new fires in l.a.; new fires in l.a.; strange thing--they're all given names these days--just the wrong ones; name them for the politicians who failed their constituency
"(bbc) five new fires have erupted in southern california ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to the state.
"the blazes - named laguna, sepulveda, gibbel, gilman and border 2 - flared up on thursday in the counties of los angeles, San Diego, ventura and riverside.
"firefighters [sic] have made progress in bringing the 10,000-acre Hughes fire in los angeles under control, containing it by 36% since it broke out on wednesday.
"fires have devastated the U.S. state over the last few weeks, with the palisades and Eaton fires scorching a combined total of more than 37,000 acres and killing at least 28 people."
GRA: Since when do fires get names? Bizarre.
But if they want to do such a thing, I have better monikers for these fires:"Karen," "Gavin," "Newsom" and "Bass." There are plenty more democrats in l.a. (city council types, etc.) that can be memorialized with a fire name, I'm sure. The fires could also be named, the "Newsom Jr." blaze, the "Gavin III" fire, etc.
News reporter: "The 'Newsom' fire has killed 15 people so far, while the 'Bass' fire destroyed much of Malibu," would be a much better way to identify the infernos, in my humble opinion.

SIX SERIOUSLY INJURED AS UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT TO U.S. FROM NIGERIA IS FORCED TO TURN BACK DUE TO "TECHNICAL ISSUES".
(the guardian)Multiple people were injured on a United Airlines flight heading from Lagos, Nigeria, to Washington DC last week.
In a statement released on Friday, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria said that a Boeing 787-800 belonging to United Airlines was forced to make an emergency return last Friday.
The plane departed from Murtala Muhammed international airport in Lagos at 11.59pm on 23 January and made the emergency return and landed safely at 3.22am on 24 January.
According to United Airlines, the plane made the emergency return due to a “technical issue and an unexpected aircraft movement”, USA Today reports.
On board the flight were 245 passengers, 11 crew members and three pilots. While all passengers and crew were able to disembark safely following the emergency landing, four passengers and two crew members sustained serious injuries, Faan said, adding an additional 27 passengers and five crew members had minor injuries.
Micheal Achimugu, Nigeria’s director of public affairs and consumer protection at the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), confirmed the incident to Nigeria’s state-run media outlet Radio Nigeria and reassured the public that there had been no fatalities.
Those with minor injuries received first aid and were discharged immediately, according to Faan. Meanwhile, those with serious injuries were stabilized and transferred to the Duchess hospital in Ikeja, the capital city of Lagos state.
Videos posted on social media showed food trays scattered across the aisle as passengers panicked in their seats.
