A raging fire believed to be arson wiped out a 1.2 million-square-foot tissue paper warehouse in California that serves the needs of roughly 50 million people, authorities said April 8. The six-alarm blaze in Ontario, California, happened at a warehouse leased by personal care and hygiene giant Kimberly-Clark early in the morning. There were no injuries to the roughly 20 employees who were in the building at the time of the fire, according to Fox 11 Los Angeles.

As he should be.

People are having to work two to three jobs to make ends meet.

Meanwhile Trump is wasting billions on Israel's wars and he and the Epstein class are throwing Great Gatsby Galas for themselves.

UPDATE ON ONTARIO ARSON: "The paper product alone that was inside of the warehouse was worth $500 million. The building itself was worth $150 million."

Chamel Abdulkarim is first facing state charges and then a federal arson charge for his Tuesday act.

U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli announced that the federal arson charge against Abdulkarim carries a minimum of 5 years in prison and a maximum of 20 years.

Essayli confirmed that Abdulkarim posted Instagram video showing himself lighting the fires and saying, "You know, if you're not going to pay us enough to effing live, or afford to live, at least pay us enough to not do this."

Combined with the state charges and over $500 million in damages, Abdulkarim is potentially facing life in prison. He's lucky nobody lost their life as a result of him creating that massive inferno.
