Eco-terrorism?
A new fire erupted in the Hollywood Hills near the “Hollywood” sign Wednesday evening.
There is a mandatory evacuation for Runyon Canyon and the Hollywood Hills.

Numerous fires have been burning in the greater Los Angeles area since Tuesday and are still at zero percent containment.
UPDATE: The status of the ongoing wildfires in California.
PERCENT OF FIRE CONTAINED:
Palisades: 0% (15,832 acres)
Eaton: 0% (10,600 acres)
Hurst: 0% (505 acres)
Lidia: 30% (80 acres)

Thanks to Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom and LA’s Democrat Mayor Karen Bass, the fire hydrants are dry.
Karen Bass slashed fire department funding by $17.6 million a few months before the fires.
Governor Newsom and the state’s Democrat legislators do not allow for proper forest management so years of dry brush build up and fires explode with the gusty Santa Ana winds.
As President Trump previously pointed out, Newsom also refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water to flow through the state.
The result?
California looks like a Martian wasteland.
Pacific Palisades looks like Hiroshima, 1945.
CA Dems should be charged with criminal negligence. pic.twitter.com/o4a4KX8mgL
