California Is About to Get Even Worse

You might think that the leftists who run California would be worried about the rapid decline of that state, but no: they are doing all they can to accelerate it. In the Wall Street Journal, Heather Mac Donald outlines California’s latest descent into racialist madness: "What would happen if lawmakers reinvented the criminal-justice system to target 'systemic racism' instead of crime? California is about to find out. Thanks to a 2020 law called the California Racial Justice Act, every felon serving time in the state’s prisons and jails can now retroactively challenge his conviction and sentencing on the ground of systemic bias. To prevail, the incarcerated prisoner need not show that

Hinderaker concludes thus: "If, for some reason, you still live in California, you should get out while you can." The California Democrat Party wants criminals to run free. And FJB has let over 10,000,000 criminals--they're all criminals--over the border, and some of them are MS-13 gangsters or something else as bad. Is a break up of America in the offing? That might become necessary. The GOP is not much good--probably 90% bad--but the Donks are 100% gone, and insane.

Wow, Cuba-fornia wants to be the Mecca for both slaughtering unborn babies up until birth and letting criminals rule the roost!!!!! And when this fails miserably in a couple of years, the lie-berals will be crying that they "just don't understand" how this insane policy could have failed. This wreaks of how Oregon decriminalized hard drugs and that led to so many problems that the sane conservatives tried to warn them about, but they swore that it would work anyway. It didn't, and neither will this insanity in Cuba-fornia!!!

This ploy is used almost everywhere now, with or without a law. That LGBTQ director in Philadelphia and her pink-suited "husband" lying on the side of the road were both screaming racism after breaking multiple laws and resisting arrest. If it works once, it will be used again and again. Kudos to the PA state cop for not falling for their nonsense.

Liberals consider all white people (except themselves) to be racists. So, if they really want to fight systemic racism all they need to do is create a fund that would give those 'white racists' the money they need to get the hell out of California. Problem solved.

Because the voters of California transitioned California politics into a one party run progressive Democrat run State, this is what they are getting and apparently that is what they want!

The effort to counter a suspected injustice with a deliberate, actual injustice, marks the heart of the Leftist madness and hypocrisy. When did we stop teaching toddlers the universal truth that "two wrongs don't make a right"? This is completely (and DELIBERATELY) asinine.

I don't want to sound like an alarmist but that part of the oath our military, police, and politicians take that mentions "enemies foreign and domestic" might be more than just a phrase. When Gropey Joe Biden isn't fighting to keep the borders open or flying 320,000 illegal immigrants to our airports at all hours of the night, he is doing his dementia-best to disarm We the People, especially of those big, scary AR-15 rifles. FACT-O-RAMA! Your pink-haired pinko-in-law likely thinks the AR in AR-15 stands for "assault rifle." It stands for "Armalite rifle." Armalite is the company that originally designed the weapon.

Super Tuesday may have been the day that Joe Biden lost the 2024 presidential election and Donald Trump won it. Both outcomes will have had nothing to do with the vote tallies on Tuesday when a third of the nominating delegates were up for grabs. This moment will have had everything to do with Biden's treachery and Trump's rectitude, if you can believe it. Let's back up for a moment for those curious enough to have read this far. After "justice," the next job of government is the nation's security. In order to accomplish that, elected leaders are required by the binding contract with citizens — the Constitution —

The 2020s are like a South Park episode. Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, earlier this month took time away from encouraging pre-adolescent children to explore their gender identities through the wonders of endocrine-disrupting pharmaceuticals to lecture the public about how climate change might be racist. In a video posted on X, Levine said, “Black Americans are more likely than White Americans to live in areas in housing that increase their susceptibility to climate-related health issues,” and added that “65% of Black Americans report feeling anxious about climate change’s impact.” (X) The Department of Health and Human Services website that viewers

Joe Biden's administration has admitted transporting migrants on secret flights into the U.S. and lawyers for its immigration agencies claim revealing the locations could create national security 'vulnerabilities'. Customs and Border Protection has refused to disclose information about a program last year secretly arranging flights for thousands of undocumented immigrants from foreign airports directly to U.S. cities. It means that while record numbers of migrants were flowing over the southern border last year, the Biden White House was also directly transporting them into the country. Use of a cell phone app has allowed for the near undetected arrival by air of 320,000 aliens with no legal rights

President Joe Biden’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms Director Steven Dettelbach seems to know as much about guns as Democrat-nominated Supreme Court justices. As ATF head, Dettelbach, who was confirmed in 2022 with the help of Senate Democrats and two Republicans, is expected to understand to some degree the items his agency regulates and enforces. Unfortunately for Americans who have endured a slew of attacks on their Second Amendment rights at the hands of the Biden administration, Dettelbach is publicly ignorant about the guns and gun parts his agency wants to ban.

According to a report from New York Magazine's Intelligencer, Joe Biden's aides are hard at work trying to combat the image that he is too old to be president by revealing more behind-the-scenes details that are supposed to make us all feel better about the fact that he doesn't seem to know where he is half the time. "His staffers say Biden swears in private, chews out aides who aren’t performing up to standards, and is well versed in the details of complex regulatory issues. According to two accounts, Biden can also get a little spicy, in a Diamond Joe sort of way," reports New York Magazine's Matt Stieb.

Last week, murdered college student Laken Riley trended on Twitter, with conservatives pointing out, correctly, that Biden hadn’t said a word about the young life that was violently taken by one of his beloved illegals. Author/strategist Ryan James Girdusky tweeted, “If only people went to the streets to demand change in the name of Laken Riley, like they did for George Floyd.” Ryan, one of the sharpest young guys on the scene today, was making a rhetorical point. But all the same, I’d like to address it. A day or so after Ryan’s tweet, an Air Force dumbass named Aaron Bushnell immolated himself outside the Israeli Embassy in D.C.

"Tell me you went to high school in the '70s without telling me that you went to high school in the '70s."

One generally doesn't emerge from a weekend expecting the Supreme Court to put a spring into one's Monday step. These interesting times we live in are occasionally the good kind of interesting.

In this business, one can find oneself traveling down rabbit trails. A promising bit of news may turn out to be not nearly as engaging or important as advertised, or it may be outdated. That sends a writer back to the drawing board. This happened Monday afternoon. A story I thought was worth investigating turned out to have its origins back on December 5, 2023. I muttered a word that I cannot write here and wondered why no one in the media seems to understand the words "news cycle" anymore. But I kept on reading because, occasionally, the story is not just about the facts but the background.

Mark Cuban, the minority stake owner of the Dallas Mavericks, reaffirmed his political support for President Joe Biden and vocal opposition to former President Donald Trump. In an interview with Bloomberg News that published Monday, Cuban went as far as saying that he would vote for Biden even if Biden was on his death bed. “If they were having his last wake, and it was him versus Trump, and he was being given last rites, I would still vote for Joe Biden,” Cuban told Bloomberg.

There is a new twist in the Fani Willis-Nathan Wade legal saga after a co-chief deputy district attorney for Cobb County claimed key witness Terrence Bradley lied about his knowledge of Willis and Wade's relationship. While there has been no ruling on Willis' disqualification, legal scholar Jonathan Turley questioned on "America's Newsroom" Tuesday why the pair has not "stepped aside" as their legal quagmire worsens "by the day." JONATHAN TURLEY: It was painful to watch. It had that look of a hostage tape, where he was just saying, 'I know nothing, I heard nothing. If I said anything, I didn't mean it.'

Each side in today’s often-angry political debate over the upcoming presidential election seems convinced that its candidate has a clear advantage. But, as of now, neither President Joe Biden nor former President Donald Trump has an obvious edge in the popular vote as we enter the final eight months of the 2024 election season, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. Despite being widely criticized for his lackluster campaign and showing continuing signs of age-related mental impairment, Biden holds a slender 43% to 42% lead over Trump.

Haley voters are up for grabs. Who wants them more - Donald Trump or Joe Biden? That's the question today. Nikki Haley suspended her campaign today. "I have no regrets," she said as she delivered a short speech to supporters. She did not endorse Donald Trump. I didn't anticipate that she would do that today. That may change down the road, we'll have to wait and see. She did offer her congratulations to Trump and wished him well. Haley liked to say that her campaign was not all about her, that it was not personal. She said she was running for the sake of America.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) and Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) are fighting back against crime in the New York City subway system by reinstating bag checks. Hochul announced Wednesday she is deploying 1,000 additional law enforcement officers to the subway, including 750 New York National Guard members and 250 members of law enforcement. Adams ordered an additional 1,000 law enforcement officials to patrol the subway in February after the city saw a 45% increase in crime in January compared to January of last year. “We know people feel unsafe,” Adams said. “We are reinstituting bag checks. There are several things we are reinstituting in the system.”

COVID-19 protests are making a comeback. But this time, the shoe is on the other foot. Or, more appropriately, the mask is on the other face.
