released propaganda posters urging adherents to “ignite fires.” According to the Middle East Media Research Institute, the first of the posters began circulating in April and the latest appeared on Monday. The institute, which monitors and tracks communications in radical groups, said the translation on the April poster read, “Oh monotheists [ISIS followers], ignite fires in the forests...

Amid windy and worsening conditions at least 35 have died from the spate of West Coast fires which many thousands of firefighters are still busy battling. And there are still dozens of missing persons who were in the vicinity of the blazes. Meanwhile the mainstream media is busy issuing headlines like this instead of actually trying to get to the bottom of what's behind the seeming simultaneous explosion of fires: "Oregon Officials Warn False Antifa Rumors Waste Precious Resources For Fires," writes NPR. And now local Portland media is reporting that a 45-year old man has been arrested for...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom warned the country's leaders that the entire United States will soon mirror the raging wildfires that are working their way through thousands of acres of the state's land. “California, folks, is America fast-forward,” Newsom said. “What we are experiencing right here is coming to a community all across the United States of America unless we get our act together on climate change — unless we disabuse ourselves of all the BS that’s being spewed by a very small group of people that have an ideological reason to advance the cause of a 19th-century framework and solution....

4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. Philippians 4:4 King James Version God saved Portland from being decimated by one of the deadliest fires Oregon has ever seen. If not for the winds miraculously changing from easterly to westerly and soon bringing the rains it is very possible much of Portland would have burned to the ground. It is inconceivable why the Lord saved Portland other than he will not take the righteous with the wicked, but there is no other explanation than God for how this miracle happened. Oregon has over a half a million...

Andy Ngo who closely follows Antifa and BLM in the last few years this morning tweeted: Be careful of rumors that political groups are involved in starting wildfires. People have spread claims on social media that aren't supported by evidence. Wildfires are not Antifa's MO. Instead, they target businesses, police & government property. But even he seems to be wrong this time. Maybe in Portland police officers don't have proof about Antifa or BLM members starting fires but in Washington, there was an alleged Antifa member who was arrested for arson. According to Q13FOX — The Sumner Grade Fire in Sumner and...
