Victor Davis Hanson at his best, just having a conversation about a subject he knows well, his home state of California. Worth listening to even if you’re not particularly interested in the goings-on of the Golden State. My wife’s sister is a long-time resident, and her husband is the son of career Marine and was raised in Carlsbad, so I have a family connection even if I very rarely go over there.

I am a refugee from Kommiefornia.

I escaped over 20 years ago.

Thank God.




The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC

I left when I enlisted in the Navy. 38 years ago and I wouldn’t go back with a gun to my head. Which, being California, is possible.

Like those people that said "If Trump gets elected I'm leaving the country", I said "when Newson gets elected I'm leaving the state".

And I did.

This outlines something that I've been observing, and am very worried about. The phenomenon of the American people beginning to actively vote against their own best interests. People are putting up with things I didn't think we'd ever put up with. In 1968 Chicago at the Democrat National Convention riots broke out. The people didn't want any part of that and elected Nixon. Today we've had multiple riots in multiple places, and Democrats are still winning elections.

I never thought people would put up with blackouts. High energy prices, high and growing crime. But, they do, and not just in California. Oregon and Washington too. They keep voting for leftists. As long as leftists are in charge on the national level these states will be bailed out. They will not be allowed to fail.

There are 48 million registered Democrats, and 36.5 million registered Republicans. The Republicans had better figure it out. I fear the left thinks it doesn't have to hide like they have in the past, and it can do whatever they want. And, what's that going to mean for the future? God only knows because these people have no limiting principles.

I enjoy VDH's podcast, he usually touches on the situation in CA each episode.

In many States one does not register with a political party. I'm a Central Committee member in St. Louis County and I'm our 24th Senate District representative to the Missouri State Republican Party but I'm not a "registered" Republican with the local Board of Elections.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown
