I’m seeing lots of inane chatter from democrats today about how half of CA’s forest are federal lands, and therefore that’s where all the blame should go regarding our fires. Nonsense. Allow me to explain...
Radical environmentalist groups have destroyed our forests with the help of the spineless legislators who refuse to stand up to them, for fear of losing the coveted “A” rating.
For decades they have blocked legislation to thin forests, allow timber harvesting, brush removal and controlled burns.
All the dead undergrowth is left to build up, becoming fuel for fire. Add to that the fact that they even managed to keep ranchers from allowing grazing which helps keep the forest floor clean.
So when you hear democrats criticize comments about forest management, ask those democrats how much money they’ve received from groups like the Sierra Club to let our forests and homes burn to the ground.

Last week the CA state Supreme Court made quite a decision. It ruled, unanimously, that Proposition 57, a proposition that allowed for early parole for sexual predators, didn’t live up to the hype.
Governor Brown claimed sexual predators would not be allowed parole. We argued we thought it would. Turns out, we were right.
CDCR regulations excluding sex offenders (other than those convicted of sex offenses classified as violent felonies, such as forcible rape and lewd acts on children under 14) from eligibility for early release are now invalid.
Regarding vaccine distribution: in short, it’s not going well. The state website used to complete registration, CALVAX.org , has been crashing rather routinely.
Additionally, it doesn’t tell you spots aren’t available until AFTER you’ve submitted all your information. Frustrating and a waste of time for those trying to get registered.
And finally, counties have little to no heads up as to how many doses they’ll be receiving and when. It’s impossible to accommodate everyone under these conditions.
Many of our restaurants, and the JOBS they provide, will not survive being forced to close for indeterminate time periods. Here’s what one restaurant owner shared...
As I walk into the grocery store with 30 other people at the same time, I think about my restaurant which allows parties of 6 total, and meticulously spaces out reservations by 10 minutes ensuring guests that aren’t from the same party do not arrive at the same time.
As I take a cart, that has had just the handle sanitized, I think about my restaurant which invested thousands of dollars (so far) on ink and paper to print disposable menus to ensure no two guests touch the same menu.
The day the Governor must defend his lockdown of our state in a court of law.
Here’s the deal:
The lawsuit is intended to issue a “cease and desist” on all of Newsom’s executive orders as well as the entirety of the lockdown. This doesn’t mean covid is gone or that we won’t continue to take appropriate health measures.
What could happen? Well, ideally the judge would rule the lockdown unconstitutional. Which would be GREAT. It would mean the State of Emergency would end.
Regarding ballot harvesting in California, since this practice seems to have caught everyone's attention, I'd like to provide information about who can and cannot engage in this practice, and how they can do so:
Non-citizens are permitted to collect ballots and as long as they are not compensated on a per ballot basis.
Foreign nationals are permitted to collect ballots as long as they are not compensated on a per ballot basis.
I see the Secretary of State isn’t happy about republicans using the ballot harvesting law that democrats passed. Allow me to clarify what the law allows:
A vote by mail ballot collected by a ballot harvester does NOT have to include the name or signature of the harvester on the identification envelope in order to be valid.
A ballot harvester is NOT required to document the vote by mail ballots chain of custody in any way.
