Quick Shot: Corruption in California?

August 30, 2024 Steve MacDonald

A story about corruption in California isn’t likely to surprise anyone, or that Los Angeles might be the corruption Mecca. It’s a big city with lots of Libs, a lot of money, one-party rule, and a bit of political corruption. How much? Four LA city council members have been investigated in the past year, with … Read more

Google and California Bail Out Newsrooms, Why is No One Happy?

August 27, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Democrats in and out of the media want to bail out newsrooms. The progressives can’t seem to move on. Newspapers are dying, but the people obsessed with Forward keep looking back. Longingly. Pining for a publicly funded propaganda machine (NPR just isn’t enough). Yearning for someone to bail out their mouthpieces. Millions have been dumped … Read more

A Democrat Created Price Gouging Problem

August 22, 2024 Steve MacDonald

California’s list of failures is long, from high taxes and poverty to lax enforcement of theft. Crime pays, and foreign invaders are often held in higher esteem than natural-born residents.

Gov. Nuisance Chokes on His Own Minimum Wage Hike

June 1, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Does Anyone In California Have An Ounce Of Brilliance

May 16, 2024 Ray Cardello

California is one of the Crown Jewels of America. It is a massive state that is as different from north to south as America itself. I have not had the pleasure of visiting the state and driving the length of the PCH, but with the current condition of California, I think I will remove it from my wishlist.

Democrats reportedly are celebrating after passing their $20. hr min wage for many businesses. Yup, a victory for labor rights, they say, only there is a cost. As predicted, fast food chains are scrambling to adjust. Layoffs of full-time employment, cutting hours, some even closing up. Topping this off, prices are rising as we knew they would.

The Marxist goons in Leftistan (DBA California) passed a law requiring retailers with 500 or more employees to include a gender-neutral children’s section or face a 500.00 fine. Well, of course, they did, but wait until you hear what the sponsor had to say about it.

Legislation Could Require Health Insurance to Cover Infertility Drugs … For Men Having Trouble Getting Pregnant

November 11, 2023 Auntie Vaquser

You’ve heard the term when pigs fly. How about the one where progressive left-coasters advance legislation requiring insurance companies to define pigs that can’t fly as disabled and eligible for medical intervention? Now, replace pigs with “men” (that should be easy) and fly with “pregnancy” (not as easy).

No One From Tennessee, Wyoming, or Oklahoma Seem To Want To Move to New Hampshire

October 26, 2023 Steve MacDonald

October 26, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Where is John Galt?

September 17, 2023 Ian Underwood

There’s a new fast food law in California. It raises the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 per hour.

August 27, 2023August 26, 2023 Steve MacDonald

A government that thinks there are too many of us, that we are some sort of burden, and encourages medically assisted suicide will always make its citizens suicidal and then pretend it is a kindness to kill them.
