[California’s 2021 population shrank for the second year in a row. (here)  Our local leftwingers have continued to ignore this phenomenon in the large, and most certainly deny its most proximal cause that can be remedied by rolling back the atrocious tax and regulatory policies with which our one-party monopoly legislature has burdened the once Golden State, and continues to do so unabated.  Reporting on this, the lamestream media (e.g. NPR) explains to its audiences that all this is due only to lower birthrates, Covid deaths, and not enough ‘immigration’ (aka influx of illegal aliens).  Nowhere is mentioned the ongoing Great California Exodus of businesses and workers numbering in the hundreds of thousands annually.  The state’s Democrats continue to count on their double dummy constituents to keep them in office and pay no attention to those behind the curtain who have put California at the bottom in about every measured QoL category. gjr]

    Tru dat! –
    Amazon founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos said in a tweet on Sunday that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) had saved the Biden administration “from themselves” by blocking spending proposals that Bezos said would have further fueled inflation.
    In a tweet on Sunday, Bezos said that the Biden administration “tried hard to inject even more stimulus into an already over-heated, inflationary economy and only Manchin saved them from themselves.”
    “Inflation is a regressive tax that most hurts the least affluent. Misdirection doesn’t help the country,” he added.

    Don. While it is much too early to draw a firm conclusion of the demise of the Woke’s stranglehold on media and political power, there are some stories emerging from several quarters at once. A bunch of stories. Pushback stories. Blowback stories. From LA to DisneyWorld, the word “No!” is raining down on their little Justice Democrat tender heads.

    An article for Psul about the great peace-maker President Potato.
    “President Biden has signed an order authorizing the military to once again deploy hundreds of Special Operations forces inside Somalia — largely reversing the decision by President Donald J. Trump to withdraw nearly all 700 ground troops who had been stationed there, according to four officials familiar with the matter.”

    WELL, AT LEAST BIDEN DID A REALLY SHITTY JOB OF GETTING US OUT OF AFGHANISTAN. TRUMP DIDN’T DO THAT!

    Not only that, but Biden abandoned our military hardware before the Taliban marched into Kubal. To be fair, the Afghan government had collapsed by then. Too hip, gotta go.

    Anyone catch the latest theater from the new, new spokes-liar for the Biden admin?
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-hU1TZt35I
    Apparently some humans are more important than you because they went to the store to buy strawberries.
    I didn’t hear the spokes-witch tell us about a single young child from Chicago gunned down because I guess they don’t count. They weren’t buying strawberries.
    Not making this up.
    I don’t give a crap if they were going to the store to buy a jar of Vasoline and go home and watch porn.
    They were innocent human beings.
    And they were murdered.
    Full stop.
    And of course if they went to buy strawberries and someone deliberately ran them over with a car then the strawberry purchase was a waste of time as a bonus for their souls.
    Being a victim is tricky these days.
    Even non-whites can’t catch a break if they’re from the wrong country. Their ancestral history of being discriminated against is for naught if they have the ‘wrong’ politics.
    And sadly, we see the affirmative action hire just can’t do as well as Peppermint Patty:

    “No wonder the left is after his ass” bigly. Super duper bigly. Carlson to Musk, “Hold my beer.”
    ‘No, Tucker Carlson is not to blame for the Buffalo massacre’
    It is obscene to say that Carlson inspired this act of racist barbarism.
    https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/05/16/no-tucker-carlson-is-not-to-blame-for-the-buffalo-massacre/
    Did I say bigly? Oh mother Left has been demanding that Tucker Carlson be arrested and tried for treason. Biggest threat to our Democracy since the Koch Bros….and the Brain, Karl Rove….and Scooter Libby and Kushner. Don’t think they will ever recover from Trump. Never went through the seven stages of grief and it shows…bigly.

    “Allowed to not just shoot 10 bullets but 30 bullets.”
    Well – there’s the problem. I think we’re zeroing in on how many folks we’re allowed to murder to be acceptable to the left.

    So – whatever carnage you can cause from a single 10 round clip is okie dokie for the Dems but those 25 or 30 rounders is just not on – just not cricket!
    What if I have 2 six shooters from the 1800’s? One in each hand? What if I have box cutters? What if I drive a 5 tonne lorry on top of several folks on a London bridge?
    This woman is alarmed because he was allowed to go across state lines.
    The fact that he threatened to kill white kids in his high school goes completely unnoticed and unexplained.

    Oh yeah – make sure we have more than one supermarket in “those” communities.
    I guess that way the racist shooters would have to travel to more than one location to shoot people.
    Or something.
    What the hell?

    re BT 9:28 – Brad wasn’t my first choice for gov but he has done a bit better than I had thought he would.
    I always have the feeling that if he had a more left wing state to govern, he’d happily move that way. I believe he’ll prevail in the primary.
