Cali has again lost 20% of its oil refining capacity, along with the previous losses as the companies pull out of the state because over regulation and rank stupidity and corruption . Newscum orders dams destroyed, because of “environment “ so that power source is dwindling. Renewables are so corrupted they could never, ever take over. Gas will soon be 8 to 12 dollars a gallon and the state is leaking productive citizens like a sieve. Because of the law to replace gas station underground tanks with double wall ones, small gas stations are folding (1 million bucks average to replace). Some small communities don’t have a gas station anymore and the fire department has to drive 20 miles each way to fill up their fire equipment. Such is just a tiny part of Newscum failure. Mr. Shirley better wear a projectile proof vest now. The left is going after him.

God always keeps His next step hidden, and we would do well to do likewise. While resistance attention is on Nick Shirley or James O’keefe, another reporter will have a chance to rise up. With rot as deep and wide as Cali has, it shouldn’t be that hard to find another tentacle. Just look into where most of their govt money goes. That’s the best place to hide grift.

Note as well that we have billionaires fleeing the state, a place where the top earners pay a big majority of the taxes. We are so screwed.

In Marin County, the Costco ( and many other huge stores) are built over the fragile wet lands. Now,a brand new Costco gas station has been permitted to be built on that same filled in land. They say those “double concrete containers “ are what will protect the environment from potential contamination,and,building this new station is the ONLY way less expensive gas will be available in this area…I’d laugh,but,it’s not funny…

A geologist i follow has pointed out several indicators,including the location of earthquakes in counter point areas,the rare planetary alignment,and,even the “Doomsday fish” that washed up in Monterey,all pointing to the BAY AREA in VERY high risk of a very large earthquake. I hope he’s wrong,but,I’m guessing it would be something Gruesome would not be totally displeased about…it would be quite the distraction..

Since I lived in CA for many years, I have many friends there. Even the Democrat ones hate Newscum and have been calling him that forever. They tell me he rigged the recall or he would not still be governor. His record is abysmal and that doesn't even include the fraud which is monumental. I think it's about to get real for him though...with Nick Shirley on the case.

I have dem friends who would vote for Newscum EVERY DAY over any Republican candidate, regardless of how bad the state is managed. I had a friend complain about high gas prices AFTER VOTING AGAINST A GAS TAX RECALL. These people are insane.

Tell me about it... I have maybe four friends with whom I can safely discuss anything political. I'm surrounded by masked, EV-driving, virtue-signaling Trump-deluded morons who profess openness and love but are instantly rabidly hateful if you dare to question any of their cherished political beliefs.

I think that this fraud exposure in blue states is also going to tie into significant voting irregularities, which we'll see is how progressive dems have managed to achieve their electorate success. We've already seen it in MN.

It doesn't make sense that 50% of this country supports clearly batshit policies that objectively harm Americans.

California is too beautiful a place to let fall to Mordor.

My feelings,exactly! California is an astonishingly beautiful state. And,I’m a native. I absolutely will not give up on California. If I do,the bad guys win… and,moving people out may very well BE a goal of those dirty deed doers...

The ONLY exception could be if grandchildren are born, and,California policies on vaccines required for school have not been changed and,the BS about keeping parents “uninformed “ about many important issues… and,there are workarounds for those issues,but,we should not HAVE to find workarounds!

I hate to say this, I was born in CA and think it was the most beautiful state and I have great memories of it growing up in the 60's and 70's there, but good luck with that. I just don't see it happening. You should read Kurt Schlichter's books People's Republic series - man, it just seems CA is almost all the way there. Responsible coffee anyone?

Unfortunately,not in my part of California. I absolutely will not talk politics with 95% of the people I know or I would not have anyone to play music with. It is sooo bizarre because most of these people I really like,as long as that subject is off limits…

The only social media I do is local ND and from that it appears at least 10 to 1 people adore Newscume and believe he does a good job….sigh….

Tonee norman's avatar

Mostly bluegrass, with some swing and blues thrown in.I very much enjoy the connection made when singing tight harmonies,especially trios! And,gospel,and,old Virginia hills type stuff…But,bluegrass really IS a combination of so many different genres from history.Bill Monroe(considered the father of bluegrass) wrote so many different kinds of songs on his mandolin. From that “high lonesome “ sound,to downright bluesy stuff..it used to be considered “ hillbilly music”, but,now,the young people taking over the scene are absolutely astonishing and it is considered veeery cool,now😎😉 Many of the biggest young stars are kids I watched grow up,over the years who started out hanging with their parents at the festivals. Especially the “Father’s day “ festival in Grass Valley!

Nice! I started out with Old Tyme -- I remember those wonderful festivals of "hillbilly music" :) Yes, so much crossover -- like Hank Williams' Mind Your Own Business, classic 12 bar blues. Our band does a lecture/performance for retirement communities called A Stroll Through American Roots Music. It was fun to research the history of the different genres to develop the program. Very cool you can sing well!

What does this tell us and why the sudden change? Walz is out since he’s politically toxic and might be behind bars by 2028. Kamala is a joke, can’t run her again. With the USAID and Learing Center funding drying up, cheat tactics have to shift. They might have to run on actual political norms, which means slinging mud. Happy for us/sad for them that Newscum is apparently the best option they have.

You’re all giving Newscum too much credit. The posts and the strategy are not his. Somebody else is scripting it all, he’s just the actor delivering it.

That’s what I love about Trump. He’s real, raw, and it’s all him - mistakes and all. He doesn’t need an army of narrative builders in the back room to prop him up theatrically.

Man, between this rhetoric heating up, the unraveling fraud details we're seeing in blue states, Venezuela, the CIA-coordinated drone attack on Putin's residence, the US piracy of a Russian-flagged freighter in the North Sea and Russia picking up the infrastructure attacks on Ukraine, things are getting a bit fierce.

And this shooting of the "Observer" in Minneapolis might touch off a full-on civil war.

Brilliant analysis. Newsome has realized that most people will listen to the smack talk and don't check facts. And if they do, they'll go to media which is on his side. They will ignore the fact that their lives are much better and much progress has been made. Also, Newsome is younger and better looking and most people are quite shallow in that regard. The Dems will love him and probably the low information voters as well. It is very concerning!

They already do…I don’t see this attracting any new voters…just amusing his base. Trump attracted new voters because, while low brow, his comments spoke truth to what so many were feeling. Gavin is just spewing and insulting. Solving nothing. No solutions. Just insults. Kinda sad and pathetic, really.

His craptalk is just so transparent. Of course everybody knows what he’s doing. Instead of helping his state, his monumental and certifiable psychopathic behavior plus his erratic body language is on display for all to see—except for certain elements of the left. I switched parties for good and voted for Trump. I’d do it again. When enough truth gets in, Trump sounds and looks different than the gaslighting I got before.

All true. The electorate of this continent has proven beyond doubt that they're lazy and reactive.

BUT...won't the real contest be in '28? Against Vance, Rubio, or possibly DeSantis? Any one of them could utterly shred Newsom. However, I believe Newsom is going to up to his neck in federal charges by the end of this year. He will not be able to manage that as well as Trump, since he's guilty as sin, and Trump wasn't.

Re: the poll, that was a tough one. I picked, "Only in his own mind", but it was a mental debate between it and "unfortunately, yes". The problem being that considering every single democrat I know, I am next to certain they would totally vote for him. They seriously wouldn't see a single red flag.

TOUGH read this morning, Jenna! I only waded through it, hip-deep, out of respect for the heroic effort you put into it. Ickkk.

However, the exercise resulted in me thinking that "something has now 'clicked'" in the national socialists' party and that now it is more important than ever that Trump win in November.

The 'click' is a conclusion that "we've simply 'got' to ape Trump 'because it wins!'"[1], and UNLESS Trump wins this fall, the consequence will be that it's the "method" that wins. Every election from then on will style itself that way.

If, on the other hand, The Donald pulls it off, History might tell itself, "Donald is a one-of," and the ship, having been saved from piling onto the rocks--before wandering rudder-less back out to founder in the deep--will right itself and sane citizens can again be welcomed to run for office in the political forum (not fray).

America, having gotten up off her knees, will need--and deserve--statesmen and women rivaling those of her glorious past.

[1] Keep an eye on Kamala: if she "goes mean-nasty," we'll know the decision has been made.

Trump "too busy" for an "insult fest?" I guess, theoretically, but I wouldn't take that bet at even odds. Busy as he always seems to be, he strikes me as "never too busy" to START insult fests.

As the democrats inch closer to a Newsom nomination I'm reminded of a long ago quip. "If Jerry Brown is the answer, it's a damn peculiar question."

I don't remember all that much about Jerry, but the quote sure fits well with Gavin (or Trump, for that matter).
