Homeless in California

California is run by the Democrats and it has been for at least a decade. On their watch the homeless problem has continued to get worse. They either lack the ability or the willingness to do anything about it.. Meanwhile the working poor suffer because they are the ones who have to live in the neighborhoods that are unsafe and unsanitary. We moved to Arizona partly because we wanted to live in a safe, clean, urban environment. We couldn’t find it in California but to… Read More »Homeless in California

“The once golden state has atrophied into a land of government run by the government for the government.” Mark Steyn

Priorities

I tried to take some pictures that would illustrate how far out of line California’s priorities seem to be at this rest area near Palm Springs.

It isn’t the reason we left California but it is a contributing factor.

California Wildfires

This is a contributing factor to the fires currently plaguing California:

“In 2016, then-governor Jerry Brown actually vetoed a bill that had unanimously passed the state legislature to promote the clearing of trees dangerously close to power lines. Brown’s team says this legislation was no big deal, but one progressive watchdog called the bill “neither insignificant or small.”

Then just past Santa Fe their luck ran out.  They were attacked by a large band of Apaches and before they could get the wagons circled to begin defending themselves Al was shot through by an… Read More »Sunday Punday 6

“The surest fertilizer of a movement is the blood of martyrs.”  Bernard DeVoto The Year of Decision 1846 This a great book about the Polk administration.  The war with Mexico, the Donner party, the treaty with Great Britain that resolved the Oregon Territories border and much more all happened in 1846.  The book was published in 1940 so the writing is dated but captivating.  Well worth reading.
