Interesting read and confirms a lot of the worst information that I have come to believe about California. I am glad to be in Texas. Only my daughter is left and she lives in Petaluma. She is talking about leaving soon. My son got to Colorado several years ago.
I know of no one who has moved to California. It represents a perfect example of the failure of liberal policies. Yet those California residents to whom I still talk about the dire conditions that I perceive out there vehemently insist that articles such as this are just conservative propaganda and exaggerate the problems.
I am frustrated by these charges of hypocrisy. If Dems are charging Reps with hypocrisy for reversing their position on this issue since 2016, are they trying to claim that they were against Obama appointing Merrick Garland? It probably should be noted that Obama was trying to goad his opposition into giving his nomination a chance. Trump would like his allies to give his appointment that consideration. Not getting one’s way is not a basis to make this kind of charge.
On another front, Jared Kushner made fools of all those who had been ridiculing him since his father-in-law took office and asked him to guide our efforts to forge a wall around Iran and their proxies. That effort is not over, obviously, but key steps keep being made that will dramatically change the balance of influence in the Middle East. I just wish the main stream media showed even a shred of curiosity or intellectual honesty in assessing what is going on there.

Because of unwavering and unabashed commitment to the principles underlying our society, Barr and Trump and Pompeo and others in this Administration have exposed the radicalism taking shape on the left. Hopefully, there is still a sufficient portion of our populace that has not been dumbed down enough to fall for the BS being peddled by the “Resistance”.
And Trump announces the 1776 Commission to help students learn more about our countries foundational principles. Way overdue.
Rocky, no, you don’t sound delusional. Or, more accurately, you sound like I feel. Many good people are walking around thinking that this is all just “a little unusual”. You know, those folks who are commenting at work, “It has been a really bad year”. But it is so far beyond that. The unnerving thing is that, if what we think is true, then a very significant portion of our country are actively trying to destroy our foundational principles. A plurality are like frogs in the pot that is being brought to a boil.
Boomsday is a novel by Christopher Buckley that is a treatment of this inter-generational revolt. Like many of Buckley’s books it is a satire, but it is increasingly looking like non-fiction. 😛
I presume you realize that if you vote for Joe Biden you will contribute to accelerating the momentum into the black hole. Will he (or more accurately, will his overlords allow him to) take decisive action against the manifestations of The Resistance? There are damn few politicians today with the nerve to confront the howling pack. It is the essence of Donald Trump. His willingness to block progress toward the world of Orwell’s 1984 is now unusual. Look at what his OMB director did:
“White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought wrote in a letter to the heads of federal departments:
It has come to the President’s attention that Executive Branch agencies have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to date “training” government workers to believe divisive, anti-American propaganda.
For example, according to press reports, employees across the Executive Branch have been required to attend trainings where they are told that “virtually all White people contribute to racism” or where they are required to say that they “benefit from racism.” According to press reports, in some cases these training have further claimed that there is racism embedded in the belief that America is the land of opportunity or the belief that the most qualified person should receive a job.
These types of “trainings” not only run counter to the fundamental beliefs for which our Nation has stood since its inception, but they also engender division and resentment within the Federal workforce. We can be proud that as an employer, the Federal government has employees of all races, ethnicities, and religions. We can be proud that Americans from all over the country seek to join our workforce and dedicate themselves to public service. We can be proud of our continued efforts to welcome all individuals who seek to serve their fellow Americans as Federal employees. However, we cannot accept our employees receiving training that seeks to undercut our core values as Americans and drive division within our workforce.
The President has directed me to ensure that Federal agencies cease and desist from using taxpayer dollars to fund these divisive, un-American propaganda training sessions.”
The Boomers (my generation) are the cause of much, if not most, if not nearly all directly or indirectly, the rot that has taken place in America. We are the reason that the nation teeters on the cusp of ruin. We are hugely to blame for the depredation and lack of values of our offspring. We had too much material success and collapsed into paroxysms of self-indulgent waste and intellectual masturbation.
This video is a lot of fun. I sent it to a boatload of folks with the message: Can’t we all just get along? 😎
Both of your links worked for me.
It is an interesting story that is unfolding. Blacks are sick of being taken for granted. The ‘Blexit” and the “Walk Away” movements are having an effect. The substantive policy efforts by the Trump administration are having an effect. The fact that progressives are overplaying their positions (really, trying to argue that looting is OK?) is having a major effect.
Not only is Rassmussen more accurate because they use “likely voters”, but they use a representative mix of Dem/Rep voting. If Trump wins even close to 20% of the Black vote, Biden is done. Not just because of the changed voting pattern, but because of what it reflects about a lack of enthusiasm among Black voters for Biden/Harris.
Didn’t know where else to put this, but I liked it. Here it is:
I’m quite surprised by this info:
I had been under the impression that folks in the military are a strong source of support for Trump. The article asserts that, in fact, such support has been steadily declining since Trump was elected.
On the other hand, this recent news has GOT to be a bit unnerving for Biden and his lackeys. Oh, wait. Biden IS the lackey. Anyway,
I am scared to death that expectations for Biden’s debate performance are so ridiculously low that he will be declared the winner if he is even standing at the end.
And I’m told that none of the most highly-regarded clothing designers will work with her. That undermines my faith in efficient markets a little bit.
Also, Google indicates she speaks six languages, but I presume that Midler’s point is that Melania doesn’t speak any of the six as well as Midler speaks English. As Bugs Bunny once said, “What a maroon!!!”.
