CA Is Heading Due Left and How You Are Paying For It.
An excellent perspective and assessment of just how much damage Kalifornia can do to all of us. I almost thought I was reading Atlas Shrugged....

The Sierra Nevada Conservancy recently published a new report update detailing the dire state of California forests. The combined effects of bark beetles and drought on overgrown forests in the state resulted in about 83 million trees dying between 2014 and 2016. Overgrown forests facilitated the spread of bark beetles. Trees became more vulnerable as the drought reduced their ability to secrete resin to ward away these insects. Additionally, the drought, warmer temperatures, and overgrown forests fueled large, catastrophic wildfires.
Typical leftist result.... ruin what you claim to be helping.
The people of California has recently voted to release the inmates the committed “non-violent” crimes like rap of underage children. My small town had to fight a judge from the bay area where they wanted to place a convicted child rapist in our town. The convict was being released because of the law that the California voters approved. We only won because the judge felt that the convict would be harassed in our community. If you like living next to convicted felons, California has a community just right for you with a rapist.
California voted to ban plastic bags. Now we can’t have a bag to take our groceries out to the car. Here is the funny part, the law went into effect the night the law past. The lines in the grocery store were incredible, I can tell you how many times I heard “I voted for this law but I had no idea”. I said I read the law and maybe you will next time yourself. A few people complaining about the situation obviously voted for the law, I was a little more direct. One poor idiot threw a tantrum in the middle of the grocery store after he was complaining about the situation and I responded that the idiots that voted for the law because they didn’t read the law. Started to throw is food around the store after purchase. I’m assuming he voted for the law… If you like to carry grocery bags into the store, you should move to California…
California restricts tobacco and e-cigarettes but allows recreational pot. They just increased tobacco tax by another $2.00 dollars. If you smoke pot, move to California…
California forces alternative life style education of your children, removing the rights of the parents to op they children out of the education. They have an on campus “club” to promote this lifestyle and children that attend are asked what sex they think they are… They are offered 16 different sexes to pick from. If you don’t see a problem with this, you should move to California…
California allows for people to use the bathroom or locker room that they self-identify as in that particular moment. If you can’t see the problem with this, you should move to California.
I could go on but I must get back to work so I can pay the way of the other Californians. Once you all move to California, I’ll leave.
Their indoctrinated minds just can't cope with freedom.
1. A limited central gov't, leaving power to the states
2. Features to make sure all states had a voice.
We have just eroded and stopped following #1.
Regarding #2, the boundaries are no longer along the state lines. When they founded the country, some states were agricultural and some were industrial. They made one gov't that would work for both. Now the lines are more along urban/rural.
An immediate thing they could do is #1- start following the Constitution. I don't know exactly what to do about #2. My thought is #2 as the founders created it is completely broken, but it wouldn't matter as much if we had kept #1.
I have been a part of this trend for over 40 years. I'll skip the details. Came to CA when it was paradise (mostly), left for greener pastures 15 years ago to central Oregon (rural, sort of) and now the inmates of all types are fleeing CA and nesting here and bringing all that crap with them. We went from Republican to Democrat in my area almost overnight, it seemed, and it shows. No money to fix potholes, but we sure do have enough to keep funneling to the palaces and nurseries they call schools, resulting in more of the same. I call them "safe spaces for snowflakes." Wish I had originated that phrase.
Why don't I leave? That's my next step. But where I want to go it's getting almost the same way (Colorado).
Thanks! Now I feel much better! (Insert sarcastic grimace.)
I always appreciate your postings. Makes me feel that I am not alone in the struggle, as does being a part of Galt's Gulch.
This whole opportunity of a website is what keeps me sane, truly.

Yesterday we had a small gathering at a local park in an upscale neighborhood to celebrate my daughter's birthday. She's 7 now. At one point she took off her bike helmet to play in the large play structure. That got stolen. She was very upset about it as it was a neat helmet that looked like a dinosaur head. She wore it all the time. Then, my son and I were playing with one of those phoebe Frisbees...those ring-styled affairs that fly really well. Also stolen. I just see it as a sign of the times, of another example of living in California. Too many people here think nothing of just stealing stuff from kids.
