Biden’s California Dream

Biden's California Dream

I was surprised to read (in The Los Angeles Times) that the Biden administration’s “role model for America” is… California! He wants to “Make America California.”

That’s is a terrible idea.

Californians now rush to move out of California.

New York & California Democratic Voters: You Got What You Voted For

Guest Post by PF Whalen

Twentieth-century journalist H.L Mencken was notoriously cynical, particularly when it came to the virtues of democracy. One of Mencken’s more colorful comments on the topic came when he offered the following observation, “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” Over one hundred years after that statement was made, there is arguably no better example of its occasional accuracy than the situations we currently see unfolding in New York and California.

Southern California’s Neoliberal Impacts During the Pandemic

Southern California’s Neoliberal Impacts During the Pandemic

I live in Southern California, where generations of my family have lived since the 1880s. All I know about the Spanish influenza epidemic of 1919 I learned through history books in university. My grandmother wouldn’t talk about it. Oddly, in the case of a pandemic, the past to me is not so very helpful.

In the case of the present pandemic, first-hand observation will have to suffice. Since shutting down for two weeks to “bend the curve” on March 16, Los Angeles County has lived under endless restriction. The closest thing we have seen to normalcy is restaurant dining outdoors and limited numbers of people being allowed to shop in essential stores as defined by California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Los Angeles County never really saw new cases of the coronavirus go down significantly. Now it is rampant, and our hospitals are full of the merely sick and the almost dead.

California Population Hits 40 Million, Leadership Encourages More Immigration

Guest Post by Joe Guzzardi

California

The California Department of Finance announced that the state’s population fell just 40,000 people short of a historic 40 million residents. Sacramento demographers, as well as population experts nationwide, agree that California will reach a nightmarish 50 million people by mid-century. The easiest way to understand the effect of 50 million residents on Californians’ quality of life is to imagine 25 percent more drivers on the roads, more students in the classrooms, more housing and more patients in hospital waiting rooms.

Defecation Nation

Via The Washington Times,

America is getting pooped, thanks to trend-setting California. There is no getting around the fact that the Golden State is at the forefront of a defecation crisis which is already overflowing into neighboring states. The Left Coast has become the home of the homeless, the nation’s lost souls who apparently have settled for simply existing rather than really living. Sleeping out in the open spaces and pooping in public places are jarring signs that a segment of society has given up. The demoralizing, downward spiral is likely to accelerate unless Americans resolve to clean up their act.
