A wildfire swept through the star-studded hills of Los Angeles on Monday, destroying several large homes and forcing celebrities like Kathy Griffin, LeBron James and Arnold Schwarzenegger to flee along with thousands of other people.

Meanwhile, a blaze in Northern California wine country exploded in size.

Terrified students at Mount Saint Mary's University were also forced to flee around midnight, taking what they could in their cars, as the flames ramped up toward the campus. Classes at UCLA were also canceled.

The flames roared up a steep hillside near the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles' Brentwood section illustrated the danger the state faces as high winds batter both ends of California and threaten to turn any spark into a devastating inferno.

“How have these rich folk not taken precautions...”

They have. They keep electing Democrats.

This is happening every year now. How have these rich folk not taken precautions to protect their homes and belongings?

You mean like moving out of the annual fire zone?

So the rich and famous are being burnt out of homes that they should have never bought in bone dry areas that have been a breeding ground for brush fires since California was discovered... It’s like building a home with an ocean front view on the very edge of a cliff... When it comes tumbling down... It’s not natures fault... It’s yours for being so stunned to do such a thing.

Editorial correction, from:

“A wildfire swept through the star-studded hills of Los Angeles on Monday”

To:

“A wildfire swept through the dry tinder hills of Los Angeles on Monday”.

Do any of the millionaires on those hills spend the money making a natural fire break between their house and the dry tinder hills around them? Doubtful.

What’s laughable is now that the liberals are personally threatened they are thanking first responders who they have all dissed for years. Saw the same thing on CBS This Morning, they finally appreciate first responders now that’s it’s their property threatened.

Looks like a poster for a horror film.

Announcer blares:

“You’ve seen IT...”

“Now see THAT...”

“What is seen cannot be unseen...”

This fire is the result of years of liberal policies and decisions. I’m so sorry for the good people in California who have been caught in this. I only hope people wake up so this doesn’t happen again.

“I’m so sorry it burned her face so badly.”

That actually happened when she was a baby when she fell off the ugly tree, hit every branch on the way down, upon striking the ground her face caught fire, then they put it out with an ice pick

Bad, bad forest management combined with idiocy of building in a natural fire zone.

Kathy Griffin’s face does look like a freshly peeled scab.

Too busy cashing in on fleeting popularity....not necessarily bright either.

Why bother holding your tongue? Liberals don’t. Just say it.

I hope Kathy’s house gets burned to the ground since she is a nasty violent liberal.

Like making local firebreaks, water tanks to keep the roof from burning, using fire resistant building materials, and yeah...moving.

It’ll take care of itself. Soon, there won’t be anything left to burn.
