The Laughingstock left coast has a lot going for it. Homelessness, crime, above-average poverty, debt, rare disease, high taxes, street-poop, in-migration of illegals and out-migration of Americans. In defense of these “values,” California has a no-fly list.

The list prohibits any sort of government-related travel to these places for state business. In other words, they’ll spend tax dollars to hand out needles (made of plastic that ends up in the environment) but not for travel to the black-listed states.
…state agencies, departments, boards, authorities, and commissions, including an agency, department, board, authority, or commission of the University of California, the Board of Regents of the University of California, and the California State University. (Gov. Code, § 11139.8, subd. (b).)
If you are not #Woke enough California will do you the honor of a blacklisting. And Iowa has just earned the privilege.
“The Iowa Legislature has reversed course on what was settled law under the Iowa Civil Rights Act, repealing protections for those seeking gender-affirming healthcare,” Becerra said in a news release. “California has taken an unambiguous stand against discrimination and government actions that would enable it.
Iowa was #woke, adding transgender to their anti-discrimination law more than a decade ago. But the people recently added a prohibition against state-funded sexual reassignment surgery. No elective procedures on the taxpayer dime. California couldn’t take that. They rushed out and added Iowa to the no-fly list.
Question? Does that mean Muslim state employees can’t fly to Iowa (Alabama, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, or Texas)? Not on the job. Not from California.
Sounds like an unconstitutional travel ban. Where’s the ACLU or that Judge in Oakland who keeps trying to block Trump’s illegal immigration orders?
Actually, California is free to ban state-funded business travel to wherever it wants or does not. But it has already prohibited more than 20% of the nation. At this rate, the only state’s left will be in the Northeast, including New Hampshire.
Lucky us.
