Sep 1, 2025 ~ 'Gavin Newsom Has Republicans on the Ropes on Crime Because They Can't Speak the Truth' Newsom is having fun pointing out that several blue states have higher crime and murder rates than CA. CA ranks high in crime but still behind 8 red states. Republicans have a true answer that it makes no sense to compare at state levels. All the very low crime counties bring down the average and a big state like CA has lots of those compared to smaller states. An accurate picture can be seen by looking at the county level. And when you do that, it becomes very apparent that all of the highest crime counties are blue counties regardless of whether they are in red or blue states. And similarly, almost all of the very low crime counties are red counties.   Morefield points out an underlying truth that the crime rate in any given county is directly proportional to the percentage of black people in the county (again regardless of if the county is in a red or blue 'state'). Republicans are reluctant to point out for fear of falsely being called 'racists' and that is inevitable. False accusations of racism are still heavily used to shut down the exposing of uncomfortable truths. But it is sometimes necessary to tell the truth or the complete wrong conclusions will be drawn from spin like Newsom's. [California, Crime, Fake Racism, Politics]
Aug 22, 2025 ~ "Bed Bath & Beyond Says It Will No Longer Operate in California’s ‘Overregulated’ System"   Executive Chairman Marcus Lemonis: "California’s system makes it nearly impossible for businesses to succeed, and I won’t put our company, our employees, or our customers in that position." "We will not open or operate retail stores in California. This decision isn’t about politics — it’s about reality. California has created one of the most overregulated, expensive, and risky environments for businesses in America. It’s a system that makes it harder to employ people, harder to keep doors open, and harder to deliver value to customers. The result? Higher taxes, higher fees, higher wages that many businesses simply cannot sustain, and endless regulations that strangle growth. Even when the state announces a budget surplus, it’s built on the backs of ordinary citizens who are paying too much and businesses who are squeezed until they break."   He didn't even mention that CA has legalized shoplifting. They barely enforce laws of any kind, letting criminals out immediately. Why would any business try to operate in such a place? [California, Crime, Regulations]
Aug 7, 2025 ~ 'Gerrymander for Me, but Not for Thee'   Democrats are hyperventilation about Texas redistricting. Texas lawmakers are fleeing the state to prevent a quorum. Democrat politicians, the #FakeNews and other hacks are acting as if this effort is some kind of unique assault on Democracy itself. The reality is that Democrats have Gerrymandered the HELL out of their own states.   For example, Republicans "win nearly 44% of the popular vote in Illinois congressional races and only about 17% of the congressional seats." Illinois, which is ironically where the Texas Democrats fled to has many ridiculous looking districts to achieve the above result.   California is similarly massively gerrymandered: "Republicans won nearly 40% of the congressional vote in the Golden State in 2024 but only about 17% of the House seats." Republicans only hold 9 of 52 CA House seats.   Charles Cooke explains: "There are only two possible worlds here: A world in which neither party gerrymanders the states they control, and a world in which both parties do. There can be no plausible system in which Maryland is a gerrymandered state but Florida isn’t, or in which Illinois has been sliced-and-diced but Ohio remains pure. We now live in the latter world. I cannot be expected to care about it only in one direction."  Update: Arthur Schaper: "For the record, the Texas GOP is not gerrymandering, but rather un-gerrymandering, or unmandering. Their new GOP-leaning districts are more compact, race-neutral, and more respectful of the territorial, cultural, and municipal boundaries. In other words, more democratic." [California, Politics]
Jul 28, 2025 ~ 'Trump Jabs At Newsom After $100 Million In FireAid Concert Funds Don’t Go Directly To Victims' As was promised, "'FIREAID' IS A TOTAL DISASTER. LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER DEMOCRAT INSPIRED SCAM. 100 MILLION DOLLARS IS MISSING. WAS SUPPOSED TO TO GO TO THE LOS ANGELES FIRE VICTIMS, FIRES THAT, WITH PROPER MANAGEMENT, WOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN HAPPENED. GOVERNOR NEWSCUM REFUSED TO RELEASE BILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT WOULD HAVE MADE! I HAVE SINCE OVERRULED HIM, AND IT IS NOW RELEASED. All FEDERAL HOUSING PERMITS HAVE ALSO BEEN APPROVED, THE CITY IS YEARS LATE. GET THE FIRE VICTIMS THEIR APPROVALS TO REBUILD, AND DO IT NOW!" [California]
Jul 21, 2025 ~ "California Burger Chain on Moving Operations to Tennessee: 'Doing Business is Not Easy Here'" A California icon: In-n-Out is moving its headquarters Out. Just like many businesses before it. "Raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here now." CA is self destructing. [California, Economics, Regulations]
Jul 20, 2025 ~ 'Finally: Trump Derails California's No-Speed Rail Boondoggle' "The entire project was expected to be completed five years ago, with service between San Francisco and Los Angeles running continuously." "Fifteen billion dollars in federal funding have already disappeared into this boondoggle" over 17 YEARS and 0 MILES of track to show for it. This is insane even by Democrat party and California standards. Trump is pulling the plug on this taxpayer theft. [California, DOGE, Trump Win]
Jun 27, 2025 ~ "DOE Concludes CA in ‘Clear Violation‘ of Title IX Over Trans Athletes" "California discriminated against women and girls on the basis of sex by allowing transgender-identifying males to compete on their sports teams and occupy their bathrooms and locker rooms, a Department of Education (DOE) investigation concluded." Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said, “The Trump Administration will relentlessly enforce Title IX protections for women and girls, and our findings today make clear that California has failed to adhere to its obligations under federal law. The state must swiftly come into compliance with Title IX or face the consequences that follow.” [California, Trans, Trans Athletes]
Jun 1, 2025 ~ 'California Changes the Rules for Trans High School Athletes in Girls’ Sports'   Trump posted about A. B. Hernandez, a 17-year-old junior at Jurupa Valley High School in Ontario, Calif., who in February won a girls’ triple jump event by eight feet more than any other competitor and is winning events left and right in CA.   Trump, "California, under the leadership of Radical Left Democrat Gavin Newscum, continues to ILLEGALLY allow 'MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN’S SPORTS.' This week a transitioned Male athlete, at a major event, won 'everything,' and is now qualified to compete in the 'State Finals' next weekend. As a Male, he was a less than average competitor. As a Female, this transitioned person is practically unbeatable. THIS IS NOT FAIR, AND TOTALLY DEMEANING TO WOMEN AND GIRLS. Please be hereby advised that large scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to. The Governor, himself, said it is “UNFAIR.” I will speak to him today to find out which way he wants to go??? In the meantime I am ordering local authorities, if necessary, to not allow the transitioned person to compete in the State Finals. This is a totally ridiculous situation!!!"   "A few hours later... the California Interscholastic Federation, which governs high school athletics in the state, announced that girls who fell one spot short of making the cut for the upcoming statewide championship at qualifying meets around the state will now be allowed to compete." This small change, designed to address the fact that biological males like AB are taking the spots of girls that should be in the competition, it is entirely inadequate to address the problem in general. Boys will still be beating girls and taking their victories. Now they will be beating more girls than before. [California, Trans, Trans Athletes, Trump Win]
Mar 7, 2025 ~ 'Gavin Newsom splits with Dems on trans athletes in women’s sports' Newsom pisses off the anti-science, anti-women Democrats by admitting that its not fair for biological males to compete in female sports. “I think it’s an issue of fairness; I completely agree with you on that. It is an issue of fairness — it’s deeply unfair.” [California, Politics, Trans, Trans Athletes]
Mar 4, 2025 ~ 'Former LA Fire Chief Firing Appeal Getting Messy' LA Mayor Karen Bass tried to scapegoat Kristin Crowley. Bass tried to say she wasn't properly warned of the conditions but Crowley brought receipts that she was warned (and Bass passed along that warning) about not just the conditions but the underfunding of the Fire Dept and what would be the consequences of that. Months before the big fire, Crowley told Bass that her $17 million in budget cuts "severely limited the department's capacity to prepare for, train for, and respond to large-scale emergencies, including wildfires." [California, Politics]
Feb 23, 2025 ~ 'A Wooden Stake Through the Heart of California High Speed Rail?' They already wasted $16 billion with nothing to show. Now its estimated to cost $100 billion, 3X more than projected. Obviously its never going to be completed. The Secretary of Transportation is trying to claw back billions before its flushed down the toilet. [California, DOGE]
Feb 15, 2025 ~ 'Trump Works to End California's Man-Made Drought' Trump has to go in and fix problems that should be fixed at the state level but thanks to Democrat policies, they have not been. Trump is putting an end to things like this: "Since 2008, 1.4 trillion gallons of water has been flushed into the San Francisco Bay to protect the Delta smelt... Further, environmental uses of water accounted "for more than 50 percent of the state's flows." "In January 2023, massive storms hit the state. They dumped trillions of gallons of water, but 94% of it drained into the ocean. Part of the problem was that California didn't have the infrastructure to capture more of it. But officials also turned down those pumps to protect the Delta smelt." Unreal. Democrats blame climate change when fires burn down homes but this is all their own fault. [California, Climate Change, Due Process, Trump Win]
Jan 24, 2025 ~ 'A California Sailing Coach Tried to Protect Women from Male Competition. He Paid the Price' Biological male Jennifer DesCombe was not only winning in the women's category, he was making women uncomfortable in the locker rooms. Dennis Allison spoke up for the women and was forced to resign. [California, Cancel Culture, Trans, Trans Athletes]
Jan 19, 2025 ~ "LA Fires -- One-Party City and State Blames 'Climate Change'" These LA fires are California's worst natural disaster. 24 dead; 12,000 structures destroyed. 300k evacuated. Mayor Karen Bass was in Ghana Africa after saying she should not use taxpayer money to travel out of the country. Being called Nero since there was a severe fire threat when she left. Before the fire, the fire chief told the mayor they were severely understaffed and underfunded. No money for firefighting but CA spends billions of DEI initiatives and climate change. Large portion of fire engines were inoperative. A key reservoir was totally dry and new reservoirs were never built (to allegedly help some useless fish) after decades of knowing they were needed. Many hydrants did not work. The foliage was never managed leading to significantly increased fire threat. Arson was also involved. Bass and Gov. Newsom blame 'climate change' even though these exact conditions have been present recently in CA and throughout its entire history. Other democrats blame 'racism' and 'sexism' for any criticism of Bass and her mishandling of the preparation and situation. All typical blame shifting for democrats but its not going to work this time... [California, CRT DIE Wokeness, Environment, Fake News, Fake Racism, Fake Sexism, Politics]
Nov 23, 2024 ~ 'SF Police Figured Out Who has Been Robbing Walgreens' The most amazing part of this story: There is one store that gets robbed 20 times a day! The only reason this is allowed is that we hold one group of people to a lower standard than every other. #DEI [California, Crime, CRT DIE Wokeness]
Oct 13, 2024 ~ 'Newsom Signs Bill Banning Single-use Propane Cylinders for Camping' California is totally out of control banning everything. All of this will not make the slightest difference to the climate. [California, Climate Change, Regulations]
Jul 28, 2024 ~ "Elon Musk Announces SpaceX And X HQs Moving Out Of California With Gender Identity Reporting Law Being ‘The Final Straw’" He already moved Tesla out. Many companies and individuals are fleeing the hellscape caused by Democrats. "I did make it clear to Governor Newsom about a year ago that laws of this nature would force families and companies to leave California to protect their children." [California, CRT DIE Wokeness, Economics, Trans]
Jun 8, 2024 ~ 'California Setting Up It's Next Energy Disaster' Just like CA set itself up for water shortages by not building any reservoirs while population more than doubles, they are setting up an energy disaster by shutting down refineries. "No new refineries have opened since the 1960s. In fact, according to CEC data, more than 60% of the refineries opened in California during the last 100 years are now closed or idle." "Instead of fostering innovation, state policies have actively sought to put refineries out of business." [California, Climate Change, Economics, Energy]
Jun 6, 2024 ~ "California ‘clean energy’ company set to bulldoze more than 3,500 Joshua trees, so coastal homes can go ‘carbon neutral’" The insanity continues. So called 'clean energy' is often very bad for the environment. [California, Climate Change, Environment]
Jun 6, 2024 ~ The insane California $20 minimum wage keeps taking its toll. Besides killing tens of thousands of jobs, cutting hours, raising prices, causing reduced hours and closings, now Rubio's Coastal Grill is closing all 48 locations in California. [California, Economics, Minimum Wage]
May 4, 2024 ~ If tearing down American flags and chanting "Death to America" did not convince you that the anti-Israel protesters were also, anti-American, here is a UCLA protest spokesperson saying: “I think, given the fact that the University of California is founded on colonialism, it’s inherently a violent institution. There needs to be an addressment (sic) of U.S. imperialism and its ties to the UC system, and how it perpetuates war and violence abroad. Not only abroad, but also here locally.” [California, College, CRT DIE Wokeness, Loathsome Left, Western Civilization]
Apr 7, 2024 ~ 'California Triggers Bloodbath By Raising Minimum Wage To $20 An Hour' Democrats have to keep making the same mistake. CA raised the fast food minimum wage (except for big Newsom donors) to $20. Predictable mass layoffs, hours cut and closings followed. Restarants are ordering self service kiosks so fast that there is a temporary shortage. [California, Economics, Minimum Wage]
Feb 25, 2024 ~ Yale, Dartmouth and other woke schools are reluctantly re-instating the SAT test after formerly deciding that the test was 'racist' and anti-DIE because all the races didn't do exactly the same. Their studies found what everyone with a brain already new. That SAT scores are the single best predictor of students’ academic performance. "This is true even after controlling for family income and other demographic variables." The SAT was never biased against certain races. Many colleges still reject it in the name of DIE including all University of California schools. [Affirmative Action, California, College, CRT DIE Wokeness, Fake Racism]
Jan 14, 2024 ~ 'California’s Legal War against Activision Blizzard Shows the Process Is the Punishment' 'Activision Blizzard will pay $54 million — and the state will admit that no investigation, including its own, “has substantiated any allegations that: there has been systemic or widespread sexual harassment at Activision Blizzard.” Nor is there any evidence, California now admits, “that Activision Blizzard senior executives ignored, condoned, or tolerated a culture of systemic, harassment, retaliation, or discrimination; or that Activision Blizzard’s Board of Directors including its Chief Executive Officer, Robert Kotick, acted improperly with regard to the handling of any instances of workplace misconduct.”' Its pure extortion. The case had no merit but the state wears them down until they cry uncle and give them a big payday. [California, Fake Sexism, Regulations]
Nov 10, 2023 ~ CA Muirlands Middle School suspended a boy and banned him from sporting events for the rest of the year for wearing normal football 'eye black' to a game. The principal said it was 'black face' playing a mostly black school but it was 100% consistent with how pro athletes do it. [California, Cancel Culture, Fake Racism]
Oct 22, 2023 ~ Jazz Shaw, 'The Poster Boy For the Death of San Francisco' Joseph Adam Moore is a homeless convicted pedophile who deals drugs across the street from an elementary school. His signs advertise "Meth for stolen items" and "Free fentanyl for new users." He was previously convicted of raping a 12 year old girl and was accused of having sex with a 15 year old within a month of being released. Anyway, police have occasionally brought him in but San Fran releases him immediately. Welcome to a locale run by Democrats. Stay away, obviously! [California, Crime, CRT DIE Wokeness, Drugs, Loathsome Left]
Oct 13, 2023 ~ You can't make this up. California just passed a law creating an 'Ebony alert' to be used as an Amber Alert for missing black people. CA also has a 'feather alert' to be used for missing Indian people. Just when you think the left cannot get any more ridiculous and divisive. Bill Maher says Democrats are so adicted to playing 'identity politics', they are even "segregating kidnapping." [California, CRT DIE Wokeness, Identity Politics]
Oct 9, 2023 ~ San Francisco like many other Democrat run, crime ridden hell holes continues to lose businesses which just can't remain open in lawless war zones with druggies living on the streets. Starbucks is closing 7 more locations in San Fran. About 40 other stores have already closed. [California, Crime]
Oct 9, 2023 ~ Gavin Newsom replaces the late Dianne Feinstein with Laphonza Butler @LaphonzaB, a Black lesbian who doesn't even live in California. Why pick a Californian to represent California when you can check THREE 'oppression' boxes in one person: black, gay, woman. This is the left. [California, CRT DIE Wokeness, Identity Politics]
Sep 11, 2023 ~ The California Assembly passes AB 957 which allows the state to take custody of children away from parents who do not 'affirm' their child's trans or 'non-binary' gender. The still sane cannot flee California fast enough. [California, CRT DIE Wokeness, Loathsome Left, Trade]
Aug 16, 2023 ~ Charles Cooke, 'California’s Predictable Descent into Petty Lawlessness' A gang of thugs hit Nordstrums for $100K. They hit Yves Saint. Laurent days before and LA Nike days after. Why would anyone try to run a business in California where theft is legal. [California, Crime, Loathsome Left]
Jul 21, 2023 ~ California is adding 3 more states to the list of states employees are banned from traveling to bringing the number to 23! Almost half the country! To be on the allow list, a state must allow males be permitted to compete in female sports because that's fair and scientific. [California, Cancel Culture, Trans, Trans Athletes]
Jul 16, 2022 ~ CA mom Chelsea Boyle may sue Viejo Elementary for punishing her 7-year-old daughter because she wrote "any life” next to the words “Black Lives Matter” on a BLM picture she made for her black friend. But she wanted to include her other friends too. She was barred from making pictures for her friends and made to sit on the bench for 2 weeks during recess. And she was forced to apologize for saying 'any life.' So heartbreaking. The girl did not understand why she couldn't include her other friends. This is the poison Democrats inject. Viejo Elementary principal Jesus Becerra deemed the drawing to be 'racist' and 'inappropriate'; he stands by his actions.

Apr 10, 2022 ~ CA law requiring corporations based in the state to include racial minorities and LGBT people on their executive boards was struck down by a judge in LA. Declared unconstitutional which it obviously was. Democrats want all jobs filled by skin color, gender and sexual orientation. [Affirmative Action, California, CRT DIE Wokeness, Racism]
Mar 6, 2022 ~ Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are the latest high profile people to flee California. "We are leaving LA. We are a bit sad. But the tax is getting too much." Democrats never learn that by raising taxes super high, they net less money. Their tax base adjusts to avoid including leaving. [California, Economics, Taxes]
Feb 17, 2022 ~ Several woke school board members in San Francisco were voted out in a landslide (75%) because they shut down competitive admissions saying "meritocracy" is racist, accused Asians of using  "white supremacist thinking" and called them "house n-words", renamed Lincoln, Washington. [California, Cancel Culture, CRT DIE Wokeness, Fake Racism, Loathsome Left, Racism]
Jan 15, 2022 ~ Dominic Pino, 'Thieves Steal Directly from Freight Trains in California' "California progressives have been soft on crime, and they’re reaping what they have sown."

Dec 30, 2021 ~ Washington Free Beacon, 'Americans Fled Blue States for Red States in Massive Numbers in 2021, Census Finds' "CA, Illinois, and NY on the decline. Florida, Idaho, and Texas on the rise." No surprise. Left wing policies made those blue states unlivable, high crime hell holes. [California, Crime, Loathsome Left, Politics, Regulations]
Dec 22, 2021 ~ Elon Musk, "California used to be the land of opportunity. Now it has become sort of the land of over-regulation, over-litigation, and scorn."

Dec 20, 2021 ~ Andrea Widburg, 'California’s government is wiping out its pot growers' Predictably, CA Dems have taxed and regulated its legal pot growers out of business driving 75% of sales back to the black market.

Sep 14, 2021 ~ Rose McGowan, " I’m not a Democrat, because everybody who systematically traumatized, terrorized, harassed, stopped and stolen from me during my time in California and in Hollywood has been a Democrat." Larry Elder "is the better candidate. He is the better man." [California, Larry Elder, Me Too]
Aug 1, 2021 ~ Dell can't ship their servers to CA and other moronic states run by Democrats. The poor idiots that still live there get this message when they try to order.

Jul 28, 2021 ~ Due to Democrat pro-crime policies, crime is skyrocketing in San Fran. Stores are leaving.

[California, Crime, Fake Racism, Loathsome Left]
Jul 4, 2021 ~ Target will be closing its stores in San Francisco. "We’ve been experiencing a significant and alarming rise in theft and security incidents at our San Francisco stores."

Jun 29, 2021 ~ The California legislature banned state-funded travel to Texas, South Dakota, Kansas, Iowa, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Idaho, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Florida, Montana, West Virginia, and North Dakota over what CA calls anti-trans laws.
