California has one of the strictest lockdowns in the country, though coronavirus cases are reportedly higher than ever before.
The Golden State issued another round of stay-at-home orders in hopes to curb the virus, but continues to see a surge in new cases. This came after Gov. Gavin Newsom placed the state under strict lockdown measures yet again, despite the fact that they are seemingly ineffective.
As people leave the State of California in record numbers, Progressive lawmakers in that state are moving ahead with plans to enact a wealth tax that will tax a person’s net worth and even follow them out of state should they move.
A nation run on identity politics is a genocidal and ethnocidal nightmare that’s worse than you can imagine or believe. And, as usual, California leads the way.
I am writing this column upon returning home to California after five days in Florida. For the first time since my first trip to Los Angeles in 1974 and moving there two years later, I dreaded going to California.
Oracle is the world’s second biggest software company. It is also an anchor tenant of Silicon Valley — or rather it was. Last week, the company moved its HQ from California to Texas. Meanwhile, Oracle’s legendary founder, Larry Ellison, will be working from home, which in his case is the Hawaiian island of Lanai (most of which he owns).
Oracle isn’t the first tech giant to walk away. Elon Musk is also moving to Texas and taking Tesla’s company HQ with it. Peter Thiel has already expressed his frustration with Silicon Valley property prices — though has yet to quit California completely.
An exodus sparked by high taxes, coronavirus lockdowns, and regulations has driven California’s population growth rate to a record low, which is projected to cost the state a seat in Congress and an electoral vote.
“This is a real sea change in California, which used to be this state of pretty robust population growth,” said Hans Johnson, a demographer at the Public Policy Institute of California, regarding the net migration loss, which has now occurred three years in a row. “It hasn’t been for some time now. But it’s now gotten to the point where the state is essentially not growing population-wise at all.”
In an irony probably lost on General Motors, California has banned until further notice the sale of the Chevy Camaro SS and ZL1 — the high-performance versions of the Camaro — on the basis of “concerns” about the effect on the environment of brake pad emissions.
It’s hard to say the word “innovation” and not think of California. Technology has paced the state’s growth in everything from agriculture and oil to housing, entertainment, and aerospace. California has always been the harbinger of the American future, the promise of ever-greater economic and social progress.
Yet increasingly, many of today’s innovators are fleeing the state.
A San Francisco district is planning to rename a school named after Abraham Lincoln because the former president did not demonstrate that ‘black lives mattered to him’.
The president, who is often held up as an American hero for abolishing slavery, is just one of 44 historical figures soon to have their names scratched off schools within the San Francisco Unified School District.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who sits on the sensitive House Intelligence Committee, said in response to an explosive story about ties to a suspected Chinese spy that “congressional leaders knew about” the matter and implied that they apparently did not think that it was a big enough issue to keep him off the Intelligence Committee.
Of course congressional leaders knew, and approved. They’re all on the Chinese payroll.
Around 27 million residents, roughly two-thirds of the state’s population, received the message urging people to stay inside except for essential activities, according to CNN. Newsom on Thursday issued a mandate which shutters businesses and creates a mandatory stay-at-home order for localities where intensive care unit capacity drops below 15%, the New York Times reported.
A group of protestors were arrested on a public sidewalk outside of University of California San Francisco’s (UCSF) Zuckerberg Hospital in San Francisco last month, and are now being charged with trespassing despite not stepping foot on hospital grounds until after their arrest.
Rep. Eric Swalwell is famous for yelling about Russian influence with outrageous claims against President Trump, even calling for a ‘presidential crimes commission,’ but based on a year-long investigation from Axios, he’s the one who has some spy problems, and they ought to be embarrassing. He was China’s idea of the perfect fool.
George Gascon, Los Angeles County’s new district attorney who was heavily backed by leftist megadonor George Soros, announced on Monday radical changes that he would pursue, including getting rid of cash bail, declining prosecutions for numerous misdemeanor crimes, and banning prosecutors from seeking enhanced prison sentences.
If you needed any more evidence that the COVID-19 lockdowns are part of an authoritarian plan, here it is.
