29-year-old former Uber driver arrested in connection with starting deadly Palisades Fire
A 29-year-old former Uber driver was arrested and charged in connection with the Palisades Fire in January, one of the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles history, authorities said at a news conference Wednesday.
Authorities allege that Jonathan Rinderknecht “maliciously” set the fire, which killed a dozen people. It was fully contained on Jan. 31.
Rinderknecht was arrested Tuesday near his home in Florida on a charge of destruction of property by means of fire, Bill Essayli, acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, said on X.
Authorities said the Palisades Fire was a “holdover” fire, or a continuation of the Lachman Fire, which Rinderknecht is alleged to have started on New Year’s Day.
Wild how just every one of these ‘climate change’ fires is either arson or idiocy.
William clearly knows the truth. Global warming does not ignite wildfires. Humans, lightning, frayed wires and Jewish Space Lasers do. Humans commit arson, discard cigarettes, leave a running auto over dry grass, fail to maintain equipment and power lines.
Global warming – droughts, winds – increase the spread of wildfires. Even a MAGAt should understand that wet wood is harder to ignite than dry tinder.
+++ Global warming intensifies forest fires by creating hotter, drier conditions that make vegetation more flammable and increase the length and severity of fire seasons. Higher temperatures lead to increased drought, lower soil moisture, earlier snowmelt, and more dead, dry trees and plants, which act as fuel. Additionally, warmer air can hold more moisture, leading to more severe thunderstorms and increased lightning strikes, a common cause of wildfires .+++
We get it. William intentionally misrepresents the truth. We’re used to it. MAGAts always lie.
It wasn’t the climate that let those man-made reservoirs run dry.
However, there’s no more statistical droughts nor wildfires than earlier. Arson and /or lightning are said to cause at least 80% of all wild fires

Where did Watts publsh his original research?
Everyone knows that California is essentially a desert, with infrequent periods of rainfall. It’s been that way for centuries, no millennia, if not longer.
Only by frequent use of stolen water from more eastern states for irrigation has it been able to maintain the fiction of being lush.
You’re not very familiar with CA are you?
Central Valley, i.e. the San Joaquin Valley, the state’s agricultural heartland. Also, the Sacramento Valley in the north, the Salinas Valley (the “salad bowl”), and various coastal regions like the San Francisco Peninsula and Yolo County. Napa and Sonoma Valleys lead US in wine production!! California is the major milk producer in America!!
Top Agricultural Producers in U.S.
1. California
2. Iowa
3. Nebraska
4. Texas
5. Illinois
6. Minnesota
7. Kansas
8. Indiana
9. North Carolina
10.Wisconsin
Speaking of deserts, have you ever been to Texas? They grow cattle, rice and cotton!
Back when I was a dockworker (it’s how I paid for college) in wholesale produce nearly everything came from California!! Berries, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, peaches, nectarines, almonds, walnuts, kiwi, melons, plums, grapes, peppers… Year-frigging-round! Tasteless tomatoes came from McAllen TX, taters from Idaho, corn from Illinois, apples from Washington, oranges from FL, best cantaloupes from Colorado, best tasting tomatoes from Arkansas nearby Arkansas.
Stolen water? From whom? Nevada? Arizona? New Mexico? Old Mexico? Now those are some deserts!!
++++California gets water for agriculture from a combination of surface water (like snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada, rivers, and reservoirs), groundwater from underground aquifers, and imported water through large aqueducts from sources like the Colorado River and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The mix of these sources varies by region and is heavily dependent on rainfall and drought conditions, with groundwater becoming increasingly critical during dry years.++++
When you guys secede make sure you have agreements in place with CA!!
I lived in the San Joaquin Valley, specifically Antioch, from birth through the second grade. Summers were miserably hot, and winters not cold enough for snow, but still miserable: the Pacific Ocean moisture that blanketed the Sierra Nevada range, providing the water to irrigate the valleys when the snowpack melted, was just less plentiful, miserable rain in the winter.
2305 Beasley Avenue, my parents house, is a 1953 build, for soldiers returning home from the Korean War, 3 bedrooms, one bath, living room, small kitchen, and garage, now guesstimated to be worth $510,000. The front yard has been almost entirely concreted, and, if you look at the photo, the windows on the left were for my bedroom, the small window to the left of the front door is for the bathroom, and the window to the right of the door goes into the kitchen.
The windows shown are replacements; when I lived there, they were bare aluminum frame windows that opened to the outside by hand-cranks, and the interior casements were plaster, not wood frames.
If that house was here, it would be estimated as worth maybe $100,000.
Don’t know, but if the data is correct it wouldn’t matter if it were published or not.
What data? Did you even read the piece?

Thus we see the fruits of lawsuits to rake oil and power companies for “climate damage”. Someone has to actually go out and cause damage to blame on the climate. One thing is for certain. The people who suffered loss in those fires will not be beneficiaries to any largess stolen in those courts. Nor will insurance companies recover what they paid in claims. The climate court cases are all about the money for Democrats. And they don’t share.
I wonder how much money for the fire victims they could raise if they chopped up this guy and auctioned off his body parts? Or maybe they could tie him up to a post and sell tickets to take a swing at him with a buggy whip? And sell the payperview rights.
Because I doubt he has enough normal assets to compensate anybody.
The estimable Mr Dana recognizes the economic principle of “supply and demand”.
While he or I may not understand why people love them some California, they do. And we should be grateful they do!
Besides their agricultural contributions, the people of California pay over $800 BILLION in federal taxes, some of which is remitted to people in the Blue Moon* state!! Per person, Californians DONATE $3,200 MORE to the feds than they receive. In contrast, Kentuckians RECEIVE $8,500 MORE per person than they pay in!
California has the largest GDP of all the US states. (NY has the largest per capita)
My late high school dropout brother would drive me around his Huntington Beach neighborhood and ask, what would a house like that cost in St Louis. $100,000 I’d respond. Nah, about $1 million!! His wife was in real estate. He left the Ozarks for CA when he was 20ish as a car salesman. He was very good at it.
