Been waiting for this. Another Tammy Bruce, another Christia Hoff-Summers was created today. You go girl. They left you. Your vision got hijacked. Race trumps gender and political expediency trumps morality.
“Theresa Shook, founder of the Women’s March, called on leaders of the liberal political-protest movement to step down on Monday amid widespread backlash against their refusal to condemn anti-Semitic and homophobic allies.”
“Bob Bland, Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour and Carmen Perez of Women’s March, Inc. have steered the Movement away from its true course,” she continued. “I have waited, hoping they would right the ship. But they have not. In opposition to our Unity Principles, they have allowed anti-Semitism, anti-LBGTQIA sentiment and hateful, racist rhetoric to become a part of the platform by their refusal to separate themselves from groups that espouse these racist, hateful beliefs. I call for the current Co-Chairs to step down and to let others lead who can restore faith in the Movement and its original intent.”

It’s happening all the time. 9,000 businesses have left the state and not all of them small. Toyota, Carl Jr’s are some of the bigger names. More left than came in, but the difference is only 14,000. CA just ain’t creating the jobs or housing right now.
When the Republicans ran CA, the Golden State was the 5th largest economy in the world. Think it’s now the 7th. Good job.
Gotta ❤️ this story. Dated, but still rings true to this very hour. Here is a shining example. To build a recycling facility on a former landfill site….ain’t going to happen in CA. Not even for the largest recycling company in the world.
“In Phoenix, the emphasis is on granting business permits very quickly.
Arizona’s fast-track permitting allows certified architects and engineers in Phoenix to get building permits in a single day.
By contrast, Duane Woods told KCRA 3 that California’s process is painfully slow.
As a former executive at Waste Management, the largest recycling company in the world, Woods moved his regional headquarters from California to Arizona.
“We started trying to permit a major recycling facility in LA at an old landfill site, mind you. That site is still not permitted to this day,” the former VP told KCRA 3.
Woods said the permitting process has taken more than 10 years, and there still is no facility in California.
Yet, it took just two years to build the same plant in Arizona.
“If you took a white board and said, how can we make it difficult, how many agencies can we layer on, California is just as complex as it can be,” Woods said. “It’s not an employer-friendly state. And to that end, it’s more difficult — definitely more costly to operate in.”
Of all the states, California ranks dead last for policy friendliness, with key negatives for high taxes, high workers compensation costs and high electricity costs, according to the most recent report from the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council.”

Exactomundo. All that matters is Nevada County becomes like Nevada City….and has a dope shop. Don’t forget the pot shop.
I was thinking about something this morning. Something like 94% of the Castro District voted for Hillary and 92% here and 90% there around the Santuary City by the Bay. And still, it ain’t blue enough for them. That be Frisco Values for sure. Watch where you step there, partner. And yes, this stool is taken.
Then I thought of Oberlen College or the like after the 2016 elections. The students voted at a place on campus. Come to find out, among the student body who voted, there was like a hundred that voted for Trump. Well, the unhinged students raced to the voter office and wanted the names of those traitorous racists that voted wrong. “Names,” they demanded, “we want names!” Fortunately for the safety of the guilty the office would not provide the Blue Mob with names. Silly rules. The witch-hunt began to find the evil doers, lol. We know who you are…
Then I thought about all the relatively recent former SF mayors. Like, Di-Fi went in to the Senate, Newsome became Gov, and even Willie Brown has his time as hiz honor. Think Willie was the best of that sorry bunch. Boy, was that ever a recipe for turning the City into a shithole. And now they want it Blue here. No thanks, I use toilet paper.
There are more folks in my area than in Nevada City. Don’t seem very Blue in my neck of the woods. And I vote for Di-Fi cause I figure she would be the first to die. That DeLeon crafted the Santuary State bill and couldn’t risk him in Washington. 🙂 Frisco Values! It’s gonna be like Oaksterdam University right here in Nevada City, the county seat! It’s going to be terrific. It’s going to be beautiful and save Nevada City.

The invasion of Mexico. Now here’s something that will call out the progressives’ cricket corps. The lamestream (along with local liberals) have been mocking President Trump for labeling the thousands of Central Americans “invaders”, those who are marching north to enter the US illegally. And then going hyper when the president sent troops to the border. These liberal know-nothings can’t tell the difference between someone asking for legal entry into our land, from someone planning to illegally crawl over or under our border barriers. To those numbnuts both entrants are undifferentiated as ‘immigrants’, and not invaders, a term invented by Trump. Well boys and girls, now that the ‘migrants’ have hit Tijuana by the thousands and started fighting with the city’s police and citizens, every Mexican interviewed has now started calling them (wait for it) “invaders” – and boy are they angry at these invaders. My money says the lamestream will do everything they can to suppress this little shift in the political winds.
Tonight’s news reports that the first tranche of these invaders number over 10,000 and are overwhelmingly military age males travelling alone, with over 500 who already have been identified as criminals, and the men’s confirmed tactic to generate fake news is to have whatever women and children there are to take the up front positions so that the double dummies in the US will be fooled into thinking this is women and children’s march to our borders. All this is invisible to our anti-American Left.
Exit question – how many retractions and corrections will we hear about all this from the Dem-pocketed progressive media?

Paul the answer to your question “If the Republicans are so right all the time about things like this why are they on the endangered species list list in California?” Is that big, highly populated cities don’t know where all the things they need and enjoy comes from. A kind of welfare they’re unaware of…so they follow the leaders of their cult. That’s why many years ago we were hired to educate them otherwise. It’s not that hard to understand if you’ve raised children.

Guess she hasn’t heard about the 3rd co-equal Chamber of Government, the Judiciary. :). Wow.
