You may not have seen this particular little drama, but it ranks up there with Zippy and Joe the Plumber. It's starting to make the rounds, as it's quite the little slice of life.
You all remember those moments when Brandon would take an accusatory tone toward Fake News when they asked him a real question.
C'mon, man, gimme a break.
This is better. True ambush journalism, only it's the people, one woman, ambushing one of the sleazier politicos of our time. He thought he was Emperor of California. And his reaction is classic Lurch, of the "Do you know who I am" mantra, when one of the peons defied him. Only she is having none of it.
And why not? She's just lost her home, her santum sanctorum, the place where she made love to her husband, raised her kids, spent Christmases, watched the years pass with a sweet sadness, where she would spend her final days. And now it's gone.
And she's mad as Hell and somebody's going to pay.
The story goes, in the middle of WWII, the SS announced that the Jewish husbands of Gentile women would be sent to concentration camps. Word got out and said Gentile women showed up at SS HQ in Berlin to protest.
En masse.
Hitler's war had already taken their fathers, brothers, uncles, and probably more than a few sons. This was the last straw.
As you might imagine, the policy was dropped.
This is the same thing. This is the sound of rebellion. This is why Trump won.

This is big. Too obvious to ignore or dismiss with any credability.
As you said, it was one person, in the immediacy and reality of the loss and devastation she was experiencing, poking a hole in the pretence and obfuscation to call for truth. For as thick and unpenatrable as the fog of lies and foolishness has been in recent years, it's been the focused efforts of one person, over and over, that have managed to cut through it with Light.
And that brings me back to your Christmas post: "I've never forgotten how that light turned everything around that year and how somebody's effort, not what they bought, made things better. "
While it's been more than one person, in the overall, it's been individual decisions, efforts and declarations that have been successful in permeating the group think. Trump, Vance, Elon, Rogan on down to Barron's suggestions, and whoever it was on the team that came up with the garage truck scenario.
Here, it's a woman who lost life as she knew it. Those whose houses in or near the burned area made it through, are still faced with the surrounding destruction and school and community devastation. It's hard to take in and get ahold of how big and long term this really is.
The Nero Did It bunch would be right at home. If there's a Tarpeian Rock in LA, Nuisance better avoid it like the plague.
