There has been no claim of sexual misconduct leveled at Governor Newsom, but there are some significant similarities between California and New York. The most relevant of these is the fact that we are one-party states being held captive to progressive policies. In both states,

2/ taxes are choking the hell out of their citizens, people are leaving and the homeless issues are out of control. If your city is not safe and government is always picking your pocket, it is pretty hard to pursue happiness. CA state government is a disaster, in a political

3/ sense. Our system is that of a
representative democracy, but the? basic problem, it seems to me, is that the people are no longer being faithfully represented in places like California. We are not markedly different from people in Idaho, many of whom were recent

There are five basic issues which, in my opinion, directly affect the quality of life in our society: crime, taxes, education, citizenship rights and housing, and not necessarily in that order. On all five of these, I give Governor Newsom a less than passing or even average

2/ grade. Crime is out of control and there are so many who have very little respect for the rule of law. Taxes are so high in CA that they are driving many in the middle class away from here. Once upon a time, our education system was the envy of the nation. Now, we’re

3/ scrambling to avoid hitting the bottom. Our national and state constitutions guarantee equal rights for all, but there is a constant battle to protect those rights, most recently Prop 16 in CA. And, homelessness is a catastrophe in every major CA city. When asked to explain

I have a very special friend who owns a nails salon. She loves this country, works 7 days/week, about 15/hrs daily, 6 days every week. Goes to church on Sunday, a single mom putting her daughter through college. Her son is in the military serving our country. Prior to Covid,

2/ her nails salon was the source of income for her and 6 other people. The very definition of the American dream and what it means to be an American. About 16 months ago, the Governor issued an order to close all businesses like hers. She and her workers wore masks, and she

3/ installed thick plastic dividers (cages basically) that separated customers and workers. The Governor’s action was, in my opinion, one of the biggest deprivations of individual liberty in American history. My single-parent friend now has 1 part-time worker & herself and she

Yesterday, I had a brief chat with the people's friend for governor, Larry Elder. He is holding up very well, despite the rigors of a grinding campaign. We couldn't ask for a better candidate to represent those of us who want to save and restore

2/ the California that we once knew. This is a very important election, and we all know it. Newsom is in big trouble, and he knows it. He is using "the Republicans" as the bogey man, and calling this the "Republican Recall." He is bringing in Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and

3/ other parts of "the Machine" that has left us stranded on the highway. It seems to me that our nation and, in particular, our state are experiencing a decline. The government is taking too much from us, it is not sufficiently protecting us from bad people in our society, it

UNFAIR...WRONG...CORRUPT...AN OUTRAGE!!!

My state of California is a great state, with some phenomenal people. We come in all colors and we embrace different religious and political backgrounds. We, the people, have learned to live by the creed that our color, sex,

2/ "race," ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation or gender identity should not deny us the right to participate in or contribute to our society. We give true meaning to the overused term, "diversity." On Nov. 3, 2020, we reaffirmed our dedication to the principle of

3/ equal citizenship by rejecting Prop 16 by the landslide margin of 57-43.

A closer look at CA will confirm, however, why the characterisric of "diversity" can be such a misleading attribute. The reason is that it masks the many things that have CA on a path to destruction:

I can only imagine what slavery was like, but I know firsthand about Jim Crow; and for the government to dictate where I could live, who I could marry, what job I could have, with whom I could socialize, where I could go to school, or what public facilities - bus, water fountain,

2/ even toilet - I was allowed to use, is not remotely the kind of paradigm that I want for any human being. Certainly, America should resist in the strongest of terms any idea designed and implemented that would suggest a return to that era.

3/ My country is confronted with, perhaps, the most serious challenge of its remarkable history. In many parts of my country, especially in my home state of CA, many of my fellow citizens are living under tents, on public streets.
