That is Bizarre with a capital B. Future Texas senator, although I can't throw stones as AZ has 2 of the worst.

Yes. French authorities have arrested dozens of people on suspicion of arson (deliberate or accidental) in connection with the ongoing wildfires.

As of late July 2026 (reports around July 27), officials stated that 162 people had been arrested since July 6 on suspicion of involvement in wildfire-related arson. Earlier in mid-July, the figure stood at 59 arrests nationwide (including minors), with at least two specifically linked to the Fontainebleau forest fire near Paris.

Interior Minister statements (including from Sébastien Lecornu and Laurent Nuñez) and government posts have emphasized that security forces are actively pursuing arsonists, noting that deliberately starting fires is a serious crime punishable by significant prison time. Not every fire is attributed to arson—many stem from human carelessness (e.g., discarded cigarettes) amid extreme heat, drought, and dry conditions—but authorities have repeatedly highlighted deliberate starts as a factor in the severe season, which has included major blazes such as the large one in the Gironde region near Bordeaux (forcing large-scale evacuations).

These arrests are part of a broader response to one of France’s most intense recent wildfire seasons. Figures can evolve with ongoing investigations.

I thought there was only 1 fire in Europe.

Yes, most massive fires are started by people. Sounds like people have a pretty negative impact on the environment. You will never see me say that climate change is the cause of fires.

The guy doesn’t know how to leave it alone. Both sides working overtime in an effort to lose the midterms.

Interesting to think what would be on the table if he didn’t receive a pardon. Anybody have any guesses? Would it realistically be life in prison? Less? Death (kidding, sort of)?

Great questions. He’s in his 80’s so a short sentence could be a life sentence. He deserves it.

 

[ILisBest]

It seems most would like to see him punished. I noticed the MSM was furiously trying to prop up Fauci yesterday. At least Stoney still buys it!

Realistically, nothing would or will happen to him. The R's got their stern soundbites, the D's have their persecution narrative. The sun comes up in the morning, water flows downhill.

Based on what I witnessed, lived through, and have read I believe the U.S. did what they thought was the safest course during a once in a century pandemic. The development of the vaxx as a part of what Trump called "Warp Speed" was seen as miraculous at the time and saved many lives. Those that think Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine were effective, or there was a conspiracy by Fauci to collect kickbacks, are nuts that live totally within the RW bubble and unable or unwilling to think for themselves. RW bubble consists of a mixture of Luddites and Conspiracy nuts. You guys go ahead and side with ignorant embeciles like RFK, Jr. Ron Johnson and DJT.

You think there is a 50/50 chance it came from a bat. You live totally within a bubble too.

According to the "experts" that report, every report comes to a conclusion opposite to the previous report. They don't know. But I guess that is a big deal to those with "conspiracy brains". Anyone still upset and arguing about Covid 6 years later, have personal issues that they should be dealing with.

I mean would they even call this on the NBA?

Upset about Covid? You didn’t live in a Dem state. You’re a “no kings” anti-Trump fella. You know who the kings really are? The Dem governors in your party. Lord Pritzker shut our damn state down, ruined Thanksgiving gatherings, came up with the nuttiest quarantine rules, violated our guaranteed Constitutional rights as US citizens and 6 years later he is still governor 6 years later. Let’s not forget he spent significant time in Florida while he expected the rest of Illinois to be on lockdown. Anthony Fauci needs to be held accountable for being an overpaid con-artist and laws need to be passed to authority and power that any unelected government official can have.

Do people who never forget the Holocaust, why it happened and are vigilant it doesn't happen again have “personal issues”? Too many people don’t remember 9/11 well enough apparently or there wouldn’t be a naturalized anti-capitalist Muslim extremist pretending to be a nice communist voted in as mayor to America’s largest city and essentially the financial capital of the world. Do the people who remember 9/11 and whodunit, and also vigilant to make sure it doesn’t happen again have “personal issues”? As usual you are a compliant sucker to your team. We have elected and unelected government officials at both the Federal and state levels who need to be held accountable for their actions during Covid and it matters not whether they are Democrats or Republicans.

Indeed.

Morons showing why they got voted out.

IIRC Fauci also pushed AZT on HIV/AIDS patients.

You are not well.

Hold on to inconsequential BS much? Proves my point that those locked into Covid six years later have personal issues.

Yes, it was a minor inconvenience for you and your kids. It was an unnecessary hardship for many families, and those that are less fortunate than you.

We should all want to learn what mistakes were made and how it could have been avoided. Instead we have a lack of transparency and people covering their asses.
