A massive fire that erupted on Monday in the Texas Panhandle has quickly become the second largest fire in state history‚ engulfing more than 850‚000 acres. The Smokehouse Creek Fire has killed at least one person‚ destroyed numerous homes‚ and killed livestock across the vast ranch lands‚ according to a report from The New York Times. Governor Greg Abbott directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management (DEM) to deploy additional state emergency response resources to support efforts to address the fire. “As dangerous wildfires continue to impact the Texas Panhandle‚ I directed DEM to immediately deploy additional wildfire response resources to ensure the safety of Texans and impacted communities‚” Abbott said. “Thank you to our federal partners at FEMA for quickly approving Texas’ request for grant assistance as we continue to fight these dangerous wildfires. I encourage Texans in affected areas to heed the guidance of local officials and first responders and to take all necessary precautions to keep your family and loved ones safe. We continue to work alongside TDEM‚ local officials‚ and emergency response personnel to provide all available resources to protect our fellow Texans.” Abbott’s office said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approved a Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) request for the fires‚ which means the state will be eligible to be reimbursed by the federal government for up to 75% of the costs associated with fighting those fires.

Portions of South Texas continue to face increased wildfire risk‚ as well as East Texas‚ amid active burns. Additionally‚ the Texas A&;M Forest Service raised the Wildland Fire Preparedness Level to Level 3 today due to an increase in current and expected wildfire activity over the next several days.” The Smokehouse Creek fire continues to rage in the Texas Panhandle. The fire has been updated to 850‚000 acres and is at 3% containment. #TXwx pic.twitter.com/FQCEZr7HMV — WeatherNation (@WeatherNation) February 29‚ 2024

A Democrat state judge in Illinois ordered on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump must be removed from the presidential ballot‚ claiming that Trump engaged in insurrection during the January 6 riot on the U.S. Capitol. Judge Tracie R. Porter of the State Circuit Court in Cook County ruled that the State Board of Elections “shall remove Donald J. Trump from the ballot for the General Primary Election on March 19‚ 2024‚ or cause any votes cast for him to be suppressed.” Porter stayed her order‚ giving Trump until Friday to appeal her ruling while early voting in the state’s presidential primary is already underway. “The Soros-funded Democrat front-groups continue to attempt to interfere in the election and deny President Trump his rightful place on the ballot‚” a spokesperson for the Trump Campaign said in a statement. “Today‚ an activist Democrat judge in Illinois summarily overruled the state’s board of elections and contradicted earlier decisions from dozens of other state and federal jurisdictions. This is an unconstitutional ruling that we will quickly appeal. In the meantime‚ President Trump remains on the Illinois ballot‚ is dominating the polls‚ and will Make America Great Again!” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP This is a breaking news story; refresh the page for updates.

The University of California-Santa Barbara suspended its “Multicultural Center” just a day after the center made clear that Jews were not welcome and suggested that Jews drink blood. The Multicultural Center MCC held a “collective action” on Monday‚ where visible signs in the doors read “Zionists not welcome.” Signs in the windows said “F— pinkwashing. Queers for Palestine‚” “Zionism is terrorism‚” and “when people are occupied‚ resistance is justified.” There were more than 100 signs inside the building‚ including “Dykes 4 Palestine‚” “DEI is white supremacy‚” “Zionists — just say you hate black‚ brown and indigenous‚” and some that targeted the student association president for being “neutral.” Chancellor Henry T. Yang  wrote in an email to students that there were “offensive social media messages and signage at the Multicultural Center entrance. Campus offices are reviewing these unauthorized and unofficial messages‚” the school paper reported. “The posting of such messages is a violation of our principles of community and inclusion.” Students Supporting Israel‚ a pro-Israel campus group‚ said that the multicultural center was excluding the Jewish community. “While the MCC prides itself on dedicating to creating a safe and inclusive space for cultural minorities‚ this attempt aims to silence‚ threaten‚ intimidate‚ and discriminate against the Jewish community‚” the group said. The Multicultural Center (MCC) social media “invoked antisemitism‚ including the notorious blood libel‚ saying: ‘Why does our school support a regime to feast on the blood of our fellow humans‚’” USCB’s Hillel‚ a Jewish group‚ said. “For over 24 hours‚ these messages went unchallenged while extremist elements celebrated the latest attempt to harass‚ bully‚ and intimidate Jewish students.” The gathering took place from 9am until after 3pm‚ and university administration were present‚ the school paper said. The UCSB MCC’s official Instagram account wrote “in case we aren’t clear‚ let us spell it out” above a picture of the front doors with signs saying “Zionists not welcome.” The day after Hamas’ October 7 massacre‚ UCSB Sociology Department Chair Lisa Hajjar celebrated online‚ and UCSB students ripped down posters of Israeli hostages. UCSB History Professor Butch Ware has vocally espoused the most unhinged rhetoric surrounding Israel‚ with his Instagram claiming that it is a conspiracy that Hamas rapes people‚ and that “the white Supremacist settlers are the actual r*apists.” Another post is titled “The Death Of Israel‚” continuing that “settler colonial states have a terminal shelf life.” In yet another post‚ he wrote that we are witnessing “the final collapse of Zionism” and “every doctrine of racial supremacy.” On October 22‚ as Ware went on an anti-Israel tirade‚ one Jewish parent wrote to Chancellor Yang calling attention to a speech where Ware said of Israel‚ “slay the beast. Don’t cut off the tentacles‚ stab it in the heart and the tentacles die.” The email‚ reviewed by The Daily Wire‚ called him a “a black Muslim activist who is bent on tying BLM type actions to Palestinian causes.” Yang did not reply. A year ago‚ the MCC held an “anti-hate” event with “ethnic studies” activist Professor Diane Fujino‚ who is married to Matef Harmachis‚ who advocated to exclude Jews from California’s ethnic studies curriculum‚ arguing that they “did precious little to help bring ES to our university and college campuses. And now they believe they have some say in the matter?” Harmachis was previously suspended from his job after grabbing a boy who was wearing an Israel shirt‚ and later fired and convicted of battery of another student. Also on Monday at UC’s Berkeley campus‚ protesters broke windows‚ intimidated students‚ and incited a mob because of the presence of an Israeli speaker‚ Ron Bar-Yoshafat.  WATCH: UC Berkeley Jewish Students Forced To Evacuate After Mob Storms Event With IDF Soldier The University of California system‚ the largest university system in the world‚ was on the verge of allowing anti-Semites to make “ethnic studies” mandatory for high schoolers before they could even apply‚ a move that would force the content onto public and private high schools across the country.  A committee of the University of California’s Academic Senate narrowly voted not to advance a proposal under pressures from the Board of Regents after Jews pointed the regents to how UC ethnic studies professors explicitly opposed a “guardrail” that would prevent ethnic studies from encouraging “bias‚ bigotry‚ or discrimination‚” which the proessors said prevented them from teaching about Israel.
