I enjoy conspiracy theories as clickbait as much as the next person. I am also as enraged as the next person that our firefighters’ reservoir was empty in my beloved Pacific Palisades and my street burned to the ground. My insurance was indeed canceled by State Farm just before the inferno created the worst natural disaster in history. I wouldn’t doubt that Gavin Newsom would be involved in any kind of chicanery to any depth imaginable. He is the most vile person in America. And finally I, too, am as disturbed by the seemingly obvious malfeasance of the Maui fires. Yes, it all be appears to be a witch’s brew of murderous behavior by speculators with no conscious or heart. 

BUT, here’s what’s wrong with this story. Nobody can go door to door in the Palisades today. It’s locked up tighter than a drum. National Guard and police are everywhere and they are being ruthless in their diligence, and I and my neighbors thank them for it.

It’s soothing to the soul to imagine corporate boogeymen burning our homes and lives to the ground, but sadly it was just Democrats ruining lives, as they always do.
