That is STILL not the original "firefall".
On a family trip in 1966, we spent a week in Yosemite. Camp Curry was in the valley below Glacier Point and they had a ceremony every night where an employee in Curry would use a bullhorn to call up to the workers on the Point. He would call "Is the fire ready?" and the reply was "The fire's ready!". Curry called back up saying "Let the fire fall !" and the workers on the Point would start using very long handles rakes to push the pile of burning fir chips over the cliff's edge. The pile had started out as about 8' wide by 6' high and deep. The embers were allowed to drop to a ledge about 900' below the cliff.
This was finally stopped in 1968 because of the crowds and traffic jams it caused and that it was deemed "not natural".

This is what happens when they use the Japanese version of "google translate". They use similar nouns and adjectives without applying context. The girls only price, though has to be intentional. LOL

This is not an "image". It is a link to a very interesting article. Here is part of it -

What was it that Washington DC and President Obama’s team feared so much about Donald J Trump?

The answer to that question is why the FBI, DOJ and CIA targeted Trump in 2016; and why they continued the targeting in 2017 with the Mueller investigation; and why they continued the targeting through two attempts at impeachment in 2019 and 2020; and why they still keep targeting Donald Trump with the J6 committee and a DOJ investigation two years after he is no longer in office.

Donald J Trump is the existential threat.
