    DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A federal judge sentenced an Arizona woman on Thursday to six years in prison for using a cutting torch to damage the Dakota Access pipeline in Iowa and setting fire to pipeline equipment in three counties in 2016 and 2017. The judge also ordered Ruby Katherine Montoya, 32, to pay nearly $3.2 million in restitution together with Jessica Reznicek, a woman who helped her. Montoya pleaded guilty to conspiracy to damage an energy facility. She admitted to helping Reznicek and others damage the pipeline in several locations in Iowa. “The sentence imposed today demonstrates that...

    Poland's foreign minister says his country has evidence that Russia recruited people on the Telegram messaging service to carry out last year's massive shopping centre fire in Warsaw. Speaking to the BBC in an exclusive interview, Radek Sikorski said Moscow's actions were "completely unacceptable" and that a second Russian consulate in Poland had been closed as a result. His comments come after a Polish investigation concluded that the Marywilska shopping centre fire was orchestrated by Moscow's intelligence services. Russia denied its involvement, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov accusing Poland of being "Russophobic".

    A fire blazing at a Tesla charging station in Fargo, North Dakota, on Friday is believed to be intentionally set, the city’s battalion chief said. Acts of domestic terrorism against Tesla continue despite the federal government threatening arsonists and vandals with heavy prison fines. Fargo firefighters, who responded to a 3:15 a.m. fire at the Tesla charging station in the parking lot of Scheels on 45th Street South, revealed they found burned wood chips and a gas can near the scene of the incident, according to a report by InForum. One of the charging stations was smoking while a small...

    LOS ANGELES (KTLA) – A man and a woman from Oregon were arrested over the weekend for reportedly impersonating firefighters as they attempted to enter a Palisades Fire evacuation zone in what appeared to be a legitimate fire engine, officials announced Sunday. In a news release, officials with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department said the suspects, identified as 31-year-old Dustin Nehl and 44-year-old Jennifer Nehl, were spotted by LAPD patrol officers on Jan. 18. Not believing the fire truck was legitimate, police relayed the information to sheriff’s deputies, who caught up to the suspects. LASD said that when they contacted...

    Not quite six years ago, wildfire expert Jack Cohen, who lives in Missoula, Mont., visited Pacific Palisades to instruct firefighters and property owners on how to protect homes against wildfires. Three days of training, including a tour of the community, left Cohen hopeful, but the feeling faded when it became clear that his lessons were not going to be fully implemented. This week’s tragedy has left him with a deep sadness. Respected by fire agencies across the country, Cohen and Pyne have found their straight-talk admonitions often disregarded or dismissed. Sensitive to losses and suffering, both said they are motivated...

    Democrats, especially those who want to disclaim responsibility for catastrophic Dem mismanagement, are screeching that the Los Angeles fires are a result of “climate change.” A federal scientist who has spent decades studying such matters rejects the politicized hypothesis. There is no climate crisis, and climate alarmists have not been right in one single major prediction in over half a century, so it is always wise to take assertions of climate change-fueled disaster with caution. Now, Jon Keeley, U.S. Geological Survey scientist, has told Public, “I don't think these fires are the result of climate change. ... We’ve looked at...

    BY THE OREGONIAN/OREGONLIVE (Compiled from news accounts, court records, public notices) Last week's arrest of a long-sought accused eco-saboteur pushed the spotlight back on a tight-knit cell of radical environmentalists responsible for a $48 million run of firebombings and other crimes across the West in the 1990s and early 2000s. Six men and five women prosecuted in Oregon received sentences ranging from three years to 13 years. They were arrested starting in 2005 in what the FBI called "Operation Backfire," a task force that tracked down the suspects with the help of an informant deep within the underground group....

    Hawaii’s Democrat governor said Wednesday that parties involved in lawsuits regarding the 2023 wildfires are nearing a settlement. The lawsuits were brought against the state, Maui County, and utilities following the devastating wildfires that tore across Lahaina and left residents devastated in August of 2023, the Associated Press (AP) reported on Wednesday. As the fires raged, Governor Josh Green said they were “likely the largest natural disaster in Hawaii’s state history,” according to Breitbart News. Video footage shows the fires ravaging the community as people tried to escape: Per Wednesday’s AP report, Green explained the settlement of claims will come...

    CLAIM: The Biden campaign is repeating a lie that former President Donald Trump tear-gassed peaceful protesters gathered outside of the White House in Lafayette Square for a photo-op. VERDICT: FALSE. This has been debunked countless times and has been proven false. The inspector general of the U.S. Department of Interior released a report in June 2021 that exonerated Trump from claims that he had tear-gassed peaceful protesters gathered in Lafayette Square in June 2020 to walk through the park to have a photo-op at St. John’s Episcopal Church.

    Wildfires raging across six of Canada's 13 provinces and territories have caused havoc nationwide for the last six weeks - forcing mass evacuations and burning through more than 3.3 million hectares of land, larger than the state of Maryland. With the smoke now billowing down to the East Coast of the United States, affecting 75 million Americans, the dire threat to Canada's forests has come into sharp focus. Some blame lax forest management, arguing that not enough controlled burns are being carried out thanks to campaigns by environmentalists. In 2020, four scientists wrote a paper published in Progress in Disaster...

    Dozens of attacks on churches, pregnancy crisis centers, and pro-life groups around the nation have drawn an FBI investigation and questions from lawmakers about whether the Biden administration is doing enough to stop them. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) sent a letter to FBI Director Chris Wray this week calling for a briefing on the issue and urging Wray to ensure these “violent attacks are recognized by the FBI and are being properly investigated for what they are—cases of abortion-related violent extremism. “There have been at least 40 violent attacks on crisis pregnancy centers, religious institutions, and other pro-life entities since...
