When you can’t win legally do what California does. Gerrymander.

Views: 13

When you can’t win legally do what California does. Gerrymander. No state does it better. Their legislatur used to do it, but the voters changed the system. They created a phony California Citizens Redistricting Commission.

So this so called Commission redrew the districts. They took six Republican districts that were about 5% more Republican, and added more Democrat voters. Now the Democrats have a chance to flip these districts. Below are the six.

Young Kim, 40th District

Michelle Steel, 45th District

Mike Garcia, 27th District

Ken Calvert, 41st District

John Duarte, 13th District

David Valadao, 22nd District

Hate at UC Davis.

Hate at UC Davis.

A school with a bad history. Incidents include everything from peer-to-peer and faculty misconduct to overt threats of violence and physical assault.

UC Davis has done it now. StandWithUs Center for Legal Justice (SCLJ) filed a Title VI complaint on Monday with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, which investigates claims of discrimination involving shared ancestry. The group cited such incidents as a professor who advocated murdering Zionists, a student punched in the face after questioning someone tearing down hostage posters and a proliferation of anti-Semitic graffiti.

This was always known about this school, but since the progressives allies attack on Israel October 7, this was finally out for all to see.

What did you think would happen? Restaurants in California laying off people.

Views: 20

What did you think would happen? Restaurants in California laying off people. Come April 1st, the restaurant minimum wage goes up to $20.00 an hour. Just last year state minimum went to $16.00 an hour.

Yes this is for large chain restaurants, but it effects small business outside of the restaurant industry. Folks will demand the same $20.00 an hour. How are the large chains reacting? Higher prices, layoffs, and reduced hours. There is a group fighting this.

The “Save Local Restaurants” coalition has been vocal in its opposition to the FAST Recovery Act in California. This law, which could set the fast food minimum wage as high as $22 an hour next year, has drawn criticism from the fast-food industry. The coalition includes a mix of stakeholders, such as small business owners, restaurant owners, franchisees, employees, consumers, and community-based organizationsNotable contributors to this coalition include Burger King, McDonald’s, and KFC owner Yum Brands. They argue that the law unfairly targets their industry and could lead to higher labor costs and menu price increases. In response to the Act’s passage, the coalition filed a voter referendum seeking to repeal the legislation2The legislation applies to fast food restaurants with more than 100 locations nationwide.

The FAST Recovery Act aims to establish sectorwide minimum standards on wages, working hours, and other working conditions related to the health, safety, and welfare of fast food restaurant workers. Labor unions pushed for the creation of a Fast Food Council to address the challenges faced by fast food workers, who are often part of a disempowered workforce with a history of low wages and limited worker protections.

Judge allows Gaetz and Greene to go forward with their lawsuit against California cities.

Views: 20

Judge allows Gaetz and Greene to go forward with their lawsuit against California cities. Three California venues that were slated to hold “Put America First” rallies in 2021 canceled their plans amid concerns over the divisiveness of the lawmakers. The event was originally planned to be held in Laguna Hills, then moved to Riverside and finally to Anaheim.

Judge Hernán Vera wrote that Greene and Gaetz had adequately convinced the court that the cities of Anaheim and Riverside plausibly canceled their 2021 event based on “viewpoint discrimination.” The ruling allows the reps to press forward their case against the cities.

Well, known Progressive hate groups were added to the lawsuit. The NAACP and the League of Women Voters, along with others. This upset the judge who claimed those groups had first amendment rights.

State Farm, California’s largest insurer, announced that it will discontinue coverage for 72,000 homes.

Views: 7

 

State Farm, California’s largest insurer, announced that it will discontinue coverage for 72,000 homes and apartments starting this summer, a move likely to sharply inflate housing costs for affected residents in a state that’s reeling from a series of destructive recent wildfires.

The Illinois-based insurance giant, which accounts for a fifth of the California home insurance market and is the largest property and auto insurer in the U.S., cited rising costs, increasing catastrophe risk and outdated regulations in declaring it won’t renew California policies for 30,000 homes and 42,000 apartments.

“This decision was not made lightly and only after careful analysis of State Farm General’s financial health,” the company said in a March 20 statement. “State Farm General takes seriously our responsibility to maintain adequate claims-paying capacity for our customers and to comply with applicable financial solvency laws. It is necessary to take these actions now.”

The announcement comes less than a year after State Farm announced it would not issue new policies in California, citing similar concerns. And it comes as the state’s elected insurance commissioner embarks on a yearlong overhaul of home insurance regulations aimed at calming California’s imploding market by giving insurers more latitude to raise premiums while extracting commitments from them to extend coverage in fire-risk areas.

“One of our roles as the insurance regulator is to hold insurance companies accountable for their words and deeds,” said Deputy Insurance Commissioner Michael Soller. “State Farm General’s decision today raises serious questions about its financial situation — questions the company must answer to regulators. … We need to be confident in State Farm’s strategy moving forward to live up to its obligations to its California customers.” But it was unclear whether the department would launch an investigation into State Farm’s move.

Harvey Rosenfield, the Consumer Watchdog founder who authored the state’s insurance regulation system approved by voters in 1988’s Proposition 103, said the company’s announcement comes just after the state Department of Insurance approved a 20% premium increase for the company. That approval was based on State Farm’s existing number of policy holders, and he said the state should take another look at the rate hike considering the new cancellations.
