Joy in Sacramento. Voter ID on the ballot in California?

800,000 signatures were needed to get voter ID on the ballot. 1.3 million signatures were collected. Almost half were Democrats. If this does get on the ballot, we will hear the white progressives claiming that Blacks cannot either afford an ID or can’t read or write.

Second argument will be that legal immigrants will be afraid to vote because ICE will arrest them and deport them legal or not. The proposal would require voters to show a government-issued ID whenever they vote in an election in California. Voters who cast ballots by mail would need to provide the last four digits of a unique number on their ID, like a driver’s license number.

We want to thank our friends at the Bee who were an inspiration for this article.

California. Stupid is as stupid does. Make India and South Korea rich again.

California is a dependent state, not a powerhouse

California. Stupid is as stupid does. Make India and South Korea rich again.

There was a time when California had 40 oil refineries. Did the oil run dry? No. The loons felt that it was better to import oil from the Bahamas, India, and South Korea. After this year there will be less than a dozen. All in the name of pollution. But yet they have 15 of the 25 most polluted cities. How about water?

California has hundreds of rivers. 20 ARE VERY LARGE. They only use five of those rivers for drinking, bathing, and gardening. Their largest water source is the Colorado River. And that river isn’t even in California. Sure it borders the state but doesn’t flow in it. And Energy?

California shut down its Nuclear Power Plants and coal industry. But almost 30% of their energy is imported from other states coal and Nuclear Power Plants. Don’t rely on wind and solar. They export that instead of using it to lower utility rates.

It is California that has become reliant on other states for such basic things as energy, gasoline, and water.

California has the resources, financial and natural, to be independent when it comes to those issues, but it does not have the will or the competence. That has left California as a dependent state, which helps explain why it is floundering.

California. Gun Control Just my own thoughts Links from other news sources.

Ninth says you can carry those Nevada bought guns.

Savings for all.

Ninth says you can carry those Nevada bought guns.

A few years back a certifiable loon from California said that California needs strict gun laws because criminals buy most of their guns in Nevada and then come back to California and commit crimes with those Nevada laws. Well since 1967 California had a law against open carrying loaded guns. Of all people Governor Regan signed it into law. Then in 2012 The law added unloaded guns to the law. And since 2012?

Gun deaths and gun homicides have increased in California since 2012, with a clear upward trend in both total firearm deaths and firearm homicide rates. Anywhere from 12% to 53% depending on the crime. From domestic violence to homicide. Oh, those bad Nevada guns.

Friday things changed. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals cited a 2022 Supreme Court ruling and said California’s ban on open carry is unconstitutional.

Will the bubble burst in California?

Will his bubble burst?

Will the bubble burst in California?

Some say that California is a lost cause. Home of the largest group of undocumented folks who and yes, vote to keep the welfare dollars coming in. Even though they have a 12-billion-dollar deficit. Where else can you see a state that spends 22 billion on the undocumented?

How does this happen? They will be bringing in 6 billion more dollars for this year, but the deficit is projected to grow to 35 billion. Some examples.

Newsom’s biggest spending increases have come in K-12 education, healthcare, and housing. All told, spending has grown by over two-thirds in these categories since Newsom came to office. But what is most alarming is how little he has accomplished in his big spending spree. Despite pouring billions of dollars into higher government union teachers’ salaries, California K-12 test scores have not improved and, in fact, have declined compared to other states, particularly red states, such as Florida, Mississippi, and Texas.

Newsom’s billions of dollars spent on housing have done nothing to make housing more affordable. California still has the most expensive housing in the nation, housing starts are still far below other states, and California still has the nation’s highest homeless population.

Throwing away good money. Pension plan loses 71% of investments in clean energy.

Throwing away good money. Pension plan loses 71% of investments in clean energy.

CalPERS committed $465 million to the private equity CalPERS Clean Energy & Technology Fund (CETF) in 2007, ultimately paying in $468,423,814.

Since then, the cash out and remaining investment value of the investment fund has declined to $138,045,373, as of March 31,2025.

That’s a loss of 71 percent, or more than $330 million, for which private equity firms were paid at least $22 million in fees and costs.

Nuff Said.

DOJ to monitor two of the most corrupt states. When it comes to elections.

As we all know, California and New Jersey are corrupt as corrupt can be when it comes to elections. The Department of Justice (DOJ) of Friday announced it would send observers to monitor polling sites in six counties, five in California and one in New Jersey, when elections take place next month.

California governor blames Trump. So what else is new?

California governor blames Trump. So what else is new?

It gets tiring to see how Trumps blamed for things that he has no control over. Now a governor who is spending 250 million on gerrymandering is crying because he says he needs more money for fire aid.

I asked CoPilot this simple question.

How much money does California spend a year on the undocumented? Include education.

California spends an estimated $31 billion annually on services and benefits for undocumented immigrants, according to a 2023 analysis by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)
Nuff said.

It’s not Rocket Science. Jobs are leaving California.

It’s not Rocket Science. Jobs are leaving California.

This failure is reflected in the state’s and (both the highest in the nation), and its Meanwhile other states — Texas, Florida, Arizona, the Carolinas and Tennessee, for example — have copied the California model and they have done it, as Californians once did, based on the goal of lifting up all classes. Long reactionary in their politics and social structure, these states’ business-friendly policies now have something to teach the progressive Golden State.

To revive the California model, you need dedicated visionaries and an evolving workforce, but mostly you need state government to remember what it means to be willing and able to help the visionaries and the workers succeed.

California and Poverty.

How can this be? California has the highest poverty rate.

OK so they’re tied with Louisiana.Newsom declared in April: “California isn’t just keeping pace with the world—we’re setting the pace. Our economy is thriving because we invest in people, prioritize sustainability, and believe in the power of innovation.”

Yet for more than one in six Californians, poverty is the reality of life in Newsom’s state.

This is sending shockwaves in loony liberal land. The New York-based newspaper, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, will launch The California Post out of a newsroom in Los Angeles early next year.
